I can't remember the first time I met Charlie Herbster. His ranches are in the next state west of Iowa, Nebraska. He is here often. Cattle farmers in Iowa use artificial insemination. They buy his bull semen to breed their Angus cattle. This has made Charlie super rich and he used some of his millions to elect Donald Trump.

I was pleased when Charlie announced he is running for Governor in Nebraska. The Capitol, Lincoln, is right next to Iowa.

It was exciting last week to have President Trump fly from Florida to a Charlie Herbster rally. The President gave his usual two-hour speech that fired up the crowd.

The President took several minutes of his speech to end rumors about Charlie that have been all over the news. Trump was emphatic the claims of eight women that Charlie groped them are untrue.

The news media can now stop doing interviews and stories about this nothing issue. What has happened to this country's sense of humor? Men can make friendly gestures that are misinterpreted. Charlie is a handsome man and maybe women gave him friendly looks. Let's move on.
