Conservative commentator Philip Giraldi shares a few observations from his recent trip to Italy: “In the course of the week we managed to speak to many of the co-celebrants, primarily those from Italy, Germany and Britain and the conversations inevitably turned to the subject of Donald Trump and what he is doing. I fully expected that I would receive an earful, but what actually developed was quite a surprise. Nearly everyone had good things to say about the American president, though there were suggestions that he might be more than just a little bit pazzo, verrückt, or bonkers.”

What a hoot! Sen. Kaine’s proposal empanels a batch of national security experts to sit around discussing climate change, presumably with long faces, although the legislation doesn’t specifically require them.

I love conspiracy theories. This one is actually Great.
