Trump is dismantling the government


Trump bans government scientists from sharing their work with the taxpayers who funded it
Donald Trump wants to be known as the president who tweets, but his administration is prohibiting government researchers from sharing their findings with the Americans who pay for their work.
The president signed executive orders Tuesday that cut off all new contracts and grants for the Environmental Protection Agency — and he also banned the agency’s employees from providing updates on social media or to journalists...

CNN Throws Facts At Trump, They Bounce And End Up Somewhere In The Stratosphere

CNN late Wednesday fired back late Tuesday at President Trump, who said more people tuned in to watch his inauguration on Fox News than "FAKE NEWS" CNN.

“According to Nielsen cumulative numbers, 34 million people watched CNN’s inauguration day coverage on television. 34 million watched Fox News,” read the message tweeted from CNN Communications. “There were an additional 16.9 million live video starts on CNN Digital platforms. Those are the facts.”

Mea culpa mi amigos. Wow, I mixed two languages.

Around 6 am this morning I got a Facebook message from a friend asking if I wanted a ride to Santa Cruz and Nicoya. I was on that like white on rice.

I returned about 4pm exhausted but in a good way with my favorite groceries in tow.

Soooo, I will post a new edition tomorrow.

Thank you for visiting and thank you for your patience.

The Magnetometer

Secret Service slaps down White House claim that ‘magnetometers’ shrank inaugural crowd size
At  a testy Saturday evening press conference, newly minted White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer offered a pair of novel defenses for the apparent small size of the crowds attending the inauguration of Pres. Donald Trump.



I hope no magnetometers were harmed at the inauguration.

Trump Continues Disconnect From The CIA
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump paid a visit to the headquarters of the CIA and delivered an address where he spent quite a bit of time railing against the media and talking about his crowd sizes. The speech was criticized by many as being tone-deaf, specifically due to Trump making the speech largely about himself while standing in front of the agency’s memorial wall.

From Russia With Love

The Trump Presidency Begins Under the Pall of Russian Intrigues
Even as Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office, U.S. intelligence agencies are reportedly investigating the several of his associates as part of a broader probe into the Russian government’s interference in the presidential election and potential links between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.


I find it plausible that Melania is a deep cover KGB agent. She is the first communist bred First Lady of the United States of America after all. Plus on Netflix I watched every episode of "The Americans."

Republican Senator Wants To Know What's Up With The FBI and Russia
The night before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, the New York Times dropped a bombshell: intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been examining intercepted communications and financial transactions in an investigation of possible contacts between Trump associates and Russian officials. This report seemed to confirm previous indications that the US government has collected sensitive intelligence about interactions between Trump insiders and Russians. And hours before the inauguration, I ran into Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who has been one of the few Republicans to call for a special investigation of the Russian hacking that helped Trump, and I asked him about this latest development.
