The weekly rag of our small town, Republican thru and thru. Which has supported Sessions forever.
Says Sessions' recusal of helping trump is a blot on his record, and now suggests Sessions be able to
" assure" that he is as reliable to the party, if he wants this area of the state to support him.
Democrat Dough Jones won Session's congress seat when Jeff went to trump land. Got the majority vote in our county, too.
Feels like a change is gonna come.
Our raging Republican paper is NOT offering unconditional support for Sessions.

Had the same personal addy for 14 years. But our ISP provider had moved our e-mail to Yahoo a few years go. So we have to have Yahoo addresses just so email can be sent to our frontier email account.
The email was from a friend's Yahoo address.. It said she was traveling and needed to buy a birthday present for her niece.
(I know she has one niece. )
but the return address on that email was her name & outlook dot com, instead of yahoo. aha!I
being curious to find out the whole scheme, I asked how I could help.
Well....all "she" wanted was for me to buy 500.00 worth of google game cards. in 100.00 denominations,
and scrape off the back to reveal the pin, then take a photo of the pins and forward the pics to them.
that's quite a sum of money, so I asked them which niece it was for, and gave them 2 fictitious names to choose from.
Didn't get an answer back for over 30 minutes.
they just answered, had picked one of the names.
Can you believe that?
I'm debating if I want to play with them a bit more or just blowing them off with a serious secret answer question.
The real problem is I called my friend, she said yeah, she's heard from quite a few people by now, and had changed her Yahoo password yesterday.
So I sent her a test email at her Yahoo address, asking her to call me back, and guess what?
she got that email.
and so did the scammer, who gave an excuse why it could not call me.
which means they are intercepting her yahoo emails STILL.???
Looks like I need to get a one of those highly rated private email services....like Start Page now has.
I just got my first e-mail scam on my personal e-mail address

back in 2012, but one of trump's lawyers got the Manhattan DA to drop the charges.
Money was involved.
That Manhattan DA is still the Manhatten DA. Cyrus Vance Jr.
the one people are now counting on to press charges against trump and his minions and his kids.
Here's the story:
