Welcome hpeterson1951... Feel free to join us any time. I still keep Fox News on most of the time I am home for background noise - don't pay a whole lot of attention to it and I see it more as "entertainment" than news. They try to set up conflicts with their guests and it often turns into a shouting match which I find disgusting because you can't understand either of them. I just live my life the best I can - there is always plenty to do to keep my house clean and somewhat organized. You'd think after 10 or 11 years here I'd have it organized but I am taking a whole week off to try to get my office in order, get my taxes ready, etc. I have papers stacked everywhere which need to be filed or shredded.
I believe Trump has a lot more common sense than most of the media give him credit for. I believe he will turn this country around and in pretty short order. I think a lot of his twitter remarks are meant to distract the media and keep them busy chasing shadows while he gets the real work done.

I would bet 10 to 1 odds that the leakers of classified information to the media are Obama holdovers and I am also willing to bet they were told by Obama to do so.

Loved President Trump's news conference today! A statement he made I didn't catch the first time was something to the effect: "My conversation with Putin after my inauguration was classified so I am sure you all have it!" - speaking to the media. I had a good laugh about that but I believe he will ferret out the leakers and heads will roll.

glrogers67- I never thought about the Twitter comments being done on purpose so that the media would chase something while he could get something done.
I was just saying the other day how I think he could really make a difference, but I wish someone would take Twitter away from him. You've given me a different angle to look at it from.
We Know Obama would do that. He'd raise a stink about guns or something and then would pass a bill that no one would know about till it was too late. He was always distracting us with one hand so we didn't know what the other hand was doing. But he was doing it to the common people.
Maybe President Trump is giving it to the media to keep those Parias away so he can get the real work done. They are truly dangerous to this country.

Have any of you read about organizing for America - the official Obama site? The article I read said he had about 32,000 troops already & there will be a training camp in March. I wonder if civil evil will increase after the camp?
Trump & Pence will need all our prayers to help them in the future. It is hard to believe America is such a divided nation & such hatred abounds. I want America to be the wonderful nation it once was & I even prayed for Obama in that vein. The other side wants Trump to fail - do they not realize what that would mean for all America?
We do live in strange times don't we?

Why am I not surprised by this? :
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Thursday criticized President Trump for bashing reporters gathered at a lengthy Thursday press conference, calling on him to answer legitimate questions from news outlets.
"(Trump) keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we're some kind of fools for asking the question. Really?" Smith said. "Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we're fools for asking the questions?"
Trump was repeatedly asked by reporters from different publications about reported conversations between his campaign aides and Russian officials. Trump blasted such stories as "fake news" and berated journalists.
"Russia is fake news. Russia - this is fake news put out by the media," he said at one point. Trump maintained that he is not aware that any of his campaign aides had any improper communications with Russian officials.
"No sir," Smith continued. "We are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people. Your supporters will support you either way. If your people were on the phone, what were they saying? We have a right to know, we absolutely do and that you call us fake news and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people is inconsequential. The people deserve an answer to this question at very least."
Smith also defended CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who pressed Trump for answers on several points. Acosta and Trump have frequently sparred at past press conferences. Thursday Trump said he was upgrading CNN from "fake news" to "very fake news."
Smith defended Acosta during the segment Thursday, calling him "an accomplished reporter, a guy I've never met, but a good reporter."
Jim Acosta thanked Smith for his defense in a tweet shortly after the segment aired.

There is a video of President Trump walking with grandchildren to the helicopter pad. He makes a special stop in front of the Marine guard and returns the salute. That warmed my heart. The other man played basketball in the Oval Office. I bet President Bush got another grey hair when he saw that being done. He had the utmost respect for the White House.
Welcome new folks.

Hi Peg, I have heard different stories about Obama and his shadow government and nothing surprises me. We need to keep praying for President Trump and his administration. The celebrities and the left wing media are doing everything they can to get in the way of the progresses he is making. I have heard parts of the Presidents speech' this week and he is right to rally his supporters then we can hear what he is doing and his plans for the future. Of course the left wing media will distort what he says but and I can see how they lie. Celebrities think they are so wonderful and so impressed with themselves that they think they know better than th rest of us common folk. Their opinion does not count any more than mine or anyone else.
Gary, I very rarely tune in to Shepard Smith a lot of people don't like him. It doesn't surprise me that he would go on a rant.
Cat, I listened to part of President Trump's speech today and he really praised our police force and military he does give them the respect they are due. President Bush 1 & 2 both gave the military and the police respect. Our police force really suffered under Obama he just did not show them respect or support them which made their job much more difficult.
Judge Jeanne will be on Fox pretty soon and I like to watch her show.
Have a good evening everyone.

