The Los Angeles Timesmocks White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s appearance in a new column by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and cartoonist David Horsey.
Horsey’s column, “Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the right mouthpiece for a truth-twisting president,” accuses Sanders of lying on behalf of the president, and is accompanied by a cartoon of the press secretary in a fascist-style uniform uttering the Orwellian phrases: “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. Paul Manafort is Hillary Clinton.” A caption at top left refers to Sanders as “Big Mother.” As for the text, Horsey chose to lead his column with an attack on Sanders’s appearance. And the Times editors chose to print it. Horsey begins:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trumpwould choose as his chief spokesperson. Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy. Trump’s daughter Ivanka and wife Melania are the apotheosis of this type. By comparison, Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games. Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes. Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders.
In a recent editorial on the dozens of allegations of sexual harassment against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, the Times admonished: “All businesses, including those here in Hollywood, should confront their demons.”

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — The Latest on the sentencing hearing for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (all times local):
A military judge has found that Bowe Bergdahl should serve no prison time for endangering his comrades by walking off his Afghanistan post.
The judge also gave Bergdahl a dishonorable discharge, reduced his rank to private and said he must forfeit pay equal to $1,000 per month for 10 months. The judge made no other comments.
Bergdahl appeared tense, grimaced and clenched his jaw. His attorneys put their arms around him and one patted him on the back.

Newly Unveiled Dinosaur Fossil is Best Preserved Of Its Kind | National Geographic By Kelly Nov 1st 2017 I know I normally do a "think" piece in the morning but this item blew me away and I just wanted to share it. It's like winning the fossil lottery! And who doesn't love a dinosaur? Especially one like this! Even some of its innards are still intact. The dinosaur is so well preserved that it "might have been walking around a couple of weeks ago," said one paleobiologist, "I've never seen anything like this."
See the remains of a nodosaur, the best preserved fossil of its kind ever found. Discovered by miners in Alberta, Canada, it's a 110 million-year-old type of plant-eating armored dinosaur. The animal has two 20-inch-long spikes on its shoulders, and, in life, it was 18 feet long and nearly 3,000 pounds.
President Donald Trump on Thursday hosted Hock E. Tan, CEO of the tech company Broadcom Limited, at the White House, where Tan announced his company would "make America home again."
Tan touted his and Broadcom's deep ties to the U.S. and credited Trump with creating conditions for the globalized company to relocate to the U.S. from Singapore. Broadcom manufacturessemiconductors and makes $20 billion in annual revenue that will soon be legally situated in Delaware.
"Our commitment to redomicile into the United States is a huge reaffirmation—to our shareholders and to the 7,500 employees we have across 24 states in America today—that America is once again the best place to lead a business with a global footprint," Tan said.
Tan pointed to difficult conditions for running a business as the reason Broadcom had moved overseas, but he said the company's identity has remained American.
Rapper Snoop Doggposted an album cover image on Instagram, showing the rapper looking down on what appears to be the dead body of Donald Trump. Snoop Dogg came under fire earlier this year after using a mock presidential assassination for his "Lavender" video, which featured a man dressed like Trump in clown makeup. In the new single, "Make America Crip Again," released ahead of the album, Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, takes verbal jabs at Trump. Snoop isn't the only fellow rapper to get heat recently for speaking their mind about Donald Trump; Eminem recently did a free-style rap that bashed the commander in chief at the BET Awards.
The cover of the Make America Crip Again EP shows the rapper looking on as a body covered with a United States flag lies on a gurney with a toe tag reading "TRUMP." The image is an homage to the cover for Ice Cube's 1991 album Death Certificate as it looks almost identical.
Is Obama Connected To The Russia Dossier? Published on October 31, 2017
Bombshells were dropped last week—and I’m not talking about the Washington Free Beacon’s somewhat wholly unrelated relationship with the research firm that was behind the unverified Trump dossier. That effort was solely focused on the GOP field in 2016—and all information was from public sources. Russia was not a topic of concern or inquiry. Also, any information Fusion GPS gave to the Free Beacon did not turn up on the dossier. That document was compiled by a former British intelligence operative using Kremlin officials and bankrolled by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Marc Elias, the lawyer for the Clinton campaign at the time, who was also retained by the DNC, set up the arrangement. The Democrats solely funded the dossier effort. So, was President Obama involved in this rather intricate web that has now ensnared the Democrats and Hillary Clinton?
Ryan Fournier, chairman of Students For Trump, tweeted “Who wants to bet that President Obama knew about the Clinton-DNC funded dossier on President Trump?” And The Federalist’s Sean Davis was there to catch this pop fly. It turns out that Obama’s campaign organization pumped almost a million dollars into Perkins Coie, the law firm where Elias is a partner, since April of 2016. The same law firm that got Fusion GPS to work for Clinton and the Democrats regarding getting the goods on Donald Trump using a former MI6 operative.
We have the votes to pass National Concealed Carry, but the Terrible Twins are blocking it By Kelly- Nov 1, 2017

