HuffPOOPOO headline: "Hillary Clinton reportedly met with former campaign aides, consultants to find out where they went wrong" -- Hmmm... besides getting roasted in the 30 states she basically avoided in reaching out, let me cite Elizabeth Barrett Brown,, "let ME count the ways".

Online story: "The father of an American soldier killed in Iraq who came under criticism last year from then-candidate Donald Trump said he has canceled a speaking engagement in Toronto after being notified that his U.S. travel privileges were under review. * Khizr Khan had planned to speak at a luncheon in Toronto on Tuesday in a discussion about President Trump's administration *  The organization said on its Facebook page on Monday that Khan, a U.S. citizen for over 30 years, was notified Sunday evening that his travel privileges were being reviewed. *  It was unclear who called for the review or the grounds for it. * U.S. Customs & Border Protection said it does not contact travelers in advance of their travel out of the United States, according to an official who said any U.S. citizen with a passport may travel out of the country. * "Mr. Khan will not be traveling to Toronto on March 7th to speak about tolerance, understanding, unity and the rule of law," said Ramsay Talks, which announced guests would be refunded the ticket price of $89." -- The CBP "said it does not contact travelers in advance of their travel out of the United States," .. "any U.S. citizen with a passport may travel out of the country" .. What this sounds like to me is not enough Canadians bought advanced tickets to his speech, and Khan is trying to blame Trump.. sour grapes.

Trump's revelation about wire tapping his phones has pretty much validated all those claims from previously laughed-off claims from those who knew they were being spied on.

---
One thing mainscream media will try to portray about Trump's claims is they aren't plausible, thus not possible.We don't have to look any further than how the IRS singled out conservative organizations to "screen and hold up" their non-profit applications for excessive ..and unwarranted... amounts of time, or the tap on Fox's James Rosen, or taps on ABC reporters when Obama was trying to "out" a White House "leak" to ABC.

---
You know...at this point, Trump has no benefits in making an unwarranted charge about his being politically spied on. This is just bring to light how dirty Washington politics will go to retain power and status quo for old time politics.

---
Of course Obama's circle of appointees were listening in on Trump...WiKileaks pointed out 14 different "episodes" of Obama inspired privacy invasions...including tapping into conversations involving Angela Merkel and Italian and French officials..and what about James Rosen at Fox, or the ABC offices when Obama was tracking down an administrative 'leak'. Trump's smart enough to bring it to a Congressional as well as media investigative level. Time will confirm

---
Even Fox has swallowed the mainscream media "pill" of half-truths.. Again, Trump's Executive Order is not...repeat, IS NOT, a "travel ban" on named countries.. It is a temporary "Entry Ban" into America until said countries can, and are willing to provide credible information on its citizens that seek access to our country.

L-E headline: "How changes to bankruptcy code could affect your student loans" -- Liberalism "sounds" compassionate.. but all it really does is breed laziness and irresponsibility.. and devalues the work ... and savings.. of responsible people. The prices of your next car, and  your next home reflect  the costs of losses financial and manufacturing companies absorbed from bankruptcies.

Online headline: 'US Soccer says players must stand for national anthem"  -- Wow! What a difference having a patriot as our president! You know.. if you are going to represent the US in any endeavor, especially one wearing the uniform provided by our taxpayers, respecting the our country IS mandatory!

---
Online headline/story: "Outgoing French President Hollande says 'ultimate duty' is to prevent Le Pen victory *  "My ultimate duty is to make sure that France is not won over by such a program, and that France does not bear such a heavy responsibility," -- Good grief.. if Hollande had ACCEPTED his "ultimate duty".. to lead France in a manner that brought prosperity and honor to France's people, Hollande's "legacy" would be that the people of France wanted more of the same. Now we understand why Obama wanted to model his government after France's. Our people spoke! France's people WILL speak!

New Breakfast Club name for the Senate Minority Leader.. UpChuck SChtupor..

Random thought: "Why does the state of GA allow local option sales taxes on products that the state has determined state sales taxes are not to be charged?  Take groceries as a good example.. check your receipt after you go shopping.. you'll see a recap of purchases charged 8% and 4%.. The 8% items are fully taxed by the state and local sales taxes, but.. when you look at the 4% group, the state has removed those from the taxable list, but the city still fully taxes them. The City of Columbus should not be able to collect taxes  on products the state Legislators and Governor have designated as untaxable.

---
Almost informed L-E "soundoff": "Take a calculator and change with you when shopping in Columbus. Multiply non-food items by 1.07 and food by 1.04 to get amount actually owed, put it on the counter, and walk out." -- Well, how about trying 1.08 instead of 1.07...

L-E "headLIE": "Trump’s revised travel ban excludes Iraqis" -- How many times will it take before mainscream media gets it right? It is not a "travel ban".. it's a temporary  "entry into America ban".
