What’s Really Important

Praise be to Almighty God for giving our beloved Chrissy the strength to recover from her afflictions. She is an important part of our tiny family here. When one hurts, we all hurt.

My precious Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Roger’s wife, officially retired Monday at the age of 82. She joined us for breakfast this morning, along with their youngest daughter Mary, who I haven’t seen for almost 40 years. Our little breakfast club is growing as more of the family gets reacquainted with each other. One of the constants of life is that there is nothing so important as family. When you’ve lived a full life, hopefully achieved most of what you wanted to and look back,  hopefully you are content that you have done your best. We spent so many decades working and raising our families that life seemed to have passed us by. The importance of being together takes on added importance as the sands of time start to run out. It is an incredible joy just being together as a family like we did when Granny would summon everyone for Sunday dinner. Having people who love you is what’s really important.

    Mitt Romney Calls Donald Trump a Conman, a Fake and Phony
    THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLY
    Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney called Donald Trump a phony, fraud and con artist … Then he challenged the Republican front-runner to respond to his uncivil attacks with civility.

    TRUMP: Mitt Wanted My Endorsement So Badly – I Could Have Told Him to Drop to His Knees
    Donald Trump responded to Mitt Romney’s unprecedented attack on his campaign.
    Donald Trump held another sold-out rally in Portland, Maine.
    I HAVE TO ADMIT,TRUMP DON’T TAKE NO MESS

    Mitt is a failed candidate. He failed. He failed horribly. He was begging for my endorsement. I could have said Mitt drop to your knees. He would have dropped to his knees.

    Democrats Have A Lot Riding On Hillary Clinton And Immunity Should Be A Four Letter For Them…

    THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS HANDED OVER TO THIS SHRIVELED OLD HAG THE DAY AFTER THEY THREW HER OVER FOR THE CHOCOLATE MUSLIM.NOW LORETTA LYNCH WILL COME UP WITH SOME SORRY EXCUSE WHY SHE WON’T PROSECUTE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
    The news broke late Wednesday night in The Washington Post:

    The Justice Department has granted immunity to a former State Department staffer, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server, as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official.

    The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.

    Ted Koppel: Republicans Are Gonna Do Everything They Can to Take It Away From Trump At the Convention

    Ted Koppel never imagined Trump would make it this far. Now he believes Trump will be the nominee but predicts Republicans will try to take it all away we get to the Convention in Cleveland because they believe Trump’s nomination will cost them control of Congress.

    O’Reilly also asks Koppel how he would go about interviewing Trump.

    Uncle Joe Biden is At It Again

    Politico reports that Joe Biden hosted an event to honor Black History Month at his home at the Naval Observatory Tuesday. Never mind that Tuesday was March 1st and Black History Month is in February. But should we really expect anything but from Joe.

    I’m going to miss Joe when he’s gone…..
    I’M NOT

    Barack And Michelle Take A Break From Golfing To Go To South By Southwest Film Festival…
    WHAT GHETTO TRASH

    South by Southwest has announced that President Barack Obama will appear as part of a keynote conversation at SXSW Interactive on March 11.

    First Lady Michelle Obama will be the opening keynote at SXSW Music on March 16.

    SXSW said Wednesday that it’s the first time in its 30-year history that a sitting president and the first lady have participated in the event.
    IT’S THE FIRST TIME THERE’S BEEN A COUPLE WHO DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYBODY BUT THEMSELVES
    I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate our event’s 30th year than to welcome both the president and first lady to SXSW,” said SXSW co-founder Roland Swenson. “As each new generation comes up at SXSW, they look for ways they can be of service, and it’s important to reflect and support that message. President and Mrs. Obama’s visit here will inspire attendees to that purpose.”

    The festival opens March 11 with the world premiere of Richard Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some.”
    SOUNDS LIKE A VERITABLE ORGY OF SOCIALISM

    What the hell?!
    DIANNY ALSO TOOK NOTICE OF CANKLES’ CHOICE IN WARDROBE.
    I THINK SHE’S HIDING HER COLOSTOMY BAG,PERSONALLY

    Sweet merciful Zeus. What the hell happened to Hillary’s waist?!

    Did you see pictures from Hillary’s Super Tuesday victory speech?

    If anybody could use one of Michelle Obama’s boob belts right about now it’s Hillary.

    Why not just cut a hole in a cardboard box and drop it over her head?

    Then again, thanks to the sheer material of that white smock, seems like we get a bit of a peek as to what little shape Hillary’s body still appears to have.

    Yikes.

    I know this isn’t the first time I’ve asked this, but who the hell dresses this woman?!

    Do they not care that the bigger the MuMu gets the tinier her head appears?

    One look at that hideously over-large frock and suddenly, “Girlfriend is Better” by the Talking Heads got stuck in my talking head.

    Remember David Byrne’s “Big Suit?”

    Thanks, Pete. I had to be on the go today and your round-up here is about all I can stomach tonight. It’s great to be able to go to one place for the important stuff, and a few grins as a bonus.
