If you ever ask a child a question, you know you are going to get the truth – the whole truth and nothing but the honest truth! When an 8-year-old was asked to write a paper about Grandparents, well we get to learn things about being a grandparent we may have never known!
Comments Off on Why Our Grandchildren Are So Precious
We all know him.War hero,married to a fabulously wealthy beer heiress,going into his 30th year as a US senator.A favorite on the Sunday talk show circuit,owing to his zeal in stabbing his fellow republicans in the back.his career has been based solely on the years he spent as a POW during the VietNam war.He lost a close primary to George W. Bush in 2000,which put him next in line for a presidential run based on the GOPe hierarchy.We will never know how he would have fared against a previously unknown mulatto from Illinois who had never worked for anything in his life.He seemed more concerned with looking gentlemanly and barely said a negative thing about a community organizer who was plainly the most radical person ever to run for the office.
But unless you’ve been a political junkie for a lot of years you may not be aware of how completely corrupt and willing he is to throw anybody under the bus to save his cushy job.After bowing down and handing the presidency to the Magic Negro he ran for his next term against a talk show host,J.D.Hayworth and spent more than $4 million viciously attacking him.NOBODY! can get his seat from him.He has the money,the power and the party backing to be an incumbent as long as he wishes.
THE KEATING FIVE
McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five
You’re John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.
Obviously, Keating thought you could make it to the White House, too.
He poured $112,000 into your political campaigns. He became your friend. He threw fund raisers in your honor. He even made a sweet shopping-center investment deal for your wife, Cindy. Your father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was cut in on the deal, too.
Nothing was too good for you. Why not? Keating saw you as a prime investment that would pay off in the future.
DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR????
Since Keating’s collapse, you find yourself doing obscene things to save yourself from the Senate Ethics Committee’s investigation. As a matter of course, you engage in backbiting behavior that will turn you into an outcast in the Senate if you do survive.
When the reporters fail to print your tips quickly enough–as in the case of your tip on Michigan Senator Donald Riegle–you call them back and remind them how important it is to get that information in the newspapers.
Those who survive will be the sociopaths who can tell a lie with the most sincere, straight face. You are especially adept at this.
On Sunday, Senators Dennis DeConcini, Alan Cranston, and Riegle refused offers to appear on the Brinkley show. What must we make of that?
There you sat with Glenn, both sweating before the cameras, waiting to answer questions: two badly tarnished American icons.
No one forgets that Glenn was the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth. You won’t let anyone forget that you were a prisoner of war. But you have played that tune too long. By now your constant reminders about your war record make you seem like a modern version of Arthur Miller’s tragic failure Willy Loman.
Clearly, both you and Glenn sold your fame for Charles Keating’s money.
Just keep telling everyone that it was your wife’s money invested in that shopping center with Keating and that you knew nothing about it.
You sought out a master criminal like Keating and became his friend. Now you’ve discarded him. It shouldn’t be surprising that you are now in the process of selling out your senatorial accomplices.
You’re John McCain, clearly the guiltiest, most culpable and reprehensible of the Keating Five. But you know the power of television and you realize this is the only way you can possibly save your political career.
THIS MAN IS EVERY BIT A CORRUPT LIAR AS HIS FRIENDS THE DEMOCRATS. http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/mccain-the-most-reprehensible-of-the-keating-five-6431838
Today’s task is to cull the articles I’ve bookmarked over the past few days, pick out the ones that are informative, inspirational,thought-provoking and socially significant. After I delete those I’ll have the normal mindless drivel you’ve come to expect from me.
Obama could use 5 minute window to FORCE SCOTUS PICK Garland Obama has one last chance to force his pick for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, on to the highest court in the land. Obama will have a 5 minute window known as “intersession recess” when he can force the move.
The liberal New Republic believes that Obama should put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court during this intersession recess although they state: “Based on everything we know about Obama’s temperament and politics, he won’t resort to this.”
Most conservatives would say that based on everything we know about Obama’s temperament and politics he is highly likely to resort to this.
IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN HE’LL TRY THIS. HE ACTS LIKE THE SPOILED BRAT WHO DIDN’T GET EVERYTHING HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS SO HE’S SETTING ABOUT BREAKING EVERYBODY ELSE’S STUFF SO THEY CAN’T ENJOY IT.
[CtH: GREAT analogy, Pete. That’s exactly what he’s acting like!]
Frank Luntz: Obama on a ‘FU Tour,’ Trying to ‘Settle Scores’ With Republicans
[CtH: The new sugary drinks “tax is higher than the one on alcoholic beverages.” Cuz, yeah, THAT totally makes sense. I’m so sure sugar is worse for you than alcohol. NOT.]
