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

I wish you all a Happy New Year. I stayed home and welcomed the New Year with my family. Of course at my age staying home works just fine for me. I don't understands how the folk in New York could stand outside in the cold for hours in the bitter cold weather for hours.
I hope you all brought the New Year in where it was warm and cozy. Today we are all being lazy around my house. Now I will wish you all a good evening and I hope we will have some interesting discussions this year.
What is your wish for this year? My wish is that the Democrats and the Republicans would work together for the good of the country and stop fighting with each other, |

My wish is for the Justice dept. to get off their collective butts and bring justice to the Clintons and all the corrupt people in the Obama administration. I also wish for the polls to be as wrong as they were in the election and we will strengthen our control of both the House and Senate so we can finally get something done.
I didn't make it to midnight last night. I have my annual winter cold, probably caught it from my grandkids over Christmas but well worth it to meet and bless my great granddaughter. She is such a sweetheart and i totally enjoyed being with her and the other grandkids. Kids these days think nothing of having casual sex with anyone. We needed the father's name for the blessing record and my granddaughter didn't even know his legal name - she knew him by a nickname, so that is the name we had to use on the blessing record. Of course he denies paternity and responsibility.

Hi Gary, I was sleepy when I started the thread and I see I made several mistakes. I will go to bed early tonight. Your wishes were very good and I do agree that the Justice dept. needs to get busy and finish up some of the investigations they have been working on for years. How many years and how much money have they spent investigating the Clintons?
I am glad you enjoyed the Blessing for your little great granddaughter and that you enjoyed having your family visit. She is probably better off without her father. I am sure you and other members of your family will provide a good support group for her. So many grand parents and great grand parents helping to raise children these days.

Can't say for sure, but I just took a look at my first paystub for 2018 and it is close to $100 more net pay than the last one in December. Yea Trump!

Gary, I hope you continue to get more money each pay check. I expect to see more new businesses this coming year. Of course we are still stuck with Gov. Gerry Brown here in Ca.

Just found out my Walmart bonus will be $750 to be paid out March 8! "Crumbs" according to Nancy Pelosi. It is based upon years of service. Those with over 20 years service will get the $1000 bonus. I have 18 years.

Hi Gary, Most working people will be happy to receive the crumbs that Nancy Pelosi turns up her nose at. I hope you enjoy yours and don't spend it all in the one shop. I made one of my rare visits to FB this afternoon and I can see you have lost a lot of weight. Are you still following the Nutrii System plan? |

Obama keeps saying those who watch Fox News are on a different planet. What I want to know is why he keeps showing up on OUR planet? Go back to whatever "******" planet you came from.
On a happier note, well I am sorta kinda still following Nutrisystem. I still get an order from them every month but more or less fell off the wagon over the holidays. I really need to climb back on. One of the problems is their online calorie tracker no longer works on my tablet so I downloaded it to my phone but it is pain to use there. It is good on my desktop but I don't feel like dragging all the packages into the office to track them.
Looks like it is just you and me here for the most part Meg. Shall we continue?

Hi Gary, did you watch the news media today when they asked questions about President Trump's medical. They couldn't believe that he got an excellent medical report. They kept asking stupid questions like did he wear a denture. Of course I have been amazed in the past when they have repeatedly asked the same questions over and over so today was not new. I don't think any President's annual medical report has ever been analyzed in such depth as President Trumps was today. The news media didn't learn anything and they looked very stupid. I doubt that any of them has any medical training and they are not qualified to make statements about any ones medical fitness.
I thought I saw Nutrisystem at Walmart. I hope you keep the weight off you are looking very trim. I think that probably would be better on another board. There is not much activity on this one. But I don't know what the answer is. Lets finish this month out and see what happens. |

