“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, Psalm 95:6-7 KJV

What is it like to be today’s perfect liberal? You have to make sure every word is chosen correctly and every thought in perfect order. You cannot adhere to common sense or view the world around you as orderly observance, no you have to adhere to the most radically bizarre explanations of everything surrounding you. The Holy Grail besides the right to murder babies in and out of the womb is Global Warming.

Global Warming has been around now for fifteen years with no actual evidence of having any affects. There are so few affects the Socialist academics have had to push the threat or actual observable evidence out another ten to fifty years. Outside the DNC and kids under 30 there is nobody really buying what they are selling. It is not logical to believe that a natural gas such as CO2 which you exhale every breath is an existential threat to the planet. It is however provable that Communism is an existential threat to humanity.

There is a better way to address the environment which is to make the forests healthier than they are today. America has neglected their Western forests and especially the magnificent Northwestern rain forests for fifty years and now is the time to reverse that trend. This neglect is being caused by the Endangered Species act and the endless stream of lawyers who abuse that law.

The law was invented just like Global Warming with some fake science which said managing the forests properly was killing a species when in reality the species was being killed by natural predators. Just like today elk are being pushed towards extinction by the wolf and cougar the Spotted Owl was being hunted by a predatory owl.

In a similar fashion academia went after the automobile and gas industry with their fake crisis of Acid Rain. There was never any Acid Rain just as there is no Global Warming but Americas Three Pillars of Socialism (Academia, media and DNC) will never allow it to be seriously discussed. If you dare discuss one of the sacred cows like GW you are a racist…no, sexist…no, homophobe…no, science denier…yes. You are sub-human and to be ignored in the world of public debate.

When did science become an institution which could not be questioned? Isn’t that the point of science to question and be questioned? Why is it you cannot ax how a trace element in the atmosphere trap heat in the atmosphere when clouds hold thousands of times more heat than the air does? How can a trace element affect the weather more than the oceans which are the radiators of the world of which we have so little knowledge of? Why do we trust a theory which has been caught numerous times cooking the books with the evidence such as the Professor Mann scandal with his Hockey Stick evidence?

The Three Pillars have made it off limits to question Global Warming or any of their other beliefs for fear of being ridiculed publically and in many instances destroyed financially. They are tyrants in their beliefs and are becoming more and more aggressive in their mandating of their social engineering.

The Three Pillars of the liberal faith have taken the same tactic they used to shut down the forest industry and seriously damaging the oil and coal industries by labeling them fossil fuels to American institutions like marriage, family and sexuality. The same was done with abortion which used to be an embarrassment and now women are using it as a source of pride. Communism needs to destroy beliefs like Christianity to get people to adhere to their immoral lifestyles.

The Communist lifestyle is an atheistic belief which the Three Pillars have the entire power structure which declares the sins and sainthoods of the day. Whether it is the sanctification of Illegal Aliens, Homosexuals, Homeless, Muslims or Ma Eart you have to wake up every day with the list of victims and shunned words to be a perfectly correct person. You have to check those updates hourly since a word in the morning may be an offensive pronoun by noon.

Where has this snowflake society gotten these muzzled masses in their attempt to be humorless drones? We have skyrocketing depression, drug and alcohol abuse and suicide and especially among the most affected the young boys and girls. Some thing this is a joke but it is actually extremely sad this society is being torn apart by a group who crave power and control more than they care about the country and contentment.

It should be obvious to anyone who is paying attention all of these feigned outrage have nothing to do with protecting the victims and everything to do with protecting power. The Global Warming movement has everything to do with destroying capitalism and especially America. If it was about protecting the Eart they would be outraged with China, India and every other country which pollutes more than America. They would be outraged our forests are dying and burning spewing more CO2 in a single fire than the entire country does in a year. No this is about taking away your jobs and freedom so they can control every aspect of your life.

They have used the same tactic over and over using the courts and the system to promote their anti-capitalist agenda. They have complete control of the media to broadcast their message and enslave the people into correct think. This puts the entire country under their control mentally and if they install something as draconian as Global Warming laws will control you physically as they take away your car, job and home to be put under their jurisdiction. With the histoir of Communism this should make everyone cautious of their outcomes. Valenzuela would be the least of most Americans’ worries.

