Vicente Fox, the former President of Mexico, is in the news for dropping an F-bomb on a live CNN broadcast. He really dislikes Drumpf and has a series of videos on YouTube calling Drumpf out for the “wall” and statements about Latinos. Drop his name into the a search engine and they pop up. most of them are funny if you aren’t a Republican.

It is really annoying that the Prime Minister of Canada is fluent in French and English; the President of Mexico is fluent in Spanish and English; but the President of the United States is only fluent in gibberish.

The Wall Street Journal [via Crooks & Liars and Charlie Pierce] has reported that Robert Mueller has empaneled a second grand jury for the probe into Russian interference in the US election. There is an existing grand jury in Virginia that was empaneled earlier for the part of the probe that involves Michael Flynn.

The new jury was empaneled in Washington DC, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a third jury wasn’t empaneled in New York City at some point in the future. Mueller’s hires make it obvious that he is following the money, and that means the New York/New Jersey real estate market.

I have been busy learning how to use my new flashlight, level, compass, calculator, magnifying glass, camera that also includes a phone. I’m also cleaning up and reformatting some data for a long-time [decades] client, so I avoided a lot of things.

It was nice to see that almost two-thirds of the country figured out what a loser Drumpf is – Trump Approval Lowest Ever: “President Donald Trump plunges to a new low as American voters disapprove 61 – 33 percent of the job he is doing, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.”
