News and commentary round upFrom the Washington Post: Trump Administration Planning Big Budget Cuts for NOAA [Ed: 17% budget cut to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin, 26% from Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research; 5% from National Weather Service and National Marine Fisheries Service each. Another leaked memo, BTW.]
From the Gateway Pundit: Wikileaks Destroys Obama – Reveals His History Of Wiretapping Friends and Rivals
From Conde Nast Travel: This Might Be the Most Unusual Little Island on the Planet [Ed: I've never heard of this status being accorded before.]

From the Global Politico: Photo contradicts Pelosi's statement about not meeting Kislyak [Ed: I love how photos with the Russian Ambassador are surfacing of all the Dems who claim to have never met him.] And a related news item from the Washington Examiner: CNN and MSNBC did zero work fact-checking Democratic senator's bogus claim [Ed: the Senator is McCaskill.] Meanwhile, at the New York Times as reported by the Washington Examiner: NYT stealth edits bogus McCaskill charge [Ed: sans note re: the editing or re: publishing false info. Just changed like the original never occurred.]
From the UK Telegraph: Donald Trump attacks Barack Obama over Watergate-style bugging of Trump Tower - but is then branded a 'liar' [Ed: wizard move by Trump. He is not stupid, which means he has something but if he turned it over to the FBI without an announcement, it would be buried because he could not comment on an ongoing intel investigation. He has changed the narrative, forced whatever Cong. investigation occurs on the Russia front to address this matter, and deflected attention from his big political announcements next week -- namely, Obamacare and immigration.] From Lawnewz: Yes, There Could Be Serious Legal Problems if Obama Admin Involved in Illegal Surveillance. And a related story from Zero Hedge: Former Bush AG Confirms "Trump Probably Right About Surveillance"
From CNBC: Twitter About to Get Even Harsher on "Trolls" [Ed: I wonder how they define a "troll"? And getting rid of "low quality" tweets from the feed sounds ominous.]]

From Buzzfeed: Peeps Oreos [New Flavor] Have Rather Unfortunate Side Effects. In other words, 'bright pink' poop
From Reason: Trump Assumes Command of the American ChurchIt's time we learn that killing and dying for an ideology—even so-called liberal democracy— is as bad as doing so for a religion. [Ed: the church of Americanism and patriotism]
From go.unu.au: Hello, my name is UNU & I am a Swarm Intelligence. Humblebrag: I'm pretty good at answering questions and making predictions. Try me. What do you want to ask? [Ed: fun.]
From Watts Up With That: A primer on the hatred of climate skeptics – one woman saw the light and is no longer a leftist
