Big day, yesterday,

as we welcomed Trenton Lee Royer to the world. Trent is my first, and probably last grandson. But, I never thought he'd be here, either, after Ted and Kari had unsuccessfully tried to become parents for over five years. Yahoo, Trent, or Tre (Tray) is a very healthy, good looking boy who is the exact size as his mommy was at birth. 7lb, 8 oz and 21 ". Very aware and good natured for a new born. Mother and son are doing great, after TD (tax deduction) decided to arrive 4 days before his scheduled Jan 2 C-section. The worst part? Kidnapping Bella, (kitty) who didn't realize WHY we were stealing her and she definitely didn't want to leave her home. Have never heard sounds like that.... Am looking forward to watching Tre grow, and doing the grandpa/grandson things I never had the chance at, cuz I never knew either grandfather. Bottom line, the kid hit the lottery, being born into a loving family that will provide him all the chances for success and a good life. Cheers.

If you are of a certain age, you remember when we had only three channels on TV,

where we got all our news.Then we got CNN, Reuters, BBC and finally FOX, thanks to Roger Ailes, Repub Political Strategist, who convinced the low IQ minions that ALL the other news was 'fake', and ONLY FOX tells the truth. Sounds like a JOKE, right? Yup, it is,.....BUT, the sheep swallow it. If I gotta explain, you wouldn't understand, just like you don't understand how the real world works, swallowing Hannity's bullshit..... As I watched a LONG list of  'People Who Died' this last year, I felt bad for SO many, until I saw Roger Ailes, and I CHEERED. What an asshole, that hurt our country SO much, as he herded the ignorant minions, to deny reality and vote REPUBLICAN, no matter what, cuz, you know, God and patriotism..... I'd love to visit his grave, after drinking a BUNCH of beer.....

As per Trump/Russia collusion,

more Americans BELIEVE it happened, than not. BUT, the Liar in Chief says, 'It never happened', SOOOO, I guess it didn't, cuz Dotard NEVER lies..... RIGHT?

There are SO many reasons I can't stand FOXLies,

the Propaganda Arm of the Repub Party, and several of them were listed today under 'The Most Delusional FOX News Hosts', along with a quote that helped them make the list. Too good not to share. and remember, the sheep get their 'news' from these jackasses. Nicole Weaver MORE  ARTICLES December 29, 2017 Fox News has a  big network of hosts , correspondents, and contributors. Many feel free to say whatever comes to mind whether it makes sense or not. They cover everything from climate change to sexual assault. So it’s particularly painful when they get the facts wrong. But what are the craziest things they’ve said? Here are the 18 most delusional Fox News hosts and exactly what they said to earn this title, like Megan Kelly---- 'Remember kids, Santa Claus is White, and so is Jesus'. Check it out here, it's hilarious, esp as you get to the Top Eight or so. OMG! This is 'NEWS'? https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/most-delusi

When the Liar in Chief was campaigning, he promised 'Only the Best'

people for his cabinet and administration, and the gullible sheep believed him, (and hoped so), cuz he had ZERO experience. NOW, about a year in he has had BY FAR the largest turnover, (some quitting, most forced out), of any first year prez, and it's not slowing down, as our prez has surrounded himself with incompetence, to match his own. White House officials, led by chief of staff John Kelly, are reportedly plotting a staff shakeup in the new year, as President  Donald Trump  and his administration continue to weather scandals and defeats, and prepare for what could be tumultuous midterm elections in 2018. Bottom line, who's surprised, other than his clueless minions?

Sorry, but I couldn't resist...

Drawing Trump

I wonder who votes in the FOX polls?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating,  @ foxandfriends  just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax! This may be true in Sheepville,where the FOX polls gave Obama an unrealistic LOW rating and the Liar in Chief a 'fake news' HIGH rating, but the 'real' polls had Obama well over 50% and the Orange Clown around 32%. Welcome to the wonderful world of Bullshit Mountain, where the clowns report exactly what the Dotard wants to hear, and even there Drumpf can't break 50%.

