“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Robert Muleteam made a complete and utter fool of himself again. If there was any doubt he was nothing more than a District of Corruption hack he proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt at his presser. Rather than go out with a shred of dignity after his fake investigation which turned up absolutely nothing in the way of evidence he has to use it to fan the flames of impeachment for his own selfish needs. His next press conference should consist of two questions, Cigarette? Blindfold?

How in the world after $30 million dollars, a dozen partisan Dem lawyers and no telling how many FBI and CIA NeverTrump investigators trying to find the slightest bit of evidence to frame the President do you go up and do a swan song? This was embarrassing in the highest degree and the Beltway denizens fell right in line like a Rockettes Chorus at the Macy’s parade. Since we could not prove him guilty he must be guilty!

Now we see how the FBI works. They are not in search of guilt or innocence, they are out for convictions whether you are guilty or innocent. Whether it was breaking the law with the FISA warrants or the elimination of the presumption of innocence we now see what the intelligence departments are built on. This has set back the trust in our institutions for Conservatives decades as most have supported them and now look at them with jaundiced suspicion.

Just like everything else in the District of Corruption they have been infiltrated by Marxists who believe the gummit can run things better than individuals. They have the new world order mentality which believes a one world structure would work better than individuality. They believe the ends justify the means and stopping a person like Donald J Trump is more important that upholding the Constitution of the United States. They believe the centralized gummit must be protected and grown no matter what the cost and in this case it was violating Donald Trump’s civil rights.

If he were a black crack addict in downtown Philly he would have been screaming bloody murder about probable cause and every BLM and NAACP group would have been suing the popo for violating his rights. Unfortunately it is the President of the United States so he does not have the same rights as a homeless crack addict and the left is celebrating the FBI for violating those rights. What the Marxists don’t understand or care about is if they can spy on a candidate running for office then they can spy on that crack addict and everyone else in America.

Since everyone in America is caring a listening and camera device in their pocket they should care about what it takes to use it for eavesdropping. If it is fine for the FBI to use a fake dossier from one of his enemies to get a warrant to spy, what would it take to spy on you? Can they claim you may have cheated on your taxes so they need to get a warrant whether they have proof or not? Can they claim you are involved with drugs or some other illegal activity whether you are or not and get that warrant. According to the FBI you no longer have any rights to privacy.

Mueller has shown a complete contempt for the rule of law and the Constitution. He has violated President Trump’s civil rights in every way he could. He eliminated his attorney client privilege when he broke down his attorney’s door and stole all of his records to strong arm his attorney into testifying against Trump. He used his office to pursue a crime he knew had never been committed and now says you do not have the right to the presumption of innocence. These are all the basic fabric of freedom and the American legal system.

Whether he was going after a crack addict or President of the United States, Robert Mueller is a dirty cop and should be put in front of a pock filled wall with one empty chamber. He and James Comey have destroyed the FBI and the intelligence community which has had a poor record to begin with. In addition to these crimes he also is suspected of being involved with the Russian graft in the Uranium One scandal which makes Teapot Dome look like a picnic. There was over a half a billion in bribes and payoffs to take ownership of our most strategic resource by the enemy the Dems claim to worry about.

This darling of the media may very well share a cell with their last love Avenatti. Both of them let their obsession with taking down Trump destroy their professional careers. They were both skating on thin ice ethically and after everything is exposed may turn out to be the frauds many know they are. The mediots will continue to cover for their corruption but more and more is exposed every day.

We have seen the absolute destruction of a person’s American freedoms in the name of winning an election. When that was lost the then presidency of Barak Obama then ran a coup attempt from his shadow White House and coordinated his deep state allies as well as media allies tried to overthrow this administration. This was the biggest abuse of power in the country’s histoir and continues with Mueller’s press event to continue to façade and cover their guilt.

Until Attorney Barr begins exposing the criminals one by one and explain their abuse of their power we are in danger of continued damage to our Constitution and country by the Dems. They do not care about America, justice or the law and only are driven by their craven power and greed. The next year needs to expose, accuse and charge these outlaws to begin cleaning the sewer and reignite America’s Shining City.

