After last weekend, though, his only shot will be through an invasion of Norway. Why did he make such a sacrifice?

To the Editor: When protests broke out in Iran, President Trump warned the Iranian government against harming the protesters. He stated the United States was locked and loaded.

The truth, which is now seldom spoken, and never spoken by our nation’s “Liar in Chief,” just keeps getting worse and worse. I am thankful for our still (for now, anyway) free press and late night television comedians’ rants posted on Youtube about the state of our country.”
