"She's choppin' Broccoli!"
I confess you have completely lost me. The original article discussed mentioned sending B-2 bombers to Hawaii recently. I linked to a WaPo article of a year ago with the headline 'Air Force deployed B-2 stealth bombers to Guam as sensitive talks involving North Korea commenced' and you see no Guam connection. I guess we will just leave it at that.

I was going to buy a case until I heard about some stuff Unrepentant VN Vet knows of.
I’ve got an inquiry in now about it.
I have to be careful of taking strong stuff, well, ‘cause you know I’m */2.
You in for halvsies?
I don’t trust him, but he’s doing the right thing even if motivated by self-interest, at least it is the right thing.
Yes, and I am beginning to see that D.C. is dirtier than we could ever imagine - H3ll on earth.

Thanks for additional - May wanted middle ground, or Farage etc wanted middle ground? I would assume Farage wanted a hard exit. Jeez, the people voted a long time ago.
“””Thank you.”””
Welcome.
Reading the anon’s thoughts on those two posts in light of what we know from hindsight. Interesting. Let you know if I see something good.
Ditto.
Good article by Brian Cates (draw and strike on twatter), nothing earth shaking for most of us but very good summary for helping people wake up.
The Real Reason Democrats Won’t Budge on Border Security
https://www.theepochtimes.com/__trashed-438_2767150.html
As the partial government shutdown moves into its fourth week, Democratic leaders in Congress remain steadfast in their decision to not negotiate with President Donald Trump over funding for the border wall.
Last week, when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made it clear to Trump she would not budge from her refusal to even discuss funding for the border fence, Trump got up and walked out of the meeting. On Jan. 15, no Democrat turned up to the White House upon Trump’s invitation to continue negotiations.
So the impasse continues, with neither side budging from their positions. Trump wants $5.7 billion to fund the border wall and Democrats won’t even discuss it.
In fact, the key talking point in the mainstream media (which I often refer to as the “DNC Media Complex”, a term coined by the late great Andrew Breitbart) is that Trump is “manufacturing” a border crisis that doesn’t really exist.
Crime Figures Alone Prove This Is No Manufactured Crisis
Time and again Democrats have put their faces in front of cameras and insisted there’s no real humanitarian crisis at the southern border because Trump is just being a drama queen and pretending there’s a huge problem where there really isn’t one.
This fun new Democrat talking point is 100 percent false. Trump isn’t manufacturing a humanitarian crisis, if anything he’s understating it. Just in Texas alone, the human cost of illegal immigration is astronomical. Take the number of crimes committed in Texas by people who shouldn’t even be in the country.
The Texas Department of Public Safety released these numbers last year:
In a seven year period, spanning from 2011 to 2018, the amount of crime caused in the state by illegals is simply staggering:
“Between June 1, 2011 and December 31, 2018, these 186,000 illegal aliens were charged with more than 292,000 criminal offenses which included arrests for 539 homicide charges; 32,443 assault charges; 5,695 burglary charges; 36,840 drug charges; 395 kidnapping charges; 15,859 theft charges; 23,487 obstructing police charges; 1,650 robbery charges; 3,428 sexual assault charges; 2,152 sexual offense charges; and 2,949 weapon charges.”
Note this awful toll is just Texas. Imagine how staggering the figures would be if other border states such as California and Arizona were added in. If we had adequate control over the southern border, how many thousands of people wouldn’t have been killed or become victims of other serious crimes?
And I won’t even get started on the huge financial drain it is for just the border states to deal with capturing criminal illegal aliens after they commit their serious crimes, putting them on trial, convicting and then incarcerating them.
Our Border System Is Woefully Outdated And Needs Serious Reform
When many of the current border laws and policies were designed and put in place, we didn’t have highly organized criminal cartels in foreign countries using massive resources to create and sustain large trafficking networks to smuggle hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into our country, as well as astronomical amounts of drugs and tons of illegal weapons.
The response must keep pace with the threat. And that hasn’t been the case when it comes to the United State’s southern border. There have only been piecemeal attempts to plug the dike up until now as the cracks keep getting bigger and bigger and the humanitarian cost of the crisis keeps climbing higher and higher.
Despite the desperate efforts of the Democratic Party to hide them, the staggering costs of the immigration crisis can no longer be put off and dealing with the problem cannot be pushed off. They know this. So why are they fighting so desperately to keep real reform at the border from happening?
I’ll tell you why. Because they are in the midst of a multi-decade program to change the demographic makeup of the United States.
A Deliberate Strategy To Change The Electorate
The radicals who took over the Democratic Party in the mid-to-late 1960s have continued over the past decades to take the Democratic Party further and further to the left. They recognized long ago, as their true agenda for the country became evident, that they would begin to lose significant parts of their voting base.
The program the Progressive Left has for America is Marxist and Communist at its heart, something that makes it profoundly un-American. So as they passed one benchmark after another on the road to their goals, they realized many patriotic Americans who were Democrats would leave the party.
Having realized the problem, the party leaders created a strategy that involved replacing the American citizens they’d lose as their real agenda became increasingly apparent with non-citizens who would be allowed to vote.
In case you’re wondering, this is why Democrats also fight any kind of voter fraud reform with the ferocity of wolverines. They aren’t at the stage where they’re willing to come out and openly fight for illegals to vote in our elections, but you know it’s coming.
A key part of their strategy, however, is convincing those White/Hispanic/Black working-class Democrats who are to be replaced with illegals that what they see happening isn’t really happening—that their party is keeping the border open to allow a flood of millions of illegal immigrants into the United States to compete with them for jobs.
That’s what leads to this kind of shameless pandering by Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, when he was talking tough on illegal immigration in 2010. It was all smoke and mirrors to convince that still-key part of the Democratic party base that their leaders were fighting so hard for them, while in reality they were not.
The vast majority of the 400,000 illegals caught at the southern border in fiscal 2018 do not speak English, do not have high school diplomas, and therefore are only going to be able to get the most menial of jobs and many of them will end up on welfare to support themselves while they are here. The more illegal aliens that are allowed into the U.S., the higher the taxes have to go in these border states on the citizens who provide the money to give the illegals that welfare.
This is simply not sustainable. We can’t continue to allow almost half a million impoverished and mostly unemployable people into this country every year.
So instead of manufacturing a crisis as he’s accused of, Trump is actually recognizing one and moving to fix it. And by doing so, he’s ruthlessly exposing an entire political party who fixed its political fortunes on this crisis never being seriously addressed.
Too bad for them.
So true! Donald Trump is exposing the Demonrats as utterly evil, utterly amoral, utterly corrupt, utterly anti-America... and yet they attract voters. Prayer may be our only hope. For sure sooner or later they will come for Christians - and Jews.
You in for halvsies?

You have to ast? Of course!
Is the OMB God? Isn’t there something/someone above them that can say “Oh yes they can indeed be RIFed!”

Never heard of this one. Probably not an accident. /s

Ha! That’d get your day kickstarted.
Four sticks must be about the right number. That dude lived after six sticks but not for long.
I once told bagster I thought he’d probably done everything pleasurable in the world at least twice, and must be into pain now dealing with trolls.
Bagster’s answer: “I fear no pain”.
Props to both of ya hardcore anons!!

Cool post. Thanks for informing the FRQ’s!
On another front:
JAMES BAKER, JDept. attorney, for and under AG Comey, is now a cooperating witness, according to Praying Medic.
MonSewer Baker has been tagged by U.S. Attorney DURHAM of the state of Connecticut for LEAKING, and given an ultimatum to fall through ice, or, cooperate. (Paraphrasing) The man is reportedly “COOPERATING”.
Medic mentions a letter that has been exposed and refers to a closed hearing, led by Meadows and Jim Jordan, wherein Baker’s attorney kept interjecting on behalf of his client to stop a line of questioning, because his client BAKER was under ONGOING criminal investigation.
Praying Medic Twitter, January 15, sends us to his podcast video, and it was loaded with news that was way too easy to miss today, given all that has been happening in the last 24, with the Barr Confirmation Hearing and the Theresa May thread hanging over Brexit, in Great Britain.
China is way behind the USA in military build up.
Barr is a definite good guy, using caution to keep the wild hogs at bay, in a few of his answers today, and a 45 page report is released by the Defense Department on China. All of it is “good news” for one day, anyway. This day.
