Thanks for thread A.B. I saw elsewhere Jim said we are under DOS/hack attack. The Turtle must get Wray confirmed so the FBI can help us out. Also, let’s get to the bottom of Sarah Carter of Circa news. Seems like she has dangled some juicy “stories” out there but she may be a Deep State concoction?

Looks like a boring weekend rehash. Health care collapse and visions of palace intrigue. Nothing substantive being advanced.

There are 4 investigative reporters/journalists I pay attention to: Sharyl Attkisson, Catherine Herridge, Sarah Carter (Circa) & John Soloman (Circa).

Sarah & John have been regulars on Hannity for months now. They appear to have some very, very good sources and use multiple sources for confirmation, appear to be careful with what they report, and so far, they’ve been ‘spot on’ with their stories. I think they’re the ‘real deal’ (not Deep State), but YMMV.

Right on the money Bray. Listen to John Boy laud the humane treatment by his captors and how evil his band of aviators were to the peace loving country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO0mHEJyC3Y

Tried to post this as "News," FR says it belongs in Bloggers, I'm not going to re-enter all the stuff to make a post. An interesting DEM attack vector, get three GOP defectors ala Jumpin' Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter, and the landscape really changes.

McCain Once Almost Left the GOP. What About Now? - Politico Magazine

In the long, tumultuous political career of Senator John McCain, it would have been remembered as a turning point. It was only rumored at the time. But the Arizona senator nearly bolted from the Republican Party in 2001. ...

... Daschle and other Democratic strategists and lawmakers are questioning whether the party should mount a new campaign to lure McCain and other wavering Republican senators away from the GOP.

Other obvious targets for the campaign, they said, would be the two women Republican senators who stymied the GOPaEUR(TM)s repeal efforts last week: Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. ...

Two or three defections would swing the balance of power in the Senate to the DemocratsaEUR"a political earthquake that would give Democrats control of the Senate confirmation process for Executive Branch and Supreme Court nominees, as well as the ability to launch more aggressive investigations of President Trump and his administration, including of possible collusion between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign. It would also make Republican priorities from Obamacare repeal to tax reform even less likely.

Yeah chances are it will be an unknown or a Kammillllluuuhhh Harris who has race card/I’m a female— ability as well....
A Black, female, commie could be formidable competition in todays screwed up world.
In Harris’ situation that could be a bit controversial as well. Is she a muzzie or simply black power advocate?

https://www.poynter.org/2004/if-the-d-a-is-of-half-asian-descent-why-does-the-press-label-her-black/20954/

But how accurate and how relevant are such ethnic and gender labels? In Harris’ case, not totally accurate and somewhat relevant.

A minority of the stories I read about Harris leading up to her election provided information about her mixed ethnic background. Her father is black; her mother is of South Asian descent. I even recall reading that Harris is proud of her partial Asian heritage.

But most stories, when they used an ethnic label, limited her to being a “black woman.” Why was that? Doesn’t that simplistic — and misleading — label deny part of who she is? And why is any kind of ethnic labeling needed, in the first place?

Democrats change their tune

The Sessions confusion

---------------------------

Senator Chuck Schumer was on a Sunday political talk show this week ABC's "This Week") when he announced that the Democrats would be moving away from the Russia narrative.

Heh.

Now they have Mueller all investigating everbody's underwear and their childhoods.

So one assumes the actual politicians all busy bowing to Hillary's command will now be able to start doing what politicos do….lying and deceiving.

-----------------

I just don't get this matter with Jeff Sessions.

President Trump has released three kind of nasty tweets about the guy. While the first one could be construed as a mistake, and/or misunderstood, it ain't rocket science that when Trump referred to Sessions as "beleaguered" you knew this was no joke.

By me Sessions is one of the sweetest, most soft-spoken Senator up there-which was probably the problem-but the nastiest of thoughts permeate my head.

Rush Limbaugh was talking about this today and his explanation was that Sessions was his loyal ally throughout the presidential campaign, even when other Republicans were attacking him.

Rush says that Trump is one who re-pays loyalty and so Sessions got appointed AG.

Only Sessions went and recused himself from the Russians investigation and this evidently infuriated Trump.

And even with two rather mean public insults, Sessions still refuses to resign.

I am beginning to wonder if perhaps Sessions is part of the GOPe, one who intentionally insinuated himself by candidate Trump's side so he would get to be AG, appointed by the loyalty-loving Trump.

I am quite sure Trump was told that James Comey was a wonderful guy, grab him up.

Trump was likely told that Spicer was a great guy but that didn't work out.

I think a bunch of GOPe types, via Reince Priebus, huddled deep into the night and came up with a few guys that would do their bidding.

