Oh Yeah

We all recall Donald Trump criticizing President Obama for playing too much golf. Well, check this out, seems the current White House occupant has played 2 ½ times more. His total cost to us taxpayers for chasing the small white ball thus far is $133.8 million.  He headed for yet another stay at his Mar a Lago resort this weekend, his 29^th.  By the way, sources indicate that the secret service is charged $650 a night there, more than three times what federal employees are allowed to spend.  

Now that Michael Bloomberg has made his intentions known regarding running for the presidency the other “Grand Old Party” hopefuls are naturally doing all they can to destroy him. Probably Bloomberg being the only candidate who could defeat the incumbent, his own party opposition will likely insure another four years for Donald Trump.

 Congress just held its annual Talent Show. It lasted a minute and a half.

Question of the week:  If the President was sent to jail, would the secret service go with him?

Throughout his 52 years in the media Sam Donaldson never endorsed or contributed to a political candidate.  He’s now put his stamp of approval on Michael Bloomberg while referring to Trump in these terms, “He’s me

A space is regularly dedicated here to the quote of the week, sometimes meaningful, other times absurd. The one I note today is one which endures forever, spoken by a true hero who led other heroes in preventing terrorists from destroying Washington landmarks and killing many of our citizens.
