Whoever the social media coordinator for the Padres is is about to get into a WORLD of sh*t with their bosses. They only have 400K followers which is a low amount for an MLB team but organizations like this treat their social media like currency, and as they should. This account is worth a LOT of money to the Padres. Which brings me to my next point: how much money are you holding out for from the Padres if you’re Ricky Padilla here? $10K? $100K? I mean the Padres just threw $300MM at Manny Machado without batting an eye and...

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris went to great lengths to avoid agreeing with President Donald Trump on trade policy during a CNN interview that aired Sunday morning. Harris skated around the questions — she focused on how trade deals favor large corporations at the expense of the middle class — from anchor Jake Tapper during the interview that was taped in Oakland, California, earlier in the week.

Over the past two days, nearly every major media outlet reported that the Trump administration either objected to or "diluted" a United Nations resolution condemning rape as a weapon of war. "US threatens to veto UN resolution on rape as weapon of war, officials say," a headline from The Guardian read. "UN waters down rape resolution to appease US's hardline abortion stance," read a second article in The Guardian. "United States dilutes UN rape-in-war resolution," read the headline from the BBC. "Trump administration forces UN to water down resolution opposing rape in war," was the headline from the Independent. "The...

The Washington Post reports that a 23-year-old would-be armed robber has died after sustaining injuries to the head when his victim fought back with a large rock. The Post says that two men from the DMV area, Tauron Williamson, 23, and Tyron Wheeler, 22, were trying to rob two men on April 22. Wheeler was able to shoot one of the men, but the second victim fought back and evaded injury from the aggressors. At first, authorities believed that Williamson had been shot, but an autopsy showed his death was due to being pummeled on the head with blunt force....

After self-declared interim President of Venezuela Juan Guaido failed in calling on his nation’s military to oust dictator Nicolas Maduro, the attempted revolt appeared to have been strangled in the cradle. Only a handful of military leaders came over to his side and the civilian protests in the major cities fizzled for the most part. Guaido himself still hasn’t been arrested, but his deputy and several other opposition party leaders in the National Assembly have been locked up. This week, Guaido seemed to be getting a bit more nervous and he sent out an even more emphatic “invitation” to the...

Pam Keith, a former Democrat candidate for Congress in Florida, is openly calling for women to stop having sex with conservative men.____ Keith jumped to her Twitter account with the quixotic demand that women should boycott sexual relations with all conservative men: Ladies: STOP having sex w/conservative men TOTAL COMPLETE SEX BOYCOTT. Don’t let them anywhere near you. Give them the hand and keep it moving. Get a B.O.B. But make it a rule to run, not walk, from men who want to steal your agency over yourself & your life. That’s it. Keith’s latest tweet, though, seems to be...

The truth is getting too close Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.—Pema Chodron The Democrats’ objection to Trump is not merely political opposition. This is something very different. Many of us who have been around for a while will say they have never seen such determination and persistence to rid themselves of a president. It is reminiscent of the election of 1860. And that did not end well. Democrats are scared. They have lost control of a government that was supposed to have protected them. Their protection now is either buried within the swamp or...

Can't help it guys. The songs are out there. Kingston Trios "Greenback Dollar". Millers "King of the Road" On this Mother's day I don't think the women in their lives would be proud of them. They're not good enough to turn good women into moms and the best that can be said is that they are totally free. The Sit-in' on the Dock of The Bay fella probably needed a bath too. Did these guys have bad mamas? Can't think of other songs.

From Poison Berries, to English Longbowmen and a new Elixir of Health Yew bushes are quite common in gardens as ornamental shrubs and hedges. They are liked for being hardy, and soil and moisture tolerant evergreens. In addition, the have nice red berries in the fall. Please note: the orange/red juicy fruits are quite palatable but have poisonous seeds in the center. Their poison was already known two millennia ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxus_baccata ) and appeared to be the choice of soldiers to die when not wanting to fall alive into the hands of the enemy.

In an upside down world we now have “Fake” News, “UN-News as dictated by the Harvard Library and Poynter Institute Conservative hit lists and the “Not” News presented by FoxNews. One man, supposedly a supporter of both President Donald Trump and Democrat NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and what she “presumed to be his teenage son,” left a small sign on the wall outside the office of publicity hound AOC—and this is news?! Not only is this NOT NEWS, it’s being paraded as front page news on Fox. It’s now Anything Goes for ‘News’ delivered over the Information Highway on an...

FULL TITLE: Dan Bongino Slams ‘Weak’ Richard Burr: He’s a ‘Fake Republican,’ Committee’s Really Run by ‘Dr. Evil’ Mark Warner ‘I think they are afraid the I.G. report, it will look really ugly’ RUSH EXCERPT: BONGINO: “Don junior should tell them to go, they must the memo?

Here’s what’s really going on, judge Richard, the Republican chairman of the Senate committee has been called junior’s meek. He’s always been weak. He’s a fake...

In memory of Gail Gillespie “Gee Gee” Reed, June 10, 1945 — June 10, 2018 On that sunny morning as I sipped coffee and watched yellow daffodils in the back yard, tossing their heads in sprightly dance, my thoughts were not on life bursting forth on that spring day, but on death. A year had passed since cancer ended my mother’s life. While gazing at pictures of her on the breakfast table, a quote came to mind: “Little things make big things happen.” Once when I asked Dad, a college English teacher, why the quote was taped to his laptop,...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that the Robert Mueller's Russia probe is an example of why the U.S. should not have special prosecutors and pointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) as "truly unconstitutional and the root of the problem we should be addressing." "I think since the very beginning this has been politically motivated and now both sides are doing it," he told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week." "It goes back to the Clintons." Paul said that because the Mueller report found no evidence of an underlying crime, the "best thing we can do at this...

It indeed behooves the Church's episcopal body to take a closer look at the 2013 papal election, since we may very well be witnessing the fulfillment of the prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi concerning a false shepherd With theologians and bishops aghast over what some are calling ‘the most terrible schism the world has ever seen,’ it behooves the Catholic hierarchy to take a closer look at the 2013 papal election since it appears to have raised to the Chair of Peter “a man, not canonically elected.” To recap, on the eve of the 2013 conclave, Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez...

WARNING: Tyson Foods plans $300 million meat packaging plant in Provo, Utah, with the promise of 800-1200 new jobs Why is this dangerous for local residents of Provo? Because Tyson’s, like most meat packing plants in America, seek out and hire cheap immigrant labor, the vast majority of whom now are Somali Muslims. FCC Some locations in the US have successfully fought the company and saved their towns, others caved to the pressure from Chambers of Commerce and globalist big business interests and their communities were never the same again. Graffiti discovered at Tyson’s meat packing plant Tyson Fresh Meats,...

Apparently, the intelligence the Trump administration either gathered on its own or received via Israel regarding Iran’s intent to strike American interests in the Middle East in response to new sanctions was pretty solid. That would explain the shifting of a tremendous amount of military assets and firepower to the region that is currently underway. As Reuters reports, the Trump administration is warning American merchant ships of Iran’s possible intentions as well, even as a top cleric in Tehran threatened the U.S. fleet: Iran could target U.S. commercial ships including oil tankers, the U.S. Maritime Administration said on Friday, as...

Leftist War Against Donald Trump As America’s 44th, Barack Hussein Obama made untold millions of dollars by hating America. No one could stop Obama from his visceral hatefest; no one could lay a glove on him because doing so would label them forever a racist. In the present day, Progressive and Social Justice Democrats are making millions openly hating President Donald Trump. Ditto for their mainstream social media and Entertainment Industry surrogates.
