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.

First day of Spring. Things are looking up. I am so thankful that I do not have to wake up every morning and see a President Clinton on the news. Was on the road too much and didn't have time to contribute to the conversation here. But did manage to lurk now and then.
Meg, hope you feel better after that fall you took. Susie, good link about Maddow...LOL, remember how the libs and dems were knashing their teeth, accusing Trump of not paying taxes? Hahahaha. Not only did he pay 25%, good ole Bernie the socialist paid less than 18% and Obama 15% or something like that. Do as I say, not as I do. What a big pile of stinking hypocrites!!!! Geri, what Tim Allen said is so true. More and more people, though, are getting a clue and turning away from their BS. There is nothing more excessive than Hollywood and its inhabitants. What really makes me laugh is when these "stars" do their anti-gun and anti-violence commercials....but then accept a role in a really violent movie with lots of killings and guns and violence. Two faced boobs.
Gary....about NutriSystem. I agree with Meg. If I was stuggling with my weight and did not have to worry about cooking for anyone else, I would give it a try. It seems like it takes all of the stress out of meal planning and shopping. I would guess the only things you would have to worry about buying at the store would be water and milk and coffee and such. they always seem to be running some kind of a special. And once you get control of your food cravings and all and start to drop some lbs., you can go back to what you learned with Weight Watchers. I've been on maintenance for a number of years, so I don't pay for meetings and e-tools. There was a big uproar when they changed to smart points, but it is based on a much healthier way of eating. Just remember the basics....lots of lean protein, less empty carbs, lots of vegetables and fruit (but not too much fruit), avoid prepared foods that come in a box.
I've not been watching as much news as I was right after the election. I've grown bored with "the next new scandal" and the left becoming more and more unhinged. I did see an article on either Daily Caller or Brietbart.....where, when asked by Jesse Watters what he thought about Elizabeth Warren running for president in 2020, Donald Trump said it would be like a dream come true. Hahaha. She is a definite spittle spewing angry liberal. People have had enough of that for sure.....so bring it on!

The American people are wising up for sure and are totally fed up with the liberal nonsense and are voting accordingly and spending accordingly when they buy entertainment. One by one Trump is keeping all his promises despite the best shots of the liberals. Once Neil Gorsuch is a Supreme Court justice Trump will get his temporary travel ban through the court system. Once he gets rid of all the Obama holdovers the leaks should stop and he can actually get stuff done without all the roadblocks thrown in front of him.

Good morning everyone,
Linda, your posts are always right on and I am glad to see you back. I listened to some of the hearing re Judge Gorsuch ( did I get that right) He was being interviewed by Senator Helms. I think he would make a terrific judge on the supreme court. I hate to see the Democrats give him a hard time.
Gary, Have you decided on whether you are going to try Nutri System? I really need to improve my eating habits.
Yesterday I had an appt. with the PT and she has given me some exercise to do each day to improve my balance. I think I will also be getting a walker. My arm is still bruised from my shoulder all the way to my wrist. It doesn't hurt much though I still have the swelling where I really banged it. Old age is not for sissies.
It is wet and windy here today. Have a great day.

Haven't coughed up the money yet. It is an expensive program but then I won't have to buy much at the store.
I had the first rug tacked down and the patio table and chairs moved back in today. Looks good.

My brother-in-law posts the most despicable things about Trump on Facebook. It's all I can do not to tell him so. In fact, most of what I read on Facebook I take with a grain of salt, even some of the "positive" news about Trump. If I don't hear it on Fox too I don't believe it.

Well, well, well. Looks like Trump was right with his claims about "wiretapping"....although that is really kind of an outdated term. "Surveilliance" and "eavesdropping" is more like it. I've watched a couple of news reports...I urge people to either turn on the TV or go on-line if you don't like watching or listening...Rep. Nunes, House Intelligence Committee Chairman has confirmed what Trump was alluding to. It is really quite a disgrace that the Obama administration was responsible for this. To get the "real" story, avoid CNN or MSNBC, because they are already trying to spin it, especially after weeks of them making fun of Trump and calling him all kinds of things. They are just as disgraceful as the former Obama administration. Really unbelievable.
Another terror attack in London. Guess who is behind it? People in France and England are finally coming to realize that their entire culture is going to disappear in a couple of decades.....these millions of immigrants have numerous children that in turn have numerous children.....and they will become the majority in these countries. And I don't really think they care much about French food and wine or the British Monarchy.
Gary, I just checked the prices for Nutrisystem, as I've been curious....seems like there is a commercial on every 15 minutes. It is rather pricey. You could do the WW plan on your own or use Sparkpeople (its free). I think you know what you need to do, but it is a lot of preparation of food and all that.
Meg, hope PT is working out okay for you. I think using a walker is a great idea...better than grabbing on to furniture as you move thru a room.
Have a nice night. Lin

Sorry....had to add this.....why on earth would anyone want to quote Dan Rather? ?? Proven liar, disgraced journalist, hahahahahahaha. Is that the best you can come up with? Good grief, catch a clue. Change the channel on the TV or better yet, find something better to do. Donald Trump IS YOUR PRESIDENT. Like it or not. 8 years we had to endure Obama and everything he stood for....we survived, in fact we came back stronger. Hopefully you all won't come back stronger, but please....take a deep breath, think about the things and people that are close to you and really matter, and think about what you are doing to keep your family and life together...and peace be with you.

Hi Linda, I have been listening to the news and not on the channels that support the liberals because they don't report the news only they think we should hear. If you want to know what is going on go to Fox. This news about eavesdropping and surveilliance is a very big deal and the liberal news can try all they want to ignore it but it is not going away. Heads will roll. They will have egg on their faces or worse all the people who made fun of President Trump and it turns out he was right all along. He didn't get where he is today by being stupid.
London and the UK have suffered much over the years dealing with terrorists. I lived in England 1954-1958 and 1967 to 1971. I didn't spend a lot of time in London but I have walked across that bridge where the attack took place today. The French and the British allowed so many people from other countries and they have watched their culture change. I hate to see the British Isles change. I probably wont be able to go back over there as it is a long way from here. It will be interesting to see how this turns out in coming days as they release more information.

Gary, you are just going to have to try and ignore that BIL of yours. Maybe he will shut up as this new information comes out about the Obama administration. Take care.

No my BIL will find some ultra left wing radical website which will make it look like Obama did Trump a favor and splatter that all over Facebook. I've learned to ignore him. He's much like Miss Kate from the other thread. Thank goodness I only have to see him a couple times a year at family gatherings and we avoid politics then. My late step-father, a conservative, used to call him a d*mned Democrat to his face and then they would laugh about it.

I have only listened to a little of Judge Gorsuch's responses at the hearings and I think he would be an excellent person to have on the SCOUS. However I heard that the democrats want to filibuster the hearings to try and break him. I am so sick of the democrats behaving in a partisan way. So they lost an election and they need to get over it. We all need to work together to make this a great country.

Well, I must say I am incredibly disappointed with the Republicans now. They totally let us down. Looks to me like the voters are going to have to speak again, unmistakably, in 2018 and get rid of the extremist Republican holdouts. I totally agree with Sean Hannity - they had 7 years of Obamacare to get their act together and they totally and completely failed us. If the Democrats weren't so incredibly worse I would consider switching parties.

I actually thought DT handled the after remarks quite well. I think it is a good thing that reps aren't marching in lock step. If the Dems had not marched in lock step we wouldn't have the albatros of BO care around our necks. I was concerned that the bill and I could understand what I read, would have just placed BO care on the reps back. Give it about a year or less for the 2017 parts of stink care to set in, I am hoping by then the Dems will be begging for some help. I think once a govt program kicks in there is no repealing it, it has to be fixed and possibly curtailed. It could have been repealed if BO had lost the election in 2012, but a bunch of stubborn folks sat home and let him win because it was all or nothing for them. I hope the republican voters don't make the same mistake in 2018 and 2020. The Dems loaded all the candy up front and the medicine at the last, so it could take hold before the folks realized they had been screwed. If DT can't get anything else done, he stopped the momentum of the Dems, and I do believe this loss will compell them to get the SC judge in place with the Reid Nuclear option if needed. Here is what I found that is due to kick in this year. www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2014/6/worse-to-come-for-obamacare-in-2017

I got a new "toy" - a SoClean sanitizing system for my CPAP. It's a bit pricy but should make my CPAP more healthy. When I wake up in the morning all I have to do is put my mask still attached to the hose into the unit. It turns on automatically at 10:00 AM. A couple hours later my mask and hose are sanitized. It is also attached to the water chamber so it is sanitized too. Ahhhh technology!
