Senatorial Heroes
It’s time for me to express a rather unusual sentiment in this day and age but, nonetheless, credit should be given to the Republican Senators for standing up to tyranny and the base of the constitution.
Jeff Flake, a guy who I don’t much like, voted YES to confirm Kavanaugh. He did not have to do that; he’s not running for an office next election.
Yes, I know he’ll probably craft out a new career as a political pundit, much like Jason Chafitz. As such, Flake could not very well have been the bad guy.
Susan Collins, goodness this is a Republican who I often want to punch in the face. But she did a great summation of the Republican account of Brett Kavanaugh. Sure, she’s a heroine for a day but let’s give her kudos.
Mitch McConnell was on several Sunday political talk shows yesterday and he didn’t take any flack from anybody. He stated, just like the Senate Majority Leader, that the no president has ever appointed a supreme court judge in an election year since the mid-80’s.
They just make stuff up.
Yes indeed, Kudos to the senators who, for once, refused to ride on the privileges of the elite and took a damn stand.
20 people killed in an auto accident.
Turns out the owner of that limousine was an FBI informant named, get this, Hussain.
The FBI….best federal police force in the planet.
Heh.
It’s called “An evening with President @billclinton and former secretary of state @hillary clinton is coming to a city near you!
Seriously, from Fall 2018 to Spring 2019.
Be interesting to see who pays to attend this hot mess.

So Nikki Haley resigns. Just odd. First, she had many issues with Trump during his campaign. For a while she presented as a “Never Trumper” of sorts. Then she got appointed Ambassador to the UN and Trump and Haley were in love.
Now she ups and quits, says that old rubric about needing more time with her family.
I like Haley and, for the most part, she was a good Conservative representative.
I think her leaving now, suddenly, is odd.
Maybe it’s because nobody leaked it and we public don’t know how to deal with it.
Those liberals, always so fine and fair.
Yes she got fired. She should be put in damn jail.
Yes I believe she too got fired. But not to worry, now we have Hillary, sweet, sweet Hillary, out and about and declaring there should be no civility with the Republicans because, well mostly because the liberals don’t know how to act, threatening to kill people and being joyous at bringing gloom.
I’m trying to wrap my head around that concept.

So Florida’s been wrestling with Hurricane Michael and in due course it is going to brush the Delaware coast.
It’s been a tough year for Hurricanes.
Must be that global warming.
But good sweet Hillary goes on TV with Christine Amanpour and declares that until the Democrats win an election they are NOT going to be civil.
The country of America has come to this; that if they don’t win the election they will become a mob that won’t allow others to have a peaceful life.
So the Saudis killed the Journalist who was exposing them?
So Taylor Swift tells me how to vote?
Taylor Swift, one can see the genius in this female.
Oh, and Kanye West? He has my admiration although the whole thing is a bit odd.
I call them squirrel-rodents.
For no mind their furry tails or cute behavior, squirrel-rodents make a mess out of a bird feeder.
Also, when you have dogs they tend to want to meet squirrel-rodents up front and personal.
But the lady yesterday decided to take a squirrel-rodent with her as a “comfort animal” on the airplane.
Aw, come on. How ridiculous are we going to get with this comfort animal issue?
Seeing eye dogs, seizure-detecting canines…..some animals are needed to avoid health issues.
But a squirrel-rodent?
The airline did not allow the squirrel-rodent to remain on the plane.
Just some miscellaney, might be political, might be cultural might be personal.
It will cost you $745 for an evening with Bill and Hillary.
I’m thinking the Democrat party came down on these two. The demands include Hillary taking a stand such as banning civility until the Democrats win another election.
I suppose Bill and Hillary also were told to start raising money.
The tour of an evening with a former president and former secretary of state begins soon.
Reserve your tickets now. Four or five of them have already been purchased.
For sure it’s a great series for younger children and adolescents.
Hare Bear is a rabbit who has taken to life in my back yard. He is brown, hence the bear label.
Watch close at the beginning of the video as Hare Bear comes out to visit me and the dogs, ahem….go out and visit Hare Bear.
It’s such a great video it should be on America’s Greatest Videos.

Morning all,
Just Larry Ludlow today...all others there to convince us all is lost, even the stock market...I read into the guest list PDJT knows this is well in hand...no need to put anyone out there.
Anyone see all the cash Soros and Steyer have given their loser candidates? Cash is nice...in this case it is not king, nor can it manufacture one.
It will be a red wave in both houses.
The media is hurting the Dems...yes, hurting. They jump a new shark almost daily and only the angry Prius and Fit owners watch these. They lose Dems in blue collar union areas daily to PDJT. Blacks have a favorability rating of PDJT like 30+. Each race Larry (LS) posts news about has Republicans about +7-10 pts.
The cash may be used to generate votes, like interring grave sites, busing in illegals, or reprogramming Soros-paid Diebold machines, but we have better oversight and exposure of the Left’s lawlessness now.
One anecdotal evidence play is “apathy”...our side is fired up. E.g., I drive all around for my business in Greater Cincinnati. Wwwaaayyy more Republican signs in yards now...during 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014, many Dem signs, nearly equal. In urban areas, signs are scant in Cincinnati proper in general...yes, Dem signs mostly, but way down in number of signs in yards or vacant lots...that is apathy or lack of “election vigor”...Even on my street, not even a single sign. I live in the city, too. In these previous elections, every neighbor had their democrat sign up. My street is mostly black residents...so let that sink in...hmmm...could the 4.0 or so black unemployment keep blacks home on voting day or even have way more than usual vote for Republicans based on PDJT’s favorability ratings??? I think most probably. It’s crazy, but if black unemployment were back to Obama’s 10-12%, blacks would be fired up to vote for Dems.
Even before Kavanaugh, *we conservatives* were fired up.
GenX, baby boomers will still vote on left...millennials, not so much. Turnout will be down on the Left.
Red wave is coming, Mark my words. And, just to piss off the Left, I’ll call it a Red Tide. Since Proctor and Gamble is headquartered in Cincinnati, I’ll even call it a Red Dawn.
And could the fact that he's doing it at all mean his internals are not as healthy as he would like? He's made it this far by being relatively absent in this campaign. Why is he changing this close to the election?
Larry Kudlow is good as usual...
Josh Hawley (MO) gets some air time on MTP.
Hopefully McCaskill is history.
What a bunch of Bull, Karl...
ISIS now in trinidad and tobago coming up on full measure:
Trinidad and Tobago sending more ISIS fighters to Syria than anywhere else.Both are located just off the coast of Venezuela which may explain what is going on here.
http://fullmeasure.news/live.
135 from Trinidad making their way to the middle east lot for a small country like Trinidad.
US embassy spokesmen saying gangs in Trinidad are looking more like terror units that gangs.
US may help out Trinidad with the threat of terrorism.
Trinidad has oil but 5% are muslims already! We all know what that means.
Good Morning, Amazing how they have shifted gears.
Kavanaugh can go out for breakfast today with out being noticed.
They seem a bit discombobulated this AM
It’s refreshing to know that the conservatives in America will be represented by 2 stout republican Senators on the talk shows today; Ben Sasse and Jeff Flake.
The MSM should be jailed IMO. lol
I’d watch Fox News Sunday if they’d get rid of Chris Wallace.
