Good Grief I am going to bed so good night, I will comment early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteCowboys and Saints are playing. So far it is a good game.
ReplyDeleteNot really a cowboy fans.... sorry - but I have to admit they're doing pretty good tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin for sharing the photo. (smiles).
Rikki, I know most on this blog are not cowboy fans, myself I am a Chiefs and Steeler fan but I will watch the cowboys play when they are on. You know the old saying about supporting the home team.
ReplyDeleteYep I understand the cheering for home team (giggles)
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful that the Chiefs (if they hold things together and continue improving) will see a Super Bowl run if not this year, next year.
I hope the Chiefs can hold it together. The Chiefs vs Rams game was fun to watch. What a game.
DeleteComey is causing a ruckus. I hope he is forced to testifies "behind" the curtain but I don't have my hopes up. I don't see anything happening to him. The deep state will protect him to the end. He will never be convicted. I wish Trump would redact "some" info just to rattle Comey's cage but I don't think Trump will redact anything until he feels it will make a difference. The DOJ is corrupt to the core and Trump knows this, I wish he would clean house and let heads roll but at this point what difference does it make? Maybe it is better that he continue to help the economy and we the people. Draining that old swamp could bring up some ugly creatures. And we all know the swamp creatures will not let go of the muck and mire without a fight. As much as I would like to see Hillary, Comey, Rod the Rat and Brennan and others get what they deserve, I just don't see that happening. They will never see the inside of a jail. Look what happened to Holder. The swamp is just to dang deep and they will protect their own. The corruption will continue and if Trump decides not to run in 2020 and a Dem is elected we can say goodbye to the America we all loved and fought for, and everything Trump accomplished will be struck from the history books and Obama will get the credit for Trump's growing economic gains. The Dems will do anything and everything they can to destroy Trump's legacy. I know I will stand behind Trump and I will continue to try to inform the ones who haven't a clue about what is happening to our DOJ and FBI. We all need to spread the word, not only to the people on this blog but to everyone we talk to. Words matter.
Have a great weekend and if you have any left over turkey it might be best to throw it out. It's been over a week since Thanksgiving and we don't need anyone getting sick.
There's some "untouchables" that will have a rude awakening.... karma will eventually kick those swamp dwellers in the ass....
DeleteJust wished it were much sooner than later.
Good morning world..
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Tijuana Health Department, more than one-third of those who rode the caravan from Central America are being treated for an illness. Out of the 6,000 illegal aliens who are currently in Tijuana, 2,267 of them are are ill. Diseases include respiratory infections, tuberculosis, chickenpox and other more serious conditions, Fox News reported.
ReplyDeleteThe Tijuana Health Department spokesperson who spoke with Fox News confirmed that there are:
• Three confirmed cases of tuberculosis.
• Four cases of HIV/AIDS.
• Four separate cases of chickenpox.
• At least 101 have lice.
• Multiple skin infections.
The department is also warning about a potential Hepatitis outbreak because the caravan riders are living in unsanitary conditions. Part of that is because thousands of the illegal aliens are being housed at the Benito Juarez Sports Complex near the San Ysidro United States-Mexico Port of Entry. The shelter is only designed to hold 1,000 people and has 35 port-a-potties for them.
And the democrats what us to let them just Rome into our Country, Get Real Lib's
Tensions are rising in Eastern Europe, and the possibility of open armed conflict is on the table.
ReplyDeleteThe real question, however, is whether or not America will once again commit her sons and daughters to another bloody war overseas. The Trump Administration appears committed to preventing this at all costs, but this isn’t stopping the situation from escalating. But as we can see we are very close to war on our own borders...Be Prepared...We Must Adapt, Improvise and Be Prepared to Overcome...
3 dead, 8 injured after high-speed chase at border
ReplyDeleteA high-speed chase near the U.S.-Mexico border in eastern San Diego county ended with three dead and eight injured after a Chevrolet pickup fled a U.S. Border Patrol enforcement stop, hit a spike strip and then rolled into an embankment, authorities said. The driver is in custody and being treated for his injuries.
just moments ago, President Trump, Canada's Prime Minister, and Mexico's President all signed the USMCA agreement that replaces the worst deal ever that Bill Clinton did.... Hasta La Vista NAFTA!!!!!

