CNN) Three children were beaten, forced to eat dog feces and locked in the closets of a Maryland home for months, Maryland State Police said.

The children, ages 8, 9 and 10, were assaulted with "an electronic control device" and beaten by two women using belts and extension cords police said.

Amanda R. Wright, 29, and her girlfriend, Besline Joseph, 25 were arrested Wednesday at their home in Mardela Springs, Maryland, and charged with multiple counts of child abuse.

278 Days till November 6, 2018..Just to let you know. and two more items.

That number will go down very quickly. We must do as much as we can to make that a day when this political atmosphere changes dramatically. Regain control of the Senate and House of Representatives.
And.. I will update this number from time to time.

Trump not only is a liar, but he is a stupid liar.

He claimed that his state of the union address was the most watched: .

He tweeted this this morning:
"Thank you for all of the nice compliments and reviews on the State of the Union speech. 45.6 million people watched, the highest number in history. @FoxNews beat every other Network, for the first time ever, with 11.7 million people tuning in. Delivered from the heart!"

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
