In a new angry tweet from the president is pulling attention away from one of the biggest supporters this morning. Scott mcgrew, the white house managed to take the high ground on the controversy over the condolence call. Threw it away this morning. Thursday, the white house chief of staff, john kelly, who, remember lost his own son in the iraq war told americans, all americans to stop politicizing gold star families. Then he said, how do you make these calls . If you are not in the family, if you have never worn the uniform, if you have never been in combat, you cant even imagine how to make that call. I think he bravely does make those calls. It was an emotional speech. I encourage you to watch all of it. It was just what the white house needed to put the condolence call issue behind it. But, late last night, the president tweeted the fake news is going crazy with whacky congresswoman wilson d, on a personal call and gave a total lion content. The president is talking about fredricka wilson. The president may not have known she was on the call, but the Johnson Family certainly did. She was in the car with the family as they drove to pick up sergeant johnsons body when the president s call came through and the family put it on speakerphone. Theres a reasonable point to be made. The calls are personal and should not be talked about by any politician on either side, speakerphone or not. Chief of staff kelly was putting an end to it before the president s tweet last night. In the news of government, the Senate Passed the framework of a budget. Its one step closer to the promised tax cuts. We dont know the full details on the cuts.

You were. Kind of. We are prepared for the rain. Now that it moved on, we have wet roads this morning. Allow extra time to get to work to drive a little more slowly. It is really going to help out with the fire fight in the north bay. Lets take a look at how much rain we had in some spots where you can see the fire icon.
