The President Addresses the Nation

GELFAND’S WORLD - The United States carried out an attack on Iran over the weekend. President Trump addressed the nation to announce the attack and explain its success. He may even be telling the truth. But who would know? 

Addendum: This is borrowed from a longtime colleague: 

Kristi Noem rushed to the hospital 
after suffering from 'allergic reaction'
(she accidentally touched a copy of The Constitution) 

Addendum II: 

That same president who is explaining the success of the Iranian attack has also explained that were it not for his timely intervention, the City of Los Angeles would have burned to the ground. I've been downtown three times over the past week. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, although I did notice one building with some spray-painted graffiti on it. Of the 400 or so square miles that make up the City of Los Angeles, there is approximately 99.25% that was untouched and unaffected by the demonstrations around the federal detention center. It is obvious to L.A. residents that if there had been no ICE raids, there would have been no anti-ICE demonstrations and no burning cars for network television to show. The weekend's events were roughly on a par with a Laker championship celebration.
