What, one may ask, is a blatherskite?
And why should we care if we have it right?
Mayhap we are late
The word to update.
Perhaps we should make it DanRatherSkite.

Blast and damn it, somebody beat me to the Dan Rather reference.

I demand that their post be removed so that I will look better.

I hope you are recovering comfortably. With the prescription drug hysteria that is sweeping the nation, it can be difficult to receive appropriate palliative care.

The Blatherskite of the deep state are desperately clinging to their Russia meme like spiders in a Web of there own making, they wait on the object of there desire to be entangled, forgetting to beware the twittering noise swooping in for the kill.

My heavens! That's almost poetry, Louis!

Meet @realDonaldTrump’s #KremLINKlan:

I don’t know if that makes a link but it’s to Maxine Waters’ twitter page which links Trump with the Kremlin and the KKK. Head exploding about now.

The ancient Israelites had enough to contend with, The Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.

Modern day Israel has to deal with the Blatherskites, who are infinitely more difficult to conquer in some ways.

During Great Lent, Orthodox Christians are counseled (among other things) not to be blatherskites:

Lenten Prayer of St. Ephrem

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.

But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou, unto ages of ages. Amen.

When you put together Wolf Blitzer, Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite, you get a Blatherskite…

Each driveby media blatherskite
Waits for something hot to report
While pres Trump is strategizing-
And so soon we shall have sport

Ms Merkel is here-oh my, oh dear
Will she and pres see eye to eye?
Certainly not on muslim terrorists
And Merkel won’t dare ask why

Maybe she will just be truculent
Having nothing of worth to say-
Having no class, show her ass
Attend a meeting then go away...

I’m annoyed with a customer-and a couple of other people-so I’m loaded for bear-the person who pisses me off will wish they had not...
