Fox News, Stormy Daniels, and Dementia We Are Unable To Cure
We don’t have universal health care in America but we have universal dementia we’re unable to cure.

The Re-Nixonization Of America
It appears we are taking yet another step toward the re-nixonization of America. Us older folk will remember Tricky-D’s raving about law and order, the tying of police and prosecutorial hands, massively escalating crime linked to drugs and the need for draconian punishments and questionable methods of rooting out the outlaws.
Mr Trump: Please Stop Telling Lies and Start Telling the Truth
