I’m glad you bought that up Bray.
Yes Biden lost his son but it’s NOT why he won’t run for President. Biden will not get the nod because the man is an awful candidate.
That son story holding him back, it’s all nonsense. Biden would LOVE to run for President and what scenario is more likely?...that the loss of Beau Biden spurs the VP forward to fulfill his son’s last wish, or that his loss is too heavy and will prevent him from running with the verve he needs?
Y’all know ole Joe would be out there feeling everybody up and making stupid gaffes from here to eternity if he had even a shot. The loss of his son is not holding him back.
The loss of the big money people is holding him back.
And while Joe might beat out the beaten Hillary for the Democratic nod, seriously....this man could NEVER win the presidency up against, say, a Ben Carson, a Ted Cruz....and Donald Trump would have a holiday.
Ha…someone told Obambi about the "Blue Zones" where people have exceptional longevity.
He wants to make "Blue Zones" all over America.
I guess when he makes America like Venezuela /North Korea we all be living without electricity….making acorn flour…harvesting weeds and bark
Blue zone people:
1. Eat Mediterranean style diet.
2. low stress living
3. Extended families
4. Go to church
5. The old boys are still working….stonemason…carpenter…bee-keeper….fidherman….goat-herder….cheese-maker.
Original thread here:….http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3333195/posts
Well, since we got to the second page....here’s the rest of my 9-11 story and the attack of the ponytailed man and his pit bull wife.
HE is a member of our church finance council and last week I told the story of our church organ on this thread dated last Sunday. His name is Joe Blow and up until this Friday I always considered him a friend. Now he was NOT for purchasing that church organ but I add this tidbit because I think my friend Joe Blow was mad at me for that little fiscal victory but come on folks, our damn organ was broke, we have the money, and most important, Father Tom wanted the organ. If Father Tom was not in favor of purchasing that organ, all of my cuteness and coyness would not have meant a thing. Nonetheless I am somehow viewed as the victor of obtaining our new over a 100K organ, a perspective I rather like what with all the hugs, loves and thanks you. I’ll not lie to you, I got an ego.
It is not the purpose of the Finance council to tell the pastor how to spend money but more to add an approval stamp and/or disapproval. I have been on the Finance council for ten years now folks and know my way around, go to hell.
Now I’m not saying that my wrongly perceived Finance council victory made Joe Blow mad but let me tell you how I have to fight this guy’s roaming hands at every Sussex GOP meeting (yeah, he’s on the Sussex GOP AND is a member of my church) and struggle to get away from his monopolizing me from speaking to anyone else before the meeting’s start. For a smile, know that he is a very handsome man, sporting a gray ponytail, and wears pink pants.
Well I just don’t know but he does like the ladies, yes he does.
Heh.
So Joe Blow’s wife, Jane Blow, is known far and wide as the nastiest woman on the planet. Thus there’s Joe, the handsome elder lover boy, and Jane, his pit bull wife sent to drive off the infidels. Yes I knew about Jane Blow but her little stunt this past Friday was not amusing.
I am standing, with Diane Feinstein, around our new flag pole as Father Tom sang the star spangled banner (Father Tom is a wonderful singer, did I tell you?) and Jane Blow, along with the pony-tailed, pink-pants-wearing husband, Joe Blow, walk over to me. Jane gets right up in my face, I’m telling you folks I watched her approaching me and was smiling at first, but as she got closer and closer and closer, well I was scared for my life almost.
“I want you to know that I did not appreciate you getting on the radio yesterday and calling MY priest a “Tea Party” priest.”
Now about that radio show. Yes Sussex county has two local talk radio stations, TWO of them cause one was not enough, and they are very important to the daily stuff of Sussex county life. My own representative, name is Steve Smyk and he is also a member of my church, St. Jude the Apostle, comes on one of these talk shows every Wednesday and just to show you my relationship with Steve….well hey, he’s a friend and recently asked me if he was overdoing it with the weekly talk show. I assured him it was fine and what with this new Father Tom at our church and all I phoned up the station, hoping that I could make Steve look good….or at least have someone calling him. Or something.
“I want to speak to my Representative Steve Smyk,” I said, on the air. Steve laughed, all this is on the air folks, and asked me what I wanted. I did not give my name but most people know who I am, what with my daughter and her famous radio rant….but that was the other radio station, who I am not speaking to ever again. I asked Steve if he knew about our new Pastor , Father Tom, who is known as “The Tea Party” priest. Steve laughed and told me that he was at a constituent meeting and it was mentioned. I laughed and told him that he had to start coming to mass, if he can find a parking spot. Steve said he heard that the church was getting packed because of the new Pastor.
All this was on the air, with the show’s host very quiet and letting us talk. I then speculated, as it was a political talk show after all, as to who in the local GOP might run for Governor. I mentioned one lady I liked, Rep of another district. Then I asked Steve why doesn’t he run for Governor. Still we are on the air.
