.@realDonaldTrump is quicker to attack Americans who disagree with him than stand up to adversaries abroad. What happened to America First?

Am I the only one who...

when one of the cable news outlets mentions "The President", thinks briefly that they mean Obama? I don't know why I do it, but I catch myself thinking it sometimes.

Serious question for whoever has an answer

We all know about email addresses and social media accounts being compromised...but how does a telephone number get compromised? Context: I received a phone call today from "Microsoft" saying they had detected some sort of a problem with my computer and that I needed to follow their directions to "fix" the "problem." I know this is a scam and I've gotten several similar telephone calls over time. I always enjoy messing with the people on the other end of these calls until they eventually hang up in frustration over my refusal to give them the right answers.

After the guy who called today hung up on me, I called the number and asked to be put on their Do Not Call list. The lady on the other end told me they didn't have a Do Not Call list because they don't make outgoing calls. She asked me the reason for my request and I explained to her what had happened. She said that someone had apparently compromised their telephone number. So, back to my original question--how does a telephone number get compromised?

The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!
