Hillary shrugs off question about whether she ‘wiped’ her server clean…..And the sever was in the bathroom?

Just wondering, has anyone heard from Ms Adee? I guess since it’s been so hot, she may have made a trip up to her home state.

I’ll never tell, but Adee’s fine.

So I’m having my coffee and scrolling through the .gov email addresses posted overnight by the group who hacked the Ashley Madison adultery website.
Things are going to be interesting down there at city hall in Sugarland this morning for the person who has the email address…[email protected]

From yesterday : Hwy 249 from the north Sam Houston Toll road headed north used to be an absolute nightmare to take into Tomball at 5pm. Once past Cypress wood or so all the traffic would be diverted to the feeder and it was the death crawl to get to Tomball. Now one does not have to get off and it is clean, smooth, multi lane superslab into and around Tomball. The 99, Grand Parkway exit is not yet opened as 99 is not finished yet, before this time next year it wii or should be.

The O/C is hilarious.

And the denials continue; lies, obfuscation, delays, stonewalling, belittling, bullying – all classic Clintonian tactics.

HILLARY FOR PRISON 2016!

Hmmm, a potential hurricane in the Caribbean. Look out, Haiti, since you still haven’t recovered from that earthquake 5 1/2 yrs ago. In spite of massive aid, including aid tents and food handouts still ongoing.

As I have said many times, I have nothing good to say about the Republican presidential field. This may be unfair. I have not taken a considered look at their platforms, and rejected them as lacking. As we get closer to the primaries, I will be looking more closely, but at this point, as someone who has been alienated from mainstream politics for about a decade, I don’t feel much obligation to look more closely. Every single thing I hear coming out of the mouths of Republican candidates for president is a retread of the things we have heard every four years for as long as I can remember. Let me be clear: I have kind of a bad conscience for not looking more closely, but so far, they look like carbon copies of each other. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’m wrong.
I believe that the Republicans don’t think that there’s anything wrong economically in this country that giving big business (as distinct from small business) more power, and increasing globalization, will not solve. I believe that Rand Paul possibly excepted, they think that there’s no foreign-policy problem that the application of military force will not solve. I believe that they would be better on “social issues” than Democrats, but I also believe they don’t really care about them, and in any case, those “social issues” are being worked out primarily in the culture, not in politics. Mind you, I think the Democrats would be marginally better on economics and foreign policy, and a lot worse on social issues (especially religious liberty, which is massively important to me). As a conservative, I typically vote Republican in national elections, by default, but my heart is not in it, and has not been since 2004. I am the sort of conservative who longs for a constructive populism.
The idea that Donald Trump — Donald Freaking Trump! — is the embodiment of American populism is, to me, a sign of political decadence. The man is a plutocratic billionaire known only for his flashy swagger, his boundless egotism, his trophy wives, his casinos, and for being a reality TV star. If David Rockefeller were a hip-hop superstar, he would be Donald Trump. He is a demagogue. White Trump supporters who wonder why black people fall for the blatant hucksterism of an Al Sharpton ought to look in the mirror.

I just changed the deductible on my homeowners policy from 10% to 2% for tropical cyclone damage. After this one passes, I will change it back.

Isn’t there a 30–day waiting period before such a change would cover any damage?

#14 TP
Was Shannon in Israel when this happened? -
The Houston City Council used the wrong language when it put its non-discrimination ordinance for gay and transgender residents on the November election ballot, the Texas Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
As part of the ongoing legal challenge to the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, also known as HERO, the council placed the issue on the ballot asking voters whether the city should repeal the ordinance. But the court ruled the city council must reword the language because the vote should be on whether to affirm the ordinance, not repeal it.
That means the ordinance will not take effect unless voters say so.

#12 He kinda has a point, at least until Bronco. Read my lips, NCLB, TARP, Medicaid expansion.

This rankles me particularly, because I was giving Trump a Second Look based on the document released over the weekend. All right, I conceded, on this issue, I guess he’s serious about it.
But now he starts talking about the wonders of foreign workers again, and I have to take a Second Look at my Second Look.
Does he bother reading the documents drafted in his name, or what? Is this all just “What’s in Trump’s gut at any particular moment”?

Apparently another PP video has been released. If this is the kind of stuff that the majority of our population is willing to tolerate, and if this is the kind of President who admittedly supports infanticide, it’s no wonder our country is falling apart. If mothers are killing their babies, the most innocent among us, why should we think that marauding teens killing each other is a big deal? I don’t think God is on our (the USA) side any more.

PS – I probably couldn’t handle the video, and they are not through yet. -
#29: And the LSM blackout continues. If they speak of it at all, they refer to the “highly edited” videos. Funny how they never seem to mention that the unedited versions are released at the same time.

Getting a heavy rain and loving it! Makes for a better than average nap with all those natural sounds, even a little thunder. 🙂

No Child Left Behind was co-authored by Ted Kennedy and George Bush although the critics right and left seem to somehow forget that and passed with huge Democratic support.
Medicaid expansion has been pushed far more by Democrats than Republicans.
And here is a good refresher on TARP:
3) TARP was bipartisan. More Democrats voted for it than Republicans in both chambers, but the level of bipartisanship in the TARP vote was pretty much unprecedented for such a controversial piece of legislation. In the House, 171 Democrats and 91 Republicans voted for it. In the Senate 40 Democrats, 33 Republicans and 1 Independent voted for it. See the full roll call details here — Senate and House.
4) In January 2009, at the beginning of the 111th Congress, The Senate voted in favor of releasing the second tranche of TARP money and the House voted against releasing it. Under the language of the law, both chambers would have had to vote against the second tranche for it to be blocked (though, even then the bill to block the funds would have been vetoed by Obama). In the Senate 6 Republicans joined 44 Democrats and 1 Independent in voting to release the second tranche of funds. In the House, the vote on blocking tranche two was passed by 270-155, with only 4 Republicans voting against the bill (i.e. in favor of releasing the additional money).
5) According to research from MapLight.org, senators and reps. voting in favor of TARP have received 47% more money from interest groups like commercial banks, securities companies and the Chamber of Commerce that supported the bill.
I don’t see how the author of your quote can justify all that he said. He seems to be a semi-low information voter.

Oh, my Lord.

Watch out. There’s a storm out there in the Atlantic that poses no threat to land, but you had better stock up on batteries and water (and ammo) just in case, although if you stop listening to the weather on the radio or TV you will probably die anyway. And don’t forget to wrap your pipes – especially if you are a thug living in the hood.

#32 Texpat – regardless of who else supported all of those, the supposedly fiscal conservative republican’s fingerprints were all over them.

I mean seriously, big government or slightly smaller big government ain’t much of a choice. Add to that the fact that we’re markedly more socially liberal I don’t see much point in bothering to vote.

I don’t disagree. But you have to admit a minority of Republicans voted for the first round of TARP funding and very few, 6 senators and only 4 House Republicans voting for the second round. That’s pretty significant.
It’s also the main reason the Republicans trounced the elections in 2010. The biggest problem we have is in congressional leadership, not the rank and file. Boehner and McConnell and their lackeys need to be gone.

Andrew Breitbart was critically right about one thing:
Politics are downstream from culture. The cultural and social breakdown has been mainly non-political plus the insane rulings of SCOTUS.
Dennis Prager preaches constantly that if we don’t change hearts and minds in the Public Square, we’ll never be able to turn the tide in the political realm.

At best 2010 was a pyrrhic victory. We ended up with Rmoney and four more years of Obama, along with Agent Orange still in charge.

Maybe Ashley Madison should close up shop now and save itself the trouble of waiting until the lawsuits force them into bankruptcy.
In honor of their incredible incompetence, and the sleazy idiocy of their entire business model, here are the Top 10 Ashley Madison pickup lines recovered from the server:

8 “I’ve got this one weird trick that will totally rock your cooter!” — [email protected]
7 “Yeah, I’ve got to be willing to throw my body in the path of a bullet. My big, sweaty male body. Pretty hot, huh?” — [email protected]
6 “I’m into submission, saving the environment, and raising taxes.” — [email protected]
5 “I’m into submission, saving the environment, and raising taxes.” — [email protected]
4 “You can have sex with me, or I can have your entire family liquidated. Your choice.” — [email protected]

I was listening to Medved during my nap and he had Cruz on. It was neither confirmed nor denied that Trump has told Cruz he wants him for VP. -
Who IS this clown who thinks “Democrats would be marginally better on economics and foreign policy” ??
I love Dreher, but I don’t look to him for economics edification .

Just so I’m clear, we’re happy with the fiscally conservative GWB, his pappy, and are confident McCain and Romney would have been dyed-in-the-wool fiscal conservatives as well?

That PP video transcript is horrific. How can these people walk around without working hearts?

I think it might be nice to recommission Old Sparky to deal with the PP folks – leaving a few of the connection loose enough to induce arcing and sparking, along with a lot of smoke, crackling, and popping.

Just so I’m clear, if ” Letting It Burn” is the quickest way to reclaiming our country, why isn’t actively supporting and voting for Clinton preferable to not voting at all ?
-
My not voting isn’t a let it burn act. It’s a protest against having no viable choice.

No, we’re not happy with the Bush family or any other RINO mooshies, either. -
Finally, a good chronology of the anchor baby problem in both legislation and jurisprudence. YES, it is Ann Coulter once again, who has compiled and documented these facts.

I couldn’t finish the PP transcript. I’ve never seen any of the IslamoNazi beheading videos either.
I don’t need to see and experience evil to know what it is. -
#54: Disasters one and all!
Moderate, milquetoast, “compassionate conservatives” fail every time they EFFING run. If they manage to win they damage conservatism as an idea because they horridly misrepresent it, or if they lose they wind up advancing liberalism by default. The moderate Rs suck donkey butt!I don’t much care for them.
