Hysterical Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for January 8th:
Bottom Line: These are your daily doses of nonsense from the (often GSS) media and my hot takes...
Rubio calls Cuba sonic attacks a “documented fact” after GOP colleague questions evidence - Miami Hearld
Excerpt: Sen. Marco Rubio pushed back Sunday against comments from a Republican colleague that the United States has found no evidence of “sonic attacks” in Cuba.
The Florida Republican charged the attacks were a “documented fact.”
In a series of tweets Sunday, Rubio dismissed comments by Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a longtime advocate for improving ties with Cuba, stating that any U.S. official briefed on the mysterious events in Havana “knows full well that while method of attack still in question, that attacks and injuries occurred isn’t.”
“It’s a documented FACT that 24 U.S. govt officials & spouses were victims of some sort of sophisticated attack while stationed in Havana,” Rubio tweeted.
Hot Take: Isn't it special that the leftists favorite new Republican, Jeff Flake, who's clearly interested in attempting to cause as much disruption within Republican ranks before leaving the Senate with a case of the red ass (quite literally because Republicans in Arizona don't want him anymore) - is now being perpetuated as credible in this attempt to discredit Rubio. Except here's the thing that perhaps would serve the Herald and any others theoretically interested in the truth...15 US officials have been removed from the embassy in Havana with symptoms of sonic attacks while Jeff Flake's citing classified information as his source to hide behind. Never-mind that Rubio's role with foreign affairs would grant him, at a minimum, the same access to that type of info if it existed. It's also fascinating that folks like that Herald (by virtue of running this piece) have opted to go with the Castro regime and Jeff Flake over the Trump administration and Rubio. Any questions.
Trump's 1st Year Was a Disaster, But I Have Hope Andrew Sullivan, New York Magazine
Excerpt: Michael Wolff’s new book also confirms what we already knew: that the White House is a smoldering crater of chaos and dysfunction. Wolff claims that every single White House source he talked to believes Trump is “incapable of functioning in his job.”
Hot Take:
Economic growth over 3% for the first time in 12 years
Base unemployment rate is the lowest in nearly 17 years
African American unemployment is at all-time lows
Corporate profits are at all-time highs
The stock market is at all-time highs amid a record run
Retirement account balances are at all-time highs
Wage growth is at ten+ year highs
What a freaking disaster... Thank God for the uber credible Michael Wolff who stated that 100% of Trump's inner circle thinks he stupid - man that credibility along with New York Magazine gives me hope that we can return to 1% like Obama growth very soon. Wow these people suck at life. I mean they suck at life in a way in which the average person should thank God daily they aren't these people. I can't imagine going through life being as awful and miserably dishonest as these people.
Has Trump Lost His Mind or Has CNN Lost Its Bearings? Michael Brown, Townhall
This is too easy! By the way whatever happened to the last round of CNN hacks to be fired for faking anti-Trump news? Don't you ever wonder if they tune into their former employer - see the daily dose of an altered state of reality and wonder how they were the ones kicked out of the club?
Until tomorrow...
