Another Day, Another World ……

Another day and what world you see depends on what you read and what station you watch. The President’s successful (thus far) foreign trip, not big news on the MSM. Report a good performance? No way, let Fox do that. We’ll cover the Montana congressional race and the CBO report first. And oh yea, there’s another Russian report we need to tell you about. Then we have some Manchester news. Finally the President arrived in Brussels. Remember what he said about this city and NATO in the campaign? Here watch this. That’s the MSM today.
So tell us what you’re reading and watching and we’ll tell you how you see the world.

The President’s Trip:

It continues to go well and Rasmussen daily tracking reports this AM it has impacted his perception with the American people. They have 48% approving his job performance, a new high. 52% continue to say they disapprove. We’ll monitor other tracking services which have not been as positive for him.

FALN Update:

Three more sponsors withdrew yesterday. AT&T, Corona beer and Coca-Cola. The issue is gaining steam and the controversy is growing. As we reported two weeks ago, in this era  how can the City honor a terrorist?
Here are the remaining sponsors. Any surprises for you?
WNBC-TV; the New York Daily News; City University and the United Federation of Teachers.
Don’t forget the Mayor and Governor are still attending.

The CBO Report:

Readers of this blog know that the report is no surprise. We repeat, you can’t give free insurance to millions, reduce deductibles,  open networks and reduce costs. So CBO (not always right by the way, they missed big time on Obamacare) says:
— 23 Million would lose coverage. (First bill said 24 million)
— Premiums would fall for younger people and rise for older people.
— The deficit would be reduced by $119 Billion over ten years. (First bill said $150 Billion)
The report did say, “in states that made moderate changes to their markets, representing about one-third of the U.S. population, premiums would fall 20 percent on average”.

The Montana Election:

It was a close election scheduled for today to fill Montana’s one congressional seat. After last night and the Republican candidate actually beating upon a reporter it appears that in the most red of states the seat will go Democratic.
It lends credibility to the belief that 2018 could be a huge Democratic wave election putting Schumer and Pelosi back in control of Congress.
Here’s a story on it from The Hill:

The British are angry over U.S. leaks:

BBC reported that the United Kingdom has now stopped passing intelligence gathered as part of the investigation into the Manchester bombing to the United States. The reason. When British police had discovered the identity of Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber, his name was withheld from the media initially for operational reasons. Yet, less than 24 hours after the attack took place, American newspapers citing “government sources” were able to name the attacker.
