    Hello Everybody,

    Happy Birthday, Melania!
    May all your wishes come true!
    Forever young at 47!

    Others are not so kind as I wishing Happy Birthday
    wishes for the first lady. Such as -

    "happy birthday to the green-card birther trophy wife
    who married our president for his money, recoils at his
    touch, never smiles in his presence, refuses to share his
    bed, and sits alone in her room, counting every passing
    second until she becomes a widow."

    What a horrible thing to write or tweet! Even if one
    does not agree with her husband's politics, that has
    nothing to do with her! She came to the USA, had a
    baby, became a naturalized US citizen, and sponsored
    her parents to do the same.

    Except for the having a baby part, Melania's parents
    have heeded all her advice. And even helped her bring
    up her kid as he is fast becoming a grown adult ...

    Happy Birthday, Melania. Any many more.

    Hello Everybody,

    Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
    59 years young!
    You *still* da one!

    Barack Hussein Obama.
    The president with a funny name.
    But no orange hair.
    Brought us all hope and change.
    Exactly what we asked for.
    Now it is up to us to do for
    those what he did for us.
    Can we do that?

    "Yes we can."

    Words well spoken, Mr. President.

    Hello Everyday,

    Happy Birthday, George Orwell!
    107 years old today!

    "It is a sign of the speed at which events are moving that Hurst and Blackett’s unexpurgated edition of Mein Kampf, published only a year
    ago, is edited from a pro-Hitler angle. The obvious intention of the translator’s preface and notes is to tone down the book’s ferocity
    and present Hitler in as kindly a light as possible. For at that
    date Hitler was still respectable. He had crushed the German labour
    movement, and for that the property-owning classes were willing to
    forgive him almost anything. Both Left and Right concurred in the
    very shallow notion that National Socialism was merely a version of Conservatism." ~George Orwell, review of Adolf Hitler's `Mein Kampf'

    If only Donald Trump, born 74 years ago on June 6, had written
    a tome like dear Adolf then I could have written my own review ...
