So President Dipshit is mobilizing the national guard to protect the border from... tumbleweeds? The caravan of central americans who will be presenting themselves to CBP to apply for asylum?
Gee I hope those troops have an Audible account.

More potentially-Orwellian stuff from Trump and Co.
Homeland Security to compile database of journalists, media influencers
The Department of Homeland Security posted a contract request this week for "Media Monitoring Services," which will compile a database of hundreds of thousands of journalists, bloggers and "media influencers" for the federal government. After an outcry on social media, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman tweeted "this is nothing more than the standard practice of monitoring current events in the media."
The work request from DHS seeks a firm that has the ability to monitor up to 290,000 global news sources; ability to track media coverage in up to 100 languages and the ability to "track online, print, broadcast, cable, radio, trade and industry publications, local sources, national/international outlets, traditional news sources, and social media."
The work request also seeks the ability to build lists of journalists based on beat, location, outlet type/size and journalist role. Creating an online "media influence database" is also included.Comment

Some recent articles that I think make some good points about Trump's tactics:
About his attacks on Amazon:
His trade war idiocy:
And this one made me look up if I have a Sinclair owned TV station in my market. I don't. But KUTV is. Figures. That was always the UTE station when I was growing up.
see this one first if you're not familiar with the story:

'The farmers will be better off than they ever were,' the president said.
President Donald Trump on Monday attempted to reassure American farmers staring down market uncertainty amid an escalating trade dispute with China, which has threatened to level hefty tariffs on soybeans and other agricultural goods.
“We’ll make it up to them,” Trump told reporters ahead of a meeting with his cabinet. “The farmers will be better off than they ever were. It will take a little while to get there, but it could be very quick, actually.

Trade war with China looks to be over... before it even started:
China's Xi promises to lower tariffs this year, open economy further
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday promised to open the country's economy further and lower import tariffs on products including cars, in a speech seen as conciliatory amid rising trade tensions between China and the United States.
While most of the pledges were reiterations of previously announced measures, Xi's comments sent U.S. stock futures, the dollar and Asian shares higher.