“Aw, Pat,” he said, heh and recall that I did not mention my name, “I’ll tell you what, I will run for Governor if you are my campaign manager.”
Heh.
Just a nice exchange, not at all offensive and I do really like Steve although we’ve had our differences….once I had him put on a “Wall of Shame” that another Blogger maintained. He voted for some stupid gun control thing that made me mad and do not forget I am a famous Blogger, read by three, maybe four people, every day.
So Jane Blow, speaking for herself and Joe Blow, the gray-haired ponytailed guy with the red pants with roaming hands (I mean does that woman have any idea what a lover boy she’s married to?)….man, she did not like me calling HER priest a Tea Party Priest.
Is this against some kind of law or something? Couldn’t she too have called in and railed against that appellation? Did she ever hear of this thing called freedom of speech?
Well I think these two are a pair of nut jobs, never leading anything, just raising hell all over the place and I must suppose I am now on their shit list.
Oh, I did get a chance to relate this exchange to Father Tom at the Parish Life center reception, where he sat at my table by the way. So he knows he’s called the “Tea Party” priest and he chuckled. He’s not terribly familiar with the Blow couple as he is a new Pastor but hey, I will fill him in.
In due course.
Brilliant as usual.
the Democratic Party has become so corruption it no longer deserves to be a political party in the u.s.a.
prime example is the fiasco of the iran agreement. Obama went totally around Congress made the deal with the UN totally illegal for a treaty and then was still able to sell it to his pathetic party with an astonishing 41 traitorous vote potential if there were a vote.
Dems have sold out the country.
Thanks ab.we scored offshore .we Cut king fish yellow a snapper vermilion snapper black grouper up to 10 pounds and had a great time will be eating those fish tonight at a local restaurant. Missed freeing however.
Absolutely right bray. when the video that ab posted for me earlier makes the rounds it’s going to show people that Trump has been saying the same thing for at least 25 years. that validates his candidacy in a big way.
his interview with Oprah was from 1990 and back then he was saying that we were getting screwed by the Russians the Chinese and the Japanese you staying the same thing today no changes there have a movie right brain with the video that maybe posted for me earlier makes the browns it’s going to show people the trump has been saying the same thing for the least 25 years that validate is candace see in a big way his interview with no pro was from 1990 and back then he was saying that we were getting screwed by the russians the chinese in the japanese. hes saying the same thing today no changes there.
Brilliant post bud I totally agree.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Republican presidential candidates Ben Carson; Donald Trump.
Trump clarified ‘why’ he thought CEO pay was too much, being that many CEO’s put their friends on the boards who approve of higher compensations, though he also rightfully explained there is little to be done about it in a Capitalist economy except expect people to do the right thing.
And Carson sounds passive after his going after Trump’s beliefs. He should focus on National Security and the Economic issues, it’s going to be a challenge for such a soft spoken man to compete with Trump being so bold.
(Where are all our reporters? Garage sale.)
Yep, TARP and the Democrat’s Stimulus failure should be 2 great issues for a candidate to address providing they are well informed to refute media/Democrats exertions they ‘saved’ the economy. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs never got off the ground, but sure got repeated
Klobuchar “This bill is about jobs, jobs, and jobs.”
Klobuchar “This is President Obama’s plan — jobs, jobs, jobs.”
Klobuchar “Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to support this important legislation. It’s about jobs, jobs, and jobs.”
Obama “Our plan will likely save or create three to four million jobs, Ninety percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector – the remaining 10 percent are mainly public sector jobs we save, like the teachers, police officers, firefighters and others who provide vital services in our communities.”
Speaker Pelosi. Good afternoon. We just had a very instructive meeting with some leading economists about the number one subject on the minds of the American people: jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Walz’s(D-Mn) This legislation will create and save 3 to 4 million jobs, rebuilding America, making us more globally competitive and energy independent, and transforming our economy for long-term growth; give 95% of American workers an immediate tax cut; and invest quickly in the economy – with 75% spent in the first 18 months. What’s exciting is that southern Minnesotans can benefit greatly from this strategy. Experts say more than 90 percent of the jobs created will be in the private sector.”
One big con-job.
‘Swept under the rug is what happened. I believe it was Paulson, Bush’s Treasury Secretary, who told congress if the didn’t vote for the $900 billion bailout to rescue the economy, by Monday there would be no economy to rescue?
I think he was blackmailed. Something happened that week that we’ll never fully know.’
Yes, it was all very strange and never any explanation.
Oh, there is an explanation. It's just not one everybody expects or wants...
Carly was on Howie Carr WRKO.. BOS on Friday PM.
She had her “big Girl” pants on.
As
women, we are not “special”
We all need to put our big girl pants on.
Getting tired of double standards.
