It sounds as if Mattis is going his own way. I don't know how this bodes. I can't read him.

It looks like he was the only not to praise Trump in THAT cabinet meeting:

“Mr. President, it’s an honor to represent the men and women of the Department of Defense,” he said. “We are grateful for the sacrifices our people are making in order to strengthen our military, so our diplomats always negotiate from a position of strength.”

Actually only beaten by Pruitt, who must have been jet lagged.

I read that Sean Spicer is in the running for the next US Ambassador to Ireland.

How I long to see Melissa McCarthy's Angry Spice performing Riverdance whilst dressed as a leprechaun.

Special counsel is investigating Jared Kushner’s business dealings

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is investigating the finances and business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, as part of the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

FBI agents and federal prosecutors have also been examining the financial dealings of other Trump associates, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Carter Page, who was listed as a foreign-policy adviser for the campaign.

*The Washington Post previously reported that investigators were scrutinizing meetings that Kushner held with Russians in December — first with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and then with Sergey Gorkov, the head of a state-owned Russian development bank. At the time of that report, it was not clear that the FBI was investigating Kushner’s business dealings.^

The officials who described the financial focus of the investigation spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The Trump administration often feels like its sailing perilously close to parody...

Remember how much Trump cares for the environment? Oh, typo, oil industry.

I think that ship has sunk by now.

More seriously, they can't get anyone else.

He most likely thought, 'Yeah, she's great at organising stuff. Big stuff. Eric's wedding was yuge. How is housing any different? It's just a different kind of organising, right?'

Love the click song! My mum's friend can sing a lullaby from a language that use clicks (she had to learn it and sing it in University where she studied phonetics) and I love listening to her sing it to her grandchildren, so beautiful.