Your concealed carry permit should be like your drivers license or marriage certificate.
Most Americans agree. Most of Congress agrees.
But Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell? Not so much.
Rep. Richard Hudson’s “Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act” would allow anyone with a concealed carry permit, or who can carry in a Constitutional Carry state, to also carry when they travel across state lines.
It has 213 co-sponsors, and more than enough votes to easily pass in the House.
There is also a version in the Senate, which also has enough votes to pass.
But Ryan and McConnell are blocking the bill, refusing to hold a vote.
Meanwhile, law-abiding gun owners with concealed carry permits are being arrested and charged with crimes for crossing a state line with their legally-permitted firearm. With state laws constantly changing, it’s impossible to know exactly which states allow you to carry.
And, as people who live near a state line can tell you, gun owners often find themselves forced to cross state lines by road construction or wrong turns.
The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would fix that, restore Second Amendment rights nationwide and bring concealed carry permits or Constitutional Carry rights into compliance with the Constitution’s requirement that states honor each others permits with full faith and credit.
Silicon Valley is settling in to get grilled by Washington.

Special Counsel Stacked With Democrat Donors Rolls Out Indictments
Trey Gowdy Uncovered The Awful Secret The FBI Tried To Bury About Hillary
Gowdy has been on the trail of Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing since Benghazi. But he has been thwarted by a powerful cover-up.
Now’s he’s uncovered the dark secret the FBI used to shield Hillary from prosecution. Gowdy – in his role as Chairman of the Oversight Committee – announced hearings into the FBI’s conduct during the 2016 election that will include why former Director James Comey drafted a letter clearing Clinton of criminal wrongdoing before the investigation into her emails was complete. The Washington Examiner reports:
“Rep. Trey Gowdy plans to grill former FBI Director James Comey about his decision-making as part of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s decision to re-examine the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
“Have to, won’t we?” the South Carolina Republican told the Washington Examiner when asked about interviewing Comey.
Gowdy chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has opened a joint investigation with the Judiciary Committee in order to review the Justice Department’s handling of the politically charged investigation. Gowdy is particularly concerned that “the decision to charge or not charge [Clinton] was made before all the witnesses were interviewed,” but he emphasized that the investigation topics are structured in a nonpartisan way.
“Of the six things we listed with specificity, three of them are things Democrats gave a big damn about last fall,” said Gowdy. “So, the question is, do they still? And three of them are things that Republicans cared about a lot last year, and the question is, do they still?”
The committees announced the investigation Tuesday morning, with an emphasis on Comey and why the FBI decided what information to reveal and when. Questions include whether the FBI made the right decision to say in public that Clinton’s team was “extremely careless” in its handling of classified information, which Democratic critics protested was a breach of DOJ protocol. But the committee will also ask about the parallel refusal to confirm during the campaign that some of President Trump’s campaign associates faced investigations over their apparent ties to Russia.”
But there is a new wrinkle in this story that will also demand Comey be grilled by Gowdy.
According to the Washington Post, the FBI was set to pay Christopher Steele – of the famous Trump-Russia dossier – to continue digging into Trump at the same time Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democrat National Committee was paying him to dredge up opposition research on Trump.
The Post reports:
“After the election, the FBI agreed to pay Steele to continue gathering intelligence about Trump and Russia, but the bureau pulled out of the arrangement after Steele was publicly identified in news reports.”
Gowdy should demand Comey to answer for why the FBI was willing to pay someone connected to both the Russians and Hillary Clinton to dig up dirt on another party’s Presidential nominee.
It’s an unbelievable revelation that federal law enforcement was being used to spy on Barack Obama’s political opponents.

John McCain Was Terrified This Question Could Force Him To Resign
John McCain is in trouble. He is neck deep in a plot to force Trump from office. Now he’s terrified this one question could force him to resign. McCain’s role in the Hillary Clinton-Russia scandal is mushrooming. He was the one who ordered an underling to travel to London and obtain a copy of the fake news Christopher Steele dossier.
Once it was in his hands, he handed it over to former FBI Director James Comey.
That was how it was presented to Trump and eventually it was leaked to the press in a scheme to drive him from office.
