What Dems Refused To Applaud At SOTU

With many of them clad in black, the Democrats who did show up to President Trump’s first State of the Union address Tuesday night were not happy about it. In fact, they seemed so focused on opposing everything he said they couldn’t even bring themselves to applaud things that are normally considered bipartisan.
They set the tone for their behavior that evening right away, by refusing to stand to greet Trump and many even first lady Melania Trump.
The resistance continued, with most Democrats also refusing to applaud:
- job creation
- higher wages
- lower African American and Hispanic unemployment rates
- bonuses for employees
- securing the border
- fighting the opioid epidemic
- merit-based immigration
- the American flag and the national anthem
- in God we trust 
- a path to citizenship
- Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
- diminishing the Islamic State
- lower prescription drug costs
- defense and modernizing our nuclear arsenal
Exclude Joe Manchin(D-Wv) from this list

A Tale Of The Porn Star Who Lied


An adult film star who previously alleged an extramarital affair with Donald Trump now says in a statement the affair never happened.
A lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels confirmed his client’s statement Tuesday. Daniels’ real name is Stephanie Clifford.

State Of The Union Speech(before it happened)

Democrats: The Party Of No Class

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the bar is so low for President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night that a speech in which “his nose isn’t running and he isn’t burping” would be considered successful.
“If his nose isn’t running and he isn’t burping, he did a great speech,” Mrs. Pelosi told the House Democratic Caucus at their weekly private meeting Tuesday morning, Politico reported.
She reportedly instructed Democrats to behave themselves during the address in order to avoid any controversial moments for the party.
“Let the attention be on his slobbering self,” she said. “If you want to walk out, don’t come in.
Daily Caller
What is Nancy hoping happens with her diarrhea of the mouth? Does she think conservatives will read what she said and come over to the dark side to be a part of her habitual condescension? Why, especially are Lefties so hateful. Kirsten Hillenbrand, senator NY flaunts the F word without regret. Tom Perez, the head of the DNC does the same. Yet, they receive little or no criticism. I don't understand politicians. Slap me in the face! I really do. They want to line their pockets and citizens be damned.

Woo-Woo-Woo! Saying Good-Bye To Chief Wahoo



The Cleveland Indians have sent their long time mascot, Chief Wahoo, to the graveyard of dinosaurs.
The Tribe will not sport their logo no any uniforms forever. So what? Wait until open day. There won't be one Clevelander in attendance without their mascot emblazoned somewhere on there person.

Someone today on the radio asked if the Florida State Seminole will go the way of Wahoo. The answer is no. The Seminole tribe of Florida wants to see an Indian(if he is one) ride into the stadium on his steed holding a  feathered staff while sporting a headdress of feathers.

The Atlanta Braves might be in trouble. Do they still do the tomahawk chop at Fulton County Stadium?

Think back to something I wrote about Indian mascots a few years ago. There are over 400 high schools in the U.W, with the nickname of Indian.

Sometime around 1988 while preparing to coach a football game against Moline, Illinois High School I happened to be standing next to a Cyclone fence and struck up a conversation with the University of Illinois mascot, Chief Illiniwek. He performed with the university band and they were playing at the halftime of our game on their way to Iowa City the next day. The faux Indian told me he received a full ride scholarship to do a war dance. Pretty neat gig, I'd say. Noy any more.t
Illinois got rid of the dancing chief a few years ago along with his name. For now they're just the Illini. They call them The Losers because they never win a sporting event.

This PC stuff is getting tedious. Today, on ESPN a sports announcer by the name of Kellerman declared the mascot for the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish is offensive to, who else, Irish people. If ESPN didn't have college sports they'd go the way of MSNBC.

Say What?

During the years of the Obama presidency, do you recall members of his administration and his media echo chamber constantly crowing that this administration was the most "scandal free" in history?  To give you a tiny reminder, here is an article from The Hill on January 15, 2017, just a few days before Obama stepped down, quoting then Chief of Staff Denis McDonough talking to Jake Tapper on CNN's State of the Union:
“I will say that the thing I’m most proud of, Jake, is an administration now acknowledging that we will have 6 days left or 5 days left, that has been historically free of scandal.”
Well, here we are just over a year later, and suddenly things are coming out about the prior administration that are not only a "scandal," but seem to take corruption to a whole new level in American experience.  Perhaps it is time for a review of President Obama to see where he ranks on the corruption scale.

How We Murder Babies.



There was a vote taken in the U.S. Congress yesterday to ban abortions after the baby has been in the womb for five months. Only seven nations in the world allow this barbarity. The United States is one of them who allow the heinous crime to continue.

The Vote: Six Democrats voted for the bill. Two hundred forty-two voted against. Two RINO Republicans, Lisa Murkowski(Alaska) and Susan Collins(Maine) voted with the murderers.

I say this in all sincerity. How could any Roman Catholic, my faith, and all followers of Jesus Christ vote to kill children? It doesn't make sense.

The Reason I Go To Bed Happy Every Night

cid:part4.DDA90B45.E4EF67BF@att.net

Wouldn't you, guys, have great difficulty explaining your wife's antics to others if your 'better half' was a member of this group.

My wife doesn't say much about The Donald even though I'm aware she isn't pleased with some of his antics. I'll bee the first to admit I don't run around town shouting, Donald, Donald, Donald". But I o  like the direction we're headed both domestically and in issues of foreign  policy.

I heard a black dude on Rush's show today calling Trump Mussolini. We on the right laugh with glee when these people spout off with their pie holes. The  trouble is they believe their own nonsense.

After one year of Trump this is the way I feel. I go to bed without a worry and I wake up feeling the same. Liberals are still sick to their stomachs 24/7. Life is great.

Sports Journalists Are The Worst

Monday during his weekly appearance on a WEEI radio’s “Kirk and Callahan,” New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cut his interview short at two minutes due to WEEI’s Alex Reimer referring to his daughter last week as “an annoying little pissant” while discussing Brady’s Facebook show, “Tom vs. Time.”

“I’ve tried to come on this show for many years and showed you guys a lot of respect,” Brady said Monday, via WEEI. “I’ve always tried to come on and, you know, do a good job for you guys. It’s very disappointing when you hear that, certainly with my daughter or any child, you know they certainly don’t deserve that.”

The good news is Reimer was suspended indefinitely.(Should have been fired)

This 'N That From Dublin Ohio

Guess what? MJ Hawkeye turned 72 last Friday. Know what this means? I'm officially an old man. I've been saying for years 72 is the magical age. When I was 60 I pulled into a gas station for a fill. I was having difficulty with my credit card in the pump; probably had it in backward. Anyway, a kid in a car behind me yelled, "Hey, old man. Hurry Up"! I couldn't let this insult go by the wayside so I countered with, "How'd to like to have your ass kicked"? And I could have done it. Not today.

I've been receiving a slug of mail forwards about being forgetful and trying to get up out of a chair without grunting. I've noticed I don't receive very many forwards of young girls being topless and the ones I do receive have an old lady with her once perky fun bags hanging over her navel.

Her Majesty bought me a smart phone for Christmas. Smart phone----for me there should be another name. I took it with me while we visited my son, his wife and grandchildren over the week-end. Our 13 year 13 year old grandson showed me some of the finer nuances; how to take pictures and forward them. How to answer the phone and to send messages, etc. It was a waste of his precious time. From the time I left the downstairs and got to the kitchen I'd forgotten everything he told me. It's true. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I'm back on the no carb/no sugar thing. A visit to Urgent Care yesterday and a step up on the scale hit me square in the face, chest, butt and stomach with the weight I've put on. I'll lose it. I always do. I've been so heavy in my prior life I'm the poster boy for fat jokes.

I'e been toying with the idea of relocation out of Dublin. It's not that I don't like it here. I do. It's a wonderful area. It's that I want one great last adventure; a community, preferably in the Midwest. The town must  have no more than thirty thousand citizens. There has to be three nice golf courses and first class medical facilities. Everybody will be required to speak English.  There cannot be more than ten liberals. I mean, if you can't make fun of someone why live there.

If anyone knows of a community of this type let me know.

This Would Make The Grammy's Worth Watching



Singer Joy Villa made another statement on this year’s Grammy red carpet, stepping out on Sunday in a gown painted with a rainbow fetus and the words “choose life” on her purse.
The white dress and its colorful uterus detailing was paired with her statement purse and crown. 

This is far from Villa’s first conservative statement at the Grammys, as last year she wore a blue “Make America Great Again” dress that featured Donald Trump’s embellished along the back.
Variety

My educated guess is not one television camera will get close to her.

Seriously, Chelsea


Chelsea Clinton promoted a Washington Post op-ed written by the slimy John Podesta and United Nations globalist, Timothy Wirth. The op-ed which blatantly pushes eugenics and global population reduction is titled, ‘Women’s Rights Issues Are Climate Change Issues‘.
The op-ed encourages women to abort their babies and have fewer children because the global population is exploding.

The Photo That Never Saw The Light Of Day



A journalist announced last week that he will publish a photograph of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D) and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan that he took in 2005 at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, but did not make public because he believed it would have “made a difference” to Obama’s political future.
The photographer, Askia Muhammad, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy.”
“But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover,” Muhammad said.
Asked whether he thought the photo’s release would have affected Obama’s presidential campaign, Muhammad said, “I insist. It absolutely would have made a difference.
Talking Points Memo

At The Supermarket

Kroger is my favorite supermarket and they've made tremendous improvements in the last few years. Number 1 on my list is their friendliness. A memo must have come down from their headquarters in Cincinnati but whatever it was it worked. They've added international foods to their list of items.

In Ohio we have one other major food store, Giant Eagle. They make 16" pizzas which are delectable. As with Kroger they offer the mandatory gas perks when oene spends X number of dollars a month on groceries.

Golly, it must have been five years ago when I wrote about super markets, the price of foods and the Dollar Store. In the first place, why would anyone spend more than a dollar on a birthday card? Does Giant Eagle think people actually look at the back of the card upon receipt and say, "Oh, they must think the world of me. It's from Hallmark"? Last February I sent each of my ten grandchildren for Valentine's Day a card with three dollars enclosed. I got word back from my son that his kids tore open the envelope, grabbed the money and didn't bother to read what I wrote. Won't they be surprised when the will is read.

I'm going to segue into today's Kroger experience. My good buddy, Buff, can verify what I'm about to write. I like Ketchup(Catsup) more than any food product. I'd drink a bottle of Ketchup before eating a bag of M&M's. My buddy, Buff, bought me a shirt from his trip to Banff Manitoba reading, 'I put ketchup on my ketchup'. I have to fess up. There is only item I eliminate from this delicacy and that's a medium rare New York strip. I'm not completely bonkers.

Her Majesty has been reminding me for three day my catsup supply was nearly gone. There was enough in the bottle when, in a pinch, I could drop in an ounce or two of water and survive.

But today the dispenser was empty. I jumped in the car and went right to the ketchup aisle and there it was, a Kroger brand 64 oz. container of liquid gold for the grand price of $2.59. Right next to it was a bottle of Heinz, 64 oz. for $8.49. Considering the only difference between the two is the label did I really have a choice?

Besides, traitor John Kerry's wife owns the company so why should I put money in his pocket so he can afford to go wind surfing?

This Is The Last Straw

Ian Calderon wants restaurateurs to think long and hard before giving you a straw.
Calderon, the Democratic majority leader in California's lower house, has introduced a bill to stop sit-down restaurants from offering customers straws with their beverages unless they specifically request one. Under Calderon's law, a waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
"We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans," Calderon explained in a press release.

John Kerry Stabs US In The Back

This shocking report comes from the Jerusalem Post:
Maariv reported that former US secretary of state John Kerry met in London with a close associate of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein Agha, for a long and open conversation about a variety of topics. Agha apparently reported details of the conversation to senior PA officials in Ramallah. A senior PA official confirmed to Maariv that the meeting took place.
***
During the conversation, according to the report, Kerry asked Agha to convey a message to Abbas and ask him to “hold on and be strong.” Tell him, he told Agha, “that he should stay strong in his spirit and play for time, that he will not break and will not yield to President [Donald] Trump’s demands.”
So if this report is true, Kerry tried to undermine U.S. foreign policy.
According to Kerry, Trump will not remain in office for a long time. It was reported that Kerry said that within a year there was a good chance that Trump would not be in the White House.
If a Republican did this the Democrats would say it was treasonous.

He'll Be Dead A Week After He Enters Prison

The gymnastics coach who molested 156 young women and US Olympians and was sentenced to 175 years in prison is a dead man walking--for now.

This story isn't over. Michigan State Univ. is now under investigation for ignoring accusations from 1994. Can you say Penn State?

My daughter was a second grade teacher at a school in Arizona in 1998. She went to the principal and told him she thought there was a male teacher in the school molesting young girls. She was poo-poohed. The next year the truth came out and the result wasn't pretty.

As for the gymnastics dude: He'll last maybe a week in prison. Hardcore murderers do not appreciate child molesters.

Hollywood Stars Need To Straighten Up

I'm a God fearing man. God created the earth and all who inhabit it. Sometimes nature gives dastardly situations beyond our control. Wasn't there a massive mud slide in California recently? I thought so.

It seems that California is the epicenter of many catastrophes; wild fires being the most prominent. Also, for years Californian's and the world have been waiting for the San Andreas Fault to do its thing.

Being a conservative and detesting most everything coming out of the mouths of the supposed smartest people in the world, aka, Hollywood stars, I think these people should consider getting down on their knees and I'm not referring to support #BLM.

I took a blurb from the LA Times. Not only should the high and mighty take a knee they might also consider buying a rosary and putting it to good use.

"New data from state geologists show that an earthquake fault runs below Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills’ shopping district, heightening the known seismic risk in an area famous for Cartier, Gucci, Prada and other luxury brands.
The California Geological Survey’s final map has the Santa Monica fault zone cutting through the so-called Golden Triangle, running between Santa Monica and Wilshire boulevards."

California: The Land Of Coffee Bean Nuts

LOS ANGELES—A California court case could turn every cup of coffee here into a jolt of reality on the risks of cancer.
Under a state law, cancer warnings already follow Californians when they enter the lobby of apartment buildings, drive into parking garages and sit down at restaurants. They also pop up on products including kitty litter, ceramic plates and black licorice.
Now, a state judge in Los Angeles is expected to rule in the coming months whether coffee should be labeled as carcinogenic under the three-decade old law, which is meant to warn Californians of potential harms.
Wall Street Journal
First it was cranberries and now coffee. What next, tobacco?

The Most Dangerous Country

Last week our president caught the wrath of the MSM and Lefties in general by saying Mexico was the most dangerous country in the world. One statement, any statement by Mr. Trump yields vitriolic hatred even if it happens to be true.

Mexico with a population of 150 million people had, in 2016, 24,000 murders. The United States with a population of 315 million came in with 17,000 murders(manslaughter included).

Does give you pause?

Birthdays Are Times For Reflection

My baby girl has a birthday today. I've always said men should have a daughter first. They help diminish our egos and place them in the bottom drawer where they belong. My daughter was born in Storm Lake, Iowa on a blustery, snowy afternoon. It's possible I've relayed this story before so bear with me. There were two of us in the waiting room. The other guy was quite a bit older than me. At the time I was one score and three; a mere child. This was going to be his ninth child. I was rooting he'd have a son. It didn't work out that way.  He gave a sigh and then said, "Oh well" lifted his frame off the couch and sauntered off to see his new dumpling.

