Pray Hard

It’s horrifying that 26 were killed and about 20 more wounded in a mass shooting at a Texas Baptist church. What makes it seem even worse to me is that this town is TINY, about 400 residents. Back in 1996, we suffered the brutal butchering of two teen girls by a neighbor who had a wife and small son. The girls went to our church; my girls were in youth group with them. Our whole community was devastated and the fallout for that group of teens was felt years later as some continued to suffer and succumb to alcoholism and suicide. Our village has about 3,500 souls. I truly cannot imagine the impact this far bigger trauma will have on this far smaller community. My heart is breaking for them.

How the Mighty Have Fallen

They were the most feared power couple since Antony and Cleopatra. They ran roughshod over the democrat party and made a mockery of the rule of law. Bill Clinton was the most accomplished liar of his time and his partner spent her time committing fraud and outright theft, and made sure none of her husband’s sexual assault victims dared to breathe a word of what he did to them. From the day he left office in January of 2001 it was assumed Hillary would be given the reins of power after George W. Bush.

Then the dupes in the enslaved press fell madly, blindly, passionately in love with a Chicago street hustler who attained absolutely everything he had on the basis of his race.
Frustrated because as a community organizer he knew how to stack caucuses in the early primaries, he eventually pushed her out. She’d previously been given a seat in the Senate from New York, where they slithered off to after leaving the White House (and stealing a lot of historic artifacts the Secret Service had to retrieve) because democrats outnumber republicans 3 to 1 there and she was a shoo-in after shoving out Nita Lowey, who was ordered to step aside to give Hillary the gig.

Apparently Obama made a deal to appoint her Secretary of State to get her out of town and allow her to pick up hundreds of millions from countries who expected payback after she assumed the throne that was rightfully hers. The whole world knew the Clintons operated a cash machine. Want anything? It’ll cost you. Like Charlie Trie once said: There was a turnstile at the front of the white House. You had to pay to get inside.

FAST FORWARD TO 2017: The mask is off. The democrat party no longer fears her. She has no power, wields no influence. The Clinton money laundering machine has ground to a halt because they have nothing to offer but bitterness and excuses about how it’s everybody else’s fault she was denied her destiny.

DNC chair almost replaced Hillary Clinton with Joe Biden as candidate after her collapse at 9/11 memorial
HILLARY WOULD HAVE EATEN BRAZILE’S LIVER IF SHE’D TRIED TO DO THAT… LET’S BE REAL

Brazile, in her tell-all memoir of the contentious 2016 presidential race, reveals she pondered yanking Clinton off the ballot after she collapsed while leaving a Ground Zero memorial service.

By then, the Clinton campaign was permeated by the “odor of failure” and Brazile thought the sitting vice president might energize the troops, according to The Washington Post.

“Again and again I thought about Joe Biden,” Brazile writes in the book. “(But) no matter my doubts and my fears about the election and Hillary as a candidate, I could not make good on my threat to replace her.”

Donna Brazile Unleashed! Clinton Campaign Treated Me Like “Slave” – Blasts Egomaniacs Obama & Wasserman Schultz
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF: SHE’S TRYING TO SELL A BOOK

As one of her party’s most prominent black strategists, Brazile also recounts fiery disagreements with Clinton’s staffers — including a conference call in which she told three senior campaign officials, Charlie Baker, Marlon Marshall and Dennis Cheng, that she was being treated like a slave.

“I’m not Patsey the slave,” Brazile recalls telling them, a reference to the character played by Lupita Nyong’o in the film, “12 Years a Slave.” “Y’all keep whipping me and whipping me and you never give me any money or any way to do my damn job. I am not going to be your whipping girl!”

DNC Chairman Promises To Reform Party’s Presidential Nominating Process
Perez’s column on Medium, entitled “Making 2020 Transparent,” was a response to revelations by former interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile last week that in a signed agreement the committee had effectively surrendered its independence to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in August 2015 ― months before 2016 presidential primary voters went to the polls. Many supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) interpreted the news as confirmation that the party had treated him unfairly.

[CtH: The corruption of the DNC’s process was obvious in 2008, when Hillary actually won the nomination on votes, but they gave it to Obama anyway.]

WELL, AT LEAST THE LEFT DOESN’T HATE THE BUSHES ANY MORE

Trump Is a ‘Blowhard,’ ‘I Don’t Like Him’ and I Voted for Hillary, George Bush Says in New Book
THIS MESSAGE IS AIMED AT THE 12 DEMOCRATS WHO CAN ACTUALLY READ.

Both former President Bushes had choice words for current President Donald Trump in a new book scheduled to be published later this month, with the elder Bush reportedly calling the billionaire commander-in-chief a “blowhard” and flatly stating he does not “like” him.

Furthermore, both ex-presidents admitted they did not vote for Trump. The elder Bush pulled the lever for Democrat Hillary Clinton while the younger told Updegrove he voted for “none of the above.”

The Trump Economy

DEM response to GOP

Unless the Rapture comes soon, we’re all going to die. At least in TRUMP’S economy, we’ll have JOBS while we wait, so we can pay for our OWN food and housing and healthcare.

Newt Gingrich: “The left-wing media and the elites never seem to tire of being wrong.”

New York Post editorial board: The House Republicans tax-cut plan “meets the nation’s needs” and “offers the relief for business and the middle class needed to get the economy roaring.”

The unemployment rate is at 4.1%, the lowest level since December 2000 and below the 4.2% that economists predicted.

US services sector saw record growth in October and the data point to continued strength in the months ahead.

FALSE: Democrats claim the GOP tax plan cause “families making less than $86,100 on average will face a hefty tax hike.” The TRUTH is the exact opposite.

Babylon Bee Speaks Out on Pro-Life Hypocrisy

ABORTION Killing Puppies

Hypocrisy is everywhere.

Take, for example, those who oppose the wholesale killing of puppies. The anti-puppy-killing crowd is loud and obnoxious, self-righteously declaring themselves to be “pro-life.”

Yet their love for the puppies only goes so far.

See, they want to defend puppies from being killed when they’re very young, but do you see them offering to adopt every dog on the entire planet?

I didn’t think so. These pro-puppy activists are only in support of dogs when people are killing them, but once they grow up, they’re all on their own. What are we supposed to do with all these dogs if not heinously kill them? I don’t see you pro-puppy people offering to take on more than one or two of them!

I’ll state it very clearly: you are not allowed to call yourself “pro-puppy” unless you agree to adopt every dog on the planet.

It’s just that simple.

A Call to Action from the Garden

This article caught my eye because my grandson Tyler is also nine years old and has been battling cancer for the past two years. His Chemotherapy protocol is scheduled to end next month and if there are no signs of activity he may be able to stop. This young boy isn’t as lucky. Imagine knowing you won’t see Christmas this year. The heartbreak for his family must be unbearable.
HERE’S THE DEAL:
Cancer patient, 9, asks for holiday cards for his last Christmas

Christmas is coming just a little bit early this year for Jacob Thompson.

The 9-year-old has a passion for penguins, Legos and “Star Wars,” but he especially loves the holiday season, his stepmother, Tara Artinyan told WXYZ.

Jacob was diagnosed with Stage 4 high-risk nueroblastoma when he was 5 years old. He was admitted to Portland’s Barabara Bush Children’s Hospital for the “last time” on Oct. 11, when doctors told the family he likely wouldn’t make it to Christmas.

According to the American Cancer Society, only half of the children diagnosed with the disease survive past 5 years of age.

“Jacob loves the holiday season,” his mother, Michelle Thompson Simard told Good Housekeeping. “And we want him to know that Christmas wishes come true and that there are good people who care all around the world.”

The 9-year-old’s wish? That everyone send him Christmas cards so that he can celebrate his favorite holiday early.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cancer-patient-9-asks-holiday-cards-christmas-article-1.3611054?cid=bitly

OK, FOLKS…. WE ALL HAVE CHRISTMAS CARDS AROUND AND WE HAVE A STAMP. I PROMISE YOU’LL FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF IF YOU TOOK 2 MINUTES TO SEND THIS YOUNG MAN A CARD. I’M SURE ONCE THE WORD GETS AROUND HE’LL GET A LOT, BUT I’M ASKING YOU AS A FAVOR TO REPRESENT OUR LITTLE GARDEN TO SHOW JACOB HE IS LOVED.

