(Michael) Flynn retweets anti-Semitic remark

Source: Politico

Less than a week after giving an impassioned speech at the Republican National Convention, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is catching heat for sharing with his Twitter followers — as Donald Trump has in the past — an anti-Semitic message.

Flynn was responding Sunday to an assertion by Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, on CNN that Russia was behind the hack and release of tens of thousands of internal Democratic National Committee emails last week.

“The corrupt Democratic machine will do and say anything to get #NeverHillary into power. This is a new low,” he tweeted, sharing a link to a tweet from a user named Saint Bibiana (@30PiecesofAG_) who wrote “>Cnn implicated. ‘The USSR is to blame!’ … Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore.”

That user’s tweet linked to a post from CNN Politics sharing the clip of Mook’s remarks.

Report: Trump gets backing from Obama's half-brother

Source: USA Today

Donald Trump is mighty pleased with his latest endorsement: President Obama's half-brother.

Malik Obama, who has a had a falling out with his relative in the White House, told The New York Post that “I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart ... Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”

Trump heralded the support on Twitter, saying the half-brother "was probably treated badly by president-like everybody else!"

President Obama and his half-brother appear to have had little contact with each other in recent times.

Alien Ocean: NASA’s Mission to Europa



Another reason to vote for Hillary, as Trump doubtless thinks Europa contains the country he'll get his next wife from.

How to use “parental lock” to prevent your parents from tuning in to Fox

Cable news is bad. Fox News is the worst. It is, after all, the network that blamed a hoodie for the death of Trayvon Martin and claimed that poor people have it pretty good if they’ve got a refrigerator. We’d all probably be better off if we shut off Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly and watched sports or nature documentaries or talked to our families. This does not have to be a hypothetical. We have the technology in our very own homes to make this dream a reality.

Abby, a Slate reader, watched her mother—who’d lived in the United States as a permanent resident for nearly 30 years—become a U.S. citizen to vote for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary. She was quite surprised, then, to find her mother becoming an increasingly attentive Fox News viewer. Abby felt she had no choice: The child unleashed the power of parental lock on her own mother.

After Abby’s mother called her cable operator to ask why the channel wasn’t working, Abby revealed that she had blocked it. The mother and daughter then had the opportunity to “have a conversation about whether it was a good news source or not.”

That 3rd paragraph slays me!


The article also contains instructions on how to use the locking feature on major cable providers.

CNN Trump surrogate mocks Kaine’s Spanish: "I might have to brush up on my ‘Dora the Explorer’"

CNN commentator and Donald Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes was not happy with the Spanish she heard coming out of Hillary Clinton’s new vice presidential pick’s mouth at a rally in south Florida Saturday.

Former Virginia governor Tim Kaine was named Friday as Clinton’s running mate and the campaign touted his time as a missionary in Honduras where he learned to speak fluent Spanish.

“I appreciating him having multi-cultural and speaking Spanish, I think that’s a great idea,” Nell Hughes said. “And we can all bring out our languages. Melania can come out and speak her five different languages as well, but what Mr. Trump did, he spoke in a language that all Americans can understand. That is English!”

Nell Hughes went on to say that Trump’s English is “one good thing” she experienced at the Republican National Convention this past week. “I didn’t have to get a translator for anything that was going on at the RNC this week. And I’m hoping I’m not gonna have to start brushing up back on my ‘Dora the Explorer’ to understand some of the speeches given this week.”
