I'm glad *someone* is an optimist, ed. Keep it up, maybe some of it will rub off on me. <wink>

<br />No matter how upside down it all may appear, we will have no fear, because we know this big secret: All of creation is conspiring to shower us with blessings. Life is crazily in love with us -- brazenly and innocently in love with us.Â <br

I thought it was a great read, konane. Only the tip of the iceberg, too. 95% of what's written about Trump is negative and while he might deserve *some* of it, nothing is mentioned of the good things he's done. We about drowned in the fawning slobbering they did over Obama, yet his approval numbers matched Trump's current polls at this point in their respective administrations.

<br />Many of the members of the once esteemed Fourth Estate have now become Fifth Columnists. If we really were Nazis, they'd have already been lined up and shot.

Lol stunning ainâ€™t It? Like Kavanaugh May have once thrown ice. Now that is so newsworthy, the author of that piece should be run out of town and embarrassed to death. They all should, and Lemonâ€™s very racist comment Terror Threat in this Country is White Men, good grief and the guy still has his job. And on and on. Just sickening.
