Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Prime Minister Kishida gave a magnificent speech. What a statesman!

When one considers that some of his forebears died at the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, for the Prime Minister to show affection for America and for him to ask that we remain the America he, in part, grew up in makes his oratory some of the most riveting I have heard -- a breath of fresh air amidst the miasma of M.A.G.A.'s bool-sheet.

Thank you! I could not agree more and your succinct summation about PM Kishida is what I was also thinking but brain drained from finishing a letter of my own regarding a lousy town zoning decision. I took a peak at email and am now wrestling with the fact that I broke my own rule about reading HCR's Letter in the wee hours vs. with my morning coffee as now I can't get back to sleep!! Sigh!

I too read in the wee hours. Usually there is something positive to take from her words, so I can go to sleep. Not tonight though. I am so angry and discouraged that people can just flat out lie and continually get away with it.

Yes, it's astonishing how the mere repetition of a lie gives it a presence. Then, the media's repetition of the lie amplifies and implants it in the public imagination. And so, this vapor becomes a topic for discussion. It attains a quasi-reality because even a false hypothesis exists.

Yep, no more sleep for me either. I too broke the Letters From and Civil Discourse-with-morning-coffee rule.

That description of how to lie effectively came straight from Mien Kampf; I can believe that chump read one book in his life. The part on telling a “big lie” effectively came straight from the master of lying. Chump is his best student.
