An elderly gentleman... Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100% The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect.. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.' The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the Obama administration is destroying public records in the final days in office.

Just days ago, Assange offered a $30,000 reward to any administration employee who would publicly expose any official disposing of information.

During a Periscope press conference on Monday, Assange said the most important thing for Americans to do is to ensure Obama is not destroying those records.

A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the

Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.  Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very

frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling ties.

The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"

The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie?  They are only $5."

The Taliban shouted hysterically, "Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment - I spit on your ties. I need water!"

"Sorry, I have none - just ties - pure silk - and only $5."

"Pahh! A curse on your ties, I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but... I must conserve my energy and find

water!"

"Okay," said the little old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do not

want to buy a tie from me or that you hate me, threaten my life and call me infidel.  I will show you that I am bigger than any of that.  If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant.  It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need... Go In Peace."

Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he crawled back, almost dead and gasped... "They won't let me in without a tie!"

It's rare that a president makes good on campaign promises let alone before they take office. Earlier this week Ford said it would cancel a new plant in Mexico and invest in Michigan and now Chrysler says it will be spending a billion dollars on manufacturing in the United States and adding 2,000 new jobs. The markets are at all time highs, manufacturing is coming back, and Trump hasn't even taken office yet. We are embarking upon an American resurgence.

Poll: CNN Earns Title Of Least Trusted Cable News Network

CNN is the least trusted cable news network, according to a new poll published Wednesday.

The survey, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, found that 75 percent of likely voters watch at least some cable news each week.

Of those, 42 percent watch Fox News, 35 percent CNN and 19 percent MSNBC.

Regarding political news coverage, respondents seem to view all the cable news networks with some skepticism.

"Fair and balanced" Fox News scored the best with 50 percent reporting they trust the political news they are getting from the network. Meanwhile, 43 percent of MSNBC viewers said they trust the political news offered there.

CNN came in last among the big three, with just 33 percent indicating they really believe "the most trusted name in news."

"Most Republicans (72%) watch Fox, while 50% of Democrats would rather view CNN. Voters not affiliated with either party are evenly divided between the two," according to Rasmussen.

RT � 'Clinton quite effective at discrediting herself, doesn't need Putin's help' � ex CIA analyst

"It was not Vladimir Putin who told Hillary Clinton to use a private email account and conduct US-government business over that account and to share classified information. And her repeated lying about it. The fact that you would just focus a story on it somehow makes you an agent of Vladimir Putin. This thing is so ridiculous. It's amusing we have talk about, but it's so serious because it shows just the level that the intelligence community in the United States has fallen to. They are playing and interfering in domestic policies," he said. � retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson

When does Obama plan to blame Debbie Wasserman Schultz for destroying

the trust and integrity of the Democratic Party and the DNC? For losing hundreds of seats to Republicans under her leadership?

When will Obama blame Hillary for actively engaging in pay to play activities with major corporations as Secretary of State and tarnishing the Democratic brand with blatantly corrupt actions during his administration?

When will Obama admit the HE helped undermine Hillary's campaign by pushing for the Trans Pacific Partnership DURING the general election when the majority of the American people, unions, environmental groups and the majority of Democrats in congress strongly opposed the corporate TPP?

No instead Obama will blame Bernie supporters (VOTERS) , blame the Russians, and blame the GOP.

It's time Obama faced reality and truly admitted the faults within the Democratic party that lead to it's great failures over the last 4-6 years instead of pointing a finger at everyone else...

Ya. I'm really steamed that Obama is trying to pin blame on Bernie and his supporters. And as long as Obama chooses to play the blame game it will come right back at you Mr. President.

Please do not try to lecture Bernie supporters when you can't even acknowledge the huge failings by yourself, the Clinton campaign, and DNC.

End of rant.....

Who do you believe America?

asks CNBC's John Harwood on Twitter. Wikileaks or  US Intel Officials?

Wikileaks 83%

US Intel 13%

'Donna Brazile Reminds Us All Why Everyone Hates the Democratic Party'

By Michael Sainato | January 3, 2017

http://observer.com/2017/01/donna-brazile-reminds-us-why-everyone-hates-the-democratic-party/

Nothing Democratic National Committee (DNC) interim chair Donna Brazile says should be taken seriously, especially with regards to the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections. After all, if anyone has motive to propagate this narrative for Democrats in order to skirt accountability for the content of the leaks and the losses the party has suffered over the past eight years, it's Brazile.

Bus station employees are reporting that illegal immigrants continue pour into the Texas border town of Laredo. They have seen a holding center for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carrying between 20 and 40 undocumented women during at least five bus trips.

The local NBC affiliate, 8KGNS-TV first heard that 400 migrants were headed to the border city but it has been difficult to get a concrete number of released individuals from the agency. Officials report that these women meet certain release eligibility requirements set by the federal government.

An elderly man lay sprawled across three entire seats at a concert.  When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the old man, "Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat."  The old man didn't budge.  The usher became more impatient.  "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager."  Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing.  The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager.  Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old dishevelled man, but with no success.  Finally they summoned the police.  The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?"  "Fred," the old man moaned.  "Where you from, Fred?" asked the police officer.  With a terrible strain in his voice, and without moving, Fred replied; "The balcony......."

The Washington Post published a story on Friday claiming that Russia had hacked a Vermont electric company's computers. The repoirt caused an explosion on social media and dozens of articles quoting the Post were published as a result.

But a statement issued by the Burlington Electric Department said that the company's computers had not been hacked, but that a personal laptop belonging to an employee had been penetrated.

How did the Post get the story so wrong? The reporters violated a cardinal rule of journalism; they failed to confirm the story with the company.

Daily Caller:

"Last night, U.S. utilities were alerted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of a malware code used in Grizzly Steppe, the name DHS has applied to a Russian campaign linked to recent hacks," a spokesman for the Burlington Electric Department said. "We acted quickly to scan all computers in our system for the malware signature. We detected the malware in a single Burlington Electric Department laptop not connected to our organization's grid systems."

The Vermont Public Service Commissioner Christopher Recchia told The Burlington Free Press, "The grid is not in danger."

However, this false Washington Post story about a Russian intrusion into the American electrical grid has caused panic among journalists.

Politico cybersecurity reporter Eric Geller said about the Post story, "Pretty amazing how badly the Post appears to have mangled this one. You didn't call the Vermont utility regulator before publishing?"

A Baptist minister was seated next to a Newfie on a flight to St. John's.  After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.  The Newfie asked for Rum & Coke, which was brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink.  He replied in disgust.....

"I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."

The Newfie then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me too my dear, I didn't know we had a choice."
