UPDATE: The original link for this story has now been taken down. Less than an hour after I posted it.

UPDATE II: I’m trying to figure out why the original story was deleted. Any chance this is a spoof Twitter account?

But it’s all over Twitter. JK Rowling herself posted it. Here is her link:

It was deleted, of course….but nothing is ever really gone anymore.

Nothing really left to add. I’ll keep digging to see if anyone else pics it up as a story and if I can find something I’ll update the diary.

BUT WAIT….there’’s more!

Did he also admitting on using Assange to go after Hillary??

Forgive me if this has already been blogged. I must have missed it yesterday if it had.

April Ryan, a reporter and veteran White House correspondent for the American Urban Radio Networks, claims Manigault “physically intimidated” her and spewed threats that the Trump administration had damning “dossiers” on her and several other African-American journalists. She said the exchange, which occurred just outside Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s West Wing office Wednesday, Feb. 8, was nearly enough to warrant Secret Service intervention.

Omarosa has responded with the traditional Trump claim of “Fake news” but there were witnesses.

A handful of White House press office staffers and Washington Post reporter Abby Phillip were among witnesses to the Manigault v. Ryan showdown, according to The Washington Post. Phillip told the newspaper she did not hear every word of the heated exchange but said Ryan reiterated that the former reality-TV star’s demeanor was so threatening that law enforcement could have gotten involved.

In a normal presidency, this would have been a YUGE story.

This won’t be along dairy, but I’m going to ask a question that has been bugging me all day. I’ve done some research and reading, but I can’t seem to find a definitive answer.

Does Trump need congressional approval for these executive orders?

Is there any way for Congress to put a stop to them?

Iowa Republican hangs up on CBC reporter when she starts asking for actual facts

I love CBC radio and I love Carol Off. Over the years she has made me cry and made me laugh. Today she made me howl.

She conducted a phone interview with a Republican who’s an Iowa State Representative. He is planning to introduce a bill called “Suck it up, Buttercup” and it would be directed at Universities that he feels are coddling students by allowing them to protest the election results.

It didn’t go as he planned.

Carol wanted facts.

O: And where have you seen the coddling on campuses?

BK: I'm not ready to point fingers on specifics but I think we've all seen the reports across the entire country. We've seen them live on reports from reputable media sources. I have people reaching out to me from different states saying, hey, my kid, at this particular college today, the professor was actively discussing the possibility of bringing in a pony — a miniature pony so that people could use it to feel better about the election.

CO: Can I ask you where did that happen? Where was the discussion about bringing a pony to school?

BK: My job is to be finding this out. I'm not prepared to name names right now. I'm doing an investigation.

CO: I'm not asking you to name names — just where did it happen?

BK: Okay… [hangs up]

LOL

They called him back though…

That was all the time we got with Iowa Representative Bobby Kaufmann, before he hung up on us. When we called him back, he said simply, "I don't speak to media outlets with an agenda."

Edit: I totally forgot to put in the link!!

Not like it’s really going to impact the election or anything, but The Associate Press has their hands on some documents…

The documents obtained by the AP show she was compensated for the modelling jobs that she worked between Sept. 10 and Oct. 15 of that year, altogether worth $20,056. During this time, her visa allowed her to be in the U.S. and look for work, but not perform paid work. The documents consist of detailed accounting ledgers, her contract and related papers.

Nothing really left to say is there? I don’t think they have said anything that even resembles the truth.

Journalism Prof backs up People magazine. Reporter phoned him after Trump assaulted her

The CBC is reporting that Paul McLauchlin a Journalism Prof from Ryerson University in Toronto took a phone call from a former student, namely Natasha Stoynoff, after she was assaulted by Donald Trump while working for People Magazine.

McLaughlin said Stoynoff was "really confused about how to deal with" the incident because of Trump's status.

"She was writing for People magazine, and Donald Trump was a cover story person," he said.

The sad part is the advice he gave her, while accurate, is heartbreaking. If she DID go after Trump, he would go after her with “guns blazing”. He was completely right.

Of course...this means that the RNC are now going after thim.

Responding to McLaughlin's account, Mica Mosbacher, former finance co-chair of the Republican National Convention and Fox News commentator, dismissed it as "hearsay."

"It is one individual, one person, whose credibility I don't know," she told The Current.

Billy Bush asked to take a "break" from Today

Well, so much for standing by their man.

An NBC News spokesperson confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Bush will not be at work Monday on the NBC show’s 9 a.m. hour. The decision comes after a weekend in which audio of him exchanging sexist remarks with Trump ran in heavy rotation on cable news.

The LA Times goes on to say that Al Roker, who was supposed to be off for this medical reasons this week will be coming to work instead. I can't help but think he’s a little giddy about it.

How long will the “break” be is anyones guess. A lot will depend on NBC's stomach and how much they can risk a lawsuit if they tried to dismiss him. There is some interesting discussion about that at the bottom of the article. Worth more than just a scan.

How does she go high when they go low?

I’ve been thinking about this since Pussygate hit on Friday and The Donald talked himself into the corner. How can Hillary go high when he goes so low? (yay Michelle!)

He is not a rational thinker. We know that. She knows that. He’s not a man of reason. He acts and re-acts. He’s going to come out tonight swinging at Hillary with a bat in the shape of her Husband. How does she defend herself against such an attack.

Does she own up to Bill’s history and say that what happens between a Husband and Wife is private and has no bearing on her ability to do the job as President?

Does she fire back at Donald that any criticism of her and Bill’s actions won’t work unless he takes a closer look at his own personal history? (multiple marriages, gag orders, etc)?

Does she portray herself as the stalwart, Stand By Your Man- wife?

I see none of these as being particularly appealing. What do you all see as being her best option to deflect this to subjects that really matter?

Dr. who declared Trump "healthiest candidate ever" speaks

Dr. Harold Bornstein spoke with NBC about the letter her wrote declaring Trump to be the Healthiest Candidate Ever. He admits to writing it in 5 minutes while the limo was waiting outside to pick it up. But he based that statement on his observations of the previous Presidents.

He went on to say that the Oval Office has been occupied by presidents with dementia or tumors or even men who were "paranoid" or "psychotic."

Wow….this guy is a real winner. But he did elaborate a bit more.

"I don't think he's in any better or worse than the average person that goes and exercises every single day," he said. "Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink — and that's simply the best advantage you can have to live — and he's got a good family history."

At least he’s honest about why he did it..

"I like Donald Trump because I think he likes me," he said

This will be a pretty brief diary as the news is still coming in.,

3 members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been killed in the city of Moncton, New Brunswick. Two more are in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The shootings began around supper time and the suspect has not been apprehended. He has been identified as a 24 year old citizen of the town named Justin Bourque.
