Senatorial Heroes
It’s time for me to express a rather unusual sentiment in this day and age but, nonetheless, credit should be given to the Republican Senators for standing up to tyranny and the base of the constitution.
Jeff Flake, a guy who I don’t much like, voted YES to confirm Kavanaugh. He did not have to do that; he’s not running for an office next election.
Yes, I know he’ll probably craft out a new career as a political pundit, much like Jason Chafitz. As such, Flake could not very well have been the bad guy.
Susan Collins, goodness this is a Republican who I often want to punch in the face. But she did a great summation of the Republican account of Brett Kavanaugh. Sure, she’s a heroine for a day but let’s give her kudos.
Mitch McConnell was on several Sunday political talk shows yesterday and he didn’t take any flack from anybody. He stated, just like the Senate Majority Leader, that the no president has ever appointed a supreme court judge in an election year since the mid-80’s.
They just make stuff up.
Yes indeed, Kudos to the senators who, for once, refused to ride on the privileges of the elite and took a damn stand.
20 people killed in an auto accident.
Turns out the owner of that limousine was an FBI informant named, get this, Hussain.
The FBI….best federal police force in the planet.
Heh.
It’s called “An evening with President @billclinton and former secretary of state @hillary clinton is coming to a city near you!
Seriously, from Fall 2018 to Spring 2019.
Be interesting to see who pays to attend this hot mess.

So Nikki Haley resigns. Just odd. First, she had many issues with Trump during his campaign. For a while she presented as a “Never Trumper” of sorts. Then she got appointed Ambassador to the UN and Trump and Haley were in love.
Now she ups and quits, says that old rubric about needing more time with her family.
I like Haley and, for the most part, she was a good Conservative representative.
I think her leaving now, suddenly, is odd.
Maybe it’s because nobody leaked it and we public don’t know how to deal with it.
Those liberals, always so fine and fair.
Yes she got fired. She should be put in damn jail.
Yes I believe she too got fired. But not to worry, now we have Hillary, sweet, sweet Hillary, out and about and declaring there should be no civility with the Republicans because, well mostly because the liberals don’t know how to act, threatening to kill people and being joyous at bringing gloom.
I’m trying to wrap my head around that concept.

So Florida’s been wrestling with Hurricane Michael and in due course it is going to brush the Delaware coast.
It’s been a tough year for Hurricanes.
Must be that global warming.
But good sweet Hillary goes on TV with Christine Amanpour and declares that until the Democrats win an election they are NOT going to be civil.
The country of America has come to this; that if they don’t win the election they will become a mob that won’t allow others to have a peaceful life.
So the Saudis killed the Journalist who was exposing them?
So Taylor Swift tells me how to vote?
Taylor Swift, one can see the genius in this female.
Oh, and Kanye West? He has my admiration although the whole thing is a bit odd.
I call them squirrel-rodents.
For no mind their furry tails or cute behavior, squirrel-rodents make a mess out of a bird feeder.
Also, when you have dogs they tend to want to meet squirrel-rodents up front and personal.
But the lady yesterday decided to take a squirrel-rodent with her as a “comfort animal” on the airplane.
Aw, come on. How ridiculous are we going to get with this comfort animal issue?
Seeing eye dogs, seizure-detecting canines…..some animals are needed to avoid health issues.
But a squirrel-rodent?
The airline did not allow the squirrel-rodent to remain on the plane.
Just some miscellaney, might be political, might be cultural might be personal.
It will cost you $745 for an evening with Bill and Hillary.
I’m thinking the Democrat party came down on these two. The demands include Hillary taking a stand such as banning civility until the Democrats win another election.
I suppose Bill and Hillary also were told to start raising money.
The tour of an evening with a former president and former secretary of state begins soon.
Reserve your tickets now. Four or five of them have already been purchased.
For sure it’s a great series for younger children and adolescents.
Hare Bear is a rabbit who has taken to life in my back yard. He is brown, hence the bear label.
Watch close at the beginning of the video as Hare Bear comes out to visit me and the dogs, ahem….go out and visit Hare Bear.
It’s such a great video it should be on America’s Greatest Videos.
