Senator Chuck Schumer was equally enthusiastic about his own recipe, a wide-ranging cooking project that centers on a meatloaf of beef, veal and pork surrounded by pieces of barbecued chicken.

Serious question: How many of the nimrods who support the Fraud Squaw think that she was reading from a letter that she just got from Coretta Scott King, who of course died in 2006? The reason I ask is that the Restraining Order sent out a weirdly worded email implying that the asthmatic idiot was reading from a letter opposing Sessions as if it was something addressing his current gig. Imagining how dumb you'd have to be to vote for either of those forked tongued pale faces, a number of 50% wouldn't surprise me.
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin show, Jeff Sessions was confirmed as Attorney General, by a 52-47 vote. Sen Elizabeth Warren was accusing Jeff Sessions of discouraging black voters from voting which is false. Other than abusing the King name to advance a lousy political agenda, what has Warren done for her state or country? The answer is nothing. What has Sens Chuck Schumer, Corey Booker and the Democrat Party done for the black community? The irony is that Sessions has done more than all of them put together. Sessions was involved in prosecuting the head of the KKK in Alabama, got the death penalty for him and desegregated schools in his state. The Democrats don’t speak for all the blacks in this country or minorities, they speak for themselves. Also, the 7 nations that are part of the temporary ban are there for a reason. Either they have governments hostile to us or no government at all. The leftist lawyers and judges can throw around these phrases about the Constitution all the time. However, the Constitution does not apply outside the borders of this country. After that, some Republicans want to put a tax on carbon dioxide and air. Everyone who has completed a 5th grade education knows carbon dioxide is necessary. We would die without greenhouse gases. Rather than getting a bill on slashing taxes, they are working on this. The Republicans and business leaders calling themselves the Climate Leadership Council are responsible. This carbon tax effort, promoted by Hank Paulson and James Baker, aims at pushing President Donald Trump to put a tax on carbon in exchange for abolishing a slew of environmental regulations. A carbon tax has nothing to do with conservatism.

Bill Kristol: 'Lazy' White Working Class Should Be Replaced | The Daily Caller
Weekly Standard editor-at-large Bill Kristol said Tuesday afternoon that the white working class should be replaced by immigrants as they have become “decadent, lazy” and “spoiled.”
“Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don’t you want to get new Americans in?” Kristol told author Charles Murray during an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute titled “It Came Apart: What’s Next for a Fractured Culture.” Murray recently wrote a book, entitled “Coming Apart,” which focuses on the cultural separation between the wealthiest and most educated white Americans and the poorest and least educated white Americans.
What the FUDGE have you done today to defend the Republic?
What the FUDGE have you done today to show 45 that you've got his back?
I never served in the military, it's true. (Unlike you, whose service I appreciate, with thanks.)
So, let's see...
I get up in the morning and go to work. Well, I work at home. But I hold down a job.
I support my family. Mrs. PD has been enabled to be a full-time stay-at-home Mom and homemaker because early on I was determined she would be free to have this choice.
I attend church on Sunday, prayer meeting on Wednesday. I engage in charitable giving.
I have been a father to my children. I didn't abandon them.
I stayed married to my beloved, Mrs. PD. 34 years last December.
I pay my bills on time.
I pay my taxes.
I vote.
I voted for Trump.
I don't throw rocks at police. Or riot. Or start fires in the street. Or beat up people who support candidates I voted against. Or live in my Mom's basement while protesting against fascism.
So, in answer to your question, I don't do anything dramatic to defend the republic. But I wouldn't say I do nothing.
What the FUDGE have you done today to express support outside of your own safe cocoon that you stand up for this administration, and you detest--and reject--in the STRONGEST TERMS any attack on any woman, not the least of which is the daughter of the President of The United States?
Any attack on any woman? Do you object to the remarks here on JOM about Elizabeth Warren. Or Hillary? Some of which are pretty cutting?
PD, God bless, I assure you, my own "cutting remarks" on Rodham or Warren, have ZERO to do with their genitalia. Both are RANCID LYING HACKS. To NOT call them out, would be unfair to most NORMAL WOMEN.
ALso it WAS a cave. They tried to say it was based on business, but unfortunnately for them an email from management to the stores criticizing Trump's policies got leaked, so "business decision" as an excuse doesn't fly.
Okay, this I didn't know. So I wouldn't try to defend Nordstroms as possibly making a business decision.
Very unfortunate - but not surprising - comments from Kristol. If he knew any members of the white working class, then he wouldn't make such an asinine assertion.
maryrose, it looks like Josh Mandel has been tapped to run against him again. I think he's a good guy but am not sure he has what it takes to beat a clod like Brown. A lot can change before next November and if the country is doing Great Again and Brown is just viewed as an obstructionist hoarse voiced goof, Josh will be in good shape.
I said a few weeks ago, I hope this site doesn't become a place where even the mildest criticism of Trump is attacked, worse if it's a personal attack. Now I see long-time posters, loyal Trump supporters, called "snowflakes" for expressing the mildest criticism of one little thing Trump did. Suppose I called that kind of response akin to the leftists on campus who shout down anyone who doesn't toe the leftist line? I won't, but it's tempting.
That Puff Host piece is disgusting. Among other tidbits: "Breitbart, a news site known for promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic views." Seriously? So full of innuendo and guilt by the most tenuous association, just about anyone in America could be called white supremacist and anti-Semitic.
Trump is flawed as we all are. I could never be the President he has been. I cannot yet believe that we have a chance for him to remove some of the carp that was thrust upon the country.
jimmyk - I agree with your 12:07 and hope, in additon, our side will not descend into the disheartening fault finding that happened with GWB.
Yes, it was Che but sounded like the black clad fascists descending on our cities to destroy our freedoms.
nite-ee-oh

