They say few trains made money on their dining cars in the old days. You think that maybe it was due to the choice of food they served? Look at our breakfast menu?
Calf liver saute with a rasher of bacon?

Trump comes to Fredericksburg.
There is an awesome national park and cemetery there—the site of two Civil War battles.
The South held the high ground and the Union forces had to come through the town from the crossing the river and ascend a sloping hill. In December, 1862, this slope was a killing field for the Union.
My former pastor’s great-great grandfather was a Union soldier who fought there. He wrote a book about his four years as a Union soldier, in 1906. All his buddies perished around him. He was stranded half way up the hill. He survived by stacking their bodies around him. He said the sound of the bullets hitting their bodies was sickening. He was not rescued until nightfall, when he was able to scamper down the hill to the Union lines. The following year, he was captured on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg in July, and witnessed Pickett’s charge the following day from the Confederate side. Amazing life.
Fredericksburg is a beautiful town, right on the Rappahannock River. Lots of shops and antique stores. A real treasure of a place.
The Civil War site is right on the edge of town and is well preserved. Very easy to imagine the battle for Civil War buffs.
Nice view from the top of the hill as well.
Trump was awesome yesterday in Louisiana and Michigan.
A true leader.
Obama, with his faux rolled up shirtsleeves on Tuesday, will look weak in comparison. Hillary phoned it in.
I would like the media to ask Hillary what the Clinton Foundation has donated to the folks in Louisiana.
And then watch her have a petit mal.
CNN filmed a tractor trailer being unloaded yesterday, and the guy being interviewed said—this trailer’s contents were donated by Trump.
LOL!
