Good morning from a barely above freezing ATL. The sun is shining (finally) and I got paid. And it's Friday to boot.

So, you might think that there would be hosannahs from some quarter, at least, for Trump's appointment of Richard Grenell, former ambassador to Germany, to his new acting-appointment as national-security advisor, the first "openly-gay" person to achieve such a high appointment?  

Guess again.  There's been no mention of his sexual preference in the MSM discussion of the appointment, but NPR was breathlessly quoting the NYT and the Washington Post this morning about how "the Russians are interfering in the election again, to re-elect Donald Trump," and tying his appointment of Grenell to that alleged Russian effort.  They even had a "former acting national-security advisor" from the Obama administration on to claim "Russian interference in the election" and to say that "Grenell was not qualified."

Okay who fired up the time machine?

Intel officials say Russia boosting Trump candidacy

Is it 2016? Of course foreign powers are using social media to "influence" the election. I'll be Maduro has bots boosting Bernie.

The Deep State is persistent that is for certain.

You know, I would really like to see someone actually hold the fire under the feet and ask for, you know, evidence of these claims. But of course the media has no interest in doing that. 

Morning, campers. Very cold here so I couldn't get into work until just now, but the sun is shining and that helps so much.

California Governor Gavin Nuisance Newsom proposes that doctors be able to "prescribe housing" as if it were medication, in order to cure homelessness.   (Hat tip: Insty)

And then magical unicorns will wish these houses into existence, I think.


The Democratic Party is unsalvageable.   They have simply gone raving mad.
