In lamenting the disbanding of the Voter Fraud Commission, Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that there is “substantial evidence of voter fraud.” That is just plain a flat out lie. But, then, flat out lies are the meat and potatoes of the Trump administration.

One thing we can thank Bannon’s book for, is confirming how absolutely stupid Donald Trump actually is. He could not even learn the Constitution past the fourth amendment.

This is my fourth winter living in the Mundell neighborhood, and the number of times my street has been salted (or even adequately plowed) is zero. Why is this? Does my tax dollars not spend the same as it does in other neighborhoods in Hobart? Should I be getting a discount on my sanitation bill since they’re obviously not putting it towards keeping my street clear?

Steve Bannon is angry that he is not in the White House anymore. He is mad that he is not “playing” president anymore. He thinks that he is smarter than everyone and they should do as he wants them to do. He is determined to bring them all down now.

Maybe the Salvation Army would reach their Christmas donation goals if they didn’t rely on cash donations. They’re working on an app but it’s not hard to start a Facebook campaign or GoFundMe page. I’m sure they could find a millennial to help them.

Is Lake County looking diligently for the man from Munster who died to offer comfort and aid? I suspect they are trying to get someone to step up and cover the cost of the burial.

The criminal investigation by Special Counsel Mueller makes the U.S. look bad is in the same sense that Executive Branch and campaign officials should not have been engaging in criminal activity in the first place.

So the worm Bannon has turned. This investigation isn’t just about election tampering. It sounds like money laundering is in fact the underlying issue. Sarah Sanders has lost all credibility, and so has her boss.

Back in the 50s when there were sub-zero temperatures, you may of been playing outside in the snow, but it wasn’t for very long no matter how tough you want to sound in Quickly. Just look at the athletes of today. They’re not getting slower; they’re breaking all kinds of records and getting faster. They’re lifting more weight, jumping higher and longer, skiing down hills faster, riding bikes faster, and climbing mountains faster. So just stay with the facts tough guy.

Did Paul Ryan’s hate for Social Security come before or after he used his Social Security Survivor’s Benefits to put himself through college?

There is much malarkey about Obama saving the economy. What saved the economy was the Republicans taking over Congress and implementing economy saving measures — the same measures that Bush asked for to head off the recession — the same measures that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi balked at implementing until Bush was out of office.

Has there been any time in our history when the President of the United States has created anything like the current condition of absolutely constant turmoil and national stress? Trump is not making America great. He is making us the object of international ridicule.

Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are fighting like cats and dogs. This is what it looks like when guilty people try to point the finger at everyone else. Stay tuned.

I love President Trump and his tweets, especially when it pertains to the North Korean leader Kim Jong un and his nuclear button, not being as big as the president’s. The days of hiding behind invisible red lines are over, and Kim’s next move may be his last one on this planet. The orange one has a big button!
