I zink dat vee haff a leek!

Yesterday, top White House officials stood by President Trump’s charge that President Obama tapped his phones during last year’s campaign without providing additional evidence, as lawmakers and former intelligence officials sparred over the allegations.
Let me get this right…..  The White House is accusing the intelligence agencies of releasing classified communications to journalists. The intelligence agencies are accusing the media of conspiring to breach national security. The House intelligence oversight committee is explaining why they don’t oversee. The Democrats are blaming everything on Trump, and the Republicans are blaming everything on everybody else. The FBI is in denial. Julian Assange throws another bomb under the CIA bus, bureaucrats are scrambling, and James Clapper “I know nothing!” is doing Sgt. Schultz.  Got it.


Isn’t this the part of the show when all of the clowns climb out of the little bitty car and run around in circles chasing each other?

North Korea Launches More Missiles

Today Japan moved to the highest possible alert level after North Korea fired four ballistic missiles simultaneously into nearby waters, the latest provocation from Kim Jong Un’s regime.
Three of the missiles fell into Japan’s exclusive economic zone, with one dropping about 350 kilometers west of the nation’s northern Akita prefecture, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga told reporters after a meeting of Japan’s National Security Council. Authorities were still analyzing the type of missile launched, he said.

The launches “clearly show that this is a new level of threat” from North Korea, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told lawmakers in Tokyo. American officials held phone calls afterward with counterparts in Japan and South Korea, which rely on the U.S. for security.


Perhaps it’s time to take these nutjob communists with the nuclear weapons a little more seriously, ya think?

Take him out?

Gutted and Gobsmacked

The Daily Mail reports that the use of “Spice” and other synthetic cannabinoids among the homeless population in Britain is taking a serious toll. In Manchester, “The city has experienced a surge in ambulance call outs after users have fallen victim to the drug’s lethal side effects, with some left keeling over and smashing up their faces.”

Julie Boyle, support worker at youth homeless charity Lifeshare, said the new Spice on the streets had terrifying effects on people. Last Thursday she found a woman collapsed at a tram stop, having taken a drag of what she thought was cannabis but turned out to be Spice. When an ambulance arrived, the paramedic told her they had been called to 26 similar incidents that day alone. Ms Boyle said: “In the city centre there are people who just look like they are frozen, like the walking dead, sat in a catatonic state not moving.  You wouldn’t even know they were alive – it’s like when you press pause on the telly. They don’t know where they are.”


“My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”   Timothy Leary


Thanks, asshole.
