    FOX news reports that the DNC and the Skankles campaign paid for the infamous “dossier”. This news comes after Skankles herself testified, under oath, that she knew nothing of the document. Further, the involvement of Skankles and the JugEars inJustice Dept in the Uranium One sale is coming under investigation in the Senate. Izzit possible that the noose may actually be around her neck, not yet tight but at least resting on her shoulders?

    I can’t believe MKH could bring herself to write an entire column on Martha Stewart’s dreadfully boring, shallow life.

    Sometimes you just have to take a break from the intense blood-letting of the political world and just focus on an inane topic for a minute.

    Gonna be a long day.

    Worked until after midnight, but I got stuff done! By the time I got my work stuff packed up and got ready for bed, it was about 12:45. Then I couldn’t turn my brain off, so it was after 2:00 a.m. before I fell asleep. MIL butt dialed me at 5:30.

    Good coolish fall morning Hamsters. We had 41 at 6 and a brisk walk to the barn to feed the mares and out to the road to fetch the Chron, for what little it contains of any interest these days other than the comics, the sports teams, some business news, and articles of local interest that haven’t yet been politicized.

    It will be most interesting to see what more sanitized dirt on the Clintons and their minions in the FBI comes out in the LSM that can’t ignore it totally any more. You know only the surface has been scratched.

    Ah, how I love this sweat-suit weather! Wish I felt well enough to chop some wood, or do other aerobic exercise in the cool air! But alas, tomorrow being my semi-annual checkup at my PCP, I better conserve my strength and my breath to make it to that appointment. I had planned to get my flu shot last week, but once I realized I had a cold, I couldn’t. It always looks better when I have evidence of taking care of such routine business.

    Look for the body count of โ€œformer Clinton associatesโ€ to start rising.

    My thoughts exactly. The first thing that went through my head yesterday when I heard about the FBI CI who wanted to come forward was “Is he in the witness protection program yet? And will that be enough to keep him alive until he can testify?”

    From Hammy’s #40 last night – Nope never did wear Dingos

    These Wolverine slipon ‘multi shox’ boots have served me very well (and even though they do not claim waterproof – my feet aint got wet for 5 years or more)

    I need to hit Academy and get another pair,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I was speaking more generically, the “harness” type boots with the brass ring, not necessarily Dingo brand.

    Joe Strauss has just bowed out of running for re-election.

  18. Adee Avatar
    Adee

    Latest on Strauss on the 12:30 news is he will not run for Speaker next session but will run to retain his seat in the house next year. Says he wants to have the freedom of an ordinary seat in the house so he can be at liberty to express his opinion more fully than he could as Speaker. Am guessing that’s a cover for there are likely not enough allies to elect him again.

    Queue the LBGJF wail-fest. This may be enough to push him in full-on Charles Johnson mode.

    Hmm, according to the Tribune, the info I heard on the radio about running for his seat again but not the Speakership could have been garbled. Or not?

    Just heard on Rush that the NFL owners have figured out how to reverse the declining ratings: cut back on Thursday night football games.

    Because we’re being oversaturated with watching football.

    Maybe he’s going to run for governor next year. I don’t even know who’s running other than Abbott. Is Abortion Barbie gonna give it another try? I’m sure perpetual candidate Larry Kilgore will run in the primary. Straus probably won’t run if one of those trash compactor-headed twins from San Antonio run.

    The jury is still out on Monsanto/Glysphosphate toxicity/carcinogen. I think it will be proven to be a carcinogen and one that destroys the immune system and gut flora. My suspicion is that this is the culprit for all the so-called cases of celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

    Thought I’d go work out today.

    Then I walked down stairs. I have no idea what I did, but I tweaked my back and now my leg is distinctly…uncomfortable. I’ve done some hang time, but obviously need some more.

    I guess I’ll stay home, maybe do a little downstairs dancing if I feel up to it, focus on making dinner and catching up on the bookkeeping, and try to get more sleep tonight.

  31. Tedtam Avatar

    I just went to the shop for the mail. Getting in and out of the car was a wince-able event. Sometimes moving helps, but I don’t see dancing or other exercise happening today.

    I’ll just stick to walking around the house for today.

