Someone let me know if Spicer and Preibus on ABC and CBS destroy the libs and traitorous Pubbies McConnell and McCain.
Is Wallace going to apologize for using that fake picture to accuse Trump of having a small crowd?
Good morning ladies and gems! Good morning AB and, as always, thank you for doing this thread regularly on a weekly basis that I can awake and join in with little effort. Thank you Bray for weekly wisdom and thank all yon commenters for fleshing out the stupidity from the wisdom.
Week Just Passed
Well just wow. President Trump is certainly working hard, goodness. Does anybody remember President Obama working so hard, even on weekends? All I recall is pictures of him on the golf course.
The other big news is the threat to look into voter fraud. THAT bit of news has the Democrats shaking in boots, as well it should. I hope Trump doesn’t drop this plan because voter fraud is rampant and not once, not one single damn time last week, did I heard about the Russians stealing our election, what silliness was that?
My dogs tell me, however, that the Russians did poop in the hallways so let’s not allow them off scot free.
I do NOT believe that Hillary won the popular vote and I think the genius of launching a nationwide investigation into elections will stop those nuts from constantly telling us Hillary won the popular vote.
If she did, so what?
But she did not. Period.
Finally, today there is a big deal going on at airports because some asshole federal judge put some kind of stay on sending or holding illegal aliens held because of Trump’s executive order.
Is this going to go on every time Trump does something? A bunch of nuts are going to go on some kind of riot?
Soon, folks, soon there will be a civil war. Given the right circumstances, the perfect storm if you will….like that horrible woman who humiliated herself on that airplane, the people are going to take action.
No, I don’t want that happen. But this descent into anarchy has got to stop.
On a Personal Note
I am in a good mood today because I went to church yesterday and prayed dearly for God to send me a smile, just one smile.
So I go home and because my phone was on silent in church I had a bunch of messages. One was from my granddaughter, who I called back and who told me she was my favorite granddaughter. I told her she was my favorite kid on the whole planet but for the record, heh, she is my only granddaughter.
Oh, and by the way, did anybody read President Trump’s admonition about Dreamers? To the effect that if they’ve been good citizens and are currently living a law-abiding life, that they shouldn’t worry too much.
Again, I’ll not argue with anyone on this matter because it ain’t going to happen.
But Beelow, my Dreamer (who swears to me he is legal so don’t go beating up on the guy, I don’t know and frankly, don’t want to know) tenant, sends me a text message which made me smile.
“Miss Path,” he writes as he always calls me Path. Then he invites me over at 9pm because he is having some kind of party that would include “roasted meat”.
I’m thinking this is maybe some big Guatamalan holiday but dear Lord no way I am going to join a bunch of Guatamalans for a party, even with whatever the hell is this roasted meat. Last week Beelow sent me over a plate of food, which was delicious but dear Lord the fish still had the head on it! I took the head off and yeah, I ate it.
Anyway, last week was a WINNING week!
First was my neighbor on my right. I go on Facebook and she has a picture of herself wearing a shirt with Trump on the front, a MAGA hat on her head, flags on her shirt.
I was shocked. She never so much as displayed a sign on her lawn and more, never indicated she was much into politics. She does, however and insert smile here, read everything I write on Blog, Facebook and yeah, she read all my books.
So I stop by on my way to mailbox and told her how surprised I was. My goodness she jumps up and down and tells me how happy she is to have Trump win. On and on we discussed politics and what a joy.
She too knows Beelow, I might add, and tells me how she doesn’t think he should be exported and further, she really needs him to come over and rake her leaves.
Best of all is the veterinarian. Y’all might remember this Vet, handsome guy who really seems to have some sort of fondness for me although know that I am probably ten years younger than him.
Heh, this is the Vet who put his fingers on my back and rubbed them around lightly, some crazy attempt to show me how fleas feel on a dog’s back.
Anyway, this Vet went on and on about Trump, how much he loves him. Another reminder, he and his brother are very active in Sussex county politics.
He told me how he admires Kellyann Conway, how much Trump is going to do to make things better. Guy spent a half hour just talking politics with me. My dogs were in the room, who have fleas by the way in the middle of January, what’s up with that?
