This is what the WSJ thinks of Trump’s North Korean fire-breathing
Here’s their editorial: The President’s point was that the North’s escalating threats are intolerable; he didn’t set any red lines. True to form, Pyongyang responded by putting the U.S. island of Guam in its cross hairs. Mr. Trump may be … Continue reading →
What do you think of Trump’s saber-rattling towards North Korea?
Or shall we call it fire-breathing? In trying to ascertain what would work best with North Korea, I come up with the answer “nothing.” They’re been on a very bad and very belligerent course for a long time. That said, … Continue reading →

Priebus out
Kelly in. Well, it never seemed as though the Trump/Priebus nuptials were a marriage made in heaven. And I never cared much for Preibus anyway. When voters selected Trump as president, they should have expected turmoil and drama to accompany … Continue reading →
