Headlines and News
Straight From His Orangeness
- Putin reportedly asked whether Trump would be interested in extending the 2010 New START Treaty, which sets limits for the size of standing strategic nuclear weapons forces. Trump then paused the call to ask his aides what START was, according to Reuters. Trump reportedly denounced a treaty that caps U.S. and Russian deployment of nuclear warheads as a bad deal for the United States, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official with knowledge of the call.
- "Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in - bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero Ryan died on a winning mission ( according to General Mattis), not a "failure." Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!" Senator John McCain reacted to the raid saying, "When you lose a $75 million airplane and, more importantly, an American life is lost, I don't believe you can call it a success."
Ethics or not?
- Today, Kellyanne Conway (adviser to President Trump) told the public to "buy Ivanka's stuff" on live television. Now, many are claiming it's a violation of federal ethics rules.

Make America Great Again
Fake News
- Three times in one week, White House press secretary Sean Spicer alluded to a terror attack in Atlanta that never happened. Later the explanation was he really meant Orlando! So I wonder is Sean geographically challenged, can't be bothered to check facts, is confused about Florda and Georga, doesn't have a clue, or what? But hey, Donnie has 'all the best people'!
- Once again, Trump is lying to the American people about jobs "he" brought back. But in reality, the Fab 42 factory in Arizona was originally announced in 2011 and has been a dormant project since 2014. Intel, knowing they could extract some tax breaks from Trump in exchange for doing what they were already planning to do, is playing Trump for a fool.
