This afternoon, at a Shell station in Arlington, Texas, I paid $2.279 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. With my Kroger card, it came to $2.179. What're y'all payin' in your neck o' the woods?

Donald Trump's approval rating is 46%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (15 August 2011) was 44%.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

Nicole Sanderson (“This is a battle for soul of our country,” Letters, Aug. 12) makes an excellent point that racism is deeply entrenched in this nation. It is, and it is a serious problem. But the danger to our nation and its citizens is far worse than Sanderson suggests. Clearly, we are in troubled times, teetering on the cusp of something very frightening. People are running scared. I’m scared too. If Donald Trump is given another term in office, it is almost certain that we will lose our democratic institutions.

With another term in office, Trump will have packed the Supreme Court, turned the Justice Department into his own set of henchmen, converted the Senate Intelligence Committee into a lapdog, eviscerated the independence of the FBI, and launched a full-scale attack on the freedom of the press. And if this happens, what will we have done to our children and grandchildren? We will have lost their freedom.

This is no time to be a summer soldier or sunshine patriot. We all need to step up and volunteer to do something to prevent Trump from being reelected.

Note from KBJ: The things Richard Sutherland fears are things Barack Obama did (or tried to do, or would have done, had he been able to get away with it). Get some help with your disease, Richard.

The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election. The problem they have is that the economy is way too strong and we will soon be winning big on Trade, and everyone knows that, including China!
