Did DOJ's top law enforcement officer break the law by lying to Congress under oath? Some fear there may appear to be a shell game being played on Capitol Hill.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions met with Russian officials a couple of times, and some may say
does Trump continue to act presidential by refusing to fire his top law enforcement officer who lied under oath?

In a statement, AG Sessions says he "never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign." http://cbsn.ws/2lXiqna

After forty days in office, a new and brighter Donald Trump has emerged who is now relying on teleprompters which he once scorned.

Some say last night's speech was presidential but lacked specifics. Others warn that 40 days could be followed by forty dark nights.

Paranoid President?

Submitted by Admin on

A long-standing pattern of pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. The person with a paranoia will believe others motives are suspect.

The president is now blaming Obama. Why won't he take full responsibility, people?

Empathy Education

Submitted by Admin on

Always Listen, Open Up, Offer Affection, Focus Outward, Withhold Judgement, Offer Help.

Become Interested, Volunteer and Help, Challenge Prejudices, Use Imagination, and Respect.

Do not get discouraged, showing empathy takes repetition to make it a habit.

Avoid "why" questions because this comes across as accusatory.

Others can see through insincerity and your relationship could end.

OSCARS 2017

I've made predictions in the past and have also been wrong many times before, but that has never stopped me. So I will say my peace and although I thought La La Land would win for best picture, I was wrong. I also truly enjoyed Missing numbers, the real stories of black women, Moonlight, and Fences, but my money was on La La Land. But again, I was mistaken and this is probably the reason why I have little money to speak of.

Once again, I was wrong, and Moonlight won after a huge screwup. And tonight's finale mess proved my point because the wrong winner was announced.

If you can't stand the heat...

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Don't persist with a task if the pressure of it is too much for you. The implication being that, if you can't cope, you should leave the work to someone who can.

From one plain speaker to another... We're Wild About Harry now more than ever before.

This is widely reported as being coined by US President Harry S. Truman. That's almost correct, but in fact, Truman was known to have used it at least as early as 1942 - before becoming president. Here's a citation from an Idaho newspaper The Soda Springs Sun, from July that year:

USA vs ALI?

Submitted by Admin on

On this date and back in 1964, the person who called himself the greatest, but actually proved it became a boxing legend.

Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, won his first heavyweight belt by knocking out Sonny Liston.

Over 50 years later, his 44-year-old was coming home from a trip to Jamaica with his mom, the former wife of the late boxing icon when the two were stopped by officials at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
