The Presidents Devotional: What Obama Did In Secret In Newtown (EXCERPT)

The families came in and gathered together, room by room. Many struggled to offer a weak smile when we whispered, “The president will be here soon.” A few were visibly angry—so understandable that it barely needs to be said—and were looking for someone, anyone, to blame. Mostly they sat in silence.

I went downstairs to greet President Obama when he arrived, and I provided an overview of the situation. “Two families per classroom . . . The first is . . . and their child was . . . The second is . . . and their child was . . . We’ll tell you the rest as you go.”

The president took a deep breath and steeled himself, and went into the first classroom. And what happened next I’ll never forget.

You don't even need to google "deranged animal". Just googling "deranged" does the trick.

Anybody watch 60 Minutes tonight? Somebody please tell me how a Bill to protect opioid drug

distributors from DEA prosecution that was written by Marsha Blackburn and Tom Marino passed both houses by unanimous consent and then was signed by President Obama. I know about the drug lobby but WTF? This was a very disturbing report.

Trump silent as questions remain over deadly Niger ambush - By Barbara Starr and Ryan Browne, CNN

Updated 3:30 AM ET, Sat October 14, 2017

On Saturday October 7, the day the body of 25-year-old Army Sgt. La David Johnson was returned to Dover Air Force Base after he was killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger, President Donald Trump was golfing. It's not known if the President ever planned to attend the return of remains ceremony at Dover as he has in the past. But since the ambush on October 4 in Niger, he has not commented publicly on the deadliest combat incident involving US troops since he took office.

TRUMP JUST MADE WAR WITH IRAN AND NORTH KOREA MORE LIKELY THAN EVER, RETIRED ARMY GENERAL SAYS

BY TOM O'CONNOR ON 10/13/17 AT 4:49 PM

Retired Army Major General Paul Eaton, who played a key role in rebuilding and training the Iraqi military in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion, on Friday warned that Trump's decision may not only bring about a new crisis in the Middle East, but further escalate an already tense nuclear standoff with North Korea and further complicate the U.S.'s 16-year military campaign in Afghanistan. He appealed to Congress to not destroy the deal by adding more sanctions during the 60-day window lawmakers now have to take action.

"Donald Trump has moved us closer to a war with Iran, while he has also moved us closer to a nuclear war with North Korea. All while we're in a war in Afghanistan," Eaton said in a statement.

"The path we are now on—massive loss of human life, on the scale of millions—is not a positive development for America, or humanity," he continued. "We implore Congress to step in and rein in this president.”

Dotard has to be stopped. He's completely nuts.

Lawyer: Priebus interviewed by Mueller investigative team

Source: ABC

A lawyer for Reince Priebus says the former White House chief of staff has been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators.

Attorney William Burck said in a statement that the interview took place Friday and that Priebus was "happy to answer all of their questions."

Priebus is one of several current and former White House aides expected to be interviewed by Mueller's team in the coming weeks as it investigates potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Priebus did not answer his cell phone Friday evening. His voicemail box was full.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.

Keep grinding Mr. Mueller. Our nation's survival is depending upon you.

Trump friend Tom Barracks unprecedented cry for help - By Aaron Blake October 11 at 12:22 PM

"Increasingly, those around Trump are opting to plead with him through the media, hoping that will do what private conversations cannot. They are all unmistakable cries for help. But now, for the first time, we have a very public cry for help from someone who is extremely close — personally — to Trump.

Of course, saying these things publicly also only adds to the circus that is the Trump administration. But Barrack — and plenty of others — have made the calculated decision to say them even if it increases the perception of discord in the White House. They've clearly decided this is the best, highly imperfect method for getting through to Trump. That's desperation, pure and simple."