Pray for President Trump

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 you Rodguy for fishing tales and political perspectives from all angles, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

WHAT IS THIS INCOME INEQUALITY?

I heard a woman on one of the Sunday political talk shows round tables, don’t know her name but she was young and obviously liberal.

She spouted a list of things currently wrong with the country. Along with climate change, and other liberal causes, she lamented because income inequality was on the rise.

Say what?

Income inequality is, by the name, when incomes are not all equal.

Has that ever been the case? What am I missing here? Should a carpenter make as much as the CEO of a bank? Should a fast food employee make as much as a carpenter?

If anything were ever left to the market place it for sure is salaries. The gubmint, only once that I remember and I was a victim of it, dictated salaries for non-government employees. Save for minimum wage, one might argue.

I think the income inequality term most often refers to male employees versus female employees. I was a woman’s libber of the highest order back in my youth (not that I’m proud of that) and at that time women were receiving less money than men for doing the same job.

At least that was the assertion of the day. For 15 years I worked at a big manufacturing plant, Western Electric, and we had a union. Salaries were the same regardless of sex.

After that job I spent the rest of my working life mostly doing payroll and running accounting departments. Since I do payroll, indeed did payroll for almost ten years at Western Electric, go with me on this….I KNEW HOW MUCH PEOPLE MADE!!!

The men did not make more than the women. Salaries were based, as in most places, on seniority.

So if we didn’t have all this so-called inequality back in my day 50 years ago, we do not have it now.

Which is not to say that there are not men making more than women doing the same job out there in the world. Salaries….take it from a payroll professional, are based on whether there’s a union, the minimum wage of both state and federal, and length of time on the job. But there are exceptions, strange reasons, relatives of the owners…on and on and on. But mostly salaries are in the same range as males vs females, indeed, even white vs. black. An employer wants somebody who works hard, does a good job, shows up on time and regularly. They mostly do not care about color of skin or type of genitals.

Just somebody want more people to feel aggrieved and vote for the Democrats.

Heh.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MEETS THE NEW JAPANESE EMPEROR

It’s Memorial Day and all across the country the sailors and marines sing. The navy marches and the Coast Guard performs drills.

It’s a patriotic day. VP Pence presided over the ceremonies at Arlington cemetery. President Trump?

Heh.

Well he’s in Japan.

Meeting their new emperor.

Damn, I didn’t know Japan still had an emperor. I thought they threw that guy out after Pearl Harbor.

President Trump….that man never seems to rest.

TARGET PROMOTING A HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE

Seriously, it’s not that most of us much care about who one sleeps, whether one is male with a male partner or female with a female partner or, in some odd cases, a female sharing bed with a male.

But of late, and I speak of the last 20 years, it’s not enough to not be nosey and not be nasty to those who lead a quiet unobtrusive lifestyle, however different. Today we are to smile and ooh and aah over the lesbians, gays and transgenders amongst us.

And now a big drug store is contributing big bucks to not only teach young students to be polite and live and let live, now they are giving money to ENCOURAGE such lifestyle.

Is this really necessary?

I am willing to live and let live but to have my grandchildren and descendants live in a society where they are encouraged to live lifestyles not in keeping with the call of nature, never mind religion or God?

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

HERE

Target is also donating $100,000 to the Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an organization whose primary focus in on indoctrinating school-aged students into organizing "gay" clubs in public schools across the nation.

GLSEN also offers lesson plans for elementary school children on "gender-neutral" pronouns and terminology as part of the Common Core curriculum as well as introducing gender ideology to third-graders.

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

SPEAKING OF SEX OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

I didn’t know that Indiana had a ban on abortions based on the sex or other health details of the fetus.

. Evidently the Supreme Court is all busy deciding cases and stuff and the court refused to reverse a lower courts ban on such bans placed on abortion.

Seriously? It’s okay to abort a baby that is a boy when a girl is desired? Maybe we should start aborting based on nose size, body type, anything the parents don’t like can allow abortion, even after birth now, or so it seems.

