learning all i can

Just a thought here. Trump has in the past continously said that if Iran were to harm or kill Americans that there would be consequences. The "Red line" was drawn sometime back. Everybody has known from his previous action that he does what he says, why would now be different? Are the Dems so use to mealy-mouthed Presidents and get nothing done Presidents that they just think Trump is the same? If they had thought ahead instead of only being one minded about getting Trump out of office, why didn't they invoke authority before Trump did what he had already vowed. Nancy has really done herself in this time. She has now double jeopardy haunting her abilities to lead. She has actually destroyed any kind of respect that most held for her by letting her 4 talking heads take control of what little common sense she once had. This is proof that the Dems do not have the ability to look ahead and are incompetent. I just can't wait for the November elections. Surely changes will be made. Statistics tell us that most people vote straight down the line in the Presidential election. We can only hope and pray this will be the case in Nov. I know it will be for me.

ADAM, on my settings there are a couple of button that will not turn on. Could that be it

I just got a notification on top of the 3 bars. I am happy with that, atleast now I am notified when something happens. I loved the bell but this will work for me just fine Adam. Please dont trouble yourself with additional tinkering on my account, I'm sure you have more to think about than a bell. I appreciate your time and looking into this for me.

let me tell ya this, if I hit the 3 bars at the top right it will then show the bell. Before it was always on the forum page showing any notifications. It was located left of the plus sign always in sight.

No, I was already signed in, but the bell is still not there.. I signed out and back again with no change. Btw Adam, I just want you to know that I appreciate you.

Yes, I am. Thanks for reminding me to look

I have always had a bell and my name at the top of forum pages that has in the past informed me of quotes or anything related to my post. The bell and my name has disappeared. I have gone to settings and cannot turn some of them back on. Has there been a change in notifications and can you help me. It is such a convenience of notification. thank you in advance barb

Shabbs, I see your best friend is back in full force. Only his vengeance has been steered towards me instead of spite for you. His childish play is just that. For some reason he just can't take any kind of rejection and feels that all must agree with him or he takes revenge to support his bad behavior......you must be feeling pretty good that he's somewhat off your back. I only hope that he understands that his attention for me only shows that I have really riled his dander and it feels good. Anyone that can continuously shows so much rage and anger for another should have their blood pressure checked. Checking ones heart and where it truly lies is always a good thing. He must also realize that everyone here knows his actions.....and it is only a dislikabe trait We all see thru him, everyone knows his hateful ways and his division. He is nothing more than a joke to me....happy rubies and squirrely faces Shabbs. I wear mine knowing that I have succeeded and spoken truth of his misguided heartt in getting him to show exactly what kind of man he really is. He is just not the man he tried to get all of to believe he is. He sure doesn't live what he has continously preached to all of us. Good day Shabbs

Shabbs, I used the quote button.....its not showing quotes for me. I had indicated this in my response to yota and ask why. looks like it did this time. Maybe fixed

Is it now

No offense taken Shabbs. But Facebook didn't get Trump elected. The deplorables stood as one and was able to overcome. Facebooks mistakes only contributed to something that was going to happen anyway. I just can't believe that facebook was the cause or reason but as always, "this is just my opinion"

Yota, Our Potus was elected inspite of Facebook and every other internet outlet. Anything to boost their own ego and pride is their game. They want to take credit for something that they fought against but but lost the battle. This shows the arrogance of big companies that think they control the people of the US. I agree with your underline, it was the deplorables that proofed to out wit, out play and stand firm against any establishment that comes up against us. I do have fear what facebook ect. are doing to the minds of our youth. The future looks somewhat bleak with our younger generation. Here is where facebook and others can take ALL the credit. The zombie generation will never know what hit'em but it's coming. I hope I'm gone before the complete take over gets here btw. I was unable to show your quote. Is there a reason why.

Is that a hyena. Poor thing.....live and learn

nstoolman, I'm not telling you anything of the sort. I said it was demeaning when one uses these emojis without explanation and too cowardly to face the poster. More likely they are used because of dislike of the poster than the post Without explaination how can anyone gain from a cross eyed emoji. I never once tried to tell you or anyone else not to use emojis but it was cowardly to use and not face the poster with some kind of responsibility of why I suppose like everyone else here I should be able to give my opinion. Thanks for letting me know you didn't like it and you disagree. My explanation here was my opinion, you certainly don t have to agree but at least don't say what I said was something that it was not.

