Quote of the day--trmp gave Putin gift of century, by verbally attacking NATO--
Trump suggested that Montenegro — NATO's newest and smallest member that has accused Russia of trying to assassinate its president — might cross over four countries to attack Russia because of the "aggressive" nature of its 622,000 inhabitants.

Quote of day from ABC
Corsi said that Stettner was questioned by the FBI in recent weeks because he has, on and off over the course of many years, helped fix Corsi's computers. Of particular interest to the FBI agents, Corsi said, was a computer of his that Stettner wiped of all its contents in the weeks leading up to Corsi’s subpoena to testify before the special counsel's grand jury in late August.
Corsi and his wife, Monica Corsi told ABC News in a recent interview following Stettner's encounter with the FBI that Stettner wiped the computer because Monica Corsi wanted to use the computer for her New Jersey-based small business, rather than buy a new one. He said neither he nor his wife had nefarious intentions.
“I don’t see how I can be accused of destroying evidence or a conspiracy to obstruct justice when I simply allowed – before I knew I was under investigation -- my stepson to restore a computer,” Corsi told ABC News. “I didn’t see the harm in wiping [the computer] instead of buying a new one.”
Corsi told ABC News that he has an external hard-drive that stored a back-up software application that completely backed up the computer his stepson wiped.
"My attorneys David Gray and Larry Klayman are in the process of writing a letter to [the special counsel] offering to make the desktop Mac, the external hard drive with the [back up application] data, and an internal hard drive we had replaced for a solid state internal hard drive available to [their office]," Corsi said.
(MORE: Special counsel witness says he expects to be charged in Mueller probe)
Corsi, known for promulgating political smear campaigns and conspiracy theories, rejected a plea deal he says was offered to him by Mueller in November, saying he could not sign on to a plea deal for a crime he says he did not commit.

Pretty amazing, the novel series, the TV series and the production.
I read the first 4 books, but after that--too many characters and I liked the ice part more than the water part.
I only liked some of the casting, as sometimes the actors did not seem to fit GRRM's descriptions--e.g. horse-faced Arya.
I liked the costumes. Maybe too many dragons--I would have liked to see more of the dire wolves.
But it's a metaphor or an allegory, the dragons=nuclear weapons.

Wow! Can she draw--Laurie Lipton
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/lovebite
Anybody who can draw and paint knows drawing at that level of detail on such a large scale is more difficult than painting.
You need many many pencil strokes, millions, and to be very accurate to draw like this, whereas you can paint using color comparatively quickly, as in one or a few days--though days may be spread out if --you have to cook and pay your bills and spend time with family, go to the dentist's and the doctor's.
That's why her imagination and execution of her projects are so wonderful and surreal.
Each painting is like a novel.
Which is also why you shld never ask for or expect someone's art work for free, or for the price of paper, pencil and paints.
Barter also seldom works, due to non-coincidence of wants.
For instance, I did not want someone's small drawing of a prairie chicken, even though I praised it, in exchange for one of my big abstracts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYTypmEBE5Q
trmp's trip at state expense, is showing REVERSE of what he wishes to prove--ie
1. THERE IS NO CRISIS at this border.
2. McAllen TX is 7th safest place in America.
3. Walls don't work, Acosta found only a few yards of steel slats, the rest was chain link fence, "such as you would have in your backyard," Acosta said.
Trmp is losing this fight in a spectacular way.
Activists are demanding that he pay for his own vacation in the sun.
He says at "exit interview" on lawn this morning that he's not going to G8, "even though it was very successful" when he did go. That's a lie.
Instead, about 7 people including blonde nazi Kirtsjen Nielson are going, also "buvanka" --it is reported on Twitter.

Hear! Hear! Amazon blurb for Micheal Lewis' The Fifth Risk.
New York Times Bestseller
What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?
"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.
Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.
Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.
If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.