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

HERE

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court sidestepped major abortion cases Tuesday, letting stand a lower-court ruling that Indiana cannot ban abortions for the purpose of sex, race or disability selection but allowing the state to regulate the disposal of fetal remains.

The court’s unsigned opinion appeared the product of a delicate compromise, and it stressed the justices weren’t ready—for now—to consider whether either law violates the Constitution. Instead, the three-page opinion offered procedural reasons for the different, if perhaps temporary, outcomes in both cases.

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

The Supreme Court started all this love for killing the unborn. Looks like they don’t want to stop it, or even maybe put on the pause button.

BIDEN GETS CREEPY AGAIN

Folks, Former VP Biden really needs to be removed from the public forum and more importantly, he needs to keep his hands to himself.

The picture was taken on 5/28/19. STILL the man insists on putting his hands all over young girls.

Please, this is just plain weird.

Don’t vote for that man.

MUELLER HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE

Seems ole Bob Mueller is closing up the special investigator’s office and retiring.

He refused to answer any questions but he garbled things a bit, declaring that President Trump did many things that were indicators of obstruction of justice.

What a bunch of bullshit.

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

HERE

WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, on Wednesday declined to clear President Trump of obstruction of justice in his first public characterization of his two-year-long investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mr. Mueller said, reading from prepared notes behind a lectern at the Justice Department. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.”

He also said that while Justice Department policy prohibits charging a sitting president with a crime, the Constitution provides for another process to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing — a clear reference to the ability of Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.

HEH. PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSES TO REFUND MUELLER GOLF MONEY

This is interesting. Seems Bob Mueller belonged to gold club owned by Trump. When he wanted was a refund of his deposit when he decided he wasn’t getting enough use of the club

. Now I don’t know what that’s about. Rush Limbaugh, radio raconteur extraordinaire, explains it as below”

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

From Rush Limbaugh In a footnote in the Mueller report, pages 80 and 81: “In October 2011, Mueller wrote a letter to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, resigning his family’s membership, explaining, ‘we live in the District and find that we are unable to make full use of the club,’ according to footnote 529 in the redacted report.

“In the same letter, Mueller asked ‘whether we would be entitled to a refund of a portion of our initial membership fee,’ which the report says was paid in 1994. The [Trump] club responded about two weeks later saying the resignation would be effective October 31, 2011, and that they would be ‘placed on a waitlist to be refunded on a first resigned / first refunded basis’…”

Now, Trump has claimed from the start that Mueller resigned his membership at Trump’s golf club in Sterling in October 2011 due to a disagreement over fees. Trump said he believes Mueller still holds a grudge, and it’s 15 grand, apparently. Mueller wanted a $15,000 refund on his membership. I can’t tell you, folks, the number of people that join golf clubs. You pay to join these damn things, and supposedly if you resign or if you’re a member long enough and you resign, you get some of your deposit, some of your initiation fee back. It never happens. I mean, it happens so rarely that people signing up for these deals ought to realize that they’re not gonna get the deposit back. It’s just a come-on. But, anyway, it’s actually in the Mueller report.

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

Seriously, this is part of the Mueller report? Should Trump be impeached for this?

It’s time for this week’s….

BILL COSBY DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE CENTURY

As I watch Joe Biden fondle young girls I recall Bill Cosby. What a disappointment this guy was. Thinks it’s okay to bring in a female to service him sexually at his convenience and no mind what she wants.

At first I thought all the accusations were lies, told to destroy his reputation as a black man disenchanted with how blacks acted to embarrass him.

Or something.

Hey guys….you only show yourselves to be big thoughtless Jerks when you do this stuff. And don’t tell me the females you exploit enjoy it. They do it because it gets them the job. If you think that woman busy pleasuring some guy she doesn’t even know….I got a bridge to sell….cheap. Got a few bad spots on the supports but I’ll sell it cheap.

Even if you are a once-beloved comedy show host, you were a hypocrite and you destroyed your reputation of a lifetime. Bill Cosby, what a disappointment.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY DOG

But she will live.

