This is going to be great! They are scalping free tickets. 🙂 I didn’t know Sheriff Joe was going to be there too. Should be entertaining. 🙂

Scalping Frenzy Erupts For Donald Trump and Sheriff Joe Free Event
The thousands of free tickets went fast, and now there’s a secondary market for those who want to see Trump appear with America’s “Toughest Sheriff,” Joe Arpaio

This guy says free tickets are still available ?

So I guess the book will be pre-banned.
I already pre-purchased it for my daughter’s pre-b’day gift.
I’m surprised there isn’t a book burning movement for Gone With the Wind. Sadly, that movie couldn’t be made today. Also, Blazing Saddles….per Mel Brooks….
So Atticus believed that “negroes” had a right to a fair trial, but he didn’t want them in his neighborhood? So he was a progressive democrat .
Was this set in the 50’s ? I spent my grade school years on a military base, ok, Quantico. Housing was segregated by Officer/Enlisted rank but the base elementary school wasn’t. To this day I’ll never forget my black schoolmate invited to my 10th (give or take a year) birthday party and my dad driving her home. Just ruined my birthday party. Never knew if it was a color thing or a fraternizing with enlisted thing. In those days, we could go to school with dependents all ranks and minorities, but the base was strict about keeping us separated in housing.
No wonder those of us (boomers) born to the Greatest Generation were f**ked up in the 60’s.
Bwahahahaha!
They sound about as compassionate as zombies. I find this especially sad after looking at that beautiful photo of Lily. 😦

‘I love getting pregnant but I’m not ready for kids’: Women share their frank and shocking confessions on secrets app about having ‘guilt-free’ abortions
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3152054/Women-share-frank-shocking-confessions-having-guilt-free-abortions-secrets-app-Whisper.html
I find this very weird. I hated being pregnant but liked my babies and I was very impatient for them to get here. Babies, mine especially /s/, were fascinating and beautiful. And funny! I find this attitude towards infant children psychotic. It is hateful, selfish, and juvenile. How can people love puppies and kittens and not love babies?
My cousin and his wife just had twin boys — 31 weeks (9 weeks early) almost 4 lbs each and they’re the “giants” of the NICU. They are adorable and doing very well — they didn’t nees the vents, but theyre being fes through tubes an they’ll end up spending about 6 weeks in NICU before they can go home but they are fighters and we are all very blessed all things considered/compared to the other little angels in the NICU (one other baby was born at 5 months and is only 1.5 lbs! Sweet thing). That fact that “women” (can’t even call them animals as animals are better to their offspring) can happily and callously abort babies bigger than these babies in the NICU is vile, IMO.
Definitely weird. I loved being pregnant, and loved my babies, but absolutely did not want to be a baby factory, which was a definite possibility given that my grandmother had 12 children. So I went on birth control, thank goodness for the pill. I still love babies, they are blessed ,wondrous and cherubic creatures.
After my third, had the ole tubes tied. Easy peasy. Though I was counseled by the doc who thought I was too young and to wonder if anything happened to your kids !!?? Told him right back, if anything happened to my kids I wouldn’t be mentally able to have more NOW SNIP’em.
I loved being pregnant, too. I thought I was done after 2, but years later – when least expecting it, I was expecting again. I got that fixed after the third. And I love children, kittens and puppies. But I think the people who love puppies and kittens, and not babies, love them because they can “always give them back or to a shelter”. You can’t really do that with babies. I saw a Planned Parenthood ad on a NYC subway one time that showed a teenaged girl with the title – “Having a baby is like being grounded for 18 years”.
My youngest was the dot under the exclamation point since she was born 7 years after my 2nd son. Gotta admit, my favorite Robin Williams was spot on about pregnancy ….
Fantastic !
How far apart was your 3rd one Leslie?? I was in the same boat as you, my older two were 14 and 16 when baby number 3 came along. To say I was shocked would be putting it mildly, LOL! I took 11 pregnancy tests and kept insisting they HAD to be defective, even called the toll free numbers and chewed people out, LMAO!
When I was 8 months along my husband said “Honey, honestly we have to buy SOMETHING, if you go into labor early we’re screwed we have nothing for the baby.” I said, “But that will make it all so real.” He took me to Babies’R’Us which didn’t exist when I had my older two, talk about baby overload. I sat and cried and a sales clerk helped hubby buy up half the store! He bought diaper wipe warmers and all sorts of stuff I never used!
As much as I didn’t plan on a child late in life, I am closest to her for sure. Of course my youngest was the one that had leukemia so years of treatment being in and out of the hospital together also contributed to our closeness, but I’ve been a much more patient parent with her than I was with my older two. From the first moment I held her I’ve cherished everything about her, every 1st experience, even the bad experiences along the way. She has truly been a wonderful blessing!
I too have always loved babies. I didn’t mind being pregnant most of the time, although I could have done without the morning sickness. I adore my grandkids too, but I do look forward to the day I can be a normal grandmother and not full time daycare. Taking care of babies and toddlers is tough once you reach a certain age, they wear me out.
Oh my, Somebody. Mine weren’t that far apart. My oldest, daughter #1 was 8+ and my son was 6. I had just registered for school (nurses’ training) when I found out. So I kind of put my personal growth plans on hold to “personally grow” again.
Even though I was shocked, I still enjoyed my pregnancy. And after she was born, I, too, was more patient with her than the older two. I guess I didn’t have to prove that I knew what I was doing (lol). I enjoyed her babyhood much more. It was complicated because that was when the other 2 were starting soccer and basketball and tee ball and piano lessons, etc., etc., etc..
I am lucky enough to be a “normal” grandmother. My oldest says that I’m the “cool” one. She also says she is shocked that I am the “cool” grandmother. I guess she recalls – as we all do – my anxiety about doing things “right” as a new mom. The first 2 were only 15 months apart and so I was learning throughout their lives. (even now) But I get to be the kind of mom I really would’ve liked to be now, as a granny.
I will be “sitting” come the end of the summer as the “other grandmother” and I will be sharing childcare time while my son and his wife return to their jobs at school. But I know that even taking care of the little ones – even for a short time is wearing. I can’t imagine how much more difficult it is to have the “whole enchilada” as you do. I’m worn out after only a few hours.
I am certain that what you are doing now will save those kids as well as your son for the future. I only hope this phase will soon be over and you can return to being a “cool gramma” very soon. ❤

