He, in his own words, \u201cfreed\u201d to say what he is really thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the drumbeat of events designed to distract from the failures of the Trump Administration continues. Devin Nunes, the Republican Congressman who recused himself from his chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee in regards to the Russian investigation, has now announced an investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s actions in 2010 regarding Russian influence in the mining of uranium.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> This old story, falsely declaring that Russia controls twenty percent of US uranium mining, has been debunked over and over again, but is still a \u201cbig hit\u201d in the alt-right media.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President Trump is looking to recall retired Air Force B-52 bomber pilots in order to place the strategic bomber fleet back on \u201cready alert\u201d for the first time since 1991. \u201cReady Alert\u201d status would place nuclear armed bombers within minutes of takeoff, an action that was important during the Cold War.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> While North Korea does not represent the threat to our nuclear weapons that the Soviets did, placing the bombers (most far older than the crew flying them) on alert status raises the tension not just with North Korea, but with Russia and other nuclear powers. And of course, it raises the tension within Americans as well.<\/p>\n<p>For the second week, the President is embroiled in the \u201ccondolence call\u201d controversy, a \u201ccrisis\u201d created by the President himself with his comments on Monday, October 16<sup>th<\/sup>, comparing his actions to other Presidents. He did this to dodge a much more significant question: what was the goal of the US Special Forces in the African nation of Niger. In the midst of this, White House Chief of Staff Kelly has been forced to re-live the military death of his own son in order to \u201ccover\u201d the President, and forced into more controversy with his attack on a Democratic Congresswoman who was a friend of the bereaved family.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, Trump has ordered the release of the redacted Kennedy assassination files. It\u2019s not that he\u2019s interested in the history of the event, or that Ted Cruz\u2019s father might be involved. He\u2019s found a way to embarrass the intelligence community, even if it\u2019s fifty-five year old information.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Distract, divert, disconcert: the Trump plan is clear. Keep the American politic in turmoil, prevent focus on two issues: the danger his continued Presidency represents, and the illegitimacy that may soon be proved.<\/p>\n<p>The Mueller investigation moves on, reaching higher into the Trump administration, with interviews of Spicer, Preibus, and others. The Senate committee is also continuing, where at least one other Republican (Senator Richard Burr) making a sincere effort towards impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>And in areas that are less well known, there are continued investigations into whether the actual vote itself was tampered with in key states: particularly Wisconsin and Michigan.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> An independent group \u201cUnhack the Vote,\u201d raises questions about the legitimacy of the voting process itself <a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>, even though Mike Pompeo, Director of Central Intelligence, still proclaims that \u201cthe election outcome was unaffected by Russian interference.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Republican leadership, despite the constant barrage of tweeted insults, continuing to try to focus on their \u201cagenda.\u201d Their actions smack of desperation, trying to get something done before the Presidential crisis becomes overwhelming. There should come a time when Republicans start acting as Americans rather than politicians who are so worried about their own next election. Corker, and McCain have freed themselves from the shackles of politics, and are showing that Profile in Courage. There are other honorable Republicans who need to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Two items to keep an eye on:<\/p>\n<p>The Puerto Rican power grid is now in the hands of a three-person company operating out of the Montana hometown of Interior Secretary Zinke. \u00a0Does it smell like a corrupt deal? \u00a0Maybe..<\/p>\n<p>.<a