Hey, people are happy out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs.
President Trump is going to drain that swamp. The people are happy. The rioters will not win.
Hmm. CNN seems to have trouble booking guests from the Trump Administration. Wonder why. LOL.
Just checked to see which show Juan McCain is on, not if he is on one of them.
Morning Folks
Thanks for the thread AB, and thank God for President Trump.
Only real suspense of the day is, which one wears a special hat or costume to show support of the womyn's march? It's an open question when Lindsay Graham is not in the mix.
bookmarked for later
Thank you and good morning! Have a wonderful week!
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???
Are they going to ask Turban Durbin about his gangbanger murderers in gun-free Chicago?
Are they going to ask Tim Kaine if he's the reason Hilary lost, and if it was really Mexicans that hacked the election?
Are they going to ask John McAnus about his role in creating ISIS and destabilizing the Middle East?
Are they going to ask Keith Ellison if he fears being deported?
No....probably not.
Wallace has some fake stats showing an equal number of Christians were brought in. There were plenty of stats showing 1% were Christians.
He is back to his fake news tactics.
Juan McStain without Linda?
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Reince Priebus, chief of staff to President Donald Trump; Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.
Chuck Todd wants more countries added to the list!
Reince Priebus thinks it might be a good suggestion going forward.
No,thank you. I do not watch nor listen to the mainstream media nor their affiliates.
Why do republicans always let the democrats have the last word on these shows?
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Reince Priebus, chief of staff to President Donald Trump; Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va, Panel.
Another easy summary, Priebus is nit-picked about nuances like who isn’t on the temporary ban; Kaine could easily fit on a everyday CNN panel; the panel could easily be an everyday CNN panel.
[If you never seen a CNN panel they usually plant every Democrat talking point possible and some try to super-hype the base; an aside, Lindsey Graham has never spoke out before about high taxes on alcohol, he could have got his tequila even cheaper...(all this made me anxious for...Sunday Morning Futures(Foxnews)].
THIS WEEK (ABC): Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Only observation here is the host, Martha Raddazt, did she learn anything after her co-failing performance with Anderson Cooper hosting a Presidential debate? Might have been the worst debate of the 3, remembering all the praise for the Chris Wallace one...
Clueless and offensive.
It's only matched by the idiocy of Todd's 'balanced panel' that is comprised of 100% Trump haters. Chuck Todd doesn't get 'diversity' of ideas... What a fool.
When Trump’s eight years are over we need to run Reince Priebus... he’s amazing.
President Trump is not suspending visas from countries his team selected, they are simply suspending visa approval from countries President Obama selected. Additionally, Trump is suspending ALL visa applications from those countries – nothing to do with Muslim applications.
• In 2013 President Obama suspended refugees from Iraq for six months. • In 2015 Congress passed, and Obama signed, a law restricting visas from states of concern; • and in 2016 Obama’s DHS, Jeh Johnson, expanded those restrictions. …. all President Trump is doing is taking the same action as Obama 2013, and applying Visa restrictions to the nation states Obama selected in 2015 and 2016.
From the Executive order:
[…] to ensure the proper review and maximum utilization of available resources for the screening of foreign nationals, and to ensure that adequate standards are established to prevent infiltration by foreign terrorists or criminals, pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), I hereby proclaim that the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order (excluding those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas).

U.S.C.1187 Law Link Here
The President Obama Department of Homeland Security already targeted those seven listed countries for the past several years as nations of concern.
In February of 2016 the Department of Homeland Security announced that was continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of additional concern.
DHS: “limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” DHS noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.”
President Trump is carrying out an executive action in support of the US Customs and Border Protection Act of 2015, which relates to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. President Trump did not select seven countries – the US Congress and Obama’s Department of Homeland Security had singled out these countries.
Nowhere in President Trump’s executive order does he single out any country for VISA suspension. Instead what his XO does is say he’s suspending visa approvals from countries already outlined by the Obama administration as representing a specific threat such that they were categorized for extreme visa vetting by: 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)
