Jeff Byard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s associate administrator for response and recovery, said the important issue was that the hurricane would a “Mike […]

Just in time to remind America why voters elected Donald Trump president two years ago, ex-President Barack Obama emerged from political exile last week. Pompous, insufferable, self-enthralled, cliched and uninspiring, he picked up right where he left off.
