Today is now known as President’s Day. February used to include Lincoln’s birthday and Washington’s birthday, and of course all the other Presidents wanted a day set aside for their remembrance as well, so it was all lumped together and called President’s Day. Well, I about lost so much respect for the office and for the individuals of late who… Read more »

Good morning Hamsters. It’s the Ides of February and 58 with lots of fog on the moors of the Brazos at Richmond.

You fell asleep on the couch my recliner. A burglar kicks down your front door and jams a cold pistol muzzle to your forehead is found by paramedics bleeding out in my entryway after a fusillade of pistol fire in .40 & .45 caliber.

I’m getting whipsawed between kittens and politics. Is whipsawed even a word? I’m too tired to look it up.
Make no mistake about it………… I believe at the end of the day Cruzzzzzzzz is gonna whip the Donald even in SC 🙂 . BUT I have thrown out betting on how things will shake out based on past performances.

Sarge Cruzzzzzzzzzzz might win. But the Donald is far from being drummed out for his bombastidy. Never said he was. I was talking about SC Primary only. But losing SC isn’t going to help him, and infact will do more damage to his “I always win.” persona, which is about half of which propels him. Being a two out of… Read more »
Btw I think Georgie was aware of and downplayed the threat but the reality is what could he have done? The truth is our country was not prepared to be on high terrorist alerts cause nothing happened here since the attack on the trade center some years before.

If it was widely read by South Carolina voters and didn’t make a dent, you’re probably right.

Is Dubya some sort of sacred GOeP Cow? When did that happen? He was a terrible president IMO.–His wide open border policy was no different than the current agitating malcontent at 1600 Penn. And he’s one of the biggest reasons we got saddled with Nightmare on FrankenHussein Street the last 7 years, going on 8. Talk about a watered down,… Read more »

Byron York makes the case that Trump pee peed in his Wheaties last night. It’s not the first time Trump has said such things. But he was taking a risk, calculated or not, on saying them in South Carolina. George W. Bush remains popular among state Republicans. Perhaps that does not mean everything Bush did remains equally popular, but slamming… Read more »
I put out a call for family support in caring for Mom. My Michigan based sister is coming down weekends, including Monday, to help sit with her.

@1 –

I see Hillary has a new movie coming out just in time for peak primary season.
Jury is still out on the Flarda influx.

The Pennsylvanians were able to assimilate.
It was the Michigan Redneck invasion that ruined everything.
And you wonder why I live in a place called Cut-n-Shoot.

Now that’s funny. Even if not applicable.

Good one, Bobby.
It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
I never actually said it would be a brokered convention, only that the results of a brokered convention are guaranteed.
If it isn’t over by 3/16, there will be a brokered convention.
Whatsa matter wit you boy, can’t chu read?

Probably.
Make no mistake…this race will be over by March 16th.
It plays well with me cause I’m sick and tired of the lying SOB-GOeP.
