Fox News.....
"Stephen Miller: "President #Trump's the most gifted politician of our time, and he's the best orator to hold that office in generations."
Yea right.
That commented received this observation by Paul Waldman....
"He's the handsomest man alive. He once hit 18 holes-in-one. He can cure your cancer with a handshake. His farts smell like wisteria."

I'm sorry; I've been busy - have we discussed the "Trump TV" news briefings now streaming from his website? Being billed as "real" news to counter the "fake," but it's all propaganda about how awesome Trump is?
I keep saying, surely THIS will be the thing that shows his remaining core supporters what a madman he is. But no. Now he's putting out state-sponsored propaganda and it's no big deal.

David Axelrod's response to Stephen Miller..,
"He's at 38% approval. Can you imagine how low that number would be were he NOT "the most gifted politician of our time?"

So much for General Kelly pulling in the reigns. Poor guy. I almost feel sorry for him. It continues to amaze me he has any staff left. When I hear one of his cronies raving how well the WH is running, makes me think they're all drinking the Kool-Aid. They're all drinking something, that's for sure.

When will the fool learn that words matter? Threatening a country with nuclear capabilities that can reach the US, along with the destruction of South Korea and China, rather than attempting diplomacy. What's going to happen to his branding in China then? North Korean or the US start a war, then Putin goes into take over the far east, then Iran escalates, and we are fighting a multi faceted war. If Trump is so concerned about his legacy, this should seal it. And has it only been 200 days? It seems like 2 million days. MY husband and I both said the same thing at dinner last night. I remember being a kid of the early 60s when the air raid siren would go off for a drill. Pulling down the shades and huddling in a closet or going to the bomb shelter. I am truly worried that we are headed back into the same thing. He just doesn't know enough to keep his mouth shut. He's going to get us embroiled into another conflict from just shooting off his mouth.

Washington Post Carol Leonning....
"SCOOP: FBI conducts pre dawn search at former Trump campaign aide's home in Russia probe"
It was Paul Manafort's house.
Interesting. I thought Manafort was cooperating.
From the article...
"FBI agents raided the Alexandria home of President Trump’s former campaign chairman late last month, using a search warrant to seize documents and other materials, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort’s home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records. Jason Maloni, a spokesman for Manafort, confirmed that agents executed a warrant at one of the political consultant’s homes and that Manafort cooperated with the search.
Manafort has been voluntarily producing documents to congressional committees investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. The search warrant indicates investigators may have argued to a federal judge they had reason to believe Manafort could not be trusted to turn over all records in response to a grand jury subpoena.
It could also have been intended to send a message to President Trump’s former campaign chairman that he should not expect gentle treatment or legal courtesies from Mueller’s team."

