Can there be a sadder image than this? The White House in a cage? FDR is rolling in his grave. Or rather raging, pleading to us all: get up off our collective a***s and finally announce: this is NOT who we are, or want to be! The graft, the corruption, the grift, all the while millions of American can't afford basics. Make this personal, and go vote in November.

Only the hackiest screenwriter imaginable would script America’s debasement this way.

This is what true leadership sounds like.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has inspired populist movements globally, could not overcome the growing dissatisfaction of his own citizens.

The current resident of the White House has neither the cunning of Grant nor the acuity of FDR. Playing war poker with American lives and fortunes is a dangerous game for us all.

President Trump demanded that Iran capitulate in the war with the United States, invoking a phrase made famous by statesmen and generals.

It would seem that masked brown-shirted federal law enforcement officers killed two law abiding citizens in Minneapolis this week exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to free assembly and freedom of speech. In a major irony, the latest victim was a nurse at a VA hospital who was legally carrying a firearm—never even drawn—who is now being branded as a "domestic terrorist" because he exercised his right to carry a weapon. Shot TEN times in the back.

Think about this for a moment: federal officials have gunned down TWO US citizens this past week on the streets of a major American city solely because they were exercising their constitutionally granted rights.

Isn't this precisely what many on the left AND the right have always feared: direct armed federal intervention in state and local affairs??

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not who we are as Americans. Get a hold of your legislators on both sides of the aisle and say: stop! This is a dangerous path, and we have had enough.

See how immigration officers escalated a fatal confrontation on Saturday.

Thousands out in subzero temperatures, exercising their rights of free speech in the United States. Agree or disagree with the protest premise: undoubtedly Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt would be Minnesota proud today.

Thousands of protesters shut down streets throughout Minneapolis-St. Paul to demand that federal immigration agents end their weekslong crackdown. Businesses closed in solidarity.

A small little man has wasted 45M dollars on his small little parade which funds could have gone to help almost anyone in Amerca do anything better. It's time to speak up friends! This is not normal. Shout up, act up! This is not normal! It is our constitutional right to air grievances and seek a better America. The spirit of Franklin Roosevelt is with you!

President Trump’s military parade drew a subdued crowd to Washington while hundreds of thousands protested nationwide.

We are deeply saddened at the death of Pope Francis today. But if one had to choose a way to go, it's hard to imagine that death could have been accomplished with more dignity and grace, or a more gentle release: a final appearance on Easter, the feast of redemption; a final appeal for the world's oppressed immigrants, and then the gentlest of all immigrations to a greater beyond as a reward for a life's work well and truly done.

I doubt Francis met any opposition at the only border that matters.

A lesson for us all.

Goodbye Pope Francis, and thank you.