no, I mean having to be politically correct and do believe all of Washingtons thoughts and beliefs are the only way for as to think and live Take Merry Chrisymas as an example. Now if anything ever deserved a squirrely face, this would be among the top. Just so your party says it's so doesn't make it fact. When did we as men and wo.en with a half a brain become so dedicated to a political party that we no long use any of our own brain power and decency. Just my way of thinking that perhaps it's time for us to look at ourselves instead of letting government dictate what we say, do and believe

lol.....all of them are demeaning and showing disapproval but "hey" how must one express themselves other than a rebuttal that many refuse to show their cowardly response but willing to show their dislike faceless and nameless. Of course that's pretty easy to do behind a keyboard, regardless still a coward. I have no problem with one calling me out and perhaps responding with a decent reply that may help me see the other side of the coin but there are some here that respond with derrogatoy emojis just because of the dislike of the person and not the actual post. Political correctness is just that.....aren't we trying to drain that swamp. Political correctness has taken away common courtesy and brought about bad behavior that all of us now accept as a way of life. I include myself.....screw you before you screw me.....or if you screw me, I will screw you. It has become very rare to find any common courtesy anywhere. Just another sign of mankind devolving but accepting it as ok or right....this isn't preaching just declaring my guilt. Apparently I must be a follower instead of a leader.

The confused face and smiley face is used to to try to make one feel stupid or ignorant...like you I find it insulting especially with the quality and intelligence that many post. Most post are designed to insult but now a confused or laughing face does the job for them without any input....only arrogance

One of the best heartfelt and reasoning post that I have read in a long time. The US has always been ready, willing and able when evil looks us in the eye and threatens. We stay strong because we don't back down and run scared of what might happen but defend what may happen. Thank you for reminding us, thank you for your post that all of us should claim in our hearts.

I'm confused, it's either too early for me to understand this piece or maybe my ignorance is showing thru but I've never heard fox news claim that ALL were deep state. Every barrel has some bad apples and the time always comes to throw them out before all is spoiled. Am I reading this right or is my mind still cloudy from New Years?.......lol just kidding, I was in bed by 9:30 PM. Once again I find that most news sources are trying to find anything that may cause embarrassment to anybody or anything Trump. Do ya think this will ever end or will the slander continue to haunt us.

I sure hope I can encourage myself to use my treadmill as well as the Bassett hound. Wow he sure has some kinda willpower. Of course I'll have to remove all the clothes hanging on it first which will be a workout in itself. Happy NYs and thanks for the funnies.

happy new year Umb. Looks like we may be into a good start. Spring is only 2 months away here in Tennessee. Always something to look forward to and give us fresh sight and breath. Gonna be a good year, hope yours is the same

Trump has indeed turned our economy around and I see this continuing with every day in office . My guess is that the majority of hard working people don't even give climate change a second thought as this is Gods business and not ours although we are to be good stewards to the earth. One of my main concerns right now is the lawlessness. With every democratic state man has been able to run wild with no respect for officials let alone the public. Yes, making a decent salary to raise ones family is by all means on top of the list but one must feel safe without fear of death because of race, creed or monetary wealth. If we can't overturn the house and replace the liberal dems, I have no reason to believe that our country will continue to grow into what really makes America great. Unless replaced, I can only surmise another 4 years of lies and deceit reaching for power from the Dems. They have no respect or want for the American people. Without a doubt, I believe that the Potus will be reelected, the message of great importance now is to get every Republican from every state in office. This includes mayors, governors and any office that has a say in how the state is run. Draining the swamp requires and depends on us. We are the ones that choose. Each state is responsible for their own welfare and growth. Trump is a given, the rest is a fight.

Ha, where is AOC and her bachelor of science degree when ya need her. Perhaps she studied better and harder than Kerry and can give us dumbbos some better made up " facts" of her choice. Lots to be said about those bachelor degrees, just depends in the degree that you studied. It would appear by all accounts that "we the people" only got stupidity degrees......I'm pretty proud of mine

Yep, I know the one......he did this to me as well along with others that disagree with him or call him out. But maybe these things are about to change as Umb just said. I can accept disagreements and even reprimand when due but not when the big dog thinks it ok for them and not the rest. It's that "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO" mentality.

I know this won't matter about my opinion but personally I see double standards here every day especially with one of the moderators. There have been threats of banning when the moderator has done exactly the same thing if not worse than the accused. Everyone here knows that he tries to use his name to aggravate and spur on certain people to agitate and then call them out and threaten because he thinks it's ok for him but not others. It's hard to play by the rules when one of the bosses thinks " he's intitled". Let's be honest here. If you want ALL to play by the rules, then the moderator should be the guide, not the one to lead others to their own bad behavior. Right or wrong, this is how I see it.
