Obama, Yesterday: "I'm trying to think what would've happened if I had said, Fox News, you're out of here. It's unimaginable!"
Obama Admin 2009: Attempts to boot Fox News from pool coverage.
Obama: "If media (Fox News) is operating basically as a talk radio format, then that's one thing. And if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another."
"David Axelrod argued Fox News is not a real news organization..."
Axelrod to Stephanopoulos: "And the bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way."
"And today, the White House took its first concrete step in that direction...the administration specified that all members of the pool were welcome, except Fox News..."
He knows he will avoid any serious media pushback on flat-out revisionist history like this, because the Democrat allied media doesn't like to question or criticize Barack Obama.
a Lowes employee who monitors the self-checkouts (which is all there is in my area) came up behind me and said "If I had a dollar every time I heard that I could quit.".
President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States and Denmark have reached an agreement allowing an expanded and permanent American military presence in Greenland. The agreement will strengthen U.S. security interests in the strategically important Arctic territory.
“The United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland,” Trump wrote on social media. He said the U.S. would begin developing a large military presence in appropriate areas of the island while working with Greenlanders on development and construction.
Denmark and Greenland confirmed the agreement is expected to be signed during the United Nations General Assembly next week.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the agreement would strengthen the security of Greenland, Denmark, the United States and the Western alliance. Greenland leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the deal recognizes Greenland’s interests and role in international cooperation.
Under the agreement, the U.S. will maintain a permanent military presence even if Greenland eventually becomes independent. The arrangement also allows for additional American bases and prohibits non-NATO countries, including China and Russia, from establishing bases or making investments deemed threatening to U.S. security.

Lowes was empty today
Rare to see almost no customers in the one around here. I needed to replace a broken cheap yard sprinkler to try to keep my shrubs and gardens alive since it's only rained about 3/4 inch in the last 2.5 months and hell, I can't remember when it was below 95 for a high. Well, who knew Kobalt sold sprinklers. For 60 ****ing dollars! The $10 odd brand was junk so I got the almost junk for $20 but it does have brass nozzles.
Large flashlights ran from $30-$90 ****ing dollars!
As I was mumbling to myself that "we all know WHO is responsible for this" a Lowes employee who monitors the self-checkouts (which is all there is in my area) came up behind me and said "If I had a dollar every time I heard that I could quit."
His approval rating is not "just below 30% for the first time." It has to be like 15% but I know the rich ****s who never actually buy sprinklers, food or gas for themselves are the majority of the ones giving him that 15-29% nod.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth pulled no punches when he hit the Washington Post over a shameful story the outlet dropped late last week. WaPo claims that "six U.S. officials" said the Pentagon data on U.S. deaths in Iran is incorrect and that more Americans have died than we know about.
Here's what WaPo is claiming:QuoteMore American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six U.S. officials familiar with the Defense Department’s internal casualty accounting data.
Five of the officials said there have been at least 22 military fatalities — four more than what appears in the Pentagon’s public database, known as the Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS.
A sixth official, who like the others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the figures, said 23 service members have died since Feb. 28, when the Trump administration, in concert with Israel, initiated the Iran war. Not all of the undisclosed deaths are directly tied to the conflict but have involved U.S. personnel who were in the Middle East amid ongoing hostilities, this person said.
Once again, we have unnamed officials and anonymous sources. No on-the-record interviews, no actual data. Just the media narrative.
Hegseth responded to the WaPo and shamed them for their fake news.
"It's always anonymous sources with those jokers. The Washington Post doesn't have any credibility and hasn't had any for a very long time," Hegseth said. "I meant what said: they hate the President more than they love the country. That's why when he called them out as the fake news, he's been right from the beginning."
He continued, "We never would because of how much we cherish the lives of our service members, every single one of them. But even if we wanted to attempt to hide a combat death, we never would, and we never could. It's just not something the United States of America does. It's totally made up, it's fake, it's a lie. It's a headline they want to try to make us look bad, the President look bad, to try to undermine the historic success that we've had in that conflict."
"It's a joke; it should be dismissed as much," Hegseth added, "and it's unfortunate that that's what so-called journalism has descended to."
