Today is #NationalHugANewsPersonDay. I chose...

CNNI's Arwa Damon who was recently in the Antarctica on an assignment after years of riveting coverage of the war zones in the Middle East and beyond. I bet she needed that change of climate. 
You go girl.


I also chose Will Ripley at CNNI for his outstanding reporting on North Korea.  A gentleman journalist.

Thank you.

Trump isn't a criminal target in the Mueller investigation — yet
..."In private negotiations in early March about a possible presidential interview, Mueller described Trump as a subject of his investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Prosecutors view someone as a subject when that person has engaged in conduct that is under investigation but there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges.
"The special counsel also told Trump's lawyers that he is preparing a report about the president's actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice, according to two people with knowledge of the conversations.


*Me praying on knees*  Please hurry Mr. Mueller!

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

Vladimir Putin could soon be coming to America. During their phone call last month — the one where Trump wasn't supposed to congratulate Putin — not only did Trump congratulate him, he invited his KG-BFF to a summit at the White House. It’s about time he invited the boss over for dinner.
So, this will be a nice opportunity for Putin to stop by and install a few new Nest cameras in the White House. - Jimmy Kimmel


Trump To Send National Guard To The Border
President Trump will soon sign an order to deploy National Guard troops to the United States' southern border, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced Wednesday. 







According to the Financial Times, the Russian businessman who secretly met with a Trump campaign official in January 2017 has been tied directly to Vladimir Putin. Hey, Robert Mueller, how much more evidence do you need? I'm starting to feel like a little kid screaming at “Dora the Explorer” that the windmill she's looking for is right behind her. "Turn around!"- Seth Myers

Trump Escalates Trade War
The Trump administration has raised the stakes in a growing trade showdown with China by placing 25% tariffs on some 1,300 industrial technology, transport and medical products to try to force changes in Beijing’s intellectual property practices. 



The president officially declared the month of April to be National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. At this point he's just messing with us, right? He might as well declare it National Bankrupt Casino Awareness Month.- Jimmy Kimmel

Fired FBI Director, James Comey Writes A Book

Lordy, Tickets to James Comey's Book Tour Are Going for $850
James Comey's upcoming book, for which he received a $2 million advance, achieved best-seller status a month before its release. If that wasn't a clear enough indication that people are eager to hear what the former FBI director has to say, then this surely is: Tickets for his book tour are going for as much ...

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

New documents show that former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates communicated with a former Russian spy before the election, who "has ties to a Russian intelligence service and had such ties in 2016." And I'm guessing this spy is still on Putin's good side because, as of show time, no one had served him a nerve gas burrito.- Stephen Colbert



Trump Slaps Russian Sanctions In The Face
President Donald Trump has formally invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to a meeting at the White House, despite the continued furor over Russia’s alleged poisoning of an ex-Russian spy in the United Kingdom.









When Trump said neither he nor anyone in his campaign had anything to do with Russians, it must have slipped his mind that his campaign manager and his deputy campaign manager were in communication with a Russian intelligence agent. I guess it’s just another mulligan. - Rob Reiner

Newspeak Has Arrived At Sinclair Broadcasting
Sinclair Broadcast Group's corporate mandates are exacerbating tensions between the company's local stations and its management.
Journalists in local US markets are chafing at the company's requirements, including a new promotional campaign that echoes President Donald Trump's anti-media rhetoric.
The promos, first reported by CNNMoney last month, went viral over the weekend after Deadspin edited dozens of them together to show how anchors across the country were told to read the same script.

Subject: Media

Hi Lisa.
Thoughts -- Trump was the manipulator of the media in NYC for decades. Not anymore. Since he can't control the media he calls whatever he wants FAKE NEWS! Even my fav news station CNN, has these right wing *ss kissers on. IMHO Trump is setting up the public to not believe the Mueller investigation.  Trump's base already believes anything he dribbles from his mouth. Comey is coming out with a book. What?
I live in NYC and watched this idiot for decades. He's unpredictable!!! And crazy!!!
Thank you for the humor relief. It helps a lot. Happy Easter!!!
Meg 

Thanks for writing.

I believe that reporters and the FBI, all law enforcement for that matter, have much in common. Both search for the facts of a case. It sickens me how both professions have been besmirched.  But facts are facts and even Comey realized that he had nothing on Hillary, so what did he do? He interfered in the 2016 election, not once, but twice. That had never been done before. IMHO Comey hurt the reputation of the FBI with that act. And now he's coming out with a book? Ay yi yi.

I often wonder what Robert Mueller thought of what Comey did during the election.

I agree, Meg, CNN needs to raise the bar on hiring right wing analysts, if that is even possible.

Keep the faith. Mueller has already begun kicking the money changers (launderers) out of the White House.
