The HUD FB story is the second ad targeting story of the week. Earlier was job openings excluding older workers.

Meanwhile back at the course, Uncle Don and his twitter handle want Alex Jones to be treated fairly.

Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others......

.....Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..

....Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!


Is there anyone who is not in the Hate Club that is getting the cold shoulder from private businesses?

I don't know if you read the article (presumably not), but McGahn sure doesn't seem like he's motivated by the goal of protecting the institution of the presidency. The White House Counsel's Office (read: McGahn) was surprised Trump's personal lawyer wanted them to testify to the special counsel at all, so they weren't looking to cooperate to begin with. Having been put in this spot by Trump, McGahn feared he was being set up to take the fall legally, so decided to fully cooperate to save his own hide.

a couple of NATO pals:
The White House rejected Turkey's offer to release detained American pastor Andrew Brunson in exchange for the U.S. dropping an investigation into Turkish bank Halkbank, a senior White House official told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

Ankara offered to drop terrorism charges against Brunson if the U.S. pulled back the billions of dollars in fines it has brought against Halkbank. The U.S. reportedly declined the offer, setting in motion the possibility of further retaliatory measures against Turkey.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Shots were fired at a security booth outside the U.S. Embassy in Turkey’s capital early Monday, but U.S. officials said no one was hurt.

Private Ihlas news agency said four to five rounds were fired from a moving white car and targeted the booth outside Gate 6 at the embassy in Ankara. Police were searching for the car.

U.S. Embassy spokesman David Gainer thanked police for their “rapid response” and said no injuries had been reported.

one gone, 99 to go:
A White House speechwriter for President Trump was terminated last week after revelations that he had spoken at a conference attended by well-known white nationalists, according to three people familiar with the decision who were not authorized to speak publicly.

Darren Beattie, who was a visiting instructor at Duke University before he joined the White House speechwriting team, was fired Friday after a media inquiry about his appearance at the 2016 H.L. Mencken Club conference, where Beattie spoke on a panel alongside Peter Brimelow.

Brimelow, founder of the anti-immigrant website Vdare.com, is a “white nationalist” and “regularly publishes works by white supremacists, anti-Semites, and others on the radical right,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an advocacy group that tracks extremists.

Once White House officials were informed about CNN’s pending report, Beattie reportedly was confronted and urged to step down immediately. But he apparently refused to resign, arguing that he was not racist and that he had made uncontroversial academic points at the Mencken gathering. When it became clear that Beattie would not resign, the people familiar with the matter said, the White House terminated him.

Beattie worked for Vince Haley, the head of speechwriting at the White House and at times worked on speech projects for Stephen Miller, Trump’s top policy adviser and speechwriter, the people added.

Beattie, who holds a doctorate from Duke University, was one of the rare academics on the White House staff.

In 2016, he went public with his support for Trump and cited Trump’s hard-line immigration position as one of the key reasons for his victory.

“One of the signals for me is when Trump made his provocative remarks on immigration and then refused to apologize in the wake of overwhelming corporate and media opposition,” Beattie told the Chronicle, a newspaper at Duke.

Beattie wrote his doctoral thesis on Martin Heidegger, who was a member of the Nazi Party in Germany. Beattie has called Heidegger’s Nazi affiliation “highly troublesome” but maintained that his work is worthy of scholarly attention, according to a report by Forward magazine.

here's a second alt-right senate candidate:
Arizona Senate candidate Kelli Ward is defending her upcoming bus tour with, among others, far-right activist Mike Cernovich, a well-known provocateur associated with the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory.

her husband is a conspiracy believer
"I don't really know what Mike Cernovich's views are," Ward said. "I know he's got an audience and we want to serve everyone."

she knows his views because her husband believes them, but i guess we're just supposed to believe candidates go on a bus tour with people we don't know anything about! no vetting

I missed reporting on Friday that space force logos had been released through a trump pac. Donald wants the people to pick the logo, and then there's a promise of hats and t-shirts for sale of course. Not only are most of the logos sort of cartoony, including one that says something like next stop Mars, but there's a straight-up rip off of the classic NASA logo.
