And another day of “peaches” and...wait, WTF?...comes to a close:

“It’s a temper tantrum by the President. I’m a mother of five, grandmother of nine. I know a temper tantrum when I see one.” -- Nancy Pelosi

To me the Trump shutdown looks more like a hostage situation for ransom. It’s all he’s got. If the Democrats give in, then this is how he’ll “negotiate” for the next two years.

Don’t be fooled. There was no emergency during the two years the GOP controlled literally everything, and the shutdown itself actually started while they were still in control. This shutdown does not belong to Democrats. It’s all on Trump and that horrible excuse for a human being Mitch McConnell. Don’t let them gaslight you.

F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia. This began shortly after Trump fires Comey. They were concerned with Trump’s behavior. Everyone should be concerned with Trump’s behavior.

White House Slams NY Times Report On FBI Concern That Trump Acted On Behalf Of Russia.

Government shutdown could hurt federal workers' credit scores. Way to go Republican supporters.

Federal contractors have never gotten back pay for shutdowns. Democrats are trying to fix that. And their good deed won’t be remembered.

Steve King not worried about backlash over racist comments as GOP silent over next steps. Because everyone in the GOP is a racist. But they’ll attack a woman named Rashida Tlaib for saying “motherfucker.” Um, the racism is on display. If you don’t see it then at worst you’re choosing to be a racist, at best you’re choosing to be a racist synthesizer. Both of those mean you’re a horrible person.

Behind the viral # GoFundTheWall fundraiser, a rising conservative star and a shadowy email harvesting operation. Brian Kolfage, a triple-amputee Air Force veteran, has operated fake news websites and fundraisers to build a lucrative email list. Republicans are so gullible.


Ivanka Trump suggested as possible World Bank president with her father set to decide next head. Think about that for a minute. That’s is some serious banana republic bullshit there.

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says she will run for president in 2020.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended embattled Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, whose department has been criticized for its response to last year's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. But he won’t go quietly.

Families of Sandy Hook shooting victims win legal victory in lawsuit against InfoWars and Alex Jones, after judge grants families’ discovery requests, allowing access to InfoWars’ internal marketing and financial documents. God, Alex Jones is a waste of flesh.

Trump says you can call his wall 'peaches' for all he cares. I’d like to call him an inmate.

Trump's border wall land grab makes no sense for conservatives who hate eminent domain. Conservatives showing their hypocrisy once again.

Democrats have said they may sue the president if he invokes his emergency powers and shifts money from projects already approved by Congress to fund the wall. There is no emergency.

Puerto Ricans seethe as Trump considers raiding disaster aid for wall funds.

Texas tent city that holds migrant teens to close.

Thousands of requests by men to bring in child brides to live in the US were approved over the past decade, according to government data obtained by the AP. The data raises questions about whether the immigration system may be enabling forced marriage. This is seriously screwed up.

Texas Republicans turn in landslide vote to keep Muslim-American in leadership role. Lookie there, some good news in Texas politics.

'I have been a terrible husband and father': Pastor who praised Pulse nightclub shooting resigns after admitting to drinking, gambling, hiring prostitutes. No, you’re just a horrible person. Bastard.

2 female rookie police officers have been shot and killed in 2 days.

Fertility rate hits 30-year low as Americans aren't having enough babies to replace themselves, new study shows. When the outlook for the world doesn’t look all that good, probably not a good idea to reproduce. We’re leaving our children a destroyed planet.

The era of easy recycling may be coming to an end.

Researchers find a new calf among the critically endangered killer whales that live in the waters between Washington state and Canada.

“Leadership is a matter of how to be -- not how to do it.” -- Frances Hesselbein

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
