Trump staff arrives at the White House
2017-01-22
[POLITICO] President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s staff started arriving at the White House less than two hours after their boss took the oath of office.

Raj Shah, a new deputy communications director, showed news hounds his teal-blue badge (in contrast to the B.O. regime’s royal blue hard passes) and said he was on hand "literally to hit ’send’ on things." Indeed, the prepared text of Trump’s inaugural speech and the first White House pool report landed in inboxes from a White House press address labeled "OCIO."

It’s unclear how many others will make it onto the White House campus on Friday, Shah said. Vans have been carrying staffers over from the transition offices, "a bunch of NSC staff, primarily," he said, referring to the National Security Council.

Asked whether Trump would make more executive moves during his first hours in office beyond those he signed at the Capitol, Shah said, "Stay tuned for that."

He added: "Don’t start drinking yet."

#7  A long time ago (and far far away) I was involved in a study regarding variations in the current draw of light bulbs when subject to changing air pressure. The results led to a change from incandescent to fluorescent bulbs, and power filters on limited access rooms.

A little more recently I read a patent brief for a paint additive with similar interesting properties. When energized (illuminated) the molecule would vibrate in out of band frequencies. Pretty much a light powered tunable transponder, in the paint.

Remember the new embassy building in Russia a few years back? Frequency scans for transmitters is no longer a sufficient preventative. Active anechoic treatments will be necessary.

#3  gorb, for that suggestion yesterday: here are your eyebrows, stickum to attach them with, and periwinkle glitter to shake over yourself because you are much too grown up for a gold star.
