The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.

On that Warren house flip, I remember my mom and uncle (priest) sold their father's house in Fall River for a similar price. Property taxes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
My Mom had no intent to move back home, and my uncle lived in diocesan rectories. Still, I thought they could have rented it out.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
It was a nice two-story, a separate apartment upstairs he rented out for a nominal amount, plus a bungalow in the back where a brother lived— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
It was the closest thing to a family home for an Air Force brat growing up. My grandfather passed around the time I earned my first Master's— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
The house was bought by a yuppie couple, who were commuting to Boston, I think. As I recall, they lived there 2-3 years & sold it at double.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
I don't think it bothered my mom that she sold at the wrong time in the real estate cycle. She couldn't manage the property from Texas.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Melissa Gilbert dropped out of the race, for health reasons, to challenge Congressman Bishop (R-MI). Gilbert played Laura Ingalls Wilder.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Ironically Wilder, known as the author of the Little House on the Prarie series, was one of the early libertarians, as Time reports. Not Dem— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016

One never really knows what tweets people will respond to. 'The Courtship of Dick Grayson's Father' (Batman) has taken off; TV execs?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Are they serious? Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are going to debate? Let me guess: Jerry Springer is going to be the moderator?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Sanders and Trump are both economic nationalists; they are anti-trade and anti-immigrant. Both believe in Big Govt and higher taxes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
My sense of the Clinton email server kerfuffle is that Hillary Clinton will get a slap on the wrists. Policies should have been tighter.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
As an IT professional, I would have escalated the issue, even if Clinton could have me fired. I would have considered her request a breach.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
If anyone had access to the nation's secrets beyond POTUS it was Secretary Clinton.The temptation to work around security barriers too great— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
You have to tighten security at points of vulnerability & Clinton's home server was not protected by the govt. A case of emperor no clothes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
The problem is that managers often have discretion. Back in 1999, I had a boss who was changing the company email server to Outlook.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
At the last minute, he announced supervisors would be given another 6 months on the old server. There was a nuance in email addresses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
I did not have control of the email servers. There might have been ways to forward emails from the new email addresses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
But we had a new expense report approval system requiring usable supervisor email addresses; this had been configured for the new addresses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
The system would automatically reject unapproved requests after a configured 2-week period. If the notification email was "lost" no approval— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
I had no way of knowing which managers were opting for my boss' grace period.This is one example of how manager discretion is an issue.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Yes, it was hypocritical that Secretary Clinton's own subordinates had to follow a stricter policy, and I'm sure she did policy training.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
I didn't cover Trump's Tuesday primary victory where he got 75% of the vote competing against himself.I thought he needed June 7 but AP 1238— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Hillary Clinton needs 78 according to AP. She'll easily get that in either CA or NJ by themselves. June 7 is more about the vote vs Sanders.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Trump wants to talk to North Korea? He probably got briefed by Dennis Rodman, who was also on Celebrity Apprentice.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
Trump passed the 1237 delegate threshold (AP and CBS) when enough previously unbound delegates pledged to support his nomination.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
It's the thought that counts. And your thought sucks. #BadInspirationalQuotes— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016
@Trumpbart It looks like Marco Rubio has been eating like Chris Christie. Soon Trump will have to call him "Big Marco".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 26, 2016

(National Review). "In failing to defend Harry Truman’s decision to use the bomb, the leader of the free world will disregard the responsibility of his office to the men and women of the U.S. military." -- Tom Rogan
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes, pure and simple, just like the firebombings of Dresden and Tokyo. There is eyewitness testimony that FDR was presented before Yalta with a Japanese offer to surrender under the same terms offered.