ReplyDelete"Illegal immigrant pulls gun on Border Patrol agent
Several more assaults reported as migrants resort to violence"
Print
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, November 29, 2018
Violence against Border Patrol agents continued to spiral this week with authorities reporting one agent held at gunpoint by an illegal immigrant in California, and two agents in Arizona facing attacks by hand.
In the California incident agents responded Monday morning to a report that two illegal immigrants had been detected crossing the border on foot. The first man was apprehended without any problem, but the second, Hector Rodriguez-Chavez, aimed a loaded Star Echeverria pistol at an agent.
The agent and Rodriguez struggled for the gun, and even the help of two other agents was not enough to pry the weapon from Rodriguez’s hand, the agents said in court documents.
Finally, one of the agents used his taser on Rodriguez, who dropped the pistol and stopped resisting.
Agents later found that he’d been deported back to Mexico at least five times before, dating back more than 20 years. His most recent ouster was in October 2017. He also had convictions in the U.S. for violent drug crimes and firearms offenses.
“Our agents’ vigilance prevented this dangerous person from illegally re-entering our communities,” said Rodney S. Scott, chief agent for the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector.
The Arizona assaults both happened Tuesday.
In one, agents were trying to arrest four illegal immigrants when one of them, a 25-year-old Guatemalan man, threw dirt in an agent’s face then swung his belt, trying to use the buckle as a weapon to strike the agent.
He was subdued and put into a vehicle, where he then spit in another agent’s face, authorities said.
Hours later another Guatemalan man, who’d previously been deported, was caught sneaking back in by an agent and his canine.
The 36-year-old man started striking the agent, but he was eventually subdued. Authorities said they discovered he’d been deported just six months ago.
One agent was taken to the hospital for an evaluation of injuries, but has been released.
The assaults came after Sunday’s violence at the border in California, which saw a mob puncture the border fence and attempt to overwhelm the Border Patrol and push through into the U.S.
Agents repelled the incursion by firing tear gas — a move that’s drawn condemnation from some immigrant-rights advocates who said those involved in the assault should have been welcomed and allowed to apply for asylum.
The Border Patrol says the agents followed protocols in using the tear gas, and were obeying rules dating back to the Obama administration.

If these people are so ding dang poor and pleading for asylum, then what are they doing with guns and why are they using violence to get into the United States? Any of you idiot libs who are reading this blog from the shadows brave enough to answer this?!! More than likely you're too cowardly to respond - typical. There's no Auntie Em or Uncle Sherm over here for y'all to hide behind.
I'm not too knowledged on guns or gun types.... so I did a little search of what a Star Echevarria was.... found this on wiki

ReplyDeleteY'all remember the other day when Obama said the oil and gas boom was to his credit? Hee hee..... this just doused all the self glory that Obama was trying to give himself...! Below is the article just published on the Washington Times website.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/30/john-hofmeister-ex-shell-president-obama-had-nothi/
"Ex-Shell President John Hofmeister: Obama 'had nothing to do' with oil-and-gas boom"
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Friday, November 30, 2018
Former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister is pouring cold water on former President Barack Obama’s claims that he’s responsible for the country’s boom in oil and gas production.
Mr. Obama on Tuesday told the audience at a gala for Rice University’s Baker Institute that he deserved credit for the oil-and-gas boom that his successor, President Trump, is now enjoying.
“You wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president,” the former president said to applause. “That whole — suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people.”
Mr. Hofmeister, who now serves as CEO for Citizens for Affordable Energy Inc., appeared on Fox News Thursday suggesting that U.S. oil and gas production increased in spite of Mr. Obama’s policies.
“Yes, the production did increase throughout his term, but, frankly, he had nothing to do with it,” Mr. Hofmeister said on “Fox & Friends.”
“This was production in states like Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, North Dakota, in particular. And these were all state decisions made with industry applications for permits. The federal government had no role,” he added.
Mr. Hofmeister also criticized the former president’s opposition to drilling, his increasing of permitting regulations and his handling of the Keystone XL pipeline.
“I would say that he was not a leader when it comes to energy, other than the Clean Power Plan, when he tried to remake the power generation industry without involving Congress, and the Paris accords, again without involving Congress,” he said. “So he tried to do a lot but it was not in the direction of the kind of energy that President Trump is working on.
