I have kept from saying it but anyone that knows who 41 really is would stay away from her funeral without question.
A comment or two on the Auto industry.
Americans are buying SUVs and this is causing GM to lay off 1500 workers making cars in the U.S. The GM Mexican plant making the same cars is not laying off personnel BECAUSE of the lower labor costs in Mexico.
The Cost of the average SUV is north of $30,000 - That is a ton of money. With the current Six / Seven year loan on the average car, two things happen, most people cannot upgrade their cars as often and more importantly the MARGINAL barrower is experiencing repayment issues. Any hickup in their income and they fall behind on their car payments.
The most recent commentary on Auto sales new and used appear to indicate that the quantity of relatively new LEASED cars are starting to flood the used car marked. Since monthly Lease payments are lower than Loans many people overbuy what they can really afford .
This large supply of relatively new used cars on the used car market is causing prices to drop AND there are limited buyers even at these lower prices.
Later this year we may very well see more Auto Co. layoffs
I heard on Fox, I believe it was, that Barbara was working on her funeral, tweaking it, up until the last days of her life. I think she said to W “you got to be president, let Jeb give the eulogy.” I imagine her fantasizing that Jeb would have this chance to be in the spotlight and that the country would say “we should have gone with Jeb.” Uh no. I never really cared much for Barbara because of her stance on abortion and attacks on Sarah Palin. It’s obvious that the family didn’t necessarily care about the state of the country. Establishment to the core. However, I do hope Barbara has reunited with her daughter, Robin.
Ass age?
Those were the Obama years! LOL!
You meant Wikileak’s Assange, no?
Witness bacon now in 1/3,1/2 and 3/4 lb. packaging for crazy prices or little fart cars for even more crazy prices. If you want a real truck plunk down 60k or more. An entire lb. of bacon for ten bucks. My fav. OJ now is almost 7 bucks.And we grow oranges here!! We are suckers for buying the higher priced marketing wonders.
Corker on abc with stuffy now showing what a true idiot he really is.
Whoops! That was the “Best of” linmk.

I knew the report was a pretext for something when Obama said it had to be on his desk prior to leaving office. It was used as a cover up for the entire Russian investigation into the Trump campaign, which the FBI began in July 2016 based on the Steele dossier, the Papadopoulos nonsense aside. It was also used to justify the monitoring of the Trump transition team and subsequent leaks when he took office. This was the fig leaf providing the rationale for the unmaskings and leaking.
This is the text of the January 6, 2017 report that was signed off by Clapper. It was drafted and coordinated by the CIA, FBO, and NSA. One of the findings was:
We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.
Notice that NSA (Mike Rogers) did not go along totally with the finding. I wonder how much Strzok contributed to the report.
Iran plays heavily into this of course. They state of al of the Mideast is at stake.
I can guess that this comment is from simple frustration.
These shows are not for the Trump supporters, except to frustrate them.
These shows are for the rest of the departments in the Ministry of Truth, so their mouthpieces in the local communities can keep up the barrage of lies and keep the local population under control
Most of the hosts on Fox Business allow their guests to speak without interruption. The only one I can think of is Neil Cavuto. And, he talks over guests all of the time. (Faux News training, I guess)
“I understand I’m going to take a lot of crap for speaking the truth about Barbara Bush,” Stone said in an interview with InfoWars host Alex Jones. “She was a mean-spirited, vindictive drunk. She is ascending into hell right now. She’s not going to heaven. She was a bad person.”
Stone also reportedly wrote on Instagram that “Barbara Bush drank so much booze, if they cremated her … her body would burn for three days.”
Stone was slated to be the keynote speaker for the group’s Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner on May 12, but chairman Mark Franks said that in light of his comments, he “ended our contract” with Stone.
Got a church story to tell. There’s kind of a connection to this subject.
My friend Diane Feinstein, not particularly political, regretted missing Barb Bush’s funeral. I mentioned that she chose her procession song, which was “Joyful, Joyful”. So we both, on the way to Saturday mass, sang the song. We are both singers, of sorts, although Diane Feinstein is an accomplished soloist, once star of musicals up in Wilmington. I can carry a tune with the help of a bucket.
So we get to church and sit in our normal spot. There was room for one more person, so a young man comes up and indicates he would like to sit in the pew. Diane Feinstein exits the pew as I sit and he climbs over me.
To our surprise, the opening song was “Joyful, Joyful”!!
Another pretty song they sang yesterday, that I love, was “Jerusalem”.
So the entrance song begins and when Diane Feinstein and I sit together the whole church hears us. She is an accomplished soprano while I, ahem, sing a great alto.
But as the song began my knees buckled. I don’t know who this guy was next to us but he began to song and he made Robert Goulet sound out of tune.
His voice was loud, deep.....he outsang the entire church. The smile here is that Catholics are notorious for not singing like the protestants but once that guy started singing, don’t you know me and Diane Feinstein joined right in.
There we were, me singing alto....and I don’t sound half bad when motivated. There was friend Diane Feinstein singing louder than I ever heard and goodness, Robert Goulet to my right was inspired and he outsang the entire church.
Heh.
We did that for the entire mass. I could see people pointing to us, mostly the young man as he was kind of new. Me and Diane Feinstein already have a reputation and yes, we have people who go to great lengths to sit near us. Now, with Robert Goulet and poor me stuck in the middle of Goulet and Feinstein....we could have sang at Barbara Bush’s funeral.
After mass, upon exit from the church’s side door, there was a man with a sign “PLEASE HELP BY GIVING US MONEY!” his sign said. He had a little boy with him who had a bag of groceries.
There was a Knights of Columbus spaghetti dinner that night and best I can figure this guy snuck in. Nobody was giving the guy money because what a sort of shock this was.
Weird to exit church and find some guy, who I think was fake, fake, fake, begging for money, with a child as a prop.
I’ve also heard for the first time, adverts plugging “new” loaner vehicles.....those used while your car is being serviced. like new for very cheap....clearly an over supply and lack of expendable capital. We should soon see that improving, yes ?
It is truly amazing how large crowd psychology works. But it does work and the majority of the people everywhere are just that, lazy and stupid.
For some interesting examples - The French revolution, Lenin's take over of Russia, Mussolini's socialist elections in Italy are some of the more recent examples
All I can say (grrrr) is SO WHAT?
Didn't Obama do the SAME in Israel vis-à-vis Bibi?
Didn't MEXICO, Vincente Fox, Enrique Peña Nieto, and all the rest do the SAME to Trump?
This selective outrage, on the part of our supposedly NON-POLTICAL intelligence agencies, is an absolute outrage and in fact, a Constitutional crisis if I ever saw one.
Unless this is prosecuted and disavowed from ever happening again, this country has suffered a mortal blow, I kid you not.
