When three Americans newly freed from detention in North Korea arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland early Thursday, President Donald Trump was there to greet them.

The president was joined by first lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

A motorcade was waiting to take the three Korean-American detainees -- Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim -- to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for physical examinations.

The White House said earlier they would be evaluated and receive medical treatment at the Washington-area facility. Their families were not on hand for the ceremony.

I love Pompeo’s tweet that no pallets of cash were on the flight to North Korea.

Not so fast. I’ve heard they have arguments. Imagine that. A married couple having arguments. And he’s our president!

I hope their parents are more thankful than a certain attention craving ingrate from last year.

It really wasn’t Pompeo who sent that tweet, but funny nonetheless.

We don’t know yet what all the actual costs are or have been to get the hostages released. I doubt seriously that Kim did not already get or was promised to get something for it. I expect we could know as soon as the summit meeting is over and what concessions we are willing to make are revealed.

I wonder if this will have an effect on the 70% of Asians who voted for OBAMA, twice?

President Trump shows class and style in honoring the return of 3 Americans. Kind of like when Obama and Clinton welcomed home the survivors of Bengazi... oh wait, that didn't happen.
