The democratic controlled House passed legislation to end the government shut down and executed their responsibility as legislators. The republican controlled U.S. Senate refused to take up the measure because Trump opposed. Republican senator Mitch McConnell betrayed the U.S. Senate and the American people by allowing Trump to intimidate him and in doing so was a cowardly act and traitorous. McConnell is a well known obstructionist and legislative coward that has failed his responsibility to lead.
So the shut down continues over Trump's wall and McConnell's failure to say enough is enough Mr. President, the Senate will hold a vote and do what is best for the country and to open the government back up and running. Time for the GOP foolishness is over and the Wall is a separate issue to be taken up in future legislation that includes immigration reform.
There is no national security threat or crisis at the border except Trump's rhetoric and the GOP's failure to introduce immigration reform legislation. Adequate border security can be addressed without building a wall that sends the wrong message about America's values and ideals. Trump's wall rhetoric is another tactic to divert attention away from the Mueller investigation that is coming to an end and will likely implicate the President.
In the mean time, Trump and the GOP will continue their unAmerican shut down of the U.S. Government, and the Senate and Mitch McConnell will continue to be cowards and ditto heads for President Trump.

Did The LSU Coaching Staff Learn Anything From Clemson's Big Win Over Alabama?
If not, shame on them. We know the present staff has learned nothing for the past three years they have played Alabama and this past season Alabama shut them out with a big zero. Last season LSU and Alabama both played Ole Miss, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi State and Texas A&M. Alabama did not shut out any of those teams and those team's offense was not any better than LSU's offense.
LSU's problem with Alabama is their failure to challenge and attack Alabama's defense. Their game plans are timid and conservative because they are afraid to make a mistake. The same took place under former coach Les Miles. Clemson's coach said their plan was to attack Alabama's defense and they did it with a true freshman quarterback who passed the ball when his team had third and long even though they were backed up inside their own 20 yard line. LSU would never do that. They would run left or right and get stuffed.
Clemson's coach knew if he played conservative they would have to turn the ball over to Alabama in good field position. That was not a good option so he choose to attack Alabama with a freshman quarterback and it paid off. Can any LSU fan ever remember a time when LSU's coaching staff gave a true freshman quarterback such an opportunity? LSU's future will change against Alabama only when the coaches change their offense strategy.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Clemson has beaten Alabama two out of the last three national championship games and are now the nations number one team. Alabama's defeat may be the turning point to their past domination of college football.
