A third world nation. O's wish for us all

I am a Trump supporter because I think the established political system is corrupt. There has been news this morning on cable talk shows there is a good chance Trump will not get the nomination because he needs X amount of delegates even if he is leading in winning popular votes in independent states so there will be a brokered convention in which delegates will decide who will run for president. It has been said that a lot of new voters who are in support of Trump as well as "Reagan Democrats" ...

How do you feel about this one, folks? ...

I just heard this video and wanted to share. I have been listening over and over. it's beautiful, tragic and so sad beyond anything I've ever heard. It's about the Lost Boys of Alleghenies. I have been sitting here crying for these two boys and what they went through and the parents too. If I'm being affected like this I can't imagine what they went through. I tried to tell DH about it and was too emotional that I just said watch the v ...

How many of us would love a job that pays bonuses for doing a lousy job? I sure would...Guess it was dumb of me to turn down the offer back in the 60s because I hated living in a city. In two weeks, the Internal Revenue Service will close its doors for the third time this summer. IRS employees will not report to work on July 5, 2013, as the result of furloughs allegedly due to budgetary woes. IRS employees, already operating under pay freezes – some for the last three years &nd ...

I had an interesting dream last night. My granddaughter was running toward a lake and not listening to my warnings to stop, as little kids will do. It was very scary, and I was unable to get there before she fell in. I fished her out, and she was okay but frightened. Then a lady who was sitting at a picnic table nearby said, "You shouldn't say, 'No, stop!, Stop' because a child won't respond to that. You should say instead something like, 'L ...

Check out this video! It's a short clip from the movie Bruce Almight. When I saw this, I thought OMG!!!!! Now I wish I could type like this!! Here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0cG11lTS1E Hope you all enjoy it!! ...

Donald Trump and Jesse Ventura. Yes! ...

I heard this week that Hilary is considering making Michelle Obama her running mate in 2016. At first I thought it was a ridiculous notion. But as fast as this country is plummeting down the tubes, thanks to Michelle's hubby, it makes sense. The left wing radical democrats would snap at the chance to run that ticket. ...

Wow...the president just ended his statement with the words, "One nation under God," and here I thought that there was a war on religion in this country!!! (or so we've been told by some) ...

DREAM and DACA aren't quite the same, I guess. I imagine most of us don't really have much exposure to real immigrants -- just pictures of scruffy-looking people trying to "cross the border" and our imagination. Video shows an exchange between a DREAM Act young lady and Rep. King. She is respectful, but determined. Rand Paul ducks and runs. ...

After visiting several online sites, I am relieved to know that so many Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, GET IT. They understand the significance of what happened tonight, and they KNOW that Obama and the Democrats just sold out the citizens of this country in a huge way. They understand that if this monstrous, unconstitutional bill is allowed to stand, their children and grandchildren will carry a heavy burden indeed. It's unfortunate that so many post ...

“The lessons of history … show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.” These searing words about Depression-era welfare are from Franklin Roosevelt’s 1935 State of the Union Address. FDR feared this self-reliant people might come to depend permanently upon government ...

According to a new study by the Pew Research Center, men and women between the ages of 18 and 34 are now more likely to be living with their parents than living on their own or in any other living situation [such as sharing an apartment]. This is the first time in American history that young people—32.1 percent of millennials—have been most likely to live with their parents. While the researchers theorize that this trend is due to the fall in the number of men and women settling down r ...

According to legitimate intelligent sources, it stemmed from an internal leak on the east coast (again, has anybody heard from Seth Rich?). A key smoking gun: "Investigators found that 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded locally on July 5, 2016. The information was downloaded with a memory key or some other portable storage device. The download operation took 87 seconds — meaning the speed of transfer was 22.7 megabytes per second — “a speed that far e ...

Free housing will soon be available for DREAMers—illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children—attending the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA).The Dream Homes initiative, the latest project by nonprofit organization Sand2Pearl, will provide rent-free housing to undocumented UTPA students in South Texas. The home, located within walking distance to UTPA’s campus, will open in August and house seven undocumented students during the 2015-2016 academic year. "They&rsqu ...

pennies'." (I gotta wonder what they put in the water in SC.) Two South Carolina GOP chairmen declared in a letter to a local newspaper that criticism of Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is unfair because he is like a "Jew" who is "watching our nation's pennies." The letter, published by South Carolina newspaper The Times and Democrat, was authored by James S. Ulmer Jr., who chairs the Orangeburg County GOP, and Edwin O. Merwin Jr., who chairs the Bamberg County GOP. Two South Carolina ...

From NJ.com: " Jumping out ahead of Washington, New York state enacted the nation's toughest gun restrictions today and the first since the Connecticut school massacre, including an expanded assault-weapon ban and background checks for buying ammunition. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure into law less than an hour after it won final passage in the Legislature, with supporters hailing it as a model for the nation and gun-rights activists condemning it as a knee-jerk piec ...

lose reelection in Kentucky. He was actually loudly booed at a campaign rally by Kentuckians who're fed up with the obstructionism that's failed to regain him the Majority Leader power he wants to badly and has cost the rest of the nation so dreadfully. Better too late than never... After all, when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. ...

Absolutely every insider must be defeated this election cycle. Democrats: We cannot elect the Clintons. Republicans: You must vote against your incumbents and insiders as well. This includes anyone who already holds office under your banner. CHANGE! If we don't relief from the Washington slime, this nation is going down, and PARTY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT because they're both corrupt as hell. ...

Progressive push-back against SCOTUS campaign finance decision is a sight to behold. The New York law firm prominently visible in the ad wisely chose their notoroius spokesperson to push for environmental law reform while attorneys quietly prosecute personal injury claims in the background. They managed to do this with 15-second cost effectiveness and hit the ground running with a near instantaneous response to the birth of corporate freedom of speech. Holy ...

A United States naval midshipman, David Farragut, commanded a captured British vessel during the War of 1812 — at age 12. Now major universities provide “healing spaces” with Legos, coloring books, Play-Doh, and puppies for students who “can’t handle” Donald Trump’s election victory. In 1798, Giocante Casabianca, who was 10 to 13, would not abandon his post without his commander’s word, and perished on his ship’s fiery deck during the Battle of the Nile. Today, undergraduate ...

In Oregon, a state known for its avid bicycling culture, the state Legislature’s approval of the first bike tax in the nation has fallen flat with riders. Democratic Gov. Kate Brown is expected to sign the sweeping $5.3 billion transportation package, which includes a $15 excise tax on the sale of bicycles costing more than $200 with a wheel diameter of at least 26 inches. Even though the funding has been earmarked for improvements that will benefit cyclists, the tax has managed to irk ...

What difference at this point does it make, you ask? Absolutely none. BTW, love some of the comments. ...

We've had lots of discussions about Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, nations of Africa, nations of south america, etc. Things are happening all over the world that are disturbing. If YOU got to make the decisions, what would (or wouldn't) we be doing about these things. Would we leave Afghanistan to the taliban, et al? Would be leave Iraq to its own devices? Would be help the starving people in africa? Would we fight the politics of the "blood diamonds"? Would we open all of the borders ...
