Fuck Romney.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

In 12 Rules Jordan Peterson describes the different levels of aggression between two lobsters competing for the same territory. In the early stages they do things like circle each other with claws raised, then separate. A later stage is one of them charging the other. Anyway, this all escalates until the final stage when they grapple and try to rip off body parts. At that point, only one will survive. Peterson implies that this ritual of escalating combat applies to humans as well.

I think we are now at that final, "only one will survive" point in the struggle between the swamp creatures and Donald Trump and the brave fighters on his side in D.C. We are at a critical point. It is very possible that some of the most powerful political figures of our time might very well be going to prison, including the former head of the FBI, Hillary Clinton, and maybe even Barack Obama.

I don't know how this will play out. Nothing like it has ever happened in American history. But I know that both sides are fighting for their lives, and it is going to get very very ugly before it's over.

This could only happen here in West Virginia, for multiple reasons. Some comedic relief whilst we await the memo:

(WSAZ) -- A group of ladies who work the morning shift at Hardee's in Lewisburg received a message from President Donald Trump on Thursday.

It all started when West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, made a stop through the drive-thru ahead of going to pick up President Trump at the Greenbrier Valley Airport.

The president was in town to speak at the GOP retreat being held at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs.

Justice says that when he was going through the drive-thru, the ladies who work at the fast food restaurant came and asked him to tell the president they loved and supported him.

"I hollered 'tell Jim to tell Trump hi!'" general manager Shirley Mandeville explained she was in another part of the restaurant when the governor was at the window. She and three other ladies eventually chatted with the governor, asking him to send a message that they were big supporters of the president.

"He left and we never thought anything about it," Mandeville said.

But on the way from the airport to The Greenbrier, Justice gave the president the message. He suggested if he had something to write on that he send the ladies a message. Justice said he knew "they would go crazy."

Justice says that's when the president took the second page of his speech and wrote the ladies a message. It said:

"Hardee's Gals, Take care of Big Jim - a great guy. Donald Trump."

After the president's speech wrapped up Justice skipped the drive-thru and went back in the eatery.

"He had this letter and he read what the president had on there."

Mandeville, who has been at the restaurant for 28-years says of the day, " most exciting one I think I've ever had there."

She made a few copies of the note so each of the ladies could have one. She has hers with her Trumpy-Bear.

She plans to frame another copy for the restaurant.

"He just seems so honest to me, when he says he is going to do something he does it and that is what I like in somebody," she explained of the president.

It was nice of Trump to acknowledge those women working at Hardees.

That hand written note on the back of the second page of his speech will be worth something one day.

Where is wimpy Jeff Sessions on this memo business? Why isn't he out there promoting its release? I thought he was supposed to help President Trump drain the swamp.

Sessions is Trump's single biggest mistake so far.

I think Sessions' hands are tied by his recusal.

This memo and the Mueller investigation are under Rod Rosenstein.

Oh, I thought you knew. He recused himself from all matters involving the 2016 campaign because of his active role in campaigning for Trump.




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

FBI Warns Republican Memo Could Undermine Faith In Massive, Unaccountable Government Secret Agencies


WASHINGTON— Stressing that such an action would be highly reckless, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Thursday that releasing the “Nunes Memo” could potentially undermine faith in the massive, unaccountable government secret agencies of the United States.

“Making this memo public will almost certainly impede our ability to conduct clandestine activities operating outside any legal or judicial system on an international scale,” said Wray, noting that it was essential that mutual trust exist between the American people and the vast, mysterious cabal given free rein to use any tactics necessary to conduct surveillance on U.S. citizens or subvert religious and political groups.

“If we take away the people’s faith in this shadowy monolith exempt from any consequences, all that’s left is an extensive network of rogue, unelected intelligence officers carrying out extrajudicial missions for a variety of subjective, and occasionally personal, reasons.”

At press time, Wray confirmed the massive, unaccountable government secret agencies were unaware of any wrongdoing for violating constitutional rights.

I saw him very briefly at the SOTU when they were all waiting for the POTUS to arrive.

He looked befuddled.

I am not kidding. The look on his face was pure befuddlement like "what am I doing here?"

Frankly, I would rather have a person as AG who knew when to keep his mouth shut!

Too many seem to think that they should keep blabbing about things that should be kept quiet until THE RIGHT TIME comes.

Investigations and their interim progress should NOT be blabbed about by idiot politicraPs.

They should announce that ICE enforcement actions will be tripled in all sanctuary areas.