Or maybe they could just grow the fuck up and get over themselves. I’ve had it. You want a conversation on race? Lol – here it comes, bitches! And it ain’t gonna be what you were hoping for….

Stupid f*cking New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, brother of stupid f*cking EX-Senator Mary Landrieu, is spearheading the drive to get Confederate monuments removed in New Orleans. He wants them declared public ‘nuisances.’

I think this is in response to the whole state rejecting his stupid sister. He is just being a butt hurt asshole. Does he want to get rid of the statue of Jackson too? How about Dixie Beer? Dummie.

The ultimate colonialists. ROME! It was only 2000 years ago.
At least the Roman Empire lasted 7 centuries, the US is limping to barely 3. Thanks Obama and the f**king unicorn you road in with….gahhhhh.
The Roman Empire lasted 5 centuries. Over 1500 if you count the Byzantines too.
The Roman Republic came before the Empire. All three had a severe crisis every century or two.
There is nothing like an existential crisis to clear out the deadwood.
Ok, give or take a century or two……can the US last 5 ?
this offends me
The shootings/murders. assaults in Chicago should then be an indictment of the AA culture, then. They’ve already announced the number of shootings/deaths in Chicago this morning and the weekend is only 9 hours old. ( I forgot the actual numbers, but higher than the July 4th weekend.
Plus, there was a reports of a young WHITE woman and her 2 small children who were at a stop in the Hyde Park neighborhood. They were stopped at an intersection when a group of black “youth” surrounded their car, broke the windows, dented the car and told them that “Whites don’t belong in our neighborhood”. 2 young people were charged with misdemeanors after a CPD car arrived and “broke up the gang who ran away.”
The 2 young children in the car were cut with the broken glass and terrified as was their mother.
Here’s the link . . . http://abc7chicago.com/news/abc7-exclusive-woman-allegedly-attacked-by-group-near-u-of-c-campus/841913/
I guess they are pro-segregation.
Every once in a while, I consider writing a blog post about how the best thing a Black family can do to improve their economic and social condition is to move to a White neighborhood. I’d love to find a statistic about that.
It works pretty well until the kids hit middle school and the “crab bucket” kicks in.
I’m guessing that where you come from “crab bucket” has nothing to do with tiny insects.
Or tasty seafood
Wait, I just looked it up. It does have to do with tasty seafood. “If I’m going to get eaten, so are you.” I’ll have to remember that one. It’s very descriptive.
That was always my policy.
Love the meditation video–and I need it.

