I like this column very much. Feel the Democrats should have hung on although I can understand the sentiment for the Snap program. Remember the Republicans went to court to keep people from getting food stamps. Remember this when it’s time to vote. And Trump kept giving parties. Remember!!

The administration went to court to object to what amounted to an illegal order from a lower court judge in Rhode Island who blatantly ignored the separation of powers in the Federal government. The executive branch cannot willing release funds for any program-that is the job of the House of Representatives. The Senate brought a vote 15 times to restore funding by opening the government -all of which were rejected by the Democratic Caucus proving that the left orchestrated this shutdown for “political leverage “.

We flew from Atlanta to Tampa Monday night after an eight hour delay. Glad to get home at 2 am. Both airports were a mess. Thanks for this posting.

Yup. Patty and I missed our connection in Miami for a scary reason —— our plane heading out of Aruba suffered 10 (!) bird strikes. Mechanics had to take off the plane’s nose to inspect it. Now, we’re wondering if we’ll make it out of Miami. Good times.