“[Mr. Obama] was mostly in the way when it came to any carbon-based fuel, but when it came to the actual facts of the matter, because there were areas beyond his jurisdiction, things got done. The industry and the states working together did a remarkable job, which continues to this day under Trump,” he said. “So [Mr. Obama] can take credit for all he wants, but whether people believe him or not it depends on how much history do you really know versus how much history do you want to reinvent.”
Good Grief what a day...

What Kevin passing out at-a girls now... Good Grief .
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that the border patrol should use water to spray the illegals back if they decide to break and enter. The kicker was the water should be mixed with the chemicals that are in the bank cash bags that emits a blue or purple substance/dye that can't be washed off. That way they will be easy to identify if they are found walking around on our streets. I laughed hard when I read that article.
ReplyDeleteMy brother and his wife live in Nebraska and they get together with friends and stay in Donna, Texas over the winter. Donna, Tx is way down south close to the border. They tell me the US army is increasing in size in the area and it looks like the army is taking precautions because Donna, Texas is an area where illegals cross into the USA. My brother was an officer in the Air Force along with six other men and their families who are going to Donna for the winter. My nephew is an officer and his wife is a doctor and they are both in the Air Force, and they were both JUST transfered to San Antonio, Tx. They have lived theIR entire life in Nebraska and worked at Aufit AFB.
This may mean nothing at all but it just seems strange to me that all these people with military connections are all headed to areas down south, ON THE texas border. And from what I've read Donna, Texas sounds like an armpit of a place to live. I told them to let us know if the illegals try to take back the Alamo. LOL. Oh, the other thing, all these people I mentioned served in the Air Force and they all work at the highest levels of communications. They actually served as communication officers for Air Force One so they all have very specfic training requirements. May be nothing at all but I just thought it was weird.
Don't worry everything is under control...MAGA
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the desperate little left wing loons smile again.
ReplyDeleteI mean they've been so miserable for so long I can't help but feel sorry for them.
First their beloved Hillary crashed and burned.
Ever since then it's been downhill.
One disappointment after another.
For a while they placed all their hopes and dreams on a whore who turned out to be nothing but another whore who let them down.
They hoped and prayed the whore's creepy porn lawyer and defender of all women would save them.
They were crushed when he was exposed as just another democrat woman abuser.
But now that Trump's former personal lawyer has pleaded guilty to lying they're smiling and giddy all over again.
I hate to be the one that explain this but here goes.
Hey dipshits, maybe you need to get a little better class of heroes.
The whore didn't do anything for you.
Her woman beating lawyer didn't help you a bit.
Who knows, maybe your latest and most recent best chance to seek the revenge you're after will help make you feel better about yourselves again.
Don't get your hopes up too high though.
I mean he did just plead guilty for being a liar...
If you get a chance, listen to the podcast with Hannity and Stone this week and Hannity and Corsi. Dudes got balls. Mueller better be real crafty, even though his reports aren't coming out till mid January, because he isn't going up against dumb folks.
DeleteThat asshole is a liar. He has lied to just about everybody about everything. Guess it shows you how desperate these rats are to save this sinking ship. They're grabbing any piece of flotsam that is floating by. This will only break their hearts one more time.
ReplyDeleteSeems like every time their media cohorts convinces them this is the one that is going to break our President they believe it. This is the one that will get him impeached. This is the dirt that will undo him. And every single time it's just another fart in the wind.
These folks are pathetic. They would be funny if they weren't such seditious dangerous traitorous communist bastards. But they get all excited every time their handlers tell them they have the next big thing that is going to do it. This time for sure. This is the big one.
But then, you know what old Safe always says. If that's all you got....that's what you go with. And that's all they got. Wild dreams of conspiracies that never happened and crimes that were never committed. Their imaginations are great, but good for nothing, just like the whole commie left wing in it's entirety.
God bless God.

George Bush died last night.
ReplyDeleteBut 94 you can't say he didn't have a long life.
RIP Mr. President..
YUP, He did 94 not bad might be hope for me yet. That will take up the news cycle for today..
