Greetings!  Here’s the alarming headline from yesterday’s Washington Free Beacon’s top story that I need to bring to your attention again: “It’s Time to Rename January After Donald Trump.” When I first saw it, I thought it was  satire –  the Beacon occasionally runs parody pieces.  I reviewed it several times before I was convinced the Beacon’s  Andrew Stiles was serious, based on his opinion of The Donald’s MAGA moves each January.
