Lyin Biden just announced 55 Billion hand out to Africa.  The House has to approve all funding.  This is the first time I've heard the amount.  Where is the money coming from??  Actually the report is that it won't be money--it will be 55 Billion in Solar Panels.  Are these panals going to be produced in the U.S. or China?  We are living in crazy world folks.  KJP--Press Secretary stands at the podium in the Press Room and says they have secured the Border.  Finally the Alphabet News Organizations are covering what's going on.  We tax payers are paying Billions/Trillions (I'm not sure which) that has not been approved by Congress for these illegals.  Most of this money was designated for the Covid Crisis.  It is illegal to move those funds without Congressional approval.  Corruption!!

When you think Branden and his admin can't do any worse, he/they do that. Democrates are the real enemy, go along to get along with their evil leaders.

Mr. Kelly.  Re: Rep. Biggs' motivation.  I will venture a guess that he (& the Freedom Caucus) want to gain some power, recognition and plum appointments by tightening the screws on McCarthy.  I bet they'll back off and vote for McCarthy because the "R's" need to move forward with as little in-fighting as possible.  I think it's a bluff.  It's a numbers game and "we" need to get and keep the numbers.  Biggs & McCarthy can work things out in a dark, formerly smoke filled room.  Otherwise, "we" are screwed and once again we will have done it to ourself.

AMERICA FIRST!!  SECURE THE BORDER!!

When the Founders had some infighting at the birth of Our Country one of them (I think it was Adams) said something to the effect, We need to stick together or we'll die separately.  The Republicans are in the same boat now.  I think the House Republicans WILL stick together.  I like McCarthy because he's no nonsense from what I've seen.  My big concern now is the Senate.  They can stop this latest massive spending bill loaded with pork.  We only need 41 Republican Senators to  stop Nasty Nancy and Chuckie Schumers inflation budget bloating madness by only passing a continuing resolution in to January.  Then in January the new House can "cherry pick" what they want to put in the budget and make the Democrats explain their wasteful spending.  We need to stop the handouts to people who won't work.  Our unemployment should be zero!!

ON A LIGHTER NOTE

I spend a lot of time holding the refrigerator door open looking for answers.

I choked on a carrot yesterday and all I could think of was "I bet a donut wouldn't have done this to me."

When I say "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.

I've reached that age where my brain goes from "You probably shouldn't say that," to "What the hell....let's see what happens."

And, finally.....Someone just honked to get me out of my parking spot faster.  So now I have to sit here until both of us are dead.  (I can truly relate to that one and....so can some of you and I know who you are).

Have a wonderful weekend and remember to hug someone....even if it's with just a smile.

P.S.  Christmas is on Sunday this year.  How good is that??

DeWitt Bacon

My calculator is broken so let's see if I can work this out on my whiteboard. 

$55 billion to Africa,

Billions to Ukraine,

Billions to other countries

Millions of barrels of oil from our strategic oil reserve sent to China.

People here tightening belts over Biden's inflation and failing economy.

Deadly drugs, murderers and thieves, and child traffickers crossing our borders by the thousands each day.

Crime running rampant in our streets.

WAIT!

I'm confused. I thought Joe Biden was elected to be President of THE UNITED STATED OF AMERICA. Not Vice Chairman of China.

Sunday Funnies-- 1. I hate it when people use big words just to make themselves sound perspicacious.             2. Hospitality is the art of making guests feel like they're at home--when you wish they were.  3. Television may insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.  4. I bought a vacuum cleaner 6 months and so far all its done is collect dust.  5. Every time someone comes up with a foolproof solution, along comes a more talented fool.  6. I'll bet you $4,567.00 you can't guess how much I owe my bookie.  7. Behind every great man there is a woman•••••••••••••••••• rolling her eyes!

