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.

Hi Lidia. I am glad you are back. People need to keep posting. So I hope you come back and perhaps others will follow. I am off now to watch the California's election results.

Hi Ginny, it is good to see you back as well. I am glad you will have more time to relax during the summer. I am finding it difficult to follow all that is going on in D.C. at the moment or who to believe. So I tune into the news every day but I don't spend a lot of time doing that.
I have been listening to the news about Charles Krauthammer today. I had noticed that he was absent and wondered about him. He has had a wonderful life and was always honest and aboveboard and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife and family. We need more journalists like him.
Now we need to find Gary.

I really thought this thread was dead. I watched it off and on during May and never saw any posts and didn't see much point to talking to myself. Most of my social media conversations are on Facebook now. I don't see any point to arguing with people on the other side who will never see our point so I never go there.
It is so disheartening that those who hate Trump actually want to see him fail, even advocating a recession / depression to insure his defeat. I have never seen the divisiveness so bad in this country. Entertainers don't entertain any more. Football players don't play ball any more without inserting their unwanted political opinions into it. I have had fights with people on Facebook who are not only anti-Mormon but are actively trying to take the church down. The worst offenders are disgruntled former members of the church - they can't just leave the church, but they won't leave it alone. Why does everything have to turn into a constitutional crises? Things are discouraging but I totally believe Trump was placed in office by God to save this country from a real constitutional crises. I'm anxious to hear the results from the summit with North Korea where history is being made.

Gary, Satan tries very hard to tempt everyone he can away from any church and he's not happy with doing just that, he wants those same people to not only turned their back on the church but to disparage whichever church it is and to encourage others to leave the churches and turn their backs on God also.
I never was actually for Trump but thought he was far and away the better candidate. Now he's working his toes off trying to do a good job. I don't know how successful he will be at this meeting because the man he's dealing with is a lunatic dictator and I don't think we can believe anything he says. President Trump is trying though which is far more than we can say about the previous president

Meg, I had heard that Charles Krauthammer had had surgery and suffered sever complications which is not surprising considering he is a quadriplegic and is really at risk for complications from any surgery or illness but I didn't hear the latest news about him. I will go and look it up. I love seeing him on Fox News

Gary, so glad you have arrived. I do have a face book acc. but rarely go there. I do hope the talks with the N. Koreans go well because if they do we all win. However it seems that there are a lot of people who want to see the country fail. When we had the election we had 2 people who we could vote for. I was not 100% for either one but I do think I made the right choice.
Ruth, Charles Krauthammer has cancer and only has a short time to live. He wrote a very nice article and they read it on most of the Fox shows on Thursday or Friday. So those of us who listened to him and read his comments please keep him and his family in your prayers.
I have never been a big fan of comedians because I don't enjoy their jokes which I find are mostly to hurt someone. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. There are some good comedians who don't use the "F" word every time they take a breath. I find that a lot of the women comedians are worse than the men.
Anyway keep posting.

Meg, I don't know how we missed that because when we watch tv it's usually the Fox News channel. The others are all too biased for me. I looked it up online and saw the article where he states that he has only a few weeks to live according to his doctors. I didn't know he had cancer. All I knew was that he had had some kind of surgery. Seems so unfair that a man who's been completely paralyzed since early adulthood would end up with something like cancer too. Same with John McCain. Tortured in Viet Nam and now brain cancer.

In the news today Kathy Griffin, remember she was the comedian who thought it was a great joke to appear on stage with a decapitated head hanging by the hair from her hand soaked with blood ( probably red ink) representing President Trump. Her joke didn't go down too well as it looked really gruesome. Well now she is pouting with a long face saying President Trump did her in or something like that. She started the bizarre piece of comedy which people didn't think was funny. Maybe she needs to find a new line of work.
Have a good evening.

Hi Geri, I do think about you sometimes so I am glad you decided to pay us a visit.
We sort of fell by the wayside for awhile. I just didn't watch the news much. I have been watching the news this week and I can't believe that this country is in so much trouble and people in power are letting the country down by their actions. President Trump has done an amazing job for the short time he has been in office. It's sad that there are people in this country who cannot accept how the election process went and would rather see the country fail. I think it is wonderful that so many people have jobs now, people who were out of work for years. Why can't we all be thankful that so many people are working and stop complaining about everything the president does and thank him for what he has achieved.

Sometiimes I do not get to the news much either- its just too confusing and infuriating. I did finally watch the interview with Sean Hannitty and the president, Really the interview was short, but nice that after 25 hours without rest the President granted a short interview. He is not a perfect man, but is trying to do great things to make the world a safer place. NoKo scares me......and now it appears as though that threat is coming under control.
My Dh has agreed to visit our nations capital this summer- he wants to see the memorials. He refused to make that visit while Barack lived in the White house. Ginny

I kind of forget about this thread being here but glad to see some conversation. I guess the big story now is the separation of children from adults detained for crossing the border illegally. Children are separated from their parents all the time for committing crimes ( my daughter's ex is one of them ). So Trump was feeling the heat from the optics and signed an executive order to keep families together while they are being processed at the border, but the problem was caused by the democrats in congress and can be fixed by congress, but they'd rather see Trump fail than take care of the children. Typical liberal hypocrisy.