Yes, I saw the stupid media tripping all over themselves trying to trip up Trump's medical report but the doctor held his ground very well,. I was more interested in the announcement / press conference today with the new prophet, Elder Russell M. Nelson, and his councilors Elder Dallan Oaks and Henry Eyring, the new First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. As you may have heard our prophet Thomas S. Monson passed away Jan. 2 necessitating reorganization of the First Presidency.
Yes, Walmart sells Nutrisystem products in the pharmacy area in our store. I sometimes buy supplemental snacks there.
Don't know why we aren't attracting more conservatives here. Maybe they don't want to be beat up by the occasional sniper here. There are a number of conservative forums on facebook I occasionally comment on. Liberals try to infiltrate there too and get beat down pretty quickly. If the heat gets too intense I simply back away. I experience the same thing on some of the so-called Christian threads there too. They are quite closed minded to alternative ideas so I occasionally will throw a thought out there just to see them rant. I'll continue to check back here.

I don't post on any political threads anyplace. It's useless and sometimes more fun to watch others make fools of themselves on their threads. I've seen some people so obsessed with hatred and venom, I don't understand how they can live fulfilling lives or be happy. I wonder why they don't put that wasted energy doing something positive, like volunteering for good.
I think this thread has seen its day. I see most conservatives and non liberals finding positive in their lives and use the positive in good ways instead of bashing others and spreading nastiness. Good luck, folks.

The Schumer shutdown continues and I am confident the Democrats will pay for it and all the obstructionism in the November midterms. I tend to agree our thread has had its day. Our position as conservatives certainly will not change and neither will the liberals. I think it is easier to complain than to find the good in the world. That is the tagline of the BYU TV network - "see the good in the world". Even on LDS threads I occasionally see someone with nothing good to say. I'll continue to check back here with the hope there may be like minded conservatives lurking. In the meantime I am watching the miracle of the Trump presidency unfold. During the Obama presidency the Walmart stock quote never got over $60 - yesterday it was $104! My bi-weekly Walmart paystubs now show about $100 per check more net pay than last year thanks to the Trump tax cut. My SS deposit is also bigger this year. Life is good.

Hi Gary, I think a lot of us are in a holding pattern waiting to see what happens. It is exciting to watch all the changes that are happening. During the Obama administration I watched businesses close and they stayed closed for years. So I am looking forward to those premises opening again as something else. We have a Sam's Club and a Walmart closing .but one of them is moving into another area which is close to the free way and one of the main Post Offices and I have heard that it will be an e-mail store. That area would be a good location for shipping and receiving shipments. The location that they are leaving has been bought so we will have to wait and see what is done with that lot. It is a very large lot in a prime area. BTW I did see some Nutrisystem products at Walmart but I haven't tried any of them.
The Democrats have nothing to offer and they are probably running scared. Shutting down government does not make them look good. It is wrong to withhold pay from our military. My DH spent 20 years in the military and I know that those in the lower ranks have a difficult time making it pay day to pay day and a lot of them are married with small children.
Geri, I only post here and try not to be nasty because it doesn't help anyone. But I am glad to see you here any time you drop in. I actually have not been on the computer very much recently.
I hoper I didn't make too many mistakes today. I had a cataract removed almost 3 weeks ago and my eye has been healing and I will see about new glasses early this week. |

Hard to believe Trump has offered a path to citizenship for 3 times the number of illegal aliens as Obama wanted in exchange for reasonable immigration reform including funding a wall system along the southern border and still the democrats are whining.
In the meantime I finally got my lump sum payout of my Dial retirement, about 3 times my annual income from Walmart. I don't need my job. I have a portfolio that will pay me a good income in addition to SS. I am only working to keep my medical insurance until Trump puts a better plan in place and until my SS is maximized at age 71 - I will be 69 this year. I am greatly blessed and Trump is only making it better. Just finished a series of injections in my knees that hopefully will help them regrow the cartilage arthritis destroyed. My knees aren't 100% but they are better. My insurance won't pay for treatments for my neuropathy but I got an infrared foot massager from Walmart which is helping somewhat. Their infrared is a lot more powerful than the unit I have but it would have cost me $3100 out of pocket. Once I have Medicare part B it will pay for the infrared treatments so I guess I can wait - although I could afford it with my Dial retirement money.
