this report is not true.....[Surprise]...CNN is always on when I am up...I was up early , 6:32. How do I know...take my blood work every AM...write down on a chart for my Doctor and for myself...CNN was turned on...back ground noise as I get on computer but listened to..they were all over this story... [sigh] just once it would be nice to read honest posts rather then the same....

The 24-hour news cycle is one of the things I hate most about this century.

Dezi, you might have been up at 6:32, but this discussion was just after 8:30 am, at the height of the real honest media reporting from Times Square was taking place.

Put the merchants who pay property taxes and hire the single moms for jobs that are now out on their behinds. Keep bragging.

Recap from GMA at 0700 hours this morning about the bombing: *The five people injured had been released from the hospital. *The culprit's bomb did not explode correctly. *The bomber survived and is in good condition and talking. *Business as usual in the Port Authority walkway were the incident occured.
Not much else to say.

Owe u a apology...[wish our Donald would take notice..[sigh] } The attack took place about 7:30...I did hear it reported on CNN but didn't bother checking on time..just turned sound up...believe other net works reported it earlier...am sure brass at CNN was upset and chewed a new...A**H*** so if they didn't have the story, I assume they went on with their regular programming and that morning was on the Donald's eating and drinking habits..

Terror attacks from foreign nationals (NYC, Orlando, etc.) or from native born Americans (Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, etc.) are the new norm.

You do know that news outlets report on more than one story, yes? That there are multiple reporters working on things at any given time and usually have deadlines they are expected to meet with those stories?
It is a story though. Especially since 45 promoted he was so healthy. Yet he eats horribly and we all have documentation via Twitter how off the rails he goes around 3AM because he either does not sleep enough or can't keep his crazy private.
The lesson in this is, if you don't want the universe to laugh at you and show you how wrong you were, do not say stupid things. Like Hillary was so weak and wouldn't be well enough to survive the Presidency. As usual, he was really talking about himself.

Turns out America believes the Swamp is being filled, not fixed. poll/ 58% of Americans believe the level of government corruption has risen in the past 12 months. 44% now believe that most or all of the officials in the White House are corrupt – up from 36% last year.

In fact, my BIL just got a job delivering for Amazon. A single mom could easily do the job. If we are worried about taxes, maybe we shouldn't lower the corporate tax rate? As Amazon puts more brick and mortar locations out of business, your local tax base declines, which helps support the local school system and social programs of the county and even the state. Amazon is the anti-thesis of the democratic socialist utopia everyone wants. Amazon represents the Republican philosophy of business much more than the Democratic one.

How unfortunate that the guy survived. Actually if he didn't they would be running in circles trying to see if there was a whole gang of them...supposedly though his family who are in the States not cooperating with authorities... As far as the guy himself...he'll be locked away for probably life..which will be a long time for him as he is so young...unless he offs himself which I wouldn't be surprised to hear in a few years...

Actually it's up for grabs but believe they are shopping a new multi, multi, multi million dollar new distribution center...going to employ thousands...good paying jobs..

I find it interesting the media had a fascination with President Clinton and his attachment to Big Macs. Now it is President Trump and diet coke. Major media has a food attention addiction.

I want to support my community and neighbourhood businesses. ...and then there's this.... www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/all-online-shopping-has-cardboard-consequences-n773656
