Random ponderings on a Tuesday night
Why would the Cheeto-in-Chief have fired Reince Priebus and continue to follow him on Twitter? He doesn't follow Paul Manafort, who went Twitter-silent last December anyway. He doesn't follow Anthony Scaramucci. In fact, he only follows 45 accounts, a large percentage of which have the name Trump in the account name.
While on the subject of the Liar-in-Chief, why would he bother telling a lie about a phone call from the Boy Scouts about his inappropriate speech at their Jamboree? The answer is, to stroke his own ego.

The Pentagon is refusing to disclose how many cases they failed to review concerning members of the California National Guard who were being hounded to repay bonus payments. The deadline set by Congress passed by and apparently there are a lot of people who are still on the hook due to the inaction of the Pentagon.
That is inexcusable. Even if lengthy reviews of every case were required, the Pentagon should have burnt the midnight oil for as long as needed to get through all of them.
Stay tuned.

Did whoever at One American News Network (OANN) delivered the news of Corey Lewandowski's termination to the former Trump campaign manager yell "you're fired?" Sources report that the primary reason for OANN letting him go was his regular appearances on their competitors, especially Fox News.
Maybe they should form a Trump Alumni Group on Facebook.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, there is a middle school named after legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi. That school's principal announced that the school will not have a football team next year because no one applied for the vacant coaching jobs at the school.
Why? The articles did not speculate.

Did Anthony Scaramucci take the job at the White House as part of a scheme to defer paying tax on his capital gain from the sale of his investment firm? He values his stake in the company at $50 million. That could mean deferring a tax bill of more than $10 million.
But CNN/Money reports he will pay the tax and this was never a scheme to get the taxes deferred.
I don't buy the notion that he did this for a short term stint to defer the taxes.

Trevor Noah of the Daily Show posits that at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, because of Hollywood, the entire Chinese team will be portrayed by white actors.

Is it Gene Simmons live, or is it a calf's face?

This just in, did Anthony Scaramucci's rumored relationship with Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle contribute to his losing his White House post?
