Today, I'm feeling just a smidgeon of hope. [View all]

I'm very aware of the times before where Trump is concerned when I felt some hope, and those hopes were dashed the next day. So, I'm going to try to just enjoy the rest of today before that happens tomorrow. If it doesn't happen, then I'll be grateful.

Two things today: The judge ruling that the Trump name has to be taken off of the Kennedy Center, and the other judge reopening the IRS investigation.

Allow me this hope for the rest of today. Even if you disagree with me. Because I need some hope. We all do. If I'm being foolish, you can call me that tomorrow.

But TWO judges today! Happy Birthday, John F. Kennedy!
