[The Miami bridge collapse embarrasses me as an engineer – such screw-ups are supposed to occur only in third world countries. And then we find that this was a 'shovel ready' project from the past, designed by the nearby university, that took five years of bureaucratic buffeting before being awarded to a problem-plagued construction firm. And it turns out that the Left did another number on CIA's Deputy Director Haspel nominated by Trump to be the new CIA head. They lied about her involvement in past waterboardings by the agency, which even if true, is to me and mine no reason to doubt her ability to lead that organization. gjr]

Todd 5:52–“The HuffPost displays left wing bias through story selection and word choices. They typically source to credible media and information. Overall, we rate the HuffPost Left Biased and High for factual news reporting”
— Yes Todd , slightly biased toward the left, but factual none-the-less. Not as bad as your favorite Fox News.
“Fox News Channel has been accused of biased reporting and promoting the Republican Party and has been deemed the least accurate cable news source.”
Certainly more accurate than Breitbart–“The content ranges from extreme right wing bias to conspiracy to racism. Breitbart has been accused of publishing fake news for the purpose of a political agenda.”

In the “I ain’t no liar” dept. Last week trump said, “The state of California is begging us to build walls in certain areas. They don’t tell you that. And we said no, we won’t do it until we build the whole wall.” This bit of pure fiction was given a “pants on fire” truth rating by Politifact.

Facebook was heartily criticized for not checking that Cambridge-Analytica had deleted information obtained on 50 million users and was able to access that information throughout the entirety of the campaign.”
BUT,,,BUT,, BUT!!!!!!
“According to former director of Obama for America’s Integration and Media Analytics Carol Davidsen said that Facebook was “surprised” to discover the firm was able to “suck out” such a breadth of data on users, “but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing.”
Additionally, Davidsen claims Facebook was “very candid” in explaining to the campaign “that they allowed [them] to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.” ”

The Trump administration has improved diplomatic ties with Taiwan in the past two years. President Trump broke years of informal protocol by speaking to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on the phone following his election, as the fellow head of state called to congratulate him on being elected president. Tsai also briefly visited the United States in October, a layover in Hawaii that Beijing called “deplorable.”
