Lunch Reads for Friday, May 18, 2018
Y’all. I even set a reminder. Campaign life fries your brain.
- At least 8 are dead in a Santa Fe school shooting.
- Because campaign disclosures are interesting, I don’t care who you are.
- Well, if this isn’t the sweetest thing I have read all morning.
- In the world of totally bizarre news...
- I was going to do a GeorgiaPol buy in for the Power Ball, but these folks say no bueno.
- Don’t throw away any old rusty boxes you find in the back yard.
- Prayers for the Big Island and the victims of the volcano.
- The White House is making bold moves in federal funding for abortion.
- Charlie might be able to eat romaine lettuce again in his salads.

Somethings going to leak this afternoon, they tell me, that perhaps Trump paid a woman to have an abortion during the campaign. I don’t know.
But hey, the end justifies the means.
Meaning a woman he might have been having sex with before his 2016 run?
I don’t know, they tell me during the campaign. First trimester abortion or something like that.
Not sure, something about payments made by Trumps lawyer.
Personally, I’m opposed to abortion, but it should be left up to the individual to make that decision.
At least he had him on a leash. That’s the responsible thing to do.

Unfortunately…its 10 dead in today’s school shooting. Nine students and one teacher.
“Y’all been sending thoughts and prayers for two freaking decades now,” tweeted Rep. Gene Wu, who represents the Gulfton area. “Time to try something new.”
Common sense like getting rid of gun-free zones that makes a crazy fu-k feel comfortable enough to do stuff like this knowing he’s the only one armed on campus? That common sense change in policy? Otherwise, no more restrictions of any kind. If the local jewelry store can have an armed guard, then so can every school in America. Every one.
The future of the 2nd Amendment: The meaning of “to keep” does not include the meaning of “to acquire”.
What ?
Namcy Pelosi says MS-13 terrorists have their own “Spark of Divinity.” And y’all wonder why you all will lose again – badly – in November.
First of all, who the hell is this “y’all” of which you speak? I’m not even a registered Democrat, I just don’t support a BATSHIT-crazy, nationalistic Republican party. I voted for W both times so I am hardly a liberal.
It is funny how people like you focus so much on Nancy Pelosi. I mean if it’s not her it is something about Maxine Waters and I seriously doubt you could point to South Central LA on a blank map of California.
Keep on Panderin’ for those votes, Nancy!!! She just made an in-kind contribution to TGM’s campaign! Love it!! Defend the undefendable! Maybe have some MS-13 over for lunch at yor place in San Fran, Namcy! This tag line just wrote itself!!!! “Spark of Divinity”, you say?? ‘Cept if you commit murder in utero….
Wisconsin boy, Big Ten God, and all around great guy…

If you live south and east of a line that roughly crosses Georgia from Cuthbert to Clarkes Hill Reservoir then it might surprise you that you live in a “constitution-free zone”. A federal agency can legally enter your property without consent or a warrant (though not your “dwelling”). They can and do setup checkpoints demanding identification, authorized to pull you over without cause, and even legally allowed to racially profile in these stops. Which agency? Why the Customs and Border Protection Bureau of course. Granted, most of this occurs within 100 miles of the Mexican border but with this article I was shocked to find that 65% of our population is susceptible to having their civil rights ignored by decrees in place since 1953.

Not a “right” of course, but when did we lose the privilege of editing our own comments.
I’ve moved on to spinach. Preferably with toasted walnuts, goat cheese, and a hot bacon vinaigrette dressing.
I make a one skillet wilted leaf version of this. Has mushrooms, red onions and fresh corn. Involves bourbon.
And why not? Another Radical Lib getting her Participation Trophy!!!

This is almost as embarrassing as Obama’s Nobel prize he received the first week he was in office…
Ah yes. A lovely reminder of a more humble, eloquent, and competent leader:
“Obama said he was “surprised” and “deeply humbled” by the award. In remarks given at the White House Rose Garden on the day of the announcement, Obama stated, “I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.”[15]
“Throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it’s also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes,” Obama said. “And that is why I will accept this award as a call to action — a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.”

I’m in need of a tissue. B, can you hand me one please?
No tissues for you, tough guy!
If you are jealous, I can think of a couple of awards we can offer for your hero Il Duce Deuce.
Lol! Musta hit pretty clise to the mark to get him all riled up! As fellow perjurors do uou think they’ll share a cell?

If/when the FBI or Mueller or anyone else charges anyone with something, that person will get to see the evidence against them. If an investigation is needed, that would be the time and venue to explore that. Until then, this is all just P/R posturing. Or paranoia. Or dementia. Or delusion.
He is in trouble. That IG report is going to skewer him. Which communist party candidate for president did Brennan vote for?
Much like how rock stars have t-shirts that outline their current tour , like, maybe, “Metallica 2002”. And two columns on the back listi g the cities, right? Well, here’s one: “Dabury 2018”. And two rows of names on the back. Left row: Hillary, Bill, Chelsea, Lynch and Holder. Right side: Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Comey, Mueller. Sales to begin forthwith!
It’s time to ban automobiles!

“This is what REAL feminism looks like. Strong, smart, confident, and armed,”

Keep up That Narrative!
With all of your handguns you own, would you encourage your wife to carry in her purse if she wanted to?
