Morning AB, All.

As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably.

Couple of items this week might make you smile.

Oh, and thanks Bray for weekly wisdom and yon commenters for fleshing it all out for me.

Let us begin by announcing, proudly, my claim to fame as regards the olympics and that is I ONCE DATED MICHAEL PHELPS’ FATHER!

Okay, I didn’t exactly “date” him. But I was in high school with him in Towson, Maryland. I knew him but barely. Still, many years ago when Michael Phelps arose in the Olympic scene I initially thought it was Michael Phelps my classmate and, of course, I was amazed. Goodness, I thought, how on earth did one so old get into the olympics. At the time I think I was in my 50’s when I first noted Michael Phelps but I didn’t know it was my classmate Michael Phelps’ SON.

Or something.

Anyway, my questionable Olympic claim to fame.

Next….guess what I did last week? Yes I did. I JOINED A GYM!!!

It was meant to be folks. I do exercise every morning, walking circles around my yard for almost a mile. But these legs of mine, with my sludge for blood, are losing blood flow and I figure I am young enough now to do those exercises.

This Friday I will be joining a Zumba class! DANCING! Lord I was meant to dance!

And my health insurance, a Medicare Advantage Plan which Obama let Delaware and Florida keep despite Obamacare cause we are filled with old people. Cigna it is and they paid for every penny of my gym membership, even my dance classes!

Man I got on that bicycle and with my playlist going on I was one happy guy! I also did upper torso exercises for no mind the legs, the upper half of my body is strong and healthy.

Finally I went to mass yesterday and this morning I read the Pastor’s Pen.

Wow. Seems Father Thomas Flowers, pastor of a church on TULIP drive, has issues with the pope. Oh, and homosexuals. Let me post a few excerpts

“Natural law is the basis for almost all standard moral intuitions. Original Sin predi8sposes us to lie, to steal, to be selfish, even to hate, but the predisposition never justifies giving in to the temptation. Nature teaches us what ought to be. The natural sexual partner for a human being is a person of the opposite sex. Therefore, homosexual coupling is sinful”

He began this missive with a sharp but kind slap at Pope Francis, a pope WHO DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME PEOPLE, JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT!

I happen to know that Father Tom has issues with the pope. Trust me, I know this.

He goes on to warn us that we must love and treat homosexuals with respect because, well he’s got to say that number one, but number two, who treats homosexuals badly? Sure, there are rude and rubes everywhere but most homosexual deaths last year was caused by some nutball Muslim.

But here’s the big surprise, bearing in mind that my church sits solidly in one of the largest homosexual communities on the east coast, Rehoboth Beach, look it up. In fact, that so-called “Conservative Writer”, David Brooks, lives smack dab in the middle of Rehoboth Beach.

“At the request of some parishionsers, at 6:30 pm on the 4th Wed. of each month, we are going to meet under the auspices of COURAGE, a Catholic organization who encourages and assists homosexuals to live a chaste and holy life. There is a strong preference that a priest always be present, so I am making this commitment.”

Wow. Well I just don’t know what the hell to think.

But I will tell you all this if you don’t tell nobody. Father Tom is a heterosexual.

Don’t ask me how I know this but you can smile.

Anyway….will begin talking about politics and the Sunday Talk Shows because I am a political junkee and not necessarily proud of it.

Anyone searching for answers to almost anything from how did Isis start to the most intricate details of Benghazi needs to read what is here.

Ha! I joined a gym this week, too.

Too hot in Alabama this time of year to walk/run outside. Plus, mosquitos and chiggers have been eating me alive.

So my little town had one of the last old-style Wal-Marts around, but now they just opened a new Super Center; groceries and department store goods in one building, so they closed the old Wal-Mart.

However, this forced the local Winn-Dixie, which was part of the plaza the old Wal-Mart was in, to close. Couldn’t compete with Wal-Mart’s prices. I’m not upset, because basically it’s the same stuff, just cheaper. A lot of folks complain about Wal-Mart doing this, but my wallet just likes paying less for the SAME thing (e.g, Del Monte canned corn, Winn-Dixie 88 cents, Wal-Mart 72 cents).

Anyway, now the Winn-Dixie is being made into a Tractor Supply Company, and the old Wal-Mart is an air conditioned gym. So I joined the gym, and can’t wait to buy stuff I need from the Tractor Supply.

Life is good.

The ONLY story of the day is “Trump exhausted, campaign imploding as his poll numbers plunge.”

Nothing “overwhelming” in the least.

US Weapons Now in Hands of ISIS (From September 08, 2014 )


Hillary Clinton Got Wealthy By Arming ISIS Militants
Assange told Democracy Now that Clinton was director of French company Lafarge
whilst simultaneously serving her term as Secretary of State.
Lafarge attempted to topple President Assad by arming ISIS
and supporting their efforts in destabilizing the country.
Daily Pakistan reports: “Hillary’s hacked emails include info
on Hillary arming the rebels in Syria – which ultimately
became the Islamic State militant group ,” he went on to say while responding to a query.


Lafarge also has close ties to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Apart from being a regular donor to the Clinton Foundation,
Clinton herself was a director of Lafarge in the early 1990s,
and did legal work for the firm in the 1980s.
During her connection to Lafarge, the firm was implicated
in facilitating a CIA-backed covert arms export network to Saddam Hussein.
An investigative report by the French daily Le Monde
revealed in June that the corporation, the world’s leader in construction materials,
had paid taxes to ISIS middlemen, as well as other armed groups in Syria,
to protect its cement business operations in the country.
But the Le Monde story only covered a fraction of the revelations.
Previous investigations by Zaman al-Wasl, an independent news outlet
run by elements of the Syrian opposition, revealed that Lafarge
had even regularly bought oil from Isis.



“Then just before her husband, Bill Clinton, was elected president in 1992,
Lafarge was fined $1.8 million by the Environmental Protection Agency
for these pollution violations. Hillary Clinton had left the board of Lafarge
in spring, just after her husband won the Democrat nomination.
A year later, under Bill’s presidency, the Clinton administration reduced
Lafarge’s EPA fine to less than $600,000.”

Simply brilliant and a well organized display of what has been coming at us now for years.It has dramatically accelerated over the reign of the thugocracy since they are base criminals and act out as such.

There is one interviening issue that can be used to oppose these criminal types which I lean on as a useful tool that pretty much always works.

The left has nothing they can use to persuade logical people with. So they employ the LIE.

They lie about almost everything.

Deciphering their lies often leads one to truth which is their solemn enemy and they run from it like drac runs from daylight.

Search out the lie hit them with the truth and you can beat them almost 90% of the time.

This morning, there seems to be an attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and Pence over releasing tax returns.

Chris Wallace is bashing Trump right now.

I did hear him pretty much trash him on Fox & Friends. The media, and I mean the whole media, including Faux News, is circling the wagons.

Do Collins is saying we can vote for Trump and not vote for any RINOs on the ticket. Thanks for freeing us from voting for people we don’t agree with Sen Collins.

Chris is outraged that Trump would say Hillary is a co-founder of ISIS. He thinks it is outrageous to call her or Barack Hussain out.

Now he is outraged that he is too reckless to be President. We can’t trust him to be Commander and Chief.

Now Chris is saying Trump gives himself a tax cut. He really likes Hillary’s tax plan and hates Trump’s.

Now the old 2/3 of tax cuts go to the wealthy and that is not just.

Face the Nation loaded up with nothing but Trump bashers, mostly former RINO Bushies that’ll tell you how bad Trump is for national security. Globalist/cheap labor Republicans for Clinton.

Are you the cleanup crew for that piece of crap Trump?

Are you going to stop Trump from banning the press?

Why don’t you hate Trump as much as I do? Do you ever shake your head?
