With eyes on midterms, Trump embraces immigration fight

Say it isn't so! Is Trump planning a last-second reprieve for all those families he's had separated at the border so he can claim how wonderful he is? Is he really using the lives of innocent people to advance his political agenda? Does he really not care about the damage he's doing to so many men, women and children that he's holding hostage? Say it isn't so! (But I know it is. He really IS that evil.)

...Or maybe he'll continue the suffering in order to have his wall built...on the backs of broken families and permanently scarred children. Indeed, he is that evil. Trump is personally responsible for all the pain. If he were human at all just a simple phone call would do it...but he's less than human. In any case, Heaven help us all...and deliver us from the evil that is Trump.

Maybe this will be remembered as the infamous, "Hostages for Wall" deal.

Raging River Cafe

Oh the price of a simple breakfast! For the first time in years, I went out for breakfast...to the little, old eatery in Fall City. After waiting a half hour for the place to open, I had 2 eggs with sausage and hash-browns, tomato juice and coffee. The total for this simple meal for one was $17.79. That's just plain too much! (Uh...there's also that 20% tip which I added to the $17.79 so it ended up costing just over $20 for...what?) I tried adding a review on Yelp to make potential customers aware of the high price of breakfast at the Raging River but Yelp wanted me to sign in...and agree to their terms. I decided not to risk subjecting myself to whatever those terms might be. Instead, I'm just posting my review here:

"I just had breakfast there. The food and service was fine but...$17.79 for 2 eggs and a tomato juice eating there by myself!? That's just a bit out of line and I won't be returning."

So...there it is.

Maybe that's why fast food places like McDonalds stay in business... or maybe that's why I seldom buy my meals out.
