I blame Tito’s for this thread starter, whoa 😉
I think somebody has been sipping too much thread starter.
Agree, I’ll stop now, this is crazy, right? 🙂
The people who were doing and directing the fighting are exposed as partisans, not patriots.
And this is where “everyone’s lying” comes in. FBI told the FISA court one thing and Steele told the libel case court in London something entirely different.
They’ve had a year to create new documents.
MSM silence on this story:
And they will stay silent. I am happy for this outcome.
Agreed. Just start the fuck over from middle management up.
That’s not enough. It winds down into the “bowels” of both agencies. At the “culture” level, now. Don’t think it’ll ever happen. Chaos is coming……
An important revelation to me that came out of this is that the Constitution forbids the Federal government owning land except for 10 square miles for the Capitol, and such land as is needed for military bases, for which the Feds have to pay the State that owns that land.
So, abolish the BLM and turn all the Fed lands over to the States in which it resides.
Just what we have all been waiting for (not), a documentary on Obama’s last year in office. As one of the commenters said, she would watch it, just to see the happy ending.

Watch this video of Mark Steyn for the best analysis of Oprah’s speech.
Ben Shapiro on Oprah’s brave appearance on Golden Globes.
I have no use for any of them. It is why I hardly ever watch their movies anymore, and me a long time lover of movies. And I quit watching their award shows years ago. They ruin everything.
“Award Shows”. Shorthand for screaming “Look at me, mommie, AGAIN”.
When I did watch, it was for the fashion. 😉
OMG what a game! Alabama, national champions! Overtime…..winning play, unreal. The true freshman quarterback UA put in during the 2nd half really stepped up. Imagine the pressure and that last play, diverted defense by looking right up until the moment he threw a looong pass left in the end zone to another true freshman…..wow!
We missed the entire 1st half due to doggie obedience school testing and graduation. Both puppies made it!! The feisty one that is usually a PITA was spot on, flawless she was….who knew she had it in her. She was the only dog with perfect scores. I was annoyed about the stupid ceremony……..just wanted to get home to the game. From what I’ve gathered Bama sucked the 1st half so in hindsight it worked out OK.
ROLL TIDE!!!
This is proof that the Democrats are taking over Alabama. #CNNhottakes
As if that wouldn’t make an epic political ad, for the opposition.
I thought the same when I saw it.
This actually would give lefties a hard-on.
Flashback: British Actress Says Weinstein Used Oprah to Lure Her to His Room #MeToo
http://thegatewaypundit.com/2018/01/flashback-british-actress-says-weinstein-used-oprah-sexually-abuse-metoo/
Sick
I think it’s time for Daddy to have a talk with his daughter.
She is dumber than dirt. I’m sorry I am not impressed with her like the rest of the world.
Why don’t they just ignore the orca thing.
Same here. I rarely saw her show, only watched sometimes on my off days. It has only been a day or so, maybe this will all die down. I posted a clip above of Mark Steyn on her speech, which I finally watched this morning. He is right, she took #MeToo and made it all about her, not the victims in Hollywood. And no calling out the culture in Hollywood. When you read twitter, it is 2008 all over again. They know nothing about her politics, they are just swooning over her speech, so she must be the next President.
I’m not really a television watcher so I almost missed Oprah entirely when she had her show. Dd#1 used to tell me that she hijacked everyone’s issues on her shows and made each one her own. And when it was hers, it was always worse or bigger or better than the original (issue). So, this seems to be nothing new for Oprah.
I’ve been disgusted with her for about as long as she’s had a show. She put so much garbage into peoples’ heads.
Word.
I think her brothers are the ones that need to sit her down. She may be book bright and competent within her narrow scope, however, she is not judicious or insightful and is immature for her age. She also needs to remember neither she nor her mother are FLOTUS.
The left doesn’t like her and never will. Every time she tweets something like this, twitter slams her over her father. Which is what happened with this tweet. You would think she would learn.
This.
Ivanka does not seem able to comprehend that the 😎 kool kids were never her friends. Just opportunists. Now they are showing her what they always really thought of her family. She needs to move on.

Obama Library Likely Violates National Monument Rules
Preservationist groups are warning that the planned Barack Obama Center in Chicago may violate federal laws against destroying sites placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Obama Center is currently planned to spread out over sections of three sites with history stretching back to 1869, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
https://truepundit.com/obama-library-likely-violates-national-monument-rules/
There was also a report on newsradio this morning that the U of Chicago is encouraging the plans to be reworked and the location be moved to location that will respect the historic sites of the city as well as preserve neighborhoods and create financial opportunities. That’s the University that gave bronco the office space where he could work on his “memoirs” and only asked him to teach one class so he could add the prestigious name of UofC to his CV.
The biggest joke is asking bronco bama to “respect” the city and the citizens of Chicago.
As if …
He didn’t respect America, so he most certainly doesn’t respect Chicago, it’s just another chance at grifting.
And now the UofC gives Barry a bogus job at what I believe will be a 6 figure salary.
One of many reasons they will never get a penny more from me.
““My old boss, former British prime minister David Cameron, thought Obama was one of the most narcissistic, self-absorbed people he’d ever dealt with,” Mr Hilton said on his Fox News show.”
“Obama never listened to anyone, always thought he was smarter than every expert in the room, and treated every meeting as an opportunity to lecture everyone else. This led to real-world disasters, like Syria and the rise of Isis.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/obama-cameron-bromance-narcissist-us-president-uk-pm-steve-hilton-fox-news-interview-a8148646.html
Cameron, currently a nobody scrounging around for a living, spokespeople deny this. He has to schmooze elites just like he had to schmooze Bronco.
Says it all:
“For them, it’s all about style and tone, not substance and results. Donald Trump offends the elites aesthetically, like a piece of art that’s not to their taste,” he said.
“They can afford to do that because they live in a world of booming neighbourhoods, delightful hipster eateries and everyone they know employed in the virtual world of the knowledge economy. They don’t see what’s going on in the actual economy.”

Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas, 101, gets a standing ovation as he steals the show with Catherine Zeta Jones at Golden Globes
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5245205/Kirk-Douglas-101-gets-standing-ovation-Golden-Globes.html
Yes Dora, frightening indeed.
Unable to care for oneself with no family, and the prospect of a nursing home, well, not good either.
Potus went to the play offs. 😀
😀 She puts all the black-cloaked actresses to shame.
“, forced out of their jobs when all they did was touch someone’s knee or try to steal a kiss,””
If you try to ‘steal a kiss’ in the workplace, you should lose your job.
Totally agree with her
Using sex for power as Weinstein did is the worst, but Europeans are more kissy kissy than Americans are.
There’s a huge difference between the de rigueur cheek kissing here (which as a Midwesterner I hate hate hate, but when in Rome, so to speak) and the Weinstein treatment. I used to be all weirded out about how kissy-kissy the dean of my school is, but in reality he is perfectly proper, and in my experience, he’s more the norm than the Pepe LePew types.
I agree.
At some point there has to be an acknowledgment of what lies between the predatory behavior of some men like Weinstein and healthy pursuit of romantic interests. “Stealing a kiss” from someone you fancy is a hell of a lot different than raping someone.
I continue to agree with Deneuve’s assessment regardless of her political persuasion. While I agree with you about the difference in culture that you mention, I also believe that it’s not the only perspective to explain what has been (until recently) a purging of men who tell women how beautiful they look that day or who dare to steal a kiss from a potential sweetheart.
I’ve been groped by women who insist they can “change” me. Should I bring rape charges against them?
She’s also a big supporter of Polanski.
And is or was also a member of the French socialist party, which protected and coddled DSK even as he was attacking its members’ daughters. She’s got no moral authority over me.

Later, when asked about whether she’d vote for Oprah Winfrey if the mogul would run for president in 2020, Barr hesitated. “I do love Oprah. Of course, I love Oprah like everybody else. But you know what? I think it was time for us as a country to shake things up and, you know, try something different,” she said, referring to her support of Trump. What about Susan Sarandon for president?, another reporter asked. “Actually, I think I’d be a better president than Oprah and Susan Sarandon, probably even President Trump. And I did run in 2012,” she said.
Sweet story …
The secret love story of a holocaust prisoner known as the ‘Tattooist of Auschwitz’ and his wife – a woman he was forced to ink at the horrific concentration camp – has been revealed for the first time in a new book.
Lale Sokolov – born Ludwig ‘Lale’ Eisenberg to Jewish parents in Slovakia in 1916 – met his wife Gita Fuhrmannova when he tattooed the identification number ‘34902’ on her skin at Auschwitz in 1942.
While in the camp, they smuggled each other letters through an SS guard and had secret meetings by her block before they were separated upon release.
It wasn’t until weeks later that they were reunited in Bratislava, where they wed in 1945 before fleeing to Australia to live out the rest of their lives.

