Dear Glenn,

Welcome back, hope your recovery is smooth and swift. Somewhat off track but still in the ballpark comment to follow.

It is remarkable how many very intelligent commenters seem to gloss over the avalanche of lies that have been sold about Trump. John, how are people to gauge truth value of claims that he’s “a danger to our democracy”, when those promoting this apocolyptic claim, are willing to swallow the Steele dossier, the pee tape, Russia collusion, etc, without a decent review of the dirty tricks campaign to disable his candidacy? I swear in good faith, the hysterical polemics would cut more ice with me, if we had not been lied to about serious matters first, that our leaders and media outlets gave so much credence to.

The above are only a small sample of partisan use of false stories to smear the reputation and hobble the administration of a duly elected president. That truly strains my patience, as false accusations and propaganda are the real threat to democracy. It is unprecidented, and for students of ancient history, the Clinton's network of politiical/media allies are the megaphone that drove the bus. 

I’ll keep it simple. Even if his haters brought the goods, which they have failed to do, so far, despite years of expensive DOJ scrutiny, CIA SNOOPING, and two impeachments, Donald Trump was always my last choice. The Clintons are neck deep in starting this soap opera. Trump spared me living under another Clinton for eight years. And in my world, that earns alot of forgiveness. I don't care about click bait, scurrilous accusations of a personal nature, under these circumstances. After all, if a few are even remotely credible, I’m voting for a president, not a pope. If he's an arm twister, not breaker, he's qualified for the job. And under relentless attack, his administration delivered the policies that produced less regulation, a strong economy, jobs, lower taxes, American energy independece, gas @ $2,79 in Cali, and one more thing - a six - three majority. He's still the better choice among those available. Are you excited about a President Harris. I rest my case.

Climate change catastrophe is an unfalsifiable proposition. And the scaremongering by true believers is governed by the principle - Heads I win - tails you lose. So there, climate hysterics.
