I remember like it was yesterday, because, it was… President Trump told the crowd in Lima, Ohio on Wednesday night that, “the Caliphate is gone, as of tonight. Pretty good. That's pretty good, right?”

“Pretty good. That’s pretty good, right?” the president said, and– apparently, it is.

Now – I’m old enough to know that, with terrorism, nothing is really ever over.

Al Qaeda attacked us. We destroyed them.

Those were bad, bad times.

They’ve stopped, partly because an orange billionaire tried to fulfill a promise.

Yeah, he says mean things at the wrong time. But if stopping terror means putting a guy in charge who doesn’t care who he offends – sign me up.

I've said it before: Trump is a two-hour drive for one hour at the beach.

You get to the beach and it's great, but you gotta put up with the drive.

This news on ISIS, is the day at the beach -- that made the drive worthwhile.
