[DCWHISPERS] Ah, another remarkable and far more important bit of news that the Establishment Media is ignoring in favor of 24/7 anti-Trump bashing.
Remington Christopher Steele, the primary author of the infamous "Trump Dossier" which was used as justification by the Obama White House to initiate illegal surveillance on the Trump campaign and which has direct ties to high-ranking officials from both political parties (including, but not limited to, the Obama White House) and the Deep State, has just been referred to the Department of Justice for a potential criminal violation:
[WAPO] A pair of GOP senators sent a letter to the Justice Department on Friday urging an investigation into Christopher Steele, the intelligence agent behind that famous dossier from the Russia investigation.
And the whole thing is rather strange.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) sent the letter to the DOJ and FBI. In it, the pair says they have reason to believe Steele might have lied about disseminating information from the dossier.
But while they make the allegation publicly in the letter, the details of Steele's potential lying are contained within an attached document marked classified. In other words, they are suggesting Steele may have lied, but don't say what he might have lied about.
And indeed, it would be impossible for them to do so, given their accusation is apparently based upon his interviews with the FBI, which were recently shared with the Judiciary Committee and aren't public. But the point here is that they made the allegation of Steele's lying public.
As Devlin Barrett and Tom Hamburger note in their piece, that rubs some legal experts the wrong way. One former federal prosecutor, Peter Zeidenberg, called it "nonsense." He suggested it was a political effort intended to impact the Russia investigation ‐ in which Steele's dossier has become the focus of GOP allegations of improper conduct by federal law enforcement ‐ rather than a serious letter. He said that he had never heard of such a letter being released.

Well the climate is SUPPOSED to change, you know, winter to spring to summer to fall to winter...we have hot weather and we have cold weather and sometimes its hotter and some times its colder.
This global warming gig is a huge scam cooked up by the environazis to control everyone...then Al Gore identified that global warming could be a huge cash machine and the greatest scam of all time...you know democrats, they've never seen a scam they didn't like. The ozone layer, unleaded gas, and now global warming...

[BREITBART] ESPN host Jemele Hill says she is not sorry for the content of a tweet, in which she called President Trump a “white supremacist.” Instead, her only regret is that she used social media as her platform to do it. What's that have to do with sports?
Hill, the host of the network’s popular SportsCenter, has continued to spout her political views despite finger waging from ESPN bosses. She has even continued her commentary after the entire company was brought together for a mandatory meeting to go over the company’s ban on overtly political comments on social media. Indeed, she is even unrepentant despite having served a two-week suspension for breaking the company’s social media policy.
Hill first sparked controversy when she jumped to Twitter last year to call President Donald Trump a “white supremacist.” Hill was scolded but not punished by ESPN for that violation, but after a second violation only a few weeks later, network bosses handed Hill a two-week suspension.
This month, Hill appeared on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast and told host Richard Deitsch that she doesn’t regret her comments in the least. She only regrets that she made her comments on Twitter.

If you pay for a cable or sat TV bundle, you are paying her salary whether you watch her or not. I'm concerned that my cable ISP was all too relaxed about selling me internet without a TV bundle. I suspect that's because they are subsidizing the shrinking number of TV bundle subscribers by skinning me back.

