Only the 28 gunfire deaths and the 9 vehicular assault deaths are the result of criminal action with the intent to harm the officer—so an average of one every five days. The Dallas incident and the Michigan dustup yesterday are two of only four incidents involving multiple deaths, with Dallas being the only one resulting in more than two deaths.

See, there was this thing called the "Cuban Missile Crisis". And for a while, Great Britain, kept on course by Winston Churchill, stood alone against Hitler's Germany. So, don't drink all the Kool-Aid just yet.

Stood alone? Where were they when Hitler took Austria? Poland? That Little brave country to their north?

To compare Churchill and England to Mr. Trump and the USA, is not only foolish it is truly asinine.

So, got nothing on the Cuban Missile Crisis?

I’ll let others judge the merits of our Churchill/Trump comparison.
