On Saturday, the Washington Post reported that smugglers have sliced holes in the new sections of Trump�s border wall with a common and readily available power tool, large enough for people to pass through.

�The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as $100,� reported the Post. �When fitted with easily purchasable specialized blades(available for as little as $9.99/ea at Home Depot), the diamond-tipped or Tungsten Carbide saws can slice through one of the barrier�s steel-and-concrete bollards in a matter of minutes, according to the agents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the barrier-defeating techniques.�

After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the steel out of the way, allowing an adult to fit through the gap. Because the bollards are so tall � and are attached only to a panel at the very top � their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling.

In the San Diego area, smugglers have figured out how to cut the bollards and return them to their original positions, disguising the breaches in the hope that they will go unnoticed and can be reused for repeated passage. Agents said they have learned to drive along the base of the structure looking for subtle defects, testing the metal by kicking the bollards with their boots.

BUILD THAT WALL. And then kick the slats with your boots every 30 minutes.

The steel bollards only have approx 10' vertical fill of concrete above the concrete base. We could fill the remaining empty steel slats with water and populate them with baby alligators and malaria mosquitoes.

The newly released cache of memos from former special counsel Robert Mueller�s investigation into President Donald Trump�s contacts with Russia contained several new startling facts � one of which was that, according to political consultant Rick Gates� testimony to federal prosecutors, former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn suggested he could use his connections to the intelligence community to get Hillary Clinton�s supposedly �missing� emails, then an obsession of Trump�s.

�Gates recalled a time on the campaign aircraft when candidate Trump said, �get the emails,'� said the memo. �Flynn said he could use his intelligence sources to obtain the emails.�

Flynn, who briefly served as Trump�s National Security Adviser, initially cooperated with prosecutors after pleading guilty to false statements himself, but later unsuccessfully tried to challenge the legitimacy of the Mueller investigation in court. His sentencing is scheduled to take place in December.

Republican insiders are fearful that Facebook could reverse course and ban political ads before the 2020 elections which would strike a crippling blow to Donald Trump�s re-election campaign.

Following in the footsteps of Twitter booting the ads off of its platform, White House insiders are afraid Facebook will follow suit after taking a beating over the past few weeks by saying they would allow any misleading paid political ad.

According to the report, �Top Republicans are privately worried about a new threat to President Trump�s campaign: the possibility of Facebook pulling a Twitter and banning political ads,� adding, �Facebook says it won�t, but future regulatory pressure could change that. If Facebook were to ban � or even limit � obvious lies, it could upend Trump�s fundraising and re-election plan, GOP officials tell Axios. �

According to the report, the Trump campaign has been focusing resources on Facebook where they hope to reach the type of people who get their information from the social media platform despite a lack of rigorous fact-checking.

Axios notes, the president�s �campaign has mastered the art of using Facebook�s precision-targeting of people to raise money, stir opposition to impeachment, move voters and even sell Trump shirts and hats.�

Republicans are terrified that Mark Zuckerburg has a conscience or maybe a heart. Or any commitment to democracy and fair elections.

I think the GOP will be okay.

Millenials: We hate you for the content of your character and your actions. Not the color of your skin.

Boomers: NOOOOOOOO!

quote:

Baby boomers who cried �Don�t Trust Anyone Over 30� during the Vietnam War should be scared to death of millennials. Because, at least among the Twitterati, they hate us � they really, really hate us.

