How does that correspond to the the number of holes of golf he has played in the same time frame? Or number of guests eating wagyu beef each “Party Wednesday” at the White Crib?

The liberal media gave weekly reports of the deaths when Bush was president. They loved showing all the coffins and commenting constantly. Chris Matthews was one of the worst offenders. Where are they now?

Somewhere I read that’s more than the last four years of Bush. And where’s the media? Every night (until I got sick of PBS) The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer always showed the troops killed that day and on Friday the full week in review. Now, not a peep anywhere - I no longer watch the alphabet news stations on TV anymore.

In a Republican was in power we would be hearing about this every day—there would be marches in the streets. When the Republicans win back the White House it will come out again. Look how they are using the over extended unemployment checks to charge that the Republicans are Mean spirited and evil. What do they want Permanent unemployment for life? They would want that so they will vote Democrat—and screw the country for power. I am almost ready to have a military government close all Leftist Newspapers and Media. They have ruined the news with their political agenda.

For us conservatives, this is a day for prayers, consideration and thanks for our military people and their families.
RIP.
