Consider three of the biggest developments in our politics right now: We just learned that the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a capstone to a terrible year in terms of job creation. President Trump has fired widely despised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a key architect of his mass deportations. And reports are indicating that the killing of scores of Iranian schoolchildren might have been the handiwork of the United States.

What links all these things? In addition to the massive human toll they’re inflicting, they suggest that Trump is about to pull off a unique trifecta. He is squandering the advantage he and Republicans have enjoyed in recent years on three major GOP-friendly issues: The economy, immigration, and national security.

    Remember, the e on the end sounds like eeeeee. Without it, it ends in h and sounds like ehhhhh

    UNFORTUNATELY, you don’t spell breathing breatheing, because you get rid of the e on the end when adding ing. English is certainly a language.

      I once thought people who corrected spelling without being asked were just pompous twits. Then I read a paper that explained how people with low reading comprehension have trouble parsing sentences with spelling errors, so now I feel sorry for them.
