WaPo's Crap Hit-Piece on 'Highly Classified' Intel is Fake News

It's trending at Memeorandum, "Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador."

Laura Ingraham's calling bull:

WH source with direct knowledge just told me @washingtonpost didn't talk to ANY U.S. official at mtg w/ Lavrov. "It's Fake News"

— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) May 15, 2017

I read the piece. All sources are commenting on background. You can't corroborate the details, and as you can see, the White House is denying.

A very similar forecast to Jennifer Delacruz's for the metropolitan San Diego area.

It's going to be foggy and drizzly, and some part of the O.C. coast will be in the low 60s.

Our System of Checks and Balances is Under Assault' (VIDEO)

It's James Crapper, er, Clapper, from CNN yesterday.

And no, our system's not under assault --- not by President Trump at least. If there's an assault going on, it's seen in the left's war on our legitimately-elected government. It's seen in the left's revolutionary all-out war on our republic.

Watch, FWIW:

The Frightful Five

This is pretty good, from Farhad Manjoo, at NYT.

The "frightful five" are Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google. Which ones could you do without, from the easiest to the toughest? I'd ditch Facebook with no problems, lol. After that, though, it's not so easy to ditch any of these. We're not just talking about ditching one product, but the entire company. I like Microsoft Word, and at work I like Microsoft Outlook for email. And I'm on Apple all the time, since I have an iPhone, which I love. Amazon's mostly for books and stuff, but Google's my bread and butter. I blog on Google, email with gmail.com, and of course search Google exclusively. It'd be hard to give up. So, you get the picture. Manjoo would be bummed to bail out on Amazon, because he uses it for everything and has been since it first went online, which is interesting.

Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google dominate our lives. What would happen if we had to give them up? https://t.co/Q5jJX0h9y7

MOTHERHOOD IN 'AMERICA'
Motherhood is an ideal they hold so high, so dear... it's more than an aspiration; it's a manifest destiny...

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

MOTHERS IN 'AMERICA'
as complete human beings expressed in all their complexities?... what do you mean mothers are people?!?

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

AMERICA
LOVES
THE IDEA OF
MOTHERHOOD
it hates,
nay,
it despises
MOTHERS
to the point of
denying our personhood
and our humanity

— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

MOTHERS
shouldn't be paid for their mothering
MOTHERS
shouldn't get all the health care they need
MOTHERS
shouldn't be trusted with choices
