In The New York Times? REALLY? Today?
Our thanks to Jeremy W. Peters for quoting us quite correctly today in the New York Times as we were interviewed at CPAC:
Here's the excerpt from the story "Stephen Bannon Reassures Conservatives Uneasy About Trump":

Here's the excerpt from the story "Stephen Bannon Reassures Conservatives Uneasy About Trump":
It was not as if the support for Mr. Trump, who will speak to the conference Friday morning, is not enthusiastic.We complimented Mr. Peters when he interviewed us in a packed hallway (Carole Cirucci was interviewed as well) and told him that we appreciated the care that he took with the interview. He was very courteous and attentive.
These should be good times for conservatives — and much of the time they are. They control not just the White House but both houses of Congress and appear on the verge of regaining a majority on the Supreme Court. They have not dominated so many state governments in close to a century.“I always said he’s not a stupid man. And if he has the right people around him he’s going to do the right thing,” said Daniel Cirucci of Cherry Hill, N.J., who was standing in line on Thursday evening to listen to Vice President Mike Pence, a conservative he said he deeply admired. “I think he realizes the enormity of the job,” Mr. Cirucci added. “Now does that mean Trump is going to stop being Trump? No.”

First Look: Scenes From CPAC, 2017
We had a wonderful time at CPAC: The Conservative Political Action Conference at National Harbor near our nations capital.
These photos give you some idea of the crowds, the big names and the excitement of this year's event as we heard from President Trump and Vice President Pence.
Truly, an astonishing three days!

A Defining Event, A Touchstone, A Thrill!
Sheriff David Clarke. Actor Robert Davi. Judge Jeanine Pirro. And the Vice President of the United States.
These are just a few of the speakers that we enjoyed here today at National Harbor (on the Potomac) as part of CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. And we met new friends from South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin and New York.
CPAC is always invigorating.
It reminds us of the values we share, the rightness of our cause and the stake that we all have in our nation and its proud legacy. It brings us together to remind us that we are, indeed all in this together.
This is an unprecedented year for the conservative movement -- truly a watershed year and the most important year in the history of modern conservatism. It also marks the first time since 1981 that a Republican president will be part of CPAC during his first year in office. That will come tomorrow.
But when Vice President Pence told us tonight: "This is our time!" you could really feel the thrill of this grand moment. The opportunity that awaits us is something that we've been hoping for and working for and praying for -- for a long, long time. This is America's first truly conservative administration in nearly 40 years.
To be sure, CPAC is not for those who lack stamina.
We always say this will be our last year at CPAC. The venue is cavernous. The crowds can be crushing. The lines and the waiting for program events and speakers can be tedious, to say the least. But more often than not, it's worth it.
For American conservatism, this is the year's defining event -- the touchstone.
It's where it all comes together.
And tomorrow's lineup is really spectacular.
Stay tuned!

Oh, My! A Treat Unlike Any Other!

For a long, long time we've been searching for the perfect crab cake.
We've enjoyed crab cakes all over the country. And we've found many tasty ones.
But last week, while attending a conference at National Harbor near Washington (actually in Oxen Hill, Maryland) we finally found the perfect crab cake.
It's at the Crab Cake Cafe on Riva Road in the National Harbor complex overlooking the Potomac. Journeying from Philadelphia, it's actually just off I-95 before you come to the Walt Whitman Bridge. Journeying from the other direction, you'll find National Harbor as soon as you cross the bridge.

Crab Cake Cafe is new, modern, well-lit and immaculate. It really quite spiffy.
But, most of all the crab cakes are all fresh, succulent lump crab meat -- no fillers, ever! And there are several types and combinations of sandwiches, platters, salads and soups available on the menu. We recommend the traditional Maryland crab cake.
The plentiful hand-cut fries are fragrant and delicious, too. The Old Bay cheddar corn muffin is sheer perfection. Everything about this place is just unbelievably good.
Hurry on down! You won't be disappointed.
