Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out. Cbolt is the commenter of choice today.
Below is my daily summary of last week’s events. It’s kind of long so scroll on by if no time. But please to stay around and participate in the thread’s topic.
Tuesday-date- Daily Update-5/30/17
The NY Times tells us that Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, was dealing with the Russians to get a private phone line between Moscow and D.C.
The NY Times tells us that Trump is ready to fire his own son-in-law.
This morning we learn, on Fox News, that Trump is very pleased with his son-in-law and that it was the Russians who proposed a sole phone line between the two super powers.
As if no other administration ever did this, give me a break. And somebody please put those liars at the NY Times out of business.
Bull hockey.
I don’t know what happened to Tiger Woods, a fellow with a happening life, money, beautiful wife and children.
A sex and alcohol addiction seem to be taking it all away.
Perhaps Tiger should get on his knees and pray for some divine help.
Wednesday-date-5/31/17
Daily Update
Kathy Griffin’s photo and fake apology.
Of course her apology was fake.
This whole stupid stunt was orchestrated to have it turn out just like it did. I am so glad that President Trump himself sent out a tweet this morning saying his young son was greatly upset over the pic.
Well what kid would want to see such a picture of their father?
Kathy Griffin is a nothing burger of a human who did this to give herself exposure. She’s not funny, she’s not clever, she’s never had a sincere moment in her life.
And yeah I realize that here I am writing about this loser so she sort of won as some might argue.
Everyone and everything has a point. It’s a point where those affected demand that it STOP, that these offenses against yourselves, humanity, social order…..HAVE TO STOP.
I don’t know how we’re going to stop it but it will involve the activation of decent Americans across this country, perhaps work stoppages, perhaps marches, perhaps some group action that will shock the economy as to our importance compared to some kind of loser who couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag.
Kathy Griffin is nothing but another rung in the ladder to putting decent Americans to that sacred point.
Then everybody must stand back and respect that which was meant to be.
Thursday-date-6/1/17
Daily Update
Yes Hillary Clinton is still around and yesterday she accused us all of misogyny, or hatred of women. She said her email kerfluffle was a big nothing-burger…OH NO IT WASN’T MRS. CLINTON!
You set up your own email server in your bathroom because you didn’t want US to see any illegal stuff you were sending, US, the citizens, the people, we who would not approve of giving 20% of our uranium to Russia and how much did the Clinton Foundation charge them?
You must think, Mrs. Clinton, that we were all born at night, last night.
So President Trump uses the word COVERAGE and like these systems are wont to do, and we’ve all been there, the operating system inserts the word COVFEFE!
What a hoot. Of course the media goes nuts accusing Trump of inventing words and being stupid.
Here’s my question….can anyone imagine President Hillary doing such a thing? Would she send out some laughs about it? Or would she call us all misogynists, unable to see and appreciate her genius?
My goodness I listened to that speech overview of the Paris Accord by President Trump and with my jaw on the floor I wanted to scream WHO THE HELL AGREED TO THAT THING?
It is nothing more than a re-distribution of wealth with America doing all the giving.
No wait! The Obama administration agreed to that thing!
No surprise there. If Iran offered President Obama and Sec. Hillary Clinton a couple trillion bucks to buy the entire country of the United States they would sell it in a minute, have it notarized and everything.
Senator Schumer says Trump threw the planet in the trash.
I don’t believe for one second there is global warming caused by human activity. The weather might be on a warming trend, though I’ve so much that says no, but it’s not because of mankind.
And China and India got 20 years to work on their carbon emissions….why? THEY are the worst at it, NOT AMERICA!
Well thank God we got a President who is looking out for America, and NOT how much money he can get for it.
Why can’t she go away? All the political pundits think she should go away. I think she should go away, give her New York and send her off to live happily ever after.

Kathy Griffin’s Magnificent “Stage”
“All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare wrote. And we, as the Bard went on, are the audience.
Anybody believes that lying crying jag by Kathy after sobbing that President Trump, his young son Barron and his wife Melania are bullying her.
Of course we must laugh, as Shakespeare instructed us to do. You cause yourself a hell of a grief then blame the ones you hurt.
It’s cool as all get out and I’ll not condemn this actress who planned it this way all along.
Here’s how it went:
Valerie Jarret’s protégé smile at Griffin and nodded yes.
“Look, we need more people hurt by Trump,” the stage director said. “And we have to create them because we’re out of fat Miss Universe’s and tapes depicting Trump touching female private parts. Hillary’s losing the female support in the resistance and if she loses that we’re all toast.”
“But suppose I get in trouble? Suppose the secret service comes after me?”
“Look we got Gloria Allred’s daughter for your lawyer. We got press conferences lined up. We’ve notified the media. We knew Trump would react to this prank so we work from that.”
But Griffin’s following the script and we’ll see how well she does.
But if anybody believes any of this wasn’t orchestrated with a well-conceived plan, I got a bridge to sell….cheap. Sways a bit in the wind but cheap….real cheap.
On a personal note……
Vietnam
I saw the B-52 airplane wreckage on an Amazing Race episode and my blood ran cold.
Vietnam.
It changed my life.
Horrifically.
And I sat with the fellow doing my nails, in a salon devoted to such things. He is from Vietnam.
“Do you remember anything about the war?” I asked my nail technician, with several others standing around, just conversing.
One of the young women said they don’t remember the war but her grandmother does and tells her all about it.
They don’t remember.
They do American’s finger and toe nails, they live a nice life, they have adorable children.
I, meanwhile, had my life turned upside down and inside out because of Vietnam.
Me and my first husband, my childhood sweetheart I’ve known since I was 14, grew up dealing with Vietnam.
They drafted people in those days, does anyone remember that?
His name was Rick and we got married. This was right AFTER the ban against drafting married men was lifted. Rick and I lived, shivered, cried and shook with fear of him being drafted.
Oh, and does anyone remember the great birthday lottery?
Heh.
They pulled out dates and in the birthdate order as drawn from a bucket, NOT a lottery anyone wanted to win.
Rick and I, insert smile here, were both born on the exact same day. I remember crossing my fingers with each withdrawal of a date.
June 26 was like one of the first 20 dates pulled.
Rick was, for sure, going to be drafted.
It wasn’t that me, nor Rick, did not want to serve the country. But Vietnam was handled so badly, so very badly, by the politicos in charge, as wars always are. Young men were dying for no reason save President Johnson call a cease fire and only the Americans ceased firing.
If one is going to put one’s life on the line, it’s beneficial to have a commander in chief who cares about OUR soldiers, not the next election.
Rick’s parents offered to send Rick to Canada for most of America was against that war. Rick said he was going to go.
I cried and fretted but no, I could not leave my country. I’d lived in America all my life; I loved America.
Rick left me.
My heart was so broken it took me years to recover.
I became a hippie and woman’s libber. I sang in the rain and I marched in protest.
Yeah, I began my life as a political junkee.
And to see a wrecked American plane posed as a proud monument in Vietnam, where America ran from like wimps, also broke my heart a little bit.
Well we sure lost that war but I lost so much, so very much. That war occupied my life completely for over ten years.
Now I watch a reality show with wrecked American planes as memorials and Vietnamese children do my nails and don’t remember a thing about it.
Let’s hope that someday some older woman does write a story like mine only involving American plane wreck memorials in Iran.
Thanks for thread A. B. So glad Trump held firm on Paris. He had me worried. The Donald being the consummate deal-maker was probably holding out for someone to throw him an offer, but apparently they were not forthcoming or attractive enough.
I think what sickened him most was the green world fund to which the USA is the only patsy and cash cow subscriber.
The usual media atonal point-counterpoint. If you have Pruitt you must have Gore. If you have Adam you must have Eve. Etc. Boring.
, Comcast is down again I’ll be struggling with my phone today
Will Wallace ask to be blessed by His Holiness Gore?
I got a good Pentecost story.
For this weekend is the Feast of Pentecost, one of my favorite Catholic masses.
Because I love the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost lives within me, a few drops of God that He puts in everyone. Some people ignore it. ME, when I need guidance and peace, I just call on my Holy Ghost and most times He helps me.
So yesterday the priest, Father Thomas Flowers, anybody remember my stories about him, wore the red Pentecostal vestment and complete with a new knee he officiated at the mass.
My friend, Pat but who I call DianeFeinstein because she looks just like her, was with me. By the way, last week I showed Pat this FreeRepublic thread and she smiled. We read some of the comments and I even put up a comment that Diane Feinstein was right here with me. She doesn’t mind being called Diane Feinstein but she says I should use “DianeF” because it’s much shorter.
Whatever and let’s not forget yesterday Diane Feinstein, all the way to church, screaming at me about how Donald Trump should STOP TWEETING. She’s got a nephew worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign and she’s from Wilmington, so she’s a Democrat. And all wrong about everything political and whew, Kathy Griffin got some screams.
As we both entered our pew the usher, Carl, came up to us and asked if we wouldn’t carry the communion stuff to the altar together.
In 16 years of belonging to that church I have never been asked to carry the “gifts”. I don’t know why except I don’t have a husband and maybe that was a rule. They get about, for our church anyway, about 8 people. Each gets something needed for communion, a bowl of wafers, and, insert smile here, in my case some big container of wine….more on this later.
So me and Diane Feinstein got back after the collection and Carl’s handing out bowls of communion wafers to a bunch of people while I stand around twiddling thumbs. Finally he gives me a big gold container of what I figured must be wine and tells me I have to go first down the aisle.
Before me and Diane began this journey, I asked a lot of questions. Diane had been a Cantor and was more familiar with this sort of thing. “Father Tom might not be in front to receive the gifts,” she told me, “he often remains seated while his knee healed.”
So as I walk down that aisle, the FIRST one in a line of parishioners carrying gifts, who should be standing in the center of the altar awaiting gifts but Father Thomas Flowers.
He has a huge smile on his face when he saw me and, of course, I had to hand this golden urn of wine to him. He was so happy.
And just so you know this is not all in my head, on the way home with Diane Feinstein, I giggled and said to her, “Laugh if you will but Father Tom was so glad to see me walking down that aisle he was positively beaming.”
”I know,” Diane Feinstein laughed. “I saw him. And I knew he was going to take your gift and not mine so I moved off to the side”.
Heh.
Just as Father Tom was pushing the Deacon and liturgical people out of the way to make sure I’d have nowhere to go but to him, Diane Feinstein too stepped aside.
Heh.
The entire church watched that guy beam like a lightbulb and I felt like I was waltzing in heaven the whole trip down the aisle.
That’s it. Lots of symbolism I suppose but just a happy moment on the day honoring my Holy Ghost.
And frankly I think my Holy Ghost arranged the whole thing.
To be fair, "Fox 'n Friends" have been outstanding(again)this morning, featuring brilliant commentary by Mark Steyn, Katie Hopkins, Nigel Farage, and others.
Of course, the Fox Network's "Chris Wall-ass" show will likely emulate the Leftist retards on CNN.
BTW, people. Propagate this meme by any means necessary:
CNN is ISIS
Do it.
F&F is one of the only programs left on Fox worth watching.
Great post bud chances are it’s too late for France the UK and Germany. they’ve given in can’t even call the terrorist what they are terrorist. so the big question is will it be too late for the u.s.
Muslim population has reached 12 and a half percent in London once it’s over 10 it’s too late so you can kiss London goodbye most likely be the same for the rest of the UK Germany’s not even trying France doesn’t know that they’re terrorists so that’s where we stand
The Murdoch boys apparently haven't been able to clip their wings...yet! Time will tell! But, for sure, the Murdoch boys are slowly, but surely, turning Faux Snooze into CNN/PMSNBC!
Actually the Russians warned that Seth Rich was going to be hit before he was hit as well but we just keep ignoring that kind of stuff so meanwhile Seth rich is killed and the Russians get the blame for everything when they are the ones that warned us to begin with it’s just it’s just crazy go try and figure
Fox and Friends unfortunately just a few minutes ago issued a politically correct statement of their own saying they and the Fox network completely disavow any talk of internment camps mentioned by any of their guests this morning. It is obvious some sort of discussion is needed on what to do with these identified 23,000 people that are terrorists or terrorist supporters. Refusal to discuss options is how we got in this mess.
The actual measured pollution metric for several regions and countries:
When you look at the statistics on who is paying for global warming it’s been the u.s. to the tune of a billion dollars while nobody else is chipping in and all all the president Trump wanted to do was renegotiate the greeman and no one would have any part of it so we dont need them
Christians and Christianity are under a worldwide attack someone needs to stand up for it2
I think it was Nigel Farage talking about the need to intern Islamofascists on the Watch List until they can be deported.
Maybe he should have said “quarantined” instead but in any case in the West Political Correctness reigns supreme and Common Sense is forbidden.
I heard that too. Judge Jeanine was pulling her punches last night, also. New host Steve Hilton was challenged by her and I expect he won't last long given the new Fox management of Murdoch's very liberal sons.
