Step up to the plate Friday...
"COUNTRY AIN'T JUST A STATE. IT'S A STATE OF MIND..." -ADAM CALHOUN-
Well, believe it or not the House passed a border funding bill yesterday without a single democrat vote. (Imagine that)
So much for Pelosi's bold claim that Trump doesn't have the votes.
Now it's the Senate's turn to step up to the plate.
They'll either put the interests of the American people first or Trump (my president) is shut the whole damned thing down.
That's my president and if you don't like it.
Screw you.
Anyway, that's not what I really wanted to talk about today.
What I wanted to talk about is an article I came across last night on The Drudge Report.
It has to do with what passes as today's mainstream media.
It's titled "The 18 most mortifying moments of 2018."
You can access the article here.

Or if you prefer you can watch the 6 minute accompanying video montage.
The funny thing is that these people like our resident butt doctor eat this shit up.
And if that's not to your liking you can always enjoy this little video my good friend Hammer sent my way the other night.
Be sure to pay attention today as events unfold.
Regardless of how it turns out heads are gonna explode.
Oh, and don't forget to keep an eye on the Go Fund Me page as more and more Americans make it crystal clear where they stand concerning the Wall...

Thanks Kevin for the Info, The Gofundme thing will get $100 from me today, I heard about it but didn't know where to go so thanks, the wife was going to look for it today, Oh just for the record my Luck isn't changing much this year, Hot Water tank went out yesterday, Sucks to be me I guess hope it is a minor problem, it isn't that old. Can't wait for the New year, has to be better than this one, Okay I am done whining.
ReplyDeleteSo, here’s your daily dose of leftist lunacy…
ReplyDeleteBypassing all consent from the overwhelming majority of students who live their lives according to the gender they were “assigned” at birth, a progressive university is providing free menstrual products in restrooms for people who have absolutely no need for them.
Why is the university doing this? You might have a pretty good idea already, but this twisted logic extends much farther than you think it does. What the hell do they do with them, shove them up their asses? GOOD GRIEF! Sick Bastards..
Oh, I forgot to mention the the link to the Go Fund Me page also came from Hammer.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just checked it and it's increased by about $300,000 since I posted this blog 4 hours ago.
WINNING BABY!!!
Just like Hammer to help me spend my money, good Grief I got enough help around here.. :)
DeleteAnd another $107,000 just since my last post...
ReplyDeleteWell it dam sure all didn't come from me. hehehe $100 is my limit. Cheap ya know.
DeleteHope you all are having a better day than me & ole buddy Sargejr. So I start my day out Thursday morning about 9 to go move cars for a guy that rebuilds wrecks. I go out to get in my old faithful Dodge [same one I drove to the summit] and NO reverse. Shit OK old truck and I knew it was just a matter of when and not if. So I go get my super clean 1988 Lincoln LSC that I keep hid in the garage. Go do my job come home and I go to Wally before all the rush so I can wait until next year. Put $40 gas in then get my stuff and come home. Unload my stuff next to my back door. Go out and my car is GONE. Call the cops and report it. Its about 12 30 Stolen. About 8 the cops call me found my car and I can come and get it. Cool. Car is in a church parking lot one block from me. Get up there and the cops are checking for prints all around the car. Want me to open it because the keys are gone and its locked up. No problem I tell them I have the extra key hid in car. Open the door up from the key pad on door. They had cleaned it out of any thing that wasn't worth shit .I don't leave stuff in car. Look for other key GONE. So I have to have it towed to my buddy's place cause we don't want it back at my place with no key and the thieves have all the keys. So know I have to try and find out if I can get new key locks. So this day is shot. I wasn't in and out of the house to the car more than 5 min. Keys were in car but not running. Cops got a lot of stuff for prints but don't know if it will help or not. They put over 120 miles on car. No damage except that I still cant use my car and my truck is out Just another day in the jungle.
ReplyDeleteDam Skipper I don't feel so bad now, always someone has it worst then I, Sorry you had to go though all that..
DeleteHey comrade bedpan, guess you idiots....I mean geniuses up there in Baltimore figured out how to get those evil guns off the streets.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore is paying $200 for any semi auto gun. So, you can sell that old rusty 9mm you bought at a gun show for $50 bucks and clear a nice profit, as one woman did who said she was using the money to upgrade to a bigger gun.
The hilarious thing is they are paying $500 for "fully automatic" guns. Now first, if someone has a full auto they are pretty unlikely to turn it in, and if they do chances are pretty good they are committing a felony by owning it. But then, these elitist godless commie leftist aren't that bright, are they?
And here's the capper. They are paying $25 for any high capacity magazine you turn in. So, go online, buy a ton of high capacity magazines for $12 and double you money.
These folks rise to a new level of stupidity. But then, they are godless commie leftist democrats, so.....
That's the kind of shit they always do.
ReplyDeleteKnee jerk and emotional reaction to everything.
Not once do they consider the consequences of anything they do...
Go Fund Me Page just passed $12 million...
ReplyDeleteJust for the hell of it Do anyone out here want this Country to bring back Bread like we had in the 50's, Now days they taste alike Dried out, what we use to throw out. And cost more... Frigging sucks.
ReplyDeleteI been thinking bread don't taste the same, but figured it was all in my head. Maybe they are putting in a lot of preservatives?
ReplyDeleteLooks like more people are jumping out of pentagon ship on account of Trump pulling out of Syria. Also, heard he may be pulling out of Afghanistan?
ReplyDeleteTruth is I don't know details enough if that is good idea or not; however, on the surface it seems like an excellent idea. Been there too damn long and can't be world police. Then on the other hand, by being there are we in a better position to stop/disrupt terrorist activity from growing? In the long run, we don't want that area to be controlled by the likes of Iran, that would not be good for us.
Not knowing all the details a person just don't know what is best for 20 years down the road.
Hmmmm RVG not in good health. Sad. But we will gladly appoint one to replace.
ReplyDeleteI donated last night. I also know some folks that donated and called it Christmas presents, and that idea is awesome.
Great blog Kevin. Good choice of music.
Dive on the Bread hell you just now noticing it, Good Grief, You can leave bread out almost for ever and doesn't even mold. I bought a loaf of bread for $5.50 thinking it would be Good, it sucked just like all others might as well stay with Dillon's bread for $1.00
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a damn shame if poor old Ruth died or something...
ReplyDeleteThat ain't no shit. I don't think people are catching on yet Kevin. They will...
DeleteThree in the first term?
Winning to the highest degree.
Be a shame if poor old Ruth tripped and fell down the steps, I would try my best to help her. I would pull out my phone and google "help old witch falling down steps", after I got a few sites, selected one that looked reasonable, I would go into immediate action.
DeleteJust read that a third of American is thinking about leaving the country to live elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI know I am. I'm moving to California.
Well SSAH you could have picked a better Country to go to.... Just saying. Lol
DeleteLeast educated country, I mean state right now.
DeleteThey call us hayseeds, but them dum dums in commiefornia?
Give them some education safe, please.
California has talked about splitting into three states or just leave the U.S.A. altogether.

