Remembering my dad, a Korean War veteran, this Memorial Day. I am grateful for his service. Glad he isn’t here to witness our current shit show. He would be really upset.

Folks concerned about a White House covering up a faltering old man better start talking about Trump. Read about this shocking - and dangerous - incident of Trump once again being distant from what is happening around him.
