There has been a lot of praise for the tactical acumen of Pelosi of late, much of it deserved. But who the heck would think it wise to go off on a junket during a government shutdown?!?
I am just now seeing the news. I’m just shattered. A very dear friend of mine was a congregant at the Tree of Life Synagogue. We are a soul sick people. Lord, deliver us.
I wish for every person to have a friend as good and true as
@DanaPerino
— someone who will enroll you in THE SALAMI OF THE MONTH CLUB for Christmas.

So much of our politics has been impoverished by insincere conversations among Baby Boomers. Too little has been informed by the sacrifices of those who paid the price for decisions of the past. John S. McCain, R.I.P.
I would suggest getting
@DanaPerino
a cake for her birthday, but that would ONLY complicate her eating choices today. So maybe just celebrate our friend by doing some small act of kindness for a stranger today.
Twitter rules require this so here we go…

After spending a little time stuck at an airport tonight, it occurs to me to remind you that our politics did not make us uncivil but rather that our culture has produced political incivility.

Your calling out Shannon here is unprofessional and terribly small. She is a consummate professional who I have seen do great work under adverse conditions many times. Poor form.
“...we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” A. Lincoln, Nov. 19, 1863, Gettysburg, Pa.
I am sorry that I unfollowed you or muted you. I just can’t expend the time you will on being upset about the activities of strangers. I will miss you and your insights, but those are your rabbit holes not mine.

When the news is ugly and disheartening, it is highly advisable to hear it from someone of decency and professionalism. Hence, I’m joining

Q: Sir, did you ever fly for a commercial airline? A: No, although I did fly the concorde once. The pilot knew me and knew I was a passenger so invited me to fly it.
Share this piece far and wide.

tells a story of true gratitude that would behoove every American to know and everyone in the world to know about America.
I thought my heart would never heal from the loss of him until I realized that God have given me two mini-Beezes to raise and delight in. For every guy out there missing a dad, there’s somebody, somewhere for you to love like he loved you.
And I see you all there complaining about how you don’t like her apology or that she didn’t say what you require. The woman wrote a piece about the need for grace in public discourse and then stuck her neck out and admitted she had been wrong. Takes guts.

got...You know why there were so many voter registrations? Because it was the last day of voter registration in like 18 states."

Ok. Get this.

My fave NYT stories are when their reporters suddenly discover what normal Americans did in high school and then write an “expose” about it.

Criticizing the president for playing golf is as silly and cynical as it was when said of his predecessor. Let them golf or fish or hunt or play damned canasta if they want. Same goes double for vacations!
I know that Alex is going to do this. (North) America needs him too much. And I have yet to fulfill my decades-long dream of being on

Get well soon.