‘This Interview Is Over’: Clinton Backer Hangs Up On Host After Grilling Over Clinton Emails [VIDEO]

Ruh-Rho, Scott Walker’s campaign logo just rolled out and getting slammed. Why didn’t he just go with the Throne of Skulls theme, that would have been awesome 🙂

The timing is awful. During the Trump-a-Rama is the worst time to do this. But I guess he has to do it now or miss the first debate.
Flashback: John Edwards announced his prezzy run the week Gerald Ford died. Speak about bad timing 😉
http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/12/28/john-edwards-announces-08-presidential-campaign.html
Looking back on the Edwards campaign, he seemed to have a series of “bad timings”. . . and then there was Riehl.
I was at the white sox game the night Lance Armstrong and Elizabeth Edwards were speaking out on behalf of a national cancer awareness program. That would be the same night Edwards was caught sneaking around with Rielle Hunter at that LA hotel. Since then I’ve begun to believe at least some of what is front page headlines on the National Enquirer.
Actually, Twitter jumped the gun and has deleted the tweet
“Walker is expected to formally enter the race Monday, but he may have jumped the shark with a premature social media message.
The message read “Scott is in. Are you? Join our team today.” The tweet included a photo of the governor with “Scott Walker is running for president” superimposed on it.
The tweet has since been deleted. Walker’s camp may not have been at fault in the matter.
“We’re looking into today’s issue, and we’ve determined the Walker team was not at fault,” a Twitter spokesman said in a statement to Fox News.
Throughout the rest of the day, Walker aides remained adamant about his upcoming announcement Monday.
Rick Wiley, another aide, replied to a message about Walker’s announcement, saying “Set your DVR for 5pm on Monday bro, it will be epic.”

This is too long to reply to your tweet, but it’s math so simple even I can understand it 😛
Yes, thanks for sharing
Thanks,
I’m sending this to my “senator” Durbin. He won’t read it, but someone will and then they’ll be bigger part of the bigger problem.
It reminds me of when John Stossel revealed how much money NYC panhandlers made in a day.
I saw that Stossel show, great stuff…I think this is the first part….
Similar math applies for non-working citizens who know how to work the system. In my “poor” state, a person receiving section 8, Medicaid, SNAP, child, etc. benefits equals the income of a person working for total income of $45-55,000 per year. Hitting the jackpot is getting on SS disability insurance.
Locally some illegals built houses off a rural county road on a couple of acres they bought off some estate. They hid the houses (in scrubby woods) so they didn’t have to pay taxes on the lean-to type houses but pay just the land which is very cheap as it was listed as unimproved (not even ag use). During the recent floods the county road washed out stranding them. They have to cross a creek, walk a mile, mudslides. A lumber company owns the surrounding land and doesn’t need or want a road. The county won’t fix the bridge because there are no houses there officially. They pose for news photos lying in the washed out road, exhausted from walking, because the county won’t build a $750,000 bridge for them. Yeah. No.
Thieving is now good – Thank you to my fellow Wisconite, K. Marge

No surprise there. Our little Ford plant moved to Mexico to build the F-150 trucks after 75 years in Norfolk. Thanks to the union, they don’t have to pay their janitors 65/hr now.
Trump is right about the Mexican leadership being smarter than ours.

“LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80%

He’s in the shit now. Mr Gang of Eight is not handling this well.
Yes. This “doesn’t play well with others” is not looking good for Rubio.

If anyone enjoys reading the latest gossip on the society pages, Nicky Hilton (sister of Paris) has married into the Rothschild family.

“We’ve seen some slick, modern advertising out of 2016 Republican field so far, but Mike Huckabee decided to go in a different direction with his latest ad hitting the Obama Administration over its irresponsible Iran policy.
Huckabee’s ad is a reboot of a 1964 ad backing Lyndon B. Johnson in his reelection bid against Barry Goldwater. “Daisy” depicted a small girl counting up as she picks petals off of a flower; when she reaches 10, a voiceover counts down to zero, and a nuclear bomb explodes.”

