If you were going to prison for multiple years after pleading guilty to a slew of crimes, including tax evasion and bank fraud, what would you do?

Other than the toilets backing up in those same parks, we do seem to be remarkably short of bad outcomes from this process. Sure, there are a lot of people complaining they’re not getting their paychecks, but us not having to pay bureaucrats is a saving to us taxpayers, not a cost.

By remaining coy and then surprising the military members, Trump effectively gave the military the recognition they deserve. Then it caused the media to bend itself into a pretzel backtracking, spinning, and complaining. Trump now looks heroic, selfless, full of grace, humor, and concern while the media looks petty, boring, even belligerent in their attempt to frame Trump’s behavior.

The newspaper reported this weekend that the judge’s nomination fight has damaged his high school so badly that it is searching for an alumni relations director to soften the bad press…The only problem? Georgetown Prep began the search for a director of alumni relations back in July, months before the judge’s teenage hijinks became the focus of news media scrutiny.

A new report reveals that women in the United States illegally had 297,000 children in 2014 at a cost of $2.4 billion. That is $800 million more than the Senate has approved for Trump’s border wall this year and enough to pay for the wall over 10 years.
