“Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar.” —William Safire, New York Times, 1996

According to the front page of the New York Daily News, Donald Trump and those Americans who exercised their rights in New Hampshire by voting for Donald Trump are “brain dead.” Really? What does the newspaper have to say about the Americans who used their time and energy, attempted to stay warm in the cold snowfall, and drove in traffic to vote for a woman who was called a “congenital liar” in a column written by William Safire, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer for the New York Times?
I asked my readers to Google the column to truly understand who we were dealing with and prove that very little has changed about her in 20 years. She continues to lie and lie and lie. Volumes have been written by many writers about this fabricator. Obviously, Mr. Zuckerman prefers a liar in the oval office? If he and others really want to learn about the Lying Queen, hop on over to the library and take out the book “Unlikeable” by Edward Klein. It is very fast reading and, as it says on the cover, you will learn about “The problem with Hillary.”

Hey there Governor Christie, congratulations on your pyrrhic victory. You did a great job delivering a knockout punch to Sen. Marco Rubio but you didn’t seem to do anything to help yourself. Instead of wasting time and effort beating up on Marco, you would have done a lot better if you worked over Hillary. You would have been given credit for Sanders’ big win over her. There is a whole lot left to say about the Lying Queen, but you said nothing. For a smart guy, you lacked common sense. Maybe next time.

This was all over the news a week ago, but just in case you were away, here’s a bit of information you might have missed:
Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling Republicans “obstructionists” for threatening to block President Obama’s lame-duck Supreme Court nominee. This is the same Chuck Schumer who, a few years ago, called for Democrats to block any new Supreme Court nominations by President Bush — a full 19 months before he left office. Hey there Mr. Senator, it was a great idea then, and it is just as good now. Oh, I understand — the shoe is on the other foot, and that gives you the right to change your mind. Yea! Right!

Nobody really likes wars, but if I had to find something good to say about them, it would be that we learn a bit about geography. Be honest. Up until now, how many of you knew where Falluja, Mosul, and Benghazi are? Sad to say, even though they’ve been in the news quite a bit, so many of us still don’t know. But I did learn, after singing about it all of my life, where “the shores of Tripoli” are. I am StanG
