President's phone is picked up by Intelligence Service

OF COURSE, TRUMP WALKS ON WATER, but our Navy is a “Disaster.” Anything that comes from Trump or his administration belongs in Sunday Newspapers, in Color, somewhere below, LULU.

The U.S. intelligence community that Trump despises and ridicules, showed communications from him and members of his transition team These were incidentally collected as part of a broader, overall  surveillance effort.  According to Devin Nunes who told reporters the collection appeared to be "normal" and "all legally collected foreign intelligence under" FISA, there was no security breeched, saying,"I believe it was all done legally. I think it was all obtained legally. The question is was it masked.”

In fairness, I will point out, the collections were NOT related to investigations into Russia and its alleged connections to the Trump campaign. But, the problem is greater than whether or not information was leaked through these sources or from the president.

The broader picture is the security of his communiques. We know about his tweets. They’re on Twitter everyday (and night and early mornings). But, this is information coming from OUR intelligence. Can FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE (In spite of what Trump says, there are smart people in other countries. Smarter than he is), other countries, be listening to Trump’s personal calls and texts, outside of Twitter?  Shouldn’t someone take the toy away from him. 


Sean Spicer called Nunes' claims a "startling revelation" and lambasted what he saw as the media's "presumptive" tone of negativity toward the administration on the issue. He doesn’t believe this information is pertinent or importrant. It’s not important that Putin or Kim can be listening in to the so-called president.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