DeleteNot long ago, President Donald Trump proudly proclaimed himself to be a nationalist, and the left went absolutely nuts — and so did everyone else with absolutely no understanding of what nationalism actually is.
ReplyDeleteNationalism in the modern day is typically associated with the Axis powers in World War II, and really any top-down authoritarian regime. Many political science professors will refer to nationalism and authoritarianism interchangeably. This is a severe misread of the actual word, and a disservice to nation-first sentiment.
Just about everyone living in the western world is a nationalist in one way or another. More specifically, most people of all political inclinations are civic nationalists — that is, people who define nationhood as a shared culture. This stands in stark contrast to ethno-nationalism, the ideology espoused by the Nazis in Germany and the Japanese during the early 20th century. This way of thinking is deeply focused on race rather than culture. The mainstream left, however, conflates these two things on a regular basis.
Nationalists, by definition, are individuals who seek to put the interests of their own countries above the interests of other countries. This doesn’t necessitate a hostile attitude toward everything foreign. Rather, it’s just a common sense way of prioritizing the politics of your own culture.
Do you have any idea how pissed off the media's gonna be when they're forced to cover and maybe even say nice things about Bush when the only thing in their world that matters is Michael Cohen and Russia?
ReplyDeleteGood God their heads will explode...
ReplyDeleteLol. Pissed isn't the word for it....hehehe
DeleteKnowing the left bastards they may not even cover the death of Former President Bush.
DeleteWell I put my flag at half staff he was my Commander a Chief along with others. RIP!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am friggin soaked. No activity. No movement this morning. Yotes are obviously smarter than me, and stayed out of the rain. But there's tonight and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, wanted to drop by and post while I warm up with some coffee. I respectfully disagree with you folks on Bush senior. The media will talk about it in the days to come, and in a good light. Let's remember how bad the Bush family hates Trump. Any Trump hater is good with the media. I imagine the current president will not be welcome, much like the McCain deal that took two weeks to pass. The left and the media will pounce and pound.
Just my thoughts.
Time for a shower, a bite, and nap. Then back out.
Later Ya'll.
Nope my friend I think they the Trumps have already been invited. We will see. Keep warm!!
DeleteHang in there Folks!! Everything is under control.
ReplyDeleteIt is now.
ReplyDeleteStarted my day in Coffeyville spent a couple hours in Emporia headed home for a couple more hours and now I'm at my daughter's house in Kansas City.
Good grief...
Nice to know you are still on the move, be careful.. Nasty weather all around..
ReplyDeleteGood night room 235, stay well. And God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWell I liked Bush as well as I can any politician, but am really getting tired of hearing about him on TV. At least the wife changes the channel, I was wanting to watch the Greg Gutfeld show tonight, but then it is all about Bush, wife switch channels and I am back into a book.
ReplyDeleteYou get right down to the bottom line the Bush family just wants to be a dynasty ruling the U.S.A. Also, they are a bunch of sore losers that hate Trump! They showed their true colors during the election.
We had two older folks die from our church this past week, God has already judged them just the same as President Bush.
Good morning room 235.
ReplyDeleteSnowing here in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteGood grief...
Here earlier also, no acumaltion.
DeleteAmazing how one becomes a national hero by opposing Trump. Mainstream media hated 41 while he was Prez. His rep was sort of rehabilitated after his term. He became beloved after his sons bad mouthed Trump. Sort of reminds me how Red China operates. 41 was an honorable veteran and apparently well respected by those who knew him. However he wss not as well liked by the hypocrites on the left as now professed. He does deserve the pomp and circumstance now being given.
ReplyDeleteAmazing isn't it Tom...
DeleteIt's not so much as amazing as it is predictable.
ReplyDeleteIt's the exact same thing they did with McCain.
Predictable, but amazing the left has any credibility.
ReplyDeleteLOL the left doesn't have any credibility... And it shows.
DeleteAh hell the gullible masses willingly believe everything they're told to believe with no questions asked...
ReplyDeleteThe Left would embrace leprosy, if leprosy hated President Trump.
ReplyDeleteI am not the biggest fan of Bush. He was no Reagan. But he served our country, loved our country. He deserves the whole gambit of ceremonies to honor him.
