Thank you Mike, but even I wouldn't go for Sainthood, even if I believed in saints.  But, I can see where you think I would qualify.  It must be good for you to hear from a thinking woman. In Buddhism, we do believe in recycling but I think you might mean reincarnation.  It's part of Buddhism I still question so you don't need to worry your brain about that either, you need to save as much as you can.

Biden said in an interview with CNN last night that amongst his other many Accomplishments he was the Character of which the Movie Forrest Gump was written after and that the part of the Movie where Forrest Gump runs for many miles for no Reason is patterned after him, only he was trying to get to the next Amtrak pickup point to take him to Puerto Rico where he grew up and learned to drive a Big Rig.

Frank, I agree with you about MTG and the squad although I do think MTG takes the trophy.  The squad needs to be more thoughtful in their statements. MTG need psychological help.  But, then MTG warned us of the Jewish space lasers, and I for one, am glad to know about them. (Cue the laugh line).

Mike K.--I'm glad Biden can run like Forrest otherwise the cannibals who ate his uncle might eat him.

Seems strange that the Biden interview on CNN  where he makes the Kelly reported statement by President Biden about Forrest Gump dosn't show up on their website.  So, if it was said at all, there is no way to tell if it was a joke or not.  Until it appears in print by CNN I will file it in the usual circular container.

Don't miss me too much but this is Mother's Day weekend and I will be doing things with my daughter.  Happy Mother's Day to all the women here.  I hope your day is as special as being a Mother.   I wouldn't give it up for anything else in the world. I'll be back at some point, you'll be OK until then!

Biden's Lie of the Day was that inflation was 9% when he took office.  It was 1.4 %.  It didn't hit 9% until June of 2022, almost 1 1/2 years later.

"This is no joke, folks." Why does Biden fall down so much? He keeps tripping over his own lies.

Trump stopped funds for Israel? That's funny. It was Trump who supported Israel and was able to send them what they needed to fight their enemies. Congress passed, and Biden signed, a bill that would support our allies, including Israel. Then, he stopped those funds and armaments to Israel. It's too bad Israel didn't give Hunter millions of dollars for 'The Big Guy.' Then maybe he would support Israel, too. --- Oh well, moving on.

I remember during the Vietnam War, Anti-war protesters were shouting down America. Patriots then shouted against them and carried signs that said, "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT." The protestors soon retaliated by saying, "CHANGE IT OR LOSE IT." Today, we have a President who is trying to change our country. And guess what? WE ARE LOSING IT.

Even some "honest democrats" are calling biden on his lies he told on the CNN Interview because it is becoming very evident that biden lies as easily as Toads croak. Biden is the worse President our Nation has ever had, even Jimmy Carter said so. To betray the Israeli people when they are at War with biden's Iranian funded Pals, Hamas, is a hint about just how much the Extreme Left influences biden in making his International Policy decisions. No other ally the USA has now feels that he is to be trusted even when Congress and the Senate back him. He will just reverse himself and then untimately blame Republicans. Biden Must Resign Now. There is nothing positive about his presidency, and never will be. His allowing the Southern Border to be Wide Open, and even to flying them free of charge from South and Central America to the USA is an attempt to buy Voters in order to Steal Another Election just like in 2020. 

A reocurring legal dodge to actually considering the Evidence of Voter Fraud in the 2020 cases was the Courts using the Defense of "Lack of Standing" which means that even if the Evidence all points to Voter Fraud, We, the Court won't consider it because You, the Petitoner, cannot represent the people actually aggrieved by the Fraudulent Voting because You are not Legally Considered as having the ability to Represent the Petiitioners because you cannot represent them as individuals. Into the shadows the Evidence of Fraudulent Voting facts goes because the Court ruling on Lack of Standing then passes around the Wash Basin, Soap, and Towel, and wasnes their hands, wipes on the Towel, and pronounces that the petitioners case must go where it must, in the Round File without a mention of the actual Facts. 

Some of us Get It. It the case, is too damned Hot to Handle, and too many people of influence are handling the Purse Strings, so best leave Justice alone, and save your own Ass. 

And so here we Are, Joe Biden is our President. Have a Good Day. frown

Billionaire family's and organizations funding anti-Israel groups, who protest at colleges, and other locations...ThePritzker family, which includes democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The Libra Foundation, The Climate Justice Alliance, Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity, The Immigrant Defense Project...The Pritzkers, alongside liberal billionaire George Soros, are also founders of the Tides Foundation, a left-wing organization that funds other small progressive groups, including Adalah Justice Project, a participant in the protest at Columbia University that was broken up last week...In addition to the DCCC and House Majority Pac, the list of corrupt Democrats, receiving money from the corrupt Pritzkers is longer than I wanted to type................

It looks like the mentally challenged biden, just can't stop pissing off his own people...Billionaire mega-donor Haim Saban, sends biden backdoor warning over Israel ultimatum:  ' Let's not forget that there are more Jewish voters, who care about Israel, than Muslim voters that care about hamas '. Over biden's apparent new policy toward Israel. Sending an email to two top biden advisers, Steve Ricchetti and Anita Dunn. Telling biden, " Bad...bad...bad decision, on all levels. Pls reconsider ". This was just part of his letter to biden. biden is nothing more than a traitor, to everyone !!!..............

