FOIA docs show FDA’s data on kratom deaths is complete propaganda

ORIGINAL LINK

As the FDA fearmongers over alleged Kratom associated deaths, documents on these deaths reveal that the American people are being lied to.(TFTP) Last Month, Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, issued a public health advisory on kratom, outlining concerns about its “deadly risks.” However, Nick Wing, a senior reporter at the HuffPost, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Food and Drug Administration to put a second set of eyes on these allegedly ...

WaPo Reporter Tweets Picture Of Empty Trump Speech, Gets Called Out By Trump And Retracts

ORIGINAL LINK

A day after CNN botched a hit-job on President Trump - which came a week after an erroneous ABC report on General Flynn sent stocks tumbling, which came a month after Bloomberg's Justin Sink launched "KoiGate" during President Trump's trip to Japan - the Washington Post's David Weigel hopped on the Fake News bandwagon and tweeted a photo of an empty arena before a Trump rally in Florida - hours before the event started.

Trump responded to Weigel's tweet, saying the WaPo reporter had "put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived." 

.@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo! pic.twitter.com/XAblFGh1ob

Let's take a closer look at those pics.

Weigel - who had already been fired once by the Washington Post once in 2010 over political bias only to be rehired in 2015, deleted the tweet - saying that Davide Martosko of the Daily Mail told him he'd gotten it wrong. 

Sure thing: I apologize. I deleted the photo after @dmartosko told me I'd gotten it wrong. Was confused by the image of you walking in the bottom right corner. https://t.co/fQY7GMNSaD

Martosko seemed surprised:

I told you?

Trump took the opportunity to ding the MSM "opposition party," referring to suspended ABC News correspondent Brian Ross as a "fraudster" at the rally, a week after Ross published fake news that former National Security advisor Michael Flynn had directed Trump to make contact with Russian officials during the campaign. ABC later corrected the report - but not after it sent the Dow spiraling 350 points. Trump suggested people who lost money "consider hiring a lawyer and using ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused - many millions of dollars!" 

People who lost money when the Stock Market went down 350 points based on the False and Dishonest reporting of Brian Ross of @ABC News (he has been suspended), should consider hiring a lawyer and suing ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused - many millions of dollars!

Trump also took shots at CNN during the rally after the network was forced to make a major correction to a story on Friday in which they said Donald Trump Jr. received documents from Wikileaks on September 4, 2016 before they had been officially released, when in fact, a random person emailed him a link to publicly available documents on September 14. 

CNN corrected the report, issuing the following statement.

CNN originally reported the email was released September 4 -- 10 days earlier -- based on accounts from two sources who had seen the email. The new details appear to show that the sender was relying on publicly available information. The new information indicates that the communication is less significant than CNN initially reported.

Trump shot back, tweeting "Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his mistake)," Trump wrote. "Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?" It is worth noting that Ross was not fired but rather suspended for 4 weeks.

With the "resistance" MSM reporting story after story which either coincidentally or due to the underlyuing bias, turns to be faker and faker news, and Robert Mueller's Special Counsel stacked with very, very, very, very biased investigators which are being revealed in bombshell after bombshell, one has to wonder who will believe whatever 'grand scheme' of collusion or whatever it is that Mueller is probing these days, they accuse Trump of next in what seems like an endless witch hunt through an upside-down rabbit hole.

Trump Continues What He Once Called the Biggest Hoax in American Politics – Ep. 307

ORIGINAL LINK
A Nonfarm Payroll Beat Today the labor department released the November jobs report -  Nonfarm Payroll -  of course Wall Street always highly anticipates this number; all the politicians, Donald Trump was ready to tweet as soon as the data was released.  The expectation was for 190,000 jobs and we beat, with 228,000 jobs. An Even Bigger Hoax The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, which prompted President Trump to tweet, "The unemployment rate remains at a 17-year low of 4.1%. Now remember, when Trump is running for office he called 5% unemployment "The biggest hoax in American history", claiming that the rate was really 30, 40, 50%.  Well if 5% was the biggest hoax in American history, what's 4.1?%? It's an even bigger hoax. Disappointing Numbers So THIS is the biggest hoax in American history, except that the difference is now Trump is the purveyor of that hoax.  He is no longer calling it out, he is now participating in the same hoax that he criticized in order to get elected.  The numbers that missed were the average hourly earnings, which, again, everybody keeps talking about how earnings are going to go up; they were looking for a .3% increase in average hourly earnings following flat earnings the previous month.  Not only did they not get .3%, they got +.2%, but they revised last month's 0% to -.1%. So really, very disappointing numbers on the wages. Labor Force Participation Labor Force Participation rate held steady at 62.7%; that's near the lowest it has been in this cycle.  And again, if you look at where the jobs were, we did manage to create 31,000 manufacturing jobs.  We have had a boost in manufacturing jobs, despite the fact that we are not seeing it in the trade balance, because we have the worst trade deficit in five years, so I don't really know what everybody's manufacturing, if we're not exporting it, or if it is not reducing our imports.
