Enough already about the rats. The Review-Journal’s Michael Ramirez, in his Aug. 5 political cartoon, used that topic to get in a swipe against Baltimore and the residents of that large and historic city.

President Donald Trump loves to refer to Democratic-controlled cities as rat-infested places where no human would want to live. Surely he jests. The fact is, rats and rodents don’t pick and choose just a few American cities to live in. They are in all of them.

Using rat talk as a way to put down people is not a winning political strategy for Mr. Trump, and it reminds us only that someone in the White House might need to set a few traps, as I hear it is also infested.

Memo to Mr. Trump: Get a cat.

I would bet on Brightline. If they don’t succeed, it will only be because said great state of California got in the way.

The objective is to show that Mr. Trump is not a nice person, and with biased judges and juries, the verdicts are already determined.

I cannot comprehend why identification is not required to vote in Nevada, yet it is required to pick up hair spray.
