Also, some Republicans, the lying failure of a journalist asserts, told him they don’t want “brown grandbabies”.
Brokaw began by sharing the views of some Republican voters, whom he said had told him: “Well, I don’t know whether I want brown grandbabies.”
He added: “I also happen to believe that the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation.
“That’s one of the things I’ve been saying for a long time.
“You know, that they ought not to be just codified in their communities but make sure that all their kids are learning to speak English, and that they feel comfortable in the communities.”
I live in a heavily Hispanic area because my state government, without asking me, offered those south of Texas in-state rates for Deltech AND made college campi in Delaware something called “sanctuary campi”.
The children of Hispanics must speak English at school and in due course the parents and grandparents learn and the children, for a while, serve as interpreters.
Tom Brokow, as he has proven with his lying life, is a bit off.
As for that bit about brown grandbabies, come on. There’s nuts everywhere but it’s hardly any big problem.
“I will fight against any effort by President Trump to use an “emergency” action to fund the wall.
As I paraphrase.
HEY MARCO!!! WE LOVE YOUR LOYAL SELF, GUY.
There are few people who ever believed he didn’t like little boys.
I always wondered why so many parent allowed their young boys to hang around with that pervert.
And Jackson often did these documentaries where his home was depicted as a big playground, complete with Merry Go Round and a small zoo.
Jackson said he just wanted to be a kid with those boys and sometimes they had sleepovers together but it was all in fun.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To some extent, we as a society have set aside the many horrific and entirely credible claims against Jackson simply because we want them not to be true; for the same reason, Bill Cosby got a pass for a surprisingly long time. Jackson’s unfortunate early demise, his apparent closeted homosexuality, and his wounded, childlike nature have made fans fiercely protective of him, with the media largely sidestepping the issue since he died in 2009. What punishment can be visited upon him posthumously? Should he be erased from the culture the way Cosby has been? Should radio stations and deejays stop playing his many great records the way broadcasters have stopped airing The Cosby Show? I’m not sure they should. But the label of serial child molester must be forever attached to Michael Jackson’s name. It should be reiterated constantly like an anti-honorific, the way we take care to refer to President Carter or General MacArthur.
The State of the Union is scheduled for 2/5/19.
This will be one of the most provocative SOTU’s ever.
Does anyone think he won’t take many digs at Nancy Pelosi as she sits on the dais behind him?

Come o n. Our gubmint is not “Weekend at Bernies”. I am not declaring Justice Ginsberg dead just yet but it’s very obvious that she is unable to work.
Ordinary people like you and I are declared disabled and forced to retire when we are unable to do our jobs, after a sick leave as in the business rules.
But when you are a Justice on the Supreme court….or a congress critter like Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who voted while another senator held up his arm…..you get to work even while badly disabled, even dead, who knows.
Where the hell is Ruth Ginsberg? Why aren’t our Republican congress critters demanding an answer?

More than a year after the FBI began its investigation, the agency has completed an analysis of the man behind the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting in Las Vegas, concluding there was “no single or clear motivating factor” driving Stephen Paddock’s killing rampage and subsequent suicide.
The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit shared key findings Tuesday from the report, which explored details of Paddock’s developmental, interpersonal and clinical history as they related to his behavior before the attack, as well the 11-minute massacre, during which he killed 58 concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest festival and injured nearly 1,000 others.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Paddock’s father was a bank robber and once on the FBI most wanted list.
That seems to me to be a very pertinent fact.
On 10/1/2017 Stephen Paddock shot and killed 58 people attending a concert near the Las Vegas hotel where Paddock was staying.
Nobody seems to know why he did it,.
Some investigator speculation was that Paddock wanted to commit suicide and wanted to go out in infamy.
I suppose this is a reason….of sorts.
And do not forget the wonderful, glorious FBI did the investigation.
Look at how well that organization is handling the Russian investigation.
People all across the fruited plains are in shock over the recent abortion law passed in New York and considered for Virginia.
A baby can be killed the same day it is born?
In fact, I see this country in speechless shock over this.
Of course I do not speak to everyone in the country. But, well I am of the common people. Thus I have this common sense things our elite rulers do not possess.
Killing off our own species?
Average people across the fruited plains are awed by the horror of it.
I’m betting, come on place your bets, but I am betting that either this is overturned by the Supreme Court.
Don’t know how but I see this new abortion rule as going down. Might take a while, a year perhaps.
I predict this will not remain.
Every persecuted minority, be it beaten wife or heavily ruled populace, reaches a point.
Please God, let this be our point.
Caramel Macchiato.
Indeed it costs a fortune and I’m not a fan of standing in coffee shop lines, but Starbucks has a Caramel Macchiato coffee that is to die for.
Coffee is a sacred brew. Let us pause and give respect.
I think Schulze is a bit of okay.
And I think with the Democrats going nuts over in the corner and killing our babies, well why can’t Schultze be a liberal Trump?
Our Ruling Class doesn’t like it when we elect a non-political type, especially one who has been successful in private life….curses upon them.
I don’t agree with a single thing Schultze said during a recent interview, I forget who.
But he knew his stuff, he clawed his way to the top, the Ruling Elite is going to hate him….that genius female they elected in New York, the one with the entire alphabet in her name….she chastised Schultze should start with city council.
Girl, no one on any city council anywhere ever invented a caramel macchiato.
Schultze ended this interview with semi-sarcastic humor. When asked about President Trump’s texts….he said….”I’m a bit tired of Trump’s texts.”
Yeah, it was nasty but he said it loud and proud and hey, while we wouldn’t have it any other way, there’s a time or two we’ve gotten tired of his texts.
VA Governor Ralph Northam is in a bit of trouble, eh?
First the guy launches into some soliloquy about how kind and harmless death at birth can be.
Then somebody found a picture in this guy’s 1984 yearbook with him either covered in blackface or wearing a KKK white robe.
You can’t see that person’s face in the picture, so I am told. But the Democrat party wants him to resign for wearing such racist attire.
How silly a country we live in. Of course it was dumb for anybody to wear a KKK robe, for any reason. And 1984 ain’t exactly the 60’s. What the hell were they thinking?
But folks, we all make mistakes. We should not have to quit for something we did almost 40 years ago. Northam has apologized profusely.
Truth is the Democrats are furious over Northam’s silly spiel telling us how we’d keep the infant comfortable before killing it.
The Dems are suffering for that NY abortion thing.
It’s going to bring them all down.
Heh.
I’ll believe that when I see it.
On a personal note…..last week I went on and on about blood thinners, green vegetables and dizziness that had me almost passing out with projectile vomiting.
So I went to see the Cardio guy who assures me, ASSURES ME I TELL YOU, that the scrip Eliquis is NOT causing what he now calls my vertigo. He tells me I can eat all the green vegetables I want with Eliquis.
He tells me that when folks get older they get what is called “calcium deposits” in or around their ear and mouth. He did order a blood test for me and he wants me to see an Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat guy.
I am still not totally sure he is right but he seems absolutely sure.
For now, I am feeling very well this past week.
But then again I didn’t eat any green stuff.
Wish me luck with this vertigo. Cardio guys says cardio won’t kill me or cause a stroke but I could fall down in my dizziness.
I have no idea what a lance corporal is but folks, this girl is really rocking it. She told me that everyone is waiting for her to drop out. Instead she got this promotion, she was chosen to lead the Marine drill team at a recent exercise. She is scheduled to go to Quantico for two weeks this summer.
She rocks that long hair of hers, having to wear it pulled back and slicked down. She cannot wear any makeup or jewelry when in uniform.
Go to hell.
My granddaughter the marine.
You can’t make it up.
I think the SOTU speech will be one for the ages. I hear all the Rat women are going to appear in white ( identifying themselves with the suffragette movement). One of the Rats is inviting an illegal alien who was fired for working with illegal papers, at a Trump golf facility. Maybe POTUS should find the person whose SSN she stole, and bring that person to the speech. Or maybe have an ICE official standing by to detain her once she leaves the room. Watching Nancy do her facial contortions should be a hoot. May need to have a doctor standing by.
Hey, just back from early mass...
Our born and raised in Poland parish priest, Father Matteus Radzuk, who has his own web site and youtube channel (https://vessel4him.net/), gave an excellent homily this morning about children—abortion and pedophilia. He quted Scripture about Jesus’s comments about a millstone around their necks and flung into the sea, and stated EVERYONE in the Church, from the highest level to the bottom, needs to speak out about these things. He further said, paraphrasing, “That those who say nothing are complicit in this evil and condemn themselves. Not God condemning, but by their own hand.”
I was quite please. I think I’ll drop by and show him Free Republic!
