Linda indignant, throwing a hissy fit; saying nobody has been listening to her and Senator McPain for the last three years.
??????? Linda? Linda WHO? And up on what? Give us a clue.
I would love to place a milk carton with with Laura Ingraham’s pic on it at the This Week set.
Heh.
I told her about your fandom and she was so grateful.
Lord I hope Kevin Wade is elected but don’t forget he ran several times before.
He’s a great candidate but Delaware is just too blue.
However.....Fay is my buddy....I love her dearly. We both write on the Delaware site, two very different methods of writing but we respect each other.
I once took Kevin Wade around my church and introduced him to everybody, even my curmudgeon priest.
If he wins, I’m happy. Chris Coons is a boobaloob.
I’m not making any bets.
Grahm...FNS.
Moderator: Hillary in Iowa...a “heavy” favorite
Much has been made of the difference between ISIS and ISIL.
At some point Israel was brought into the fray by being declared part of the Levant.
Personally, I prefer an Israelless ISIL simply because it seems geographically and historically correct. Most importantly ISIL drops the connotation to Syria and Iraq. The new nation state being formed is neither Syria nor Iraq but land along the rivers that is historically neither. It is the fertile crescent of old.
In theory long ago both Israel and Lebanon were considered part of the whole but perhaps not now. I don’t see either being absorbed into the new state.
What I do see is that neither Syria nor Iraq will return to the status quo ante. The Sunni and Kurdish lands are severed from the former countries of which they were forcefully made a part decades ago. Further, I do not foresee a long term situation where the radical wackos rule the newly emerging state.
So Friday night through Saturday afternoon I spent with Kaitlyn and my formerly barbed-wired heart was lifted. Indeed it soared.
Because I have not seen that child for any length of time since early June as her hospital-addicted mother spent 42 of the last 60 days in a loony bin....all fake like Muncheussen syndrome has it.
I discovered that Kaitlyn loved me as much as I loved her. For her whole life, even the 9 years when they lived in Baltimore, I kept her once a month. I planned our activites to include going to musicals, an outdoor Shakespeare play, the Delaware state fair....on and on.
I have never been anything but a great grandmother to her and no mind that her mother-my sympathetic-attention addicted daughter-yells at me for such as not breast-feeding her or going back to work too soon after her birth...Kaitlyn has no reason but to love me with all her heart.
And she does and she missed me.
I was emotionally a wreck, not from sadness. But from happiness....I have not been happy for two months. I’ve been lonely and miserable and taking care of two lonely dogs for those 42 days.
Now she sends me Facebook private message how miserable she is (she is back across the street, WITH abusive husband, so much for Ray Rice-I just do not know what it is about).
But I REFUSE to be unhappy any more.
It’s all up to Melissa, a 37 year old woman addicted to hospitals....they call it, you should smile, “hospital hopper syndrome”...so this is not unknown.
She’s denying it all over the place, of course, but I think the Delaware child people are on to her. After all, it’s what they do and there is a syndrome called Mancheussen syndrome by proxy and that has those people worried.
With THIS syndrome mothers do awful things to their children for their addictive need for sympathy and attention. I do NOT think this is the case with my daughter but you can believe she’s got all kinds of people on to her.
Anyway, I spent many hours hugging and loving Kaitlyn and she loved me back. SHE is the center of my universe. Oh I love daughter dearly but she has to decide her life route. I refuse to be part of that misery for another second.
So for now, I am happy. I have doubts and fears because no, I don’t believe soninlaw is going to turn into a model citizen.
But I wish them the best.
Meanwhile Kaitlyn is playing a trombone (it’s blue plastic?) and is part of her school’s EXCEL program which is no, not a spreadsheet, but some thing for smarter students. She loves her school and she is a great kid.
She has my heart wrapped in barbed-wire.
Fish, last week I told you how the Mayor and City Council was going to spend $160,000 on Light Rail before our measure passes this Tuesday. We stopped the spending and our measure should pass handily on Tuesday. We started an email campaign and filled the hall and spoke about them taking our vote away.
I will let you know what the vote will be, but our tactics have taken the liberal establishment to the point of no opposition on this campaign. No signs, no media, no fake groups being funded by big Labor. It was amazing.
The idea that we can hunker down here and hope that the radical Islamic threat will not affect us is dangerous and ill-informed. We are not just battling ISIS, but the entire global threat that has spread to Asia and Africa.
Jan Karski, the famous Polish hero in WWII who met with FDR to describe his firsthand knowledge of the Nazi concentration camps and the Holocaust, and who moved to the US and taught at Georgetown (I had one of his classes), said the following:
Democratic societies demonstrated on this occasion as on many others, before and after, that they are incapable of understanding political regimes of a different character….Democratic societies are accustomed to think in liberal, pragmatic categories; conflicts are believed to be based on misunderstandings and can be solved with a minimum of good will; extremism is a temporary aberration, so is irrational behavior in general, such as intolerance, cruelty, etc. The effort needed to overcome such basic psychological handicaps is immense….Each new generation faces this challenge again, for experience cannot be inherited.
You post THAT and you should be banned for life!
What hath been seen cannot be unseen!
And there isn’t enough eyewash in all of Walmart’s distribution centers to wash that image out.

“She is building stamina through tough new workouts with a personal trainer and yoga ...... Mrs. Clinton is getting in better physical shape, a necessity for any potential candidate who faces the rigors of the campaign trail. Friends said she has more energy and has also been practicing yoga.”
a triple threat to the eyes; Helen Thomas, SHRILLary & Biden.

Obie's Muslim upbringing will prevent him from doing anything serious about this. "I will stand with Islam"...I think is what he said. It's all quite obvious, makes sense, and explains a lot.
This Week should invite her back if for nothing else is their serious lack of eye candy.
I’m afraid she is. Who, so far, on our side, has displayed an interest to run?
Jeb Bush — Blech! Stay out da Bushes!
Romney? — Where’s my picture of “Oh No! Not this shit again!?”
Christie - Not going to happen.
Cruz — I’d like, but I think he’ll wait and build a movement.
Rand Paul — Ron Paul JUNIOR
Marco Rubio - Mr. Amnesty?
Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain? Has beens and election failures.
Sarah Palin - Man, I’d love it but I’m not sure she wants it.
Add any name you’d like, but our list is not prime time. Somebody needs to make a move, do it fast, and get something steamrolling NOW!
