DRAIN THE SWAMP

It is amazing to me that I am beginning today's blog with a snippet from a newspaper with virtually no credibility, The New York Times. This newspaper, over this past weekend, publicly promised its readers to 'self-reflect' after the election and re-dedicate itself to truth. (The implication being that truth was not a particularly important goal in their previous reporting.) I doubt that we will be seeing any changes from this left-leaning rag - leopards can't change their spots and tigers can't change their stripes.

WASHINGTON — After President-elect Donald J. Trump promised to “drain the swamp” that he sees in the nation’s capital, his millions of supporters are expecting vast changes in the sprawling federal bureaucracy, and conservative activists are drooling at the chance to remake, resize or reduce the reach of government.

Perhaps I was thinking about 'draining the swamp' when I just happened to pass this giant drain pipe while taking an urban hike in a Cincinnati suburb on Monday afternoon.

With Trump's promise to 'drain the swamp' in Washington, DC.... I decided to climb down into this giant drain that I passed last evening while hiking in a Cincinnati suburb.
