Good morning DianeR,
Kerry, these people just never go away.
I'm watching the border here and Paris this morning...just getting started after a morning of answering emails.
So glad there were NO mudslides in paradise.
Another beautiful day.
I'll check in later.
Good morning HotCoffee, Gone all day yesterday teaching kids and ladies to safely handle and shoot firearms. Lots of converts and those people are understanding the fact they are their own first responder. We also include basic first aid, what to do until medical held arrives, and proper tourniquet application all of which wolud have saved many lives during the Boston bombing for example. I am odd because all of our vehicles carry a Resqme Seatbelt Cutter and Window Glass Breaker, RATS tourniquet, and fire extinguisher. Never needed any of them, hope I never do, but they are available if needed.
The beauty of the day and a perfect example of where those malcontent leftie/socialists, so overwrought with "white guilt", are trying to drag this society into their own gloomy little being. I cannot imagine what it is like sitting around their dinner table flipping from CNN to MSNBC every other second, then rushing to the twitter machine to confirm what some idiot bobblehead had just spouted.
^^enough said right there^^
I hope all is well in your world.
See Ya!
Hey, Good Morning DianeR,
I have a well stocked medical kit as well, I wasn't really getting it together as a prep thing as much as being so far from town and the time it would take for help to arrive. Just having a compression bandage could save a life. Good on you, training people use the equipment!. We never have enough tools for emergencies.
Its really sad that the dems want to destroy their own culture, I have no clue what they think that accomplishes? They are great at tearing things down...what do they build??
Can they show one city that is better off, a nicer place to live after they have been in control for a few years? I don't think so.
Well, lets see what today brings

Generators, Coors and canned food. How these ‘mountain boys’ are surviving in Paradise
By Ryan Lillis
November 24, 2018 03:00 AM
Updated 49 minutes ago
PARADISE
Brad Weldon has lived in Paradise his entire life, and wasn’t about to leave his home or his blind, 90-year-old mother behind when the Camp Fire hit.
And he’s not going to leave now that the fire is gone, though not much is left of the town he remembers.
When the flames came up to his neighborhood in the central part of Paradise, Weldon grabbed a garden hose and beat back the blaze. When the hose line cut out, he started throwing buckets of water, five gallons at a time. His home was spared, but everything around him was wiped out.
Two weeks later, Weldon is still at his house, one of a small group of self-proclaimed “mountain boys” who have defied evacuation orders and are surviving on meat stored in their generator-powered freezers, bagged lunches dropped off by PG&E crews and supplies provided by a mysterious band of volunteers that Weldon calls “the redneck underground.”

I have come to the conclusion that by becoming so over the top with all their little petty personal issues, their hate rhetoric, and attempts at dividing this country into segments, the sane people of this country will turn them out and they will have set their agenda back 30 years. Much as they did in 2016.
Occasional cortex from NYC is the best example of how a completely clueless individual elected to congress by a few idiots, will ruin the leftie/socialist cause in a very short time. One could only hope she and the billionaire Robert Francis O'Rourke from TX will team up and take over the democrat party ASAP.
DianeR,
I'm not so sure that will work....why...well look back on this...did it work?
Why Hillary’s Super-Predator Comment MattersHillary’s comment holds more significance than simply referring to gang members.
Referring to black kids as super-predators back then is like how people use “thug” now. It was used to justify mass incarceration for many addicts and small dose marijuana users, not dealers.

We probably will never see this happen because Thom Hartmann promised us the minute congress passed net neutrality, Al Gores entire internet would come to a halt and you and I would be paying hundreds of dollars a month just to cone to Thom Hartmann's blog.

