Ann Coulter once said that if Trumpalina built a wall he could perform abortions in the White House for all she cared.
I am going to put this phrase in the category of hyperbole. I’m pretty sure that she was not advocating for abortions in any way but, rather, vigorously advocating controlling the southern border.
Eric Ericson and Red State are still on my xxxx list, but this article makes some sense. If the conservatives run a candidate for Speaker and lose, the power runs back to the winner. If they sit tight and use their veto power wisely, they can affect change slowly but surly to the right while attempting to strengthen their position… Read more »

Nasa scientists find evidence of flowing water on Mars. Liquid water runs down canyons and crater walls over the summer months on Mars, according to researchers who say the discovery raises the chances of being home to some form of life. The trickles leave long, dark stains on the Martian terrain that can reach hundreds of metres downhill in the… Read more »

You’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to beat SD to the punch.
First!
???
Packers 38 Chiefs 28 at the end. 🙂
Watch out Texpat. Hurricane headed your way.
Run!!
Packers 24 Chiefs 7 at the half.
Hmmm. Seems to indicate the Packers are a somewhat superior team to the Texans.
Watching the Packers and Chiefs. Packers 24 Chiefs 7 at the half.
Hic
Yeah and Shannon showed up empty handed.
Oh, and while our Crazy Aunt was out and about, GJT and Shannon drank all the beer,…..I didn’t get off work until 4:30.
Twren’t me, I had the Brisling Sardines, on toast with cheese and Tabasco……Good Stuff Maynard. 😉
Hopefully the kids heart is proportional to his size and he can live a full rich life.
Giantism is no laughing matter, it is a serious medical condition.
Who left the tuna fish on the counter, is it still good?
