Monsters and losers
President Trump says he doesn't believe the word "monster" is strong enough to describe the perpetrators of the pop concert bombers in London. "Loser" is the word he says he will be using... the same word he used to describe Mitt Romney. He's a fourth grader.---
We're still obsessing over Russia, yet right out there in the front yard, Trump is selling $110 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, the country that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11. Now we can guess at what is to become of the law passed in 2016 that allows relatives of the victims to sue the kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their deaths.

Confederate monuments are coming down all over. First, New Orleans, now St. Louis? Yesterday, St. Louis' Forest Park witnessed protests, counter-protests, and finally, a revamping of a statute to now include a spraypainted anarchy symbol and a Black Lives Matter sign.

I've never had much to say on this blog about the health care debate. What can be said? Only single-payer will work. Everything else will be a dismal failure. You cannot have humanity, compassion, and Christianity, and also have a profit motive. I get confused as to how "Trumpcare" can be called immoral but "Obamacare" isn't. Both pieces of legislation leave millions without coverage.

I haven't watched a minute of the NBA playoffs. Has any North American team sport featured such a competitive imbalance at any time during our lifetime? Generally speaking I believe the NBA to be the closest thing to professional wrestling that is not professional wrestling, but if the outcomes were actually illegitimate, these wouldn't be the outcomes they would be giving us.
Incidentally, I believe the NFL to be the closest thing to dog fighting that isn't dog fighting.
No, you got me, mixed martial arts is probably that.
