    G’mornin’, all!

    Shooting is becoming a popular high school sport?!

    If I remember correctly, shooting used to be taught in high schools. What goes around, comes around I suppose. I’m sure some libs heads will be spinning – trusting CHILDREN with GUNS???

    I love this.

    Is it just me, or are we missing the searing heat that I’m used to feeling in July? Is that global warming machine turned on?

    Poll question for the couch:
    How many have been directly caused a loss by an illegal.
    I was the victim of a hit and run by an illegal.

    Hubby and I were rear ended by two illegals borrowing their brother’s car. They had no insurance. Cop let ’em go. They never showed up in court, of course.

    Does vote stealing count? I saw an illegal (I knew she was illegal because I’d actually talked to her before voting day) voting, and when I asked if she’d gotten her citizenship, she looked flustered. The Democrat at the polling table got up and whispered in her ear. Suddenly, she looked less confused, said that yes, indeed she had. Then the Democrat led her to a voting booth and helped her vote.

    That was before I knew about challenging votes.

    “Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun right in the doorway. I put 9 shells beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

    “While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.

    “After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn’t moved itself. It certainly hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do so. In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself.

    “Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.

    “I must be in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

    “The United States is third in Murders throughout the World. But if you take out just four cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC and New Orleans, the United States is fourth from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders! These four Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U. S. All four of these cities are controlled by Democrats. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data – right?

    Subversively fighting back.

    Love Gov depicts an overbearing boyfriend — Scott “Gov” Govinsky — who foists his good intentions on a hapless, idealistic college student, Alexis. Each episode follows Alexis’s relationship with Gov as his intrusions wreak (comic) havoc on her life, professionally, financially, and socially. Alexis’s loyal friend Libby tries to help her see Gov for what he really is — a menace. But will Alexis come to her senses in time? Tune in to find out!

    “We believe that Love Gov is a funny and compelling way to help anyone, especially young people, understand the federal government’s expanding reach into our lives. It’s a lighthearted approach to reach audiences on a personal level and inspire them to learn more and take action.

    If you have a high school or college student in your life we urge you to check out Love Gov and the MyGovCost mobile app, they could be great tools to teach anyone – but especially young people – how America’s relationship with Big Government has turned into a very bad date.”

    It’s actually halfway decent today, started out at 74 and 82% humidity at 6 and a westerly breeze that began around daylight. Currently 86 and mostly high clouds.
    Gotta tip toe in the comments lest the weather gods wake up and decide to warm things more.

    My indoor/outdoor weather station says it’s 90 degrees and 41% humidity now. I’ve been working in the front yard for 2 hrs and found it not oppressive. Of course I am sweating like a whole mule team but there is a nice breeze which causes that to be a source of cooling. I still have about 20 mins left to finish up, but came inside for a water break. Guzzle guzzle guzzle.

    Real estate mogul Donald Trump recently reflected on former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s loss, telling Newsmax that the candidate failed to resonate among certain demographics in part because of his “maniacal” immigration policy.

    “He had a crazy policy of self-deportation, which was maniacal,” Trump said. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote … He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”

    Romney first unveiled the “self-deportation” idea in a debate in January, explaining that he supported strict standards on employment that he claimed would force undocumented immigrants to return to their home countries.

    Trump accused Democrats of not having anything meaningful to offer in the field of immigration policy, but said that the party benefited from at least appearing to have the interests of immigrants in mind.

    “The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants,” Trump told Newsmax. “But what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it.”

    Republicans have been quick to admit failures in outreach in the wake of an election that showed Latino support for President Barack Obama above 70 percent. Just days after Romney’s loss, top party officials were publicly rethinking their tune on immigration reform, suggesting that a comprehensive plan would be a priority.

    But Trump was actually ahead of the curve in this field of thought. Over the summer, he explained his reservations about a hardline immigration policy popular among some Republicans.

