Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! As a former public school teacher and principal, I know how hard they work. Teachers are the backbone of our community and future—let’s thank them today and every day for all they do to support our children!

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

The company behind these loans is the single largest donor to Congressman John Rose, who has announced his candidacy for governor of Tennessee. 🦞

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

www.politico.com/magazine/sto... I am so sorry. My grandparents came here to avoid Hitler's death camps. If not for that, there would be no me. Oh, Stephen. Pulling up the ladder after you got in the lifeboat. A shame to your family.

Destroying everything that is good in the US, one insane executive order at a time.
