[The progressives’ inability to think logically, or even coherently, is on parade again across the nation. ICE officers arresting illegal aliens may not wear face coverings to hide their personal identity (their official identity is visible from their uniforms, labeled jackets/vests, and badges) to prevent terrorists’ doxing their residences thereby threatening their families. But it’s OK for leftwingers to support obvious criminals to wear identity-concealing face coverings as they riot, pillage, and burn while attacking law enforcement officers on the streets of America’s cities. gjr]

re: The Melania Trump Opera House (or whatever).
Too funny. It wouldn’t last but boy the DNC-affiliated news organizations are cookin’ on that one.
Personally, I can’t stand naming things after people (although the ‘USNS Milk’ had to be totally funny for any regular Navy people) and renaming them after yet another person is silly. Dunno why JFK was viewed as a saint given his tendency to hump anything that moved and a lot of things that didn’t.
It’s a good uproar and certainly equivalent to sneaking in tens of millions of illegal aliens to beef up the Congressional ranks.
Honestly, I wonder if there isn’t enough head-shaped rock to add D. Trump to Mt. Rushmore next to Lincoln or Washington.
