An interesting read, especially George W’s emphasis on Washington’s humility and restraint. Casting shade? Definitely a contrast with the current holder of the office.

The district court’s block of Trump’s national guard deployment in Chicago is upheld by 7th Court of Appeals: “political opposition is not rebellion.” Truth!

Republican Gov.
