do or die

Will need to change his name to Clay, or something.....

So Young was a 4.4 in 2006...and a 4.3 .....now, 11 years later? Fake news.

Good News: Saw some pretty good film on Young Bad News: It was from 2006

SHOCKER! Mitch McConnell confirms what was obvious from the get-go........American taxpayers on the hook for costs on The Wall. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/09/politics/mitch-mcconnell-mexico-border-wall/index.html Mexicans not paying up. Bad hombres.....bad.

Fighting for a playoff spot....get outscored 4-0 in the period.......just sad. Special teams and goal tending leading the way, yet again....

From a historical perspective....just think "Robber Barons"

Just reading about how Jones is breaking rules.... to protect the integrity of the league. This requires even more gin.

Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader and Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House intelligence committee said they hadn’t seen evidence to support baseless allegations that Barack Obama wiretapped Trump during the election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/07/trump-wiretap-obama-republicans-us-intelligence It gets better... So an incoming President accuses the former President of illegally wiretapping his phones, and calls it "the biggest thing since Watergate", provides absolutely no evidence, but induces the White House to demand an Congressional investigation? Just idle chatter....the press should of just moved along Republicans are getting all kinds of practice.... at shape-shifting, these days, everyday. Top Republicans running away from this story and dumping it back into the White House's lap. Fortunately the next Angry Spice press conference should completely clear things up. What an utter clown show. Why am I not surprised?

A lot of hay for a rotation guy....

Lay off of Spicer.....he only picks up the cans and dumps it on the press core......

Well, optics to the contrary, Trump is actually accomplishing some things.... ok, for his kinda people Corporations that will have to put up with less EPA regulations and enforcement - who cares about the environment? Bankers and other Financial institutions can go back to less over site and banking regulations - Got by just fine without those, right? Corporations who can continue to grossly over-charge for military hardware, - making America strong, yet again? Corporations who can over charge for goods and services.... if this nonsensical wall ever gets built No more of this socialist movement towards universal health care - the class (ability to pay) system must stay strong. Deregulation and "Corporate tax reform" - you just know this will level out the playing field...right? Moguls, plutocrats and one-per centers, rejoice! As far as the rest - welcome to Trickle Down Theory Part Deux.....and cross yer fingers.

Watching a Republican Congressman this morning describe it as "personal responsibility" The real sad part...is that a lot of the blue collar and low income people who voted for Trump - are going to be the ones getting it in the neck.....in more ways than one.....

Imagine this scenario... Obama charges that the Bush administration tapped his phones, somewhere outside the white house. He tweets this on the heels of a left wing opinion piece, in say, Drudge retort..... then parrots the same charge on twitter - no evidence provided Obama refuses to provide any evidence, despite public disclaimer from the FBI. Just says that he "knows for a fact" Obama's Press Secretary says it is " based on multiple sources" but won't divulge any and says no more statements until "we get an investigation" Democrats on the hill, have seen no evidence at all, but make media statements like "the President knows" or "he has a good reason to say this" How fast do you think, there would a congressional investigation?

Who wasn't all that good, when he was in there.......and took heat from the cubicle holders.

Some interesting stuff also....about a German Bank that was sanctioned and received record fines for money laundering 10B of Russian dough.....and holds paper on the Trumps of around 300M from some previous deals....

Well, the Bombers could just sign me....and make everybody happy.

FBI Official: "Here is the updated Top Ten Most Wanted List, Mr President" Trump: "About time! Have you screened the list the way I wanted?" FBI Official: "Yes sir. Much more focus on our Southern border, now." Trump: "Awesome! About time you guys did something instead of leaks." "You've been bad....bad." Trump reads the list....... 1. