When Omarosa is the headline, it's a no news day

A year or so ago, I had never heard of Omarosa and really didn't know if it was a person, or perhaps some kind of flower.

Today, most of the printed and online stuff I've read is covering Omarosa like something "important" had happened.

I guess Trump didn't tweet any insanity this morning.

I guess Iran or North Korea didn't nuke us. Or us them.

I guess there was no tsunami, earthquake or hurricane worth mentioning.

So I'm flipping around the different online sites and there's a bunch of headlines about Omarosa, who, it seems, is peddling a book. (A "Tell-All" book?)

My whole list of preferred sites had the story near the top. I haven't turned on the TV today, but my guess is that they're covering her too.

Seems I'm out of the loop on this story. Have I been living in a cave for years and just awakened?

Somehow, it seems to me that there's something seriously wrong with America when Omarosa leads the news. On the other hand, if she were truly the most important thing in the news, perhaps none of the other crap would be happening and it would be a better world.

hopefully some of them will be of interest to Mueller.

Probably not, but you never know.

As for her book and what she, personally, has to say... who cares.

Under a competent congress it would even lead to an inquiry or investigation.

If that’s not big news shame on us. A year ago those people marched with their hate and caused a human life to be taken.

These thugs have one goal. To turn America into a fascist state with themselves in charge.

Omarosa has one goal. To make money on her book.

Good luck to her on that.

But, really, let's concentrate on what's important -- and dangerous -- and evil.

But she actually has nothing. Boring tapes. With all the crap in the White House, she couldn't get Trump having a meltdown or saying something stupid?