Didn’t read it, but I thought Nicole Kidman was good.
Ugh
It’s Tuesday. 😉
In the book, Kidman’s character is feisty. She subtly undermines her husband at every turn, especially by using his checkbook against him. Her friends miss the clues she’s being abused because she’s such a strong woman otherwise. The character as written in the screenplay and played by Kidman would have easily been outed by her friends, but then the relationships among all of the women were pretty superficial in the miniseries, too, and it’s what’s at the central core of the book.
None of the issues of the disparities in the relative incomes of the women were addressed, and that was an important issue. A lot of Kidman’s character’s standing in the group came from her ability to throw her money around, which we saw none of. A single mom who worked 20 hours a week as a bookkeeper moved in the same social circle as the wife of a multi-millionaire w/o explanation.That’s not how life works in Monterey. Liane Moriarity is a talented Australian writer, her setting for the book wasn’t California, and it mattered. But I’m not sure Reese and Kidman were all that interested in bringing her story to the screen. I think it was more about creating roles for themselves and promoting their causes. None of the humor from the book made it into the production, either, and that made it all the more cardboard. Moriarity is often very funny.
I don’t usually spend much time “reviewing” TV productions, but this was a seven hour commitment for me, and I feel cheated. lol
Yesterday was an on again, off again snowy day here. The temps were above freezing so no accumulation on driveways or streets. My housekeeper came. She missed last week because of the snow so she had plenty to do. When she’s here, I try to stay out of her way. Yesterday I removed myself to the lady cave and binge watched Big Little Lies. I just have the last episode to watch, but I’ve read the book so I’m not worried about spoilers. I’ve seen where the show took several awards at the Golden Globes. Given the “women theme” of the awards, I’m not surprised, but I have to say it was about as badly cast as any series I’ve seen. You know how when you read a book, you can imagine an actor or actress playing one of the roles? Like Clark Gable was born to play Rhett Butler? Well, I’m familiar with all of the actresses in this series, and I don’t dislike any of them, but none of them fit the part. Reese Witherspoon bought the rights so I’m guessing she picked the role she wanted.
Wild turkeys terrorizing mailmen.
George Washington et al. must be rolling in their graves.
It’s willful neglect of a perfectly good turkey dinner. A light sword, certainly legal to carry under the original intent of the 2nd Amendment, could easily dispatch such threats.
http://www.cleveland.com/rocky-river/index.ssf/2018/01/aggressive_wild_turkeys_in_roc.html
We have a wild turkey trail across our backyard. They can be aggressive.
Turkeys are real assholes. When we lived in Oregon, I called the cops on them! Because I am a moron and thought they were burglars when I heard the “thump” when they landed on my roof. AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, I THOUGHT TURKEYS COULDN’T FLY.
😀 We saw wild turkeys in Oregon for the first time during a drive to Medford.
Some of the idiot turkeys that live in my neck of CA even have wings, but they all are troublemakers.
Dems pressing POTUS for clean DACA amnesty bill NOW!!!! Dems will gladly work on comprehensive immigration reform next Tues for passing DACA amnesty NOW!!!
Don’t believe it!
https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=crmas&p=gladly+pay+you+tomorrow+for+a+hamburger+today#id=4&vid=ec2c161d7d08902c87ebfa899bf7d46a&action=view
Never, ever, ever believe them!
Ever.
I wish I had known that was all televised. Some clips were put up on twitter (I am sure by Dems) which show the President agreeing with Feinstein to first pass clean DACA, and then Phase 2, to address immigration. I hope to hell there was more to that discussion. Just NO!
It was great! POTUS demonstrated that reports of his dementia are greatly exaggerated. He didn’t drool. His bladder held up for over 45 minutes and he didn’t piss himself even though he drinks gallons of Diet Coke. Dems looked pissed that Trump controlled the narrative and seemed in his element working the art of the deal.
Wish he would have told Stony Hoyer, sitting to his left, to “go piss up a rope” when he told the standard Dem whopper that if POTUS would just agree to unconditional amnesty now, Dems would agree to work out a deal with Repubs on comprehensive immigration reform at some time in the future.
Don’t trust them. It’s a trap!
Thanks! I will have to see if I can find it.
Also, I saw a tweet from someone who has never liked Trump. But he watched today and said he was nothing like the media portrayed. So good on the WH for having this televised.
Trump should never agree to be interviewed by Mueller’s hit squad impeachment team.
Hopefully Trump will head Napolitano’s and Dershowitz’s warning and advise and take it seriously.
http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/01/09/judge-napolitano-trump-should-never-agree-interview-mueller-its-trap
Don’t fall for Mueller’s trap.
Yep. I hope he doesn’t do it.
He should stay away from anything and everyone who even vaguely resembles a democrat. Mueller et.al. aren’t to be trusted. I hope he listens to those wise men who are counseling him.
Musings from my 3 year old granddaughter……I round the corner into the spare bedroom to find two drawers of hair bows dumped out on the floor, drawer and all. (small drawers from a sit down vanity type dresser).
I ask what happened…..at first she ignores me, as though I’m crazy….an attempted gas lighting. I inquire again and this is her reply……It’s your fault and you need to clean it up……My fault? How is that? I didn’t dump out all those hair bows. I was bored, that’s why I did it and it’s your fault that I was bored, because you were walking your puppies. So that is why it is your fault and why you need to clean up this mess.
OMFG, she’s going to be a democrat.
That is exactly what I thought before reading your last line.
Funny how when kids are young they don’t feel much responsibility for cleaning up their own messes, much less being responsible for anyone else’s mess. Somewhere along the line they are taught that big government should take care of their basic needs.
Oh Beans!
