Birthdays... especially 80th Birthdays are special within themselves, but .. some 80th birthdays are even more special than others.. (including your own).. some are "Paul Harvey Moments". I went to one yesterday that, though I'm sure is not unique within itself, but pretty close. My uncle, Jack, celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday at a surprise gathering at one of his daughter's homes in Cumming, GA. A contingent of family drove up to be a part of the surprise and celebration.. Among the celebrants were Uncle Jack's 3 siblings.. his sister and two brothers... all of which are older than him.. We didn't just celebrate an 80th birthday.. we celebrated a lifelong family era 4 siblings.. all octogenarians.. and the "baby brother" is 80.. The 4 siblings have accrued 341 years between them, and the oldest brother turns 90 on his next birthday.. may we gather again in 2026 when "baby brother Jack" gets to 90!

That Medal orgy at the White House yesterday was more like a "pay for play" reward for celebrities that did fundraisers for Hellary this past election period.

Online story: "President Obama’s Justice Department is penalizing the Denver Sheriff Department for making U.S. citizenship a requirement for applicants." -- Liberalism has finally imploded beyond repair.. Presidential minions at the DOJ now have decided that our law enforcement system is bad because...we have too many Americans serving...and that we need "illegals" recruited and hired. Imagine that.... law breakers enforcing laws. Now, in the sense of "celebrating liberalism", I think having an "election do-over" may be called for.. in Colorado... I do believe that Trump would now win Colorado as well.

Online headline: "Report: Trump may put more zip into plans for Atlanta-Chattanooga bullet train " -- Atlanta-Chattanooga... Hey Mayor TomLYINGson.. hey, L-E, hey Reverend Flakes.. Atlanta-Chattanooga.. NOT Atlanta-COLUMBUS.. Guess aligning with the DEMOCRATS in elections is a curse within itself when trying to fit in with statewide progeress.

If Trump wants Romney, who are we to second guess him.. but, for my money, IF there';s a place for Romney in Trump's administration, it's heading the restructuring of the VA..

Online headline: "Trump on meeting Obama: 'Liked him a lot'" -- Hmmm... if there's one way to win over the mainscream media.. it's to stroke the ego of its leader...

---
Online headline: "North Korea issues not-so-subtle warning to Trump" -- Hmmm... maybe Trump should threaten to send both Clintons, and their Foundations, to North Korea for residency...Hellary might win the presidency over there.

Kim Jong Un... and in 1992, we THOUGHT Ross Perot had a bad haircut.

You know, at this point, I'm not so sure Trump would be wrong at pardoning Hellary on some.. even most of her and Bill's crimes. We do not need the Republican Congress distracted when there is so much that can be accomplished.. I'd even take a "plea bargain" ..if Trump would give them a RV mobile " Embassy", and appoint them "honarary ambassadors" to the Islamic and other 3rd world countries that donated to their foundations.. Oh.. and since they don't like guns, strip them of their Secret Service entourage.

Online headline: "The price New York is paying to protect Donald Trump is staggering" -- -- Hmmm... on he other hand, the streets of NYC are safe to walk again.. for the first time since Guliani was Mayor.

L-E headline/story: "Boyhood memories zoom back for man visiting Leno’s garage * Jay Leno allowed Michael Corman of Phenix City to visit his Burbank, Calif., garage last month and relive some boyhood memories about the experimental Chrysler Turbine his father was allowed to test drive." -- Wow.. I remember the day that Chrysler Turbine meandered slowly through Overlook.. I was a 16 year old with a driver's license and an irresistible urge to run after it and get my hands on the wheel.. a Turbine powered car,, in Overlook.. it was like "Back to the Future Meets Norman Rockwell".