Frank W. about your 13660 upon reflection I believe that even Cannibals are cautious about Food Poisoning.!!!

The News is that biden has decided to use the monies Voted to help Israel to be diverted to funding Hamas allegedly because they are short on Food and Water. If he was a Mature, fully Comprehending Adult, Id say he should be out of a Job, and needs a "trip behind the Barn" as he once said he would like to do to Trump. So, lets just skip the Election 2024 and all the potential of having yet another Election stolen, no need to register Illegal Aliens to Vote, Let's just have biden and Trump put on the gloves 3 rounds of 5 minutes behind the Barn Best Man Win No Weapons, No Secret Service, No Sick Outs. We need a Leader, not a Glee Club favorite. Weve put up with biden for 3 and a half years, and nothing going to get better especially if biden is elected again. And for you Anti Trumpies, TDS embracers, don't like it, LEAVE.

The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump’s popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity.

Marshall Kamena is a registered Democrat and was elected mayor of Livermore, CA.. He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is as conservative as they come. He wrote the following:

 

Trump’s 'Lack of Decorum, Dignity, and Statesmanship' By Marshall Kamena, Mayor of Livermore, CA.

 

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

 

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush, as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship.

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – 'till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors.

Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was vulgar-talking. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastard, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s "Rules for Radicals" – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.

It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered, but in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.  He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule, which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. They need to respond.

This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.

These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about Mr. Trump - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

   In Washington, D.C.  an old priest lay dying in the hospital.  For years he had faithfully served the people of the Nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. 

     He motioned for his nurse to come near…………"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

     "I would really like to see President Biden and Senator Schumer before I die, "whispered the priest.

     "I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.

     The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response.  Soon the word arrived; President Biden and Chuck Schumer would be delighted to visit the priest.

    As they went to the hospital, Biden commented to Schumer, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected." 

    Schumer agreed that it was a good thing.

    When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Biden's hand in his right hand and Schumer's hand in his left hand.  There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

    Finally President Biden spoke.  "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

  The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after  our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

   "Amen", said Biden.  …… "Amen", said Schumer.

   The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thievesI would like to do the same."

Remember the adage “Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”? Well, it is alive and well on this forum. Anyone who thinks they can post lies and not get caught is just plain stupid. Facts will always win out.

Marshall Kamena is an ardent Democrat and was mayor of Livermore, California from 2001 to 2011, long before Trump ever even ran for President, much less was elected President. The story attributed by one of our alumni was a parody written in 2017 by Evan Sayet, a conservative comedian, and published in Townhall, a far-right publication. Sayet also authored the book “How the Modern Liberal Thinks: And Why He’s Convinced That Ignorance Is Bliss.” A book often quoted from by the Heritage Organization, another far-right organization.

Given that this former student utilizes a lesser know web browser, perhaps it is no wonder he is so easily mislead. DuckDuckGo is nothing more than a product that utilizes other web browsers, most notably Yahoo and Bing, as it’s search engines, but blocks most advertisements and cookies. However, it also uses Yandex, a Russian owned search engine known for spreading false information about American politics to spur discontent among and within an already dysfunctional American political environment. Anyone who blindly reads, much less copies and posts as truth, anything from DuckDuckGo without first doing their due diligence and fact checking what they so genuinely want to believe, is a fool.

I took some liberty because I don't think the person to whom the reply was meant is insane. Simply stupid.

Insanity is missing the entire point that certain people again and again post things so easily fact checked and make themselves look stupid in the process.

Richard D. in my opinion Marshall Kamena has pretty well analyzed the relative positions that exist between Conservatives and Progressives or whatever you style yourselves. He also has accurately described why some of you folks are so insamely afraid, and hate Donald J. Trump. I have noticed that whenever you want to attribute an article or other written material that you consider deficient by your nebulous standard you inveitably call its origin a 'Far Right Publication" so tell us, what is a Conservative Publication or do you even acknowledge that any exist.

Marshall Kamena nailed it when he recounted what Conservatrives tend to do by his recounting of how George W. Bush was treated by Liberals/Progressives, and how the treatment Liberals/Progressives doled out to Mitt Romney, and then John McCain while they remain constantly on the attack, demeaning with their insinuations how inferior they feel that Conservatives happen to be in your estimation. 

You even plucked out from your repertoire the old adage about how insandity is shown by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a change. That must mean you consider us Conservatives not having the full number of Bricks to make up a Load. That is defined as RUDE RICHARD!

So here's your chance Richard, do you have it in  you to address the Conservitves here with the same deference you show towards your Progressive friends. Instead of jumping at the chance you think of insinuating that whoever you are writing about is somehow inferior to you. You have become the self appointed Head Nun with the Ruler that wraps knuckles whenever the mood hits you. Who needs it, I sure Don't.

Rick Santilli, Economy reporter with CNBC is one of my favorites.  Historically he has been on the money.  Today the report on inflation was not good.  Up again!!  But the real problem is that the Government once again "Gaslighted" us because they adjusted UP a past inflation report.
