This is a conservative thread to allow those with conservative views to express themselves. We welcome Republicans, Tea Party folks, and those who believe in the Constitution as written, not as interpreted by liberal judges. If you have liberal views we invite you to participate in a civil and respectful conversation. We would respectfully request that if you cannot post in a respectful and civil manner to refrain from doing so until you can. Good discussions are great - insulting arguments are not. We welcome discussions about our weight loss journey

Found a couple pairs of Wrangler no-iron pants in my size on clearance for $5 each so now I have a full complement of work pants in my new size.
I must say I am extremely disappointed in the Republican controlled congress. They have been promising for 7 years to repeal and replace Obamacare. I would not blame the voters for ousting the RINO-crats in 2018.

I agree Gary. What I fear though is that republican voters in a few areas will be so mad they will stay home and let the democrat win.
I all all for primarying them out, but I so hope in the general we do not let the Dems have power. Granted DT won't have to sign anything they put forth, but depending on that is risky business.

Hi Gary, congratulations on your weight loss and finding some smaller pants at $5 a pair. I bet you have a spring in your step now that you have lost weight, With regards to the Republicans they are a lost cause and the Democrats are not any better. So what do we do? our government is broken ...it is just not working for any of us regardless of what party you support. I just don't listen to any of it because it is the same old stiff over and over.
Have a food day.

Susie, with regard to DT I think he is a wheeler dealer and I think he would be willing to work with anyone who has a good idea that would work. He is not holding up progress and I am sure that he is very frustrated. with both Democrats and Republicans. Both parties need to get over their pettiness and work together for the good of the people in this country.

They do Meg. It just gets me that Dems are now screaming, the republicans aren't fixing BO care. My question to the Dems is why does BO care need fixing, you are the ones that dropped that big turd on us, now it is the republicans you are screaming at, while you sit on your hands and do nothing.
All I hope is the Dems don't get rewarded in either 18 or 20.

Found another pair of the Wranglers for $5 so now I have 3 of them plus some other size 40s I had tucked away in storage.
What I don't understand is with all the frenzy of investigating everything the Clintons are getting away with murder. Literally - murder. What about the ever increasing body count of those who go up against the Clintons ending up dead? Who's investigating that?
Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with a very aggressive brain tumor - the same kind that killed one of the Kennedy's. While I appreciate the statesman he has been, here lately he's become a RINO.

at the moment I am trying to avoid the political news. I rarely listen to the TV and for a little while I will give myself a break from it all. I have to have faith that it will all turn out for the best in the long run.

I am trying to take a bit of a break too Meg. I do read some highlights. But, I am tending to assume they are false until at least a week has passed. Then if they are still talking about it, there might be something to it.
I can't give up my Greg Gutfeld though. I just think he is funny, whether I agree with him or not.

Gutfeld does provide comic relief. I still keep Fox News on most of the time, mostly for background noise, but I trust them more than any of the others. It is frustrating to see "news" stories on the internet but never sure if they are truth or baloney. Do you think things will change much under the new communications director Anthony Scaramucci?
Down another 1.5 pounds this week, somewhat of a disappointment, but a loss is a loss. I've been experimenting a bit with the flex meals but I have ham and beans which aren't exactly low fat. However, today I replaced all the size 44 pants in my closet with the size 40s I had in storage and got on sale at Walmart this week. I'm about halfway there. Hopefully I'll be down another 4 pant sizes by November but my weight loss has slowed down a bit.