ReplyDeleteBut, but, but, Kevin....
ReplyDeleteAmericans don't want the wall.
sorry to hear about Ginsburg's cancer - BTW, has there ever been any President in History that has 3 Supreme Court Justices added to the bench in the first term?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Divemaster, your post: "I an somewhat suspicious Ginsburg is already dead, and freeze dried with a remote controlled mouth." made Rick and me laugh outloud.... hee hee
Hey anyone got the time?
ReplyDeleteTime? How about time for a video? You'll love it.

ReplyDeletehttps://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/21/congress-fails-solve-trump-border-demand/
ReplyDelete"Congress fails to solve Trump border demand"
Congress closed up shop Friday night without a deal to avert a government shutdown at midnight, becoming snared by President Trump’s demands for new border wall money.
All sides insisted negotiations were underway but no agreement was on the horizon, and the adjournment of the House and Senate meant nobody would be around to approve it anyway.
That guaranteed the third shutdown of the year — one spurred by Democrats, one by a rebel Republican and this one by Mr. Trump.
The first two were brief, and all sides insisted they hoped this latest shutdown would also be short, though it was not clear what sort of deal might emerge.
The only major action Friday was in the Senate where, with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Mike Pence, lawmakers voted to at least begin debate on a spending bill — but only after agreeing that there will be no more parliamentary shenanigans and brinkmanship.
Instead, the next vote will have to be on a big compromise, said Sen. Bob Corker, one of the Republicans who forced the matter.
“It keeps negotiations alive,” he said.
In gridlocked Washington that turns out to be a tangible accomplishment.
While most of the government is funded through the end of fiscal year 2019, dozens of agencies still don’t have full-year funding, and are slated to run out of stopgap money at midnight.
Without new funds they will go into shutdown mode, with only essential employees working.
Given the looming weekend, it’s unlikely average Americans will notice. And since Monday and Tuesday are now federal holidays, any real pain for the public would probably be delayed until Wednesday.
Still, it had appeared the entire episode would be avoided as senators on Wednesday easily passed a bill keeping agencies funded through Feb. 8.
The White House had signaled support but, after fierce criticism from conservative pundits, Mr. Trump upended those plans and said he wouldn’t sign the bill because it didn’t include money he’s demanded for more border fencing.
House Republicans backed Mr. Trump, adding in more than $5 billion for border security to the Feb. 8 funding bill, then passing it Thursday — disproving Democrats who’s said there weren’t the votes.
Senators, many of whom had fled Washington, got called back to vote, and Friday’s 48-47 tally — including Mr. Pence’s vote — showed that there was nowhere near the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic-led filibuster.
That left all sides reaching for a compromise.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn told reporters Friday evening that a $1.6 billion amount for border security “would make sense” as part of a deal.
That’s short of the $5 billion in wall funding that Mr. Trump is seeking, but more than the $1.3 billion Democratic leaders have offered in recent weeks.
“Obviously this is being discussed at high levels, and I think we’re getting much closer to a solution,” he said.
He said once a final deal materializes, lawmakers could speed it through quickly.
“I just can’t tell you [if] that’s going to happen in two hours, or five hours, or eight hours, so we’re working on it,” he said.

