'THE LIES AND DECEPTION OF THE MEDIA FOR WEEKS!' MARK LEVIN COMES ROARING BACK MONDAY EVENING

By: Chris Pandolfo | March 06, 2017

Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin came roaring back on the radio Monday night after a weekend of media hysterics, in which questions Levin raised last week about the Obama administration’s spying were met with arrogant dismissal from the mainstream media.

Levin called out CNN’s Brian Stelter, who earlier today accused him of peddling a “conspiracy theory,” asking him and the rest of the media why they are now denying that the Obama administration asked for FISA court warrants to surveil the Trump campaign.  

“For weeks the media had reported there were FISA court orders!” Levin roared.

Levin nailed the essential question: If there were no FISA court warrants issued last year, then why did the media report that there were for weeks?

So, if the media, for example, The New York Times, was correct in reporting that there were FISA warrants issued for listening to the Trump Campaign during the election season, how is that a conspiracy theory? And if the media was incorrect in reporting the existence of these FISA warrants, why were the stories never retracted? I am aware that this wouldn't be the first time that the New York Times has reported Fake News. But both situations can't be true.

HOMERUN , FIRST AT BAT

This post might be of interest only to quilters. That might be a very thin slice of the readers of this blog. Nevertheless, yesterday, I did the equivalent of a major league rookie hitting a home run in his first at bat. It does not happen often, but it has happened.  From the baseball almananc.com:

Being a Major League baseball player is hard, and nothing might be harder than that very first at bat. Coming up to the plate against your first Major League pitcher, you hear the cheers at home or the boos on the road, but most of all you just hear the word in your head: "make it worth it." How many players have come up to bat their first time only to head back to the dugout with a lifetime .000 average? Countless. How many have gone to the plate with doubt in their minds, only to return there four bases later with a perfect career average?.

I just received a new 'line' to sell in two of the states that I travel to: Ohio and Indiana. The line is ALEXANDER HENRY FABRICS. Three cartons of samples were waiting for me when I returned home last Friday. On Saturday, I called what appeared to be historically the best customer of this line. I had barely unpacked the entire line before I stuffed the fabric samples into a suitcase. I visited my first customer yesterday, a customer that I had previously never met. I hit the equivalent of a homerun in my first at bat. The order placed by this customer was huge. I sent the order in to the company, and the folks that hired me were somewhat impressed.  Basically, I had hit a homerun on my first at bat.  Still, in the future, I hope to hit plenty of singles, doubles and triples and occasionally a few more homers.

Why not make a baseball analogy today?  Pitchers and Catchers are starting to report to Spring Training this week! A sure sign that spring is on the way - an even more reliable harbinger of things to come than a chipmunk or otter or whatever the critter is that either does see on not see his shadow on February 2nd! Oh, I guess it is a groundhog, since the the day is called Groundhogs Day!

TWO DAY BREAK

Since the first week after I decided to change my lifestyle I have been working out once per day. Circumstances in the Amish town that I have been the past two days have precluded me from working out as I normally like.  The hotel that I am registered does not have a fitness room.  Furthermore, the nearest YMCA is nearly one half hour away.  My trade show starts very early in the morning, 8:00AM and I am traveling with my young daughter.

I was aware that the fact that I had not given myself a break for working out was actually counter-productive - I have now decided not to fret too much about this two day break.  I will likely be home in time tonight in order to exercise - but I think I will allow myself to have this two day break without getting crazy about it.  I might have compounded my weekly weight fluctuations by eating at an Amish buffet two nights in a row.  Last night I did return to the buffet for 'seconds' although I mostly piled on some cabbage and green beans

Since my weight has been bouncing up and down the past few weeks - I am mentally prepared for an annoying weigh-in on Saturday.  Whatever the scale says on Saturday, I will get 'back on program' and back on track immediately.  This will mean more strictly regulating my calories and daily trips to the fitness room.

I invited my daughter to accompany me on this trip as I expected that we would have an enjoyable 400 mile drive to our destination - and we did.

I invited my daughter to accompany me on this trip as I expected that we would have an enjoyble 400 mile drive back home - and we will.

I did not invite my daughter to accompany me on this trip to assist me during the trade show - BUT SHE DID.   My daughter did not write just one order with customers yesterday - she wrote two orders!   It was so much fun for me to see her interacting with real customers and taking their button order.  When I submitted the order to Dill Button Company - the president of the company and the customer service department both responded extremely enthusiastically to my daughters contribution.

My daughter writing her first button order with real customers at a fabric show!

I invited my daughter to accompany me on this trip as I thought it would be fun - We have had a treat time together and the trip was wildly memorable.

DER DUTCHMAN BUFFET SALAD - LOW CALORIE, VERY HEALTHY

DER DUTCHMAN BUFFET MEAL - PAN ROASTED CHICKEN, GREEN BEANS, CREAMED CORN, CABBAGE, SMALL PORTION BREAD PUDDING, STUFFING (This was a combination of some high calorie choices and some very healthy low calorie choices)  THE DINNER WAS DELICIOUS.  I HAVE JUST RANDOMLY ASSIGNED 1000 CALORIES TO THIS MEAL - although I do assume (and hope) that the reality would have been significantly less.