Now we know why this guy went from being a Democrat to Republican. Sorry the money could be better used then trying to save a dying industry.
From WSJ.
West Virginia Gov. Justice asks trump for $4.5 Billion to save Eastern Coal.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is asking President Donald Trump to extend his support for the coal industry by providing some $4.5 billion a year in federal funding for eastern coalfields, a proposal miners in western states say goes against free market principles.
The governor, who days ago switched parties to Republican from Democrat, said in a telephone interview Wednesday that Trump’s elimination of burdensome regulations have been very helpful in starting to get the U.S. coal industry back on its feet. But he said Appalachian region coal mines specifically—and the thousands of jobs they provide—remain at risk because of rising competition from natural gas and less-labor-intensive coal mines in western states like Wyoming, the nation’s leading coal producer.
If the eastern coalfields were to disappear altogether, Mr. Justice said, then any disruption to the power grid in the eastern U.S. due to terrorism or other reasons could lead to tragedy because there would no longer be a nearby, abundant and easily-accessible energy source.
“The survivability of the eastern coalfields is very, very iffy,” he said. “And if you lose the eastern coalfields, you are putting the country at risk beyond belief.” He insisted his funding proposal isn’t for a subsidy, but rather a “homeland security incentive.”
Mr. Justice said he made the proposal directly to President Trump in the Oval Office recently. It calls for federal funding to pay eastern power plants $15 for each ton of thermal coal they buy from the Central or Northern Appalachian region, which includes states like West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. This, for example, would allow a company like Florida Power & Light to pay something like $50 a ton to a mining company such as Ohio-based Murray Energy, but in actuality only be paying $35, he said. At 300 million tons a year, that could cost the federal government $4.5 billion annually, he added.
“In the scope of things, that would be a drop in the bucket to protect ourselves,” Mr. Justice said. “And looking at the other side, you would put thousands and thousands and thousands of people to work, and the net-net of that is that the $4.5 billion would get eroded tremendously, so that it may end up costing almost nothing.”
Mr. Justice’s family owns businesses in the region, but he said they mostly produce metallurgical coal for steel-making rather than thermal coal, so his proposal wouldn’t directly benefit him. “I am not in play trying to pat myself on the butt,” he said.
Travis Deti, the executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association, said “we certainly understand” Mr. Justice’s desire to defend and preserve jobs and industry in his region of the U.S. But he said the proposal seems misguided.
“We very much think it’s best when the government’s not involved, and feel the free market instead should be allowed to work,” Mr. Deti told The Wall Street Journal by telephone. He said the coal industry is still recovering from the effects of the previous administration of President Barack Obama efforts to “pick winners and losers” by supporting renewable energy projects with tax benefits and other incentives.
“We need to stick together,” Mr. Deti said, referring to the overall U.S. coal industry, adding that he believes Mr. Justice should perhaps allow more time for Trump’s regulatory relief to the coal industry to take effect.

A few things are glaring. While Manafort has been supposedly cooperating with Mueller and his team, I'm sure he's been shredding documents at home since the day he got fired from the Trump-camp. What kind of paper trail could have been left in his house??? I'm SURE that Manafort wasn't cooperating with this raid. The point was to search his house pre-dawn, sans knocking at the door! How would Manafort cooperate with that???

tiny hands retweeted this article from Bloomberg Markets...
A June surge in U.S. job openings to a record indicates demand for workers remained strong at the end of the second quarter, a Labor Department report showed Tuesday.
HIGHLIGHTS OF JOB OPENINGS (JUNE) Number of positions rose by 461k, most in almost two years, to 6.163m (est. 5.75m) from upwardly revised 5.702m in May Hiring fell to 5.36m from 5.46m; hiring rate held at 3.7% 3.13m Americans quit their jobs, down from 3.21m; quits rate fell to 2.1% from 2.2% Layoffs up slightly to 1.7m from 1.67m Key Takeaways
The gain in job openings underscores the need for workers in an economy that’s continuing to expand. At the same time, the pool of qualified Americans is shrinking and making some positions tougher to fill, one reason economists expect the monthly pace of hiring will eventually cool. July figures released last week showed payrolls increased more than forecast while the unemployment rate matched a 16-year low, as Americans came off the sidelines to join the labor force and many found work.
The JOLTS report also showed fewer people quitting their jobs, considered a gauge of workers’ willingness to voluntarily leave because they’re confident of finding a better job. That indicates faster wage growth, which has remained elusive in recent years, may still take time to materialize. The quits rate, which remains near its post-recession high, is among indicators of labor-market slack that Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen monitors.
Other Details
There were 1.1 unemployed people vying for every opening in June, down from 1.9 people when the recession began at the end of 2007 Most industries showed a pickup in openings, including record postings for health care and social assistance and gains for professional and business services; retail showed a decline In the 12 months through June, the economy created a net 2.3 million jobs, representing 63.4 million hires and 61.1 million separations Although it lags the Labor Department’s other jobs data by a month, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey report -- or JOLTS -- adds context to monthly payrolls figures by measuring dynamics such as resignations, help-wanted ads and the pace of hiring"
While the report is good the bolded part is the storm clouds on trump's horizon of getting "jobs jobs jobs". I wonder if he actually read the article or just went by this tweet.....
"U.S. job openings surge to record bloom.bg/2hFC6vY via @shochandra"
My guess is no.