But.... (tinfoil hat warning, kids)
I can't ignore the families relationships globally, his connections in the intelligence community, and of course a day in September more than a decade and a half ago.
And who could forget, "Read my lips, no new taxes..."
I honor him as a family man, flyboy, leader of the free world. He deserves that. But that's where I draw the line.
Just me...
Is that line in the sand? :):)
DeleteLol...
ReplyDeleteMore like in the mud, sarge. After this weekend I'm done with mud in December. Should of seen the Dragoon and the water running out of fields from rain and snow melt. Acts like it's friggin March.
And furthermore, I'm pissed. Shouldn't have to clean mud and water off a rifle that was never fired this weekend. I'm not going this afternoon. Try next weekend when, you guessed it, more weather moves in. No help for the working guy who's a weekend warrior.

Research on your own, but swat members last night shook hands with protestors and turned over their weapons to them. Fact. Not fake. Protestors surrounded a building demanding a prefect address them. He refused, so they set the building on fire. Twitter photos from this morning show demonstrators bringing make-shift guillotines. Makes a bold statement if you ask me.
Let Europe burn. It's starting in Brussels now. Germany next. Brexit shows the UK wants out.
Smart globalist commies here stateside. should take note. People won't tolerate oppression from identity politics, rampant illegal immigration, income redistribution. They are rising up with pitchforks and torches.
Why is this important? American Pitchforks are semi-automatic.

Mexico's new president signs deal to stop migrants
By - Associated Press - Sunday, December 2, 2018
In one of his first acts in office, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has signed an agreement with his counterparts from three Central American countries to establish a development plan to stem the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S.
The Foreign Ministry said Saturday that the plan includes a fund to generate jobs in the region and aims to attack the structural causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Thousands of migrants, mostly Hondurans, have joined caravans in recent weeks in an effort to speed through Mexico to request refuge at the U.S. border.
Dozens of migrants interviewed by The Associated Press have said they are fleeing poverty and violence in their countries of origin.

ReplyDeleteAgreed. For now it's just words like Sarge said. Gotta have proof to back up the words. Makes one wonder why this wasn't done years (decades) ago.
ReplyDeleteUh oh... Now they're gonna hate him again.
ReplyDeleteThe left cheered him on as he pedaled global warming. They loved him as he scolded the world for rejecting forced illegal immigration.
But now that the Pope warned that there is no place in the Priesthood for homosexuals they're gonna lose their minds...

"Read my lips: Media's love for George H.W. Bush more about hatred of Donald Trump"
By Charles Hurt - The Washington Times - Sunday, December 2, 2018
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
It has been nothing short of miraculous in this new season of Advent to hear all the Hosannas and applause for our recently departed former President George H.W. Bush.
In The New York Times, Mr. Bush was heralded for his “uncommon grace.”
The Washington Post called him a “giant of a man.”
“The most kind and considerate person I’ve ever known.”
“The most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on.”
Not your typical remembrances from jaded politicos about mere mortals. Especially if that mortal happens to be a Republican politician.
Where were all these lofty accolades when Mr. Bush was alive? Where was all this love when he was president? Where was this towering regard for the man when he was losing his re-election campaign in 1992?
Oh, that’s right. The press lies. And there is no time to lie about someone like once they are dead and no longer pose any threat.
When President Bush was alive and still a threat in politics, he was scorned and ridiculed by the press.
He was doddering and out-of-touch. Patrician, they called him. A buffoon who barfed in the lap of the Japanese prime minister during a state dinner.
Even in later years, long after Mr. Bush no longer posed any real threat, the press ran with ridiculous stories accusing Mr. Bush of being an iron sides groper. Yes, this would be the same man that the media sided against in 1992. To help elect Bill Clinton.
That would be the same Bill Clinton credibly accused of rape by numerous respectable and reliable women. Whatever.
All of this fawning praise for George H.W. Bush certainly rings hollow by any standards. Then it all clicks and makes sense again.
Even on the eve of Mr. Bush’s state funeral, this is not about George H.W. Bush. This is all about the current occupant of the White House, President Trump.
We all know how much the press hates Donald Trump, at least now that he is president. They despise him — and those who support him — so deeply that by comparison, George H.W. Bush was a man of “uncommon grace.”
