Trump’s address to U.N. was well-delivered
President Trump’s address to the U.N. General Assembly was, in my opinion, a presidential classic, well-delivered. Liberal Democrats who have called him an idle, golf-playing clown with dementia don’t have a leg to stand on. The speech could not have been more presidential or effectively delivered. This is just the latest display of the furious activity by the Trump team in trying to right the country’s overly liberal and sometimes lawless policies in the face of political resistance and stand up to totalitarian threats to our freedom and safety.
Personally, I don’t care one whit if he said something to a Russian diplomat off the record. I trust the man with our country, which he inherited with massive debt and some cracks in our unity. May God bless you, Donald J. Trump, and deliver you from your opponents.

Officers need much better training
I have to respect the police. In the name of protecting us they must put themselves in harm’s way, for which we should be sincerely grateful.
But I can’t stand how often officers use deadly force when the facts later show they were in no actual harm. I can’t help but see these as fatal misjudgments. I can’t imagine how a person with a multitool can, at 15 feet, be deemed such a danger to four officers that one of them feels he has to shoot.
I wish people would stop saying “you weren’t there.” I’m not going to just blindly accept the account of anybody with a badge, and I’m not going to blame a person with mental illness.
I think it’s high time we consider that some officers are making bad decisions, and reacting to adrenaline more than training and good sense.
