There he goes again. As Democrats predicted before the first votes were
in, President Donald Trump is, as is his way, challenging the results of
the elections in California. With absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing,
he took to Truth Social ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

I was stopped at a red light when I noticed a man on the sidewalk
pouring water over his head. He had a big bucket and a cup that he
filled with water from the bucket to dump over his head. At first, I
thought he might be trying to cool off, but...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

President Donald Trump may be the smallest, meanest and most vengeful
man to serve in the Oval Office. Every time I think he and his minions
could stoop no lower, they surprise me. There is simply no limit to
Trump's hunger for vengeance, or the...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Trump's Memorial Day Message]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I don't expect very much of President Donald Trump and generally, I'm
not disappointed. In so many ways that we have come to take for granted,
he is a small man, the antithesis of what we mean by "Presidential."

		<description><![CDATA[

When the war is not going well?

You assassinate more leaders.

They replace those leaders with equally bad/worse leaders?

You threaten to destroy the civilization!

That does not go over well.

Back down on that one.

Declare Victory.

Republicans are dancing on the grave. They really were afraid of losing

What distinguishes us from a monarchy? The fact that all power is not

When I was working my way through law school as a bartender, we used to
"86" drinkers who caused trouble. The term has been around that long. It
certainly didn't mean we meant to kill a problem drinker. It meant we

These are troubling times for President Donald Trump. His poll numbers
are in the toilet. The country doesn't trust him with the economy and

I've been playing in the public arenas of politics and commentary, of

Usually, when you're talking about winning a war, it helps to know what

She did everything a loyalist could do. She bowed to his whims. She
weaponized the Justice Department, turning it into the weapon and tool
