I receive a daily email about historical tidbits, and today's concerned the Roman Emperor Nero. In the year 67 CE, Nero participated in the Olympic Games, and was declared the winner of every event he entered, both athletic and artistic.
On this Presidents Day, does he remind you of anyone?

Donald Trump spent last week seizing yet more control over the federal government.
A man fond of grabbing women by the pussy now grabs the government in similar fashion.
Trump was busy purging dissent at the CDC and FEMA; firing a member of the Federal Reserve Board; threatening to send troops to Chicago; and generally behaving as though the government is his Tinkertoy set.
In a three-hour televised Cabinet meeting, Trump claimed more victories than Bear Bryant, while his subordinates' praise of him was so over the top the gathering could've been in Moscow or Pyongyang.
If this power grab is allowed to continue, our three branches of government will be the executive, the anemic, and the pathetic.

Against the backdrop of recently taking control of the Washington, D.C., police department and deploying the National Guard to our nation's capital, Donald Trump yesterday announced his choices for Kennedy Center honorees, and added that he'll be hosting the broadcast. The day before, the White House ordered a review of the Smithsonian Institution to make sure what it exhibits is in accord with Trump's wishes.
It's been a long time since an enemy of America overran Washington, D.C. Where's Dolley Madison when you need her?
