I received my Ph.D. degree (in philosophy) 29 years ago today, at the University of Arizona. From left: Joel Feinberg (my dissertation director), Ronald D. Milo, yours truly, and Allen E. Buchanan. It was a happy moment, one I'll always remember. Click to enlarge.

After the latest of President Donald Trump’s numerous disasters involving his public image, as well as the continuing lies, misquotes, and name calling, etc., we again have many of the GOP stepping up and rightfully finding fault with this man's actions. When will the so-called leaders of the GOP really step up to the plate and once and for all condemn this individual for all his poor decisions, lies, mistakes and missteps, and finally take action to disavow themselves, while beginning the process of finding and developing an alternative to Trump for the 2020 election?

Now is the time for these leaders to show some backbone and distance themselves and the party from this individual. Considering the lack of drive by the Democrats to foster any type of reasonable candidate to lead the country in 2020, the GOP could make a positive impression on voters and citizens. Republicans could prove they truly are looking out for the long-term future of this country and its reputation throughout the world as the leader of freedom and economic improvement, as opposed to only salvaging their own special interests and positions within the party. Currently, Republicans are allowing the U.S. to be viewed not as an ally, but rather as an adversary to both the average citizens of the U.S. and those in other parts of the world, who have always looked to the U.S. as a true friend to be depended on.

Let’s hope Republicans act, before it’s too late, and we are stuck with this polluter of the so-called swamp for another four years.

Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX. The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier which was, along with Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch Hunt. Disgraceful!

This evening, at a Shell station in Arlington, Texas, I paid $2.659 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. With my Kroger card, it came to $2.559. What're y'all payin' in your neck o' the woods?
