An evening to break out the good stuff.

#2 Imagine Trump telling the Iranians "please work with me on this. I do not want to turn the issue over to Mad Dog."

#4 Bolton would be the piece that fits the puzzle. And when done, gird your spines and loins as it will mean we're finally serious about addressing the jihadi issue, particularly on the domestic front.

#5 Needs a law from Congress to grant him a waiver from the long-standing prohibition of someone less than seven years after active duty service from assuming that position. Such a law might be filibustered.

#6 Good. Mattis to make Defense into warriors again. Session to clean up the SJW in Justice. Now get Bolton to clean out the State Dept and we are well on the way to rolling back Obama's damage.
