“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luke 1:30-33 KJV

The Establishmedia is running another coup and they believe they have won. The first one was with Richard Nixon, the second was Reagan with Iran Contra, next was GHW Bush with the fake Paris meeting and then GW with revealing the so called CIA operative. You have the same Ink and Quill Media reporting in breathless tones how a Republican President needs to be impeached over their made up crimes. Why anyone would question whether Commiedia is not a branch of the DNC is the only mystery in this entire charade.

The only difference between this coup and the other ones such as Iran Contra is the cooperation they are having with the DC establishment. The heads of the CIA, FBI and NSA are all working in concert to facilitate and in the beginning ran the coup against what they believe was a threat to their lifestyle. These are statists like Comey who were making tens of millions of dollars floating between their high salaried FBI jobs and the private sector as advisors capturing millions in consulting fees. Now he is making tens of millions in the publishing industry as a hero among the Flintstone Roundtables.

What we are seeing is a morphing between an out of control Injustice Department and the press working in unison to oust President Trump simply to maintain their power. Both have been targeted by this President and his Tea Party base who had no idea the war they would be going against. They figured once the people in DC were released from the overbearing control of the lobbyists and assorted corruption they would want to clean up the swamp. How naïve they were to think the swamp was all there was since the money machine had corrupted the entire city.

Now you have a virtual war on your hands with the Corrupt Media working in unison with the DNC which owns most of the power structure of the District of Corruption. This coup has revealed to everyone except the most ardent Marxist, how DC wants to enslave the people. People like Comey and F Chuck Todd despise the real Americans and their hunger for freedom. They need Americans to be slaves to them and control their every move and under Hillary that is exactly what would have happened. They would have installed their Soviet style crackdown under the guise of Global Warming and this would have been their Clean Energy Utopia while the serfs paid the freight.

Just like France, this country would have been without cheap electricity since coal would have been closed over CO2 emissions. Rather than the four cents a kilowatt companies are generating now, you would have seen double or triple depending if they would have allowed Nat Gas which is doubtful running costs to 30 and 40 cents as people freeze in their houses. Fracking and oil exploration would have been curtailed and we would be importing from her friends in Saudi Arabia as the money poured into the Clinton Family Laundry. Rather than being a net oil exporter we would be looking at Paris Accord taxation moving the gas prices well above 4 and 5 dollars a gallon destroying this economy. At that point the District and Old Media would be in complete control of your lives as one declaration after another would regulate you deeper and deeper into their misery.

The good news would be all of those tax dollars would feed the Comeys of DC and their lives would be so high on the hog they would be riding it. This is what this coup is about and what power means to them, pure unadulterated greed. Look at every one of their bank accounts during the Barack years and you will find tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into their pockets from graft and bribery with checks coming from China, Russia and the Middle East meant to make your life worse and then Trump comes along to expose and perhaps stop it.

This is a war and war is ugly. It has claimed its first victims with Michael Flynn, Manafort, Cohen and Papadopoulos who were all guilty of helping Trump. How in the world does President Trump lose his Attorney Client Privilege which is the basis of law? Does this mean we no longer have this long held belief in your ability to talk to your lawyer without him being interrogated and threatened until he will do whatever a prosecutor wants him to do? We already lost our Right of Search and Seizure when they were spying on a Presidential Candidate without a warrant and now Attorney Client, what next?

The Communist Party plays by no rules. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are nuisances to them and only to be used in one of their clichés to justify their taking away of your freedom. The MuleTeam coup knows if you dig long enough into a person’s tax return you will find deductions which are questionable and can bankrupt anyone and everyone so you will break and avoid jail time. If that doesn’t work they can twist your words like they did Flynn and call it perjury which is an automatic two year term while bankrupting your family and mission accomplished. How would you like this done to you for the crime of helping a candidate win?

This is the outlawing of anyone outside of the swamp ever daring to try to drain it again. People with Trump’s intentions of going in and changing things for the better will never be allowed without huge prices to pay from Moscow on the Potomac and its mediot terrorists. They were and are so close to absolute control of the USSa they can taste it and if they can get rid of the few stragglers like Trump and his allies they can make this a place where Social Justice can exist and thrive like nowhere on the earth has ever dreamed. A place where everyone would be tolerant of blacks, Spanish, women, homosexuals, transsexuals, Mooselimbs and every other oppressed group or else!

America dodged a cannon ball with Trump over the sure end of America and capitalism with Harpy. Unfortunately for President Trump that entire army is pointed right at him just like it was under Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes only ten times as powerful since it is organized and sees him as the biggest threat they have seen in seventy years. They have been exposed so they have nothing to hide and are using their corrupt power completely in the open with acts like the stripping of attorney client privilege. They are desperate and need to make him and his kind go away and never return to their money factory. The so called Blue Wave was a Yellow Trickle that did not get them the Senate where all the power exists so minus voter fraud would not even taken the House they are still on the outside with only Dingbat Pelosi to save the day and their never ending coup.

America is at another cross road. Does it allow this manufactured DC/media coup to continue or does it say enough is enough and move to improving itself. Does it want to continue with the District of Communism or try some free market ideas like we have seen in the deregulated oil and coal industry? Let’s apply them to the auto industry and take the chains off it. Let’s try it with banking and health insurance and watch this country become the economic engine of the world. Heck, we may even allow freedom of speech and thought and take the chains off churches. Imagine if you took the Thought Nazi gags off Americans and let them off the DC plantation?

Pray for Donald Trump

• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Let us all hope that Rodguy is back from that silly fishing thing and will intrigue us with his research of the matter.

Tuesday date-12/11/18

The Supreme refused a hearing on attempts to deny the services of Planned Parenthood based on the provision of federal funds.

“It left in place two lower court opinions that said that states violate federal law when they terminate Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood affiliates who offer preventive care for low income women.”

So if you are a Planned Parenthood affiliate you can continue abortions all you want, even if on the federal dime.

So I listened to Macron’s pathetic speech. Macron is the President of France, looks like he’s 12 years old, and has done a right lousy job of leading his people.

The citizens of France are angry as the cost of their gasoline rises, now up to over $7.00 a gallon. They also don’t care much for that Brexit thing, which takes the needs of Brussels over France.

Add in the unfettered influx of Muslime who rape woman as is their wont.

And you got citizens wearing yellow vests and rioting in the streets.

Macron gave a speech expressing how unhappy his citizens are and how he will do better in the future.

Folks, people all over the planet are not pleased with being taxed for this global warming thing.

It’s the elites versus the common people. Macron is the elite.

Soon this might well be America.

But over here we got the second amendment.

President Trump, Future Speaker Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer had a sort of growling contest in front of news media.

Pelosi said no more money would be approved for border security. Schumer said same thing. Trump said he would let the government shut down if he doesn’t get money for the border wall.

Here’s my question, why won’t the Democrats allow a protective wall? Us boobs out here in la-la land understand the concept of fences and walls.

Polls show that over 78% of Americans want a wall at the border.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

As for Trump, I don’t think he’s backing down.

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer, was sentenced to jail for 36 months for that which was NOT a crime.

Seems that Trump and Cohen collaborated on how to handle accusing females from Trump’s past.

Now anyone who thinks that Trump never had nothing to do with females not his wife when married or with no wife….well I got a bridge to sell cheap.

Not that JFK and Clinton and no doubt many more were bedding the women and I’m thinking some of them got paid off.

Whatever the case, is all of American screaming shouting and demanding that Cohen, Manafort…et al….go to jail?

Are they some kind of danger to the community? Will Manafort become a serial killers which is why he is in lockup solitary.

America is no longer America, folks. Our government is corrupt, both Dems and Repubs.

The peons will rise up soon, like those in France and England.

Which brings us to the President of France, 10 year old Macron, and the hapless British head of government, Theresa May.

Both of these people are going to be subject to “votes of no confidence”, the way they impeach people in Europe I’m thinking.

Because May and Macron now have gasoline prices up to $7/00 plus a gallon.

You can believe Americans would be rioting in the streets if our gasoline should go that high.

And we have the second amendment thing.

Some intriguing news items.

A Chinese worker was working in a factory when part of a machine fell on him. It had steel rods as part of the mechanism and the rods pierced the Chinese worker in six places.

49-year-old, named as Mr Zhou, was working on the night shift at a porcelain factory in Hunan province when he was struck by a falling mechanical arm.

The accident resulted in him being impaled with foot long, half-inch thick metal rods, the People’s Daily reported.

Below is a link to the FreeRepublic post with a graphic picture.

Be cautious with your eyeballs.

HE HAD ONE JOB!

Somebody left a human heart meant for medical aid onboard a Southwest Airlines flight.

Somebody had one job, to retrieve that heart and deliver it.

THEY LEFT IT ON THE AIRPLANE!!

-
SEATTLE — Southwest Airlines says a Dallas-bound flight returned to Seattle last weekend because a human heart was left on board.

The Seattle Times reports that Flight 3606 arrived in Seattle from Sacramento, California. Someone forgot to unload the heart before the plane left for Dallas, and the captain announced over Idaho they were turning back.

It’s been bandied about all day today that Pope Francis going to change the Lord’s prayer.

Why?

THE LORD’S PRAYER WAS WRITTEN BY GOD HIMSELF!!!

And now this Pope Francis is going to re-write God’s words?

The end of the Lord’s prayer, as recited by non-Catholics, has “for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory….forever…amen”

Catholics do not say that ending because, well read it, if God wrote it He would not write those words.

Catholics DO say those words after saying AMEN because praising God’s glory is righteous.

Now the Pope is going to change the Lord’s prayer?

Please say it ain’t so!

On a personal note….I write the following to give a smile and maybe brag a little.

I was dressed for church yesterday to go to the Saturday mass. I looked nice but mainly because, well, I was dressed for church.

Had on a long red dress with a perfectly fitted white jacket, white belt….add my new short hair, carefully chosen jewelry…yada, yada.

On the way to church I stopped to get a soda and some guy in the checkout line was flirting with me endlessly.

Man, I’m 68 years old, not used to such flirting.

Anyway, get to church and the guy handling the door, another parishioner, I know him by sight. As I walked up to the door his eyes got wide. “You look really great tonight,” he said. Flattered, but a bit embarrassed at this odd attention, I explained it was Christmas and I wanted to look festive.

So I thought I’d take a moment and spread a promise I make to all the men in the world who will thank me one day for such a vow.

Every male on this planet and some on Mars will thank me for this.

I will never have another boyfriend, date and definitely not a husband. No man on this earth should get close to my crazy family and all the problems with same. I have been married four times, two deceased husbands….

Not that these guys want to marry me and most likely reacted to what I admit was a colorful outfit.

But just so all males know….I will save you from the nonsense that is my life.

Thank me very much.

Something I just realized and now that I do vow never to accept again. That is, whenever I get a guest list that contains Amanda Carpenter, the drivebys write her guest line as follows:

Amanda Carpenter, author of “Gaslighting America: Why We Love It When Trump Lies to Us”

Well, that is exceptionally biased, no?

Many guests are also authors. They’re highlighting this as the love to say “Trump lies”.

So, from this point forward, I’ll be on the lookout for it.

Her line will read as follows:

Amanda Carpenter, ANTITRUMPER and author of Fake News.

Brilliant as usual bud,i like this one the best.

The Mule team needs to be defunded and we need to go on a permanent offensive blasting these ass clowns for everything they do all the time. Each time we win an issue they will go to the next so we have to be twice as smart as them which we are.

Time to let it be seen.

I will post what I posted yesterday per Bray’s poignant piece...have hope, all...

...
Keep the hope alive everyone.

Bray, you, too, and Larry.

We really have to believe God does have all this in His grasp...including PDJT’s enemies and his friends and family...for simplicity, I’ll put all of us in the latter category.

Believe.

No matter how things appear.

PDJT has to have some dry ammo...now just isn’t the time to use it...I don’t have an answer why, but I will believe.

Perhaps it is to be used months from now to ensure 2020 won’t be stolen or impeachment done.

I get down, too, but we have to pray, trust, and hope...

Part of prayer, as David did, can include imploring our God to smite and utterly destroy the evil enemy. Fair game!

Bill Gates hasn’t been in charge of Microsoft for many years now.

He and co-founder Paul Allen both retired from running the company they founded.

Off all the high tech leaders, Paul Allen, who recently died, was probably the most conservative.

Of all those today, I’d say Bill Gates is actually the least Left-wing of all the high tech tycoon. Maybe Elon Musk, also?

Let us all hope that Rodguy is back from that silly fishing thing and will intrigue us with his research of the matter.

Oh contraire noted sage!

My fishing is a necessary deed long overdue,especially when we caught 50 Spanish mackerel and a bunch of other scallywags!! herer is a good looking Spanish mackerel caught by a good looking well see for yourself! ................... I did learn some first hand info that needs to be put forth since i had part of it technically wrong. I have a source that knew Adnan Khashoggi well enough to fly in his planes on special occasions.

Seems Adnan was not the bad guy i assumed he must be at least in the 70's and 80's. Instead he was an ace businessman brokering arms deals at a level that will problaby never be seen again. At one time he had acquired a mega-yacht almost 300 feet long where he would have as many as 15 deals going at once with commission rates approaching 15%.Mega bucks when you consider the deal could range up to 100 million per deal. It was a good thing as well since with his homes planes boats etc. his overhead approached $250,000 per day.a lofty figure to neutralize with revenue. One had to wonder if such a high profile arms dealer had not attracted the attention of the cia,if not it would have been a rare occurrence, likely he had some connect no telling what it was. Especially when you have a gaming problem as he had. Seems it finally got the best of him and his lavish life style which afforded him a claim of being one of the richest billionaires of the time who finally collapses as he self-destructed.

So as my source said he didn't have to smuggle. He made too much as it was and it would have ruined his reputation.

As for Jamal we know the story all too well.He was MB rabid to the death, likely a mocking bird for the cia, heavy into saudi intel for decades, used journalism as a cover,hated MBS and wanted him toppled.

One of the dumbest things Jamal did was to write stupid stuff about the kingdom over and over provoking those who don't allow such stuff in their kingdom,he had been asking for trouble for years and finally he got it.

I’d be interested to hear what he has to say. Still, since he’s being interviewed by Chris Wallass, Gates will be asked all kinds of political questions, and he’ll probably give stock liberal/anti-Trump answers.

Well, no.

I meant to say Gates was the least like this.

He'll mouth the talking points when pressed by Wallass, but I think he doesn't follow Leftist doctrine.
