This post will likely meander from here to there, occasionally making sense, but most of the time not. In other words, the usual babble.

Anti-Trump Prince Alwaleed – a BIG Clinton DONOR – is Jailed in Corruption Sweep in Saudi Arabia

In December 2015 Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal slammed Donald Trump for proposing a ban on Muslim immigrants in the US until the government could alleviate security concerns.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a top Clinton Foundation donor.

Campus Watch reported:   Some are upset that the Clinton Foundation accepted donations from Middle Eastern countries with terrible records on women’s rights. In “Hillary Clinton Faces Test of Record as Women’s Advocate,” the New York Times writes:

Saudi Arabia has been a particularly generous benefactor to the Clinton Foundation, giving at least $10 million since 2001, according to foundation disclosures. At least $1 million more was donated by Friends of Saudi Arabia, co-founded by a Saudi Prince.

On Sunday Prince Alaweed was arrested in a corruption sweep.

Sen. Rand Paul Assaulted by Next-door Neighbor

“Paul told troopers that his neighbor came onto his property and tackled him from behind, forcing him to the ground and causing pain.”
THE SENATOR WAS ASSAULTED WHILE MOWING HIS LAWN. CAN YOU IMAGINE ANY DEMOCRAT ACTUALLY DOING YARD WORK? MOST OF THEM HAVE ILLEGALS DOING THEIR LANDSCAPING.

“Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault. The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police,” says Kelsey Cooper, State Communications Director for Office of U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY).

[CtH: I read on Facebook that Rand suffered serious rib fractures, not just cracked, but actually broken.]

Warren County Regional Jail has the spelling listed as Rene Albert Bousher.

Alabama Fan Puts Cigarette In Face Of Cop, Gets Dragged Out
One Alabama fan decided to try and press her luck Saturday night at Bryant-Denny stadium by enjoying a smoke break from her seat when a police officer asked her to put it out.

Sarcastically, she puts the cigarette up to the officer’s face, almost as if she was offering him a drag.

The officer was not amused, as he brought out the handcuffs immediately.

SHE WAS TAKEN DOWN HARD. LUCKILY SHE’S WHITE — OTHERWISE THE OFFICERS WOULD BE FORCED TO UNDERGO SENSITIVITY TRAINING.

Trump greets Japanese emperor with a handshake and nod – but no bow
U.S. President Donald Trump greeted Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko on Monday with a genteel handshake and nod, but no bow, avoiding the pitfall of U.S. President Barack Obama who was criticized at home for his deep bow to the monarch.
Hillary Clinton shook hands and air-kissed the empress on both cheeks, then took her hand as they entered the palace when she met the royal pair as secretary of state in 2011, a month or so after the triple disasters of an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown hit northeastern Japan in March of that year.

Democrats’ civil war isn’t bringing them closer to understanding why they lost
Much of the base wants to go “full Bernie,” and embrace free college and national health insurance. Yet this ignores the fact that Bernie Sanders did so well in the primaries mainly because Clinton was the same horrible candidate she’s always been.

This wing of the party thinks President Barack Obama was too centrist. Hmm: Is that why the party lost 14 governorships plus nine Senate and 60-plus House seats on his watch?

Shutdown threat growing over immigration fight
Democrats believe they have leverage to demand an immigration deal going into the end-of-year negotiations because GOP leadership will likely need their votes to keep the government open.

They are signaling, despite the decision from the president, that they will keep DACA in the December talks until Republicans show they can pass a spending bill on their own.
“Unless Republicans can keep the government open without Democratic votes, this is not their decision to make. I have yet to see any evidence that they will be able to do that,” said Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.

Anthony Weiner to begin prison sentence for sexting conviction
MEANWHILE BOWE BERGDAHL IS HAVING A BEER AT THE BOWLING ALLEY.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., will begin his 21 month prison sentence on Monday after being found guilty of sexting a 15-year-old girl.  Weiner, 53, was sentenced in September after court papers showed that he repeatedly encouraged an underage girl to undress and fondle herself over Skype, The Daily News reported.

Democrats Drive Toward the Cliff and Hit the Gas

We’ve long called the GOP “The Stupid Party,” and it certainly deserves the nickname, but what’s the right family-friendly adjective for the Democrat Party? “The Moronic Party?” “The Mind-Bogglingly Nuts Party?” What moniker best reflects a party you dare not trust with power? These people are to governing as Kevin Spacey is to babysitting.

I Didn’t Plan to Do This

Since it’s the 800 pound gorilla in the room I guess I have to do this, although there’s plenty of other things to talk about.
Sutherland Springs, Texas: small, rural town where people regularly gather to worship God and fellowship together. A slimy, belly-crawling reptile named Devin Patrick Kelley decided to shoot up the church his ex-wife’s family attended. He was in the military from 2010-2014 before he was court martialed for two violations of the UCMJ for domestic battery on his wife and child.

He killed 26 people and wounded 20, including the pastor’s 14 year old daughter. WHO IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN KILLS KIDS??

‘Hero’ neighbor got his rifle, shot at Texas church gunman
Johnnie Langendorf was credited with chasing this puke down

“I pulled up to the intersection where the shooting happened and I saw two men exchanging gunfire, the other being a citizen of the community,” he said. “The shooter of the church had taken off, fled in his vehicle, and the other gentleman came and he said, ‘We need to pursue him,’ that he just shot up the church. So that’s what I did. I just acted.”
Langendorff said he hadn’t seen the concerned neighbor before, but knew he was from the area.
http://nypost.com/2017/11/05/hero-neighbor-got-his-rifle-shot-at-texas-church-gunman/

Stephen Willeford managed to shoot Devin Kelley before jumping in another man’s truck and chasing him down, the Daily Mail reported.
An area resident told the paper that Willeford, an avid biker who attends another church, learned about the shooting when his daughter called to say a man clad in body armor was shooting worshipers.
The local said that although Willeford has no military background, he didn’t hesitate when he came face to face with the suspect — and managed to squeeze off a round that struck the gunman, who had dropped his Ruger AR-15 variant.

“Nobody is trying to take away your guns,” she added. “If you want to go shoot, you know, whatever, in the woods, that’s fine, but it’s a hobby. If your hobby is [affecting] innocent people being killed all the time, children included, don’t you think you should reconsider the lack of restrictions placed on your hobby?”

Obama Uses Texas Church Massacre To Call For Fewer Guns

“We grieve with all the families in Sutherland Springs harmed by this act of hatred, and we’ll stand with the survivors as they recover,” Obama wrote on Twitter. “May God also grant all of us the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can take to reduce the violence and weaponry in our midst.”
Obama, who has taken an unusually active role during his successor’s administration, offered no specific details on what those steps to reduce the guns “in our midst” would look like.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST HIS COMMENTS WITH THE PRESIDENT
Trump Says Church Shooting Is Mental Health Problem, Not Gun Problem
Trump confronted news of the worst church shooting in American history Monday in a televised address from Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in which he called the shooting an “act of evil,” offered his administration’s full support to the people of Texas, and called the shooting a mental health issue, according to the Associated Press. While Democratic senators almost immediately began calling for gun control in the wake of the attack, Trump claimed that the real issue the derangement of the shooter, not guns.

The mind is numb, the soul aches, we’re not perfect but we try to make sense of the senseless.

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.”

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.]

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:
