2018_06 17 Father's Day

JUST A THOUGHT: Despite my having loads of rude stuff in my social media about how much I disliked both the Obamas, I routinely got offers to wish them a happy birthday/anniversary/mother’s-father’s day. I clicked on a couple of them and found they required one pony up the $$ for the privilege of signing the “card.” President Trump’s birthday was last week on Flag Day and today is Father’s Day. Despite having loads of stuff in my social media showing me to be a Trump fan, I haven’t gotten a single thing offering me the opportunity to wish him a happy whatever (while donating to the GOP).

The IG Report: Key Takeaways

After an 18-month investigation into the FBI and DOJ’s Hillary Clinton probe, the highly anticipated report from the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz is out. Some of the key takeaways include:

1. A slew of anti-Trump text messages between special counsel Lisa Page and FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok damaged the integrity of the entire Clinton email probe, Horowitz writes.

What Did You Expect?

Those of you who fantasize about any corrupt Democrat ever paying any kind of price for their crimes need a reality check. They behave the way they do because they know that even if they’re caught, nothing will happen to them. Only Republicans get punished.


Bottom line: Democrats got the narrative they wanted, that the FBI was not motivated by politics in exonerating Hillary, and that Comey made serious errors of judgment in his October 2016 disclosure to Congress. Yet the details show strong anti-Trump bias pervaded the FBI people involved. Continue reading

Apple, Facebook, Google issue joint statement condemning NSA data mining

From The Duffel Blog.

SAN FRANCISCO — Silicon Valley technology giants Apple, Facebook and Google, in a rare joint statement, condemned the National Security Agency and other government organizations for mining internet users’ private data on Thursday.

The media titans called the agency “un-American” and vowed not to cooperate with federal agencies and authorities unless directed by a lawful court order or warrant.

“We are appalled that the federal government would spy on its own citizens, who have not been accused of any crime or infraction,” said Alexandra Forrest, a Google spokeswoman.

House Democrats Draft Legislation That Would Make It a Hate Crime to Eat at Chick-Fil-A

From The Babylon Bee.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Under intense pressure from their left-leaning constituents to do something about the dangerous, Christian-founded restaurant chain, Democrats in the House of Representatives unveiled legislation Tuesday that would make it a hate crime to eat at Chick-fil-A.

The CFAHATE Act Of 2018 would make it a hate crime punishable by federal law to dine at the restaurant or use its drive-thru, with extra punishments for people who post that they’re eating at the restaurant on their social media accounts. The legislation would also impose heftier penalties for anyone who patronizes the extremist hate group’s chicken sandwich establishments during Pride Month.

“We want people making fast-food dining choices to think carefully about a restaurant’s background,” House Minority Leader and bill co-sponsor Nancy Pelosi said in a video posted to her official YouTube account. “If a restaurant’s leadership is associated with Christian values in any way, frequenting their locations amounts to literal violence against minorities, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.” Continue reading

Pete did a superb job of covering the BIGGEST NEWS STORY OF THE DAY! I’ll just give my nod to it by noting that the New York Post honored the seriousness of the event with a no-jokes cover.

Proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation

The following is my very-much-shortened version of an essay circulating the internet that starts “I was a Catholic once.” I found what I think may be the original net posting: “How Do Catholics Hear The Gospel?” by Gary Michuta (from Hands-On Apologetics, March/Apirl 1997. Copyright Thy Faith, Inc. 1997).

Behold the Peacemaker

Click on the title to see all the goodies Pete collected for us in the Comments section.

President Trump signed a historic document early this morning as Kim Jong Un agreed to begin the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. I was delivering papers this morning and heard the entire press conference. This is a man who will not be intimidated, gives better than he gets, and is nobody’s fool.

Sanctions on NoKo will remain in place and American troops will not leave the DMZ unless or until Kim can verify that he’s actually doing what he agreed to. Trump even got in a dig about getting Americans released without paying $1.8 million in cash. The press must have loved that.

Eat Your Veggies!

If you’re one of those people who thinks that President Donald Trump subsists only on junk food, well, one look at his White House chef, Andre Rush, is going to dispel all your thoughts regarding that. Let’s just say … he works out. 🙂


As Joe Simonson pointed out at The Daily Caller, you could easily confuse Rush “for a refrigerator in the kitchen.”

WHEN HE SAYS, “EAT YOUR VEGGIES,” YOU DO IT!

Barack Obama’s chef was Sam Kass. He appeared on a lot of daytime talk shows and was on Food Network numerous times. He married MSLSD anchor Alex Wagner. The Obamas attended the wedding.

President Trump’s chef won’t be invited anywhere. He doesn’t seem to care.
