President Trump is doubling down on his suggestion that the federal government "challenge" the broadcast licenses of networks that report what he deems "fake news."

What's With Anthony Bourdain? He Didn't Slam Obama's Late Response.
Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is not letting Hillary Clinton off the hook for her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced film producer who is accused of sexually harassing and raping young women in the film industry for decades. ..Bourdain, whose girlfriend, Asia Argento, claims she was raped by Weinstein in 1997, called Clinton’s interview “shameful in its deflection and its disingenuousness.” Bourdain also suggested that Clinton may have known about Weinstein’s behavior for years before the bombshell reports on him were released last week.
“Know what Hillary Clinton is NOT? She’s not stupid. Or unsophisticated about the world. The Weinstein stories had been out there for years,” he tweeted.



As awful as Harvey Weinstein is, we must remember he still doesn't control any branches of our government.- Erik Bransteen

Someone Is Trying To Discredit CNN
LawNewz.com has learned that CNN’s Legal Department is now looking into a hoax website that is pushing a story about a security guard in Las Vegas being arrested following the massacre. The apparent hoax caught traction early Thursday after a “CNN” article claimed there was a second arrest in the Oct. 1 mass shooting at Mandalay Bay: the security guard originally credited with helping stop Stephen Paddock was booked as the second gunman

Achy Fakey News

Hannity Slams Left for Hypocrisy on Weinstein, Forgets He JUST Had Bill O’Reilly On as Guest
During tonight’s opening monologue on Fox News’ Hannity, host Sean Hannity devoted more than 10 minutes to highlighting what he claimed was the hypocrisy of liberals when it came to the bombshell sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein.

Does the Second Amendment protect an individual right to sell firearms to the public? 
No, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday in Teixeira v. County of Alameda, a landmark decision affirming the government’s constitutional authority to strictly regulate gun shops. The 9–2 ruling is a victory for gun safety advocates who feared judicial aggrandizement of the right to bear arms could invalidate myriad laws governing firearm commerce. The decision may be imperiled, however, if the plaintiffs appeal to the Supreme Court, where conservative justices are increasingly eager to expand the scope of the Second Amendment.






White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders today said that President Trump’s comment that he has a higher IQ than Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was a joke and told reporters they should “get a sense of humor.” They should get a sense of humor?

Meanwhile In Puerto Rico

 White House lets Jones Act waiver expire for Puerto Rico  
The White House has let a 10-day shipping waiver expire for Puerto Rico, meaning foreign ships can no longer bring aid to the hurricane-ravaged island from U.S. ports.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed on Monday that the Jones Act waiver, which expired on Sunday, will not be extended.

Trump Continues To Intimidate Rex Tillerson
President Trump in a new interview offered to compare IQ tests with Rex Tillerson after reports that the secretary of State had called him a "moron."








Email
Subject: Trump vs. Tillerson

Hi Lisa,

Donald Trump has his knickers in a twist over Rex Tillerson’s calling him a “fcking moron.”  But I think Tillerson actually paid Trump a great compliment and Trump just doesn’t realize it.

Recall that a “moron” has an IQ between 51 and 70.  The IQ of an “imbecile” runs between 26 and 50.  An “idiot’s” IQ is 25 or below.  The intensifier “fcking” suggests an IQ that’s relatively low within its range.

Also recall that IQ is defined as Mental Age / Chronological Age X 100.  Thus, a 12-year-old with a Mental Age of 12 has a 100 IQ.

Donald Trump’s Chronological Age is 71 years.  But his Mental Age is clearly no higher than 11 years.  That gives him an IQ of (11 / 71 X 100) = 15.5.  He is solidly within the “idiot” range.

For Trump to qualify as a “fcking moron,” he would have to have a Mental Age of at least 37 years.  But Trump has not shown himself to be that mature since he was, well, probably 37.  Maybe it’s no accident that the Founders set 35 as the minimum age to be president.

So Tillerson, while he was maybe trying to be complimentary, was wrong.  Donald Trump is not a “fcking moron”; he is a “fcking idiot.”

Of course, there is always the Dunning-Krueger effect, where the subject is too stupid to understand how stupid he is.  That could apply to anyone with an IQ below 70.  It definitely applies to Trump and many of his supporters.

So let’s all hang in there.  With only 3 years and 3 months to go, we will get through this.  Unless we don’t.

~Rick


Thanks for writing, Rick. 

Trump's grasp of spatial awareness is so impressive. "This is an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water.” 

Only 3 years and 3 months? Just shoot me after I have a cup of covfefe.

Melania Trump has accused her husband’s first wife, Ivana Trump, of “attention-seeking and self-serving noise” after the first Mrs Trump joked that she was first lady.
On a tour to promote her new book, Raising Trump, about raising Donald Trump’s three eldest children, Ivana said she still spoke to her ex-husband about once every 14 days on a “direct number to the White House”.
She told ABC News she was reluctant to call the president too often “because Melania is there, and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy

Monday Night Football Ratings Are Up
...Not only have fans not stopped going to games, but they're watching on TV more than they did last year. Despite Trump's claim that TV ratings are down, the overall figures for the past two weeks say the opposite. Week 3 ratings were up 3% across all games from 2016, including a spike of 63% in the rating for Monday Night Football, the league announced last week. Overall, viewership for Monday Night Football is averaging 11.9 million through the first four weeks, a 5% increase from last year.
