If instead of a gem, or even a flower,
we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend,
that would be giving as the angels give.

This is yet another example of misleading Leftist zero-sum morally corrupt "Politics of Envy" economic propaganda. "Our Broken Economy"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 8, 2017
This left-fascist doesn't explain how this "broken" global economy has reduced the poverty rate below 10% for 1st time. "Our Broken Economy"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 8, 2017
Somehow poorer people are eating better, living longer, learning more than at any prior time in history: broken? "Our Broken Economy"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 8, 2017

One of the best things from Trump's election has been scrapping Obama's counterproductive regulations, e.g., marrow. https://t.co/hXMySEy8ji— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 9, 2017
Trump wants to make the Korean War great again. I was wondering why stocks took a dive this afternoon and it was Trump's big mouth on NK.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 9, 2017
Trump's promise to put America "first" rings hollow. We're still in Afghanistan, the US and Russia are trading sanctions, and trade wars!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 9, 2017

RIP: Glen Campbell
From Glenn's official FB page:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and legendary singer and guitarist, Glen Travis Campbell, at the age of 81, following his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Glen is survived by his wife, Kim Campbell of Nashville, TN; their three children, Cal, Shannon and Ashley; his children from previous marriages, Debby, Kelli, Travis, Kane, and Dillon; ten grandchildren, great- and great-great-grandchildren; sisters Barbara, Sandra, and Jane; and brothers John Wallace “Shorty” and Gerald.
In lieu of flowers, donations for Alzheimer’s research may be made to the Glen Campbell Memorial Fund at BrightFocus Foundation through the donation page at Careliving.org.

A personal statement from Kim Campbell will follow.
The family appreciates your prayers and respect for their privacy at this time.
This one really hurts; I grew up with Glen's music and used to watch his TV shows. One of the first albums I ever bought was a great hits compilation. Of course, his Alzheimer's (the subject of his last award-winning hit and the last selection below) led to a premature end to his marvelous music career. Basically any selection of his hits is arbitrary; for my favorite performance, which was on that first compilation and oddly enough not a hit, see today's tweets. [Edit: a version with Webb playing piano is below.] "Galveston" was an unlikely anti-war hit with a magnificent soaring arrangement. Campbell made compelling interpretations of Jimmy Webb classic pop hits, and it seems criminal to leave out classics like "Wichita Lineman", "Gentle On My Mind", and "By the Time I Get To Phoenix".
