Ivanka Trump And White House Nepotism - Ivanka Doesn't Represent Working Women

Republican strategist Amanda Carpenter, who once served as Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) communications director said of ivanka: "What's she doing exactly? Nobody knows. What qualifies her? Apparently being the president's daughter. There's a word for this: nepotism," Carpenter wrote. "And it makes everything Ivanka has done up to this point to position herself as an example for working women into a farce. By taking this role, Ivanka is taking away a life-changing opportunity from another woman, who undoubtedly would have more expertise than the first daughter."

"I haven't been in a science class in a long time, but the earth moves closer to the sun every year–you know the rotation of the earth," Wagner said. "We're moving closer to the sun."

He added, "We have more people. You know, humans have warm bodies. So is heat coming off? Things are changing, but I think we are, as a society, doing the best we can."


Short. Sweet. To the point. That's the beauty Dave's iPhone. 

Internet privacy

There's a lot to take in about the changes to internet privacy. But the one thing that gets missed is this: it just got a helluva lot easier for law enforcement to obtain your private records without a court order.

That should scare the crap out of you. It's bigger than selling your info for profit; now you can be legally spied on for any and every thing you do.

#Illegitimate Trump Russia dossier key claim 'verified' - BBC News

Interesting read. A little hard to follow but it backs up what I've been saying that he is #NotOurPresident

This comment struck me: "individual messaging for individual voters." Of course!
