Morning AB, all...

Singing this morning, have granddaughter, taping everything.

Thank you AB for doing this thread....post your Sunday talk show info that I may read when I come home.

Then I shall tell the story of Finance council and Ash Wednesday.

See ya later.

[shalom aleichem]

Thanks for thread A.B. Switch the clocks. Still on Obama Projection of USA weakness and decline in the world time.

[AU72]

A McCain-Graham free zone this morning.

The must have forgotten to change their clocks.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

I’ve read through the Guest Lists three or four times, and still can’t get a clue about What’s The Game Plan for any of ‘em.

Charley Crist?????

Sheesh, are they having a casting call for a Gong Show revival?

[MarineMom613]

At this point, What difference does it make!??? LOL /s

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, Crist is on CNN; hardly anyone watches THAT.

In any case, I am seeing a pattern of covering foreign affairs here to day, as I see a lot of former cold warriors. And it’s good to have Paul and Cruz on. Maybe little Georgie will get a “Cruz” missile up his fat behind!

[Diogenesis]

The "difference" it makes determines the survival of the United States of America.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

Good morning, blessed Sunday, AB and everyone.

I'm still so happy and thrilled with Sarah Palin and her wonderful closing talk at CPAC yesterday! If anyone missed it LIVE, here it is!



Sarah Palin • CPAC • 2014 •

Democrats are all on vacation this week, except for Joaquin Castro, who apparently loves the cameras and studios.

Blinken is stand-in for the Regime.

[rodguy911]

Thanks for the thread AB much appreciated.
As far as I am concerned the highlight of the week at the annual C-Pac convention was Sarah Palin’s speech last night.
We had a live thread that followed the speech and there was not a dry eye to be found among the participants. I will be reviewing it over and over. Sarah was sheer dynamite and showed what true patriotism is all about. Wonderful speech.
The speech can be found here here among other locations on FR.

Also Ben Carson was in the top five of C-pac voters for potus.
What a dream team a Palin/Carson team would be.

[rodguy911]

For many of us we saw much of Ronald Reagan last night in Palin’s speech. It was marvelous.

[TomGuy]

Looks like the morning newsies may be trying the ole 'head 'em off at the pass' move by getting some 'gotcha' moments this morning.

Rand and Cruz got rousing approval at CPAC.

[Palin's rendition of Eggs and Spam will make more news on the Internet than in the Media.]

[rodguy911]

Thanks for all your great posts last night onyx. Sarah was terrific last night and that speech will not be forgotten.

[onyx]

Sarah Palin rocked the CPAC house and I’m sure millions of viewers at home. Her rendition of Green Ham & Eggs is already being played on Fox ‘n Friends, with those stupid weekend fill-in’s sort of smiling in a snarky manner. I wanted to smack that Daily Caller nitwit, what’s-hisname?

[RayChuang88]

Palin's very line--"Who could have seen this coming?" in reference to her 2008 warning about Russia possibly taking military action against the Ukraine--made me do a standing ovation in front of my computer.

[TomGuy]

TW is updating news regarding the Malaysian plane.

Apparently, not much new information has come over night.

2 [possibly 4, per other threads] boarded via stolen passports.

Weather was not an issue. Thus, the consensus seems to be catastrophic mechanical failure or terrorism [explosion or possible suicide-by-pilot-or-someone-in-cockpit].

Still no debris pattern, although Vietnam military/air force reported a lengthy oil slick.

==

Someone posted in one of the related threads that this kind of plane does an automatic ping to towers. That ping and all contact apparently stopped about 50 minutes into the flight. There are indications that the plane continued flying for another hour. A pilot in a different plane said he had momentary contact with the co-pilot at about the 2-hours-in-flight mark.

Soon after the plane disappeared, someone Tweeted that it landed in southern Vietnam. That apparently turned out to be false.
