After eight years of ideologically driven lawlessness, we finally have a president who will enforce the law. Thank God.

Stanley Clarke (1974).

We now have Betsy DeVos as our new education secretary, and her main push will be to funnel tax funding to the private and charter schools, away from the public schools where it belongs.

There will be no accountability on these schools’ part required. They will be able to preach and teach whatever they decide students should hear, with public schools suffering all the way.

With DeVos’ total lack of experience, it is disgraceful that we are being railroaded with her appointment. Par for the new Trump course.

JAY W. GOULD, MIAMI

Note from KBJ: Stop putting teachers' unions ahead of our children, Jay.

The failing @nytimes does major FAKE NEWS China story saying "Mr.Xi has not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14." We spoke at length yesterday!

I bought five boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. How many did you buy?

Pat Buchanan is exactly right.

Sen. Mitch McConnell and the other GOP Senators simply took the bait and the Democrats reeled-in a prize public relations fish.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren had every right to read Coretta Scott King’s historical letter to the Senate during the floor debate regarding the nomination of fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. And guess what: It would have made no difference in the final vote count approving his nomination.

By censuring Warren, the message from Republicans was clear: “Sit down and shut up, woman.”

This action created screaming headlines for national news outlets and elevated Warren to an even higher profile within the Democratic Party and among tens of millions of American women who are now even angrier at Trump and the GOP.

Sometimes in life, we must just let the opposing party in a discussion (political opponent, fellow worker, homeowner association member, friend, spouse) simply “get it off their chest” and move on.

In this instance, the Grand Old Party swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker; an amusing thing to watch.

Note from KBJ: Poor Ted Steinmeyer Jr! He can't wrap his little mind around the fact that Elizabeth Warren (a.k.a. Fauxcahontas, who lied her way to the top) is now the face of the Democrat Party. Mitch McConnell is a genius. Good luck in 2018 and 2020, Ted!
