Yes it does make my blood boil.
“They can slander away all they want it is not going to sway us.”
You tell them, sister!
PS we expected thiscrap
So sad to see our country turn into a third world hellhole.
“We are just waiting for Jim Cramer to tell us it is a “strong bank” before we call this one as finished.”
Too funny!
I spent the evening looking for kittens. Three of them had fallen asleep under the couch during their big outing. I’ll have to figure out something better for tomorrow night so I don’t have to stay up all night wondering where they are. It’s kind of like having teenagers
They’re probably right.
Remember the scene in Doctor zhivago when he came home and in his house he was allowed only 1 room?
“I don’t know what we are going to do with all these illegals.”
I’m so glad I’m not in CA.
But they will bused and flown all over. And Gov Lee isn’t man enough to say. No
“Remember the scene in Doctor zhivago when he came home and in his house he was allowed only 1 room”
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking of!!
Praying for our country.
“It’s 10 pm. Do you know where your kittens are?”
Good morning, lysie!
Yummy, I just love mushrooms!
Thanks for breakfast.
Good morning, lysie!
This is eggs-actly what I needed this morning!
Thank you!
That’s a good one.
Good morning, exit!

STATEMENT OF MARK PAOLETTA, FRIEND OF JUSTICE THOMAS
The Thomases have rarely spoken publicly about the remarkably generous efforts to help a child in need. They have always respected the privacy of this young man and his family. It is disappointing and painful, but unsurprising that some journalists and critics cannot do the same.
The Thomases—quietly and honorably—devoted twelve years of their lives to helping a beloved child in desperate need of love, support, and guidance. In 1997, Justice Thomas and his wife brought their great nephew to live with them. They agreed to take in this young child much as Justice Thomas’s grandparents had done for him and his brother in 1955. Justice Thomas’s grandparents changed the trajectory of his life, and the Thomases hoped to do the same for a child in need.
Justice Thomas and his wife made immeasurable personal and financial sacrifices and poured every ounce of their lives and hearts into giving their great nephew a chance to succeed. In the summer of 2006, the Thomases were struggling to find a school where they could send their great nephew. In discussing these challenges with their dear friends, Harlan and Kathy Crow, Harlan recommended that the Thomases consider one more option: sending their great nephew to Randolph Macon Academy. Harlan had attended Randolph Macon, and he thought the school would be a good fit.
Harlan had financially supported Randolph Macon since the 1980s, and funded scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Harlan offered to pay the first year of Justice Thomas’s great nephew’s tuition in 2006, and that payment went directly to the school. Harlan Crow’s Office confirmed that he did not pay the great nephew’s tuition for any other year at Randolph Macon.
After some time, Randolph Macon recommended the great nephew attend a boarding school in Georgia for one year. Harlan offered to pay the first year of tuition for their great nephew at the Georgia school, and again, those tuition payments went directly to the school.
By the next school year (2009), the Thomases’ great nephew returned to Randolph Macon. He moved back to Savannah in December 2009, after he turned 18. The Thomases love their great nephew. It is despicable that the press has dragged him into their effort to smear Justice Thomas.
This story is another attempt to manufacture a scandal about Justice Thomas. But let’s be clear about what is supposedly scandalous now: Justice Thomas and his wife devoted twelve years of their lives to taking in and caring for a beloved child—who was not their own—just as Justice Thomas’s grandparents had done for him. They made many personal and financial sacrifices to do this. And along the way, their friends joined them in doing everything possible to give this child a future.
Harlan Crow’s tuition payments made directly to these schools on behalf of Justice Thomas’s great nephew did not constitute a reportable gift. Justice Thomas was not required to disclose the tuition payments made directly to Randolph Macon and the Georgia school on behalf of his great nephew because the definition of a “dependent child” under the Ethics in Government Act (5 U.S.C. 13101 (2)) does not include a “great nephew.” It is limited to a “son, daughter, stepson or stepdaughter.” Justice Thomas never asked Harlan Crow to pay for his great nephew’s tuition. And neither Harlan Crow, nor his company, had any business before the Supreme Court.
This malicious story shows nothing except for the fact that the Thomases and the Crows are kind, generous, and loving people who tried to help this young man.

Chris Wray and the corrupt FBI officials who covered up for Hunter and Joe Biden should have to pay for the damage done to America. Indict the whole damn bunch.

Even in cases where clear lawful force is mustered against an obvious criminal threat, liberals loathe good samaritans like the New York subway man.
Jordan Neely had dozens of prior arrests. There are unproven but believable claims he tried to push at least one person onto the subway tracks. This was a dangerous man who New York authorities allowed to roam around at will until he inevitably hurt or killed someone. A good Samaritan stepped in to protect the public, so prosecutors and the press and Antifa are going to ruin his life — and maybe ruin a few small businesses along the way, just for fun.
The left says that they don’t want more robberies, rapes, and mayhem. They say they’re simply concerned about vigilantes taking the law into their own hands. They’re lying.
The truth is, the left doesn’t want you defending yourself — let alone defending others — from chaos and violence. They don’t want good samaritans doing it, and they especially don’t want police performing the public service your tax dollars ought to buy.
A healthy society produces dozens of people like Kyle Rittenhouse or the Subway Guy — men who care about their neighbors, and want to keep them safe. But a healthy society doesn’t NEED men like this most days. That’s because healthy societies care whether the subways are full of violent psychos, and dispatches cops there to redress them. A healthy society puts the criminally insane in hospitals or in prisons. It doesn’t set them loose underground.
Liberals used to pretend they wanted America to be like Scandinavia — with more public services and nicer public goods. That’s their excuse for stealing half your livelihood in taxes.
The truth is, they don’t want any public goods to exist. No safe parks. No competent schools. No clean, efficient trains. When they pretend otherwise, it’s one of those lies so obvious, it reveals only contempt.
They take your money because they can, and because it’s dangerous for them if you to accumulate too much of anything. Too much cash. Too much agency. Too much free speech. They want you powerless. The subway predator does, too. In that sense, pro-crime elites and their criminal pets are exactly the same.
