Persuade, Don’t Insult
Social Media is loaded with celebrities and common folks hurling curses and names at Trump. I do not give those posts a like and I certainly do not share them. I deplore Trump on a personal level for his failings as a decent human being and on the political level for his deplorable policies and…
Read MoreHe told us Mexico would pay for the Wall
“Are you ready?” Trump told a cheering crowd in Arizona during his 2016 campaign trail. “We will build a great wall along the southern border and Mexico will pay for that wall,” He also added. “It will go up so fast your head will spin.” Now during this Trump imposed shutdown he’s singing a different…

Yes, admittedly, he is not attractive individual. Physically, there is something of the weasel or the rodent about him—…
Read MoreDrumpf And The Froot Loops
This article by Sebastian Murdock, Donald Trump Thinks You Need ID To Buy Cereal, at Huffington Post is definitely thought-food. So… Trump’s not only a serial liar, he’s a cereal buffoon. Present story: Considering the venue (an interview with The Daily Caller), we shouldn’t really be too surprised at Trump’s hinge-less rant.…

So I’m sitting here looking at pictures of Matthew Whitaker, our acting Attorney General. The stress is on the word acting, because the legality of his appointment is disputed, and, if we’re very, very lucky, he’ll be gone the time you read this (I’m writing on November 13th.) But whether he goes or stays, what…