Peg....I did a little digging after reading your post. Good lord, that stuff is downright scary. Obama is NO LONGER president. Did anyone tell him that? From what I've read, he is going to be very instrumental in trying to bring down our government.....wow! I am not a big fan of "conspirathy" theories, but Obama and his Soros funded groups will do what they can to interfere with the new administration. Really makes me sick. Go away Obama and George Soros! Soros has destroyed so many countries....just go ahead and google George Soros....he is an evil, evil man. Europe HATES him. He is trying to bring his sick world views to the USA....he nearly succeeded, when Hillary almost won. Remember the hacked emails that talked about Soros and how everyone had to meet with him and make him happy?? Google that, too. It is all out there. Thank GOD we dodged that bullet....a Hillary Clinton that had to bow down to George Soros because he invested SO MUCH money into making her win. OOOOOhhhhh, but woweee, she did not win. Soros has GOT to be ready to blow a gasket. But look out, he is evil....he is willing to to anything to discredit Trump....and he sure is trying hard, but it is not working. I see the libs are all over The First Lady for reciting the Lords Prayer. "she was reading it....what kind of Christian is she". Well, I can excuse her for that. She does speak 5 languages...and speaks with a thick accent. I would guess that she read it so she would not make a mistake because if SHE DID....she would be raked over the coals. Didn't matter, she got raked over the coals anyway. How sad are these libs? They rewrite history, saying Obama was taken to task when he made mistakes....really? When? From the Cambridge thing, to Ft. Hood, to Benghazi, to the red line in Syria. One that I really remember: The Taliban is not our enemy. Another one I remember: Republicans are our enemy. The main stream media gave him a pass. Don't believe me? Look it up. And look how much taking in refugees is costing us. Our OWN CITIZENS are suffering...men and women that have risked their lives for our country are suffering...trying to keep their families and homes. Yet our taxes are spent on this: www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/02/19/refugees-will-cost-taxpayers-an-estimated-4-billion-in-fy-2017/I don't know about you, but I think our taxes should be spend on our OWN citizens first.

Hi everyone,
Lin, I will do some digging & Obama & Soros are scary indeed. I heard Soros say once he was like God, he did things & no one knew who did it. He was a Jew put with a gentile family for his protection who ended up helping round up Jews for the death camps. And you are right he has been kicked out of many countries & the USA needs to kick him out.
Meg, I am praying for Trump & we do all need to keep on. Obama is not letting go!!! The Libs aren't either & they just don't want to admit they have lost the election. We WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We tax payers are truly paying for all these refugees & it is breaking the back of Americans. I am so glad we have Trump as I don't know of anyone else who could stand up to the wicked left.

Lin, when Obama left the White house he moved a few blocks down the street and into a rented house. I already figured he was going to be a problem when he left office so I guess his new digs are where he will stay close to what is happening and what he can disrupt. I have read a lot of stories about how he was preparing for something and I don't trust him . All other previous Presidents have left office and not set up house a few blocks from the WH. I get e-mails every day from different groups who write about George Soros and the group behind Hillary Clinton and what the left is trying to do to this country. I am proud of our new First Lady for standing up and saying the Lords Prayer. If I had to do that I would want a copy in front of me just in case I was nervous and stumbled. I learned to say the Lords Prayer as a very young child and know it by heart but I would still feel more comfortable having a copy in front of me when faced with a very large audience. Saying the Lords Prayer is a great way to start any meeting. No matter what President Trump says or does the left wing media are going to distort it and blow it out of proportion. Of course there are Republicans like Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham who have made comments which are not very helpful in uniting the country and supportive of the President. Remember what we learned in Kindergarten " If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all"
Pray for President Trump , his family and his administration and this country.
With regard to tax money, they need to spend some money on the roads. Here in California we have big holes in the roads. When I am driving I have to watch out for all the pot holes and all the rain we have had has made it worse.

I was totally thrilled when our First Lady read the Lord's Prayer. However, any prayer would have been jumped on by the liberals. They hate anything spiritual because of their warped view of separation of church and state. Nowhere in the constitution does it say church and state should be totally separate. All it says is that government cannot establish a state religion or force anybody to attend a church of their choosing. And nowhere does it say that government officials cannot say public prayers. The liberal left is totally evil and we need to do all we can to counter the evil all around us.

hi peg we were posting at the same time.
I read that Senator Mc Cain said about President Trump. That is how dictatorships get started.
I know Senator Mc Cain is a military hero and he has served this country well and I honor that but there are times when he needs to shut up.
I understand that we have refugees here in Sacramento. My church is helping another church in that area. I will have to check into that. I don't know how many there are.
A few years ago my church sponsored a family of refugees from Cambodia. When they arrived they had nothing. But little by little they got on their feet and became self supporting. The children went to school and later graduated from College. The parents opened up a neighborhood grocery store. Sometimes they come back and visit us. and they were very grateful for all the help they were given. They were so different from the refugees we are bringing in now and they were not a threat to the country.