Global Warming is the perfect tool for the Communist Party. It is a religious belief for those who want to worship Mother Earth and willing to sacrifice for your worship. The problem is this is a religion invented by the same people who gave us every killing field in the last century and their solutions sound very similar.

This worship is extremely seductive as everyone has been indoctrinated into being a good citizen of the earth. Nobody wants to harm the forests or the environment so they take those emotions and use them against you to control you. This is the most devious and dangerous tactics the left has invented and are using it to their advantage to the fullest extent. If they get their way they will end America as it has been known and turn it into the most horrible existence man has ever seen without any form of energy to heat, fuel or maintain their lives. All of this for a false science which has yet to show a single piece of verifiable evidence after nearly 20 years of research and billions of dollars.

It is time for America to return to her Christian roots and leave these fake science tactics behind. If it is true we will solve it with capitalistic results and if it is fake like it is being shown to be we can go on to the next scientific discovery that has Communist solutions. Until then it is time to worship God and enjoy the freedom he has given us.

Pray for Freedom

BIG TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH JAPAN AND CHINA WHILE PRESIDENT IS OVERSEAS

Goodness while President Trump is overseas while the Fake Media pundits discussed the error of his ways on yesterday’s Sunday political talk shows.

Why, I ask Chuck Todd, a big nothing-burger acts like he’s so damn smart on “Meet the Press”, what the hell is wrong with the President of the United States of America demanding that other countries treat us fair and adhere fairly to agreements they made with us?

Now yon readers, I ask that question but I bet I know THEIR answer.

“We do not demand fairness in the world,” Chuck Todd would say (what a smart guy, just so damned smart) or require adherence to agreements because we want those countries to like us. We want to be like Sally Field at the Oscars…”THEY LIKE US. THEY REALLY LIKE US.”

We want them to like us so we give them money, throw away our pride, allow ourselves to be cheated upon.

BUT THEY LIKE US , would say Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, Chris Wallace, the whole silly bunch of them.

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

Liu, speaking at a tech conference in southwest China’s Chongqing, said nobody benefited from a trade war.

“We are willing to resolve the issue through consultations and cooperation in a calm attitude and resolutely oppose the escalation of the trade war,” Liu, who is President Xi Jinping’s top economic adviser, said, according to a government transcript.

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

TIME FOR SOME POLITICAL MISCELLANY

“Bombshell”….soon to come to our neighborhood theater.

I chanced to see some of the reviews of this movie and since I am a devotee of Fox News Network, I’m interested.

It is the story of Roger Ailes, a big fat ugly dude…what any woman would see in him is lost on me, and Fox Cable news. We have former Miss America Gretchan Carlson and Meghan Kelly. Both claim to have been harassed sexually in some manner by Roger Ailes.

Gretchen is the female who got swimsuits banned in the Miss America contest but that didn’t last long. Noble idea but come on Gretchen, it’s what it’s all about. And Meghan Kelly? One of the biggest losers ever on Fox cable news.

But yeah, I’ll go see it.

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

I enjoy watching the Sunday political talk shows, not that I have a life or anything. But talk shows, hell I can clean, sit on my porch….I don’t really need to SEE the TV and so I listen while busy and watch when chance comes upon.

This past Sunday I realized something as if a huge lightbulb popped bright in my head.

On every show (almost all) they had guests who despised President Trump. All they did all day was discuss how dumb Trump was to be dealing so roughly with the very tender-hearted Chinese. Even former Governor of New Jersey said Trump means well with these trade complaints and offers to change them….Christie.

As they all sat and discussed Trump and how wrong he was on everything he has done since getting elected….as they sat and moaned over how Trump is handling Afghanistan all wrong….how Trump is pathetic may he be gone soon….and nothing was even close to the truth. It was if the audience was not even there, they were just talking amongst themselves.

The economy (last Sunday all day they discussed the coming recession until I want to spit) is doing great. He won with making Jerusalem the capital of Israel and recognized by America (they spent one whole Sunday discussing how Jerusalem should not be the capital), there is a general peace in the world.

Yet yada, yada, these very smart, smarter than any of us do not disobey, news people criticize Trump every week and…..THEY ARE ALWAYS WRONG.

So after spending a day listening to them sit at their political round table complaining about Trump’s awful handling of those who cheat America every day….and this morning guess what? Turns out Japan and China both agreed to come back to the table.

The stock market will rise mightily as I write this before the stock market opens.

