Trump Visits Western Wall In Jerusalem

Trump drags his scandals back into the spotlight on foreign trip
President Donald Trump on Monday denied divulging Israel as the source behind highly classified intelligence he allegedly shared with Russian officials, bringing attention back to the scandals engulfing his White House while he's on his first foreign trip.

Flashback to the late 70s

I met some Turks at an ad agency around 1977. Over a business lunch they were telling me about their country, Muslim religion, etc...

They told me of a legend among Muslims in Turkey. It revolved around a glowing orb. The orb was stolen by the Vatican and hence the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The orb is deep in the bowels of the Vatican supposedly. Once the Turks get the orb back they will return to their former glory.

For the past 40 years, I never knew quite what to believe about that legend. I often wondered if they were joking with me.

But then I saw this photo online this morning and burst out laughing.

White House Staff Reacts To Trump Going Overseas

Trump told Russians firing 'nut job' Comey eased pressure on him: report
President Trump told Russian officials his firing of FBI Director James Comey relieved “great pressure” on him, calling the former FBI chief a “nut job,” The New York Times reported Friday.
"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to a report based on a summary of the meeting obtained by the Times.

Russians are our friends.
California Congressman Warned About Russians
The F.B.I. warned a Republican congressman in 2012 that Russian spies were trying to recruit him, officials said, an example of how aggressively Russian agents have tried to influence Washington politics.
The congressman, Dana Rohrabacher of California, has been known for years as one of Moscow’s biggest defenders in Washington and as a vocal opponent of American economic sanctions against Russia. He claims to have lost a drunken arm-wrestling match with the current Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, in the 1990s. He is one of President Trump’s staunchest allies on Capitol Hill.

Biden Looking To Further Divide Democrats. Sad.
Former Vice President Joe Biden still isn't done with Hillary Clinton and the 2016 election -- and that may be why he refuses to rule out running again for president in 2020.

This Is How A Special Prosecutor Treated The Clintons
We Arkansans who remember the assault of Kenneth Starr and his army upon our state are amused at the current party leader who’s whining about being “mistreated.” The tragic trail of families disrupted, reputations defamed, and lives destroyed by this man and his legions, will remain in collective memories for years to come. They include those of a dear lady who witnessed her personal library subpoenaed because some books “contained coded messages,” according to a Starr operative. These consisted of dates with suspicious lettering beside them, such as “tg, pc, mp, ml, and fc.” The worst James Bond villain couldn’t have posed a greater threat to our national security. The only thing missing was crime-scene tape.
