OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

It doesn’t matter what your politics are regarding immigration. If they do not begin and end with human beings needing to be treated with dignity and respect, especially when it comes to the enforcement of the law, your politics are wrong.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:

- It’s β€˜voilΓ ,’ not β€˜wallah!’
- It’s β€˜a lot,’ not β€˜alot.’
- It’s β€˜further ado,’ not β€˜farther adieu.’
- It’s β€˜flesh out,’ not β€˜flush out.’
- It’s β€˜sneak peek,’ not β€˜sneak peak.’

No worries if not!!!
