They have been refurbishing GITMO, maybe they are adding on, and I just thought they were redecorating in Hitlery’s favorite colors.
Obummers cell has an ethnic African motif I’ve been told.
Food and a visit, doesn’t get any better!
When doctors finally get it..that’s good! It certainly has helped me through the years. Knowing ones body is important. See you later.
Have you tried the chili with chocolate powder in it? I’m going to try it the next time I make chili. I wonder if its good in sloppys too?
I’m reminded of all this today as we debate the notion of a Deep State here in America, in the light of the Republic congressional memo issued Friday that accuses the FBI and Justice Department of abusing their powers to spy on a Trump campaign adviser. This ties into the ongoing discussion around establishment resistance to Donald Trump’s candidacy and presidency.
Since moving to the U.S. in 2012 and immersing myself in American politics, I have now spoken to enough people with experience of government here to know that the problem of an entrenched permanent bureaucracy – with its own agenda, determined to thwart the aims of elected politicians – is if anything an even bigger problem here than the one Tony Blair warned me about in Britain.
But it’s only recently that this has come to the attention of American citizens. In large part this is due to the cozy, insular world of the Washington swamp. When the politicians, the bureaucrats, the lobbyists, the journalists, the think tank leaders and the donors all live in the same swanky neighborhoods, all go to the same dinner parties and all send their children to the same schools, a culture of arrogance and insularity inevitably follows.
These swamp dwellers are invested in keeping their power and influence, and that depends on not rocking the boat. Don’t ask too many questions. Don’t dig too deep. Keep the show on the road. That’s why the swamp is up in arms about the idea that anyone should question the FBI or the Justice Department – it’s simply not done.
Well, all that changed with the election of President Trump. An outsider stormed the barricades, eager to disrupt the snooty, self-serving world of our ruling elite, with the public cheering him on. No wonder they swamp dwellers resist him. No wonder they want to crush him. He represents a mortal threat to their interests and their way of life.
Of course, they dress up their resistance in high-minded rhetoric about protecting the Constitution. But in reality, it is the ruling elite that is undermining democratic norms, by subverting the core of our democratic process: the idea that we the people should be in charge, through the representatives we elect.
The Deep State has a different idea: not “We the People” but “You the People, ruled by We the Elite.”
Amazing insightful article...Please read the entire article.
He is one of God’s children, and in so much, I pray for his soul.
And I don’t wish brain cancer on anyone encluding McPain.
What he has done, in both his personal and public life since, has been just as bad.
Look at his treatment compared to other veterans. “It ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate son”.
Thx for link, I printed and signed up, lots of good food recipes there.
Think I’ll make this for Valentine’s Day, hubby is a chocoholic.

Lois Learner’s could be wallpapered with the IRS tax code.
Oh ... I want the Trump teddy bear!! :)
You’ve hit on something there NIKK. May be a whole lot of eye rolling by those who don’t frequent here.
There is a feeling, that most of us that come here daily have, it is a nice safe place to talk about anything and everything we want to but mostly our dear President.
And without snark and condemnation.
May be off putting to others who don’t understand.
We welcome all who want to join in.
Just my 2 cents.
That is so true. The bureaucrats believe they run the country, and that the politicians that the people elect are just temporary.
Nice, make her feel right at home, you mean the old code that we don’t need anymore as Trump tore it up, right?
Best wishes to the Republic of Korea on hosting the @Olympics! What a wonderful opportunity to show everyone that you are a truly GREAT NATION!