I had to wait another half hour to welcome my cherub into this world. One of the Candy Stripe nurses was a student of mine from Storm Lake St. Mary's, Pat Domayer. I could tell she was excited and nervous for me as she entered the room. "You have a little girl", she said. I don't know my response but I'm sure it wasn't "Ah crap"!

Personally, I don't recall much of the rest of the day except while waiting to see my wife I watched a Purdue-Michigan basketball game on television.

There isn't much to this recollection. Maybe I should have kept a diary. All I know is at 47 years she's developed into a wonderful wife and mother. She is now a stay at home but she had heck of a career as a teacher and saleswoman.

It's not fair. Seems like only yesterday I was a new daddy.

Is The NFL Really This Stupid

R.I.P. Rosie The Riveter

People – Naomi Parker Fraley, the inspiration for the iconic female World War II factory worker Rosie the Riveter, has died. She was 96.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma, native, who was born on August 26, 1921, died on Saturday in Longview, Washington, according to the New York Times. The California waitress-turned-factory worker began her job at the Naval Air Station in Alameda and was among the first women to be assigned to the machine shop after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in late 1941.

Did ObamaCare Fuel The Opioid Crisis

War On Drugs: We recently speculated that ObamaCare might have contributed to the nation's opioid epidemic, which has in turn driven down life expectancy in this country for the past two years. A new Senate report adds further support to this connection.
 
The report, produced by the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee's majority staff, provides convincing evidence that ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion is at least partly to blame for the recent opioid epidemic.

The Senate report notes that those with a Medicaid card can get prescriptions for opioids, such as oxycodone, for as little as $1 for up to 240 pills. Those pills, however, can be sold on the street for up to $4,000.

Tujama Shalom Kameeta; World Renowned Authoress

A school district in Wisconsin is mulling over whether to remove the classic Harper Lee novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” from its high school curriculum after a parental complaint.
Parent Tujama Kameeta  wants the Monona Grove School District in Monona, Wisconsin town to remove the novel due to the “48 racial slurs directed at African Americans in the book.”
The College Fix
Let me guess, Ms. Kameeta is Black. Also, I'd bet one social security check she's a single mom(I only write this because I   checked her out on whitepages.com). One person in one school district. What next, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn?

More Dangerous Than Swallowing Goldfish

A Utah student was hospitalized after swallowing a Tide Pod

By now you've heard about the new fad sweeping the nation. Kids are swallowing Tide Pods. On the positive side the residue burns the tissue of your epiglottis, and throat. On the negative side their consumption causes death.

One other thing, these kids will be entering the voting booth in a few short months.

Does Anyone Believe Valerie Jarrett Isn't A Communist

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.

Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show.

Betty White Explains Her Longevity

The mythical Fountain of Youth isn’t made of water, after all, but vodka — at least, according to Betty White.
The famously spry comic actress, who turns 96 today, gave good news to those struggling to make it through January by offering some sage insight into her longevity.
She told Parade magazine that she loves vodka and hot dogs, “probably in that order.”
She may be on to something — a recent study found that adults who were moderate drinkers were more than 20 percent less likely to die early of any cause.

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words



Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

Did you recognize the lyrics from John Lennon's song? My suspicion is when folks listened they were clueless about Lennon saying communistic atheism is the way to survive in this world.

I've been congratulating myself for not caring about the government shutdown, for not giving a whit about any corruption charges of the FBI and any all nonsense coming coming out of D.C.

Once in awhile I'll get together with like-minded friends and try to imagine what it would be like if Hillary occupied the Oval Office. Think about what has transpired in the past 12 months and how life would be different, both in the world and at home.

Is it possible Lennon, when he wrote the lyrics to Imagine was dedicating them to a future Hillary?

Just imagine.
