Robert Mueller: ‘Many’ news stories on Trump-Russia probe are wrong

You could replace the word "wrong" with "fake" and not lose any of the meaning. Also of note is the word "many". Now he doesn't say WHICH stories are wrong, nor the details involved. But given the mis-reporting by Brian Ross pertaining to Michael Flynn, the mis-reporting concerning Donald Trump Jr, the mis-reporting about when the Trump people saw the WikiLeaks documents, and the fact that this link is not from any major news network, Mueller's comments here are unlikely to be heeded. Not by our news media, who still prize being FIRST over being CORRECT, and CERTAINLY not by the millions of people who are still looking to Robert Mueller the way Princess Leia looked to Obi-Wan Kenobi: "...you're our only hope."

Starbucks CEO: Employees to Get 'Unconscious Bias' Training

Back in 2013, former Starbucks CEO (and budding left-wing activist) Howard Schultz made waves when he publicly stated that customers carrying their firearms were not welcome in stores. Then in 2015, Schultz asked baristas to "Race Together" by encouraging difficult conversations as people were waiting for coffee before work. Later in 2015, a uniformed police officer in a Philadelphia Starbucks was told that he couldn't use the restroom without paying $12 for their cheapest coffee. So fast forward to this weekend - at the same Philly Starbucks, no less - and NOW the Starbucks CEO (different guy this time) is trying to avoid any responsibility by placing the blame on the cops. News flash, genius, YOUR people called the cops!! So if anyone is wondering, the answer is no, I'm not shedding any tears over Starbucks' problems at this point in time...

Amazon Charts Top 20 Books

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist and professor. He's perhaps most famous for his recent interview for this book whereby the female interrogator (if you've seen the interview, you'll understand my word choice) is left absolutely speechless by Peterson's rather reasoned defense of his position. As a result of this exchange, Peterson's book has been ranked at or near the top of Amazon's best seller list for a couple months now. As of this link, his book is #1 Most Read and #2 Most Sold (was #1 last week). Why do I bring this up? Try to find Peterson's very popular book on the New York Times best seller list. I went back four or five weeks before NYT asked me for money. No trace. More evidence of media bias? Well, what do YOU think?

In Opinion: FBI Director James Comey is unfit for public service