If you’re interested in sending in cards, address them to:

Fusion GPS’ Dirty Tricks

2017_11 Fusion GPS smear

  • In 2016, when Hillary was battling Trump, Fusion GPS produced the famous “Russian Dossier” of lies to smear Trump.
  • In 2015, when Planned Parenthood was reeling from the release of the damning undercover “baby parts” videos, Fusion GPS was hired to falsely damn the videos as deceptively edited. They weren’t anything of the kind as anyone who cared to could see for themselves, since the full, unedited videos were all posted on-line.*

In both cases, the MSM cooperated in slinging Fusion GPS’s mud.

Smearing someone with lies is illegal. Back in Watergate days, Nixon’s “Dirty Tricks” operatives went to jail for it. Here’s hoping at least some of the people at Fusion GPS find themselves in orange jumpsuits sooner rather than later.

*Fusion GPS has no known qualifications in the field of forensic video analysis. The same videos were analyzed by Coalfire Systems, Inc., experts in the field of information technology auditing. Their findings were diametrically opposite from the Fusion GPS pulp fiction manufactured to discredit the videos.

Gird Your Loins

Today is a day we face with some trepidation. The mighty forces of the Antifa liberators are planning to appear in a number of cities across America in a show of force. They will don their hankies so their moms won’t know what they’re doing when they sneak out of the basement with their bottles of urine and Army surplus gas masks. One certainty is the press will pay far more attention to these pussies than they have the primary rigging, Uranium One, and the Menendez corruption trial.

On November 4th The Antifa Insurgency Against Donald Trump And His Supporters Will Begin

I have seen various lists of cities were Antifa protests are planned floating around the Internet, but I felt that it was important to go right to the source. According to refusefascism.org, this is the official list of cities where activists will be gathering on November 4th…

Austin
Atlanta
Boston
Chicago
Cincinnati
Cleveland
Honolulu
Indianapolis
Los Angeles
Minneapolis
New York City
Omak
Philadelphia
Pittsfield
Portland
Salem
San Francisco
Seattle
Tucson
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/on-november-4th-the-antifa-insurgency-against-donald-trump-and-his-supporters-will-begin
NOTICE THEY ARE STAYING CLEAR OF PLACES LIKE ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI, KENTUCKY, AND TEXAS. (AUSTIN DOESN’T COUNT AS TEXAS.)

Anti-fascist group plans downtown rally, says claims of planned violence ‘a hoax’
A new anti-fascist group plans a rally Saturday in downtown Portland – part of series scheduled in cities across the country – but the demonstrations have whipped up a heap of warnings by right-wing groups on social media that the gatherings will signal a “civil war.”
Robert Brown, lead organizer for the Portland event, dismissed the claims of planned violence as “nonsense” and a “hoax” intended to scare people from participating in the march

Safe Streets Project Vows to Disrupt Antifa, Black Bloc Domestic Terror Riots on Nov. 4
An organization called Refuse Fascism has more far-left protests planned all over the country to commemorate the election of Donald Trump and the electoral upset on November 4. The idea is to take to the streets until Trump and Pence resign. Seriously. This footage of Refuse Fascism activists hyping the coming chaos was taken on Halloween night on the streets of Chicago.

Refuse Fascism claims their protests will be nonviolent. But domestic terror groups Antifa and Black Bloc may have other plans.
“Our core team consists of senior military, threat intelligence, business leaders, technical, S.W.A.T., and private military contractor professionals determined to use their deep convictions and connections to put an end to violent Antifa riots and associated crimes against decent men and women who believe in free speech in the United States,” he said.

If We Could Turn Back Time

Great. Now I have to dig out the owners’ manual so I can figure out how to change the damn clock in my car.

51 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.GETTING EXCITED YET???
This year’s hottest holiday toy is already flying off shelves
Fingerlings, plastic monkeys that hang on fingers, blink and respond to touch and sound, have quickly become one of the most sought-after toys of the year, selling out at major retailers across the country.
Walmart is already feeling the pressure from this hot toy, calling inventory “tight,” according to Bloomberg.
“We are selling it as we get it,” Steve Bratspies, chief merchandising officer for the company, said on a call with reporters, according to Bloomberg. “There’s not tons of excess, but we feel good about where we are.”
