    I'm stupid. The article is all over the news section. Didn't sleep well. The tornado that hit Elk City last night kept me up watching for it. Gonna be a long day. I feel bad for those people. We had one hit my street last year. Nobody got killed and they got new houses! 

    Ever heard about the 1978 tornado outbreak, the day of the killer tornados. Lived near there at the time. 

  2. The video starts after the reason he said this to graduates of the coast guard. Trump was using this as an example to the graduating class to never give up and keep fighting.  Its called being a leader through inspiration to motivate the graduates. More fake news to pander to the snowflakes. Some of us heard the whole speech. Not just the cuts to play to partisan bias.

    BA - maybe something to be proud of, not as good a liar?

     

    Theseus - my point simply was that over 50% licked his boots and he managed to get 4 more years. My question to those that voted for O the 2nd set was what did you like so much about his first 4 and his "change" that ya wanted him for 4 more...............O was never my president yet I still called him President O and not Mr. Obama like so many of the sad media are wont to do with Trump - if I hear that one heifer on CBS call him Mr. Trump one more time I'm going to write her a nasty gram. She's a witch and kick starts her broom when she gets to reporting from WADC.

    First, I considered 0bummer as the POSOTUS. Still president. Second, didn't you hear you can't critique the "stellar" anchors and reporters (because the lady spins head and vomits pea soup when you do).

    Gee not even 6 months and ready to jump ship. The rest of us gave O eight years.

    The rest of who? Plenty of people jumped at the four year mark. Otherwise he would have had numbers like he did the first time he was elected. He didn't and before 8 years was up I know of at 50 to 60 people personally say they couldnt wait until he was gone. Before eight does not equate to waiting 8 years considering he could no longer run. Here is another item at reelection time for bummer they were talking 3rd term. By the 6th year, no more talk of four more.

  5. First off a president can divulge classified information to the nirubians if he wants. The moment it leaves his lips to other than those who have clearance for it, it becomes declassiffied and the president is the only one with sole authority to declassify informatio previously classified. This is a non story trying to drum up dollars by the WaPo.

  7. Merkel needs to remove her head from her warm and cozy robust derriere so she can finally see the light. Her mistake of allowing untold numbers of refugees into her country has caused the people of Germany unbearable misery, rape, and death. Nations made up of people will act like people. As long as they can reap the rewards and have to pay none of the dues they are happy. When the reaper finally comes to collect, where then will they be? Cowering like the people they truly are. NATO is and always be a precursor to the EU, socialist marxist imbeciles believing they world owes them their fair share all the while being the greedy fascists in which they return nothing in their cozy make-believe worlds in which they will dictate to you how you will live, eat, breathe and even poop.

     

    That reminds me of a funny story. At the time of their so-called prophet, when he would squat to release that which was in his bowels, he cleaned himself with three rocks. Whenever a muslim enters a toilet facility they must do so with their left leg. Never shake the left hand of a muslim (and some asians and Indians, from India) for sanitary reasons. That last statement is not racist at all, its good common sense if you know the culture.

    Yup.  I live in ole Mexico right now.  11 years and counting.  A loaf of bread in my city is around 40 pesos or a little less.

     

    However since Nutter Butters are imported they are 140 pesos....Which is about 7 frickin dollars for a package of nutter butters!

     

    AHHHHHHHHHHH!

     

    I need the RV so I can buy some.

    Nutter Butters in the states are 3.50 and up and that is expensive for the amount in the package. I get one every once and while and my dog gets some too! I hide em from the old lady of the house.

    The start of the parliamentary session under the chairmanship of Hamoudi
    [Oan- Baghdad] 
    House of Representatives held its regular meeting on Tuesday under the chairmanship of the Presidency of the Council member Hamoudi and the presence of 176 deputies.
    And it was included in the agenda of today 's session to complete voting on the draft reform of inmates and depositors law, and vote on the proposed operation of the graduates the top law and the recommendations of the Education Committee regarding the school buildings. " It 
    also includes directing" a verbal question to the President of the Federal Office of Financial Supervision, the MP Mishan al - Jubouri, view report and discussion of the draft grants the employee a long vacation routine and address the conditions of contractors law, and a report and discussion of the draft foreigners set up the law, and a report and discussion of the proposed delegation of authority law. " 
    It is said that House Speaker Salim al - Jubouri, currently on a visit at the head of a parliamentary Romanian capital Bukha delegation Docked at the official invitation during which he met with senior leaders and officials in the country.

    Could care less about all the laws in this session except the "depositors law".

     

    This is the law that in 2016 they set up draft legislation to guarantee the bank deposits. This is the most important one I have seen in a while come out of this governmental body. Guarantee the deposits, people are more willing to put money into the banks. 

     

    Go ahead and keep quibbling over the vacation stuff. As long as the depositors law gets passed all is good. And how did you guys miss the boat on this one. People have been yammering for this law for awhile now.
