People who want to see how the good-guys perform under fire from the RATagandists.....especially when the RAT spokesmouths suffer an embarrassing beatdown, and some truth gushes out.
I don't think there's going to be enough from that.
You need 67 Senators to convict (2/3rds). The GOP has 53, dems 45 plus two "Independents".
So, assuming EVERY democrat votes for impeachment and what you counted: 47 + 3 = 50, how will Romney get 16/7 more?
Hi There!
So, I have taught my class in 4 places now:
Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Los Angeles. Next week in DC, and then in Jan, Trenton NJ and NYC.
After that, I’m going to let others do it and collect my royalties.
Maybe come down there in February for vacation and eventually, wind up in the Keys and go fishing with Rodguy.
Would also be a good time for others from this thread to show up at Rod’s place?
We go out on a boat for a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour???
He goes into all that. The Japanese were VERY reluctant to fight the USA. And in months leading up to the war, they had gotten their noses punched hard by the Soviet's elite Far Eastern corps. They did not want to fight both.
They had a spy working in the Soviet embassy who told them that Stalin had pulled these troops to fight the Germans in October of 1941.
This led to Hirohito's war cabinet to agree to attack Pearl Harbor. Up until that time, it might never have happened. Japan only had 6 months of oil left for their fleet.
"East Wind, Rain" was one of three possible "execute" messages which Japanese diplomats around the world had been alerted to begin listening for on November 19th. They were told to monitor the regular news and weather broadcasts from Tokyo, just as they always did, but to pay especially careful attention to the phraseology employed to describe the weather."East wind, Rain" went out on November 20th, 1941.If they heard the words "North Wind, Cloudy," it meant war with the Soviet Union.
If they heard the words "West Wind, Clear," it meant war with the British Empire.
And if they heard the words "East Wind, Rain," it meant war with the United States.
It was very much a last minute decision.
Take that filter outside and carefully whack it against something to get that dust off. You will still need to replace it, but letting the furnace get some oxygen might keep it from shutting off again in the meantime.
DJT has major accomplishments in 2 years, with more crucial judicial appointments guaranteed.
I see nothing --except more judicial appointments-- advancing for 2 years, and some sort of wall funding resulting from a govt. shutdown. That will be a battle royale. Pelosi can't allow it, and DJT can't let it slide any longer.
To parphrase DJT on election night: "Sorry for the delay, politics is a complicated business."
If ever I want to watch a room full of hyenas, I will go to a zoo, NOT to an ABC program!
I told the guy to do that.
He told me it could go without a filter for a while, better than risking it dying again.
But you’re right, if all fails the filter could have used a bang against a wall.
Who knew a dirty filter would shut down a furnace?
Cost me $220 to find out but I know to check the filter and to use the breaker box to re-set.
What an awful Sunday morning. I was so scared.
Also, read here:

I got the previous quote from Kevin Strom’s article, East Wind, Rain: Treason at Pearl Harbor. Almost exact quote from Tolland’s book, though.
what I read is that someone - TOJO? made a decision to attack Pearl Harbor. But the discussions were also about haw much of an OVERREACH the Japs did with Pearl Harbor.
As for Oil they were in control of or could have been of the Philippines, and Bruani had all the Oil that they needed.
A good example of Upper management decision making. At these levels the hubris is overwhelming - Macron, Former CEO of Exxon, Nobama, the list is long
On China - They are working two issues with Russia - One is Oil/Gas trade deal. The other, much more ominous - China is volunteering to FARM some of the less desirable Russian far east - And this is the way of accruing Land through settlement by your people. - The Russians see this as a real threat.
Audit the Fed, some people over there need to go to prison.
(The Banksters)
And the unelected/overpaid bureaucRATs really, really hate us.
Congrats for your training success! Brrrrr! January for Trenton, NYC.
Well, in order to get the oil, the Japs had to go to war with the USA. The Philippines were US Territory then.

Both Toland (there’s only one l, sorry) and Strom believed and had proof that FDR LED them into the war.
Intercepted messages clearly show US and British intelligence knew the Japanese code, and the “East Wind, Rain” message was well known and intercepted on Nov 19th (I said 20th so I was a day off). Yet both Admiral Kimmel and General Short in Hawaii were NEVER told about it, and both were court-martialed.
Tojo was the leader of the War Cabinet, so had much influence. Admiral Yamamoto was against fighting the USA, but bowed to the Emperor’s decision to approve the War Cabinet’s plan. Yamamoto did appoint the officers who drew up the plan to attack Pearl Harbor, but didn’t want to pull the trigger unless the US carriers were there (they were NOT on Dec 7th). Even then he thought it was reckless gamble.
Tojo was too sure of himself and thought America was weak morally, and Japanese Bushido would carry the victory. Yamamoto had actually gone to graduate school in the USA.
I was very fortunate during the early 1980s when I was in Australia, to visit many Pacific islands were we had bases; American Samoa, Fiji, and also of course spend a couple weeks on Hawaii.
That's pretty good!
Sounds like a Management issue - same as Patton (attack Russia) at end of WWII.
As for the Philippines, the Japs supply chain could have supported a more limited Pacific theater AND FDR may not have had the same resolve to fight the Japs that he got from the American population after the U.S. itself was attached at Pearl Harbor
I happened to be passing by the Family Room where the TV was on. Some pinhead ‘analyst’ was saying, “Trump is at the exact same place Nixon was when he resigned his Presidency.”
STFU! Sadly, Everyday People Who VOTE watch this crap! Aarrggh!
The history of the Fed is very interesting. The Good part is that they provide some check on the Fed. G'ment. The bad bad part is that we have had too many academics as Fed chairmen and their inability or better yet - Total lack of knowledge of how banking and business work in the real world
If I could be like Matthew Bracken or Jeff Head, I would novelize my ideas about a future war with China. It would go something like this:
1. After Trump, the Left ascends back to power (probably the most heart-breaking part) and continues to socialize the USA. They vote in “free” health care, make free speech that is hateful (using THIER definitions) illegal and imprison conservatives and biblical Christians, promote homosexuality and debauchery at all costs while going after heterosexual men who like women and above all ruin the economy until the last factory shuts down and moves to China.
2. Now China, meanwhile, grows in military and economic strength. While the Left is gutting the American military, China builds several fleets of modern aircraft carriers and supersedes the USA in combat aircraft.
3. Credit in the USA fails on a massive scale. The democrats sieze the Federal Reserve and make it cough up money for the poor and the deficit. But the deficit skyrockets. There is no one paying taxes. The rich have fled, the middle class is now poor, and the Left prints fake money.
3. The Chinese, sick of taking phony dollars for their stuff, start seizing American assets. They’re everywhere in the States, controlling about everything not socialized by the government.
4. Eventually the Chinese military lands in Long Beach and seizes control of the United States of America. The Leftist leaders, under President Ocasio-Cortez, are purged (read executed) and Americans who are actually subservient Chinese puppets (read: just OTHER Leftists who hate America) are put in charge.
5. The puppets order Americans to commit to slave labor, where they declare a People’s Republic on World President Xi Jinping’s method of subordinate states, and the American serf starts making cheap iPhones for the new, swelling Chinese middle class, now that Apple belongs to Huawei, for 20 cents a day and a bowl of dirty rice.
See, there is no need to fight a war between the USA and China, as long as the Left get back into power. Everyone forgets about Global Warming as the new, growing ice sheets press down from the North.
