SOMETIMES YOU ARE THE NUT

The 'showdown' in the Senate is upcoming by week's end... The Republicans want an 'up and down' vote on Judge Gorsich and the Democrats want to prevent this vote with a filibuster.

This is what Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said on the Senate floor, November 2013 when Republicans were stalling the votes on some Democrat appointments with their own fillibusters.

“We need to call out these filibusters for what they are: naked attempts to nullify the results of the last presidential election. To force us to govern as though President Obama hadn’t won the 2012 election. Well, President Obama did win the 2012 election by five million votes, and he has done what the Constitution requires him to do.”.

BASICALLY, I AGREE WITH HER.... Her statement just needs a tweak to two....

We need to call out these filibusters for what they are: naked attempts to nullify the results of the last presidential election. To force us to govern as though President TRUMP hadn't won the 2016 election. Well, President TRUMP did win the 2016 election by 74 electoral college votes, and he has done what the Constitution requires him to do.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is obviously a true patriot. She honors the Senate by her mere presence and has an unwavering reverence for the United States Constitution. She understands that the winner of the Presidential Election has the right to have their nominees voted on and not blocked by filibusters of the minority who have lost an election. I agree with her completely. The only problem is that she does not agree with herself anymore. She apparently no longer thinks that filibusters are naked attempt to nullify the results of elections. That's called a '180'. Well....you know what they say, "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."  Sometimes you are the nut.

SUPREMELY BAD CHOICE

Today is Tuesday, January 31st and President Trump is expected to make an announcement regarding his choice for the vacancy on the Supreme Court at 8PM Eastern Time. I am very hopeful that his choice will be a jurist who understands and respects the United States Constitution. I am very hopeful that his choice will be politically conservative. I am even hopeful that his choice will be a young man or woman, so that they can serve for many years. One thing is certain. If the choice is good, the left in this country will go absolutely bonkers. They will claim what they always claim. This candidate is outside the 'mainstream.' Mainstream is apparently defined as leftist. The candidate is likely to be called a far-right winger or perhaps a member of the 'alt-right' (whatever the heck that is).  It is certainly likely that the candidate will be called anti-union, anti-black or anti-gay,  It usually does not matter what the facts are. It is important that the left paint the nominee as the worst person ever.  Another thing is certain. The louder the lefties scream about this candidate, the more likely I am to approve of the candidate. Tonight when this nominee is announced, I hope the left is enraged. If they are not enraged, I likely will be. 

If the nominee is a supremely bad choice from the perspective of the leftists, it will be true that Donald Trump will have saved the Supreme Court which was hanging together by a lone fraying thread prior to election day last November.

TRUTH, JUSTICE, and the AMERICAN WAY

GOP is the 'Grand Old Party.'
These days, it is more like the 'Glorified Obsolete Party.'
A headline today from some clueless North Dakotan delegate was quoted as saying:
"The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That's the conflict here."
And here's the kicker....The statement is technically true. It is the delegates that elect the nominee.

And if the Republican Party really thinks that they can select and nominate another candidate other than one of the clear leaders in the delegate count - The party will be even more ripped to shreds than it already is.  Please understand that I am not happy that Donald Trump is leading in committed delegates.

AMERICA NEEDS SOMEONE TO FIGHT FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY.  AMERICA NEEDS SUPERMAN - SADLY HE IS NOT RUNNING.

This is going to be a long hot summer.
And the first day of Spring is still one week away.

Are these really the two most qualified Americans to run for President of the United States?  NEITHER OF THESE TWO HAS EVEN A RUDIMENTARY RELATIONSHIP WITH TRUTH. In Hillary's case, I would say that she has no relationship with Truth, Justice or the American Way.

I used to be the kind of guy who could listen to talk radio for endless hours each day.  When I was not listening to talk radio I used to watch cable news.  More and more I find myself purposefully looking for escape within Netflix and/or my vast music library while I am working out on the elliptical machine.  Reality has become unappealing.  Recently I have preferred to be lost in the 'future' watching old episodes of Star Trek. I find that entertainment is better for my mental well-being.

LOSING WEIGHT and/or MAINTAINING MY WEIGHT LOSS IS ALSO GOOD FOR MY WELL-BEING... and I feel that I might be soon be getting back on course in that endeavor.
