Cooking Up a Better Budget
It appears that Meals on Wheels and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting may survive the new Trump budget plan, although in a new form. Both were originally identified as programs to have federal funding completely eliminated. Due to some creative thinking by leaders in both programs, it looks like they will merge and receive funding for the new …

Please call me by my full new name …
I was just appointed to fill the open position of Democratic Precinct Committeeman in the Township and Precinct of St. Charles 8. I was somewhat surprised since I was still awaiting to be scheduled for an interview for the position when this certificate arrived in the mail. Definitely no extreme vetting, but definitely suitable for extreme framing.
I am not sure how long I will serve in this capacity. It is an electable position, but if anyone would run against me in the next election, I will gladly allow them to run unopposed, although I can’t promise I won’t run a bit of a smear campaign first. I’ve always wanted to. I’m really just helping out until someone else wants to do it. I am honored to serve, and thrilled with having an official title. I see former politicians interviewed on CNN, and have noticed that long after they are no longer in office, they are still referred to by their former title …

Democratic Precinct Committeeman in the Township and Precinct of St. Charles 8 Flanigan?
If this is my title for life, I may want to acronymize it a bit …
DPCITTAPOSC8 Flanigan. Yeah, that’s got a certain ring to it.

Refining the Defining
You’re Fired & Wiretapped!
Today Donald Trump clarified his claim of being “wiretapped” by President Obama by expanding the definition of wiretapping to include Obama watching Trump on The Apprentice.

Senate Dems Raise Trump Cabinet IQ
Donald Trump should be thanking rather than verbally spanking Senate Democrats. Several of Trump’s confirmed Cabinet members actually have lower IQ’s than the empty Cabinet seats they filled. By delaying confirmation of the remaining Trump Cabinet nominees, Senate Democrats may be helping keep the average IQ of Trump’s Cabinet higher than if all seats were filled. Betsy DeVos, the only Cabinet member with an IQ in negative double digits, was available for comment, but unable to utter an intelligible sentence.

Don’t Tread On Me
Don’t Fence Me In, But Do Wall Him In
After an intruder breached the White House fence overnight, Donald Trump has promised that Mexico will pay for a wall around the White House. I think Mexico (and the rest of the world) might actually agree to pay for it if the wall makes the White House as difficult to get out of as into.
CO2? Pruitt Doesn’t.
Head of the EPA Scott Pruitt weighed in yesterday on whether CO2 emissions are causing global warming, “I would not agree that it’s (CO2) a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.” This is contrary to the EPA website that declares, “Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas that is contributing to recent climate change.”
Pruitt shared additional thoughts on CO2. “This so-called ‘invisible’ gas is supposed to be accelerating climate change? How can a gas we can’t even see cause that? How can we even be sure that such an alleged gas that we cannot see and cannot smell even exists?”
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos responded by issuing a statement that she planned to do or say something really stupid to quickly regain the mantle of dumbest Trump Cabinet member. Although Pruitt really threw down the gauntlet with his CO2 position, we have complete confidence in Betsy.

Nice to see the AMA (American Medical Association) come out strongly against the Republican-backed AHCA bill as a replacement for the ACA.

Tongue-Tied Tillerson
Rex Tillerson has been very quiet since being sworn in as Secretary of State. Sure, he gave an initial speech to State Department employees before getting rid of all of them. Since then, he’s been very, very quiet. There have been photo ops with Tillerson meeting and shaking hands with foreign visitors and dignitaries, but no Q & A. There have been no Rex Tillerson press conferences. And now we know why …

North Korea Situation Going South
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley made these comments regarding the escalating tensions between the USA and North Korea.
“I appreciate all my counterparts wanting to talk about talks and negotiations (but) we are not dealing with a rational person.”
“This is not a rational person, who has not had rational acts, who is not thinking clearly.”
I appreciate Haley’s incisive analysis, but I have to ask the question …
Is she talking about Kim Jong Un or Donald Trump?
Perfect Match!
