I was a young man when Carter was in office. Rather poor, too. And you’re right about the inflation. I forgot about that.

Maybe I pushed it out of my mind because I missed the opportunity to lock in a 30-year bond paying 18% a year. 🤔

George Sr. love to eat at Mabel’s Lobster Claw not far down the road from their little church. Down the road in Cape Porpoise there’s a great little downstairs restaurant (formerly Pier 77), used to be called “The ramp” where he “autographed” the wall.

No, but I have met his sister Doro, who wrote the book mentioned in the article. She was the nicest person, I chatted with her at an event for quite some time, felt like you were chatting with a neighbor at a BBQ.

Perfectly described by real Texans— btw, as:

“All hat and no cattle, cowboy boots with argyle socks” ie. in the South fake as hell Yanqui/Yengees in the Iroquois— the way they used to say the word “English”.

All the same, even the name of their oil company— Zapata. Gave all that away as well as the “china hand” GHWBush who did nothing— nothing to the Chi-Coms for Tianimen Square. The Chi-Com “alliance” goes way back cashing in on Nixon’s opening up— and look what we have now. Buying the US land next to our bases. Has to stop or they’ll have two divisions hiding out in our country.

The Bush Crime Family is every bit as evil as the Clinton Crime Family.

Yup. Good cop/bad cop for decades while they both robbed the treasury.

I remember that adoration.

It was embarrassing. As is the Trump worship today.

The Israelites begged God for a king.

Ok, you don’t get a loving tongue wash like this from the MSM unless there’s bad news coming.

Maybe re: GHWB and the CIA?

I don’t find Bush and Trump comparable. However the doting that happened here during the Bush terms and similar doting now during Trump’s term is evident.

I think one can appreciate that Trump is best man standing to preserve America and western civilization

And disagree when u feel need to

I do that with everyone from victor Davis Hanson to Ben Shapiro and even Benny Johnson or Mike benz

The bush thing here got folks run off permanently by the likes of howlin and sinkspur etc

Anti trumpers here many since 2015 seem to persevere well enough

It took me several tries at reading and thinking about it. The piece is by NBC. I presume they have the “TODAY SHOW” - and I think that Jena Bush Hager shows up on it. And it seems the beginning of the article has Jena as the main character.

So Jena invited Brooke over to the “compound”. Although with Jena’s grandparents now deceased, why would they refer to it as her grandparent’s home?

Nevermind - Brooke must have been there years ago when Bush Sr. was still around.

Really? You would have wanted to see World War 3 be the Muslim world vs. the Western world?

Might be the end result after all is said and done, or buy stock in rugs.
