Miscellany
The mid-term elections are now but a week away.
All 189 people on board are considered to have perished.
It’s Lion Air, a cheap airline ran by a cheap country.
Taking life into hands when flying Indonesian’s toy airplanes.
She’d been discussing such as civility when the interviewer asked what she thought of Corey Booker declaring that we should kick them when they are down.
“That was Eric Holder,” Hillary corrected.
“It’s ok, they all look the same,” Hillary snorted.
Based on the old joke about negroes looking all alike but heh, that was back when I was young and of course they don’t all look alike.
I might suppose Hillary was trying to be funny and she maybe was worth a quick but embarrassing giggle.
Why is this woman insisting on keeping the dislikes between the races ongoing? Why can’t she say something nice, like not saying Democrats will not be civil until they win elections.
Hillary…….we should have voted for her.
Thursday Date-11/01/18
The scuttlebutt is that Bret Kavanaugh rejected the $600,000 contributed by supporters.
Time for Ballsey Ford to turn her million bucks from Gofundme for lying.
She’s a state Senator from Missouri and she tweeted that she wants Trump assassinated.
She took the tweet down real quick but you know how those things go.
And they keep saying Trump is the one being uncivil.
I won’t go into the details. I listened and I read and I learned. I get that it was never the intent of the 14th amendment to grand citizenship to babies born to illegal aliens when in the United States.
I understand that the constitution does not say all babies born in America are automatically citizens.
Turns out they must be born to parents that are subject to the laws of America and with loyalty to same.
Anyway, I do get it and I’ve got issues with it all.
Bur for now, if I can read up on this matter, WHY THE HELL CAN’T PAUL RYAN???
First thing the jerk goes out and says no way will Trump do this.
Ryan, you congress critters, every damn one of you, need to read up on the subject. Attend a class on the issue.
Then sit down like congress critters should do and craft laws and/or amendments to get what the people want.
More on this matter at another time…..
No less than Rush Limbaugh offered an explanation for the cavalcade of immigrants approaching our southern border.
Rush says that many countries in Europe were also approached by caravans of immigrants and many European countries let them in.
Germany, for example, wanted more low wage workers for its factories. Angela Merkel is not running for re-election for a constituency not liking strangers in the thousands invited by the thousands to rape the women.
France regularly gets its cars burned and couple times a year someone blows up a place of business.
Greece, already dirt poor, chooses more welfare and let the Muslim invaders do all the work.
The same people who organized those mass invasions to Europe are behind the big invasion of America.
The timing of the “invasion” is also a clue. The Muslim oil money behind all this does NOT much like this current administration.
With an important election coming up those who want to take us over want to scare Americans, AND the sitting President, into allowing the immigrants in to take over it all.
Hillary would have figuratively opened the border door, told us what wonderful and sweet people they were, set up a GOFUNDME account for the poorer, and boom, Sharia law soon is the rule and women must wear burkas.
Just in, as of this writing.
As of this writing the mid-term election is but three days away.
Who do I think will win?
Okay, I’ll take a chance.
General agreement is that the Repubs will hold the Senate.
Of course they will.
As for the House, I think the Repubs will hold on to that as well.
It’s a simple guestimate as to how it will turn out but so far as I am concerned, the Democrats bring nothing to the table.
This will be the end of Clinton glory.
Chik Fil A.
A good fast food restaurant, who’s owner once spoke out against gay marriage.
A store that never once refused to serve a gay person, nor treated any gay customers with no less respect than any other customer, and compared to McDonalds or Burger King, has far better customer service to begin with.
I’m not a big chicken sandwich fan, so I don’t go to Chik Fil A often, but I wish some of their attitude was adopted by other fast food joints!
The lies told by the Left and are readily accepted do great harm to the body politic.
The plane was a brand new Boeing 737 Max 8, which Lion Air had started flying in August of this year. The Boeing 737 Max 8 entered commercial service only around a year and a half ago.
It could be another case of lax safety and maintenance standards in Indonesia, but this was no toy plane.
Fish, Ryan and the other members of Congress understand all this perfectly well. The problem is simply that they all long ago sold their souls to powerful interests who wish to destroy the concepts of borders and national sovereignty, not just here, but worldwide, and force us all into a collective, global "new world order" (with them at the top running things, of course).
They have no intention of allowing Trump/us to build the Wall, or even other measures that will give us a secure border. It's not the cost(which is trivial) they object to. It's the very idea that We the People should be the ones who decide who is let in, or not, that cannot be allowed to take root and determine policy. It's the very idea that individual nation states, and not the so-called "international community" who should make the decision, that cannot be allowed to flourish.
It's all "those very ideas"(as embodied in the US Constitution, that the People are sovereign) that they fear, that will destroy their quest for absolute worldwide power, and that they are expending so much effort to suppress. It's a battle they've been waging for a long time. Do a search on the term "Kalergi Plan" and you'll see just how long term these evil totalitarians have been planning.
Since "We the People" have proven ourselves to be impertinent, recalcitrant or otherwise unwilling to submit docilely to their "enlightened vision", they will simply replace us. That's the plan. Once we understand and accept that, then all the frustrating, "incomprehensible" actions, and inactions, by Ryan and our other duly elected "public servants" make perfect sense.
As one of my favorite authors, Robert Heinlein, once succinctly put it: In a "mature society", the term civil servant is semantically equal to civil master.
I wonder how the New York Times would have dealt with that if the parties had been reversed...