Jackie is now 8 years old. I got her 4 years ago, a shelter dog, then 4 years old.

From the very first she began some strange things that continued for the past years since I owned her.

She eats afghans.

NO NOT AN AFGHAN PERSON, afghans….like those things I crochet.

Or towels. Sometimes she eats blankets.

After eating maybe half a towel, it takes a few days and she throws up the digested towel.

The “throw-up” is not vomit-like. It’s very dry, I could pick it up with my bare hands.

I’ve tried changing food, yes to the Vet, feeding less, feeding more, NOT keeping towels or afghans available but she’ll eat the rug.

I give up.

An episode of afghan-eating and subsequent throwing up happens roughly once a month. It’s not difficult to clean up. I get a plastic bag and grab the dry pile of digested fibers. There is not left even a mark on the floor.

I think something is wrong with her digestive system. When I got her she had just been spayed. She suffered almost a week after but I cared for her back to full health. Since then she has been healthy, loves to exercise. She seems like a happy dog but once in a while she eats half a towel, hacks and coughs, and a couple of days later, throws it up.

I was even making her home-made soup every week, assuming well chicken soup is gentle on the digestion, no? But the afghan-eating continues, she lives on.

Again, I give up.

I will not have her x-rayed with a surgery involved to cure…..

I am careful how I feed her and all that but something is wrong with her. I can live with it and so can she.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH THE USS JOHN S. MCCAIN?

I consider this a serendipitous little story but I think I’ve figured it out. And while the media and Democrats want to act all insulted frankly I think it was the right thing to do.

Bearing in mind, in the interest of truth and honestly, I could not stand John McCain, not ever, not during Sarah Palin days, after he insulted us…his very base. Do not forget he is the one who turned over that fake dossier to great fanfare, he would not allow Trump to attend his funeral, he was a man of great temper, a fake make up to look human.

It wasn’t Donald Trump who told them hide the John S. McCain name on that ship from eyes that need not see. Let us bear in mind that this ship was name first for the McCain grandfather, next for the McCain father, and finally for the recently deceased John McCain.

I don’t really think President Trump needed to see that. Trump, like me, despised McCain, as so many mean, evil and lying men are despised.

It seems it was the “White House” who asked that the sign be covered during Trump’s recent trip to Japan.

I think it was for the best.

But I remind, as I always do when speaking of McCain, that I sleep better every night due to that man’s efforts on campaign finance reform.

What a guy.

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

HERE The White House wanted the U.S. Navy to move “out of sight” the warship USS John S. McCain ahead of President Trump’s visit to Japan, according to an email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The ship was named after the father and grandfather of the late senator—a war hero who became a frequent target of Mr. Trump’s ire—and -the senator’s name was added to the ship in 2018.

The Weekly Editorial of Politics by Pat

WHO WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER?

I have the answer at the tip of my tongue.

President Jimmy Carter.

Many might think that President Obama would be my nominee for worst president but no. By me, President Obama was …well first he is very handsome, gotta throw that in. Second, he has a pleasant personality and knew enough not to torture those he was the leader of.

I suffered through the presidency of Jimmy Carter.

First….GAS LINES!!!! Young people today will never know what it’s like to sit in gas lines for three or four house. But I could not get to work without gas in my car.

Indeed, gas lines. What President ever had that happen on their watch.

Second…HOME MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES!!!

I owned a home, my greatest dream at that age, with a reasonable interest rate of 9%. Today that would be considered very high but while I was paying 8%, people around me who wanted to buy a home faced 30 year mortgages of 18% interest or higher.

The home buying market dried up.

So there you have it.

Sitting in gas lines for two hours to get to work to spend entire salary on 18% mortgage.

Of course there was also the Iranian hostage thing and much more.

And still I see that creep turd sitting at national events like he should have some pride, this failure of a man.

He lasted 4 years and next up, President Reagan.

Speaking of the best.

Here is Clarice Feldman's take over at AT which is almost deserted these days becasue they changd their format and only a handful of people still post there.If Clarice and Frank Hawkins weren't there I'd be gone as well. Heres the clip from Clarice:

In common parlance, a made man is someone whose path to success was greased by circumstances. It also refers to someone formally inducted as a full member of a criminal outfit -- the Mafia. In the political atmosphere in which Robert Mueller was born, he, like John Kerry, was virtually assured of a prestigious place in society: He was a tall white man with a hatchet jaw who (like his classmate Kerry) went to an expensive private school – St. Paul’s -- and came from a well-connected and well-off family.

His wife, Ann Cabell Standish Mueller, is related to Charles Cabell, once deputy director of the CIA. Richard Bissell, formerly the CIA’s director of plans, is his cousin. Both men were fired by President Kennedy for their roles in the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

The golf incident between a Trump owned golf course and Mr. mule was just too good. Rush couldn't pass it up.

Seems Mueller moved from one location to another and asked for a partial refund from the Trump owned golf course after being there for years and years! He was told it would be taken under advisement and a decision reached later.

Just too good! Seems mr. mule got pissed. You can't make stuff like that up.!!

Here's a clip from Rush's show:

In a footnote in the Mueller report, pages 80 and 81: “In October, 2011, Mueller wrote a letter to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, resigning his family’s membership, explaining, ‘we live in the District and find that we are unable to make full use of the club,’ according to footnote 529 in the redacted report.

I would say Obama was the worst...actively trying to change and destroy America...still is!

Income inequality...great points...and now even, many cases women are preferred and earning more...another ignored category is on-the-job deaths...fishing boats, underwater welders, rough necking, countless jobs where women are no where in sight...as usual, feminist leftists never mention...but the overall ratio is close to 100 men dead to one woman looked on the job.

As they say, that value is priceless.

The Gateway Pundit seems convinced that the deep state has organized a coup against our potus that has been ongoing and well hidden for some time.

here is a clip: During his interview with CBS on Friday Attorney General William Barr disclosed that the Huber investigation was over.

Huber was assigned to look at FISA applications and the electronic surveillance during the 2016 election and actions by Hillary Clinton.

Huber did not even start his investigation. He didn’t do a damn thing!

...........

The piece suggests that Barr claims Huber did little of what he was supposed to do and that Sessions was in on the coup as well.Meanwhile, lots of well meaning posters thought he(Sessions) was behind the thousands of indictments out there and the supposed goings on at Gitmo.

Q comes into question as well.

The beat goes on......

Back when Nixon was president, y’all might remember, he actually enacted a freeze on wages.

It didn’t last long and it was one of the damn dumbest things a president ever did.

But Nixon, well he had good intentions but he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the lamp.

FREEZING SOMEONE’S WAGE???

And I, a middle-class working woman struggling to get by, had my pay frozen.

Now the freeze didn’t apply to promotions and such and , in due course, I got an increase because of a promotion. But where I worked after getting promoted to a higher grade you get gradual increases over a few years until you hit the top of the pay grade.

THESE increases were denied me.

Why would anybody calling themselves Republicans enact such a law?

Anyway, it didn’t last all that long but bear in mind that it did happen.

I stand by my assertion that Carter was the worst president. Not that Obama was much better but Carter beat the hell out of the people with those gas lines and high mortgage rates.

Obama was too smart to get the people all mad like that.

Not that he wouldn’t do it if it helped his cause and didn’t hurt him.

Carter....the worst.

It actually goes far beyond trying to win an election. There is evidence that this unauthorized spying on Americans goes back to 2012, if not earlier. No one thought Hillary would lose. Trump had to be destroyed at all costs to prevent the revelations we see today. The Dems and the Mueller team have doubled down on removing Trump. They have no choice. Impeachment is the ultimate distraction. The coup attempt continues.

Wage and price ...

First, it's usually Congress that lays the foundation for an imperial presidency with unconstitutional delegations of authority to the executive branch. The Economic Stabilization Act of 1970 gave Nixon legislative cover for his actions.
