Trump is wrong about Veterans Day. Completely, offensively, disappointingly wrong. In the dark of the night, governing via social media, he decided to do away with the day Congress and the American people have set aside to honor and thank those who have honorably worn the uniform of the United States. No more Veterans Day. This from a guy who holds power because veterans came out in droves for him on Election Day.

The city of Rochester is FUBARed.                Today, stuttering behind a lectern, the mayor condemned a handful of city cops for backing up law enforcement officers who called for help.                It was Malik at his worst, it was progressivism at its most disgusting. In a city where the murder of a legal immigrant hasn’t elicited a response from City Hall or the Sixth Floor, the mayor and the chief have taken some 10 cops off the street because of the handcuffing of two illegal immigrants.

I had intended to run down South Avenue, maybe to Elmwood, and come back through Mount Hope, cross the Ford Street Bridge and head back on Exchange and then Broad.                But on the corner of MLK, across from the ESL building, I heard the screaming of the sirens.                It was chiefs’ trucks, SUVs, from the fire department. You can tell by the sound.
