Online headline/story: "White House denies Pentagon was 'blindsided' by Syria withdrawal * A senior administration official held a call with reporters on Monday evening to explain Trump’s rationale. The official, who the White House asked to have remain anonymous, dismissed a Fox News report that the Pentagon was “blindsided” by the pullout. * that was discussed among senior leadership here at the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon,” the official said when asked about it on the call. “I don’t know how anyone could have been blindsided.” * The official emphasized that the U.S. is not backing Turkey’s operation. According to the official, Trump wanted American troops out of the “crossfire.” -- You know, when we read about a journalist having a B.A. Degree, they must mean a "Benedict Arnold" degree..

It's pretty much an entrenched pattern, now... that the MSM-13, and more recently Fox News, will seek out and/or publish without vetting, information from anonymous/unnamed negative White House "sources", but rarely.. or ever.. seek out unnamed POSITIVE White House "sources".

---
Now here's another from the "pattern" department - Online headline/story: "Minnesota Rep. Omar files for divorce * U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar has filed for divorce from her husband, citing an "irretrievable breakdown" of her marriage. * The freshman Democrat filed for divorce from Ahmed Hirsi on Friday in Minnesota's Hennepin County District Court. Omar and Hirsi have been legally married since 2018 but have been together for years." -- Hmmm... don't you know Queen PeLOUSY wishes Omar would file for a divorce from her as well! Let's face it, Omar and America have had a bigger "irretrievable breakdown" than she and her husband.

Online headline: "'South Park' has reportedly been banned in China after its most recent episode criticized censorship in the country" -- "criticized" censorship..... Hmmm... I guess we see the correlation of the ideology of Communism and the DemocRAT-Socialism are in lock-step...

Yesterday acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan was shouted off the stage as "Keynote Speaker" at Georgetown University Law Center during an annual immigration law and policy conference held by the nonprofit immigration think tank Migration Policy Institute. He was expected to take questions from the audience, made up mostly of immigration policy experts, lawyers and advocates.. a handful of protesters made up of law school students and activists stood up and held large black banners, one read “Hate is Not Normal,' -- Hmm.. "hate is not normal". I agree, but it seems that "HATE" has become "NORMAL" for the LEFT.

Online headline: "Jeff Daniels to star as former FBI director James Comey in CBS studios' 4-hour limited series" -- Hmmm.. hey, Atty General Barr.. how about wrapping up the rial of James Comey so the CBS version will have "reality" as an alternative ending..

From the "professional sports hat trick" department - Online headline story: "NBA condemned for yielding to China over Rockets GM's tweet * The league released a statement ceding that Morey’s tweet — which included a graphic reading "Fight For Freedom. Stand With Hong Kong." — had “deeply offended” the league’s Chinese fans and did not represent the views of the Rockets or NBA." -- Well.. we've been waiting for the other "Nike" to drop.. and this is it...The NFL dissed American soldiers, our flag, and law enforcement officers, then MLB dissed fan participation by allowing Braves' fan criticized for their traditional "Tomahawk Chop", and now the NBA just sided with China by denying the Rockets coach Free Speech.. We might be seeing the end of ESPN.

Online headline/story: "Braves will 'evaluate' tomahawk chop after Cardinals pitcher calls it 'insulting' * Ryan Helsley told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he thinks the chant is insulting, and the 25-year-old rookie was disappointed when it was heard during Game 1 of the NL Division Series against Atlanta." -- I'm afraid this l'il Redbird is going to be recipient of a "flock or BIRDs" whenever he plays in Atlanta for the rest of his career..especially on nights with beer specials!

Do you wonder if St Louis' Anheuser-Busch will pull its beer out of the Braves' stadium this Wednesday for game 5 ?.... me neither...

Talk about "style over substance".... The GM strike by the UAW is such a farce...when GM was bailed out, the UAW was given a major amount of GM stock and a seat on the Board of Directors. In effect, the UAW is shutting itself down.

Thank heavens we have President Trump "vetting" the DemocRATs seeking their Party's nomination...we know the DemocRATs will not do it properly for voters to see. Just remember, the DemocRATs did not have a certified birth certificate for Obama verifying his compliance with US Constitutional requirements on file during their primary season nor on file with the FEC. It wasn't until AFTER his election that one was drummed up.

---
You know, if your job in the government is to look for dirt on a sitting president, you are not a whistleblower...you're a spy, you're a plant, you are treasonous.

---
While I agree that a sincere whistleblower's rights should be protected, I also think that the President, any US president, should have his rights protected for innuendo, and undocumented accusations that distract him from his job we elected him to do. Whistleblowers' stories should be VETTED by MSM-13 as well.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Columbus police now receiving help responding to 911 calls. Here’s how it’ll work. * The effort started on Sept. 30 to help ease the volume of 911 calls coming in, according to Major Joe McCrea of the sheriff’s office. Currently, units from the sheriff’s office will help respond to calls all day, every day in the “A” sector in the north end of Columbus. * “Bottom line is that we’re short on officers right now,” Henderson said. “The sheriff’s office stepped up to make sure that there are no gaps in coverage and we’re fortunate to have two departments work so well together." -- Nice to see Council utilizing tax paid assets in addressing an ongoing problem.. but hope they don't forget is that the shortage is the problem and it's not going away without being addressed.

From the "why is it?" department - Why is it that DemocRATS (and some RINOs) are having rough time with President Trump removing our Military-doing-police-work from harms way, yet vehemently oppose President Trump's efforts to keep harmful people and drugs from crossing our border?