Last week I took a beating from younger readers over an essay I wrote lamenting the decline of the �power lunch.� Although it only partly blamed the phenomenon on millennial habits � e.g., preferring avocado and kale to beef and baked potatoes � hundreds of thousands on Twitter either posted or retweeted such insults as �Old man yells at lunch table� (I�m 69), �What�s it like to be an antique?� and �We�re the ones doing the actual lunches while you�re having three-martini lunches.�

Millennials (and to some extent their Gen-X and Gen-Z brethren) hate their elders with a ferocity never before seen in our culture. Egged on by the media-savvy likes of 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, they blame prolonged heat waves on boomers who supposedly stood by and cheered as the Earth went up in flames. The phrase �OK BOOMER� has now become young people�s �repeated retort to the problem of older people who just don�t get it,� marking �the end of friendly generational relations,� The New York Times declared last week. According to the article, a teen designer has already sold $10,000 worth of sweatshirts with the �OK BOOMER� slogan repeated many times on the front, ending with the line, �Have a terrible day.�

Generation gaps will always be with us. Historian Marc Wortman found a generational split over sending young men off to war way back in 1941. But unlike those of us who came of age in the 1960s-early 1970s, who merely disapproved of our elders� �colonialist� wars and shag rugs, millennials (born between 1980-1994) can�t stand the air we boomers breathe.

Too many millennials whine that their complacent elders bequeathed them a rotten America and a rotten world � economic malaise that will leave them with lousier lives than their parents and a planet on fire from climate change. But if they spent more time studying actual history, which can�t easily be found on iPhones, they�d know that boomers were, and remain, the most socially and environmentally conscious generation America ever has ever known. Maybe too much so � our universities� overwhelmingly �progressive� agendas originated in the 1960s and have become more dominant ever since.

For all our deep divisions, the United States is an immeasureably more open, diverse and tolerant society than it was in the 1950s. Boomers also won the Cold War against Communist tyranny and along the way brought us unprecedented prosperity and technological innovation. The latter includes the made-in-USA digital revolution that brought forth the gadgets without which millennials couldn�t get out of bed.

While some millennials are truly committed to constructive change, many more seem to be upset mainly because they have to �work too hard.� Their lust to become CEOs at 25 without first paying their dues or even learning the business is hilariously satirized on �The Millennials,� a �Saturday Night Live� segment where a vapid young woman demands a promotion after three days on the job.

�Millennials hate their elders with a ferocity never before seen in our culture�
Plenty of ambitious, future-focused millennials work their hearts out at taxing, low-paying jobs. But many �working� members of their generation wear their resentment on their un-ironed sleeves.

They�re out to lunch in a different way. They seem allergic to using the phone, or even waiting on customers. A stoned Starbucks clerk, after asking me to endlessly repeat my order for a grande coffee, then repeating it to himself, asked me, �What were you having?� The zoned-out guy at Duane Reade took a $5 bill from me and inexplicably asked me what my phone number was � to the amused tittering of decidedly older customers in line behind me.

There�s no question that many younger Americans face challenging economic conditions. Despite record-high employment, many new jobs are low-paying, short-term, lacking in benefits and are subject to instant termination without warning.

Student loans, which many recipients think should be forgiven, may indeed cost more than they did when I was in college.

But is it really that much more? Despite horror stories about six-figure debt, college grads owed an average $29,200 for student loans in 2018, according to the nonprofit Institute for College Access & Success. That�s barely more than the $4,000 I owed when I graduated in 1971 � which was $25,249 adjusted for inflation in 2019 dollars.

How did I pay it off? Rather than expect instant transport into the corridors of corporate power, I, like most of my friends, worked my butt off in backbreaking, sometimes dangerous jobs that offered no more guarantees or benefits than many companies confer today.

Maybe today�s young workers who resent lunching at their desks would prefer busing tables in a high-volume steakhouse under merciless, slave-driving owners, instead?

This is one hell of a desperate suicide note.

Legalize euthanasia.

Trump has �grown enraged� as he watches who he deems �his employees� testifying against him, a person who regularly speaks with the president reported to The Post.

While the president typically avoids his national security briefings, he�s demanding copies of witness statements so he can work out the best way to attack them. He�s complaining to his lawyers that they�re not doing enough to obstruct justice by stopping people from testifying. He�s even telling allies in Congress to attack his own White House staff if they agree to appear.
