I warned you a while back that the DemocRats were dead set on hounding President Donald Trump until he is either dead or imprisoned. I pointed out how, in the past, Rush Limbaugh was right when he said: We don't go after our ex-presidents. We allow them to retire in peace. And I told you …

Unlike last year, this year's crowd was back to normal, filling the lawn at the Bellevue Downtown Park with picnic blankets, chairs, coolers, and even some shelters. And …

I've traveled to cities large and small, old and new, in my 73 years. In all of my travels, my very favorite city is an old one, a college town in England that has been settled for around 2,000 years. I first went there in 1984 with my first husband. We liked it so much, …
