"...I have the slightest of acquaintances with Kellyanne (Conway), having been honored at the same event in Washington and enjoyed the pleasure of dining with her and her young 'uns.
No one other than the two principals can know the reality of a marriage, but I cannot imagine so loathing Donald Trump (which is after all a routine ailment throughout Washington, Manhattan and Beverly Hills) that I would be willing to do what George Conway is doing to his wife and the mother of his children.
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that Conway describes Kellyanne as "in a cult" and that their home life cannot heal "until she's cast out of the cult".
He is said to want to save his marriage, and, as all relationship consultants will tell you, the best way to save a marriage is to go on MSNBC and attack your wife's boss so that CNN can play it back to embarrass her in person a few hours later.
Who's the cult member here?..."

Michigan Capitol Confidential - Posts
"At a recent Ann Arbor school board meeting, teacher Alison Eberts recited the superintendent’s salary of $268,337 and then noted, “I’m not used to numbers that high.”
The compensation of some Michigan school district superintendents has also caught the attention of some lawmakers.
Republican State Rep. Matt Maddock introduced House Bill 5258 to prohibit school districts from paying superintendents a salary greater than four times a starting teacher’s salary at the district, or three times the average teacher’s salary at the district.
The bill was cosponsored by GOP Reps. Ryan Berman and Gary Eisen.
The average salary of an Ann Arbor teacher in 2017-18 was $71,546.
The lowest level of starting salaries for an Ann Arbor teacher is $41,342.
That would cap the superintendent’s salary at $214,638 (three times the average teacher’s salary).
The lower salary of four times the starting teacher’s salary was $165,368."

Impeachment Inquiry Public Hearings Leave Out Two Key Witnesses:
The House Intelligence Committee’s witness list for this week’s public hearings in the “impeachment inquiry” omits two witnesses whose closed-door sessions last month provided exculpatory evidence for President Donald Trump.

Aftonbladet’s Lena Mellin now acknowledges that Sweden’s attempt to integrate huge numbers of migrants from Africa and the Middle East has failed.
...Numerous people pointed out the hypocrisy of Mellin admitting she knew integration was failing yet still refusing to abandon her support for mass immigration.
“Incredible! Lena Mellin, of all journalists one of the foremost advocates for mass immigration and multiculturalism, one of the worst SD-haters, claims that ‘one has known for years’ that it would go to hell,” tweeted Ted Ekeroth..."
