One of my postings last week reported on the whistleblower catalyzing the imminent doom of President Trump. Amazingly enough, almost a week later, even Trump, apparently, is trying to identify exactly who he/she is, while from the other side of his mouth, spewing invectives about he/she being a deep spy who must be a Democrat. While there still is no official name, a CIA officer detailed to the White House keeps coming up as that person.
- Trump first indicated that there is no actual whistleblower. Then the next day, HIS Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General, confirmed that the complainant met the legal qualifications to be treated as a whistleblower. That's Michael Atkinson, the person in-charge.
- Then, the whistleblower only has second hand information. Yesterday, turns out he/she has both second-hand (meaning there are others involved) and direct info.
- Followed by Trump saying that almost everything the whistleblower said about the Ukraine call is wrong and inaccurate. Yet, a summary of the call showed everything was right and accurate.
- On Sunday, Trump tweeted he deserves to meet his accuser. There is an actual $50,000 bounty on the whistleblower identity. But maybe you shouldn't take this offer too seriously, as it was made by lobbyist Jack Burkman and convervative operative Jacob Wohl, serial hoaxers who also publicized $100,000 for information about the true story of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide.
The danger for The Donald, however, is not the impeachment itself. How many more revelations will surface when those classified transcripts are made available to the Congress? Now we have Australia. There no doubt will be more whistleblowers. Will Trump then take the Nixon-path of resignation when he chooses to defy the House of subpoenaed documents.
There is something deliciously ironic about 79-year old Speaker Nancy Pelosi squeezing the .... of this poster old man for misogyny. Here are 61 things 73-year old Donald Trump has said about women (go to the article for the rest):
- On Arianna Huffington "Unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man — he made a good decision." [Aug. 28, 2012]
On Megyn Kelly "She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." [Aug. 7, 2015]
On Rosie O'Donnell “If I were running The View, I'd fire Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, I'd look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I'd say, 'Rosie, you're fired.'" [2006]- On the #MeToo movement "You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women. If you admit to anything and any culpability, then you're dead. … You've got to be strong. You've got to be aggressive. You've got to push back hard. You've got to deny anything that's said about you. Never admit." [Via Bob Woodward's Fear: Trump in the White House]

Typhoon Mitag caused damage to Taiwan, Okinawa and China, but has just about now weakened into a tropical storm, and is approaching South Korea:
Mitag is the 18th named storm of the year in the Western Pacific Ocean, which historically has twice the number of ocean storms than the Atlantic Ocean. The bad news for me is that there is no end-of-the year for these storms in the Orient. They can come at any time.
The Atlantic, however, does now have a record-breaking hurricane named Lorenzo, who this weekend attained 160 MPH, and no other storm has become so powerful so far north and east. Not only are the Azores threatened, but, with some weakening, Lorenzo is projected to then head for the UK as a tropical storm.