Poor Al Gore just can't win.
I'll stay as long as you do...just let me know when your done. :)
The lefties have beat the word "racist into the ground. It just pours from their mouths freely and they have used it so much nobody really pays attention anymore. That was one of my big complaints about radio shows like Thom's. He could repeat stories like Rubio killed Medicare and it was 100% BS and many times on his old forum people posted the fact Thom was lying. He never blinked and I suspect he would still promote this bullcrap. I could go through a dozen or so if his inaccurate rants but I have real things to do.
Stay dry,
Until tomorrow.
Good afternoon HotCoffee;
Watching the border today. Love the leftie media screeching the words young mothers and children in diapers followed by "chemical weapons". Bullshit begats more bullshit. Note to President Trump. Shut the border unless Mexico starts deporting all the troublemakers. This is Mexico's problem, let them do the fix.
It sounds like some border crossings are processing and investigating 60 of them per day. At that rate there will not be enough let in to sway an election so the lefties will have to go back to finding more votes in boxes and trunks in every election they lose.
Stuff to do, back later
Hi DianeR,
Seems like we could start implementing E Verify, that would send a message that would get through as people left complaining they can't get a job. It would also send a message to Paul Ryan. He should have left when he resigned.
I have a busy day as well, I'll check back tonight.
HotCoffee, Paul Ryan and for that matter, much of the entire republican congress has been a disappointment in my eyes. Ryan is/was clearly never in Trumps camp and you are correct, he should have left early and let another fill his spot.
It took much of the house and senate nearly 1-1/2 years to figure out that those who voted for Trump remain loyal to him and really wanted him to complete as many campaign promises as possible. Given the lack of support Trump has received from either side, he has amazed me with what he has accomplished.
We can hit the Clinton Foundation otherwise known as the Clinton slush fund at a later time. Great to see that coming to an end and how fitting the bulk of the cash came from the mid-East and Saudi Arabia leading the list and them there is all that Russian $$$. All now dried up. I guess nobody wants to put money on a loser. Probably explains why she wants to run again.
Trump Proposes 'Worldwide Network' to Counter CNN Overseas
President Donald Trump is raising the possibility of starting "our own Worldwide Network" to counter news spread internationally by CNN.
Still kind of busy today....but this sounds like a good idea.
HotCoffee, I have to think a bit before I sign on to creating a national news network. That makes it all too easy for the opposition to complain even more then they are currently.
CNN has fallen so low in the ratings, the talking heads will have to pay them to work there.
I really think their influence is in their rear view mirror.
Some of the FOX lineup is really news and presented very well Brett Baker for example. Lately, having switched over to Limbaugh, I am reminded of the genius of his presentation. Little hidden stories pointing out how absolutely loonies the leftie/socialists have become. The guy is a really fun listen.
Till tomorrow
DianeR,
I was thinking that the world deserves better in the airports, bars, etc.
I'm sure they aren't listening to Voice of America as CNN has had a monolopy.

Senator Lindsey Graham Calls Out Anti-Semitic Democrat Senator For Her Inane Holocaust StatementPosted on November 26, 2018 by DCWhispers
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s is dangerously dumb and today Senator Lindsey Graham rightfully called out another of her stunningly stupid comments. This one came in the form of a pro-invasion stance in which Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez likened the would-be illegals crashing the gates of the U.S. southern border to Jewish Holocaust victims and families fleeing Rwandan genocide in the 1990’s. Six million murdered Jews and 800,000 slain Rwandans has no similarity to five or six thousand (primarily young men) attempting to illegally enter the United States. To attempt such a comparison is a terribly insulting gesture but sadly one that has become all too common with the intellectually challenged Ocasio-Cortez who herself has literally embraced Muslim fanatics who openly call for the destruction of Israel and the subjugation of women to the medieval laws of Sharia. Her attacks on our border and ICE agents, (many of whom are minorities) likening them (directly and/or indirectly) to Nazis, are utterly deplorable.
Shame on her.
I must have missed the part where the Jewish people ran, carrying German Flags!
Tomorow it is...

Left attacks Ruth Ginsburg
The long knives on the left are out for Justice Ruth Ginsburg. She failed to retire when Democrats could replace her. They worry that she is not long for the court.
"What the Cult of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Got Wrong," Mother Jones said in a headline this weekend.
Stephanie Mencimer wrote, "It’s not considered polite to point this out, but Ginsburg has been falling asleep on the bench during oral arguments for years. Back in 2006, she dozed off during a redistricting argument for a good 15 minutes — long enough for the courtroom artist to sketch her in repose. The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote, 'It’s lucky for Ginsburg that the Supreme Court has so far refused to allow television in the courtroom, for her visit to the land of nod would have found its way onto late-night shows.'

https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2018/11/left-attacks-ruth-ginsburg.html
Good Morning HotCoffee, I had not seen that very interesting Ginsberg story. I wonder if her health is actually far worse than advertised. The court actually sits pretty well balanced right now. Never forget Roberts has ben a wild card and although the leftie/socialists whine, Roberts is the one that saved their obamacare.
I have thought that sometime in the near future Thomas may pull the plug insuring at least four solid young conservatives would be there for years.
A Ginsburg replacement would hopefully mean a mass exodus of malcontent progressives to Canada and Mexico. One could only hope.

