Stormy Daniels came on 60 Minutes to announce she opened herself up to an extremely low payout of $130,000 days before the 2016 presidential election because she had been threatened and feared for her safety.

The highly anticipated interview with Anderson Cooper exposes information about the threat a few weeks after she agreed to tell the story of her alleged tryst to In Touch Weekly magazine.

Weapons of Mass Distractions

Submitted by ub on

When will Americans wake up and start to reject the deluge of distractions that not only continue but have significantly increased?

Who claims to love the military, but did not serve? Who continues to slam veterans who have? Who said he would hire the best, then fires them? Who boasted about knowing more than the generals, then hired a few and proceed to fire them too? This is not only chaotic, but it is bringing our nation to the brink.

Hyperbole Presidency

Submitted by ub on

The Greeks used hyperbole, also known as exaggerations. The word is related to hyperballen, to throw over or beyond," from hyper- beyond + bole a throwing, a casting, the stroke of a missile, bolt, beam, from a nominative of Ballen "to throw". OK, do you know what it means when folks call it BS?

Do you have a good B.S. detector? You need one in our digital age. Spotting false information rubbish, lies, nonsense or, fake news is essential in this day and age.

Have you noticed a #POTUS pattern being used here? Do you know about the boy who cried wolf?

CraigsFist

Please move all casual-encounters and FWB searches elsewhere, Craigslist is bowing out on personals immediately.

They posted the following on their website.

US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully, we can bring them back someday.

PRC vs USA?

Submitted by ub on

Day 428 - Has the eagle angered the dragon or will a cobra meet a bull in the china shop? Early signs appear that China tanked the Asian Stock Markets. Could this be a recipe for a US vs PRC disastrous trade war?

PRC says it wants no #tradewars, but if their hands are forced, they will not quail nor recoil from it. If the day did come when the US took measures to hurt their interests, the People's Republic of China will definitely take firm, necessary countermeasures to safeguard interests.
