  • Those with Trump Derangement Syndrome are having a tough time right now

    self | 9/13/18 | myself
    I have several associates that deep in the tank Democrats. They are having a really rough time right now. One who is a socialist is deeply depressed. As they are slowly realizing the Muller investigation is a huge nothingburger and that the impeachment of Trump is but a pipe dream they are severely depressed. One would think that they should be filled with glee about riding that huge blue wave that is supposed to arrive in November. But alas they have also come to realize that is this another dream that is turning into a nightmare. I personally cannot wait...

    Comedian even suggests altering Michelle Obama's advice — 'When they go low, we should go lower' ABC’s “The View” co-host and comedian Joy Behar belittled first lady Melania Trump on CNN’s “Van Jones Show,” saying on Saturday that before she met now-husband president Donald Trump, she was “in Slovenia doing nothing.” Host Van Jones, greeting Behar with kisses on the cheek and clearly thrilled to have her, called Behar “amazing” and an “icon.” Behar told Jones that when she worked at HLN, Melania Trump had come on her show “to hawk her jewelry.” She referred to that show as “famous”...

    Founder of Ambassadors Mission International Incorporated in Aba, Abia State, Reverend Sylvester Nmanwoke, has predicted that President Donald Trump of the United States (U.S.) will not finish his first term in office. Nmanwoke, who is also President, Apostolic Faith Mission Shekinah International Incorporated (AFM), said America should expect some strange events like fire from the sky that would consume millions of its citizens. Speaking in Lagos at a World Press Conference tagged: President Donald Trump Will Not Finish His First Term, he stressed that Trump is a proud man, who is not born again. He also revealed that former President...
  • Liberals Don't Know Much About Conservatives History, and Both Sides Suffer For It

    Politico Magazine ^ | September 9, 2018 | GEOFFREY KABASERVICE
    The growing tendency of late for liberals and conservatives to regard each other as not just opponents, but enemies, has been one of the most alarming in an alarming era. At the root of this fear and loathing is mutual incomprehension: Liberals simply don’t understand conservatives, and vice versa. In years past, the historical profession has done little to improve matters. Liberal historians typically treated conservatives and their ideas with disdain, when they deigned to notice them at all. The end-of-century victories of Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich, however, forced historians to realize that conservatism could no longer be dismissed...

    Mad Maxine Waters is obsessed with President Trump. The California Congresswoman went after the president while accepting an award from the Stonewall Young Democrats on Saturday in Los Angeles. At one point in the 20-minute speech, she bragged about threatening Trump supporters. Speaking about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s apology to Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the dozens of people interrupting his confirmation hearing this week, Waters said, “We don’t ask permission to protest. We protest,” triggering cheers. “When we understand that we have to make America hear us and see us, and understand that we all have something to say,” she said,...

    So, this past week the Guam government and the National Weather Service warned us about the monster typhoon of all monster typhoons. "Prepare to die! We're gonna have 250mph winds! Your house will be picked up by the wind and be blown all the way to Malaysia! It'll be a horrible death!" It turns out they shouldn't have even canceled school. What a massively wrong prediction. There is no cat-5 typhoon making a direct hit on the island. There is a tropical storm passing to the north of the island. We'll get 45 mph winds and 4 to 5 inches...

    Aide Stephanie Grisham calls the hosts “disrespectful” after they accuse the first lady of hypocrisy for her “birther” support. Melania Trump’s spokeswoman lashed out Friday at ABC’s “The View” after the panelists mocked the first lady’s statement condemning the anonymous op-ed in The New York Times written by a senior White House official. Host Sunny Hostin focused on the first lady’s line that “words are important” and “accusations can lead to severe consequences” in the statement she released Thursday criticizing the op-ed that claimed people around President Donald Trump have been attempting to contain his “bad decisions.” Melania Trump called...

    On September 5 gun control activist David Hogg suggested AR-15s cannot be used for self-defense because they shoot further than handguns. He made this suggestion via a tweet which he sent in response Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony that AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles are used for “self-defense.” Kavanaugh’s full statement was that “handguns and semi-automatic rifles are weapons used for hunting and for self-defense.” But Hogg isolated the words “self-defense” and tried to make a point: David Hogg ✔ @davidhogg111 The effective range of an AR-15 is 1600 feet for comparison your typical handgun is 75 feet if...

    Former President Barack Obama visited The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Friday to accept the school’s ethics in government award, and to offer his take on “the state of our democracy.” And while Obama found plenty of time to denigrate Republicans for allegedly stoking fear during these “dangerous” and “extraordinary times,” he also dedicated a lot of his speech to patting himself on the back for everything from the improving economy to supposedly helping to heal the country’s racial divisions. All told, the former president referred to himself – I, My, Me – more than 102 times in about 64 minutes,...

    Quick action by a vigilant pro-Second Amendment student at the University of Kansas has resulted in shutting down a professor’s anti-gun syllabus. After KU senior Victoria Snitsar shared a copy of the offending syllabus with university officials, the university forced the professor to remove language from his class syllabus that is not “in compliance with university guidelines and state law.” In his syllabus history professor Eric Rath requested students “not bring firearms to class or anywhere I am present.” Referencing widely discredited and biased gun control claims, Rath’s syllabus warned students that carrying a firearm could increase a student’s likelihood...

    The only protest during the national anthem Thursday night was half a protest. Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett, who stayed in the locker room for the anthem during the preseason, walked in front of the bench during most of Boyz II Men’s rendition. Bennett then took a seat near the end of the song, according to Judy Battista of NFL Media. All the Eagles were on the field, even safety Malcolm Jenkins.

You can check it out from your local library, or you can purchase it. The price is #18.00 at Amazon and $19.26 at Barnes and Noble. I'm not sure if I'll read it or not. I already have many books stacked up to read.

    • Can Trump go from “fire and fury” to receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? • The President is currently among the favorites to receive the award, behind only Kim Jong-Un and Moon Jae-In • Is there value in picking Trump or the Korean leaders? Donald Trump was met with chants of “Nobel! Nobel! Nobel!” at one of his Michigan rallies back in April, and back then it seemed ridiculous that a man who once threatened to nuke North Korea could be in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet here we are. Donald Trump is now one of the...

    It may be hard to believe I had already been mulling over this topic and am not writing in response to anything, but it’s true. For weeks, maybe a couple of months, I have considered writing it, thought I was ready for it, pushed it back after the death of Sen. John McCain, and now, have pushed it forward in light of the same. He is not the subject of this reflection. Timing just necessitates I mention him. My focus here is Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and McCain’s vice presidential running mate. I have shared many times...
