Here, in case you're interested, is a handout that I prepared for my Logic students. This fall's Logic course will be my 28th.

Re “How smart is Donald Trump?” (Opinion, Aug. 6): Let’s put aside the meaningless designation of IQ, and reflect that Donald Trump’s intelligence, such as it is, has been narrowly geared to exploit and manipulate others, and to enrich himself. He is unable to think deeply or honestly. His ignorance and incuriosity are breathtaking. His mind has been stunted by his character. Drop this nonsense about IQ!

Fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok is a fraud, as is the rigged investigation he started. There was no Collusion or Obstruction with Russia, and everybody, including the Democrats, know it. The only Collusion and Obstruction was by Crooked Hillary, the Democrats and the DNC!

Fool for the City (1975). The title song of a great album. I love the chords at 1:30 and 2:41.

To the editor:
Kayfabing may be an innocuous promotional device in the bizarre world of pro wrestling, but it’s not a word that comes even close to describing Trump’s actions as president of the United States.
Decent Americans know exactly what Trump is doing: lying. This lying is abetted by a Republican Party that is bringing us ever closer to rule by a dangerous “authoritarian monster.”
And that’s no kayfabe.

Note from KBJ: There is no evidence, to this point, that either (1) Trump lied about anything or (2) Trump is a racist, and yet these are articles of faith among leftists. This is derangement, folks. Saying something over and over again does not make it true.

Agent Peter Strzok was just fired from the FBI – finally. The list of bad players in the FBI & DOJ gets longer & longer. Based on the fact that Strzok was in charge of the Witch Hunt, will it be dropped? It is a total Hoax. No Collusion, No Obstruction – I just fight back!
