imposing older man with a sweeping golden pompadour mane, heavy brow, small intense eyes, strong jowled jaw, long dark suit, very long red necktie flowing like a battle banner exits a podium as a hand seizes his arm, frozen mid-stride, faceless figures with camera lenses for faces, flash bursts
MARCH 29, 2016. THE VICTORY PRESS CONFERENCE ENDS. A HAND CLOSES ON HIS ARM — AND THE FRAME FREEZES.

“For the 1st time in American history, America’s 16,500 border patrol agents have issue a presidential primary endorsement—me! Thank you.”

This week in the saga

A week of strange skirmishes.

Behind it all, Wisconsin waits, unfriendly.
