				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With personnel leaving at a record rate, most recently Tom Bossert, the Homeland Security Advisor, Pres. Trump appears close to a deal with Manpower (<a title="Link to Manpower" href="https://www.manpowergroup.com" target="_blank">ManpowerGroup</a>) to fill cabinet and other high level positions with temporary contract workers.</p>
<div id="attachment_553" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Halfalert_Manpower-ad_ChiefStaff_20180910.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-553" alt="ManpowerGroup job ad" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Halfalert_Manpower-ad_ChiefStaff_20180910-300x231.jpg" width="300" height="231" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Big vacancy coming? Click for full size image.</p></div>
<p>Recent openings posted on the ManpowerGroup website (see screenshot) include a most conspicuous opening for a “Chief of Staff”, indicating Col. John Kelly may soon  leave the Trump administration.</p>
<p>Whitehouse spokesperson Sarah Sanders acknowledged the move at Tuesday’s press briefing:</p>
<p><strong>“Well, ah, as you know, the President likes to create a lean, fluid, combative, and fearful staff environment. Over the years he has refined his management style to eliminate the need for ‘full-time’ employees with benefits.”</strong></p>
<p>When asked if the Whitehouse was considering using competitive bidding, including other agencies, such as <a title="Link to Kelly Services" href="https://www.kellyservices.us/" target="_blank">Kelly Services</a>, she offered a terse, “No comment.”  Through trusted sources, we were told that Kelly was offered a “piece of the action,” but declined, based on The Trump Organization&#8217;s failure to pay Kelley $5.1 M for services on multiple projects from 1996-2006.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After an especially &#8220;interesting&#8221; week of drama in the Trump Oval Office, it&#8217;s easy to lose track of what all happened. The big news on Monday (7/24) was <a title="Trump Tweets down A.G." href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/889790429398528000" target="_blank">Trump&#8217;s tweets relentlessly bashing his Atty.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With recent revelations regarding the turmoil in the Trump Whitehouse, a new outside threat has appeared, and several staff members have taken action: food tasters are now as common as criminal lawyers amongst Team Trump. Most notably, though he is not an official staff member, is Trump Jr.&#8217;s recent acquisition of a &#8220;master taster&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_482" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpJr-fingerFix_700w.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-482" alt="Donald Trump, Jr." src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpJr-fingerFix_700w-300x293.jpg" width="300" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Donald Trump, Junior</p></div>
<p>Trump Jr.&#8217;s extensive contacts (email and meetings) with Russians may have jeopardized deals with the Trump business and other &#8220;off the record&#8221; deals that  Trump has made with the Russian Mafiya, where Putin is a powerful, though &#8220;unofficial&#8221; officer.</p>
<p>Several opponents who have crossed Putin and his cronies in both politics, and in attempting to apply the rule of law, have been killed (<a title="Article on recent Putin poisoning victim (Feb. 2017)" href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/has-putin-poisoned-another-opponent" target="_blank">link to details</a>). Most died from various poisons, radiation or more violent methods.  Thus, a food taster (most Presidents use them) becomes a basic necessity, in addition to bodyguards and other more &#8220;conventional&#8221; protection afforded people of power and influence. Did Obama have a food taster? The <a title="Snopes: Debunking: Did Obama have a food taster?" href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taster.asp" target="_blank">Snopes website rates this a &#8220;true&#8221;</a>!</p>
<h3>More Tasters and a few Bugs Appear</h3>
<div id="attachment_483" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpStaff_cJan2017.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-483" alt="Can you see the &quot;bugs?&quot; Click on the image to test your counter-espionage IQ." src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpStaff_cJan2017-300x183.jpg" width="300" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Can you see the &#8220;bugs?&#8221; <a title="See the bugs?" href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpStaff_cJan2017-BugArrows.jpg" target="_blank">Click here</a> to test your counter-espionage IQ and see the wired men.</p></div>
<p>Perhaps even more telling of the tense mood and conflict within the Trump inner circle, is the rumor that some staff, including Jared Kushner<em>, have hired backup food tasters, and are  wearing recording devices under their clothes, </em>to rectify the complex set of values needed to stay out of prison, stay alive, and still remain &#8220;on-board the Trump Train&#8221; to make America great again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
As you might expect, sharp business people like Donald Trump have a gift, call it a knack, for taking a bad situation and finding a new angle, a new way to turn things around. The latest controversy over video/audio from 2005, where Trump admits assaulting women and attempting to seduce a married woman, has shocked many. In the video, Trump says he needs a Tic Tac in case he kisses the actress he is about to meet.</p>
<p>That was enough for the Italian confectioner <a title="Tic Tac website link" href="http://www.tictac.com" target="_blank">Ferrero</a>, which makes Tic Tacs, to leap into action. Spokesman Luigi Silvio Soprano noted this as an opportunity. He said*,</p>
<p><em>&#8220;In Italian culture, we treasure our women, in a way that Mr. Trump understands. In the big cities, a man can go all day, copping many feels of buttocks, breasts, and even the occasional crotch. Most women appreciate the attention, and consider it a compliment. So we have signed a preliminary promotional agreement with Mr. Trump, where his stature and image will no doubt boost sales of our fine mint products.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Soprano mentioned that one trial ad is ready and more are to come in the next few weeks, before the U.S. elections.</p>
<address>*Original quote: &#8220;Nella cultura italiana, facciamo tesoro nostre donne, in modo che il signor Trump capisce. Nelle grandi città, un uomo può andare tutto il giorno, copping molti sente di natiche, seni, e anche il cavallo occasionale. La maggior parte delle donne apprezzano l&#8217;attenzione, e lo considerano un complimento. Così abbiamo firmato un accordo di promozione preliminare con il signor Trump, dove la sua statura e l&#8217;immagine sarà senza dubbio aumentare le vendite dei nostri prodotti di menta bene.&#8221;</address>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After admitting he was <strong>guilty of sexual assault and harassment</strong>, and facing an unprecedented wave of disgust and rejection by the Republican Party, Donald Trump is doubling down again. This time, he is comparing, and blaming, his behavior with stories that Bill Clinton told him when they were golfing buddies&#8211;apparently Clinton talked, according to Trump, like a <em>&#8220;very nasty boy, not nice at all,&#8221;</em> on the links.</p>
<p>Trump went on to say that although he was uncomfortable with the tone of the jokes and stories, he didn&#8217;t say anything because he didn&#8217;t want to offend the former president.<br />
Trump elaborated:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It is so ironic, that I&#8217;m the victim here. Before I started golfing with Bill, I could, with prayer and counsel, suppress any &#8216;impure thoughts&#8217; that occasionally popped into my head. Somehow, because of Bill&#8217;s example, I began to think that sort of &#8216;locker room&#8217; talk was O.K., you know? And now look at the mess I&#8217;ve gotten myself into! You can be sure that when I&#8217;m president, Bill Clinton won&#8217;t be invited to any of my fantastic golf outings! Besides, he&#8217;s a cheater and a mediocre golfer. Sad.&#8221;</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Sen. Ted Cruz selected Carly Fiorina as his running mate, there were hopes that the choice of a failed female corporate executive, with no experience in public office, would fire up the Cruz crusade and gain enough fringe-belief delegates to stop Donald Trump.</p>
<div id="attachment_431" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 311px"><img class="size-full wp-image-431" alt="Fiorina photo" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/CarlyFiorinaWithPen.jpg" width="301" height="346" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fiorina explains a fine point of her reality system.</p></div>
<p>Now, after a trouncing in the May 3rd Indiana primary, Cruz has thrown in the towel and suspended his campaign. But not so fast, says Fiorina. She plans to stay in the race, hoping to score a massive victory in California, site of her Hewlett-Packard financial success.</p>
<p>During a brief interview after Cruz&#8217;s last rally, Fiorina was questioned about the validity of running when her name was not actually on the ballot in California. Her response echoed several themes from her 2016 presidential campaign. She replied, &#8220;That&#8217;s your reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added:<br />
&#8220;I know Ted Cruz will be on the ballot and I&#8217;m not a quitter. We&#8217;re going to get it done and stop the Trump Train, so that Sen. Cruz can un-suspend his campaign and save America.&#8221;</p>
