Here’s a clip from the link at post #12
...............
Breaking: Just a few hours ago, Iranian state media released a video from Iranian Revolutionary Guard showing a secret underground missile base. The previously unreleased footage features dozens of long range missiles, capable of striking Israel, locked and loaded onto mobile launch vehicles.

In the video, Iranian military leaders are seen walking over replicas of the American and Israeli flags placed on the floor at the entrance of the compound.

This bold demonstration of Iranian Military power comes less than 24 hours after the Obama administration was forced to admit.

Excellent diagnosis of our case of chronic American Liberal Munchausen Syndrome, bray.

We need a 50 State restraining order on these Liberals and their mental patient followers instead of letting them run loose, crap up our beautiful house, and insist it is we who are sick and need to be controlled and looted to pay for their medications and delusions.

[Alas Babylon!]

Some news I thought I'd slip in while we all wait for reporters to report in on the shows...

(CNN)—Donald Trump holds double-digit leads over Ben Carson in both South Carolina and Nevada, the third and fourth states scheduled to hold nominating contests in next year's race for the presidency, with Trump widely seen in each state as the best candidate to handle a range of top issues, according to new CNN/ORC polls.

Trump holds 38% support in Nevada, with Carson in second with 22%, and in South Carolina, Trump doubles Carson's support, 36% to 18%. No other candidate comes close to those top two in either state; the third-place candidate in each case has less than 10% support.

Trump's backing in both states outpaces his support in most recent national polling, where he tends to draw around a quarter of Republican voters.

Laughing out loud at the last sentence! Gee, with a field of 16 now whittled down to 13, he's ONLY getting 25%!!! :->~

[RayChuang88]

Based on what you said in your posting, what really bothers me even now is what happened to the Black community since the 1960's to make them so disliked nowadays??

Back in the 1960's, Blacks were admired for fighting for civil rights to eliminate racial discrimination, created GREAT music (thanks to the Motown record label), and so on. Today, they have serious problems with broken families, have leaders that essentially want "Gimme! Gimme!", and many people dislike hip-hop music (a bit of irony here: many say some of the most influential rap music albums ever made was by a white artist named Marshall Mathers III, aka Eminem). It's getting so bad that even comedian Chris Rock is making jokes about the highest crime rate is in the Black-dominated part of any town....

[Alas Babylon!]

While I was snooping around the dreadful CNN website, with it's jumping out of no where videos shouting at full blast, annoying popups and browser-slowing script loads, I found this headline on Jake Tapper's State of the Union promo:

This Sunday: Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Mitt Romney Exclusives

So I guess we get even more nausea--for those who dare to watch!

[Alas Babylon!]

If you read the bottom of that post Ray you will note that that is the weekly Sunday Morning Bray essay, written by FReeper Bray.

I can’t take credit nor answer questions about it.

[Morgan in Denver]

I would bet there are a lot of people like me who have not aligned our support with any one candidate yet. I have no problem voting for Trump and I think I understand the Trump appeal to voters across the country: blue and white collar as well as anyone even slightly conservative.

My point being the Trump support is broader and deeper than the media or pundits realize or understand.

[rodguy911]

That’s for sure. Trump even crosses party lines with his support. He may be the ultimate candidate if he can just shut up for a while. He keeps saying dumb stuff.

[animal172]

Agree. Although Trump has toned it down somewhat over the last several weeks he still has a ways to go. If and when he really gets serious about his run, his poll numbers will go through the roof. Don’t want him to act like the others, but would like for him to be a tad more statesman like.

[bray]

The dumb stuff is what keeps him in the news. He turned the dumb 911 statement brilliantly as he said he would have thrown those terrorists out of the country.

He obviously doesn’t like Wallace or Fox.

[Son House]

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz

Cruz needed to clarify he stood his ground and didn’t just vote with the other side.

On using the Military Cruz should have also added to defend freedom.

[mountainfolk]

Trump on FNS well worth watching. Wallace and Trump in top form.

[ground_fog]

George Will is in complete denial! What a loser

[Fishtalk]

OMG THAT IS SO GOOD!

Thank you Gritty.

Y’all would know nothing about Munchausen syndrome, or very little at any rate, without me. And I am NOT proud of that.

Been reading up on the subject, for my book, my appearance on the Discovery channel, possibly Dr. Phil.

Because the analogy Gritty made....ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Estimate about 10% of hospital/doctor patients are Munchausen. On my daughter alone taxpayers have spent over three million dollars! Loony bins run $2,000 a night!

Now she’s in a DC hospital....do you think she’s telling them the truth as they scramble to get her Section 8 housing on our dime?

Of course not.

She’s boo-hooing how she had to get a restraining order against her husband and her own mother, how she has nowhere safe to live....they will hug her and feel for her, they will buy her Mountain Dew and cigarettes....

...indeed every nutty thing going on with my daughter is because in this country everything is boo-hoo...people can’t possibly be faking!

Can they?

[bray]

Georgie Will is having a little boy moment over Trump. His hatred of Trump could be cut with a butter knife.

He doesn’t get it at all and is very bitter.

[bray]

Someone needs to let Georgie know that over 100 million Americans are out of work in spite of the little TV manufacturer he found in SC.

Trump was talking about supplying one of his hotels and Georgie found some little factory that couldn’t fill the order. He looked so petty.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Back in the 1960's, Blacks were admired for fighting for civil rights...

Also "back in the 60's"...the Soviets, in their methodical campaign to "divide and conquer" actual Soviet Agents planted seeds among blacks, women, queers, students, treehuggers etc... and did a pretty damn good job of achieving their goals.

We are still divided.

If you even wondered, "why does someone's being black make them an automatic democrat"....there's your answer.

[NKP_Vet]

Romney is on CNN to badmouth Trump. No other reason.

[Fishtalk]

I watched Ted Cruz’ interview on Meet the Depressed. Lord he was good.

Chuck Todd tried to beat him down but Cruz....well hey, I love the guy.

Takeaway quote of the day: “If you’re looking for someone beloved by the Washington elite....I’m not your guy.”

Heh.\

Oh.....and PILLS! I found pills everywhere, pills and meds and piles of pills and more pill bottles! Prescription meds of every kind, in every drawer....

AND BEFORE YOU ASK.....YES I GOT PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS!

And did I tell you she tried to kill her dog? With PILLS, but of course.

Pictures.....all pictures.

Cause she’s going to jail.

I will figure out how but you will someday know my name very well.

Not that this was ever part of my life’s plan, but you take the strikes that life throws you. For one solid week I considered suicide such was the horrible, humiliating pain she cost me. Now I am attending a class for relatives of mental patients and am learning.

This sort of thing is, as I learn, not unusual for nutjobs. The big difference, and everybody knows it, is that my daughter is very, very, very intelligent.

My counselor at this class tells me that there is nothing more dangerous than a deranged nut job with a supreme level of intelligence. They can control the world.

Whatever medicine she wanted, you and I paid for it. So she could kill her dog, yes....cause she knew she was going in the hospital and she tried to do something with dogs.

I got lots and lots of pictures.

[Fhios]

Looks like he’s learning the political game very quickly. I don’t think he’s toning it down in as much as he’s following a very lose and flexible early strategy.

Entertainment and notoriety then when you’ve captured everybody’s attention, start interesting them in policy and rigor.

He outpaced the field, not by some ingenious genius stuff that us non-genius’s can’t understand. He just knee-capped them all. With that alone, he won my respect and admiration.
