Today is the Holiday for Mexicans in the US, but nowhere else in the world, not even Mexico, except for the State of Puebla…where it is a tepid holiday, at best…maybe some parades and such.

For the rest of Mexico, it is nothing special. In the US, it  is, somehow, a special day for Mexican Americans and their illegal friends. And an excuse to drink for the rest of us because cheap Mexican beer and tequila is on sale and there are drink specials at bars and such.

But mostly it is an American Mexican holiday, not a Mexican holiday. Sorta like St. Patrick’s day only with darker skin and black hair.

154 proof Gin. 

Not for the timid. A bit harsh on yer innards….But I bet that it will make great Rheumatism medicine and such.

They want folks to return those bottles, but I bet that none are returned. 

This bill wasn’t a “Repeal and Replace”.

It was a “replace ObamaCare with a “less bad” version of ObamaCare”.

Those 20 Representatives who voted against this abomination of a bill are the only ones who stood true to the GOP promise to REPEAL.

All of you who use the words Repeal and Replace are liars. There is no Repeal. There is still Socialized Medicine. There is still the concept that the State owes some people health care insurance based solely on their “reported” income. That the rest of the people should pay their own way. That failing to participate in the shared risk pool can be rewarded when people discover that they need someone to pay for their medical expenses (preexisting conditions) on the backs of the rest of us.

The whole concept of Socialized medicine still exists in this plan. What it has done is to more firmly cement the concept that Health Care insurance is a right as a citizen of the US.

The GOP has greatly failed to meet even my very low opinion and expectations of them.

Proving once again that Leftists stick together. Liberals. What can you say?

(and, of course, showing the double standards when it comes to influencing elections)

Go to College…

Just as soon as he got his GED.

Which wuz as soon as he could keep his ass outa trouble long enough to do it.

Or something.

If only he hadn’t been shot fo Mindin’ hiz own Bidnez

File this under WTF?

Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman in February 2012, will be awarded a bachelor’s degree in aviation from Florida Memorial University (FMU) during commencement ceremonies on May 13.

This.

Exactly this.

I want my campaign promises kept.

TheDonald should fire his advisors. Especially Reince Preibus, Since he took him on, Trump’s message and strength had gone downhill. Seems his ability to get things done has waned.

Trump is acting like the GOP that we elected him to lead to victories, not to fail and knuckle under.

100 days, and where is the Repeal? Where is the wall (yeah, the GOP negotiated both away) where is anything in the first 100 days?

He shoulda stood firm and let the Dems cause a shutdown.

In the replacement of the 40 year old breaker box, one must just say “FuckIt” and just get the power back on.

This is doubly true when the person who installed the original box had no idea what he was doing in the first place. (and he has passed, so I can’t kick him in the ass)

It is now safe (I am amazed that thing didn’t burn the whole range down) if not to Code.

It will be to code in a day or two. And the power is back on in almost every place in the range. 

Then you should read J Curtis’s recent effort.

Rimworld…Into the Green

I was one of his Beta readers. It is a good epic.

Worth buying for your reading pleasure.

Where is my cuts in government spending? You know, the ones you promised?

Yes, the Democrats have threatened to hold fast and shut down the Government…..How is this a bad thing? Let ’em stall and put the Federal Government into stasis for a while. I DON’T CARE. Blame them. Be loud about it. don’t let them set the agenda and the Budget.

I want my “Less Government” I want my spending cuts. I want my Border Wall and my Repeal of ObamaCare.

If Reince Preibus is telling you that you should fold, remember, he was once the opposition, and he was the one pushing Jeb Bush. He was the one that let the Democrats walk all over the Republicans for the 8 years of Obama’s reign.

You really need to stand fast here. Say “NO!” and demand the cuts. Demand the start of the border wall. Defund Planned Parenthood and the NEA and all those other useless agencies. Insist on a 20% cut in every 3 letter agency (and 25% in all the rest).

Stand fast. We supported you in the election and we will support you now.

GIVE US WHAT YOU PROMISED.

Yes, I know it is hard. Yes, people will say Bad Things about you. (Hint: They already are saying Bad Things about you) . Let the DNC choose to shut the government down. But stand firm.

We elected you because you weren’t More of the Same. You weren’t the DNC Light GOP that we had as other choices. Don’t prove us wrong here. You have a majority in the House, and in the Senate. Use that Majority. Make the RNC types stand for what they claim they stand for. Kick some butt if you have to.

Stand up, be strong, stand firm, and fight for what we want….for what you promised……Fire Reince Preibus and anyone else who says you need to be conciliatory. Fight for what you promised those of us who got you where you are.

‘Cause if you keep folding your cards when the Democrats push back,  then there is gonna be a Democrat majority government running this country 4 years from now, and that ain’t gonna be good for any of us or the country.

Get busy and LEAD the milquetoast Republicans away from the idea that they must fold every time when the DNC folks start playing Full Contact. Kick some ass yourself and get them in line and LEAD. It is why we elected you.

ETA: Puerto Rico? Let the island sink….or, let ’em have to sell the island to pay their debts. They aren’t even a state, why should we bail them out after all those years of mismanaged finances?
Fuck ’em.

ETA: I aint the onliest one that feels this way.

Is that the scniffles (Of epic proportion) have ceased, for the most part.

Sadly, it is now in my lungs. I can’t walk up a flight of stairs without having to stop.

In fact, the effort put into writing this post my be a bit too much.

More later as I feel less ill.

Read the folks on the left side. They are smarter and more erudite anyway….
