Donald Trump was caught in a lie on live television. “For months, Donald Trump has claimed that he opposed the Iraq War before the invasion began — as an example of his great judgment on foreign policy issues,” BuzzFeed reports. “But in a 2002 interview with Howard Stern, Donald Trump said he supported an Iraq invasion.” Watch him squirm on CNN when confronted with his lies.

Some people have a pathological need to run.  I don't know why. (Well, actually, yes I do.  Every now and then, the stars align and one of these losers gets elected. Including Williams. And, uh, Karen Weldin Stewart, anyone?) Dennis E. Williams is one of those people.  No, he's not running for Congress, his nascent candidacy apparently having died aborning.  Instead he's gonna give the voters of the 10th Rep. District a chance to admit they were wrong when they threw Williams' sorry ass out of the General Assembly in 2014.  Problem is, Sean Matthews proved the voters right.  Even with Pete & Val parking political operatives in the 10th to save one of their lackeys, Matthews defeated Williams by a 55-45 margin.  It will be much larger this time, but, hey, Dennis, thanks for the filing fee.  Although I now must dig into my pockets to send some $$'s Matthews' way.  He is already one of the most valuable legislators we have in Dover, especially on education.
