I was reviewing all the events of the past fortnight wondering what I could write that I haven't already said or that someone else had already put their print on that particular canvas. I am sitting down here in warm Florida while many of you are up home in the cold, looking at snow.
President Trump echoed his predecessors recently in incorporating into his State of the Union address a call for unity and cooperation, but we can all agree this lofty goal will not be accomplished easily - or anytime soon. Prejudice and discrimination still pervade far too many homes and governmental offices, diverse perspectives are conspicuously absent within our deliberative bodies, and sacrifice for the good of others is an afterthought in our era of high-dollar campaigns financed by powerful interest groups.
Notwithstanding the bankruptcies, the fraud settlement, the admitted sexual assaults, the litany of lies about everything from crowd size to approval ratings to Inauguration Day weather, his word is golden. From Rep. Devin Nunes' pathetically transparent attempts to save Trump from himself in the Russia probe to poll numbers indicating GOP voters would, indeed, support him even if he stood in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shot somebody, the party implicitly insists this self-interested con artist is a good man.

The Department of Justice used the unverified dossier to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Carter Page, an alleged "foreign policy adviser" to Donald Trump.
According to Amarillo Police Department, a drunk 19-year-old allegedly caused a wreck which killed two people, including an 11-year-old girl.

I'm referring, of course, to the lack of a White House pet for the first time in more than 150 years. Even Vice President Mike "Bonecrusher" Pence has famously installed two cats, a rabbit and a snake in the official residence on the U.S. Naval Observatory grounds.
Pro-life demonstrators march towards the US Supreme Court during the 44th annual March for Life in Washington, DC, on January 27, 2017.

The nomination of radical student activist Joshua Wong Chi-fung, two allies and the 2014 Occupy movement adds power to the arm of hawks in Beijing and marginalises those who are not unamenable to some degree of electoral freedom for Hong Kong It is not normally known who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize - let alone who is being seriously considered - unless the nominators reveal the names to serve their own agenda. The Norwegian Nobel committee applies a 50-year secrecy rule to the nominees.
The NRA should disclose whether its political fundraising is as red, white and blue as the image it attempts to project. The politically powerful National Rifle Association reported spending $55 million on the 2016 elections, $30 million alone supporting President Donald Trump's candidacy.

Newly elected Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell at his law office in downtown Scranton. Butch Comegys / Staff Photographer Story by Kohut Don't bother arguing because you probably won't change the mind of someone who sees nothing but politics in new Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell asking four staffers to resign this week.
It's not often that an obscure state official manages to lay a serious defeat on the President of the United States. But that's what Alex Padilla pulled off early this year, and he did it without any gloating.

Republicans in control of the Pennsylvania Legislature gerrymandered the state's congressional districts, seeking to entrench their party in power. Now that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that the state's partisan gerrymandering was unconstitutional , we're seeing an unprecedented assault on the rule of law.
Last week, President Trump delivered a State of the Union address that won the approval of 75 percent of viewers, including 43 percent of Democrats. Normally, presidents try to ride the wave from a successful State of the Union as long as they can.
I understand why you want a conservative editorial cartoonists but Lisa Benson's cartoon with the Republican FISA warrant memo about to blow away Democrats and Republicans alike, shows her to believe, or at least to promote, the fiction that there is some great revelation in the memo. There is not.
