The military and the police rescue us from danger at home and across the sea. They’re brave and special people who keep our nation safe and free.

Here is just a little statistic for you conservative Republicans who love President Donald Trump: Former President Barack Obama, who’s been out of office now for almost a year, has more than 97 million Twitter followers. President Donald Trump, who has been in office for almost a year and has both the U.S. Senate and the U.S House with majorities of his party, has only more than 44 million Twitter followers. Yeah, that’s right. Obama has more than double followers than Trump. It doesn’t bode very well for the November 2018 midterm elections — you think?

The goings on in Congress these days would make for a good episode on the Jerry Springer show.

The AP analyzed President Donald Trump’s recent Pensacola, Fla., speech where he rallied voters to support Roy Moore. During this rally, Trump . . . told six easily disprovable lies about everything from jobs and factories returning to the U.S. to his continued lie about his non-existent popular vote win. I suppose that a con man can never stop with the con no matter how many times he is exposed. Robert Mueller, keep assembling your case.

I listen to liberal commentators saying former President Barack Obama had higher approval ratings than President Donald Trump. The difference is Obama tanked America. Now, Trump’s tank is starting to overflow with success.
