You stole my use for WFTD! I just listed to Bibi cajoling the AIPAC audience. He’s good at it. Didn’t I hear that he and Ted Cruz were roommates and.or debate partners at Harvard?

Never heard that. I knew Mitt Romney and Bibi were old friends from their early careers.

"... Bibi is cajoling Americans in his first speech.

Actually Obama is cajoling his base that it is all right for Iran to have nuclear weapons/the bomb...and that it is all right for Israel to be the continued target for the Palestinian rockets....and yes it was perfectly all right for Bowie Bergdahl to be exchanged for 5 top detainees, enemy detainees from Git-Mo...Bibi cajoling? Hardly.

The only insincerity from Bibi, is that he held back any harsh language for Obama and his minions. He has a strong moral fiber to do that, because he must be disgusted with them. So, in a way you are correct. Bibi had them all panting, then he held back whatever Obama fears. I suspect he is an artist at outmaneuvering fools like Obama.

A+++

I am conflating Netanyahu and Alan Dershhhowitz who claimed that Cruz was the smartest student he ever had. I am reading too much!

No sunshine or warmth here-it is 45 and it started drizzling off and on just before noon, shutting down work...

Hillary is busted yet again
For being in her usual role-
Squirreling away the money
That Bill manages to cajole

From all the foreign donors
Who want a favor or three-
If the two return to the WH
It will be bad for you and me

All those foreign countries
Will grab a piece of our pie
We won’t be making one dime
And it will be useless to try

I sent a text to my Calidaughter about the blizzard we had on Sunday, which dropped a good 6+ inches. She said hurry up and come out....I told her I was on my way. I cannot wait to see the surprised look on her face when she sees me walk in and yell surprise! Her fiance is off work for a bit with a second broken elbow. First one, then the other. What’s up with that....one was last spring. He didn’t even wait a year to do it again. Guess he will have time for my visit. I just fear my daughter will panic and pick up an extra shift to pay for the wedding and leave me stranded.

How is the weather in your part of the world? Here, tomorrow is supposed to be warmer but more rain, then another cold front on Tuesday with more rain, maybe snow on Wednesday, no sun, more cold-more rain, rain, rain. I’m having flashbacks to visiting MrT5’s relatives in Seattle and Canada...

A+++ Oh, yeah.....Hillary is coming out next month. Wonder what all is in that closet that will pop out when she opens the door.
