Trump's getting his tariff priorities set...

 
Scotland’s first minister is leading efforts to persuade President-elect Donald Trump to exclude Scottish whisky from his plans to ratchet up tariffs on imports to the US. The incoming president repeatedly cited his close family and business ties to Scotland: Trump owns two heavily indebted Scottish golf courses, and his mother was born on the Hebridean island of Lewis, a connection the president-elect repeatedly references.
 

The Scottish whisky industry fears that its lucrative trade with the US, worth over $1bn a year, will again be hit heavily by his proposed new tariffs on all imports or by a resumption of trade wars once Trump takes office.

Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” on Thursday morning after winning the presidential election for the second time. Last year it was Taylor Swift on the cover, so he's in fairly elite company. Also gracing it's cover have been a diverse group, including Adolph Hitler, Pope John XXIII and Joseph Stalin.
The annual cover - which highlights an individual who has greatly influenced the year, for good or ill - is set to be unveiled today, with sources suggesting in advance that the president-elect will grace the cover again.

The Pentagon on Wednesday shot down a statement by a 
New Jersey Congressman that there is an “Iranian mothership off the coast of the United States launching … drone incursions.” The claim by U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew came as more and more people are seeing things in the sky they believe to be drones, blurring the line between hysteria and real national security concerns. The War Zone was the first to report about the New Jersey sightings that have since reached a fever pitch in the national consciousness. At the same time, the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed an incident with one of their ships off New Jersey that was followed by unidentified aircraft.

This is the front door of my brother's first house in Belfast. 
It was a really cool four story house with a great entrance, 
but the entire house was only 15' wide. It was built in 1918.

  1. Iranian drones, huh? As long as Barry the fairy and his boys are still in charge I'm not buying into this story.

  2. Drone flights over NJ?
    Not to worry; they're just filling in the empty spots the Chinese balloons missed. Wanted to get it done before the new management checks in.