Probably assumed because she’s white and on the heavy side, that she was conservative. Hey, it worked with the Dem, Obama voter, Paula Deen, so it should always work. The interesting question is, why didn’t it this time?

Always ask for a vegan cellmate.
This is the same guy who takes a dump in a gold plated toilet.
I don’t think this guy is the hypocrite you make him out to be. He is notoriously frugal and the last I read, did not move into the papal apartments in the Vatican. Ok, so I’m still under the spell of this particular pope. But he may be right. And maybe what he’s saying about the “subtle dictatorship” of the greed for money is not so far from the truth.
He’d be assassinated before he could do that. look at Pope Whatshisname (John Paul I)who was dead before the first full moon of his pope-hood.
Actually Vatican City is a country. And the church/country has enormous wealth and power. What he’s arguing for is authoritarianism over libertarianism. I.e., socialism over capitalism. A leader of a church arguing for authoritarianism, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
He still opposes gay marriage and abortion, but all you see in the news are his stances on global warming and socialism.
He absolutely dismissed out of hand the possibility of women priests, so he is a misogynist too.
Yep. A Catholic misogynist – shocking.
Well crikesy, did I miss the Phoenix Trump speech? Got busy and lost track of the time 😦
It’s only been a couple hours. I think he’s still talking.
Nope. You missed the Vegas one. He had the father of the football player shot on stage and spoke/yelled for about half an hour. Same issues. Phoenix is next.
They shot the father of the football player??? What do you think they’ll do in Phoenix?

No, I haven’t run off and joined Marine Corps. They wouldn’t have me, anyway. Too stubborn.
Commenting from 49er will be light or zero next few days till my interwebby heals itself. Probably Tuesday, at&t sez. They broke my U-Verse yesterday and if I were important would of fixed it today. But I’m not, so they’re sending a burro from Kentucky with the parts for me to fix it myself.
LOL. Methinks by then I’ll have another, cheaper provider in here with faster internet, BTNI.
Meanwhile I’ll mostly lurk.
I would have figured you for Air Force or Coast Guard.
49erDweet,
Just go and relax in our spacious downstairs lounge where we have new adult beverages, pastries and a 50ft. TV connected to an antenna. Last month, I upgraded to U-verse and found out to my surprise that my cable and internet service were somewhere in limbo until the service person came to install new fiber optic cables removing the old copper wiring. The AT%T person refused my request to keep the copper wiring – guess he needed them to supplement his income.

Watching the crowd on the livestream may be more fun than The Donald’s speechifyer…
He’s fucking amazeballs what an entrance …..
Had a show with Martha Stewart. “Right after she got out the can.” LOL. Hey she did her time, didn’t whine, and I watched her show this morning on PBS.
Whoa….I need a ciggie.
No teleprompter. So fun to watch him go after Jeb.
First time in my internet life I’ve been so glued to a livestream, thank you abcPhoenix. No teleprompter, raged against the political machine and ended appropriately with….Twisted Sister…

The Trump speech in Phoenix….
Hey, is anyone savvy enough to help me figure out why I can’t buy an expired domain that I used to own?
Did someone else buy it? Like GoDaddy? They buy them in bulk and sell them. and they suck. What is the name? I can look it up, or you can, on whois .
I’ve checked whois. Pheenix bought it up, but it expired for them on 05/29/2015. I thought it should be available by now. I thought it was 40 days from the expiration date that it became available.?It’s my old P&L domain. Peacocksandlilies,com. The coma is deliberate. It should be a dot.
My comas are accidental.
Usually.
It looks as if Pheenix/ Yenkos bought it, and you might have to buy it from them. I would go with .net, it is available for about $10.00, whereas they might ask at least $200 or more for the dotcom domain.
Once a domain expires, there’s an approximate 40 day ‘grace period’ for the owner to renew it. Once that is up, there’s another 30-40 day ‘redemption period.’ Depending on who is controlling the name, it could sit in limbo for days or months. Or longer. If one of the big domain brokers/squatters gets control of it, they can hold it up for another 6 months or year.
A bit of advice: don’t bombard the URL/domain checking to see if it’s online or not. Whoever’s currently controlling it will consider those hits as popularity and will hold it even longer or charge more to get it back. Check the status of the name through either a whois search or, even better, by trying to put the domain in your cart at your favorite registrar.
That’s basically what I’ve been doing. I appreciate the advice and extra knowledge. Looks like it could be a while, if ever. I might have to go with another extension. That sucks.
Guessing this will trump (heh) any discussion of Jamiel Shaw Jr and sanctuary cities tomorrow.

