When people want to invite you to a gift required event, they will move heaven and earth to find your address. But they can’t seem to find a thank you note and stamp after the fact.

Trump now says “President Obama was born in the United States, period.” Trump just made the birther movement look like a “basket of deplorables.”

The glory days after World War II are long gone and they’re not coming back. Selling off all these companies to foreign countries like the steel mills and BP, to name a few, was a bad idea. You can wish all you want, those days are gone. Get over it and move on.

In response to a previous quip, “Libertarian Gary Johnson asks ‘What is Aleppo.’ Are you sure he is a viable presidential candidate?” There is only one way to find out. Let Gary Johnson debate.

Remember when everyone was saying how wonderful the Trump kids were? Not anymore.

“Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.” After promoting birtherism for five years, Donald Trump took 30 seconds to disavow it. He now wants us to forget the whole thing, but in November we’ll remember.

Donald Trump is interviewing for the job of president. The American people would be his boss. But he’s never had a boss in his life! How is he going to answer to the American people when he’s never had to answer to anyone?

If John Gregg gets elected Governor in November, will the Quickly editor allow the same amount of daily Gregg-bashing comments that they have allowed the Daniels and Pence bashing over the years?

Finally the politicians wish to align with will of the people. All public tax dollars should go into improving public schools, not to fund charter schools. This gives me a good reason to move to Valparaiso.

All people should be able to afford to retire at age 65. If they cannot, we need to evaluate what is wrong with our system and make needed changes to allow this to be a normal retirement age. This will make employment opportunities for our youth.

So under pressure Donald Trump has finally conceded that our President was born in the U.S. He’s like a scientist who has just rejected the flat earth theory.
