Lack of term limits is what enables our representatives to ignore the pople unless they are due for reelection. | |||

Completely different situation. Term limits has certainly worked in Whackyland! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Bingo. Congress was never intended to be a lifetime job. And politics now is vastly different than it was even 30 years ago. Times change, and the gravy train needs to change also. | |||

To be honest, Kommiefornia was circling the drain long before term limits. My dad always claimed that 187 was a grave that the GOP dug for itself. Something to think about. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

I'm okay with term limits, as long as we repeal the 17th first. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

Enjoyed Steve Bannon’s Interview on 60 minutes. | |||

Dang, you watched 60 Minutes. I wouldn't be able to manage that. | |||

In my defense, I watched Steve Bannon. I'd never heard him do an interview before. And not to put too fine a point on it, he could have easily been mistaken for a certain moderator of a certain forum telling a certain membership that Donald Trump doesn't need Charlie Rose's advice on how to run a campaign, or a Presidency. EDIT: That was supposed to be a joke. Para was funnier in one line than I was in four. | |||

Get my pies outta the oven! |
I heard some clips this morning on talk radio of Bannon handling the smug Charlie Rose with ease on 60 Minutes, especially this back-and-forth:
These friggin' bastards played games with the color saturation to make Bannon look "evil" though. Following Steve Bannon’s highly anticipated interview with Charlie Rose on 60 Minutes Sunday night, professional photographer Peter Duke published a video explainer on how CBS may have used color adjustments to make the Breitbart News boss “look bad” on television. | |||

I saw this image on the CBS site last night. As soon as I saw the pic, I knew they'd been playing around with the color balance. | |||

I only caught part of the interview but went back and watched the whole thing online. I was impressed. The only thing was his opinion that Comey should have not been fired ~ not because he didn't deserve it but because it would have been better for the Trump administration. I will have to think about that for a while. Overall I think he held his own and represented well. | |||

Confirmation of the obvious: The Democrat Party's propaganda arm, the MSM, applies negative spin to everything relating to Trump. Trump has received more news coverage in his first 9 months in office than Obama did in his last two years in office, and 91% of all coverage of Trump is negative/adverse. The press isn't trying to show us news, it's trying to undermine the Trump administration. Note that the article includes many charts and graphs that quantify the MSM's sins, but you'll need to go to the URL to see them: LINK

More food for the Worry Warts Face It: The Trump Boom Is Here Stephen Moore Posted: Sep 12, 2017 12:01 AM Has anyone noticed -- through the fog of Russia, James Comey, Charlottesville and now two monster hurricanes -- that the U.S. economy is booming faster than it has since the late Clinton years? It is undeniable. In the last year of the Obama administration, the economy was decelerating, with a dismal 1.6 percent growth rate. The economy revved up to a 3 percent growth rate in the second quarter this year. And some recent estimates for third-quarter GDP indicate even brisker growth, around 3.4 percent. It's easy to read too much into short-term trends, and, yes, they can turn on a dime. But the new bounce in the step of the economy is confirmed by many other indicators, almost all of which point straight North. The Dow Jones industrial average is up more than 3,000 points (starting with the 257-point rally the day after the election), and the net wealth of Americans -- mostly through their pension funds -- has increased by more than $4 trillion. Last month the University of Michigan, which tracks consumer sentiment, reported that confidence soared to near its highest level in at least a decade. Other surveys by the National Federation of Independent Business and the National Association of Manufacturers also find a flurry of optimism. You hear these same sentiments anecdotally from employers. Everywhere I go I ask CEOs, "How is business?" The answer is almost always one of two words: "good" or "great." Optimism abounds. One construction executive told me recently, "It was like on Election Day a light switch was flicked on and our business started improving and it hasn't stopped." Just a few months ago many economists were warning that the economy and the stock market were tapped out and that a recession and a stock market correction were overdue. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers predicted that slow growth was "the new normal" for America: The Obama brain trust could only squeeze out 2 percent growth from the American economy even in a good year, so there was no way Trump could do better. I was one of the advisers during the campaign who urged Trump to aim for 3 to 4 percent growth unrelentingly. It was obvious that the economy wasn't running out of gas, but just the opposite. The post-Great Recession recovery was running $2 trillion behind an average recovery and $3 trillion below the trend line from the pace of the Reagan expansion. Liberals have taken note of the economic revival and are scrambling to invent plausible explanations without having to -- God forbid -- assign any credit to Trump. The latest spin is that this is the "Janet Yellen economy" driven by the Fed's low interest-rate policies. But if the Fed's zero-interest-rate policies of the last eight years (2009-2016) are the engine for growth, why did the spurt only start happening once Trump was on the scene? The Trump presidency has ended what economist Larry Kudlow calls Washington D.C.'s war against business. The Obama-era regulatory rampage has come to a screeching halt. Some 16 Obama-era regulations have been suspended so far. A notable dividend from these policies is the improbable comeback in coal. After being declared a dead industry by liberals last year, coal production is up more than 12 percent this year -- which means not just more mining jobs but more hiring in trucking, steel and manufacturing as well. That's a microcosm of the Trump effect. Again, these are short-term numbers, and business owners and the stock market are counting on the Trump tax cut, especially in the aftermath of the Obamacare repeal whiff. The lower corporate tax rate would mean trillions of dollars in higher stock values. So far, eight months into his presidency, love him or hate him, Trump has shifted the economy and wealth creation into a faster gear. If Republicans -- and hopefully pro-business Democrats -- can pass a meaningful tax cut this fall, the Trump boom may just be getting started. https://townhall.com/columnist...oom-is-here-n2379961 41 | |||

A gentle slap on the wrist.... : Missouri state senator who hoped for Trump assassination censured by her colleagues JEFFERSON CITY • State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal faced her Senate colleagues on Wednesday for the first time since she hoped for the assassination of President Donald Trump in an August Facebook post. The upper chamber voted overwhelmingly to censure the senator in what amounts to a formal reprimand. Majority Floor Leader Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, said the censure was the first in Missouri Senate history. "They understand that I have made a mistake," Chappelle-Nadal said of her constituents, in response to an inquiry from Sen. Bill Eigel, who asked why she won't resign. "I have to continue working to build that trust and do the hard work of the district." The move to censure Chappelle-Nadal took about 15 minutes in a chamber that moves as slow as molasses some days. It was the most eventful action of the Legislature's annual veto session, where Republicans chose not to override any of the legislation Republican Gov. Eric Greitens nixed this year. Kehoe said the Senate could still choose to expel Chappelle-Nadal in the future if it chooses. The vote was bipartisan, with all Republicans present voting to expel Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, was one of two "no" votes, the other coming from Sen. Shalonn "Kiki" Curls, D-Kansas City. Chappelle-Nadal declined to vote. Nasheed said what Chappelle-Nadal said was “horrible.” But, she lashed out at both Republicans and Democrats for voting for the censure. "This is about Republicans pandering to their base. And it’s about Democrats who want to run statewide hoping that it won’t harm them," Nasheed said, without naming names. "I voted 'yes,'" said Sifton, who considered running for attorney general in the 2016 election. "That's all that I have to say about it." http://www.stltoday.com/news/l...0B89BC16A7DF9646B9B6 "Some things are apparent.
