    Hey, Mr. President: Instead of copying France's military parade, why not copy France's health care system? Health care for all, low-cost prescription drugs, much less expensive.

    Exclusive: At Trump’s direction, Pentagon is planning large-scale military parade inspired by France's Bastille Day celebration

    .: “Treasonous” means betraying your country – like, say, if someone colluded with Russia to influence American elections. The freedom not to clap for ideas you disagree with is called the 1st Amendment.

    Happy 11th Birthday from the office! What an awesome journey it has been, and still so much ahead. As I once heard Paul Saffo say, “Never mistake a clear vision for a short distance” :)