Now that photo should have been the one deleted. ROFLMFAO!
After looking around at pieces written for the public for the intertubes by the right AND the left it is apparent that none of them get it over the Trump phenomenon. At first I thought they just couldn’t figure it out because they are stupid. Then I thought they were simply too far removed from the vast majority of people who live in this country. Now I think they don’t want to get it because they had already mapped out a meme for 2016 and it is all fucked up now. In 2008 this was done for Obama but it never got off track really and they steamrolled him in. 2016 is not working out.
The illegal immigrant crime wave has been going on for a long time. People who don’t respect borders don’t respect civil laws. They do what they want. It is very easy to progress in criminality from stepping out of a river or over a fence or overstaying a visa to identity fraud, lying on a welfare or hospital admittance form, or driving around without insurance. They tell themselves this is a very rich country, I’m poor at the moment, and somebody ought to help me out. The costs are nebulous due to the complicated society and economy, do-gooders at churches and think tanks want to help me out and politicians and employers like to pass the costs on hidden in the muddle. The next illegal sticks up a convenience store or commits sexual battery. If identity fraud is ok why not a little nookie with a minor? Crime progresses. If you can rationalize financial or drug crimes why not the rest?
Last summer I think was the tipping point. Hordes of people with NO REASON to be here ran for the border and were not only allowed in, they were treated with respect and freebies. The collective “What the hell?” was shut down, shouted down, and the general and usual shaming began. It was supposed to be over, settled, and done. Oh well we can’t do anything about it now. Illegal immigration for the benefit of employers, political parties, and do-gooders everywhere had won. Only it hadn’t. The crime wave which had been carefully hidden, glossed over, rationalized, and ignored popped out like a nasty pimple. The reaction was horror by the public, rationalizations by idiots like the SF sheriff and Rubio (now ranked 10th!) who had to scramble and spout nonsense. Selectively enforcing laws while making up new ones is now standard operating procedure. The only argument both left and right have to this is “racism”. And condescension and butt hurt that their plan for 2016 got sidetracked. Notice I did not say the word Trump once. This isn’t about him. This is about are we a sovereign nation or just a pack of fools.
Oops! I did write Trump and didn’t proofread but I still don’t think he is the “thing” but rather the public is becoming much more aggressive and the political parties and media don’t like it because they are having great difficulty managing the general drift of campaigns. The uproar has caught them flat-footed. The fairy tale of the “good” illegal alien who does jobs no one else wants to do (while black young people can’t get a job at anything even mowing the grass) committing identity fraud and costing the taxpayer a fortune is not the agreed upon narrative.
The Republicans counted on Rubio’s immigration story and Jeb’s embrace of Hispanic culture due to his marriage as getting them Latino voters. Cruz could have run on this too but his is a different story and that of assimilation. The Republican party thought they had white middle and working class voters sewn up and had shouted them down over the illegal immigrant hordes of last year. The “we are all you got” attitude. The C of C money, open borders to draw some percentage of Hispanic votes, and the captive white working class was going to be their ticket. It blew up on them and they are mad. The sneering from the Republican intelligentsia is epic.

I feel like shit this am. I was hoping Denise would write a post about Trump’s speech yesterday for those of us who didn’t watch it.
I watched some of it. He is funny in a crazy rich uncle kind of way. Very NYC and un-PC which is the way most older guys talk in real life. And he has hit a NERVE! His campaign slogan could be “Sick of this shit!” Rubio is done. Jeb! is a Lehman Bros director hiding in plain sight. Walker better get on the stick. Kasich is just another old Republican asshole. Cruz is off watching and plotting somewhere. And the rest don’t have any money. Then there are the Dems. It seems all to be a farce by Moliere.
Lulu’s comments would make a great post today.