    “For people that have been here for years that have been hard-workers, have good jobs, they’re supporting their family — it’s very, very tough to just say, ‘By the way, 22 years, you have to leave. Get out,’” he said during an appearance on Fox News. “I’m one of the world’s very conservative people, but I have to tell you on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that’s lived in this country for 20 years.”

    IMHO ‘self deportation’ is actually a viable issue / concept – EXCEPT for the fact that the Feds will never institute the items that MUST be imposed to make it work:
    STOP any and ALL freebies to ANYONE NOT following the already established LEGAL path to citizenship

    Who could make this crap up and expect anyone to believe it ?

    “Huma’s influence is so pervasive, and Hillary’s dependence on her so total, that it is expected she will have her own bedroom upstairs in the White House,” a Clinton associate told OrbMagazine’s Richard Turley. “After 20 years as Hillary’s gatekeeper, no one else could screen the calls and decide who gets access as ably as she does.”

    Orb predicts Clinton, in emulation of her hero Eleanor Roosevelt, will install Huma in the second-floor bedroom occupied during the FDR administration by Lorena Hickok, “the journalist who was Mrs. Roosevelt’s soul mate and intimate companion.”

    Some of us refuse to surrender to the New Incivility.

    Actress Patti LuPone may be terminally fed up with rude audiences.

    The Broadway legend snatched the phone of a disruptive theatergoer shortly into the second act of her Wednesday evening performance of “Shows for Days,” the new comedy at Lincoln Center.

    LuPone — who kept the disruptive woman’s phone until after the final curtain — issued a statement about how technology during theater boils her blood.

    “We work hard on stage to create a world that is being totally destroyed by a few rude, self-absorbed and inconsiderate audience members who are controlled by their phones,” said the veteran thespian.

    Knock ’em dead, Patti !

    Looks like there will be no need for the Greeks to sober up and go back to work after all – the EU seems to think it will be willing to give a little more, realizing that the only country in the EU that manages its affairs in an orderly manner is Germany, guess who will be picking up the tab.

    Wow. Hillary really thinks she can steal win the election, doesn’t she?

    I’ve spent most of my day clearing out Handsome Son’s old room. He left and left his crap. Hubby and I are going to move into it temporarily while we get some much delayed construction moving upstairs. Handsome came by this afternoon, after I texted him about his 20 lb. dumbbells and other exercise equipment. He took a couple of boxes last weekend, but didn’t bother to box up anything on his own. Therefore, when he came by today, I informed him that I’m keeping ALL of the money that I’ve found in his room. I swear, there must’ve been $10 in change just on the floor — and then I found the coin jar buried under some stuff on his bureau.

    Not sayin’ how much was in the jar…but let’s just say that I’m now short quite a few coin roller papers.

    I earned every. dang. penny.

    All the profligate children of the EU seem to regard Germany as Mother Piggybank, and the German people are mighty tired of that and likely close to revolt about it.

    When we were in Rome for a few days last October at the end of seeing Greece and its islands, Ephesus in Turkey, and Naples, our taxi driver from the port into the city expressed great worry over Italy’s state. He was in his late 50s I’d guess and used to the generous but unaffordable handouts there that have been cut. Unemployment is high but not as bad as Greece. He complained about the government not fixing things, totally aware that the overspending on goodies and entitlements he longed to be restored fully were the cause of the mess and unemployment. He also was mad at the Germans for being so tightfisted in not helping. Again. As passengers we just exchanges pleasantries and listened.

    On the way to the airport the taxi driver was a younger man around 30, university educated, married with two kids, good English speaker. He had a reasonable grasp of the Italian financial state and blamed the past several governments for letting it go on when it could have been fixed if they had had the cojones to do the hard stuff required. Driving the taxi was an extra job.

    The taxi service our travel agent had selected was excellent and much more professional than the service we had several years before in Rome. All the drivers this time were in suits and ties and driving Mercedes and most spoke good English. Obviously working for that company was a good job to have.

    Everybody knew where Texas is. 🙂
