The Trumpet 1-5-2017

Excerpted from "Through a Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll
Humpty Dumpty was sitting, with his legs crossed like a Turk, on the top of a high wall — such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how he could keep his balance — and, as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a stuffed figure, after all.

BTW, just in:

more unverified fake news from cnn? <-- notice the ? mark.
wow we got a good headline lets go go who cares about facts.
btw I did find and read the article before passing it off as the usual garbage from cnn.

Granted CNN is a bit of a joke, you are very good at throwing out terms such as "unverified" unproven.. so where do you get your 'truthful and accurate information? the information that counters the 'unverified'? I would love to read where you get your opinions (and please please don't say the Fountainhead) where do people who are so sure that the mainstream press is so slanted get this information? If you list your daily reading sites I would read each one of them too and see if I think what you read is true, I would love to read where you are getting your information it would be helpful for me as I try to always ensure what I read is factual.

Unverified I'll give you, but it's a developing story. That's how news works a lot of the time thanks to the 'net and the 24-hr news cycle. I'd love your take once it is verified, public information, but I strongly suspect it'll still be fake news to you.

No one who looks the other way when there's meddling in their country's elections because it benefitted their "side" is a patriot. I'm not surprised by much in politics anymore, but this has me scratching my head.

That said, Karl, for some reason, I have it in my head that you're in Canada?

My wifey is from Canada she came down here when we got married.
I'm a ways outside of Chicago in the most dysfunctional state in the US right now.

Ah! Ok.

BTW, this addresses the head-scratcher with a pretty straight-forward theory. Interesting read from a Repub and former speechwriter for Bush:

There is no one source, I actually look at yahoo news and snort at the dumb headlines but it give me a heads up on stuff I might want to check out. I also check bbc news from time to time,
Once I find something that is interesting to me I search for it and read multiple sources looking for one with real information.
That is very rarely cnn.

Thanks EB. This is my problem with government and politicians. They are all guilty of it. Those who think that dems are completely altruistic are just pushing the party agenda. Likewise for repubs. Watch them all like a hawk!!!! And if you take what the CIA, FBI, and NSA (and other letter agencies) say as gospel then you will be led down a primrose path. Those at the top of the agencies are politicians also.
