  • Casey Just Torpedoed Ron’s Iowa Effort – Casey DeSantis Asks Voters from Every State to Descend on Iowa and Support Her Husband

    During a Fox News interview, the Florida governor’s wife, Casey DeSantis asks voters from all over America to descend on Iowa and caucus in support of Ron. Casey remarks, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the Caucus.” You cannot legally caucus vote for a candidate in Iowa without being an Iowa resident. Notice how Ron just sits there and lets Casey say something that is transparently false. Martha MacCallum just sits there like a potted plant on behalf of Fox News. Unreal.

    Casey Stengel’s Inside-the-Park Home Run Wins Game One of the 1923 World Series! The 1923 World Series pitted the Yankees against the Giants for the third consecutive year. The three consecutive matchups between the Yankees and Giants marked the only time that three straight World Series featured the same two clubs. The Giants won the first two meetings, but the third time proved to be the charm for the Yankees, as they prevailed against John McGraw crew four games to two.

    The Coach's Team ^ | 1/19/17 | Peggy Ryan
    I tried to write a piece about Meryl Streep’s screed and the ongoing war against a legitimately elected President but I couldn’t make it work, my heart wasn’t in it. Then it hit me, what the hell am I doing? Why am I still revisiting all the horrors of a failed Hillary Clinton campaign? Why even acknowledge her whining supporters, her DOA Democrat party? For God’s sake, it's a new day, we won, ding dong the witch is dead, David kicked Goliath’s butt, its time to pop the champagne cork, not rehash the past. But why was I going to...

    The poem, Casey at the Bat, by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, was first published in The San Francisco Examiner on this date in 1888: Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville Nine that day;the score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,a sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The restclung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;they thought, if only Casey could...

    The outlook was simply brilliant for the DNC-ville team that year; The score stood two to one, with but one more curve to fear, And then when Nancy died at first, and Clinton did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the DNC patrons of the game. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair, but the MSM's best; Sang songs of "hope that springs eternal" within the human breast; They thought, if only Obama could get but a whack at that - They'd put up even money, now, with Obama at the bat.But Ried preceded Obama, as...

    The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Liberal gang today: The House looked sure to lose it, and the Senate was in play. And when Blanche Lincoln lost her race, and Grayson did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the Left side of the game. A straggling few showed up and cast their votes in deep despair. The rest would cling to hope and change around the precincts there; They thought, “If we could only just explain to all the dopes The wonders of the Nanny State, we might not be on the ropes.” [snip] ...Oh, somewhere in this favored...

    Looks like someone at RedState got creative. With a smile on a picture Obama’s visage shone; While he posed with a little girl on vacation in the Virgin Islands as the people moan; Sand on the beach is no replacement for the sand our troops are on – the proud and the few; But Obama dismisses a visit for 900 days as a stunt, and the people said, “Strike two!”
