ACOSTA’S TAKE: “O.M.G. Trump signed hats!” — The reality: Troops cheered Trump. Wildly. And the hats? They belonged to the soldiers who ASKED him to sign.

“The No. 1 issue facing all Americans, I don’t care who you ask, is the heroin epidemic that affects us all. And the Mexican drug-trafficking cartels dominate that industry and they’re controlling it coming into and throughout the United States. … I’m tired of dealing with overdoses.

VIDEO: Language warning! — It seems like this stuff keeps happening, yet I cannot remember even a single instance of a right-winger insulting, refusing service, or oughtright assaulting ANYone who was wearing an Obama t-shirt or hat. Can any of you? Yet WE’RE THE HATERS?! I. Don’t. Think. So.

PROGRESSIVE ECONOMICS: New York’s Mayor Bill De Blasio urged New Yorkers not to patronize a Chick-fil-A that opened up in the city, but he’s going to hire people to pick up dirty needles that junkies leave lying around. Cuz golly gee whiz, those people who have just shot themselves full of whatever crap they use to avoid living in the real world rudely leave their used equipment on the ground rather than carrying it to the handy needle disposal bins the city’s tax payers provided for them. Who woulda thunk?
PROGRESSIVE EATING: How do you know someone’s a vegan? — Just wait two minutes and they’ll tell you.

I’M NOT THE WORST MOTHER IN THE WORLD AFTER ALL: I used to tell my kids I was whenever they complained about my rules — Alissa Evans, 9, had complained that her advent calendar chocolates tasted funny but her mother, Jess Evans, assumed she was just being picky so Alissa ate the candy each day … for ELEVEN days.
