Peculiar items are popping up at the home of Cathy and Mark Schroeckenstein, a young couple in Minneapolis.
A cement bunny appeared on the doorstep. A rusted baker’s rack materialized on the patio. A lamp that is “like so gaudy….kind of gold” and “really old school” was plopped in the kitchen, says Ms. Schroeckenstein.
The culprits, it turned out, were her in-laws.

Petition to Senator Schumer and the DNC: Respect Hillary’s Legacy!
There was some discussion over the weekend regarding remarks Chuck Schumer made last week. One reason I did not bring that up was that last we were also in the middle of a battle royal to preserve the ACA, and Senator Schumer was central to the effort to shepherd every Democratic vote – which he successfully did. In that context, I made a judgment call and decided not to distract from the important votes taking place in the Senate.

So Ends “Made in America Week”
It has been just another Friday in Trump’s America. During a week supposedly dedicated to jobs for Americans, the Trump organization applied for H2B visas for cooks, housekeepers, and servers. Presumably there are no Americans whatsoever who qualify for these positions.
On Thursday, the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, said it wanted to hire 15 housekeepers for $10.33 an hour; 20 cooks for $13.34 an hour; and 35 servers for $11.88 an hour. The Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, was asking for six cooks to hire for $13.34 per hour. These requests are published in a database updated by the Department of Labor.
Social media this week was peppered with photos of Trump goods with “made in” tags from everywhere but here.
Two rogue waves crashed on the National Mall Friday. Anthony Scaramucci, allegedly a close Trump friend, was named Director of White House…

Setting the Record Straight on the 17 Intel Agencies
Just to keep the record straight, here are the 17 intel agencies that we have been hearing about since Hillary Clinton brought them up during one of the debates.
There’s more than the CIA and FBI: The 17 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community
Nina AgrawalThe U.S. intelligence community recently reaffirmed its conclusion that senior officials in Russia were behind hacks during the 2016 presidential campaign into the Democratic National Committee and emails belonging to associates of Hillary Clinton.
But what exactly is the “intelligence community?” It’s not just an amorphous term for all U.S. intelligence officials. It’s a veritable alphabet soup of 17 agencies and offices. The group includes agencies strictly focused on intelligence as well as the intelligence arms of other government agencies and of the military. Its total budget in 2015 was $66.8 billion.
Here are the 17 offices:
