Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Thank you! I heard American Pie on the classic rock staqion early this AM. The whisky and rye sound pretty good...
Rush is probably right, but I’m sure they could be bussed back by la migra-at least if Texas, New Mexico (maybe) and Arizona were free to enforce immigration laws without interference from vote-seeking liberal officials, the illegals would all flood into Lalaland Cali instead of preying on the economies of the other border states...
I would have been overcome with delight-incredible that the same HS that produced a comic genius like Meglin could have produced those other asshats...

My outing did not lift my spirits. I am so depressed I could not even read your poem. Seriously, how long will this last?
Thanks T5. I heard from xshub and his dad’s eyes are open and he did respond today. it has been a rollercoaster with a crisis every few days. God will know when it’s his time.
As the old saying goes, if God doesn’t turn their hearts at least He can turn their ankles so we can recognize them.
I didn’t know you were Irish. ;)
I wasn’t cheered by my morning hike, either-and I was even using the hike as recon for going Galt plan B...
Unless a Watergate class scandal results from Bengazi, things may not improve until the mid-terms-when, hopefully enough sane individuals will kick ass and take names...
I’m glad to hear that he is better, at least for niow.
Aye. My dad was 100% Irish blood.
We’d have to build walls around all the major cities. It’s not as simple as a north/south split.
I am somewhat cheered by the observation that Obama’s worshippers have a short attention span and no real concept of gratitude. They start getting ugly and savage the hand that feeds them as soon as the bread and circuses start running thin-and with fewer and fewer of us making enough to even pay taxes, it isn’t going to take long for the well to go dry this time.
I want to see the elites have to empty their own precious wallets to try to save their fiction as being for the “little people”. Of course, I’ll bet a lot of them will have sent their money abroad pretty soon...
Well, you’d have to give people a choice of where to live, after you send all the current illegals out-but that is not such a big deal-stay in the “red” country, there is no more free ride-if you are in need, you go to a private charity/church-that is why they exist, and why we do our Christian duty by donating to them/
Then you’d have to set up borders with the blue states, have border patrol on them, and have to deport our one-time fellow countrymen-too damn bad-if they are liberal lunatics, they’d be better off in California and the rust belt anyway.
BTW, hold old is your FIL and what is wrong? Still praying for him.
90 yo, and his heart valve is bad. Thanks for prayers.
