It’s Thursday.
Regular season NFL Football starts tonight with the Green Bay Packers traveling to Solider Field to face the Chicago Bears. Game time is @ 8:20 eastern time, 7:20 central time, and 5:20 pacific time.
For this Thursday President Donald Trump has tweeted 4 times.
Bad “actress” Debra The Mess Messing is in hot water. She wants to create a “Blacklist” of Trump supporters, & is being accused of McCarthyism. Is also being accused of being a Racist because of the terrible things she said about blacks and mental illness. If Roseanne Barr….

….said what she did, even being on a much higher rated show, she would have been thrown off television. Will Fake News NBC allow a McCarthy style Racist to continue? ABC fired Roseanne. Watch the double standard!

President responded by telling a “sir story.”
I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me “Sir.” How times have changed!

Debra Messing “Will and Grace” sitcom star, faced backlash for her original call for donors to be personally targeted for their support of President Trump.
Actress and The View host, Whoopi Goldberg likened Messings request of publishing President Trump’s donors list, to the Hollywood Blacklist, which listed names of Hollywood actors, directors, screen writers, suspected of having communist ties.
As Goldberg notes, several on the Hollywood Blacklist, lost their jobs, some even going so far as to commit suicide.
According to the FEC, individual donors from 1989 to present, are made public for any donation after $200 or more.
Alabama was going to be hit or grazed, and then Hurricane Dorian took a different path (up along the East Coast). The Fake News knows this very well. That’s why they’re the Fake News!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2019
As *the News Blender reported on Wednesday the President shared an altered NOAA image of one of Hurricane Dorian’s paths.
The altered image from NOAA had what appeared to be black sharpie adding Alabama into Dorian’s path.
This started when President Trump falsely told the state of Alabama to be prepared for Dorian’s impact. Shortly after the warning the National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, said that was incorrect, Dorian was not going to impact Alabama.
The President did what he does when he is proven incorrect, he doubled and tripled down on his falsehood.
Last night, following the sharing of the altered image that many users pointed out on Twitter, is a crime, the President double-tripled-down on his reason behind sharing the news that Alabama needed to be prepared for Dorian.
This was the originally projected path of the Hurricane in its early stages. As you can see, almost all models predicted it to go through Florida also hitting Georgia and Alabama. I accept the Fake News apologies! pic.twitter.com/0uCT0Qvyo6

The fine print written under the image states:
NHC Advisories and County Emergency Management Statements supersede this product. This graphic should complement, not replace, NHS discussions. If anything on this graphic causes confusion, ignore the entire product.
Since the altering of the image is a crime, as noted by Cornell Law School:
Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both.
Cornell Law School.
What does President Trump do?
He of course calls reports that he was wrong fake news.
*I have corrected the spelling error in the linked News Blender article, alert-alerting-alerted now as it should have been is alter-altered-altering.
I do apologize for the error, and not catching it, at all, GretchensR alerted me to the altered spelling. 🙂
Really Good Jobs Numbers!

Last August according to the BLS report released on September 7th, 2018, nonfarm payroll employment increased by 201,000.
After almost 3 years in my Administration, Jason Greenblatt will be leaving to pursue work in the private sector. Jason has been a loyal and great friend and fantastic lawyer….

….His dedication to Israel and to seeking peace between Israel and the Palestinians won’t be forgotten. He will be missed. Thank you Jason!

The New York Times, reported Thursday that according to a Senior Trump Official the special envoy for the Middle East Peace Plan would be leaving the administrations, “raising new questions about a long-delayed plan to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict.”
Greenblatt was working closely with President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in order to design a Middle East Peace Plan, that President Trump has called the “ultimate deal.”
The plan has been in the making for over two-years, with little known about it, the Trump Official told the Times, the “vision is now complete and will be released when appropriate.”
There is no expectation that the plan will be released before September 17th, when Israel votes for Prime Minister.
Update.
Just as I said, Alabama was originally projected to be hit. The Fake News denies it! pic.twitter.com/elJ7ROfm2p

He has sixth downed or maybe it’s seventh at this point.
The image President Trump tweeted out was NWS advisory number 21, sent on August 29th, 2019.
By August 30th, 2019, Advisory 25A shown below, shows that Alabama would not suffer impact from the storm. The tweet from NHC_Atlantic was sent at 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
2 PM EDT: Hurricane Hunter aircraft finds #Dorian is now a major hurricane – poses a significant threat to Florida and the northwest Bahamas: https://t.co/W7hebQVNpu? pic.twitter.com/Z0b9ki11yX

The original mention of Alabama from President Trump was Sept. 1st, at 10:51 a.m. with @NWS Birmingham tweeting out at 11:11 a.m. that Alabama would see no impact from Dorian.
Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east. #alwx
— NWS Birmingham (@NWSBirmingham) September 1, 2019
It should also be noted again, that someone, or President Trump himself, altered an image that was illegal to alter to prove President Trump correct, even though he was clearly inaccurate to include Alabama in getting hammered.
The tweet President Trump sent from Alabama National Guard was sent on August 30th, 2019 at 10:11 a.m.
#HurricaneDorian is projected to reach southern Alabama by the early part of the week. We are watching closely and #ready to act. Are you? pic.twitter.com/iMH0DnE4QO