I fear Jeff Sessions was one of the GOPe.

Hard to believe. He is such a southern gentleman.

But Trump is running into serious opposition and he's not only fighting the Democrats, he's fighting traitors in his own political party.

I hope I am wrong.

Kushner testifies both houses

Trey Gowdy interview re sessions

McCain shows up at senate.

---------------------

So Jared Kushner testified yesterday before the House and the day before in the Senate.

Hillary is scheduled for testimony about the uranium issue….NO WAIT!

Kushner did a wonderful job with his firm assertion at a brief interview that he had nothing to do with colluding with Russians nor did anyone else in the Trump campaign that he knew of.

Kushner's big smile is that he had an email he sent to someone to please get him out of this awful meeting.

And yet we're spending millions to learn nothing.

Saw Trey Gowdy interviewed yesterday about the Jeff Sessions matter and first, Trey Gowdy is the SECOND MOST HANDSOME CONGRESS CRITTER TODAY. First, of course, is Anthony Scaramucci….the "mouch".

Trey was all over the place about Sessions and I understand. I am too.

It looks more and more every day that Sessions might very well be part of the swamp up there in D.C. though he was beloved by Trump supporters initially.

This thing with him recusing himself from the Russian investigation is just not excusable. That is such a huge stand to take so why didn't Sessions, at the least, tell President Trump ahead of his recusal?

Then it's not like the Russian "investigation" slowed down, even if the Sessions' recusal was with hopes that once given their way, the Dems would let the story die. No.

The Russian investigation has gone on for seven months now with no proof of anything.

Jeff Sessions made a bad decision on this one, whatever his reason.

Senator John McCain spoke before the senate yesterday and no, I don't begrudge him that bit of glory. For the man has a brain tumor bound to kill him soon. Best he says what has to be said before the tumor destroys rational thought.

Susan Collins open mike, Wasserman Schulz and the mystery of the Pakistani IT guy.

-----------

Let us begin with the alleged open mike as sweet talking, lovely-voiced Senator Susan Collins was caught critizing some guy name Farenthold, quote below:

<<<<

She and Mr. Reed also discussed President Trump’s apparent failure to grasp the finer points of the budget-making process and address the debt ceiling.

At one point, Mr. Reed remarked, “I think he’s crazy.”

“I’m worried,” Ms. Collins replied.

The candid exchange gave the public a stark glimpse into how two elected officials talk privately. Ms. Collins also said she was taken aback when she realized Mr. Farenthold was referring to a duel in which Burr, then vice president, killed Alexander Hamilton

in 1804.

“I shouldn’t have taken the bait,” Ms. Collins said, before quickly adding, “I didn’t, publicly.”

In a matter of hours, the focus had moved to health care. Plans to repeal it were moving forward, no firearms necessary. Ms. Collins said that words of apology had been exchanged with Mr. Farenthold.>>>

I don't know who this Farenthold guy and don't feel like looking it up. I just think the story is funny, a story about the least classiest person in the US Senate.

------

Wasserman finally fires IT guy.

THIS IS THE STORY FOLKS!

-------------------------------

This is the story about Sessions, Leaker Reince Priebus and the whole controversy over the silly Russian story.

Seems that almost 30 of the House Representatives have these three nothing-burgers from Pakistan running their IT systems, one just recently fired from a McDonalds.

And it turns out that the 30 congress critters these three jokers work for are ALL ON THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE OF SOME KIND!

And we shall find out, there is a direct line to our American intelligence agencies directly to the Pakistan government.

The IT guy servicing Wasserman-Schulz was arrested at the airport where he was trying to escape.

And money! They've been sending tons of money to Pakistan.

Not sure how but I think the Trump administration is on to some big deep state treason situation and yeah, I think President Obama's in it up to his big ears.

Lots of money, the hell with America.

They needed Hillary to get elected to further hide their treason and when she wasn't the Russian meme was created to distract from their very profitable enterprise of allowing all our enemies access to our intelligence.

Pay attention. This is big news.

--------

Finally, Reince Priebus is the leaker! Well he's one of them.

A bunch of traitors up there in DC, all looking out for themselves.

It's a political junkee's dream.

For an American who loves her country, not so much.

Friday Date-7/27/17

No transgender in military, Hey, Kasich, what's going on in Ohio and the rides? Hillary writing new book.

---------------

So I don't like Ohio Governor John Kasich. He is the most egotistical, self-righteous punk in government. He thinks he's the greatest yet he's never won a Republican primary and as I am to understand, he's not all that well liked in Ohio.

Now the rides at the Ohio state fair are flying all over the place and the reason given is that so much poured down proceeding the fair that perhaps the inspections weren't not that thorough.

Say what?

As of this writing, one dead, one girl had her leg completely ripped off, 7 critical, lots of injuries.

But John Kasich, boy he'll bend your ear for an hour telling us how wonderful he is and what a great Governor he's been.

---------------

Most of America could care less about banning transgender soldiers from the military and why the hell should they?

A male soldier wearing high heels and short skirt brings no fear to the enemy and so why would we consider that a good thing?

Now they shall not be allowed to live a transgendered life although what they do in private is their business. But no big burly bewhiskered soldiers showering with the females cause he thinks he's a girl.

Not much boo-hooing over this recent President Trump action but there's Caitlyn Jenner, a loser of the highest order.

Boo freaking hoo.

------------------

So Hillary's writing a new book called, as I am to understand, "What Happened."

Heh.

What happened was Hillary lost because not enough people in states where there's not millions of fake voters voted for Hillary.

She'll tell us even more how it was the Russians.

Ho hum.

Saturday Date-7/29/17

New White House Chief of Staff announced;

No "skinny" repeal of Obamacare. Thank John McCain who will never pass up a chance to betray.

-------------

General John F. Kelly has been named as the new White House Chief of Staff. As announced by President Trump by a surprising tweet.

Because guess what? I DIDN'T HEAR OR READ A THING ABOUT THIS SO NOBODY LEAKED IT!!!!

Wow. I always thought Reince Priebus was a little too smooth.

For we must assume he's out even though his replacement was announced before his resignation.

Heh.

-------------------

I don't agree with Mark Levin about everything but he's got a mind on these establishment politicians, including the Republicans.

Levin asserts, rightfully I agree, that these politicos WANT a single payer health care….ie gubmint….and they're not going to back down.

Indeed. I think Mark's right. The politicos want single payer health care and we, the stupid people, should shut the hell up.

And John McCain, a coward from the day he was born, and a liar, now has great power since he's dying. He will do whatever they want, like he's been doing all along. But now there's no stopping him.

McCain, Murkowski and Collins all voted against repeal of Obamacare yesterday.

Why?

President Trump says he wants to let Obamacare implode.

I just don't know what that means. I thought it was imploding now.

However, I think Trump is right. He needs to keep pointing out that he did everything he could to throw out Obamacare but it did not work.

And we will see just how Americans receive this disaster.

-------------------------------

On a personal note, please don't forget we have kittens….FOR FREE! Be ready about September, as many as you want….FREE KITTENS.

Say a quick prayer for me please for I am going to be the hospital for one night.

Nothing serious, a stent in my legs which no longer get the amount of blood they need to function.

Next week I should be walking almost normal and happy about it.

I probably look at 40 but I always include Jason Goodman and George Webb both of Crowdsource.com.
Their videos are incomparable like this one from the “Brainy Blonde” who really is incredibly brainy.
It’s long, 25 minutes, but incredibly relevant and informative:

I read an interesting column on Ms Suzzy Collins and the predominantly left wing / moocher majority ( I know I am being redundant) of Maine residents.

The content of the article maintained that Ms. Suzzy is starting her run for Governor of Maine, that her chances are very good.

The other comments in this article were about the Current Governor and the reason he is Governor is because two left wing nut jobs split the left win nut job vote.

The problem I have with this second comment is the current Governor is currently serving a second term.

Any comments on who may run in the 2018 Senate and Governor races in Maine?

McCain and Schumer in collusion, watch the tapes of the Obamacare vote in progress....Schumer calling McCain, McCain and Schumer shake hands, McCain casts look of revenge against Trump to his Democrat buddies. The Democrats cheer wildly and applaud the McCain vote!!!

Conclusion & Bottom line: McCain is a traitor to the POTUS, The Republican Party, the American people and the nation itself.

Useless Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate Majority Leader, should immediately replace John McCain as the Chairman of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee and appoint someone else to assume that impop0rtant function....do it, McConnell you wimp, failure...right now!!!

LePage is being pushed to run for US senate. He and Collins may switch places. Good trade, in my book.

"Hope y’all can post well enough to keep the thread useful..."

Here's what I do to help. Some times while viewing the latest posts, the site will load completely, but often times less than that. Sometimes only two, or three threads will load. Limiting it to 20 threads doesn't work at all for me.

Instead, I click on the last thread that loads and note the thread number. I then paste this into the URL line (without the quotes), but replacing the number at the end with one less than the post number of the last page seen: "http://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index?more=3572802"

This then loads a new page with as many posts that will load, starting with the one below the last one seen.