And Lord how I adore Chuck Todd, Chris Wallace, Jake Tapper…..Steponallofus….they are so smart.

Just ignore that they haven’t been right about a single thing this year.

Heh.

8/28/19

All the congress critters are on vacay. It’s several days before Labor Day, when the unfortunates who live near the beach look forward to the tourists return home.

President trump did go to the G7 conference and that made news for a couple of days.

But the big news of this date is what is called the “Video Music Awards”. It’s an MTV thing and like all the awards shows before, fewer and fewer Americans across the fruity plains awards bother watching. Soon we shall not be watching football either.

But since it’s a low news week, below a list of the winners in a few categories.

Sure they all were snarky about the president, the idiots who really need to shut the hell up and sing. But I’ll not mention their snotty commentary but I will suggest that Taylor Swift should shut up, sweetheart. You are a dumb nitwit and nobody cares about your politics.

PRESIDENT TRUMP CHOOSES NEW LABOR SECRETARY

I don’t know what a Labor Secretary does. Heck, I didn’t even know we HAD a Labor Secretary.

But our new Secretary of Labor is the son of Justice Antonin Scalia. Alexander Acosta had been Labor Secretary but he resigned allegedly due to strange thing that happened in dealing with the sweet and wonderful Jeffery Epstein in a Florida trial.

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

HERE

President Trump on Tuesday officially nominated longtime labor lawyer Eugene Scalia to be secretary of Labor.

Trump said back in July that he planned to tap Scalia, who is the son of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for the post days after Alexander Acosta resigned as Labor secretary.

Scalia served as the top legal officer at the Department of Labor during the George W. Bush administration and previously was a special assistant to Attorney General William Barr during his first stint as the top law enforcement officer under the George H.W. Bush administration.

Scalia, currently a partner at law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, has a career history of representing businesses and fighting to roll back labor regulations. One of his more prominent cases involved representing Walmart as the retail giant fought a Maryland law on employee health care.

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

DOJ SUBMITS THAT THE EQUAL RIGHTS ACT DOES NOT INCLUDE TRANSGENDERS

So the funeral home would not let the guy dress like a woman even though he’s a man.

I mean, come on, Funerals require a certain amount of decorum. To have guests and funeral attendees be greeted by Burt dressed up like Bertha….it’s just not right people.

So they fired the guy, the guy complained (name Aimee Stephens but I bet HIS first name is NOT Aimee) filed a case with the EEOC. The Funeral Home’s decision to fire him was upheld.

But then a federal district court, #6, overturned that decision.

The Department of Justice maintains that the Civil Rights law does not include anything but biological only sexual discrimination as against the law.

I’m not sure if the DOJ has the last word on this or not. Should it go to the Supreme Court?

Interesting.

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

HERE

The DOJ’s brief filed Friday in the R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission case contended it is the role of Congress, not the courts, to amend the law to include gender identity, if it chooses to do so.

Aimee Stephens, a biological man who identifies as a woman, filed a complaint with the EEOC in 2014 for wrongful termination against R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, claiming unlawful discrimination based on sexual identity.

The funeral home dress code has certain requirements in accordance with industry standards for men and women. Nevertheless, the EEOC determined the funeral home discriminated against Stephens by requiring its employee to dress as a man.

A federal district court ruled in the funeral home’s favor in 2016; in March 2018, however, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found Stephens was wrongfully fired.

LESBIAN COUPLE ON “BACHELOR IN PARADISE”

There is a lesbian couple on "Bachelor in Paradise", proof the world has gone to hell in a hand basket. Her name is Demi and she's beautiful. So is her "girlfriend". Anybody thinks lesbians look like those two, I got a bridge to sell cheap.

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

I FOUND MY DISHTOWELS!

This is what happens when age comes upon you. Not that a single person in the reading audience gave helpful suggestions. I tore the bathroom closet apart which is where I keep my towels for the bathroom. I tossed through kitchen drawers which is where I keep my dish towels.

Nothing.

This past week I did my laundry. I don't do the laundry all that much because it's just me. Maybe once a month. I open the washing machine and there in the bottom, completely dry but twisted and tortured as clothes tend to get from the rinse cycle.

Evidently I forgot to take them out of the washing machine as would be the norm.

I almost went out and bought more towels of all kinds as I scratched my head and pondered how someone could lose easily a dozen or more towels.

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

ADVERTISING ON THE INTERNET….PAINFUL

I stupidly visited a web site listing failed reality shows through the years. It was the sort of thing that caught my interest but AH! That’s when they get you.

An advertisement pops up here, one over there, one down here, one up there. Then one pops up right in the middle of the screen a big box advertising, I dunno, adult diapers. Since that box is blocking what you clicked in to see, you click the “X” on that box to get it out of the way. More advertisements pop up all over the screen, these adverts not necessarily blocking your view but surely slowing down your computer mightily.

But once I clicked on the big X on the thing in the middle of my screen another box pops up asking why I do not want to view this advertisement. It’s multiple choice but I DIDN’T CLICK INTO THE SITE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT ADULT DIAPERS BY GOOGLE!!

Even when I chose “I don’t use this product” as my multiple choice answer still the box, now empty with Google’s promise they won’t show it to me again, remained in the middle of the screen.

Meanwhile another ad popped up here, one over there, one on the bottom, one on the top.

Finally I screamed in my agony and vowed not to fall for their horrible click bait anymore.

Yes I know that advertising is a function of business. But you really can go too far.

When TV has advertisement, well now they have ways to bypass commercials on recorded programs. But even if watching live, at least one could go to the bathroom as a commercial airs, maybe catch up on email.

When those online advertisements are slowing down your computer to a crawl there’s nothing you can do but sit and wait. And now they got these sleazy games that you must answer their questions even as you desperately try to get them out of your life.

STAY AWAY FROM CLICK BAIT!!!

HURRICANE DORIAN

Got a couple of news items, some big, some little. As of this writing it is about 48 hours from Hurricane Dorian making landfall. And as of this time it is believed the storm has a good chance of blooming to a force 4 hurricane and will engulf all of Florida.

First, here in America come the first hurricane of the season everyone gets a bit excited. By the end of September it’s almost boredom upon as by then perhaps a dozen hurricanes sprung up and/or struck somewhere across the fruity plains.

But Dorian does sound like a big guy. Floridians are used to hurricanes but I have a few relatives living down that way. They are a bit nervous.

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

STRANGE GOINGS ON AT VA HOSPITAL

An exhumation of a former patient was made and it was determined that he had been injected with insulin when he was NOT a diabetic.

The hospital is in West Virginia and wow is this odd. Up to nine people are alleged to have been murdered while patients at this VA hospital

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

HERE

U.S. senator from West Virginia is vowing to get answers amid reports that at least nine deaths are being investigated as suspicious at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and after an additional death was ruled a homicide.

A story released Friday by WVNews reported that a lawyer for the family of a deceased patient had filed a complaint with the Department of Veterans Affairs, alleging that their relative died after being given an injection of insulin he did not need. The family also alleged that other patients had died under similar circumstances, and that workers at the hospital were aware of the suspicious deaths.

KIRSTIN GILLIBRAND DROPS OUT OF DEM RACE

First of all, she never had a chance of winning. Second….well she’s not the brightest bulb in the lamp. But that’s one down and about a dozen to go.

EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK AFGHANISTAN

I heard on the cable shows that America has been in Afghanistan for 18 years. My ears were a little shocked.

Has it really been that long?

And yet where are we in that godforsaken country? First the Taliban ran things. Then you got ISIS. There is no central or effective government.

President Trump wants to get American troops and equipment out of that hell hole and most of America wishes so too.

We remember Vietnam, many of us out here across the fruity plains. Vietnam was the most horrifically fought war ever. It wasn’t that the USA couldn’t beat them. It’s that, like too many American battles overseas, we do a lousy job.

Afghanistan was attacked by America because it is believed that the Taliban, including Osama Bin Laden, used that country with nothing going for it save growing heroin, to practice attacking the buildings of foreign countries. Like America’s World Trade Center, for example.

And now almost 18 years later we’re still there?

Why?

President Trump, get our troops out of there. Islam does not work well with earthly and orderly government. Keep a crew there to watch what those heathens get up to.

Bring the rest of them home, please.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN HONG KONG?

I admit I do not understand what’s going on in Hong Kong. But I am learning.

Seems that Britain had a lease with China to control Hong Kong for 99 years. Now those 99 years are up and China takes over the reins.

Only the people living in Hong Kong don’t want to be governed by China.

And why would they?

We all remember Tiananmen Square. I remember that scene well, the young man standing in front of the tank. The young man gets run over by the tank.

The Red Chinese people are really awful people. THIS time the Chinese are trying to not have a repeat of Tiananmen Square, or at least keep such things out of the public eye.

Below, the latest on Hong Kong.

COMEY AND O’DONNELL….FINE, FINE FOLKS

So the IG Horowitz delivers a report blasting Comey for his terrible behavior, his lies.

And what does Comey do? With no humility whatsoever the guy puts out a blurb that HE SHOULD BE APOLOGIZED TO.

Dear Lord I despise that man. So does much of America. He is Deep State and tries not to keep it a secret.

Karma is a bitch. Comey got off per the AG Barr but I am patient. Comey’s going to get his due, I know it.

And how about that awful Lawrence O’Donnell? Gets on TV and says that President Trump has loans and co-signers on the loans include Russian Oligarchs.

I don’t think this was an accident. Somebody, maybe Val Jarrett or that crowd, phoned him up and told him to announce it, then apologize the next day.

They want to keep Trump and Russia as a conjoined team and did so with a little help from the fabulously honest MSNBC. Yes O’Donnell apologized the next day but that’s not enough.

The Trumps are fighting back. Fingers crossed that both Comey and O’Donnell meet their Karma.

HERE

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell tried to weasel his way out of reporting fake news about President Trump colluding with Russian oligarchs, by ‘apologizing’ on air Thursday night. However, Eric Trump says it’s too late, and warned O’Donnell that he will face legal action over the slur.

O’Donnell essentially did the bare minimum in an effort to avoid legal consequences, saying “I should not have said it on-air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so.”

“Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn’t ready for reporting. I repeated statements a single source told me about the president’s finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank saying ‘if true’—as I discussed the information – was simply not good enough,” he said.

TIME FOR THE FINAL LAUGH OF THE WEEK

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.

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

I forgot to add the above verbiage to my post above.

So let me add and meanwhile, I ask that you might consider my blurb about the torture of ads at web sites that destroy your sanity.

As such, please consider throwing some bucks into FreeRepublic's fund raiser as, notice...NO ADS!!!

Not to mention it's a fairly well organized site and did I mention it was filled with great people?

The above is from Bernie Rayno a noted meteorologist. Evidently he's not the perfect liberal since few paid much attention to his post. However he did predict that the storm would not plow into Fla. as previously thought but would track more northerly maybe not even hit the coast.All that remains to be seen.But the NHC,nat. hurr. center did change a lot of stuff after Bernies post,was it coincidence, we will never know.
What's important is that he was not one of the sainted sources of NOAA so they ignored his theory that the storm/Dorian(just now a cat 5 decreed by Jim Cantore world meteorologist or renown) was being pushed/steered more by a weak low pressure system in the Fla. straights than the high pressure system touted exclusively by NOAA in it's forecasts.
Later on Rayno was sort of vindicated by others on the thread who were more or less forced to admit that yes he was right the low pressure system did steer the storm and as the low weakened it would do a sort of “hand-off” to the high pressure system which came more into the picture as far as steering currents go and will probably do so tonight as Bernie predicted.
More important is that the powers that be have their chosen sources and will use them whether they are right or wrong which once again leaves it up to using the blogoshpere to determine truth which has little bearing in the driveby world.
And as bray has once again shown global warming is about as far away from truth as you can get yet the drivebys/hard left keep Russisa/Russia global warming until their arguments seem so nebulous that no one buys them any more.

Absolutely! I am so sick and tired of the constant ads that destroy and lock up my browser, overlaying text I’m trying to read, videos that run upon loading a page and blaring at me, etc., etc.

I was trying to show my son yesterday the simplicity of Free Republic’s web design. It truly is superior! He was “meh”, but he is used to crappy pages I guess.

All we have to do here is know how to use a little html.

Remember “Turn the italics off!!!”?

Yeah. I’m (probably needlessly) worried about the Iron Bowl. Auburn is good this year.

Great game!

Excellent stuff once again Fish!Especially on the tariffs. The drivebys want everyone to lose sight of what is actually happening which is that Trump is the first potus to take the world on not only the Chicoms but "the entire world" has been screwing us on tariffs for decades. Enter Trump.He says; "no more" and goes to work asking only for'

Raylan hats are for sale.

That very last show was TV at its absolute best. What an ending.