Its not an accident the panthers fed on fanon, guevara, marighela by the time they became the black liberation army, what happened to the black power organization btw
>>>Who is trying define this as an 'exchange', and why do they think they have the leverage for this hypothesized trade-off?
Posted by: Beasts of England | February 08, 2017 at 11:08 PM<<<
since the carbon exchange idea has been a disaster they can vacuum up more money directly with an air tax. of, by, and for Wall Street (and with Baker in there the House of Saud isn't far behind).
Maybe the cock suckers at Puffington Host could give examples of BREITBART "promoting" White supremacy and/or anti-semetic views.
They cannot. Our society if rife with anti-semitism and black supremacy nonsense.....ALL COMING FROM THE LEFT.
Have we learned NOTHING. These bastards LIE FOR A LIVING, they HATE full time. We need to kick these monsters in the balls each and every time they attack.
I pray to God that President Trump will not fall for Hank Paulsen's carbon tax scheme. If he does, it will gain him great disfavor among his supporters.
This Carbon Tax proposal reminds me of Australia's Carbon Tax. IIRC, the Aussie Left, via Labor Party Prime Minister Julia Gillard, promised not to institute a Carbon Tax, then did so after taking power. That provoked national outrage and was what Tony Abbott successfully ran on repealing: Australia Becomes First Developed Nation to Repeal Carbon Tax
"Today the tax that you voted to get rid of is finally gone, a useless destructive tax which damaged jobs, which hurt families' cost of living and which didn't actually help the environment is finally gone," a jubilant Mr. Abbott told voters in a news conference after the Senate's decision...
...He said the carbon price was acting as a A$9 billion a year handbrake on the economy...
...The carbon tax has affected industries ranging from mining and energy to aviation, and was widely opposed by manufacturers and a majority of business...
If even the Politically Correct Aussies are smart and brave enough to dump this stupid Tax why in the world we would even be considering it beats the heck out of me.
Palin would be respected in the oil rich Canadian west perhaps. Stephen Harper's stomping ground.
Funny coincidence, just earlier today I was wondering if President Trump .would award Palin with a special plum, for her loyal support, and tireless work for the cause.
Around the time of the financial crisis, when Paulsen came up with the government lending plan to save the money markets, there was an article about him is some magazine, can't remember which, which focused on his love of snakes. They are a hobby of his.

I support my family. Mrs. PD has been enabled to be a full-time stay-at-home Mom and homemaker because early on I was determined she would be free to have this choice.
I attend church on Sunday, prayer meeting on Wednesday. I engage in charitable giving.
I have been a father to my children. I didn't abandon them.
I stayed married to my beloved, Mrs. PD. 34 years last December.
I pay my bills on time.
I pay my taxes.
I vote.
I voted for Trump.
I don't throw rocks at police. Or riot. Or start fires in the street. Or beat up people who support candidates I voted against. Or live in my Mom's basement while protesting against fascism.
So, in answer to your question, I don't do anything dramatic to defend the republic. But I wouldn't say I do nothing.
What the FUDGE have you done today to express support outside of your own safe cocoon that you stand up for this administration, and you detest--and reject--in the STRONGEST TERMS any attack on any woman, not the least of which is the daughter of the President of The United States?
Any attack on any woman? Do you object to the remarks here on JOM about Elizabeth Warren. Or Hillary? Some of which are pretty cutting?

