LINDSEY GRAHAM SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS
Lindsey Graham, current Senator from South Carolina, retired Air Force Colonel, media darling, and one of the most conniving and opportunistic politicians on Capital Hill. He was recently pranked by two Russian pranksters pretending to be the Turkish Minister of Defense. Not realizing he was being pranked, he unwittingly revealed his true opinion in regards to the Turkish assault on the Kurds in Syria. President Trump pulled US forces away from the Kurdish areas in Syria, in order for Turkey to invade Syria and massacre as many Kurdish people as possible. Senator Graham, and his fellow Republicans on Capital Hill, have been publicly opposed to Trump's decision. However, it was all a lie! The pranksters recorded the unscrupulous Lindsey Graham supporting Trump's decision, declaring that the Kurds are a threat to Turkey, and that Turkey should do what it must to fix the problem.
Now my dear readers, we can understand why we must not trust politicians. They publicly declare one thing, while privately supporting the exact opposite. How many times, and on how many issues, has Lindsey Graham deceived his constituents by lying to their faces? He and his cronies in DC have abandoned the Kurds, who have been some of staunchest allies of the US in Syria, to the bloodthirsty Turks that will happily massacre anyone that gets in their way.
Lindsey Graham should be publicly shamed for his ruthless dishonesty and his abandonment of the Kurdish people.

ANOTHER FAIL AT CNN
Gabrielle Sorto, writing for CNN, managed to slip a serious error past the editors. But, the editors are not to blame, they are probably too young to know better.
The purpose of the article was to cover the Chowchilla school bus kidnappers. However, the writer claimed this crime which occurred in 1976, was the inspiration for the movie "Dirty Harry" which was released to theaters in 1971. Did the script writer for Dirty Harry have some means of seeing the future? Hmm..... there is obviously a problem there, somewhere. I'm certain CNN will be deleting this article, as soon as the adults in the room realize how badly they screwed up.
This slip should be warning, the folks working in the media are just as prone to mistakes as anyone else. The titles "journalist" or "writer" do not give someone greater wisdom, knowledge, or intelligence than anyone else. There are far too many people that idolize journalists and members of the media, people like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather are held to very high esteem by these press idolizers.
If Gabrielle Sorto and his colleagues at CNN can make such a blatant error, by believing that something that happened in 1976 was the inspiration for a movie that came out in 1971, imagine how badly mistaken they can be when discussing a topic that is far more complex.
