Democratic Lies by David L. Miner I recently saw George Stephanopoulos interview our Vice President Elect on ABC's This Week. In that interview, there were a number of statements and claims by Trump that were challenged, but none so pointedly as Trump's Tweet from a few days ago where he claimed he would have won the popular vote if we deducted the millions of illegal votes that were cast.

Dave Miner, the co-author of this blog replied asking, "what football team is that?" I have known Dave for over 40 years and have never questioned his conservative credentials until that post. A true conservative is a baseball fan! Another pseudo conservative friend commented on a post I made about the American League Championship Series that revealed that she fails t o understa...
