  1. I treat it just like an old Brittany Spears video. I put the volume on mute and just watch the show.
  2. Do you think James Comey and the FBI will go after her?
  3. Sorry, out of likes. The content of his speech doesn't matter. Many on the left view any black republican as a traitor to their race or to their liberal cause, no matter how sincere that person may be. Many, many others on the left just wait to form their personal opinions about someone based on what their political leaders tell them to believe. Of course this has happened so often that I'm sure most already know this.
  4. And sometimes socioeconomic factors combined with political affiliation..a la Hillary, Hillary's staff, Lois Lerner...
  5. Are you actually whining about being profiled while in the same breath profiling other people? Don't answer, it was rhetorical.
  6. What is your reason for voting? I know some people will vote for Trump because of his platform AND because they dislike Hillary's platform, and vice versa. Please select based on which one you think outweighs the other.
  7. Only if we get Newt Gingrich back to again curtail Bill's wild spending.
  8. Obama and the Democrats have us 20 trillion dollars in debt. We pay $262 billion annually in interest payments. And you are worried about Trump not paying back a couple of thousand dollars. Are you serious? Really. Are you serious? I'm actually appalled by this mentality.
  9. I don't know who you are referring to. I've expressed my views plenty of times on too much spending by every administration. No hypocrisy here. The point of my post was showing that Democrats are now trying to say that Trump is not financially responsible because of four bankruptcies (although he has amassed to 9 billion dollar empire), but think that it is okay to elect Hillary to continue the type of government that has us 20 trillion dollars in debt. That is the zenith of hypocrisy.
  10. I am not a Trump fan. In fact, I think he is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to presidential candidates. (Hillary is the scum that lives beneath the bottom of the barrel.) The Democrats have plenty to criticize him on. But to try and criticize him on past bankruptcies is just laughable. Ludicrous is probably a better word. Do you Liberals (and many of you Conservatives) realize that this country is 20 trillion dollars in debt? Do you not realize this? You Liberals want to paint Trump as not financially responsible when in fact it is your party that has driven us to a financial crisis. Obama is the first president in history to endure a financial downgrade. And all you Liberals want to say is that Trump had four bankruptcies in his 9 billion dollar empire. Can someone please come up with a stronger word than ludicrous to describe Democrats?
  11. In the same vein that the others have posted before, how in the hell can a sane person support Obama/Hillary and then in the same breath criticize Trump for bankruptcy. The United States of America is 20 trillion dollars in debt. Let's restate this. The United States government has put the American citizen in 20 trillions of dollars of debt. Did any of Trumps bankruptcies even minutely approach this amount? If you are going to blame Trump for his bankruptcies, you must not be hypocritical and place full blame on Obama for his 20 trillion dollar debt. Let's get down to brass tacks. How much money did Trump's bankruptcies cost people versus how much money did Obama's bankruptcies cost people? The sheeple do not want to answer that. And Hillary wants to extend the bankruptcy. What is the net value that Trump has produced versus the net value that Obama has produced. It's not a difficult concept. Even the staunchest Dems should be able to understand.
  12. I'm headed to Baton Rouge Friday morning. Hope this doesn't get too bad.
  13. Many were marked Classified, and some were marked with the highest Top Secret classification at the time received/sent. Does it not bother you that a person who is charged with marking documents as classified, and has completed a training course in document classification, doesn't possess the skill set to identify classified material when she sees it? That's like an assistant coach posting the team's playbook online. When question, he says he didn't know it was secret. Then says he is applying for the head coach position.
  14. I have every one of these songs...and I'm not even a big Country fan. Speaking of Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine, my favorite song by Tom T. Hall is "I Like Beer". Speaking of "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother", I saw Jerry Jeff Walker in Austin about 15-20 years ago. Two weeks later, I saw Ray Wylie Hubbard (the song writer) perform in the same club. 16 Tons was not written or even originated by Tennessee Ernie Ford. It was written and gained popularity in the mid 1940s by Merle Travis. Bo Diddley has a pretty good version of it also. Speaking of Wichita Lineman, did you know Glen Campbell got his start as a session musician with the Wrecking Crew. The Wrecking Crew were studio musicians in California that played with all the big names, particularly the Beach Boys. When Brian Wilson decided to quit touring (during the middle of a tour), Glen Campbell was hired as his replacement for the remainder of the tour. One more. A few years ago I saw a young black girl wearing a T-Shirt that said "Mama Tried" on the front. I was joking around and asked "Are you a Merle Haggard fan?" She obviously didn't know what I was referring to, and jokingly replied, "It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand." I said "Do you know that is a song from the 1960s by Merle Haggard?" She whole-heartedly disagreed. I don't know if she ever found out that she was wearing a ripped-off title. Damn, I better get back to work. Thanks for letting me daydream for a little while.
  15. I'm Going Ugly Early Tonight - Bill Whyte
  16. With one left to go. That's why he won. McCain and Romney could only garner votes from 50 states while Obama got votes from the extra 8 states. I wonder if those people had to show ID to vote.
  17. It's Hell To Get Old Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" The old man said, "I thought it was gas - but I was wrong, too!"
  18. Father Murphy walks into a bar on Bourbon Street, and asks the first man he meets, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' The man said, 'I do, Father.' The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.' Then the priest asked the second man, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' 'Certainly, Father,' the man replied. 'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to Thibodeaux and asked, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' Thibodeaux said, 'No, I don't Father.' The priest said, 'I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?' Thibodeaux said, 'Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a bunch together to go right now.'
  19. Boudreaux was driving down Canal street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of ma life and give up ma White Lightnin'!" Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Boudreaux looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."
  20. They served openly during the Korean War. Didn't you ever see Corporal Klinger on M.A.S.H.
  21. Where do you find these white guys that come in blazing, shooting innocent bystanders and looking for black people to shoot? I've been around white people with guns all of my life and can't recall ever seeing one that fits your description.
  22. Reason For Speeding A senior citizen drove his brand new red Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 100mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left... "Amazing," he thought as he flew down 1-10 towards Winnie , pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Texas DPS patrol car behind him, blue and red lights flashing. He pulled over to await the DPS officer's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the officer walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said: "Boy, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The gentleman paused. Then said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a DPS officer. I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, Sir," replied the Officer.
  23. Circle flies A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said "Well yeah, if that's what they are. I never heard of circle flies". So the farmer says "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse." The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses back end?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses back end." The trooper says "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says "Hard to fool them flies though."
