For this reason, tomorrow's post will be the same as this message: I'm outta here for awhile. I'm hoping I can do SOME kind of post soon, but if it takes a few days, don't fret. <br /><br />If I CAN, I'll try to log on here regularly to converse in the comments section (on tomorrow's post, that is).

I was going to use JJ Wyatt Foundation but could not get in to make a donation then maybe a donation to both. I could donate to me brother that barely escaped disaster but he would probably spend it on Guns, Ammo and SMS. On your continuing soap opera of the remodeling, I have been laughing for a while as I have been there, done that and almost got a heart attack for the continuous bills. Then, I think the crook's book is in the same category as Fort Worthless Jim Wright's book. Did you notice that AlGore's book is like about #2300 or so on the Best Seller's list? Ah, poor author.

How confused and worried she must ...Oh poor Penny. How confused and worried she must be. Certainly similar to what our dog felt when we last moved; getting locked in a completely empty house for hours that we had just spent the last week emptying, while we left to attend the closing. Imagine his relief and confusion when we came back to get him, but then only to drive to a new and far away place, never to return. Always feel bad for doing that to him.<br /><br /><b>Hillary:</b> Considering the creepdom that Hillary has been surrounded by for her entire adult life, it certainly is hard to imagine that being on the same stage with Donald Trump was the moment that her skin finally crawled. (For some strange reason, she didn't have this problem when she & Bill attended various other events with Trump, including a wedding) <b>But for the sake of graciousness, I'll take her at her word for it and will be thankful she's not our President, a job where our leader is regularly faced with all kinds of examples of <i>toxic masculinity</i> in the forms of our enemies.</b><br /><br />And I'd think that such a statement would garner the ire of the feminist world. After all, if Hillary isn't up to the job, what woman could possibly be?<br /><br /><b>The ironically-named "Antifa":</b> The continued existence of a group of anti-fascists who without any sense of irony behave just like, I should say <i>exactly like</i> fascists is yet more proof of several points I've been making over the last decade or so:<br /><br />o The $1.3-trillion of outstanding student loan debt in America went completely to waste.<br /><br />o Because of that, most people do not know that <i>fascism</i> and <i>communism</i> are basically the same thing, only differing in how the bookkeeping is done.<br /><br />o Outside of sex, there is absolutely nothing "liberal" about "liberals" anymore.<br /><br />o It's way too easy for people to survive and be bored in America. This is what you ultimately get when people with no worthwhile core values have nothing better to do.<br /><br /><b>Texas:</b> Heart wrenching, but not so much for Progressives who have decided that Texas deserves God's wrath because it's a red state. Adding to the irony impairment is the fact that Houston went for Hillary. So, in other words, if the atheist left is correct, perhaps God is punishing them for voting for Hillary. In any event, it makes as much sense as anything else they're arguing these days.<br /><br />Oh, and today's example of "fake news"? Melina's choice of footwear.<br /><br /><b>MTV:</b> They still around? In the early '80s, I opined that MTV was destroying pop music by making visual appearance more important that the music itself. It took barely a decade for my observation to be indisputably proven when a couple of dancing fools who weren't even on their own record won industry accolades for singing the best song of the year.<br /><br />Then we got anti-music, rap, where any fool without any musical talent what-so-ever could be a star as long as he had a rap sheet, the kind of which had absolutely nothing at all to do with musical talent.<br /><br />Rap music had done more damage to black America than the KKK or neo-Nazis could even imagine doing.<br /><br />MTV is literally our cultural diarrhea. One of the reasons I gave up cable TV was because I was sick of subsidizing it.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-40800864294669622312017-08-30T14:48:24.063-05:002017-08-30T14:48:24.063-05:00@Anonymous- I hated to post that video, but it cre...@Anonymous- I hated to post that video, but it created outrage and sadness in me that I had to share. And just <i>describing</i> that obscenity wouldn't have conveyed the true horror of it. The coarseness of it is almost literally sub-human, and I despair at the fact that it's considered appropriate to share in an open venue and a major (God help us) "cultural event."<br /><br />And yes, I tend to feel rather outnumbered these days - which is why I appreciate this little community we share so much!<br /><br />@westibear- Thanks for the recommendation. As soon as I finish these remarks, I'll go take a look!<br /><br />@Shelly- As is always the case, it's impossible to imagine a major conservative event playing an "F--- Obama" song. I genuinely detest these people.<br /><br />And I totally agree that the Clinton "marriage" is, and always has been, about power rather than love...or even sex.<br /><br />@Sandy Link- Frankly, I thought Hillary was going to arrange for Bill to have an "accident" during her campaign to get the sympathy vote. Now I think she'll probably do it just for fun.