Interesting article in the Denver Post this morning,

but nothing new. It's a great place to live, BUT, too many people are finding out. The Mile High City is the top city to be a homeowner and sell a house. We live in the least-obese state in America. And we’re the No. 2 metro area for beer drinkers, thanks to Coors, 70-plus craft breweries and the Great American Beer Festival. Denver also received a shout out this year from one of the best of the best lists: U.S. News & World Report named Denver the second-best place to live in the country, and near the top for retirement. The big question for today? Shorts or long pants for golf?

As we see the effect of Trump's tax law, (and hear the FOX explanation),

Image
it's a brazen attack on High Value property, where the owners are no longer able to deduct state/local taxes from their Federal tax bill, when over $10K. SURPRISE, the High Value tax properties are located, (nearly exclusively) in Blue states , where the educated/high earners live. The low education/low income base of the Pub party, Red states, won't be effected. SURPRISE, the Pub base lives where high earners don't wanna live. (Think AL, MS, LA, and the entire Bible Belt). Property values don't lie. Bottom line, nothing new here. The Pubs love to think they are the 'chosen ones'. Property values show just the opposite. Can you say 'Education/intelligence/income=Democrat? Check it out. Google it any way you can think of. Those who have CHOICES, choose Blue states, while the Pubs are STUCK in Red states. Not 100%, but close to it.... When in doubt ALWAYS 'Follow the Money', and the money goes to Blue States. Coincidence? I don't thin

During the campaign, The Orange Clown bitched about Obama's golfing SO much,

This week promised to get back to work, 'immediately', SO the Pubs didn't want the media to see him golfing AGAIN TODAY. (4th time?) SO, they parked a big, white box truck right in the view line from the assembled media's ONLY 'viewing location' at Mar-a-Lago. Presto! Problem solved. No pics today of the Liar in Chief teeing off, AGAIN. Can you say Hypocrites? Box Truck Blocks Media’s View Of Trump Getting ‘Back To Work’ (a.k.a. Playing Golf) The Secret Service reportedly denies the vehicle’s  placement was intentional.

If there were any doubt what the Rightwingnuts believe,

one of their main spokesmen, Billy Graham's son, Franklin, made clear the teachings of the Evangelicals, who are the MAIN reason, (one and the same with the FOXheep) that we have the vile, vain, arrogant, unqualified, Liar in Chief in the White House, who courted the Bible Belt Base of the Repub party, cuz THEY VOTE. Not wisely, but their preachers 'get them out'. Yup, these brainiacs believe in a LITERAL Hell, where their loving God sends 'sinners', (Democrats, Liberals and all those who aren't 'Christians like them', which includes the vast majority of the world) to an eternity of burning in the Lake of Fire. And you wonder why I have a hard time dealing with those whackjobs? The Rev. Franklin Graham had a message for Rosie O'Donnell Thursday morning following her Christmas Day tweet telling House Speaker Paul Ryan to "go to hell" — nobody needs to go there. "First of all, I'm glad to know that Rosie is a fundamentalis

Saw 'Downsizing' yesterday, and was kinda disappointed

It started off really good, but then changed directions. Like two movies in one, that didn't go well together. Makes sense, cuz it had two writers and two directors, and it showed. It went from a light-hearted, fantastic concept, of shrinking humans to about 5" and providing a super-rich lifestyle at a bargain price, to a preachy, philosophical, political, religious downer. Really sad, cuz it COULD have been a great movie, given the original concept.

The 4" of Christmas snow is about gone,

and will be after today in the 50's and tomorrow in the 60's, which will be a golf day. Maybe this 'climate change' isn't all bad....

The Liar in Chief lies SO much, you'd think no one could keep track, BUT,

here's the 'Definitive List', (lie and day it was told), from 'I had the LARGEST EVER inauguration crowd', and 'Well I would have if it weren't for 3 to 5 MILLION illegal voters', and 'I invented the term 'Prime the pump', and many other YUUUUGE whoppers. Check it out, esp you sheep. Hope you got a LOT of time...... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23/opinion/trumps-lies.html?emc=edit_ty_20171228&nl=opinion-today&nlid=50989228&te=1

Meanwhile, back in the 'real world'

away from Bullshit Mountain, home of more 'fake news' than the National Enquirer, the Gallup Poll, ( a 'real' poll vs FOXCrap) confirmed what we already knew. Barack Obama Is ‘Most Admired Man’ For 10th Year In A Row, Gallup Poll Says For the 22nd time, former Secretary of State Hillary  Clinton is the most admired woman. By Jenna Amatulli 6.5k 110 Former President  Barack Obama  is the  most admired man  in the United  States and has been for the past 10 years ,  according to a  Gallup poll  released Wednesday.

We all remember the Orange Clown bitchin' about Obama golfing too much,

Image
and that if HE were elected he'd golf less and work more. Wellllll, guess what? It was just another whopper added to his YUUUUUGE pile of LIES. Trump Spends Second Day At Golf Course After Saying ‘It’s Back To Work’ During Holidays As president, he’s spent 86 days golfing  According to  pool reports , Trump arrived at the Trump  International Golf Club just after 9 a.m. on both days. Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again.

After the Pubs YUUUUGE giveaway\to their Big Money buddies

we knew THIS was coming, but not so soon. Paul Ryan wants to cut entitlements to trim the deficit Revenue shortfalls created by the new GOP tax law could make House Speaker Paul Ryan's political goals easier to achieve. Ryan wants to cut so-called entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security to reduce the deficit. Are you shittin' me? Calling Soc Sec an entitlement, after I paid into it for over 50 years is Repub bullshit. Same with Medicare, although the difference is I STILL pay into it, for 80-20 coverage, after a deductible and monthly payments over $120.  Same old crap from the Pubs, as they screw the lower/middle class to shovel $$$ to those who need it least. What's funny/ironic is the fact that the low income/education morons who elected him are gonna be hurt the worst.

FOX is bitchin'

cuz, Prince Harry and Meghan might invite the Obama's and not Trump. Wow, who da thunk you'd invite a friend to your wedding and NOT invite an a-hole you can't stand?  In other Bullshit Mountain WTF'S, they are are bitchin' about a conspiracy at the FBI to obstruct Trump's presidential campaign. WHAT??? Do the sheep not remember Comey's last minute release that the FBI had found more incriminating e-mails, even though they hadn't? It never ceases to amaze me what FOX-PARP can shovel to the moronic sheep, in the name of 'news' as they prepare Russia-Trump 'Collusion' defense, based on an incompetent, biased FBI. And it's working, for their clueless audience, who don't give a shit about collusion anyway. Concerning the UN voting to condemn the Liar in Chief's plan to move the US embassy to Jerusalem...  Why Trump felt his bombastic pronouncement would be accepted is obvious. In his mind he is actually a world leader, adm

Just saw an interview with Joe Scarborough,

not long after I'd read an article by George Will, two OPPOSITE ends of the Repub party, both of which have unusually high intelligence, considering they are PUBS. Along with MANY real Repubs, incl the Bushes, they have totally disowned the Orange Clown, BUT, the middle ground, spineless, brainless masses, incl the Evangelicals, have put up with his Pussy Grabbing bullshit, and are able to stomach the vile, vain, arrogant, Liar in Chief, cuz he has (R) after his name, even though real Repubs can't stand the jerk. Can you say HYPOCRITES, as these a-holes have given hypocrites a bad name....

Until now, the President has always attended

the Kennedy Center Honors, where the best among us have been honored for their contributions to the betterment of our lives. But not this year. On Tuesday night CBS  will air the Kennedy Center Honors , and President Trump will not be on the screen, because  he declined to attend the event  when it was held on Dec. 3 in Washington. What does it mean that Mr. Trump didn’t have the nerve, for a single night, to be in a room with artists who have criticized him? The honoring of artists is a bipartisan ritual. The Kennedy Center was a place where the left and the right could agree that the arts occupy a central place in our culture, worthy of our attention and respect. But not this year. The vain, arrogant, unqualified Liar in Chief is too petty to share the spotlight with those who are FAR MORE talented, because some of them don't share his political views.  What an ass, but nothing hew here....

The Liar in Chief has lied SO much

Image
that even on those rare occasions when he might be telling the truth, most Americans don't believe him, for good reason. 12/24/2017 06:01 am ET Trump’s Credibility Is So Low That Americans Don’t Believe They’re Getting A Tax Cut The president’s near daily falsehoods appear to be  tripping up Republicans on their victory lap. Only 21 percent of respondents believed they would be better  off under the tax plan, while 37 percent believed they would be  worse off. Another 36 percent thought they would not be affected  much either way. Reminds of a boy who cried 'Wolf', all the time.....

As if there were any doubt,

and there would be if you believe the crap from FOX, the main recipients of the Repub Tax Bill are the VERY rich, who will get very richer, as the govt will have to cut SOMEWHERE to make up for the 'giveaways' to those who need it least. The Orange Clown made it clear who the main benefactors are, yesterday at Mar-a-Lago, where the 1% Pay to Play. Trump Told Friends ‘You All Just Got a Lot Richer’ From Tax Bill He made the comment at his Mar-a-Lago resort,  Trump just told his friends at his lavish Mar-a-Lago  club “you all just got a lot richer” after the  passage of his tax cut legislation,  CBS News   reported Sunday. Trump reportedly made the remark during dinner on Friday at the exclusive Florida resort, where initiation fees cost $200,000, just hours after he signed the bill into law. Asked for comment by CBS News , the White House on Saturday stood by its claims that the legislation would the benefit the middle class. While households at

Wow, a beautiful White Christmas!

Woke up this morning to 3" of fresh, white powder and had to fire up the snow blower for the first time this year. Yahoo! Earlier this week played golf in shorts.... Looking forward to the kids coming over and having a great Christmas with fun, food and games. Will have to take special care with Kari, who's about a week away from delivering our grandson. Yahoo! Life is good.

This just in, from Bullshit Mountain

Although EVERY poll, (outside of FOXLies), shows the Liar in Chief steadily dropping in the polls, after starting out historically LOW, and now at about 33%, give or take a couple of points, the clowns at FOX assure they can't be believed, (Fake News) cuz the Propaganda Arm of the Repub Party is the ONE and ONLY bastion of truth. AND THE SHEEP SWALLOW IT! Nothing new here, but I could make a fortune selling magic beans to this crowd of morons. Exclusive Clips 5:36 AMERICA'S NEWS HQ Tony Katz: Don't believe the polls on Trump

Some Christmas Classics, for the Liar in Chief

You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why, Robert Mueller's coming to town!

Because the Dotard doesn't understand 'Science'

and the Repub party is 'anti-science', to placate their Bible Belt Base, the largest meeting of Geo-Scientists in the world, this week, was 'off-limits' to the Pub controlled administration's scientists. AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION Fewer U.S. scientists go to top world conference NEW ORLEANS»  Hundreds of U.S. Geological Survey scientists were missing from the biggest conference in their field this month. Typically, some 450 researchers from the nation’s top natural resources and natural hazards agency attend the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, the largest gathering of Earth, space and climate scientists in the world. But in the weeks before this year’s conference, the Interior Department — which oversees the USGS — issued a new cap on attendance:  As a result, just 178 USGS researchers were present at the AGU conference in New Orleans last week — a 60 percent drop from last year. According to spokeswoman A.B. Wade, the USGS wa

and the US may never be the same. Some examples from today's paper. Memento redesigned with a touch of Trump Instead of going to military heroes, the Orange Clown has redesigned the coin to reward political donors, and slapped his name all over, plus removed the symbols of the country and replaced them with his campaign slogan.   The 13 arrows representing the original states have disappeared. And the national motto, “E pluribus unum” — a Latin phrase that means “Out of many, one” — is gone. Instead, both sides of the coin feature Trump’s official campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” The changes don’t stop there. In addition to his signature, Trump’s name appears three times on the coin, which is thicker than those made for past presidents. And forget the traditional subdued silver and copper: Trump’s coin, a White House aide marveled, is “very gold.” The aide said the president, whose real estate properties are known for their gilded displays of weal