To me and my Poli-Sci side, this is an A-political Think Tank that is worth the watch twice.  Once to hear their studies and the second to understand.  Hope you watch and then re-post outside this forum.  Thanks Doug

Hello Gang,

I just returned from my Deer hunt of 8 days, from the Southern part of Az., in good ol Patagonia. With heavy rains, 6 to 8 inches of snow, howling winds, and 18 to 12 degree mornings, it was just wonderful ! Wearing my old Cabela's hunting clothes, I kept not only warm, but completely dry. Couldn't ask for anything more, except for loads of coffee. For the first time ever, I did not get my deer. Old age has really set in I guess. Oh well, there's always next year, ( maybe )...Now I have to get ready for my January archery hunt for Havelina...A Hunter's job, is never over, until the bells toll......Have a great night, all..................

The President of Toyota just came out and said it's a bad idea to be EV focused only.  I wonder if the Governor of California (Mr. Slick Hair) and the idiots in the White House are listening.  For the first time On HISTORY, Home Builder sentiment is negative for 12 months in a row!!  Lyin Biden has set another new record!!

Jim Coats

Frank.  Good Sunday Funnies.  How about these....

POINTS TO PONDER

Why do you have to put your 2 cents worth in, but it's only a penny for your thoughts?  Where's that other penny going?  Wait a minute!!  To the government, of course.

If a deaf person goes to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a crisp that no normal human being would eat?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

How, pray tell, did the man who made the first clock know what time it was?

These are some of the things that keep me up at night....besides the Biden administration, of course.

DeWitt Bacon

Doug. I don't remember you from high school, but it's good to see you weighing in on the forum. I don't have a poli-sci side, but I think I am intelligent enough to see what is going on in our country and form my own opinions. This forum did not start out as a political forum, but aside from the occasional jokes and some personal stories, that is about all it has become. I do post on other platforms and media as well. I sometimes will post on a CNN or MSNBC story on YouTube. My comments are usually not popular there but when all they can reply to me with is name-calling, I think I made my point. 

DeWitt Bacon

Frank and Jim, Good ones, as usual.

But when a deaf person goes to court, perhaps it should be called a signing?

Jim Coats

Signing!!!  Why didn't I think of that??

Frank Wiley

So I figured out why Lyin Biden won't go to the Border---------he's afraid he might run into Hunter's "Drug Pusher"!!  It's reported that between 600 and 700 Billion of the new 1.3 Trillion Democrat Spending is discretionary.  Meaning they can continue to hand out money to "Flakes".

DeWitt Bacon

Frank, Hunter may be the drug pusher. I wonder how much of that 10% that goes to pop is in drugs.

I just heard that a man was fired from a company for being transgender. He denied it vehemently, but when they handed him his pink slip, he put it on.

  Happy holidays

I have had a hard time trying to see what political or nor political party I belong  in...its very hard being in the middle.or not embracing the edges of political though .I intend to go Independent. We need to be open....and that was what made me proud to be an American. I don't remember waking up in the baracks and asking the guy next to me are you a Republican, or what do you think of Ronald Rayguns.

 Hey I really love voting by mail....I look it as: so many more people dont have to wait in line....I would prefer having my ballot counted vs using a machine.  I remember being able to vote right away since I was a Democrat in a heavy Republican district.

Im sorry that some people cant express themselves because of what others say...well hell with what others say...you dont have to protect yourself by justification....you are given the right to vote and express your view so liberals or concervatives I love hearing what you saysing...no you dont need to research..you have a right to a yes or no and a I really like them thrown in.or for that matter the opposite as in they suck.

What are your hobbies,,what do you like to do...and just because you have a vast hustler or national geographic collection..or: catholic digest, readers digest...I have seen interesting things in several...and please don't tell me nuns' are woman...it will thoroughly screw me up.

The boarder sure is getting all screwed up....I can solve the problem....we will open new taco bells on the boarder and they will have Enchiritoes...yes with olives (black).

I don't like the infield fly rule....either..but expect everything else will be solved first.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAVE A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR.

I saw a Lady at Costco who was wearing a tee shirt with this quote on it. "I was never fondled by Trump, but I was screwed by Biden!"  Her next stop was probably the $.99 Store.
