After all the statistical fog they finally say in the last sentence Canadians and Mexicans are the largest numbers.
7-10 is well below the average over time. Just look at the chart!

Hey Pat!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I missed not having your political diary to read this week!
Hope you will bring it back next Sunday!
Take Care!
Ms.
How long is he going to hold a grudge and get in the fight for this country?
Sorry I didn’t reply to you and everyone else after 9:00 am or so...
Been out all day visiting friends and relatives and helping kids prepare for Christmas Story pageant tomorrow evening
Barron said, Daddy look at this man eating! Trump said, What a slob! Hilarious!!
Barron - remember sometime in future President Barron....
I’ve been out in LA two weeks ago and then in DC last week.
I said Merry Christmas to everyone and almost always got a very Merry Christmas back. A couple even said it with a tone of relief!
One federal worker at the Department of Labor, where I was teaching, said she preferred Happy Holidays out of respect for other religions.
I remarked back to her that December 25th is in fact a FEDERAL holiday and is named “Christmas” in the federal registry. So Merry Christmas can be said by and to all Americans as that is the name of this secular holiday, as the US Government doesn’t have religious holidays. You can be any—or no—religion and it is still a federal day off.
She nodded as that seemed to actually make sense to her.
I mean, really, Merry Christmas is an innocuous term when you think about it; not proselytizing at all to ask some one to have a happy day, no? It’s not like you said “He is born” or the “Savior has arrived!”.
So the atheists can say “Merry Christmas” as it is, for them, “Have a Happy, joyful day on this end of the year federal day off form work.” Just easier to say.
How does a Spanish mackerel compare to a blue fish, taste wise?
I’ve caught lots of blues, and they are an oily fish and tend to have a fishy flavor, unless you get all of that dorsal vein out and grill them to drain the oil. I usually grill them directly over a flame and then fry them with tomatoes, onions and peppers and they’re then very good eats.
Would you recommend doing the same for Spanish mackerel?
No one really has a handle on the numbers. We are forced to use the USG official figures to have credibility with the public. IMO they are grossly understated.
Who is saying that Ted is holding a grudge. And Ted is doing a fine job representing Texas in the Senate, unlike his RINO senior Senator who is No 2 in the Senate hierarchy.
Check out the tables in the link.
In Oregon you notice a very hostile tone to the Merry Christmas in public.
If you oven cook them remove the skin and go for once again a pure white fillet. When fresh they are as good as it gets. Yes bluefish can be oily but that's good for your health. I like to steak bigger macks--5 lbs and up. They make great steaks.
Gut them, cut heads and tails off and stake the rest.
Marinate them in Zesty Italian dressing for a few hours,then grill them and remove the bones and skin in one fail swoop. You are left with great stakes nearly as good as wahoo.
I would totally agree.
I agree. Ted has done lots of favors for the President, and the President has done favors for Ted, including campaign rallies to counter that fake Mexican poser, Beto.
Even if the hate each others’ guts, they know they are both bound by politics to support each other.
A relative told me yesterday she’ll vote for Beto if he runs. I wailed into her. Dig this—she did not know Beto wasn’t Hispanic. When I told her he was a poser who uses a Mexican nickname, she became angry about it. An otherwise smart girl, but watches too much TV news...
