It is hard to get over 5% fraud w/o getting caught.
Pelosi is so consumed by her hatred for POTUS, his accomplishments, and his vision for this country , that I doubt she even considers her own mortality. She said in a recent interview( forgot where it was ) that it is possible she could become President in a contested election.
She looks drugged to me. I have noted dilated pupils, inability to get her words out, unsteady gait etc.
I saw as many of you did, the rage in her eyes as she her ripped up POTUS’s State of the Union Speech.
I get such a sense of malevolency emanating from her, that I cannot watch her for any length of time.
I like Amy Barret but don’t we have enough Catholics on the SC? When are we going to get a Protestant/Evangelical to balance things out?
She was Jewish, so it’s Prophet Ruth, not Saint Ruth (not disparaging Ruth of the Old Testament).
Peelosi told little Georgie Steponallofus this morning that she could impeach Pres. Trump again to prevent a SCOTUS nomination and vote!!!!
Just reread the Constitution.
found this:
Article II
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
Section 2
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
So now doing his job is a high crime and misdemeanor? Who knew?!
Out here it's west Texans on the southern end of the Ogallaha aquifer. Interesting that the TX-NM state line is defined from the air by green farms in Texas and brown landscape in New Mexico. Five miles east of me there are cotton farms with large modern gins where here it's mesquite. The reason is state law - in New Mexico groundwater is owned and apportioned for use by the state whereas in Texas he who owns the land owns the water. Texas will pump for crops like cotton until it runs out in 20 or 30 years or less, while New Mexico, which has a much more meager supply to start with limits use. And we fight in the federal courts with Texas about surface water use and depletion from the Pecos and Rio Grande rivers both of which flow into Texas from New Mexico.
Exceptional post and sentiments. And spot on.
Interesting choice of words from Pelosi:
“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss...”
Is deranged Nancy suggesting a kill shot?
The ravages of syphilis?
You are so right regarding China’s influence buying power. Through the past few years they have managed to funnel billions of dollars in trade surplus from the United States back to the elite class. College professors, attorneys, military brass, politicians, never Trumpers, scientists, silicon execs, NBA players and executives, and yes Biden, Pelosi and Obama to name just a few.
Trump has been very effective in taming China through tariffs and other negotiations so much so that China committed an act of war by unleashing Covid19 on the USA to kill our economy.
This November we will find out if China has done enough to end our freedoms forever.

Great question bud.I’m not up on either candidate. But I’m sure someone else here is. I’d be interested to know the skinny on both women.
Maybe kabar,pugmama.
He really looks, and sounds, bad.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
She could be but we already know she had tried that numerous times.
I am so sorry. I didn’t know you lived along the Gulf.
Maybe “happy” wasn’t the word to describe because as I heard the impending devastation about to come upon the Gulf and surrounding states, I felt so sorry.
We’ve had years when five straight hurricanes hit us along the east coast, both when I lived in Maryland and here in Delaware.
I kept hearing about Alabama getting hit. Don’t tell AB I said this but I had no idea Alabama was anywhere near any kind of body of water that would allow a hurricane to enter.
Hope all is well with you and still appreciate your efforts in helping all through some really bad weather.
Trump considering Florida justice Barbara Lagoa to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She sounds like a very interesting POTUS pick for his short list.
Miami Herald.........By Michael Van Sickler/ Updated Yesterday
It’s been a dizzying climb for Lagoa, 52, who only last year was appointed by Trump to her current position on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
[object Object]
Gov. Ron DeSantis and Barbara Lagoa, who is the first Hispanic nominated by President Donald Trump to be confirmed for a U.S. Court of Appeals vacancy out of 48 judges.
Within hours of the news on Friday that Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, the name of a Florida justice who has rocketed to the top of the legal profession in the past year was reported to be on President Donald Trump’s short list for replacements.
Multiple news outlets were reporting that Federal Appeals Court Judge Barbara Lagoa of Florida, a Columbia Law School grad and first generation Cuban-American, was a top contender, along with Federal Appeals Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett out of Chicago.
It’s been a dizzying climb for Lagoa, 52, who only last year was appointed by Trump to her current position on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, which oversees Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Only months before that appointment, Lagoa was tapped by a key Trump ally, Gov. Ron DeSantis, to sit on the Florida Supreme Court, where she became first Cuban American woman to sit on the high court.
Although Lagoa has less than a year on the federal bench, she has other qualities that might make her an attractive pick for Trump, said Carl Tobias, a constitutional law professor at the University of Richmond.
“She’s had a fast ascent,” Tobias said. “Two key factors are that she’s Cuban American, and that’s an important voting bloc in Florida, and Trump doesn’t win the White House without Florida.”
She’s also a member of the Federalist Society, a group of conservatives and libertarians that push for a strict reading of the U.S. Constitution that adheres to the original text of the document. All of the judges Trump is considering for the Supreme Court abide by this approach.

Lagoa has been well served by Republicans. She was appointed to Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal in 2006 by another Republican governor — Jeb Bush.
Previously, Lagoa worked at the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Before that, as a private lawyer, she was part of the legal team seeking to prevent the return to Cuba of Elián González, the Cuban boy who was at the center of a controversial international custody dispute in 2000.
She’s married to Paul Huck Jr., an attorney and the son of Miami federal judge Paul Huck Sr. She and her husband have three daughters.
Her parents fled Cuba over five decades ago when Fidel Castro’s Communist dictatorship took over. During the 2019 news conference in Miami announcing her appointment to the Supreme Court, Lagoa told the crowd that her father had to give up his “dream of becoming a lawyer” because of Castro.
Lagoa grew up in Hialeah, graduated from Florida International University and got her law degree at Columbia University, where she served as an associate editor of the Columbia Law Review.
With less than a year at the federal level, Lagoa may be able to dodge a contentious confirmation hearing. Barrett, by contrast, has been an outspoken on a number of issues, including abortion.
“(Lagoa) has a lot of state court experience, and you don’t have a lot of hot button issues there as you do in an appeals court,” Tobias said. “She doesn’t have much of a federal record at all.”
But there is her record on felon voting rights.
Earlier this month, Lagoa sided with the majority in a noteworthy case that might come up during confirmation. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled 6-4 to uphold a Florida law requiring that felons who have completed their sentences must pay all court fees, fines and restitution before they are eligible to vote. Some likened that requirement to voter suppression.
But last year, Lagoa had a relatively trouble-free confirmation, Tobias said. While her 11th Circuit nomination was confirmed by a Senate vote of 80-15 on Nov. 20, Barrett passed in 2017 with a tighter 55-43 margin.
“Lagoa’s confirmation went much more smoothly than Barrett’s did,” Tobias said. “In a way, this Senate has already signed off on (Lagoa) with a strong vote.”
At the Florida Third District Court of Appeal, she wrote an opinion reversing the conviction of Adonis Losada, a former Univision comic actor sentenced to 153 years in prison for collecting child porn. Lagoa ruled that a Miami-Dade judge erred in not allowing Losada to defend himself at trial.
She was one of three judges who allowed a Miami judge to close a courtroom to the public for a key hearing in a high-profile murder case. The Third District Court of Appeal ruled that publicity surrounding the machete murder of a student in Homestead might unfairly sway jurors at a future trial, a ruling decried by advocates of press freedoms.