<br /><br />Regarding what kids are reading in school these days, I'm sure we wouldn't be happy about the selections. And thanks for the encouraging words on the remodeling. It's hard for me to imagine that I'll <i>ever</i> get to the stage of thinking "well, that wasn't so bad" - but let's keep our fingers crossed.<br /><br />@Colby Muenster- The whole idea that Trump was "breathing down (her) neck" is a lie. Hillary is aware of the photos - taken with long lenses - that made it LOOK like he was right behind her, but pictures made from a different angle show that he was actually far away from her. So she's not even recounting what she felt at the time; she's lying based on deceptive photos that she knows people have seen.<br /><br />And thanks for seconding the opinion about Samaritan's Purse. That's good enough for me.<br /><br />@Sandy Link- Okay, that's actually a pretty good list of books. My question is whether these are just being recommended by a group, or if these are actually being used in schools?Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-79764275366887078682017-08-30T14:47:49.718-05:002017-08-30T14:47:49.718-05:00@REM1875- Seeing the suffering going on in my home...@REM1875- Seeing the suffering going on in my home state, it makes me doubly angry knowing that the Clintons stole so much money from impoverished victims in Haiti. I may not be a theological expert, but I'm pretty sure they belong in Hell.<br /><br />@rickn8or- The FBI will not honor FOIA requests because <i>no one is interested in Hillary Clinton?!</i> Seriously, it's time to shutter that whole organization.<br /><br />@jpb252- I'm sorry, did you say the song has a "nice beat" or that the artist could use a "nice beating?"<br /><br />@Mike aka Proof- Our eyes ain't lying: these are very bad people.<br /><br />@pgm1972- I doubt many actual PEOPLE will buy the book (let alone read it), though there may be huge sales from Soros-style organizations as yet another way of sending laundered money to Hillary.<br /><br />@Fish Out of Water- Excellent points. Did we really want a first female President who is still playing the victim card?<br /><br />@Judi King- Compared to those hit by the storm, I don't have a single thing to complain about. Not that I plan to STOP complaining - it's a coping mechanism. For instance, this morning I tried to unplug the coffee maker from a dangling outlet (our switchplates have been removed) and managed to give myself a nice jolt of electricity. No real harm done, but OUCH.<br /><br />Regarding the rapper, it was very difficult to decipher his mumbling, illiterate run-up to the actual profane song. Still, if he WANTS to be called "nigga" then I'm increasingly willing to go along.<br /><br />@Mark Matis- In her remarks, Hillary said she was "used to men trying to throw me off." Sounds like SHE may have been a rapist, too!<br /><br />@Jack Wiegman- I'm sure you're right.<br /><br />@Alfonso Bedoya- NOW you're talking!<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- If we can have laws against possession of drug paraphernalia, how about doing the same for "violent rioting" paraphernalia? And yes, let's start with those face masks.<br /><br />And regarding looters, I think some "examples" should be made and well publicized.<br /><br />@Emmentaler Limburger- I've never considered rap or hip-hop or whatever the heck they're calling it to be even <i>remotely</i> music-related. It's idiocy, profanity, and (pardon my cultural bias) primitive tribalism. I can honestly say that I think less of anyone who shows familiarity with the genre.<br /><br />@Geoff King- I think future generations <i>will</i> be exposed to "1984," but a version that has been rewritten as a glorious celebration rather than an ominous warning. And I'm still stunned that there was a little blip of time recently when the sales of "1984" shot up because the illiterati thought it amounted to condemnation of Trump and the Right.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-54021275247134720602017-08-30T13:18:27.553-05:002017-08-30T13:18:27.553-05:00Okay, so I found the recommended reading list for ...Okay, so I found the recommended reading list for teachers grades 9-12.

If your skin really did crawl, now you have a slight inkling of how normal people feel when they see your skanky face or hear you shrieking and cackling your leftist, hateful opinions. If Donald Trump was sneaking up behind you, he was probably trying to catch a glimpse of the lizard skin just under your collar where the mask ends.<br /><br />Yes, I know that was childish and not at all nice, but Hillary Clinton really does give me the creeps, and I wish she would just go the hell away and live out the rest of her pathetic life swimming in her bin of blood stained money.<br /><br />@Stilton,<br />I will echo westibear's recommendation if you are looking for a good charity that actually DOES good things. Granted, I'm somewhat biased being from NC, but Samaritan's Purse spends their money on action, not on TV ads bragging about their action.<br /><br />Antifa...

Anyone else remember hearing that? The MTV video should be listed as hate propaganda and those who made it should be sent to prison. This country is falling apart from the inside-out. I fear for my grandchildren's future and hope to God things change in the next few years. I don't think the body of America can take this type of torture much longer. And, Geoff King, your statement reminds me of the book burning carried out by the Nazis. It seems it is coming to that. Orwell's 1984 was required reading in my high school days. I am curious as to what is on their required reading lists in high schools now. Maybe I will check that out.