Good morning room 235
ReplyDeleteThe reason and the only reason Trump isn't getting the is out of pure hate for the Man..And the Lack of respect for the Country and its people.
THE MONEY; Dam brain wont engage.
DeleteAccording to MSNBC "The world is less safe today" because of the Mattis resignation. Called him the "last human guardrail" between us and Trump.

ReplyDeleteYup I remember that firing of Mattis by the Boy Obama, pure gutless.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right about the hatred, Sarge.
ReplyDeleteTheir hatred is consuming every part of their being...
In other news...

Good grief...
Well, happy happy fun time is over.
ReplyDeleteYou guys enjoy your day...
Well stay safe out there.
DeleteOnly the Government shut down.. Not the Blogs... :)
ReplyDeleteYou gotta remember, Sarge.
ReplyDeleteNormal people don't get up at the ass crack of dawn and like to sleep in on Saturdays.
Normal people.
That leaves you and I out...
Well nothing going on so a little Funny..
ReplyDeleteA couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The Mrs. got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone.
He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early, decided to go the party.
Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice looking woman he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished , naturally , since he was her husband.
Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed.
So off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie. Just before unmasking at midnight , she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had ..
He said: 'Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there.'
- 'Did you dance much ?'
- 'I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete , Bill Brown and some other guys and we went into the den and played poker all evening.
But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to. ....
Well I guess its time to check in. I did get my car back in one piece. So for now every thing is ok. But have to get all the key locks changed but the insurance co. is paying for that. And I didn't shoot any body. But will never know what the real deal was as I am dealing with the key stone cops down here. Now if I was in Topeka I could pull my name and get something done. No not really
ReplyDeleteLol... Glad you included the "not really."
ReplyDeleteI was about to accuse you of being delusional...
I might have to debate that delusional thing. heheheh
ReplyDeleteI think some of you guys know who I am related to in Topeka
ReplyDeleteLol you might have told me once but I am old and memory doesn't work well. So if it is something you want to stay under wraps, you are safe with me, hehehe
DeleteJust got done with some baking... Empanadas (mini pie turnovers) variety of flavors. Been quite busy this morning and jeepers it's damn near 1:00 pm! Time flies when you're making a mess in the kitchen.... ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteOh, and I did all that baking without having one drop of coffee today...
Rick already made the chocolate chip cookies w/ chopped pecans the day before yesterday - several dozen. He really put my kitchen Aid large mixer through it's paces.... he likes to make cookies from scratch.
Skippey, sorry to hear about your car - glad you got it back though. some people just have no brains. did you hear about the family last week who was staying at the Ronald McDonald house here in topeka? Someone stole their vehicle.
Not sure what to say about folks who get their jollies robbing other folks.... but crimes like that peak during the holidays it seems like.
Things are gonna be hopping here in a while, so I probably won't be on much this weekend.
I'm going to take this time now and wish y'all a Merry Christmas - dunno about y'all but the kitchen is the place to be when holiday meals are being prepared and goodies baking, etc., there's always a need for taste testers.... lol
Hugs to each and every of y'all....
~love Rikki
Empanadas? Yum!
DeleteNot trying to start anything here, Sarge but I'm pretty sure debating yoyou would be the shortest debate in history.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it would go something like this.
Me: Well Sarge, this is what I think.
Sarge: Yeah, well fuck you...
Debate completed...
Lol, Yup most likely..
DeleteLMAO !!!
Delete“The federal government spent more money on the food stamp program in October, which was the first month of fiscal 2019, than President Donald Trump now wants the Congress to approve for the border wall for the entirety of fiscal 2019,”
ReplyDeleteYup and most likely the congress spends more on their perks.
DeletePersonally, I don't see what the problem is with the wall. I know why people don't want it built, and you folks know as well. Piss on them.
ReplyDeleteOur debt is pretty large, so at this point arguing over 5 billion is dumb. Mark me down for wanting all 35 billion to build it complete. From sea to shining sea.
But I'm just ol hillbilly....
$15 million and climbing...
ReplyDeleteFor my Christmas miracle I would ask for the biggest, richest, most conservative, America loving asshole to throw in a bunch of money for the wall and start a big stink in the media to get everything really rolling.
ReplyDeleteTrigger the shit out of them.
Hey, I said miracle....
I an't got that much Hammer. But I could cause a stink, and I live on 34th st , not sure on the Miracle part...
DeleteEvery time we have a shutdown of the government we hear this number and nobody says WTF?
ReplyDelete2.1 million federal employees. 800 thousand of them will be furloughed because they are unnecessary.
So there's your first place to start. We have 800 thousand people on the federal payroll who we don't need. And there is no way in hell we need 2.1 million people working for us.
Nobody ever seems to think about this. I spent the last ten years working for the state government and it is the most corrupt, inefficient, poorly managed and overstaffed bunch of crooks you can imagine. You could eliminate 25% of the state workforce tomorrow and you wouldn't even notice. Same with the federal govt.
Time to get rid of some deadwood I say. We can shut down 25% of the government and not even notice a difference? Somethings wrong with that picture.
yep Hammer, they are tasty treats for sure.
ReplyDeletethe varieties I baked up today.... mince meat, blueberry, peach, and strawberry.
soon to start in on baking up thumb print cookies, a variety of flavors.... got more of the flavors already mentioned, plus I'm going to do some cherry thumb prints and going to try something very different.... got some orange marmalade for thumb prints - thought that sounded intriguing since I love orange marmalade on toasted english muffins.
well, off to the kitchen with me -
~hugs
Rikki
Yup Safe I was in logistics for many years over my Service Time and I was saying that and could prove the waste, but getting any started was next to impossible. They shut ya down every time.
ReplyDeletenote to self: don't make the holes so big in the cookie... you will get hole-ee cookies and the fruit will stay on the cookie sheet....
ReplyDeletewell at least they tasted good! going back to the drawing board with the orange marmalade thumb prints.... this time I'm not going to make the thumb print as deep! (lol) :)
Boy judge Jeanine just put it right out to Trump. She laid it out for him.Hope he seen it. She was right on
ReplyDeleteMissed all that stuff tonight, been watching the Auto-bots tonight for the tenth time.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning room 235, Now to go read the bad News. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteOnly Hot New was that volcano that blew it's top and killed 100's, Bad Shit..

ReplyDeleteGood Grief! Send your cat in there my cat looks just like yours comes in a and wakes me 10 to 4 in the mornings, but today I threw my slipper at her and ran her off. Don't worry I didn't hit her!! 😇
DeleteOkay everyone calm down, Our President Trump has got everything under control. To include the commie Liberals.
ReplyDeleteDoes any one know if there are any RINO's voting against the wall? How many dems do they need?
ReplyDeleteLast I heard we need nine Dem's, but for the good of the Country all them sonsofbitches should vote yes for the wall. It is their oath to protect the American people.
DeleteDamn that's a lot That will be hard to get. Seen that ole Mc Con Job wont pull the nuke option on them.
ReplyDeleteYa but on this vote Skipper it takes 60 vote, unless McConnell does the Nuke option and he said no on that, Or it would only take 50 vote's and we got 53, Moron Reid did it.
DeleteWell maybe Trump can get his ass straightened out and pull trigger.
ReplyDeleteTrump already told him to do it but Trump can't order that I don't think..
DeleteYhep I don't know what Ole Mc Conman thinks he is going to do. He hasn't got the votes for 60 and that is the only other way to get it thru and stop the shut down[ which is a joke] We all know if it was the libs they wouldn't waste a second pulling the trigger. I say blast them. That is the only way . Throw it right back in their face's.
ReplyDeleteYup it takes Guts, and the only one I see with Guts is Trump.

House Resolution 7207 was introduced as a way of addressing the issues surrounding the government receiving donations for the border wall.
They are saying, screw the population, we won't fund and you can't buy anything because you are not smart enough to know what is good for you. So shut up, let the gangs in here to kill, steal and destroy. Let more worthless people in here to get free education, cash assistance, food stamps, free medical, cell phones......... and they will vote for Democrat. Oh and by the way- you are going to pay for it all!
