An Arctic air sweep will continue to spill onto the Plains and expand into the eastern U.S. this week. Much more than below normal temperatures and biting wind chills can be expected over many locations.

#US storms that formed with Arctic air has led to bone-chilling temperatures, heavy snow blanketing the nation from coast to coast.

Es un Domingo Miguel Cohen para el presidente Donald Trump, ya que comenzó la mañana atacando a su ex abogado.

Recién después de un largo día y su largisimo discurso en la Conferencia de Acción Política Conservadora. El Comandante en Tweet continuó con los ataques de Cohen que comenzaron anoche.

Sin duda, esto se debe a los noticieros del domingo por la mañana, que se han centrado incansablemente en el testimonio de Cohen la semana pasada ante el Comité de Supervisión de la Cámara de Representantes.

We can't see the forest for the trees is an expression used when details of a problem are overlooked. The Republican-controlled Congress has been too involved in the wording of bills that they couldn't see the forest for the trees.

By focusing on what is officially defined as illegal or criminal, while a more serious threat to democracy is left out. This threat is caused by predatory practices considered to be skirting the letter of the law, but have multiple adverse social consequences.

Where Is That Love?

Following an abrupt end to his love summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, POTUS suddenly thinks its time to walk away from his self proclaimed romance.

#USA deterrence of North Korea is now in a Trump imposed downward spiral. The economic sanctions are beginning to fray. Japan may be losing confidence. South Korea’s Moon sees America as headed to the door. Kim keeps producing missiles with more nukes. Meanwhile, an annual Foal Eagle and Key Resolve USA-South Korean military exercises are not happening. What the hell is the Republican-controlled US Senate doing about it?

Retribution?

Retribution is an act or punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act. A punishment, penalty, nemesis, fate, doom, one's just deserts, due reward, just reward, wages.

Trump accuses others of plotting treason, but who is the real offender of treason against #USA?

UNITY Seriously?

Submitted by ub on

POTUS is expected to call for unity in his attempt at reset after two years of partisanship deep divide and personal attacks. #SOTU will come with a large serving of partisan divide which could lead to another government shutdown or to an emergency declaration over the #Mexico border, but what about the #Canada northern border? Politically wounded from his federal shutdown, #Trump may face an uphill battle with his agenda.

Will Americans, or the rest of the world buy this White House attempt at turning a new leaf? We’ll have to wait and see, Mr. T.

Fantasy vs Facts

President Trump doesn't have the best record on telling the truth, and dismissing our intelligence community endangers all of US.

CSPAN: "Did you talk to your intelligence chiefs today about the displeasure you had with their…"

POTUS: "I did. They said that they were totally misquoted, and they were totally – it was taken out of context…The said it was fake news."

Journalism Now More Than Ever

Submitted by ub on

We The People may no longer be able to count on equal justice for all. Congress is not doing its job, and our system of checks and balances is slowly disappearing, so the news media must help sort out this mess.

Journalists give comfort to those afflicted by Fatcats who hide from the truth and it is up to the free press to expose any abuse.
