Who's Leaking Now

Submitted by ub on

A leak involves the release of something behind-some-on-e's-back as in leaking sensitive government information. There has been plenty of speculation about the leaks coming out of The White House. The Chief of Staff was accused, then it was thought The Special Advisor, but since they are both gone, along with The Press Secretary and others... Flynn, Dubke, Shaub, Corallo, Spicer, Priebus, Scaramucci, Bannon, Gorka and the hits just keep on going as the list of departed staffers from Trump's White House keeps growing longer.

Horrendous Harvey

This massive storm is testing the spirits of folks deep in the heart of Texas. As deaths continue to increase as a result of Harvey, this once a century storm has dumped more rain in a widespread part of southeast Texas which has so far received double digits of rain, with some locations passing 25 inches.

And why is the destruction of the past being repeated as the flood threat from #Harvey is now spreading into Louisiana? Roads have become rivers in #Houston and surrounding areas. At least 30 inches of rain so far and thousands of rescue calls to officials.

GOP Fight

Submitted by ub on

The Grand Old Party, also known as The GOP, is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, the other being its historic rival, the Democratic Party.

I once worked for Republican President George HW Bush, even though I am an NPA, with no political affiliation.
However, is it slowly becoming increasingly apparent to many Americans that The GOP may have elected their worst nightmare, as their so-called political leader continues attacking Republicans?
