Any bets on how soon it will be before the crazies on the Left start to blame Hurricane Harvey on:
1. Climate Change (or whatever they are calling it this week);
2 Trump, or
3. Racism (since Houston has a large African American population)?
I give it a week tops!

What Happened?
My high school football coach used to say, "Gentlemen, There are 3 kinds of people in the world. People who make things happen.; People who watch things happen and people who say, 'What happened?' Which kind of people will you be?"
Hillary Clinton just release her new book, "What Happened". How fitting. Guess we know which of the 3 she is!

Violence Against Hate Speech Not A Virtue
As reprehensible as the neo-Nazis, the KKK and other right wing hate groups are, violence from left wing radicals is not the solution and is unacceptable.
Freedom of speech is messy because no one controls the content of that speech. However, as Americans we have the God given right to say what we want but we don't have any right to inflict violence on those with whom we disagree or find offensive. Once we stop being a nation of laws, we cease being an exceptional nation.
The calls from the Left to limit free speech in order to stop hate speech are asinine and particularly self-serving because they intend to be the arbiters of what is acceptable speech. You can be sure that if that day ever comes, any opposition to left wing policies, statism or collectivism will be deemed hate speech and be forbidden. America as the "Land of the free and the home of the brave" will be no more. As with the Left's solutions to poverty, prosperity and fairness, their solutions for ending hate speech will do far more harm than good. All Americans should reject their false promises.

Pursuit of the Perfect Will Cost the Republicans
There is a saying, "Don't let the pursuit of the perfect be the enemy of the possible." This is sound advice yet that is exactly what the Republicans are doing when it comes to repealing and replacing Obamacare. Instead of fixing it one piece at a time and making things better, they are fighting amongst themselves and accomplishing absolutely nothing and they will pay a heavy price at the polls in 2018 and 2020. This doesn't mean voters will replace them with Democrats however. No, the hapless, establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will be tossed out on their ears and replaced, not by Democrats (no one is buying what they are selling anymore) but rather by Republicans who will keep their promises.
On Monday McConnell slammed the President for not understanding the legislative "process" and having unrealistic expectations. What McConnell doesn't seem to understand is that like Trump, the people don't give a damn about the process; they want results. With control of the White House, the Senate and the House, the public doesn't believe it is too much to expect the repeal and replacement of a hated and failing Democrat healthcare bill, fixing our borders and stopping illegal immigration, reducing taxes, and passing a budget.
It shouldn't be too much to expect our legislators to keep their promises. If voters can't depend on Democrats or Establishment Republicans to do what they promised and were elected to do, trust me, the people will find someone who will. That is the process Mitch McConnell ought to be concerned about.
