“The resort, on Hawaii's Big Island, features a golf course, six restaurants, and a 10,000-square-foot oceanfront pool. It also features a "Spa Without Walls," where the 110-minute Ali'i Royal Experience is available for $369 and a 50-minute couples massage runs $549, according to the spa menu. While at the spa, guests can snack on a gluten-free grilled prawn summer roll for $19.
“Trump has been holding work meetings since Congress went into recess, including one with Department of Homeland Security secretary Nielsen on how to fund the administration's border security plan. “Pelosi, meanwhile, has been speaking to the press. She gave an exclusive interview to USA Today just before Christmas calling Trump a "fear monger.” "He talked about terrorists coming in over that particular border, which wasn't so," Pelosi said. "He's using scare tactics that are not evidence-based, and it's wrong.” “This is not Pelosi's first holiday vacation to Hawaii. In 2011, it was reported by the Hawaii Reporter that Pelosi had in previous years stayed in a $10,000-a-night suite at the Four Seasons Resort in Kona for her holiday vacation.”Meanwhile, the media keeps hamming it up about Trump and the partial government shutdown. “The partial government shutdown will almost certainly be handed off to a divided government to solve in the new year, as both parties traded blame Friday, and President Trump sought to raise the weeklong impasse (NY Times, Dec. 28, 2018). To the media the more significant news is comparing Michelle Obama’s gaudy, knee high golden boots to the Timberland boots First Lady Melania Trump wore when meeting the overseas troops.
According to the Trump backbiting Frum: “Trump problem: he cannot win and has left himself no unhumiliating exit.” In the real world that the Democrats, Entertainment Industry and the media can’t bring themselves to believe, the president is not home alone in the White House but working from there. Trump haters should know by now that the more the hopelessly deranged go after the president, the more his supporters love him. That’s because Trump supporters see clearly through the hype. They see that while he’s working to find the way to build that wall, the Democrats abandoned some 442,000 government employees working without pay to run away and play in the sunshine. No matter how they try to bend the narrative, the reality is that not everybody hates President Donald Trump. In fact, the 63 million (and still counting) number who voted for him could more than fill a book, entitled ‘Who loves ya, baby?’If you're president of the United States and you need a character witness... shouldn't you be able to draw on a Nelson Mandela/Mother Teresa/Elie Wiesel-type character? I mean, if @JesseBWatters & @dbongino are the people stepping up for you ... yikes.
