Russia Succeeds At Placing Hostile Cyborgs Inside Trump White House (Satire)

Robot Stephen Miller leads a small but effective army of Kremlin-directed automatons trying to undermine the U.S. government

President Donald Trump exhibits almost none of the qualities of a sensate human being — compassion, empathy, the ability to love, discernment, basic intelligence, or common sense. This has made it virtually impossible for the president to detect other similarly insensate, mechanical entities that have infiltrated his inner circle.

And they surely have, according to sources inside the major U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA and FBI.

These sources say that highly-sophisticated Russian androids designed, built, and deployed directly by Vladimir Putin’s FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, formerly the KGB) have been placed inside the White House at an alarming rate since President Trump took office. Many were well-positioned within the Trump campaign as far back as 2015. And all have been programmed to sabotage, disrupt, undermine, and ultimately destroy American democracy from the inside.

The robotic pseudo-life forms that intelligence agents are most concerned about include Trump aide Stephen Miller (Model FSB4869), computerized son-in-law Jared Kushner (Model FSB2387J), advisor Kellyanne Conway (Model FSB9958), and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Model FSB1203PP).

Town lends helping hand for Puerto Rican students

Twenty-one students from Puerto Rico have temporarily continued their schooling in Braintree as the island continues to recover from the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

“The community has stepped up in a big way,” Mayor Joseph Sullivan said while speaking about the displaced students at Monday night’s school committee meeting.

Sullivan said the students were taken in by Braintree after a directive from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is also known as FEMA. Recently, Sullivan said the FEMA directive was extended for another month.

The mayor said thousands of Puerto Rican students are now sprinkled throughout towns and cities in Massachusetts as much of the island territory remains without power.

Five missing after Houston firm's rig explodes in Oklahoma

A fiery explosion at an Oklahoma drilling rig Monday left five people missing, including three employees of the rig's owner, Patterson-UTI Energy of Houston.

The explosion cut through the Patterson-UTI rig just before 9 a.m. Monday, according to Oklahoma authorities, and the Houston driller confirmed that three of its workers were among the missing at the Pittsburg County natural gas well site. Patterson-UTI said the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

"At this moment, no one knows with certainty what happened and it would be unwise to speculate," Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI's chief executive, said in a statement. "Well control experts and emergency responders are on site and we will conduct a thorough investigation when the incident is fully contained. "

Hendricks said the company was providing support to the families of the missing, whose names have not been released.

"There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our employees and others we partner with in the field, "Hendricks said. "Tonight, our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected and their loved ones."
