• 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.

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.
