The States can best govern our home concerns and
the general government our foreign ones.
I wish, therefore ... never to see all offices transferred to Washington,
where, further withdrawn from the eyes of the people,
they may more secretly be bought and sold at market.
Thomas Jefferson

So Donald Trump's evasions are trending. Mostly because the Gray Lady has waited until he's the presumptive nominee.Months after Romney,Cruz— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Donald Trump's evasions on taxes don't bother me; what bothers me is the fact that he is unfit to be President #NeverTrump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Donald Trump's evasions on taxes are not unlike Clinton's evasions on the government emails kept on her home server. He'll choose the time.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
The IRS has already debunked Donald Trump's evasions, his rationale about an ongoing tax audit.Trump's wealth exceeds Romney, hit over his.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Donald Trump's evasions on public disclosure of his taxes really have to do with his unlikely populist politics. Post-2007 he has prospered.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
One of the things annoying me about the Trump tax return kerfuffle trending today is that we are already seeing 'what about Hillary' stuff.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Are we really going to go through 6 months of partisan bickering? Look, Trump brought this all on himself by evading public disclosure.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
From a political standpoint,Trump would have been better served to get it out in the open and dealing with it earlier, not trying to hide it— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I got an earlier reply tweet to the point that a recent Oregon poll showed Trump with under 50%, saying it's because Lyin' Ted is on ballot.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
It's like monkey see, monkey do. Trump comes up with these nicknames like 'Crooked Hillary' and all Trump cultists repeat the mantra.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Okay, now my thoughts on the Hillary speech transcript kerfuffle. I didn't sit in on the speeches; I guarantee they didn't pay for content.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
One of my sisters reads children's books at libraries; if Hillary Clinton did that gig, all the kids would be taking their naps.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Hillary Clinton could command that type of fee because she's a potential POTUS and a celebrity.She's in demand as a speaker: supply & demand— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I'm a far better public speaker than any of the yokels who have been running for POTUS. I would have trouble drawing a crowd for a freebie.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I could seat all the regular readers of my free political blog or Twitter followers in a regular classroom and have empty seats.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Could you imagine if I presented myself as a write-in candidate for POTUS? Murkowski had it easy;try teaching voters how to spell my surname— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I seriously doubt there's any smoking gun Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump would find in Boring Hillary's speeches. Nope, not a Trump nickname— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
What do they expect to find? "Once I'm elected, every attendee is entitled to a special rate at the Lincoln Bedroom, breakfast with POTUS"?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I've got 6 younger siblings and 21 nephews and nieces; how many of them follow my blog or Twitter? Mom would vote for me: I'm not Hillary.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Obama must cease & desist his nosy intrusions into other countries' internal affairs, like opposition to the forthcoming Brexit referendum.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
If and when Britain exits the EU, our first priority should be free trade with one of our oldest trading partners through American history.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Kudos to Wendy's for its plan to replace minimum-wage cashiers with self-order kiosks. Of course, franchise owners could opt not to use them— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I would like to see the self-order concept broadened. Do I really need to wait for a waitress to take my order, tell me what they're out of?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Never mind having to wait 10 minutes for a refill on coffee or for the check. At WalMart I do self-service all the time vs. waiting in lines— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
I tend to be patient in queues, but did you ever follow some mother in line who is literally buying 200 file folders at one time?Apocalypse?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Trump knows how to spend other people's money; that's how he went bankupt in business 4 times. But on debt: "IT'S THE SPENDING, STUPID!"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Trump doesn't have the stones to tell you what spending he'll cut. Not the bloated defense budget, not the 70% of entitlement spending.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Venezuela socialist strongman Maduro is once again trying to scapegoat his own mismanagement of the economy on bogus bogeyman US "threats".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Dennis Prager is right: the reason why Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee is because the Left has substituted its Statist values.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 14, 2016
Attention, Bernie Sanders shoppers. This is the real face of socialism. Venezuela, it's not just about toilet paper https://t.co/nDZF3ferjP— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 15, 2016

Rod Stewart (featuring Ronald Isley), "This Old Heart of Mine". I love, love, love this remake--each and every glorious note. Pop music doesn't get better than this. One of my all-time favorites, period.
