I’m pretty sure I’d refuse

at least until either they:

1. Showed me their legal statutory right to demand my identity papers inside the borders….Which they don’t have. (They can try and claim the 100 mile rule, but that wouldn’t fly in this case)
or
2. Explained WHY they needed me to show my identity papers (and asked politely).

Option 3 is, of course, arresting me. Which has happened in the (far) past, so isn’t that frightening to me…….especially since I don’t have to worry about my boss being unhappy about and losing my job or security clearance.


A search for a deportation target leads to a demand for travelers’ “papers” at JFK

But so many people aren’t sure of their rights and are afraid of anyone with a uniform and badge. Which is why they get away with it….

The big deal

is that the “Russians” “Meddled” in the 2016 US elections.

What, exactly, are the “Russians” supposed to have done?

Changed vote counts? Hacked the voting machines so they registered incorrect votes?

Brainwashed the citizens to vote for Trump (or Hillary)?

What, exactly, did they do?

‘Cause I haven’t heard any specifics.

I’m all for an investigation if there is likely to be something there at the end of it.

But if we are gonna spend MILLIONS of dollars no direction to the investigation and end up with just a platform to have our elected officials pontificate and then nothing at the end….I got issues with that. The Conservatives did it several times using Ken Starr and wasted big bucks and got nowhere. I don’t want a repeat of that.

I’d like to see some specific charges before we go much further. 

Laughable, if not so tragic

Early spring storms erupted in northern Illinois as canadian air clashed with warmer humid southern air, creating a line of extremely strong thundercells and tornadoes along I-80.

Hard hit was the small town of Naplate Il. . The physical damage, like in all such storms, was widespread….no one was seriously hurt in that town….For the residents, it was tragic

The news media personalities are a joke, however. Most were unsure as to where the town was, how to pronounce the name of the town, or what the people of the small town might even look like or speak like……these news personalities have likely never BEEN to a town of less than 10,000 people…

Their reaction to these people is almost comical. 

‘Twas, as always…

Short on details….such are Presidential speeches.

Having said that, his direction is the drection I would like for us to take our country.

Not too keen on the paid leave, but overall, a good speech.

I liked the “America first” theme, and the fact that he feels that he “represents the American people, not the world” About time we had a president who understood that.

At least the Democrats more or less behaved like adults. 

Blame the DNC

All you folks suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and all you weeping sisters crying about Trumps actions taken since his inaguration…… you folks who can talk about nothing else but how terrible Trump is as a person and a President…

Blame the DNC. They are the ones who put Hillary Clinton into the position where folks had to choose the lesser of the two weasels.

Trump may have been the weakest candidate to ever win an election. But he won. He is, like it or not, no matter how much you cry or pout, the legally elected Preident of the United States….he is my president, and no matter ho many times you say otherwise,  he is your president too…. just as Obama was our president..even though about half of us disliked him nearly as much as you disliked Trump.

Why? Because many of the folks who voted for him did so only because the alternative was a vile, slimy, nasty, woman who sold her office (when Secretary of State) and who failed to follow the  laws….and got away with it because she was the DNC presidential candidate. A woman who hated the country and the citizens. Who wanted to set herself up for even greater profits as President. A candidate who couldn’t hide her disdain for a great portion of the productive citizens of the country. One who believed in the State, rather than the Individual. Possibly the most disliked candidate ever.

There are those who point out that she won the popular vote. Yes, but take out the cities and counties where the citizens overwhelmingly depend on Federal goverment largesse, (and have huge illegal poulations) and she lost, overwhelmingly. Or, discount the states with no voter ID and get the same result (draw your own conclusions there…).

Had the DNC (or, for that matter, the RNC) presented any candidates that weren’t repugnant to a great percentage of the (legal) voting population, Trump would not have had a chance.

Few people voted FOR Trump. Many, probably most, voted AGAINST Hillary.

Don’t like your President? Then blame those who gave you shitty choices….but grow up. Stop whining and pissing and moaning like a snippy 13 year old girl.

You have four years to think about it…..
