Here are my observations and opinions on selected news of the day.
GREAT NEWS – The president has asked his Chief of Staff John Kelly to stay on through 2020, and he has agreed. That is great news that will certainly upset the media, which has had him resigning for months.

WAGES AND BENEFITS ARE RISING at the fastest pace in 10 years and workers are beginning to feel it. And there’s further good news – employees in the private sector are faring better than those in government. Meanwhile, the jobless rate has dipped to an 18-year low, according to MarketWatch.
Still, more companies are complaining that they cannot find sufficient numbers of skilled workers. On that front, President Trump signed into law the Perkins CTE Act, to provide crucial funding toward training programs for American students and job seekers.
MORE ON TRUMP ANXIETY DISORDER – “In all fairness, it was a traumatic experience for many on the left,” writes Mike LaChance in Townhall, “Nearly every pundit and expert in the country had assured them for months that there was absolutely no way Trump would ever be elected president. Most of them even insisted Hillary Clinton would not only win but carry the election in a landslide.”

“How else could you describe the mental state of people who organized groups to scream at the sky on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s 2016 victory?” La Chance asks.
“Democrats and their allies in media, as well as the left’s army of professional activists, have tried everything they can think of to reverse or invalidate the 2016 election, most notably through the seemingly never-ending Mueller investigation.
“Liberals tune in to CNN and MSNBC on a nightly basis, waiting for that one shred of proof of Russian collusion that Democrat Adam Schiff of California keeps telling them is just around every corner.”
La Chance suggested readers, who deemed the president as mentally unfit for office, should perhaps seek out Yale’s professor of forensic psychiatry, Bandy Lee, for a self-examination for the disorder. She had suggested that the president be evaluated “by force” if necessary for an evaluation.
AND FINALLY – A friend e-mailed me with this interesting thought: Judges who say we don’t need to stand for the National Anthem expect us to stand when they enter the court room. What do you suppose would happen if everyone took a knee when he or she entered the court room?
May God bless the United States of America.