Giant of a man. Most kind and considerate. Most beautiful creature.
Even the ridiculously partisan and myopically political “Saturday Night Live” paid tribute to Mr. Bush. Then, of course, they revealed their true selves by reprising the angry Alec Baldwin in his unfunny role of President Trump with inexplicably puckered lips.
The Washington Post, too, neared the line with an editorial in which they “mourn George H.W. Bush” — “and the presidency’s loss of dignity.”
Get it? Sure, they are sorry to see George H.W. Bush go. But, mainly, they just hate President Trump.
One of the paper’s dimmest writers — the vacuous and principally unburdened Max Boot — was dispatched to put a fine point on the real reason for the season.
George H.W. Bush, he opined, “The anti-Trump.”
Well, there it is. All the sudden praise, all the accolades, this surprise love affair with George H.W. Bush. It is all just another vehicle for demonstrating their hatred for Donald Trump.
It is true that Mr. Trump is certainly cut from a different cloth than was Mr. Bush. He comes from a different family from a different side of the track or river or whatever.
But, read my lips: Whatever family Mr. Trump comes from, if he keeps on keeping his campaign promises, he will get himself re-elected president. And that will be just one more way Mr. Trump was different from Mr. Bush.

ReplyDeleteI am watching this on T.V. I don't care how tough you are it has to bring a few tears to one's eye, mainly if you served in the Service.
ReplyDeleteTake notice also of the Troops and how precised they are. Well trained and most are all hand picked...
DeleteTough to deal with!!!
DeleteThen again you just suck it up and deal with it.
ReplyDeleteOr you can say Fuck it I give up, it is a choice. :)
ReplyDeletePretty much...
ReplyDeleteGood night room 235...
ReplyDeleteGood morning room 235..
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sarge...
ReplyDeleteGetting a little dusting of snow over here..
DeleteYeah but it's pretty light. I doubt it'll amount to much...
ReplyDeleteWell both baths are done, Carol waited a long time for that, and they did a fantastic job, the down side is they will be back today to get paid, no free stuff for this Conservative. Hummmm
DeleteA sign that someone has a clouded past that they don't want aired....
ReplyDeletehttps://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/4/michael-avenatti-says-he-wont-run-president/
Avenatti says he won't run for president
from the article:
ReplyDelete"And he said he was “concerned” that Democrats aren’t prepared to be nasty enough to fight back against Mr. Trump in 2020, saying he fears the party will nominate someone capable of being a good president, “but has no chance of actually beating Donald Trump.”
_____
Jeepers Creepers.... yesterday it was Bruce Springsteen saying that the dems don't have anyone that can beat President Trump and now Avenatti is saying the same thing.... Just waiting to see if there's going to be more dems facing the light that President Trump will be in office for a 2nd term come 2020.
But...but... Haven't you all heard? This latest thing with Jerome Corsi Mueller trying to get him charged with Perjury on a lost memory of when an e-mail was sent to someone, Corsi forgot then realized he had given the wrong info and asked to have his testimony amended. Mueller said OK but now threatened to charge him with perjury on the original "mistaken" testimony. What Mueller continues to do is charge these people with Perjury, tell them they may be in prison for life....unless they change their story to fit Mueller's idea of how it all happened. Many of the talking heads on the "fake news" channels are now saying that THIS,(sound familiar?) could be the story that will put Trump away!
ReplyDeleteCorsi is now sueing Mueller over these charges and neither he nor Roger Stone
So, do the Libs still believe that Trump will be running in 2020 or will he be in jail? They better hope that Trump is in jail because, so far they have no electable candidates that could knock Trump out of his spot!
Can't they leave our foods along, has anyone had a cup of 98% fat free mushroom soup? It is so gross I had to flush it. Good Grief!!!
ReplyDeleteGood points Gary.
ReplyDeleteOh, John Dingell is making noise again....

John Dingell, longest-serving congressman, wants to 'abolish the Senate'
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Tuesday, December 4, 2018
Former Democratic Rep. John Dingell, the country’s longest-serving congressman, called Tuesday for the abolishment of the Electoral College and the Senate, arguing against the “disproportionate influence of small states” that paralyzes the lawmaking and electoral processes.
