• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.
Meanwhile, please note that the New Year’s Freepathon is now upon. Time to throw in a few bucks, folks. We here on the Sunday political talk show thread use this forum as much as money, so throw in a $20 or more.
Well worth it not to have to deal with endless advertisement.
I did not do a daily column last week but I did pay close attention and have some remarks.
First, Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Steve Bannon, even Omarosa, all started with the Trump administration with great fanfare.
These people are all now enemies and even Rex Tillerson has been known to call the President a moron.
And as for Steve Bannon, well I admit I was fooled.
I thought Bannon was beloved in the Trump administration.
My resolution here is to believe nothing from within, without or all about from this Trump administration. Which is not to cast the nastiest of aspersion upon those folks. I still think Trump is doing a terrific job but I simply will allow the words about somebody being a wonderful person as often comes from Trump’s mouth as being a bit of hyperbole.
Also, copied by a thread right here on FreeRepublic, we have the top 20 liberals of 2018.
20-Kathy Griffin
19-the Pussy hat people
18-Chelsea Handler
17-Elizabeth Warren
16-Michael Moore
15-Shaun King
14-Zinnia Jones
13-Shiela Jackson Lee/Maxine Waters
12-Rosie O’Donnell
11-Bill Nye
10-Stephen Smith
9-John Conyers
8-Berkeley
7-Jennifer Rubin/Matthew Dowd
6-Sally Kohn
5-Jimmy Kimmel
4-Harvey Weinstein
3-Antifa
2-Hillary Clinton
1-The NFL
My two most despised liberals are Jimmy Kimmel and Matthew Dowd. Dowd is the brother of Maureen and his claim to fame was that HE was the Conservative while his sister was the liberal.
And Jimmy Kimmel should tell jokes late at night and stop pretending he’s anybody we should listen to.
On a personal note, we have awful, awful weather here in Delaware, receiving 2.5 feet of snow and struggle to just get around.
I do have a Jeep and yes, I used 4 wheel drive and it still slid all over the road and the tires are losing air. They always lose air in the frigid cold, why is that? One time the tire went completely flat.
I got a low tire pressure light on now but crossing fingers I can make it to the repair place because one by one I am stripping those tires (which I bought two years ago but they are all defective I suspect) one by one and buying new ones.
Finally, the dog fellows are not happy with the bitter cold snow. Blanca will eventually wade out in snow up to her head and poop. She pees on the deck.
Jackie, the black rescue dog and proof that I am not a racist, will venture through the snow. This morning I saw her crouched down on her front paws out in the mid of a pile of snow and wondered what the hell was she doing.
She was peeing poor thing. It was the only
way should keep her private parts out of the freezing snow.
Anyway, Rush Limbaugh finally came back and a warming trend comes next week so let us smile and continue on.
In this weather, it's very important to understand that four wheel drive only helps you accelerate faster on ice and snow. It does not help skidding or braking. In fact, it sometimes makes it worse. It gives you the false impression that there is more traction than there really is, and you tend to skid even more.
I'm sure your tire guy loves you!
Instead, just have him pop the beads and reseal them. Tires lose air in cold temps. Everything screws up when it's really cold.
It’s cold. You should check your tire pressure
Your tires aren't "losing" air, it's just contracting - here's the crux of the matter (from article):
Gas expands with heat and contracts with cold. So when winter arrives, it's best to check in on your tire pressure for safety.
Tire pressure drops by one to two pounds per square inch for every 10 degrees.
