Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

‘A natural’: Donald Trump Jr. emerges as a campaign star, despite Russia baggage
President Trump was watching Fox News Channel with aides in his private dining room off the Oval Office recently when Donald Trump Jr. flashed across the giant flat screen.
“Don’s gotten really good,” Trump said, according to someone who was present. “My people love him.”

Susan Bro, a year after her daughter's murder:

"I turned my attention to carrying forth her message. You don’t get to silence my kid and get away with it. I'm going to speak even louder."

This was mentioned on CNN New Day today, along with a comment that it was not just Omerosa's thing to record stuff. They also played her recording of her 'phone call with the Oaf, after Kelly fired her, where he claims to know nothing about it and 'that can't be right (or similar phrase). This is sucking a lot of air out of the newsroom, so in distraction terms a win for the Oaf.

The White House believes there could be dozens of other Omarosa tapes.
Omarosa Manigault Newman said that she had recorded conversations because “this is a White House where everybody lies.”

Susan Bro continues in dignity to show strength, courage and character in the face of the tragedy she has suffered. She truly honours her daughter's memory.

Stephen Miller is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

NorthW I just came on to link that Stephen Miller article, it's very thought provoking.

His family don't think much of him then!

Yes Rousette I can't imagine having such a person in my family. The piece by Stephen Millar's uncle- David Glosser - is remarkable even if you set aside his connection to SM (who always reminds me of Nosferatu)

Trump's phone call with Omarosa. I'm conflicted about Omarosa. On the one hand, she's obviously ambitious and a street fighter. On the other, I'm uncomfortable with the easy portrayal of the only African American on the WH senior staff as flaky lowlife.