Mr. Dingell, who represented Michigan for more than 59 years from 1955 to 2015, wrote an op-ed for The Atlantic offering a series of suggestions that he said would restore the public’s trust in the federal government. He called for an end to “minority rule” in Congress, saying it’s “antiquated” and “downright dangerous” that all states get two senators regardless of population.
“California has almost 40 million people, while the 20 smallest states have a combined population totaling less than that. Yet because of an 18th-century political deal, those 20 states have 40 senators, while California has just two,” he wrote. “These sparsely populated, usually conservative states can block legislation supported by a majority of the American people. That’s just plain crazy.”
Mr. Dingell argued that the Electoral College has the same flaw, giving “disproportionate weight” to small states. He called for its complete abolishment and for combining both chambers of Congress into one.
“It will take a national movement, starting at the grassroots level, and will require massive organizing, strategic voting, and strong leadership over the course of a generation. But it has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? ‘Abolish the Senate.’ I’m having blue caps printed up with that slogan right now. They will be made in America,” he quipped.
Mr. Dingell had several other suggestions for restoring the public’s faith in government, like making elections completely publicly funded, automatically registering citizens to vote at age 18 and putting an end to “the systematic attacks on journalism that have become prevalent.”
“The conduct and outcome of the 2016 presidential election have put the future of our country in mortal peril,” he wrote. “After a lifetime spent in public service, I never believed that day would come. Yet it has. And we now find ourselves on the precipice of a great cliff. Our next step is either into the abyss or toward a higher moral ground.”
______________________________________________________________________________
All I can say is that this isn't going to go anywhere - just because Dingell doesn't like the Republicans and just because he doesn't like President Trump is no reason to "rearrange" the US Constitution to his personal preference!! Someone needs to tell Dingell and the other idiot libs that they can't remove the Senate.
Well so much for that.
ReplyDeleteAll they're doing Sarge is making noise since all their attempts to 'remove' President Trump from office have ultimately failed...
ReplyDelete2 years now, no concrete proof to remove President Trump.... but the idiot libs deserve an "E" for effort though....because they have been persistently trying (sarcasm intended).
ReplyDeleteGood grief I was talking about my last comment on the fats missing in foods :)
ReplyDeletewell Sarge, the thing that makes diet foods diet is when you cut into them....all the calories leak out....hence making them 'diet'.... hee hee giggle giggle giggle.... p.s. I've had lots of caffiene and sugar today
ReplyDeleteguess you could say that the calories have gone awol.....
DeleteTaking about taste is all...
ReplyDeleteA poor worn out Trump hating whore just can't catch a break.
ReplyDeleteShe lost her defamation case against Trump and was ordered to pay for his legal fees.
$800,000 baby!!!
Damn the poor old Whore's gonna have to turn one trick after another just to pay the interest...
That is cold !!!
DeleteI don't know about you guys but I've had about all the slobbering over George Bush by the media.
ReplyDeleteThey hated his when he was alive...
Right, phoney's all of them..
DeleteWell like always I must say good night to my friends in room 235. Good Night.
ReplyDeleteSleep well Sarge. We'll talk tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteAs I said two days I ago I was already tired of hearing how great he was and constant news. I still say the Bush family believes they are entitled and want to be a family that runs the country. It got stopped by President Trump! Then they showed their true colors. Like almost all our politicians, they are wealthy long time connected families that have been running things for generations. No longer to we have a country run by the people for the people, we have a country run by the wealthy for the wealthy that give us just enough so we don't revolt. And that is becoming harder for them to do with all the information that is available. I seen a picture of old Bob Dole today, just wait until he passes, instead of a day the state may give even more paid vacation?
ReplyDeleteNow should we honor Bush, sure, but I believe we are going overboard.
I don't remember any other ex pres getting the gov off for his death. maybe I slept thru that?
ReplyDeleteSeems there was someone, maybe Regan and Kenndy?
ReplyDeleteTrump is also letting all federal employees off, guess I won't get any mail.
Here is something I found:
ReplyDeleteWHEREAS, President Trump has declared Wednesday, December 5, 2018 a National Day of Mourning for President Bush; and
WHEREAS, State of Kansas offices were closed to mourn the deaths of other Presidents; including Presidents Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Johnson, Reagan and Ford.
