Wrong to try to indict former FBI Director James Comey for alleged lies which occurred in 2016. Represents Trump trying to get even for something 10 years later, assuming the words were not true.
Trump played the big man. Criticized the U.N. in person for a broken escalator and teleprompter issues. The U.N. suggested Trump’s term was to blame.
Trump’s comments examples of his pettiness.
The Park Service removed the Statue of Trump and Epstein from the National Mall.
Time counts. Weeks especially. It has been 21 weeks since Trump gave Putin 2 weeks to end the war.
Can Democrats make the Republicans own the shutdown? Democrats are not fighting the fight. Republicans keep beating them. Reason simple. Republicans fight dirty. Democrats want to appear like the good guys. They may be, but still should knock the hell out of them. Democrats must appear to be part of the fight. They do not.
Per the Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war. The first was declared in 1788. Since that time, Congress has declared war only 11 times. Yet we fight wars without invoking the power of the Constitution and Congress. Supposedly legal as done. However, does not feel proper.
The last time the U.S. declared war “by the book” was World War II in 1942. Appreciate how many times we would “technically” have been at war if done correctly.
On this day in 1894, President Grover Cleveland issued a Presidential Proclamation pardoning followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons) who had previously enjoyed polygamous marriages or habitation agreements considered unlawful by the U.S. government.
An “intensive culture of fear” is destroying the EPA from within by Trump. A shame! I should know better than most. M legal specialty was environmental law.
Robert De Niro is building a $250 million hotel on Barbuda, once a favorite island retreat of Princess Diana. A new ultra-luxurious hotel: The Beach Club Barbuda.
Barbuda is an island 30 miles north of Antigua.
De Niro describes the island as “very calm…very pleasant. Not many people around. Th donkeys come to you.”
Time for a Greek visit. I miss Greece.
Key West sunsets are the best! Come down and try one!
A spectacular dinner last night. Lasagna at Brady’s Irish Pub. Carolla bartending. A perfect evening.
I will be back at Brady’s saturday for the Syracuse/Duke game. Syracuse expected win. In spite of our star quarterback Dave Angeli having fractured his Achilles tendon. Carolla will be back also
A busy morning already today. A portion of my annual physical with Dr. Norris. Breakfast at Goldman’s. Then a haircut and beard trim.
Slept poorly again last night. Will the spend the rest of the day napping and watching TV. I’m tired.
Enjoy your day!