"Today in black sports"
Pretty much redundant now, isn't it?
[PRESSTV] The author of a very critical book about Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's first year in office has said that "one hundred percent" of those around the US president consider him "moron, idiot."
Michael Wolff, whose book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" went on sale on Friday, said in an interview he spent three hours with Trump during the presidential campaign and in the White House.
The author contradicted Trump's assertion that he had never talked to the writer for the book and had authorized "Zero access" to the White House.
Wolff told NBC News on Friday that for the book he conducted interviews with those in close contact with Trump and his entire circle questioned his fitness for office. The book depicts a president who was ill-prepared to win the office in 2016, and Trump aides who ridiculed his abilities.
"They all say he is like a child. And what they mean by that is he has a need for immediate gratification. It's all about him," he said.
"Let me put a marker in the sand here. One hundred percent of the people around him" question Trump's fitness for office, Wolff added.
[BusinessInsider] The author of the explosive new book about Donald Trump's presidency acknowledged in an author's note that he wasn't certain all of its content was true.
Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," included a note at the start that casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages.
Several of his sources, he says, were definitely lying to him, while some offered accounts that flatly contradicted those of others.
In other cases, the media columnist said, he did use his journalistic judgment and research to arrive at what he describes "a version of events I believe to be true."
But some were nonetheless included in the vivid account of the West Wing's workings, in a process Wolff describes as "allowing the reader to judge" whether the sources' claims are true.
In other cases, the media columnist said, he did use his journalistic judgment and research to arrive at what he describes "a version of events I believe to be true."
Other people mentioned in the book have also disputed claims made about them.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who the book said warned Trump that he may be under surveillance from British spies, issued a statement describing the claim as "categorically absurd" and "simply untrue."
Anna Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor, also dismissed the claim that she lobbied Trump to be his ambassador to the UK as "laughably preposterous."
Other journalists have also urged caution. Some cited Wolff's track record ‐ questions were raised about his 2008 book on Rupert Murdoch ‐ and others compared his claims with their own knowledge of the Trump White House.

In other words, the book is fiction that describes imaginary events. a.k.a. fake biography.

“The campaign, on its face, was not designed to win anything.”
― Michael Wolff, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House
Then we must be left with a 'design' of the rubes voting for anyone but the Hildebeest? Seems a reasonable and obviously obtainable strategy, one which Wolff appears to default to.
We're a quarter of the way through the first Trump term, and frankly I'm happy with the rube design thus far.

Well if they howl at the sky, wear p***y hats, rant 24 hours a day on numerous cable channels, there's money to be made in exploiting their insanity. Give an audience what they want and take the money to the bank.

" I would rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the Boston phone book than by the 2000 members of the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley.
According to this book apparently we are close to something like that. A totally unprepared dolt is doing far better as President his first year than the last two Presidents, and that's with massive difficulties caused by a mutinous bureaucracy.

Funny, CBS News last night went on and on and on about this book as if it was the Gospel but they never mentioned Wolff's little note.

As the blogger Patterico (who I won't read much anymore - he's got full blown Trump Derangement Syndrome) coined it - 'Clown nose on, clown nose off'.
[DailyCaller] Liberals fell for a parody excerpt of Michael Wolff’s "Fire and Fury" book that claimed Trump was angry he couldn’t find "The Gorilla Channel" on the White House cable package.
Pixelated Boat, a comedy Twitter account with over 100k followers, wrote a hilarious parody of Wolff’s book on Friday. The fake passage said Trump thought the TV in his bedroom was broken because it didn’t have "the gorilla channel," so aides strung together a number of gorilla documentaries and broadcast it as a fake cable channel for the president. Hit the link for hilarity.

That is actually a better story than the one about Trump hiring Rooski hookers to pee in a hotel bed that Obama slept in.

Some people will believe anything. New York is flooded by rising water from the Sea and right now I am going outside to fry an egg on the sidewalk.
And Trump took the Oath of Office wearing a Gorilla Suit. Oh and the American People didn't vote for Donald Trump , the Russians held a gun to our heads and Ordered us to do it.
The MSM can be trusted to tell you to believe you can trust their biases and BS. Say, Bahhhh. Obama was the greatest President that the USA ever had, and Hillary is the breath of Honesty and not a greedy corrupt bitch. I read it in the NYT. and the Washington Post.
The entire American People are demented racists and totally deranged. You believe that? Gee, I wish I went to College and learned to think for myself. Liberals are impressive, they live in Hollywood and gather in New York ..and enjoy money and success. I think I will invite the Snowflakes to watch me boil that egg on the sidewalk right now.