Bill Kristol should be replaced too. He's never worked a day in his life. He's a clown.
Posted by: GUS | February 08, 2017 at 11:24 PM
PD, God bless, I assure you, my own "cutting remarks" on Rodham or Warren, have ZERO to do with their genitalia. Both are RANCID LYING HACKS. To NOT call them out, would be unfair to most NORMAL WOMEN.
Posted by: GUS | February 08, 2017 at 11:29 PM
ALso it WAS a cave. They tried to say it was based on business, but unfortunnately for them an email from management to the stores criticizing Trump's policies got leaked, so "business decision" as an excuse doesn't fly.
Okay, this I didn't know. So I wouldn't try to defend Nordstroms as possibly making a business decision.
Posted by: PD | February 08, 2017 at 11:31 PM
Very unfortunate - but not surprising - comments from Kristol. If he knew any members of the white working class, then he wouldn't make such an asinine assertion.

maryrose, it looks like Josh Mandel has been tapped to run against him again. I think he's a good guy but am not sure he has what it takes to beat a clod like Brown. A lot can change before next November and if the country is doing Great Again and Brown is just viewed as an obstructionist hoarse voiced goof, Josh will be in good shape.

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't parents say to their children, " we insist on seeing what you are reading in school"? No need to be sneaky.

I don't have a problem with Trump defending Ivanka but neither do I have a problem if someone of good will questions his intervention.

And if you say that and your child says, "teacher said this is between him/her and the students," you'd *know* something needs investigating.

I said a few weeks ago, I hope this site doesn't become a place where even the mildest criticism of Trump is attacked, worse if it's a personal attack. Now I see long-time posters, loyal Trump supporters, called "snowflakes" for expressing the mildest criticism of one little thing Trump did. Suppose I called that kind of response akin to the leftists on campus who shout down anyone who doesn't toe the leftist line? I won't, but it's tempting.

That Puff Host piece is disgusting. Among other tidbits: "Breitbart, a news site known for promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic views." Seriously? So full of innuendo and guilt by the most tenuous association, just about anyone in America could be called white supremacist and anti-Semitic.

Trump is flawed as we all are. I could never be the President he has been. I cannot yet believe that we have a chance for him to remove some of the carp that was thrust upon the country.
jimmyk - I agree with your 12:07 and hope, in additon, our side will not descend into the disheartening fault finding that happened with GWB.
Yes, it was Che but sounded like the black clad fascists descending on our cities to destroy our freedoms.

since the carbon exchange idea has been a disaster they can vacuum up more money directly with an air tax. of, by, and for Wall Street (and with Baker in there the House of Saud isn't far behind).

I fear that Canadians would mock Palin relentlessly, and that is not good enough for her.
Posted by: cheerleader | February 09, 2017 at 03:17 AM
This Carbon Tax proposal reminds me of Australia's Carbon Tax. IIRC, the Aussie Left, via Labor Party Prime Minister Julia Gillard, promised not to institute a Carbon Tax, then did so after taking power. That provoked national outrage and was what Tony Abbott successfully ran on repealing: Australia Becomes First Developed Nation to Repeal Carbon Tax
"Today the tax that you voted to get rid of is finally gone, a useless destructive tax which damaged jobs, which hurt families' cost of living and which didn't actually help the environment is finally gone," a jubilant Mr. Abbott told voters in a news conference after the Senate's decision...
...He said the carbon price was acting as a A$9 billion a year handbrake on the economy...
...The carbon tax has affected industries ranging from mining and energy to aviation, and was widely opposed by manufacturers and a majority of business...
If even the Politically Correct Aussies are smart and brave enough to dump this stupid Tax why in the world we would even be considering it beats the heck out of me.
Posted by: daddy | February 09, 2017 at 03:21 AM
Palin would be respected in the oil rich Canadian west perhaps. Stephen Harper's stomping ground.
Funny coincidence, just earlier today I was wondering if President Trump .would award Palin with a special plum, for her loyal support, and tireless work for the cause.

Around the time of the financial crisis, when Paulsen came up with the government lending plan to save the money markets, there was an article about him is some magazine, can't remember which, which focused on his love of snakes. They are a hobby of his.
