September 5, 2017 --

LPR's Thoughts and Prayers ...

...are with the people of southeast Texas, including Houston, and on into Louisiana -- indeed, all those devastated by Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath. May the Almighty grant quick relief and a speedy recovery to all those in the region of this destructive storm, and may all who have been separated from loved ones enjoy a joyous and early reunion.

Congratulations ...

Insight from William McGurn, citing his Wall Street Journal column, “Main Street,” August 29: ...

“[I]t won’t be easy to find the good Democratic candidates necessary to gain the 24 seats the party needs in the House. As for the Senate, 10 Democrats are up for reelection in states that went for Mr. Trump, against only one Republican in a state carried by Hillary Clinton.” (Or, continued predictions in The New York Times that Trump will send the GOP down to congressional defeat in 2018 will just be more imaginary political journalism.)
