Is Anyone On The Fence About This?

Trump wants $5 billion for a border wall and a symbolic win. Pelosi and Schumer will give him a fence, or a partial government shutdown. Resist!

I love Schumer's soundbite: "The public expects us to be even smaller and less reasonable than Trump and we won't disappoint them."

I may have misheard that. Probably not.

Let me see... Military is funded. Farm bill about to pass. That means a hodgepodge of wasteful spending might get shut down by Pelosi/Schumer [lack of] brain trust? Plus Trump will build the wall anyway?

Of course Trump wants to get tossed in that briar patch.

Here's what might get shut:

Though Congress did pass significantly more spending bills before the 2018 year-end deadline than in previous years, lawmakers still have seven appropriations bills to tackle before the year ends:

Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies
Interior, Environment and Related Agencies
Financial Services and General Government
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies
Homeland Security
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies
State, Foreign Operations and Related Agencies

The current continuing resolution for the agencies covered under these remaining seven appropriations bills expires Dec. 7.

I'm curious... I've seen 2 or 3 rather oblique references to Congress passing regular spending bills which make me think that this is the first year after many years that they have passed ANY "regular" spending bills (i.e. not continuing resolutions.) Does anyone know if this is true? Is this another huge Trump achievement that the press is hiding from us?

I posted this on the end of the last thread. Dana Perino and Brett Baier are dumbfounded by the Oval Office argument. Dana even brings out a poll by NPR (!!) to show that more Americans oppose a shut down, but then 65% of the GOP supports it. Video at link.

Bret Baier and Dana Perino don't know how to react to the Oval Office kerfuffle. Tellingly, Perino brings up an NPR poll to show support for keeping the government open. (You may assume I am rolling my eyes.) Video is at link.

I was on vacation once when there was a government shutdown. I got into Yellowstone and a few other parks without paying as a result. Under Zippy, they locked the gates and did things like this:

Government shutdown=no funds, yet they brought in barriers and surrounded normally wide-open monuments, and put on guards to keep people out.

Oh, i do, Ext. i do hate it so. :D

Not gonna do it.

Wouldn't be prudent.

This year I am going to pay zero attention to the government shutdown song and dance on the edge of the cliff until some vote at 3am.

That I can do.

I am also going to TRY to pay zero attention to articles written, even by good guys like Conrad Black, about how Mueller's got nothing, or that Trump will be in jail in 3,2,1 days.

That will be harder, but I am tired of being played like a yoyo on all these passionate, intricate, convoluted little skits.

Run the government well, or wreck it. Preserve individual freedom and liberty or hand both to the State. Control entry into the country or invite the world in to feast and to vote. Blame or Credit whomever you want. In the end, the people will get what they deserve from the Government they deserve.

One of my FAVs of all time is VDH but he too is only able to react lately (or is it act, I lost track of who had the serve?). His unique and penetrating ability to tie our present with comparable scenes from history is of great interest to me, but of zero interest to Progs.

By now it is hard to imagine how many more bad things they can say about Trump and his band, and frankly our defenses are as repetitive as their attacks.

Like many here, I am struck by how many of my own "friends" are set so firmly and blindly on the other side, and how immune they are to argument or logic from our side, that I am ready for the game to be called and a winner declared.

[Account Deleted]

the "Resistance" and all of their deaf, dumb, and blind (politically) followers are occupying a dangerous set of ruins which will crumble in the end.

what i refuse to do is venture into their cover, their "safe space", in order to woo them in any way.

it's kind of like a marriage hurtling toward what is projected as a "nasty divorce" with one party unable to end it, while the other just plugs their ears, na-na-not listening style.

if the faithful party wants to interrupt the divorce with the person who obviously has self-image issues, the key will be to stop trying.

to continue trying might be "the right thing to do" according to the faithful one; but to the dissenter--- it only feeds their low self-image (which the Resistance is based on with their victim politics). It's a subconscious and stubborn reaction to the faithful one:"He says he loves me and wants to stay married to me. But how stupid is he to want to be with the likes of me?"

Stop trying to use reason and logic with the Resistance. They want a divorce. What they don't realize is that THEY need US. So walk like a duck. Realize that the truth will out. Even Hitler learned that. The world survived. Perhaps it even improved.

The folly of it all is that the Republic, due to its atrocious indebtedness is living on borrowed time. And if value-creating institutions and systems are on the bubble because of it, then just think: where the O'Cortex branch of the body politic is in this slow march to cataclysm?

More from our Amigo's south of the Border:

Due to changes by the DGAC (Dirección General de Aviación Civil), ad hoc flight permits into certain cities in Mexico now require that a copy of the pilot license accompany the permit request. Effective immediately, all pilots operating into Mexico must have with them a photocopy of their pilot license to be delivered, upon request, to the ramp agent upon arrival. Any pilot who does not have a copy of their pilot license on him or her upon landing, should be prepared to have their license taken and a copy made at the ramp.

However, police said they were investigating a possible terrorism motive for the shooting and that a special anti-terrorism prosecutor was assessing the situation.
