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 Meg, thanks for the start up.
Groovy Gran....that entire "Beer Summit" was such a joke. "I don't know the details, but the Cambridge Police acted stupidly". Way to go Obama!!!! Seems like you did that for 8 looonnnggg years. Seems his entire administration did not know the details about anything but spewed their nonsense on the news shows anyway. So so soooo glad they are out of here and their insane thinking and stupid stuff is now out there for all to see.....but then again the libs will NEVER EVER see anything they did wrong. So sad, too bad.
Life and work is getting in the way of everything and I will not have time to stop in and post very much, but wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate you all being here and on the defunct WW boards and all of that. Lin

Lin, I love your lively posts you keep us motivated. Don't work too hard take a wee break and visit us. The Obama's crew really left a mess and a lot of their underhand actions are now coming to light. It wasn't just crooked Hillary they were all crooked.
I am so happy the Judge Gorsuch is now a member of the Supreme Court. There is hope for us yet.
Lin, take care and don't work too hard.

I can hardly wait for the Supreme Court to take up Trump's temporary travel ban and put the 9th circuit in their place. There are liberal judges all over the country appointed by Obama under Harry Reid's nuclear option who take the law into their own hands and legislate from the bench. The appointment of Justice Gorsuch will go a long way toward righting the ship and he may have the opportunity to appoint 2 or 3 more conservative justices. I can't wait!

Yep, I am waiting for the Travel Ban issue to be upheld. Other things may be more difficult, but this should be a easy case. It should have been ruled properly in the lower courts.

I must say Trump is moving so fast and in so many directions it's hard to keep up. Then we have the fake news epidemic which makes it really hard to know what to believe. I tend to believe Fox News more than any other source, but even they run with stories that turn out not to be true. I saw a thing in Facebook about Trump bombing North Korea today but it turns out the US has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan. I'm not sure what they hoped to accomplish with it. Of course the other side finds nothing good in what Trump is doing. It seems to me we had more to talk about here when the liberals were in power. Now it's all I can do to keep up with the news and try to sort out what is true and what is not.

If it was part of an ongoing military action, we will need to wait and see why and what was accomplished. I notice some libs going bat crap crazy, when bombs were being dropped under BO constantly. The president likely didn't even have to sign off on this if it was under the leadership of a military mission.
Sometimes I don't think a lot of folks understand what horror and decisions have to be made on a daily basis for the military in order for them to sit around on their padded rumps and armchair quarterback it.
I will only assume this was a decision made to try to maim ISIS. Until I hear otherwise.

I listened to the news tonight and feel hopeful that we are moving in the right direction. For the past 8 years we have sat on the fence and apologized to countries that hate us and have no respect for us. I see that changing. We need to pray for our President because he does have a lot of big decisions to make every day.

What a love most about Trump is that he is driving the left-wing pacifists nuts. He is decisive and has authorized the military to do their job and he is more successful in his first 100 days than Obama was in 8 years. Go Trump!

Wow, guess the SS gravy train is over. I didn't realize the IRS charges taxes on SS income so now I owe $2400 in Federal taxes. Hope Trump gets on that tax reform going soon!

I vaguely remember when they started taxing SS probably when I first started receiving SS. I thought at the time it was silly to give us government payments and then they take some of it back. Everything is changing so fast now and my poor brain is slowing down.

The good news is that Arizona doesn't tax SS payments, but the Feds do; in fact I get a refund from the State. It will be a bit tight this next month until I get the May SS deposit. I need to see if I can have them take the appropriate amount of tax out before they send it to me. I could make estimated tax payments or have the appropriate amount taken from my Walmart pay, but the best way is to have it taken from the SS payments so I don't have to worry about it after I retire.
I watch the liberals having a cow about Trump taking appropriate military action. Guess they want us to roll over and play dead while terrorists come in and take over. I don't think the liberals would be happy even if Trump totally reversed course and became like Obama. They just totally hate our President.

Hello, Meg & all,
I sent my Fed taxes in at eleven and got them approved at two. I thought it would take until Monday.
I appreciate President Trump strong salute as he comes off the plane and he looks at the person. Maybe that is silly but the military had no respect for a long time. I think we have to get use to him and he is finding out about doing business in DC. Not the same as a Corporate Boardroom. He is a fast learner.
Going to bed. Stay safe.

All I can say is Trump is getting more concessions from China than any politician by showing China how they can benefit with a better trade deal in exchange for cooperation with regard to North Korea. Appealing to their sense of humanity never worked because they don't have the same moral values we do, but they do respond to business negotiations which Trump is good at.

I just happened to peruse a couple of threads today and had to really laugh. All I could think of was Chicken Little and the crew, Turkey Lurkey, Henny Penny, Foxy Loxy the rest. The sky is falling!!! Some people need a life.