Clintons’ Tour Begins In a Mostly Empty Stadium, Tix Sell for $10ByS.Noble-November 27, 20182
Hillary and Bill mark the first leg of their 13- city post-election speaking tour in Toronto. The original prices were cheap when you consider what they usually charge. The price range was from $53 to $434 per seat. Some seats were as high as $750. Now they are selling for $10.
The tour is billed as ‘An Evening With The Clintons‘– a conversation with their ‘unique perspective on the past, and remarkable insight into where we go from here.’
However, StubHub still has seats for $10 and the event is this evening. After that, you have to pay $11 for front row seats. By way of comparison, the Toronto Maple Leafs game costs $73 for upper tier seats.

Wow HotCoffee, you are just a fountain of information this morning.
Occasional Cortex, the new darling of the leftie/socialists will be nothing but punch lines for the next two years. I am sure she means well but sadly her IQ appears to match her age.
So far, a few dems have probably already squandered their opportunity to be on the democrat debate podium when it comes to the 2020 presidential bid. Clinton, Harris, Spartacus, and Fauxohontas, immediately come to mind. Each have made complete fools of themselves in the last six months. I am personally pushing for a Avanetti/Mad Maxine Waters ticket but who knows, Anthony Weiner aka Carlos Danger is out and loose among the populace.
I was aware of the firearm statistic. Even the CDC reports that guns are used to prevent crime over 2 million times per year. Remember firing a gun is not needed to prevent a crime, sometimes it is just the display of a firearm that does the job. That fact will be left out of Mr. Hartmann's rewrite of the second amendment socialist style.
Ah! The Clintons again. What has always amazed me about these two grifters is the fact they never acknowledge the reality that their time is over, in fact it was over many years ago. After the A&E running a six hour special "the Clinton Affair" I am surprised Bill and Hillary leave their separate homes without a heavy disguise. I cannot imagine how those two egos fit in the same auditorium.
Gotta run,
DianeR,
I didn't know Carlos Danger was running around free again. Hide your daughters everyone!

Honduran President’s Brother Charged for Trafficking Tons of Drugs with Help of National Police & PoliticiansAs the migrant caravan that originated in Honduras treks north, the brother of that country’s president—a former lawmaker in the Central American nation—has been arrested and indicted in the U.S. on drug and weapons charges. His name is Juan Antonio Hernandez and he is the younger brother of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who has blamed leftist interests for manipulating migrants to destabilize the country. The younger Hernandez is a former member of the National Congress of Honduras and the feds say he’s a bigtime drug trafficker who has moved tons of cocaine through the region in the last decade with the help of Honduran politicians and law enforcement officials. more

It gets better. Now the unhappy malcontent leftie/socialists are distraught over the Christmas decorations at the White House.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to wake up every morning with bile in the stomach roiled up over the election of Donald Trump as president. The really odd part, back a couple of years before Trump was elected, the leftie radio and TV bobbleheads were angry at something different every day even when Obama was president. My God, is their no end to their misery?
Meanwhile most of us just get up and enjoy the day.
Catch you tomorrow.
Trump wins again. He has even convinced Hillary and John Kerry. Excerpts from:
www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/hillary-clinton-conservatives-w...
We know this because Hillary Clinton, arguably still the biggest name in Democratic politics, has just said that conservatives were right. She has conceded the essence of the rightist—and, by the way, centrist—critique of the open-borders approach to immigration.
On November 22, Clinton said in an interview with The Guardian, “I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame.” Continuing in that vein, she damned German Chancellor Angela Merkel with faint praise: “I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message—‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’—because if we don’t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic.” In other words, when Merkel opened the German border in 2015, she was being nice, but misguided. Of course, Clinton is no doubt aware that the global backlash against Merkelism was felt in America, too, contributing to her own defeat in 2016.
Yet in the days since, Clinton not only reiterated her position, but went a step further, making it clear that she was talking about the U.S. as well. In a tweet on November 23, she said, “On both sides of the Atlantic, we need reform. Not open borders.”
Meanwhile, on the right, immigration hardliner Ann Coulter bemusedly tweeted, “Maybe we should have voted for her. Might have gotten a wall.”
In fact, in yet another Guardian interview, former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry went further: “Europe is already crushed under this transformation that is taking place due to migration.”
Coalage3, It looks like Europe is waking up to the problems with uncontroled immigration and politicians heads may we coming out of their collective rear ends or they risk being ousted from office.
HotCoffee, Looks like you are dealing with rain today. I hope it does not cause you any issues.
An example of what is wrong with today's government.
Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes has come under fire for the numerous incidents of voter fraud and the lengthy recount process earlier this month. She finally decided to resign from her post after facing severe criticism. Now, it's coming to light that she will be receiving $11,000 a month in a pension. That equates to roughly $130,000 a year. Snipes was previously making $178,865 a year as Broward's Election Supervisor, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

