Mostly discussed was John Brennan, that wonderful fellow, former Director of the CIA, who called our President treasonous.
But some interesting tidbits on the Catholic thing and reflections on a future bright economy.
Highlight of Fox News Sunday:
OMB Director Nick Mulvaney takes over the teaching of economics and how good America’s looks.

Highlight of Meet the Press:
Brennan is just awful. He stands by his accusation of treason by Trump.
Giuiliani does a great job of setting it all straight.

***********
Well, as they say, “In for a penny, in for a pound”.
Anyone that deep in treason with Brennan will not be deterred simply because Brennan no longer has his clearance...
Ummm... Fort Devins?
Folks, just wanted to say a few things before the day is done.
I was on a business trip to a liberal hell-hole state and I must say I met a lot of interesting people who seemed not like Leftist idiots at all. Regular Joes and Janes who seemed happy. No one disagreed with me every time I said the economy was doing good.
I spoke to diverse people at the hotel, at restaurants, etc. in the evening, and at the airport.
Funny. I met an older couple going to California. I said how sad I was about all the fires in their state. These people, plus another chimed in about the failure to do controlled burns and such. I acted surprised like, and asked “Isn’t a controlled burn bad for the environment?” (like I was the Leftist) and they got miffed and said the out-of-control fires were a lot WORSE for the environment! I agreed and the conversation was mildly conservative until we boarded. And this was at Boston’s Logan airport!
Mean while, I sat at the hotel bar and spoke about how great the economy was, how happy I had work again, and how awful it was over the last many (12) years. Everyone agreed. Nobody said anything stupid like Obama created this booming economy. I never used the word “Trump” but you could tell it was a seed worth planting.
We should ALL do this as we’re out and about.
I’m asking you all to give it a try!!!
Don’t mention names, just how good it finally is. Talk about truckers making $100,000 a year in West Texas due to the oil boom. Talk about Europe, China and Mexico coming to the bargaining table, and what that means for more good times. Slap a knee and laugh with joy! Tell them you love America, them, and all that it means to you. People LOVE it.
Seriously, it feels like 1985 again!
The security clearances do need to be shut down. My guess is he will.
I understand just what you mean, AB.
There’s the unspoken out there. I live in Lewes, Delaware, a very liberal town filled with New Jersey transplants.
They started out disliking Trump but I now note that...well there’s unspoken words in the air.
Normal people with normal minds understand such as walls to keep out strangers, paying for your own health care, the importance of an army. For sure normal people do not think the former director of any agency under a current ongoing leader would not be out and calling names.
But here in Lewes, Del. we do not have near enough people to fill the opened jobs.
Our priest, known as “The Tea Party” priest is about as Conservative as they come.
By the way, they have all the priests telling the Sunday masses that the Catholic church has to be fixed.
I thought we fixed it many years ago.
Yes, we have the McCarrick and Weurl characters in Penna. but that whole thing has been blown up way out of proportion.
I am not defending priests who do bad things and I know they’re out there.
But it’s no where near like this silly story all blown up to ashes in Penna that’s is more like revenge than chasing an injustice.
But I’m not going to argue with any of you, and I sense some of you would like to. I am in favor of no one molesting anyone against their will.
Priests do it, but damn the Catholic church watches for anybody alone with children.
Even us dumb Catholics learn our lessons.
Anybody wants to comment further, you have the last word.
There should be no statue of limitations on child abuse. This was very, very bad. The years of cover ups is WHY it took so long. Not buying the “ oh, it’s just an attack on the Catholic church and, yeah, we’re all sinners”..now move along, nothing to see here!
Been hearing that song for the last forty years...And that is exactly why this sick abuse kept going...The laity for decades dismissed this, excused it, said the church was the victim while the Swamp was protected.
The pope is so busy with global warming, he won’t talk about the truth even after this report came out....And this is just PA!
THIS report reminds me of the Washington swamp , same beauracracy...money and power. ... And whatever you do, don’t question anything if you’re just one of the faithful sitting in a pew.
Not since the founder,s children took over
It was child trafficking within the parish.
If you had read the report, ...not “ some mythical jury”,
You wouldn’t be so dismissive of it.
Read the report and then come back and be so dismissive!
HA HA ! No proof?
The Dioceses OWN RECORDS FOR YEARS! NAMES OF VICTIMS, NAMES OF PRIESTS, nature of abuse after abuse, where priest “ was transferred to which parrish”.
You may have the last word.
But why be so damn mean about it?
I’ve been using Red Tsunami for a couple of months. With Trump, that’s what we can expect. Not sure who’s up for election in November in California, but I assume the Trumpers will do fantastically well.
How about reading the report, then decide if I was too harsh at your minimization and apologies for these tragedies.
” Father Joe Handallabout “...
Yeah, this whole thing is silly to you. Yeah, I’m upset at the laity who poo-poohed it all these years and STILL DO.
MEAN?...No, very harsh, yes.
Frank Luntz was on the Howie show “Media Buzz” this morning and unconsciously summarized it: “I love what he is doing, but not how he is doing it.* At least he was on camera when he said it. Multiply that admission across the country and we get a Trump wave in the November election. Not a red wave, not a blue wave, a Trump wave.
brilliant post and its even better when you live it as many of us do. (not that you don’t)It’s all I do is pose the positives of capitalism over and over.
Even sadder is the law enforcement at almost every level of govt. that allows these pedophiles to go on and on never paying a real price for their atrocities.
