“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31 KJV

What a week in America. We have two opposite directions for the country to go. One is an American first path which will continue to grow the economy or a blame America first direction. Both are valid to their followers although you have to think even the NeverTrumpers will vote their pocketbooks when they get in the booth.

The reversal on the air attack in Iran is one of the most interesting decisions the President has made. It was not a cowardly back down as much as it was a bluff against the leadership Mullahs. When has a President ever considered the optics of killing over a hundred and fifty Iranians when there was a military photop available?

What good is jumping into another skirmish in the Middle East when we have been tied up there for nearly twenty years? In the end he made the right decision when every other Repub President would take the shock and awe route. It is time to get out of that den of scorpions and hold their coats until they can decide who is the last dictator standing.

Compare his measured decision to Slow Joe and the 23 dwarfs. When you have to race to the most radical statements to get attention you are bound to say more and more outlandish things. It is not enough to say you will pay for everything from after birth abortions to college and healthcare for everyone on the planet, you have to get out of that mainstream and claim blacks need payment for slavery.

Now they want to bury Biden for working with fellow Dems in the 70s. Never mind they were Dems who was in the Senate where everyone are friends with everyone else, he is a racist and needs to begin his apology tour. This is the Party who could not find a host for the Academy Awards since there is nobody in America pure enough, they will lynch anyone for anything.
They are going to using the circular firing squad normally reserved for Repubs on themselves. Wait until they find Commie Sanders wrote a book about raping women and he will be a dead deer on the side of the road. Even though he will likely survive it and become the nominee he may not get the usual protection you would expect from the media branch of the Party.

The obvious problem they have is they do not have a Trump, they are what he was elected to get away from. Even if they did have someone he would never get away with not being socially clean. The first time he would say something like Communism may not work in a country this size his chances would be over. Not to mention there is no way to advance in the DNC or becoming an entrepreneur without being a part of the establishment. There is absolutely no way to fight the establishment from inside it like Biden and someone like Oprah would not last three weeks without finding a Social Justice sin in their trunk.

What they dismiss and do not understand about Donald Trump is his freedom to say and think whatever he wants. The media or DC cannot control him since he is self-made and he gets his voters more than they get themselves. He can say the most non politically correct things since he is free to say whatever he wants whenever he wants to say them since most of his supporters will agree.

While the Bidens of the world spend millions on focus grouped clichés to make sure he says absolutely nothing to inform or offend, Trump is making fun of Pocahontas driving her batty. This gives him a huge amount of freedom and flexibility while the media is helpless to stop him. They have thrown the kitchen sink and he is stronger than ever while they shrink into their ever growing quicksand. He simply says what 75% of this country is thinking and is too terrified to say. They may say and look outraged but in the end they nod in agreement.

The Iran decision is classic Trump. Whether he was bluffing and making the Mullahs look like fools or was serious and decided to stand down, he knows what works symbolically and this was an easy win without the bombs and blood. Why spend a couple billion in weapons over $100 million spy drone? It didn’t make economic sense so in Trumps world it didn’t make political. He is pure balance sheet and nothing else.

We finally have a President who is more focused on bringing the troops home rather than sending them on another foolish mission. There are times to go to war and then times to stand pat. Having some Islamic nutjob shooting down one of our eyes in the sky is no reason to risk slipping into a path to war with an enemy which is already on the ropes. Doing just the opposite of George Bush and Barak is a good place to start when you are Commander in Chief.

Pray for our President

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.

  In addition there are quite a few other frequent contributors that deserve pats on the back. I can’t list them all but pay attention and send me notice if they deserve special honorable mention.   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.

    Tuesday 6/18/19

  BIG TRUMP RALLEY COMNG 6/18/19

  On this past Sunday there was a national impeach Trump day. All over the country hoards of Trump haters congregated to have the president impeached.

  Highest turnout was ten people somewhere in California. Two or three turned out deeper south.

  They pay people to do this.

  For twenty bucks, plenty of folks will stand and shout about whatever they are told.

  Now on Tuesday, 6/18/19, at the Amway center in Orlando, Florida there will be a big Trump rally as he announces his plans to run in 2020.

  Not that we didn’t already know this but thousands, many thousands, are expected to show up.

  And these people have to pay with no financial aid from Soros.

  Ears and eyes open.

  WHAT’S GOING ON IN HONG KONG

  I am not sure just what the set up is in Hong Kong. With a little research I understand that 22 years ago Britain handed over Hong Kong to China. Unlike China, Hong Kong was allowed to grow and flourish . Perhaps because of its location and its relationship to much of the world, Hong Kong has evolved into a major metropolis. I did not know it is still under the control of China.

  But China now wants to take more control over Hong Kong, it would seem. China wants to be able to bring criminals back to China if they somehow escaped to Hong Kong. The citizens of Hong Kong don’t like this idea at all. There have been protests in the street for some 15 days as of this writing.

  China has never been known for its freedom and liberty. Hong Kong evidently does not like being aligned with China.

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

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gingrich-hong-kond-protests-china-xi-jinping

July 1 is the 22nd anniversary of the handover from Britain to China. In recent years, this date has been used by democracy activists to protest and communicate their desire for genuine self-government. This year, July 1 could turn into a genuine test of the concept of one country, two systems.

If Xi exercises disciplined restraint and allows Hong Kong to evolve, we will be in a vastly different world – and may be able to talk about a long-term evolution from dictatorship toward freedom for China.

If, on the other hand, he moves to crush dissent and to impose totalitarian controls on Hong Kong, we will be in a much more serious challenge to freedom across the planet.

This is a critically consequential moment that matters to all of us – not just to the more than seven million citizens of Hong Kong. Now, we must wait and see what Xi decides.

A LITTLE POLITICAL MISCELLANY

  That helicopter that crashed on the roof of that skyscraper in New York is going to be a bear to take down. Scuttlebutt is that it will have to be dismantled on the roof and taken down the elevator piece by piece.

  The mind is boggled.

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

  I am a bit heart-broken that one of my heroes is being revealed as being a real asshole.

  I speak of the Rev. Martin Luther King. Who, it is said, enjoyed all sorts of sexual misdeeds, once laughing on as a rape was taking place right in front of him.

  Bill Cosby.

Martin Luther King

John F. Kennedy

  Above just a few of those I once admired and enjoyed.

  Until the truth of their hedonism was revealed to us.I will never believe in a “hero” again.

    Wednesday 6/19/19

  PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES HE WILL RUN AGAIN

 

  As of this writing the Democrats begin their campaign of maligning the man. Beginning with the personable, honest winner…Bernie Sanders.

------------------------- 

  Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders lit into President Donald Trump in advance of Trump’s Florida campaign kickoff rally, calling him a “racist” who won’t tell his supporters how he “tried to throw 32 million people off of healthcare.”

  On Tuesday’s edition of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, host Andrea Mitchell asked Sanders for his reaction to the possibility that Trump might live-tweet the Democratic debates.

  “Well, I’m surprised that he has the time to tweet, I thought he would be watching, you know, some Fox TV program,” Sanders quipped, before really going in on Trump.

  “Look, he can tweet all that he wants to tweet, but let me just say this,” Sanders said. “You have a president who, despite what one of his supporters mentioned a moment ago, is in fact a pathological liar, he is a racist, he is a sexist, he is a homophobe, and he is a religious bigot.”

  Turning to Trump’s kickoff rally, Sanders called Trump a “phony,” and said “I suspect that tonight in his speech, he will not tell them that he tried to throw a 32 million people off of healthcare, that his last budget called for a trillion and a half dollar cut over 10 years to Medicaid, massive cuts to Medicare, billions in cut to social security.”

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

  Isn’t he a sweetheart? Calling the president we elected a pathological liar. Based on what Bernie? A racist?

  The Democrats are going to freak out over that show the night of this writing. Because while Biden gets about 150 people at his campaign stops….and Hillary never got anybody with her and Bill’s talking tour….and none of them grab much attention….THIS EVENT BY TRUMP WILL DRIVE THEM NUTS.

  As much as anything, the Democrats will hang themselves with their utter classless behavior for the rage that the man on the stage will win while they will be made to look stupid.

  I never thought I’d say this, but right now Nancy Pelosi looks like the smartest one in the room.

  We’ll be watching and reporting.

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

POLITICAL CARTOOON OF THE WEEK

 

    Thursday 6/20/19

  PRESIDENT TRUMP KICKS OFF HIS 2020 CAMPAIGN

  Why yes I did listen to President Trump’s campaign speech and like all the pundits before it, I rate it a solid A+.

  First, the Amway convention center (is Amway still around?) holds an estimated 25K. It sold out and the outside area was filled with people. All across the country local bars and eateries had Trump parties and the opposition party called the guy names but no one could stop the impetus.

  My favorite Trump sound byte involved Hillary’s erased 3K+ emails while Trump said, with great humor and sarcasm, that were he to erase just one email he would go to the electric chair.

  THIS is what makes Trump different from other Republican presidents. George Dubya let them carry on about Hurricane Katrina when he did a stellar job of overseeing. And the Iraqi war…..the Democrats voted for the thing but after it was won and Saddam was dead they screeched and blamed Bush for the irregular results of the conflict.

   Trump gives it right back to them and folks, if Trump wasn’t using his bully pulpit to keep pointing out the ways of the far left opposition and how they tried to take down the president we duly elected no one would know.

  Dubya and the rest of those Bushes turned out to be awful people….George Dubya is just too stupid beyond what I ever knew.

  At any rate, the Dems have to be taking gas. Ole Bernie Sanders got out in front of the world before the speech and called Trump a racist, liar, sexist, queer-hater….well every name he could think of.

  Such a classy crew they are.

  But they had to watch Trump supporters, deplorables from Walmart and they had to know that the time is upon. Those who violated the wishes of the people and the words of the constitution shall pay the price.

  Great speech, great reception, great crowd.

--------------------- 

It’s time for ….NOT Politics by Pat

  The purple petunia…

  The lawn care crew showed up to mow the happily growing grass and I gazed out the window. He’s my regular guy and does a great job. He merrily rode that stand-up lawn mower and with his truck, wagon and hauling bar his setup greatly resembled a train. I smiled. The smell of recently cut grass made my nose smile. If such a thing is possible.

  As I gazed out the window, without the lawn crew knowing I was watching, I notice a purple petunia growing directly in the middle of the lawn. My brows furrowed. How the hell would a petunia end up pretty and happy in the middle of the lawn and, I add, about to be ruthlessly mowed over?

  Well I thought the guy on the stand-up mower would just run over the thing because how on earth could he avoid cutting the grass yet save the petunia? Further, I didn’t especially want the petunia growing in the middle of my lawn because…well petunias are not supposed to be growing in the middle of lawns.

  But the guy on the lawn mower saw the petunia and he stepped off the mower and I watched him walk over and finger the petunia to, I dunno, figure out what the hell it is doing there. He then went back but didn’t get on the lawn mower. He went over to his train thing and got a tool. I smiled as he went over to the petunia and carefully, using a garden trowel, pulled it out from the ground. He then carried the petunia, roots and all, over to a garden meant for such as petunias. He dug a small hole and now the pretty petunia, that wanted to live in the grass I must suppose, is growing sweet and pretty in a garden meant for such as petunias.

  The whole time the guy didn’t know I was watching him.

  Insert smile here.

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

  THE BACHELORETTE ASKS A POSSIBLE LOVE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF ALL.

  I do not especially like Hannah, this season’s bachelorette. She cries every five minutes over nothing and boring, damn that show is boring. But I can watch it without having to pay much attention and I kind of enjoy reality shows.

  And that contender for Hannah’s heart, Luke P. is his name, is so boring and for almost two hours Hannah and Luke P. play ring around the rosy.

  But finally Hannah, after many tears and sobs, manages to ask Luke P. the one critical question that should be answered in every possible future relationship.

  “DO YOU LIKE SPAGHETTI MORE THAN MACARONI AND CHEESE?” she asked.

  There you go people. I sat right up when those two finally started to communicate on a level needed by two people about to fall in love.

  It’s a question that must be asked but, alas, I don’t think Luke P. even answered.

  Alas.

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

OJ SIMPSON

  Here’s the most classless guy on the planet. Don’t look right, don’t look left. He’s an awful human being.

  So now he’s on Twitter, vowing he’s got some “getting even” to do.

  Here’s a guy who murdered two people in cold blood, got off scot free and STILL went to jail for getting involved in some robbery.

  Now he’s out of jail he’s got to get even.

  God, if you’ve got a spare bolt of lightening sitting around, could you maybe send it toward OJ Simpson’s head?

  I’d love to see that guy breathing no more.

    Friday 6/21/19

  DRONE SHOT DOWN BY IRAN IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ

  Here’s my thought. John McCain is no longer with us so we don’t have to enter into a war, stay there forever, never, ever leave. Giving John McCain forever funds from munitions makers. Not that John McCain was anybody’s hero.

  But I digress.

  Iran’s been doing this shitty kind of thing over the past couple of weeks and these people are like children. The very, very brave, America-loving President Obama gave Iran billions of dollars to shut up and calm the Iranians. Scuttlebutt is that another hero and very brave man, John Kerry, has been going over to Iran and talking with the Mullahs. On his own, the wonderful John Kerry, who awarded himself a purple heart and served in Vietnam. With no authorization from the administration in charge.

  Kerry and McCain. Two American heroes.

  Oh, let’s not forget Obama, giving our enemy our taxpayer dollars, all with his Iranian buddy Valerie Jarrett.

  Notice Iran is blowing holes in ships and this time they shot down a drone. They want to provoke America into a war, have our soldiers go over, fight the war to help the people. But they don’t really want to hurt America bad. Face it rest of the world, you kill an American with your aggressive behavior and terror and power shall rain down upon you.

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

HERE

  US military drone has been shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile while in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, US officials say.

  Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it shot down the drone over Iranian airspace, near Kuhmobarak in the southern province of Hormozgan.

  IRGC commander Maj-Gen Hossein Salami said the incident sent "a clear message to America", state media said.

  It comes at a time of escalating tension between the US and Iran.

 -------------

  PAYING REPARATIONS

  I haven’t paid much attention to the hearings on reparations except for scattered sound bytes. I do know there were a couple of black guys all complaining about how the payment of reparations for slavery would be a way of putting them back into slavery.

  And, of course, there’s Al Sharpton, who owes millions in income taxes. He promises everyone money for slavery.

  They were never slaves and I never owned a slave.

  But when it comes to the re-distribution of wealth there’s a technique to it.

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

  This Week’s Editorial –CAPTIALISM AND MY APPLES 

  I love apples. I have loved apples since a child when I made home-made apple pies from the apples under our apple tree on our world famous farm. I also canned apples to eat over the harsh winter months.

  I especially love apples today.

  Because I don’t know what they did to apples in the current technology, but once upon a time apples turned brown and visually unappealing very quickly. Now the apples come already peeled and will stay bright and crisp for many days.

  Further, I am one person. When I gathered apples under that apple tree (and fought off the yellow jackets mightily) I prepared them for a family of five. Now I am one person and like that I can purchase a small takeaway package with one apple inside. Or I can get a package of maybe three apples, cut into wedges, available to eat over the week.

  These apples are exquisite examples of capitalism.

  “Say what?” you ask.

  That one apple I sometimes buy, wedged and packed into a plastic container to protect and keep fresh, probably cost about five bucks from tree to grocery store.

  That’s a lot of money for one apple.

  But how much would it have been in my day of the yellow jackets and the apple tree? No one had yet developed the technology or agriculture to grow apples that held their color and freshness over many days. For once I took those apples out from under that tree, with about a dozen yellow jacket stings, I had to cook them quick.

  Add the cost of packaging, cutting into wedges, shipping to the store….one apple costs about five bucks a pound.

  Understand I don’t pay five bucks for that small packet of apples. I pay maybe two bucks. The package of maybe half an apple will be part of maybe my next two meals.

  My father would have reeled over at the notion of half an apple costing two bucks. We got bushels of apples, along with many fine yellow jackets, for virtually nothing.

  I’d never eat those apples today.

  Capitalism, someone who saw the need for individually packaged apples that didn’t rot the second of purchase, that was clean and crisp….capitalism took an apple out from under that tree and made it into a pleasant, fuss-free snack.

  It is worth five bucks a pound for apples because hey, I only want one, not a bushel, and for sure no yellow jackets.

  Some entrepreneur, probably corporation, noted a need for apples that don’t require big baskets to store the apples on a sweaty day. There was a need for apples that didn’t turn brown to soft to rotten within hours.

  Yes I enjoyed those apples from my youth and believe that I can suffer bee stings with little pain and anxiety. I could not use those individually packaged apples to make a pie. I’d need a five pound bag of apples for that.

  But I don’t want to make apple pies at this point in my life. I’ll buy an apple pie should I need one. Although, as an aside, you will never buy an apple pie as good as the ones I used to make.

  Some capitalist somewhere allowed me to have apples in the most perfect of conditions.

  With no yellow jackets anywhere.

  Saturday 6/22/19

  TOO MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE KILLED

  President Trump shuts down intended assault on Iranian munitions but changes mind right before planned attack.

  All the pundits speak about Trump’s planned action for Iran’s attack of a very sophisticated American drone in international waters.

  Trump himself tweeted today that he was told by the military that intended attacks on Iranian assets would cause 150 deaths of Iranian military and civilians. Trump, wisely and not that anyone will give him credit, decided that 150 people dying was not on par with the destruction of an inanimate piece of equipment. 

  Of course he’s right. Had Trump went ahead with the revenge attack there would be thousands of leaks to the NY Times by some traitors that Trump was warned but went ahead anyway.

  Not hearing much to admire his decision.

  One more sort of odd thing, some guy named Keene…I know not who he is, is out and about saying that Iran is very angry at their military guy who shot down that drone.

  President Trump softly mentioned that he knew the attack on the drone was a not planned and the Iranians were very mad at the guy who launched the missile.

  It’s a sort of strange story and there’s way more to it than we know is my guess.

  -------------------

  WOMAN ACCUSES TRUMP OF RAPING HER IN DEPARTMENT STORE FITTING ROOM

  I don’t much recall her name except she claims to be a world-renown advice columnist.

  Says Trump joined her in a fitting room to try on lingerie than felt her up and put it in.

  This happens all the time, males going into female fitting rooms and raping the women.

  They’ll not give it up, those with TDS.

  Just now this witch is coming out with this story?

  Trying to throw the scuttlebutt out there….see where it goes.

  The more they keep ridiculously attacking Trump the more they will lose.

  -------------------

  LET’S END THE WEEK WITH A SMILE

Ha! I grow my own apples. I have several varieties that can *maybe* produce apples if it gets cold enough in the Winter.

Did you know many fruit trees need what is called “chilling hours” to produce fruit? X number of chilling hours per variety. So I can only grow apples bred in New Zealand or Israel like Gala, Granny Smith, and Kiwi. They all have low chilling hours.

Anyway, thanks to Global Warming, we had a very cold Winter in Alabama. Enough chilling hours for most of my apple trees, which are now covered with apples!

Now I have to spray for worms, fruit flies, and fungi.

I figure those apples cost me at least $10 per pound given all the care I’ve tried over the past twenty years growing them.

Morning AB! Great analysis of the shows and their far left participants yet another action packed week as our potus stands tall yet again over and over showing his love of country vs. the rats love of controlling political expectations for their side.Their continuance party platform of hate trump as a campaign narrative perpetuates their eventual slide into irrelevance.

I could make some wonderful apple pies with your apples. I canned them too! Need a pressure cooker to can apples.

Not to repeat myself, but I love, love, love apples.

Wow quite a piece you cover a lot of ground in todays essay. Its interesting to see how the dems celebrate when they think that Trump will start WWIII after the mad mullahs shoot down our 200 million dollar drone in international waters. Trump is too smart to play into the hands of either piglosi/shoomer or the mad mullahs. Plus he really does care about taking 150 lives over a monetary loss that he is not sure was little more than an error.

We have the best of the best potus ever we need to support him 24/7.

It's a blurry photo but you can tell the celebration is in since these clowns don't care about the country at all only politcal gain which is all that matters to the hard lefties.

It looks like Schumer has two right arms. I know he’s two-faced, so I guess three arms is not out of the question!

That thing with AOC calling the southern border a concentration makes me need to pray.

It was the dumbest statement made by a politico ever.

She won’t be speaking so much publicly any more. Sometimes you say something so stupid that nobody will pay attention to you ever again.

Stay tuned for my story of my Iranian boyfriend.

Au contraire!

Yesterday she tweeted that the Oil Refinery that blew up in Philadelphia was caused by global warming, and hurt the poor hardest.

I kid you not.

The woman is a buffoon, and frankly, too stupid to know when to shut up.

I have told this vignette before but there’s a lesson in it somewhere.

When I was 19 years old, very many years ago but I was young and beautiful. I was probably no more beautiful than any one reading this entry but everyone is beautiful at 19.

I had a boyfriend. Understand he was no Iranian. Well he was from Iran but he called himself Persian.

His name was Ali, he made home-made yogurt using cheesecloth in his sink and we ate sitting on the floor. He was a great guy and the handsomest guy on planet earth then and since.

Yes, I loved him but at 19, well who knows. Add to it that he was from Persia and I am about as American as they come.

This was BEFORE the worst president ever, Jimmy Carter, the Iran hostage crisis. At that time the Persians were a very intelligent peoples, were not crushed by the oppression of Islam. The young people worked and lived, no burkas.

Then Ali....who was a great chef....wanted to go home to Persia and visit his mother.

He wanted me to go. I pondered such a trip but all bets were off when he told me I would need to wear a burka.

Like I said, the Persians didn’t wear burkas but it was his mother and the idea was for me to show allegiance to the Persian heritage.

The Mullahs and Ayotollas have since destroyed that country.

I refused the burka thing and, at the time, I bid Ali goodbye and moved on.

Just know that Iran was once a paradise, beloved by its people. There were no stupid mullahs and religious police to bring down the civilization.

I think about Ali, of course, from time to time.

They use that awful religion to control people. These are not good people. They are nothing-burgers who could never rise to anything in a free country.

Did I mention President Trump will be on Chuck U. Todd’s Meat the Press this morning?

I hope some of you all will comment on it.

Fake gotchas gonna fly!

I stand by my assertion that sooner or later she will be totally ignored.

Although I did not know about her comment on the oil refinery.

Like I said, turn off your ears with that woman. She is a tool, nothing more.

Looks like the Honeypot and Meet the dePressed is the only ones worth watching. Mike Wallace Jr won’t give Cotton a chance to get a single sentence out.