Catholic Church collects $1.6 billion in U.S. contracts, grants since 2012
Thursday, September 24, 2015
Not to be lost in the pomp and circumstance of Pope Francis’ first visit to Washington is the reality that the Catholic Church he oversees has become one of the largest recipients of federal largesse in America.
The Church and related Catholic charities and schools have collected more than $1.6 billion since 2012 in U.S. contracts and grants in a far-reaching relationship that spans from school lunches for grammar school students to contracts across the globe to care for the poor and needy at the expense of Uncle Sam, a Washington Times review of federal spending records shows.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/sep/24/catholic-church-collects-16-billion-in-us-contract/
I'm pretty sure they don't want to give up the cash and this continues on & on. Just follow the money!
HotCoffee, Busy day today. The Catholic church is a very interesting topic. Billions in wealth and property all tax free.

HotCoffee, I read that Rudolph story. I try but cannot imagine what a miserable life so many of these so called "progressives" lead. I first noticed that when I started to listen to Thom's show. He lives in a dystopian conspiracy world with never a sliver of light at the end of the tunnel. Years ago he admitted to carrying a Geiger counter into the supermarket to test the food before purchase. There has never been large enough tin foil hat to contain their angst.
A perfect example of the miserable lives these bitter little pricks lead.

Here is a VDH update.
Victor Davis Hanson: We Haven't Had A Legal Accounting Of Comey, Brennan & Clapper And It's Coming
Hope your having a great day.
HotCoffee, I find it interesting how the lefties never look back at their own record of deciet and corruption all if which has been going on in politics on every level. The really wacky ones fixate on how the Republicans fix elections.
You probably hve some experience with this little gem but it goes on in many states California being the most prominent. Evidence is already on tape from a number of sources.
And more,
"California’s late votes broke big for Democrats. Here’s why GOP was surprised"
Tricky people those lefties. Screech about the other guy while doing far more themselves.



“They have categorically omitted and not complied with their legal obligations,” Gastelum said Thursday at a news conference, according to the Arizona Republic. “So we’re now asking them and international humanitarian aid groups to bring in and carry out humanitarian assistance.”
The Tijuana municipal government says it is spending about $27,000 per day to house and provide care to the caravan migrants in the city. Gastelum, who has drawn criticism for his tough rhetoric about the caravan, warned that he would not authorize more spending as additional migrants arrive.
“I will not compromise public services,” Gastelum said. “I will not spend Tijuanans’ money, I will not bring Tijuana into debt now, in the same way we haven’t done so these past two years.
Tijuana, a sprawling border city of about 1.6 million, has long been a waypoint for migrants of all stripes seeking to cross the southwest border. But it has never had to accommodate the sudden arrival of so many homeless Central Americans, who are now waiting indefinitely to apply for asylum at the U.S. ports of entry. (RELATED: Angry Tijuana Residents Push Back Against Caravan Migrants: ‘This Is An Invasion!’)
Nearly all of the caravan migrants are being sheltered in Tijuana’s Benito Juarez sports center. Officials say the center, which is already over capacity, cannot hold any more migrants while still maintaining even minimal safety and sanitary conditions.
