- This week’s note in Trumpian ‘Alternative Facts’ comes from, well, RedState as Susan Wright listens to the mother of Sgt. La David Johnson to confirm that Donald Trump is lying and Frederica Wilson is truthtelling about the unfortunate insult to a Gold Star mother by my President.

- nojo, at Stinque is impatient at an all too common childlike liberal fantasy, specifically when it is applied to John Kelly.

- Amid all the muddle of White House compassion-gate, Tommy Christopher notices one very odd omission.
