Abraham Lincoln was born on this date 209 years ago. He and George Washington were our greatest presidents, by far. Click to enlarge.

My beloved Arizona Wildcats (20-6) have fallen to 17th in the ranking. This year's team has been inconsistent, which is discouraging. At least we're doing better than Wisconsin!

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

President Donald Trump likes to talk about his love and respect for our military, and now he wants a military parade similar to one he saw on Bastille Day in France.

Trump had his opportunity to serve, but he chose to let us commoners do the heavy lifting. When he got his Vietnam-era draft deferment, he had a doctor’s letter diagnosing him with bone spurs in his heel, he told The New York Times in August 2016.

Trump, very conveniently, could not remember the name of the doctor, which precluded any verification or follow-up.

Also in the interview, Trump said he never sought an operation for the bone spurs, which again precluded any verification or follow-up.

So much for the president’s love and respect for our military.

Note from KBJ: Please dig out your letter about Bill Clinton, Jim. I seem to have missed it.

This will be a big week for Infrastructure. After so stupidly spending $7 trillion in the Middle East, it is now time to start investing in OUR Country!