    From Hot Air’s snippet:

    But heโ€™s not. Heโ€™s Kid Rock. He was into hip-hop, then rap-rock, then Southern rock revivalism. His political positions shift the same way. He told protesters to โ€œkiss his assโ€ over a Confederate flag he flew behind him at concerts, then ditched the flag and condemned white supremacy. He has a song called โ€œAbortionโ€ where a father contemplates suicide over the loss of his unborn child, but he has also criticized the pro-life movement in interviews. He, like Trump, says whatever he feels like saying when he feels like it.

    Of course, Trump won. But it only threw the Republican Party further into turmoil. Its future, if anything, is less clear than ever. Republicans donโ€™t know what policies win elections because Donald Trump didnโ€™t actually have any policies.

    Kid Rock might have gotten Republicans closer to a win in Michigan than a more traditional candidate, but he wouldnโ€™t have given them any answers. If Republicans really think they can understand a complicated part of a complicated country through a rabble-rousing rap-rocker, the jokeโ€™s on them.

    Reading the comments to Darren’s #40 above is chapter and verse what Rush describes as the mindset in concrete of the liberal/progressive mob: Project your hateful and destructive behavior onto your opponent so you can feel good about yourself without looking at yourself. Talk of delusion and delusional world views that could never be part of your emotional makeup must bring comfort to those teetering in and out of delusion constantly.

    The big shocker is how infantile this worldview is. However that is likely a requisite to become a useful idiot.

    But a sticky-fingered, mayo stained, baloney burper in NY and a botox saturated, batted out belfry brain in San Fran have their fingers on the pulse of all issues perfectly.

    Just ask the Deep State Media which the WP is a proud member.

    Thank you, Adee. I did conk out for a long nap with my two besty furfriends snuggled up nearby. I’m still spitting up bronchial crud, so I doubt I will appear quite normal to my Doc tomorrow. That had been my hope.

    OK folks, enough of this personal stuff. It’s time to get your game faces on and get ready for some baseball. Almost a must win tonight, so go Astros. You will have time to feel bad and talk politics later.

    I can’t look at Justin Turner without casting him as the troll in this story.

    Once upon a time there were three billy goats, who were to go up to the hillside to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was “Gruff.”

    On the way up was a bridge over a cascading stream they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly troll , with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.

    So first of all came the youngest Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.

    “Trip, trap, trip, trap! ” went the bridge.

    “Who’s that tripping over my bridge?” roared the troll .

    “Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Goat Gruff , and I’m going up to the hillside to make myself fat,” said the billy goat, with such a small voice.

    “Now, I’m coming to gobble you up,” said the troll.

    “Oh, no! pray don’t take me. I’m too little, that I am,” said the billy goat. “Wait a bit till the second Billy Goat Gruff comes. He’s much bigger.”

    “Well, be off with you,” said the troll.

    A little while after came the second Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.

    Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap, went the bridge.

    “Who’s that tripping over my bridge?” roared the troll.

    “Oh, it’s the second Billy Goat Gruff , and I’m going up to the hillside to make myself fat,” said the billy goat, who hadn’t such a small voice.

    “Now I’m coming to gobble you up,” said the troll.

    “Oh, no! Don’t take me. Wait a little till the big Billy Goat Gruff comes. He’s much bigger.”

    “Very well! Be off with you,” said the troll.

    But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff .

    Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.

    “Who’s that tramping over my bridge?” roared the troll.

    “It’s I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ,” said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.

    “Now I ‘m coming to gobble you up,” roared the troll.

    Well, come along! I’ve got two spears,
    And I’ll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
    I’ve got besides two curling-stones,
    And I’ll crush you to bits, body and bones.

    That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn’t fallen off them, why, they’re still fat; and so,

    Snip, snap, snout.
    This tale’s told out.

    Roundup, the DDT of the 21st century.

    Glycophosates have prevented more highly toxic, carcinogenic chemicals from being applied around the world than anything else mankind has invented in the modern era.

    The bastards trying to destroy it are evil as hell.

    It’s the pitchers’ game, all the way through. Back in the old days, the Astros’ pitching staff could strike out 24 out of 27 batters in a game. But they could never get a guy past first base. I can remember them losing game after game at 1-0 or 2-1. Never had the bats but always had the pitch.
