Gary, congrats on being a great grandpa. Don't worry about how she will be treated. Being bi-racial is not so out of the ordinary any more. A US President of 8 years was bi-racial, although he nor the media rarely mentioned he was white, only black. Strange, right? The key to a happy, well adjusted child is to spend a lot of time nurturing, loving and teaching him or her. Although....I've seen some really great parents that have a kid that just drives them nuts. Parenting is the toughest job of all.
And congrats on your continuing weight loss. I'm sure you will do just fine once your nutrisystem thing is over. You know the basics of WW.
Geric, you are too funny. So true, so much wasted money on both sides, although I did hear that the dems outspent 7 to 1. What a waste of money, could have been spent on the things you listed. I saw some guy's twitter on the Daily Caller...he had a 40 twitter rant about how annoying it was to live in the district and get dozens of robocalls a day, flyers everywhere, people knocking at the door, nasty commercials.
Here are the best parts:
"Once again, Trump isn’t popular in this district. But you know what’s a lot less popular? Riots. Morons in black masks with clubs. Kids who’ve never thought about paying a mortgage…Telling you you’re a terrible person because you wouldn’t vote for a corrupt old liar in a pantsuit. When all they really succeeded in doing was pissing off the people they needed to get votes from. Bad strategy, bad politics."
And I say "keep it coming, keep doing what you're doing, you'll never regain power". Rahm Emmanual said that the dems are 1,000 seats behind. Love it. They Just...Don't....Get....It.
Meg...I just read something about your gov.......he is the highest paid in the nation.

It was very upsetting to hear of the death of Otto. I tried to be optimistic...really thought maybe he was "playing sick".....I'm glad his parents were able to spend those few days with him. North Korea murdered him....plain and simple. I do feel terrible for the people there....they really don't have any communication with the outside world. But these prison guards.....they must all be sadists to take such pleasure in torturing people and starving them and doing all kinds of terrible things to them. But it is a matter of survival there too....if they don't partake, then they can be "next". What an awful way to live. So tell me, why are all these libs carrying on like a bunch of babies because they don't like our President? Get a grip! Too bad you don't like it.....we had 8 years of Obama and 8 years of the liberal media fawning all over him like he was a god. Disgraceful.....very similar to how the leader of North Korea is worshipped. God forbid you say something against Obama....you are immediately branded a racist. No....you were not allowed to just not like his agenda and policies and the people he hung around with...(Ayers)...no, you must be a racist if you don't like him. I am SO GLAD Hillary lost. It would have been 4 more years of softball questions.
BTW....I just love Sean Spicer and the way he beats down the press. He is absolutely right.....the daily press briefings are nothing but drama.
Good night.
Lin

I have been out of action most of today as I had injections in my eyes. I have these injections every few weeks because I have macular degeneration.
I listened to most of what President had to say when he spoke in Iowa this evening. I think I heard him mention a wall pf solar panels. That is an interesting thought.
Geri & Lin, you do liven up the discussion, Keep posting. |

Linda, just a thought. Instead of referring to Obama as our 1st black president perhaps we should refer to him as our 1st bi racial president to be politically correct.

How about referring to him as our first radical Muslim president... He did everything he could to destroy this country.

Hi Geri, I just noticed that as I checked the news stories, I wonder how that will turn out.

Meg I had that series of shots a few years ago. It cleared up the problem and my eyes returned to normal.
He did say I might have problems again and told me what to watch for. I am so careful with my eyes. I go to my eye dr once every six months. I also have Cogan's Dystrophy and I use drops each day for that.
Hope yours get better.

Hi Susie. I have been having the injections for about 3 years now. I have a cataract in my left eye which they were going to remove in August but after seeing the Dr a few days ago they are going to do the surgery sooner. I will see the surgeon next Friday and then I should have a surgery date.
I am glad that the injections helped you. I don't have the injections as often as I used to. |

Hello all. A friend of mine's doctor told him to use the bauch and laumb (?) eye vitamins for their degeneration...it really seemed to help arrest the problem for a while. I give you credit for enduring those needle treatments.
Seems like things are going okay....a NJ community college fired a professor after her appearance on Tuckers show last week....wow, my goodness, what a complete racist this person is. The people that pay taxes for this college came out in DROVES, along with the alum. How long was this person allowed to spew her hate day in and day out? No student would dare to complain...lest they fail the class, am I right?
And an even sadder story...
The University of Delaware has sacked Katherine Dettwyler, the taxpayer-funded professor who declared that Otto Warmbier was a “spoiled,” “white, rich, clueless” American college student who “got exactly what he deserved” when he recently ended up comatose and then died at the age of 22 after serving part of a lengthy prison sentence in North Korea.
“The University of Delaware has announced that Katherine Dettwyler, who last taught in the spring as an adjunct faculty member, will not be rehired to teach at the University in the future,” school officials said in a statement sent to The Daily Caller on Sunday.
Dettwyler made her comments on Wednesday on Facebook and in the comments section of a National Review article. At some point on Friday, she later removed or otherwise concealed the comments.
“Is it wrong of me to think that Otto Warmbier got exactly what he deserved?” the no-longer-employed professor wondered on Facebook. “He went to North Korea, for fuck’s sake, and then acted like a spoiled, naive, arrogant, US college student who had never had to face the consequences of his actions.”
The 62-year-old anthropology professor — an expert on breastfeeding (according to a now-deleted curriculum vitae) — was even more critical of Warmbier in her National Review comments.
“Otto is typical of the mindset of a lot of the young, white, rich, clueles [sic] males who come into my classes,” Dettwyler wrote. “These are the same kids who cry about their grades, because they didn’t think they’d really have to read and study the material to get a good grade. They simple deserve a good grade for being who they are. Or instead of crying, they bluster and threaten their female professors.”
Dettwyler blamed Warmbier’s parents for allowing their son to grow up “thinking he could get away with whatever he wanted.”
She also wrote that “young, white, rich, clueless white males routinely get away with raping women” in the United States. Warmbier’s bad behavior — allegedly stealing a sign — reminds Dettyler of male students who “think nothing of raping drunk girls at frat parties and snorting cocaine, cheating on exams, and threatening professors with physical violence,” she said, according to Campus Reform.
**********
How strange that she does not address the obvious....situations.....here in America....in our inner cities. She is an angry person for sure....not my fault, maybe she should look into her own family stuff?

And oh my goodness, this just in. Bernie is not the nice guy after all. LOL...this just keeps getting better and better.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and his wife have hired defense attorneys amid an FBI probe into a loan the senator’s wife procured for Burlington College while she was school president, according to news reports.
Sanders, a Vermont Independent, and wife Jane hired a legal team in connection to a 2010 loan application Jane Sanders purportedly filed so the school could borrow $10 million to purchase 33 acres of land, as reported first by Politico.
The hiring of the attorneys was confirmed to CBS News by Jeff Weaver, the campaign manager for Sanders in his bid to win the Democratic Party nomination in the 2016 presidential race.
Jane Sanders purportedly distorted school donor levels in the loan application she filed to People’s United Bank, according to the January 2016 complaint. The liberal arts college closed that same year.
********************
Okay, so I am not a rocket scientist or anything...but it seems to me that Bernie's wife more or less drove Burlington College to demise? Am I reading this entire story wrong? I read other stories and comments regarding this....Burlington College alum and others have lots to say.
I will say it again....SO GLAD no HILLARY. GO TRUMP. Let's Make America Great Again!

Johnny Depp joining the ranks with Kathy Griffin and Madonna with talk about harming the President and family. Sorry Geric....did not see that you posted this about the Sanders!!!! Unbelievable, right?  ? I don't make a habit of reading what the bizzarro world posts any more....I really do feel sorry them sometimes....have they come out of their hysteria yet? Probably not, and they most likely have not brought their heads up out of their funk yet to see what exactly is going on with the Dem Party and their lies and their coverups.....because, after all, it must all some how be TRUMP's fault, right? Wow, I sure do feel sorry for those people....it is not a good thing to be consumed by hate and fear and unfounded nonsense day in and day out. Hard to believe the weekend is over and back to the grind....sorry I don't have time to hang with you all. Lin |