YOU WONDER WHY PENNSYLVANIA WENT REPUBLICAN?
Sean Spicer: Trump to ‘Repeal a Lot’ of Obama’s Actions on Day One In an interview with ABC’s “This Week”, Trump’s incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal a lot of President Barack Obama’s executive actions in his first day in office.
Spicer said that the Trump administration will immediately “repeal a lot of the regulations and actions that have been taken by this administration over the last eight years that have hampered both economic growth and job creation.”
Obama will travel to the Capitol on Wednesday morning for the meeting with House and Senate Democrats, according to an invitation sent to lawmakers. The White House is casting it as an effort to unite Democrats behind a plan to protect the law, known as the Affordable Care Act. Obama also plans a major valedictory speech in Chicago, his hometown, shortly before his presidency ends.
[CtH: I had lab work today at the hospital, where CNN was blatting in the waiting room. The talking heads were hyperventilating about Trump’s eeeeeeeeevil plan to sabotage Obamacare. I sat there wondering if they’d had even the slightest concern back in 2009 about what negative effects it might have or about the totally bogus way the Democrats passed it … in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and without a single Republican vote? I can’t say for sure, but my guess is they did not.]
Schumer: “Democrats Will Resist Trump’s Picks Vehemently!” TRANSLATION: WE’RE GOING TO BE THE SAME HATEFUL, DESTRUCTIVE PRICKS WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN
According to the report, Schumer told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he will target Trump’s pick for the head of State, Sen. Jeff Sessions for head of the Justice Department, and two other notable appointees.
Democrats will also target picks for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, Treasury and the Environmental Protection Agency.
[CtH: And the MSM will self-righteously depict every accusation as totally legit, just like they did back when Anita Hill was the Democrat Lying Shill trying to sabotage Clarence Thomas.]
The Daily Beast‘s Jackie Kucinich said to CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson on Sunday that it would be interesting to see what kind of reception President Obama will receive when he meets congressional Democrats next week, adding that the president has hung his party “out to dry” during his time in the White House.
[CtH: I remember hearing a story some years ago about a meeting of top Democrat leaders in Congress. Obama was “there” via conference call, but reportedly, as he yammered on and on the way he does, someone (I think it was Pelosi) hit MUTE! Then the continued their meeting.]
Democrats prepare for early ‘act of cowardice’ with GOP attempt to repeal Obamacare
QUOTH THE FOUR-TERM MINORITY LEADER
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, preparing for her fourth straight Congress in the minority — she lost her speakership in 2010, in an anti-Obamacare backlash — now says it’s the GOP that will pay a political price if it moves to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. “You break it, you own it,” the California Democrat said.
Alabama band to march at inauguration, igniting controversy GOOD ON THEM
The marching band of Alabama’s oldest private, historically black liberal arts college has accepted an invitation to perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural parade, organizers said.
“After how black people were treated at Trump’s rallies, you’re going to go and shuck and jive down Pennsylvania Avenue? For what?” Seinya SamForay said in an interview. “What they did is a slap in the face to other black universities.”
HOW WERE BLACK PEOPLE TREATED AT TRUMP RALLIES? WITH A HELL OF A LOT MORE RESPECT THAN TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO WERE ROUTINELY ASSAULTED BY YOUR HATEFUL RACIST BRETHREN.
SO MANY Trump Hate Hoaxes By Deranged Liberal Fascists – The Complete Video
The left has made it a sport to fake hate crimes. And since the historic November election hate hoaxes are a dime a dozen.
There have been at least 17 faked hate crimes NOT committed by Trump supporters since the November election.
What should be noted is that there were 2,000 verified hate crimes against Trump supporters since the election.
So we all know where the real hate, violence and intolerance exist.
The First Family rung in 2017 at their Kailua vacation rental and spent the night before enjoying a luau Downbeat-looking Sasha and Malia return from Hawaii with their parents after last family vacation on Air Force One. The Obamas departed Hawaii around 10pm on Sunday and arrived Monday at Andrews Air Force Base. Obama spent his last day on the island visiting his grandfather’s grave and spending time at the beach.

CHECK OUT MOOCH IN HER WALRUS COAT AND STYLISH JACKBOOTS
Melania Trump Rocked a Black Dolce & Gabbana Minidress for New Year’s Eve WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN FIRST LADIES
On its site, the brand described the dress as being made of virgin wool and spandex. It has bows on each strap, which are embellished with jewels and a fitted silhouette that hits a few inches below the knee. The dress retails for $2,995.
TRUMP PAID FOR IT WITH HIS OWN MONEY … BIG DIFFERENCE.
[CtH: Actually, the real difference is that Trump made his dough creating jobs, while Obama became a multi-millionaire largely due to sale of his autobiography that he probably didn’t write. I’m fairly certain the taxpayers never had to pay for Michelle’s wardrobe. That’s probably not true of her staff’s salaries and benefits, which include a hairdresser and makeup artist. But the clothes themselves, no.]
[CtH: Wow … Michelle’s dress is truly heinous. Hillary had a couple of expensive designer outfits during the campaign that were butt ugly too. What’s with their lack of taste? Both of them can afford to buy beautiful clothes by designers who know how to make a woman look her best. So why do they shop with designers whose outfits are ugly and unflattering to their figures?]
[CtH: While Dearest and I were enjoying our breakfast date at the cute cafe in the hospital (following my overnight fast for tests), the Garden Club ladies showed up to take down all the beautiful decorations they’d put up for the holidays. I just had to go thank them. They’re all volunteers and those decorations had cheered me up today while I was feeling so hungry and thirsty and uncomfortable getting all those tests done. I’m glad I got there before they came down. Tomorrow would’ve been too late.]
John Kerry is the definition of a classic liberal. As a college student he realized politics was the only profession where you can make millions while accomplishing basically nothing. He enlisted in the Navy because he felt it would “look good on his resume.” In a span of four months he managed to recommend himself for three Purple Hearts, one for getting rice kernels lodged in his ass when he threw a grenade into a pile of rice bags. He made sure there was a cameraman to film his shooting a teenage Viet Cong in the back as he ran away.
He married heiress Julia Thorne in 1970. Thorne met Kerry in 1963 at her family’s estate in Bay Shore, New York on Long Island. Kerry was a Yale classmate of Thorne’s twin brother David. Thorne married Kerry on May 23, 1970 and divorced on July 25, 1988, after a six-year separation. She and John had two daughters together.
Overall, Kerry had lackluster grades at Yale, graduating with a cumulative average of 76 over his four years. His freshman-year average was a 71, but he improved to an 81 average his senior year. He never received an “A” during his time at Yale; his highest grade was an 89.
TWO YEARS AFTER HIS DIVORCE FROM THORNE, HE PETITIONED TO HAVE HIS MARRIAGE ANNULLED SO HE COULD MARRY HIS SUGAR MAMA, TERESA HEINZ, WIDOW OF REPUBLICAN SENATOR JOHN HEINZ AND HEIR TO THE KETCHUP FORTUNE.
After the charade of serving in the Navy, he committed the ultimate betrayal of testifying falsely about the “atrocities’ he claimed he saw American soldiers commit. After returning to the United States, Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). Then numbering about 20,000, VVAW was considered by some (including the administration of President Richard Nixon) to be an effective, if controversial, component of the antiwar movement.Congressman James Shannon, a favorite of House Speaker Tip O’Neill, was the early favorite to win the nomination, and he “won broad establishment support and led in early polling.” Again as in 1982, however, Kerry prevailed in a close primary.
In his general election campaign, Kerry promised to mix liberalism with tight budget controls. He defeated Republican Ray Shamie despite a nationwide landslide for the re-election of Republican President Ronald Reagan, for whom Massachusetts voted by a narrow margin.[80][81] In his victory speech, Kerry asserted that his win meant that the people of Massachusetts “emphatically reject the politics of selfishness and the notion that women must be treated as second-class citizens.”
[CtH: Sorry, pal, but when you win by a narrow margin, it means the voters haven’t “emphatically” done anything.]
HE BRAGGED INCESSANTLY ABOUT HIS “SERVICE” IN VIETNAM AND WHEN HE DECLARED FOR PRESIDENT IN 2004, THE MEN WHO SERVED WITH HIM ROSE, ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY, TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS CHARLATAN. THEY WERE VILIFIED, BUT THE FACT THEY HAD THE BONAFIDES TO BACK UP THEIR WORDS, THEY PLAYED A BIG PART IN HIS DEFEAT BY THE HATED GEORGE W. BUSH.
Mr. Kerry proceeded to slander and defame hundreds of thousands of young Americans who were serving at their country’s call in a distant place where none wanted to be, doing their best at achieving the impossible.
Old soldiers who served with him on the Mekong were astonished at his fanciful recital of comic-book war story, and gave their eloquent version three decades later when Mr. Kerry was the Democratic candidate for president. They said he was full of it, “it” being neither heroism nor witness to truth. He was a phony, Purple Hearts and Bronze and Silver stars or not.
He is diplomat enough to hide some of them until a convenient time arrives, and a convenient time arrived with President Obama’s betrayal of Israel at the United Nations, when at the president’s bidding the United States declined to veto a malignantly one-sided resolution condemning the Jewish state for its policy of using settlements on the West Bank as bargaining chips if the Palestinians should give up their dream of evicting Israel from the globe and seek a lasting peace.
Barack Obama entertains himself by fussing over his legacy, eager to be remembered as an American icon, perhaps to replace George Washington. John Kerry was eager to assist him with the betrayal of Israel. Both president and secretary of State were doing what comes naturally.
Mitchell obsessed about Trump (instead of actual points of contention in the Middle East) by fretting: “How difficult is it for you to operate in this atmosphere where the President-elect is communicating directly with Prime Minister Netanyahu?”
[CtH: Mitchell is plenty old enough to remember that PEOTUS Obama was sticking his not-president-yet nose into foreign affairs at this point in his career also. Leftists are such flipping hypocrites!]
“But also that is an impact because he had a direct impact. He called Egypt’s president. As a result of his call, of Prime minister Netanyahu’s call, Egypt pulled down the resolution. That is part of the reason you were then accused of orchestrating other sponsors of it,” Mitchell added when Kerry chose not to completely take her bait.
OK, it’s sycophant. I know that. It’s called a play on words. Poetic license. I can do that. My post. Get over it.
The media whores have been slobbering over the Magic Negro for more than eight tragically long years. He had no credentials other than his daddy was black. No experience, no ambition other than a chance to impose his twisted vision of a disgraced and degraded nation. They were foursquare behind him and never made a hint of a protest to anything he did.
I was no fan of Donald Trump at the outset, but it retrospect, he’s the only candidate who could have beaten the Clinton machine and the media attack dogs. He was the right man at the right time. He used social media to get around the chattering class and go directly to the people. The press will resume their adversarial role, but it won’t make much difference to someone who earned everything he has by himself and apologizes to no one.
This is how the slobbering media started covering Obama’s reign of terror and it never let up:

Colbert Gives Final Praise of ‘Passionate, Intelligent, and Dignified’ Obama at Kennedy Center Awards
The 39th Annual Kennedy Center Honors show on CBS is yet another awards show you probably don’t watch, but it actually honors people who do have talent. However, if we’re to believe lefty host Stephen Colbert, that talent apparently also includes our lame duck president. Barack Obama has proven to be “passionate, intelligent, and dignified” over the past eight years, Colbert proclaimed as the D.C. audience gave him a standing ovation. Give me a break.
Brian Stelter Glorifies Media, Paints Them as Victims of Trump in CNN’s Election Look Back Book “A keen observer of the public mood, he knew how to cast blame on an unpopular industry that was hardly in a position to fight back,” he proclaimed in the opening paragraph of his rant. “He was a one-person driver of ratings and readership and a serious menace to press freedom,” Stelter smeared.
Barack Obama Wishes Everyone A Happy New Year With A Picture Of . . . Barack Obama
The Worst of MSNBC in 2016
With the hopes of steering another election into the Democratic column, MSNBC leaned far forward in 2016 on behalf of Hillary Clinton and the hopes of an ascendant Democratic Party to carry on the legacy of President Obama (“the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House”).
Those hopes were dashed.
Here’s the worst of Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and the gang in another year of left-wing lunacy on cable’s most ridiculous news channel.
[CtH: This would be so awesome. Rememer how pissed Barry got when Boehner invited Bibi to speak to Congress?! ::snork::]
“There’s a plan for Trump to meet with Netanyahu,” the source said. “They’re talking all the time. And Netanyahu is talking about possibly going to the inauguration.”
Netanyahu congratulated Trump on his victory a day after the presidential election, and Trump had invited the Israeli leader to meet in the US at his “first opportunity.”

THESE ARE THE POSERS WHO REFUSE TO PERFORM AT TRUMP’S INAUGURATION. TOO BAD.
HuffPo Editor Slams Obama: He Presided Over The “Destruction Of The Democratic Party”
Trump reportedly asked Harry Hurt III, who wrote “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump” in 1993, to leave after Hurt offered Trump congratulations on his presidential victory.
The book sparked a feud between the two, as it included Ivana Trump’s accusations that Trump had raped her, an allegation Trump has repeatedly denied.
WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT TRUMP IS THAT HE DOESN’T TRY TO SHOW LIBERALS WHAT A NICE GUY HE IS; SHAKE HANDS, TAKE A FEW PICTURES. HE’S MORE LIKE: F*CK YOU … GET OFF MY GOLF COURSE.
Donald Trump Impromptu New Years Eve Press Conference 12/31/16
TRUMP DOESN’T CARE ABOUT FOCUS GROUPS OR POLL TESTING
Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out With his recent hissy fit over the supposed Russian interference in our November elections, the knifing in the back of Israel, our closest and most reliable ally in the Middle East, and an unprecedented land grab in the western United States – interestingly a region where Barack Obama has very little voter approval anymore – Barack Obama has shown that he intends not to bow out gracefully as an adult. And that doing what’s best for the country by promising for a smooth transition into the new administration apparently was nothing more than politically expedient lip service at best.

I resolve to continue to post the same inane kind of garbage that I’ve been doing for the last 6 years.
I resolve to start each day off with a smile…and get it over with.
I resolve to nag and whine GP into commenting here more often.
I resolve to try to spend more time with my grandchildren.
I resolve not to try to chuckle when one of my lib friends starts bitching about President Trump.
I resolve to try to be here for 2018.
I resolve to try to refrain from grabbing fatass people who squat on handicap carts at WalMart and beating them with my shoe and hollering: “Get off that, you fat pig!” for fear it may be taken the wrong way.
I resolve to post more funny memes, since it takes little effort and no creativity.
The chances of keeping most of these are relatively remote.
As the year comes to an end, we’ve put together a list of the 10 most memorable lines from the historic 2016 Presidential campaign.
2016 is a year we will never forget.
10. No one handles protesters like Donald Trump. Where other Republicans would be stunned or left speechless Donald Trump makes lemonade from lemons and has the crowd roaring in laughter.
At one rally this year a leftist protester started screaming during Trump’s speech. Trump stopped his speech and said this:
“Hillary, is that you?”
9. Donald Trump frequently spoke about Hillary Clinton’s lack of energy. In a Florida speech he commented about Hillary’s Health.
[Hillary] gives a 10 minute speech and then “Go[es] back home and go[es] to sleep”.
8. A tradition during the Presidential race is to have both candidates in New York at a Catholic dinner and fund raiser. During this year’s event, Donald Trump presented some of the most awkward jokes in the event’s history in grilling Hillary Clinton. Trump said,
“Hillary is so corrupt…”
and it went downhill from there. The crowd’s reaction was priceless. A sample of these follow:
7. During a Republican debate, Governor Jeb Bush was falling in the polls and Donald Trump let him have it, saying he was “real tough” and adding:
“You know you started off next to me Jeb and you’re moving further and further down the stage. Pretty soon you’re going to be off the stage, Jeb.”
It was soon over for Bush.
6. We threw this video of Hillary in for good measure. What an awful candidate. With only a few months before the election, Hillary Clinton posed a question in a video conference call with supporters, “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead, you might ask?” At this exact moment it became clear why she was not 50 points ahead and why she was going to lose – along with being a criminal, she was officially off the charts crazy.
5. At one of the final Republican debates Trump had enough of Senators Rubio and Cruz and said,
“First of all, this guy’s a choke artist and this guy’s a liar.”
4. During a Presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, Clinton bumbled about Republican Abraham Lincoln being two faced and Donald Trump took her to task,
“Now she’s blaming the lie on the late, great Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe, never lied. And that’s the big difference between Abraham Lincoln and you.”
. Another moment during one of the final Republican debates, Trump encouraged Senators Cruz and Rubio to,
“I know you’re embarrassed. I know you’re embarrassed. But keep fighting. Keep swining. Swing for the fences, boys!”
2. When Trump was pressed in a Republican debate about a former Mexican President saying that he would not pay for that fxxxing wall, Trump responded with,
“the wall just got 10 feet taller!”
1. During the second presidential debate in St Louis, Donald Trump gave the best comeback to Hillary Clinton in Presidential debate history, when she said it was awfully good that Mr. Trump was not in charge of the law in our country –
Everybody does their year-in-review thing, famous deaths, most successful, most annoying, etc. To be truthful, there hasn’t been a year like this in quite some time. The last 8 years have left us drained of any optimism for the future, just more suffering under the Obama reign of terror. A new door will open in a few short days. We will finally have a strong, competent leader who wants to return this country to its past glory rather than punish success and spread suffering among all but the violent and the lazy. We will have some time now to listen to the cries of frustration and lamentation of those who have been giving us short shrift for just about as long as I can remember.
Oh, and the Cubs are World Champions, lest we forget.
Obama’s full-blown, year-end temper tantrum Obama is having an extremely difficult time dealing with what may be his first-ever serious setback. This is a man described by his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, as “just too talented to do what ordinary people do.” More flattering, Jarrett noted that “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. …” He is so smart, said Jarrett, that “he’s been bored to death his whole life.”
