Yes, Strassel is pretty bad, but if you ever see the venom pouring out of Mary Kissel you’ll be pretty ticked at her as well!
Look at post #1
Used to be part of the FB group, but the spam posts just got to be too much, so I dropped out of it.
Was this in Tokyo?
I just love trivia.
FIRST Donald wants me to tell All if you haven’t heard already that his NICKNAME for Hillary is “CROOKED”.
Yesterday I painted the front porch.
Today Im cleaning the deck, opening the pool and repairing the driveway.
Not much time for rallies but I did see some of the presser and the end of the Poughkeepsie event.
I cant wait to get back to the day job, weekend chores are murder!
Towanda has an actual small strip of route 66. YOu park get out of your car, and walk it. It amazing how small that was. Not much in Bloomington. They have all your basic restaurants. Olive Garden is clean. I usually sit in the bar section.
Biaggi’s is good, and there’s a new place that’s authentic family Italian called Beningo’s.
Best pizza anywhere is Rosati’s that will deliver to your room. I like Cheese and Sausage, myself. Medium is Yuuuuuge. Add mushrooms and onions if you want, but their basic is great.
Agree totally, Mr. Trump’s energy level today was off the charts even by his standards. He seems to have a little wind at his back, gaining strength from asserting his high moral message re the rigged system. His surging poll numbers also must be fueling confidence in his campaign. He’s even up 18% in a new CBS/YouGov Poll of California.
Both Corey Lewandowski (on Fox) and Paul Manafort (on ABC) this morning radiated an aura of inevitability about Mr. Trump’s nomination.
Finally, I do sense he is now directing more barbs at “Crooked Hillary!!”
It will be a glorious experience over the next several months to watch this brave patriot assume the Presidency—and forever reshape how our government works for we the people!!
Looked inthe mirror at church with piano glasses on. Look just like ‘MR Peabody. Laughed out loud. Think pastor thinks I’m loosing it!
Hahaha!
I am urging all New York Republican/Conservatives to vote for “only” Donald j. Trump this coming Tuesday, April 19, 2016 in the POTUS Primary. Forget just getting over 50% of the vote. That percentage number is far too low. Le’t shoot for between 65%-75% victory margin for DJT!!! New York State Voters....if you give DJT that kind of victory......he will be the Republican nominee for POTUS. End of story!!! Screw “Lyin’, Cheating” Ted Cruz & boring, deadbeat, John Kascish....losers that they both are!!!
And....RNC....fire that low life, smoke filled backroom, vermin, excuse for a human being, RNC Establishment, Chairman, Reince Priebus, the man that neither believes in “one man, one vote & freedom of voter choice”. He adores despots & Tyrants galore!!! Go Donald J. Trump!!!
His fortune & sacred honor is laid on the line
I hope he keeps his twitter...
Sounds like you made VERY good use of your FR downtime. :)
You are officially ready for Summer!!
John Who?
I am ready to go after these people that mess up FR and I have no idea what is going on LOL...
Hello all.

Would have gotten the cars washed too if I hadn’t woke up with a splitting headache - so I didn’t get started until 10am.
