SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC):
I haven’t lived with TV or a TV service for decades.
Of course, the Internet can be its own vice...
oh yeah...Trump may not be charged but they got all his buddies...damn right. Orange man bad.
And so it is.
Trump has broken his 36 hour Twitter silence with two messages:
-Good Morning, Have A Great Day!
-Make America Great Again!
Gotta love it
Looks like I won’t be missing anything if Mrs Deplorable and I take the Deplorable kids out for breakfast.
They're queer.
By the way, I would be remiss if I hadn’t mentioned the BEAUTIFUL Spring we’re having here at Festung Babylonia in Alabama!
I’ve been planting broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, peas, potatoes and onions since the end of February and all are up and looking great.
I’ll see if I can’t post some pictures.
Lot’s of bird activity! I have several bluebirds nesting in my various bluebird houses, lots of juncos, robins, mockingbirds, mourning doves, red headed woodpeckers, cardinals, Carolina wrens, titmouse, nuthatchers, great horned owls (I hear them in the woods hooting in the afternoon) and I even saw a pileated woodpecker yesterday!
I bought a new Husqvarna 24” chainsaw and an Alaska mill and will soon begin milling my own wood. I plan on building a post barn with my wood and use timber framing to join it all together.
For Alabama, this is the best time to work outside. Not hot and humid yet—that will start in late May.
I also love late September thru November for the same reason.
For example, Jerome Corsi right now on Fox News.
Is he still fat?
The left's 1/3rd won't budge. Our right 1/3rd + are even more emboldened and won't budge.
But what of the middle 1/3rd ? Will it require more unpeeling of the onion wrapped around Deep State to convince them ? I think so...more is needed....but more is coming.
-—Alaska mill-—
I saw one on You Tube...... a miracle, a damn miracle, is what it is
One more (BIG) thing .... I cannot forget what McCain did to hide info about missing POWs, causing great pain to their families & friends ... here is a (long - sorry) excerpt from a very good article on this subject:
John McCain and the POW Cover-Up
The “war hero” candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.

To quote Rush one more time: “But Trump is the bad guy?”

Excerpt from the link (much more info at link):
McCain’s Role
An early and critical McCain secrecy move involved 1990 legislation that started in the House of Representatives. A brief and simple document, it was called “the Truth Bill” and would have compelled complete transparency about prisoners and missing men. Its core sentence reads: “[The] head of each department or agency which holds or receives any records and information, including live-sighting reports, which have been correlated or possibly correlated to United States personnel listed as prisoner of war or missing in action from World War II, the Korean conflict and the Vietnam conflict, shall make available to the public all such records held or received by that department or agency.”
Bitterly opposed by the Pentagon (and thus McCain), the bill went nowhere. Reintroduced the following year, it again disappeared. But a few months later, a new measure, known as “the McCain Bill,”suddenly appeared. By creating a bureaucratic maze from which only a fraction of the documents could emerge—only records that revealed no POW secrets—it turned the Truth Bill on its head. The McCain bill became law in 1991 and remains so today. So crushing to transparency are its provisions that it actually spells out for the Pentagon and other agencies several rationales, scenarios, and justifications for not releasing any information at all—even about prisoners discovered alive in captivity. Later that year, the Senate Select Committee was created, where Kerry and McCain ultimately worked together to bury evidence.
McCain was also instrumental in amending the Missing Service Personnel Act, which had been strengthened in 1995 by POW advocates to include criminal penalties, saying, “Any government official who knowingly and willfully withholds from the file of a missing person any information relating to the disappearance or whereabouts and status of a missing person shall be fined as provided in Title 18 or imprisoned not more than one year or both.” A year later, in a closed House-Senate conference on an unrelated military bill, McCain, at the behest of the Pentagon, attached a crippling amendment to the act, stripping out its only enforcement teeth, the criminal penalties, and reducing the obligations of commanders in the field to speedily search for missing men and to report the incidents to the Pentagon.
About the relaxation of POW/MIA obligations on commanders in the field, a public McCain memo said, “This transfers the bureaucracy involved out of the [battle] field to Washington.” He wrote that the original legislation, if left intact, “would accomplish nothing but create new jobs for lawyers and turn military commanders into clerks.”
McCain argued that keeping the criminal penalties would have made it impossible for the Pentagon to find staffers willing to work on POW/MIA matters. That’s an odd argument to make. Were staffers only “willing to work” if they were allowed to conceal POW records? By eviscerating the law, McCain gave his stamp of approval to the government policy of debunking the existence of live POWs.
McCain has insisted again and again that all the evidence—documents, witnesses, satellite photos, two Pentagon chiefs’ sworn testimony, aborted rescue missions, ransom offers apparently scorned—has been woven together by unscrupulous deceivers to create an insidious and unpatriotic myth. He calls it the “bizarre rantings of the MIA hobbyists.” He has regularly vilified those who keep trying to pry out classified documents as “hoaxers,” “charlatans,” “conspiracy theorists,” and “dime-store Rambos.”
Some of McCain’s fellow captives at Hoa Lo prison in Hanoi didn’t share his views about prisoners left behind. Before he died of leukemia in 1999, retired Col. Ted Guy, a highly admired POW and one of the most dogged resisters in the camps, wrote an angry open letter to the senator in an MIA newsletter—a response to McCain’s stream of insults hurled at MIA activists. Guy wrote, “John, does this [the insults] include Senator Bob Smith [a New Hampshire Republican and activist on POW issues] and other concerned elected officials? Does this include the families of the missing where there is overwhelming evidence that their loved ones were ‘last known alive’? Does this include some of your fellow POWs?”
It’s not clear whether the taped confession McCain gave to his captors to avoid further torture has played a role in his postwar behavior in the Senate. That confession was played endlessly over the prison loudspeaker system at Hoa Lo—to try to break down other prisoners—and was broadcast over Hanoi’s state radio. Reportedly, he confessed to being a war criminal who had bombed civilian targets. The Pentagon has a copy of the confession but will not release it. Also, no outsider I know of has ever seen a non-redacted copy of the debriefing of McCain when he returned from captivity, which is classified but could be made public by McCain.
All humans have breaking points. Many men undergoing torture give confessions, often telling huge lies so their fakery will be understood by their comrades and their country. Few will fault them. But it was McCain who apparently felt he had disgraced himself and his military family. His father, John S. McCain II, was a highly regarded rear admiral then serving as commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific. His grandfather was also a rear admiral.
In his bestselling 1999 autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, McCain says he felt bad throughout his captivity because he knew he was being treated more leniently than his fellow POWs, owing to his high-ranking father and thus his propaganda value. Other prisoners at Hoa Lo say his captors considered him a prize catch and called him the “Crown Prince,” something McCain acknowledges in the book.
Also in this memoir, McCain expresses guilt at having broken under torture and given the confession. “I felt faithless and couldn’t control my despair,” he writes, revealing that he made two “feeble” attempts at suicide. (In later years, he said he tried to hang himself with his shirt and guards intervened.) Tellingly, he says he lived in “dread” that his father would find out about the confession. “I still wince,” he writes, “when I recall wondering if my father had heard of my disgrace.”
He says that when he returned home, he told his father about the confession, but “never discussed it at length”—and the admiral, who died in 1981, didn’t indicate he had heard anything about it before. But he had. In the 1999 memoir, the senator writes, “I only recently learned that the tape … had been broadcast outside the prison and had come to the attention of my father.”
Is McCain haunted by these memories? Does he suppress POW information because its surfacing would rekindle his feelings of shame? On this subject, all I have are questions.
Many stories have been written about McCain’s explosive temper, so volcanic that colleagues are loath to speak openly about it. One veteran congressman who has observed him over the years asked for confidentiality and made this brief comment: “This is a man not at peace with himself.”
He was certainly far from calm on the Senate POW committee. He browbeat expert witnesses who came with information about unreturned POWs. Family members who have personally faced McCain and pressed him to end the secrecy also have been treated to his legendary temper. He has screamed at them, insulted them, brought women to tears. Mostly his responses to them have been versions of: How dare you question my patriotism? In 1996, he roughly pushed aside a group of POW family members who had waited outside a hearing room to appeal to him, including a mother in a wheelchair.
But even without answers to what may be hidden in the recesses of McCain’s mind, one thing about the POW story is clear: if American prisoners were dishonored by being written off and left to die, that’s something the American public ought to know about.
Sunday Morning Futures is supposed to have Maria Bartiromo’s Friday interview with POTUS.
CSPAN has PDJT’s Ohio Speech from Wednesday approximately 2 PM ET—after a Trump Tower rally by alas NY RAT Senator Gillibrand.
Only to be replaced with "republicans who will ever accept Trump as president" for the most part.
Today's spin will be that Muh Russia never mattered anyway. It's all about President Trumps character, and still has to be removed because he says mean things and won't release his taxes, waaaaa, waaaaa, waaaaaa.
I could not believe the media trying to make something out of his “Twitter Silence”!!!
Like he is so stunned by the damage in the Mueller Report he cannot tweet, and other such nonsense.
Note, stupid drivebys, that Trump doesn’t tweet everyday, 24/7.
Only the strong survive. The weak perish.
It is called Natural Selection. This is the process or one of them which brings about Evolution.
McCain and Kerry did formally give the cowardly Senate impetus to squelch the search for POWs and MAIs in Vietnam. Eternal shame on those B-stards
what is he [Jerome Cors] saying
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am sure he’s saying something similar to what is in this article ..... since the video of the interview won’t be posted for a while (if at all), you can read his comments here:
