11/16/19: President Trump arrives at Walter Reed Hospital at 2:45 p.m. We are told he’s there to get an early start on his annual checkup, scheduled for February.
White House Fable Maker Stephanie Grisham issues a statement explaining the accelerated timing. “Anticipating a very busy 2020, the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C., to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at Walter Reed.”
Grisham likes to issue “statements” because if she gave a
press conference, she’d get asked a whole flock of questions she’d have trouble
answering, unless she lied. Since taking over for Pinocchio Sanders on June 25,
as official “White House Press Secretary,” Ms. Grisham has not held a press
briefing.
She has found time to buzz over to Fox News and do interviews, complete with actual questions – easy ones – at least a dozen times. She has also visited with Eric Bolling, last seen harassing female co-workers at Fox, currently shilling for Sinclair Broadcasting. Finally, she squeezed in an interview with One America News, a cable channel that makes Fox seem positively liberal.
As of November 16, 250 days (including time when Pinocchio Sanders was still bouncing around the White House) have passed since the last White House press briefing.

NOT MUCH else happening on a cold Saturday in November. The Dow Jones did close above 28,000 on Friday.
That’s good.
Even better, this morning the Great Firewall of Trump (see comparison to Communist China) was breached. Mark Sandys of
the Office of Management and Budget appeared to testify in a closed door
session, despite White House efforts to block him. Sandys is said to have
information about how the decision to withhold nearly $400 million in vital
military aid to Ukraine was made. Based on what we’ve heard from witnesses,
and read in transcripts, so far, you figure Acting White House Chief of
Enabling Mick Mulvaney has his fingerprints all over this.
Speaking of witnesses, Don Jr. proves that, like father, like
son, he’s a giant asshole on Twitter.
