TV Networks Effectively Boycott WH Pool Coverage After Trump’s Press Ban

TV Networks Effectively Boycott WH Pool Coverage After Trump’s Press Ban

The five networks which make up the White House TV press pool have banded together to effectively boycott pool coverage of Trump in response to his media ban.

The best time for the media to stop covering him was about 10 f**king years ago.

My Silly Guess Is That Maybe Iran Will Arm Cuba?

Iran warned Monday it would use "new weapons with new capabilities" if the U.S. launched a fresh assault after President Donald Trump ramped up the rhetoric against Tehran over the weekend.

"If a new aggression takes place, we will definitely change the weapons and geography of the war," Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesman for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Monday, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency.

Mohebbi did not provide details on what the new weapons were or which new locations could be hit.

Fun fact: Had Trump not arbitrarily ended Obama’s JCPOA, the Strait would be open, Iran would not be pursuing a nuclear weapon, and fuel prices would be much cheaper. - Alex Cole

The Harpy Strikes Again

President Donald Trump announced his ban against CNN, MS NOW, and Politico just hours after executive aide Natalie Harp showed him a clip of MS NOW bashing his administration, according to a Sunday report from The Wall Street Journal.

MS NOW’s critical coverage added to months of irritation about how the press has been covering his second term, but the video Harp showed Trump made his frustrations reach a “fever pitch,” the report said.

The announcement of a deal regarding the future of Greenland hopefully ends a period of tension between the United States, Denmark, Greenland, and other European allies. U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed a triumphant deal, but the whole thing has been an exercise in pointlessness. Though more details, including the full text of the agreement, need to be released, much of what the purported deal accomplishes was either already the case or could have been achieved through diplomacy and without the threats of coercive action.

Congress Investigates Reports Top Secret F-35 Technology Was Diverted To China

Congress Investigates Reports Top Secret F-35 Technology Was Diverted To China

Congress is working to get to the bottom of reports that top secret F-35 fighter jet technology was mistakenly diverted to Hong Kong over the summer.

According to Politico, “A shipment of F-35 parts bound for the United States for repairs was rerouted as it transited the Pacific Ocean from Australia, according to three people familiar with the matter who were granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. The Pentagon confirmed the disappearance of some components.”

The parts included one of the jet’s acrylic canopies that covers the cockpit “and contains stealth technology that only the U.S. and its allies have access to,” the report said.

What the hell is going on? A freebie for China? Or no oversight?

I Hope He's Telling The Truth. It Is Hard To Trust Anyone In This Administration.

The top official at the U.S. Postal Service said Thursday that the agency has stopped work on developing a controversial computer system that was central to President Donald Trump's effort to limit mail voting after the Supreme Court rejected his executive order this week.

"There's an injunction so we're not doing anything," postmaster general David Steiner told The Associated Press in an interview.

For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. 

I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. "Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? 

Give me a break!

I Guess Shooting Horses Bored Trump

The Trump administration has further reduced protections for endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

That law prohibits any “take” of endangered species, which it defines as to “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.”...“They are basically going to be told … ‘Look the other way on virtually all types of harmed or endangered species. We are not in the business of enforcing that anymore,'”

The electoral college is DEI for Republicans.
