Trump Estrangement Syndrome
Donald Trump is famous/infamous for a couple of things: a) He has a tendency to boast, or exaggerate, which makes his supporters chuckle and his detractors pull the hair out of their collective head; and b) he tends to make assertions that, at the time, seem outrageous, but that later turn out to be true.
That’s why I give Trump the benefit of the doubt over this Iran war. My initial reaction was negative — “dammit, you promised no more wars!”
But just as with Trump’s controversial — to put it mildly — illegal-alien deportations, it’s too early to predict the endgame.

Lionel Shriver
Two months ago, I’d never heard of this author. But she’s popping up everywhere in interviews to promote her new book, A Better Life. Apparently, Shriver is anti-woke. She is fighting back against the avalanche of (mostly female, mostly liberal) authors and publishers who dominate the book world.
That’s refreshing. I might have to buy her book.

Two questions for Republicans in D.C.
Why the hell isn’t E-Verify the law of the land, so that we can start punishing ALL employers who hire illegal aliens?
What the hell is the congressional holdup on the SAVE Act?
Is Trump-hating, fossilized tortoise Mitch McConnell behind these logjams?
