turbinetree's JournalCNNs Ana Navarro: More people going in and out of Trumps White House than a Las Vegas brothel
Source: Raw Story
Republican strategist and CNN contributor Ana Navarro railed against President Donald Trump on Monday, describing his first 200 days in the White House as a chaotic failure.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Trump boasted that he had improved the stock market, border security, the U.S. military, the economy, and had successfully appointed a Supreme Court justice.
But besides putting conservative Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, Navarro said it was hard to find successes in the Trump administration.
Look, in 200 days he has had very few good days, she said. He failed at his signature promise of [replacing and repealing Obamacare.] His White House has had more people going in and out for quickies than a Las Vegas brothel. The chaos that has ensued is absolutely insane.
He keeps fabricating, making up things and outright lying, Navarro continued. He keeps tweeting like a deranged person. He has caused international incidents. The leaks out of his White House are like cheese cloth. So, no, I dont think you can say this has been a good 200 days.

Chief of Staff John Kelly gives up on trying to control Trumps Twitter after latest tweet-spasm: re
Source: Raw Story
Newly appointed White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has already accepted that he will not be able to control President Donald Trumps inflammatory use of Twitter.
Over the past week, media reports have praised Kelly, a retired Marine general, for imposing military discipline on the White House.
Mr. Kelly cuts off rambling advisers midsentence, The New York Times reported. He listens in on conversations between cabinet secretaries and the president. He has booted lingering staff members out of high-level meetings, and ordered the doors of the Oval Office closed to discourage strays.
According to Bloomberg, Kelly also had high hopes for curbing the presidents use of Twitter.

A fake Starbucks ad is trying to lure DREAMers to round them up for deportation
Source: Think Progress
Contrary to a fake ad promoted by social media users, the coffee-shop giant Starbucks will not be offering discounts to undocumented immigrants on August 11, the company has confirmed.
Created by internet trolls, the fraudulent ad titled Starbucks Dreamer Day reads, All undocumented Americans will receive any item on the Starbucks menu 40 percent off with the hashtag #BorderFreeCoffee. The word Dreamer is often associated with a group of undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children, as its named after a 16-year-old bipartisan immigration bill that seeks to legalize this group of people.
John Kelly, the Starbucks senior vice president of global communications, told The Associated Press over the weekend that the rumor is completely false. One hundred percent fake. The company has also taken to Twitter to respond to internet users who have promulgated the fake ad.
Internet trolls seized on the opportunity to market Starbucks to immigrants because the company is known for its progressive hiring practices, like setting goals to hire thousands of refugees and veterans.

Maybe it time to inundate 4chan website, that is doing this sh*t, just like telemarketers, don't call back or answer the phone just send a program to override their system like one programmer did on one scam operation just awhile back.
If anyone is interested in this and wants to comment on
this article, which I believe that it should be posted for our awareness on Fake News.
I just wish that my tv, phone and my computer can or could warn me that it is fake or real with a watermark just like that are on payroll checks, I hope no one is offended

In an age of Photoshop, filters and social media, many of us are used to seeing manipulated pictures subjects become slimmer and smoother or, in the case of Snapchat, transformed into puppies.
However, theres a new breed of video and audio manipulation tools, made possible by advances in artificial intelligence and computer graphics, that will allow for the creation of realistic looking footage of public figures appearing to say, well, anything. Trump declaring his proclivity for water sports. Hillary Clinton describing the stolen children she keeps locked in her wine cellar. Tom Cruise finally admitting what we suspected all along that hes a Brony.
This is the future of fake news. Weve long been told not to believe everything we read, but soon well have to question everything we see and hear as well.
For now, there are several research teams working on capturing and synthesizing different visual and and audio elements of human behavior.
My sister says I am an alien: A 9-year-old applies to be NASAs planetary protection officer
Source: Washington Post
When NASA announced last week that it was looking for a new planetary protection officer, the space agency received some incredulous responses.
Some were agog at the six-figure salary: between $124,000 and $187,000 per year. Others laughed at the fantastical job title, one that conjured up science-fiction fantasies and battles with aliens. (In reality, NASA says, the position is focused on preventing astronauts from bringing biological contaminants from space back to Earth and vice versa.)
But one 9-year-old boy in New Jersey took the vacancy seriously. So he took a sheet of paper and an obviously well-sharpened pencil and carefully hand-wrote his application.

Justin Gatlins 100m medal ceremony moved to avoid booing
Source: The Guardian
Sunday nights world championships 100m medal ceremony has been switched because athletics chiefs do not want to see a full stadium booing Justin Gatlin and the American national anthem.
The ceremony was originally due to be held at 8pm but has now been moved to 6.50pm before the evening programme starts. The International Association of Athletics Federations has officially insisted that the switch has nothing to do with the result, however their denials were met with scepticism by most observers inside the London Stadium.
Meanwhile Sebastian Coe, the president of the International Association of Athletics Federations, says he will congratulate the new world 100m champion Justin Gatlin if he sees him in London this week but admits he was far from eulogistic to see the twice-banned American sprinter win gold. In what was Usain Bolts final individual race before retirement, the 11-times world champion could only take third place, behind the US sprinters Gatlin and Christian Coleman.
Sport rarely settles upon the perfect script. Lifes just not like that, Lord Coe said. Speaking on BBC 5 Lives Sportsweek, Coe added: Its not the worst result ever. Im hardly going to sit here and tell you Im eulogistic that somebody that has served two bans in our sport would walk off with one of our glittering prizes, but he is eligible to be here.

GOP Sen. Cotton Says He Doesnt See Bills To Shield Mueller Going Very Far
Source: Talking Points Memo
By ESME CRIBB Published AUGUST 6, 2017 11:37 AM
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday said he does not expect legislation to shield special counsels from political influence to progress much.
First there was the vote on sanctions, which the President did not like with respect to Russia. Also in the Senate you took measures to make sure there were no recess appointments. And finally there are a couple of bipartisan efforts to make sure that the President cant fire the special counsel, CBS News John Dickerson asked on Face the Nation. Seems to be Congress is trying to constrain the President.
Well, those are all very different kinds of actions, Cotton replied.
He said he supported the sanctions legislation and said Senate scheduling to prevent recess appointments is something that goes back to the Obama administration.
Thats simply Congress taking its responsibility seriously to provide advice and consent to all nominations, he said.
