George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876), one of my heroes, was born on this date 180 years ago.

I heard our president at a recent campaign rally in Florida. He again used vulgar language to rally the troops. It seems to me to be unbecoming of the presidency to use such language, and in front of children no less.

I have always thought of the office of the president as something to be revered and honored. His behavior cheapens the office to the people around the world who see this. I hope he refrains from further staining the office.

Note from KBJ: You're confused, Barry. It was Bill Clinton who stained the office, both literally and figuratively. Oh wait; is that too vulgar for you?

This morning, at a Tom Thumb station in Arlington, Texas, I paid $2.179 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. What're y'all payin' in your neck o' the woods?

Donald Trump's approval rating is 52%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (5 December 2011) was 46%.

Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit. She hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and sooo much more. Stock Market and employment records. She says she “prays for the President.” I don’t believe her, not even close. Help the homeless in your district Nancy. USMCA?

Here is Ann Coulter's latest column.

Re “A 'deplorable’ talks about what he deplores” (Letters, Nov. 28): Among the greatest perils to democracy are those citizens who go about their lives with their head in the sand and a chip on their shoulder. Many continue down this path, influenced by sound bites, and not looking into the substance of the argument. Granted, the Robert Mueller inquiry was questionable. But Brett Kavanaugh got a bye; he was a flawed candidate.

Regardless of what one thought of the House Intelligence Committee inquiries led by chairman Adam Schiff, insurmountable and credible evidence was provided by witnesses of impeccable character. One has to give serious consideration to the information in determining whether this president has overstepped his bounds and to what detriment to this nation.

“I love the poorly educated,” Donald Trump said during one of his 2016 campaign speeches. Don’t let him make a fool out of you.

Note from KBJ: We love President Trump, Ted. We're going to elect him again! By the way, I have five college degrees. How many do you have?
