Saturday Night Live show creator Lorne Michaels was caught leaving the 4am after party and asked why the show ignored the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal. According to a reporter from The Daily Mail:
[…] When Michaels was asked as he was leaving SNL’s after-party at 4am why the show avoided the Weinstein controversy, the producer smiled and responded: ‘It’s a New York thing.’ (link)
Wait,.. you get a pass on sophomoric comedic ridicule by being from New York? (more…)
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the ongoing tax reform proposal and the status within congress:
Vice-President Mike Pence and Second-Lady Karen Pence were attending an NFL game today between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers. The Colts were set to honor the career of Peyton Manning during a half-time event.
Unfortunately the players from the San Francisco team refused to stand for the National Anthem. Subsequently, our Vice-President and Karen Pence walked out. (more…)
CTH personally prefers the term “The Big Ugly“. We’ve never tried to hide our desire to see the right-side of the DC UniParty apparatus destroyed. CTH has advocated or a common sense insurgency to take over the republican party for almost a decade.
So whether it is called “The Big Ugly”, or “The Storm”, it matters not. The important aspect is the result. To wit President Trump has our steadfast support. The Ben Cardin and Bob Corker UniParty agreement to support and pass the 2015 Iran Deal, a centerpiece of Obama’s foreign policy legacy, showed yet again that only one political ideology runs through the halls of congress in Washington DC.

A few new developments in the ongoing mystery surrounding the Mandalay Bay Massacre:
Mystery hotel companion identified as a prostitute. (Possibly Asian Female)
Ammunition purchases made under name not Stephen Paddock.
Home security footage surfaces of Paddock en route to target practice.
Note found in hotel room contained mysterious numbers.
According to an ABC report police have identified the mystery woman who was seen with Stephen Paddock as a prostitute; her name is being withheld:
LAS VEGAS (KABC) — The woman who was seen with Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock days before the massacre was a prostitute, officials tell ABC News.

Meantime, investigators are still trying to figure out whether Paddock acted alone. Authorities believe he may have had an accomplice, based on the elaborate planning on Sunday night’s rampage.
The first set of eight border wall prototypes are under construction. The Daily Mail has an article showing drone footage from the area and a few of the prototypes competing for border wall contracts. –SEE HERE– The first four contracts to build the prototypes were worth $400 to $500 thousand each and are targeted toward “concrete and reinforced concrete” prototypes.
There will be four additional prototypes using alternate material. The second set of prototype contracts will surround “alternative material” concepts. USCBP previously announced awarding four of those contracts in a similar fashion.
Each segment of prototype is thirty feet wide and thirty feet high (30′ x 30′), and will be the backdrop of a 150 foot wide border enforcement zone. (more…)
At times Alan Dershowitz can express insufferable political opinions that can make blood pressure cuffs explode. At other times, on the libertarian side of liberty principles, Dershowitz becomes an ally against the insufferable overbearing administrative state. He’s an odd duck, but carries a quacker worth hearing.
In this segment, the subject matter is well outlined. However, that said, along with every single person in media and punditry, Dershowitz is not connecting President Trump action to the economics of the Trump foreign policy doctrine.

If people would spend more time studying DJT they’d see the foreign policy strategy of President Trump clear as day. POTUS Trump surrounds himself, optically and vocally, with the overwhelming appearance of military solution providers. This is not accidental; it is entirely by design. (more…)
Life With Jihad – Another possible terrorist attack today in London England as a cab driver intentionally plows into a group of pedestrians outside the London Natural History Museum. It appears his rampage was hampered by the bollards and barricades recently put into place as a security precaution.
