This feels like the calm before the storm...

I'm looking out the window. It's a beautiful, clear and calm August day...exactly the kind of day that precedes a hurricane. I feel that way about our country too. Something so ominous is hovering and there is nothing that I can do to make it go away.

He could've had his DIA release the info about mini nukes in NK and the threats were just to draw heat away from him.

MSM can only handle one Shinny Object at a time. Or I would say,they can only follow the latest hand out by the White House.

Andy Lack of Comcast Media/NBC/MSNBC is hell bent on making his Media Outlet a carbon copy of FOX.
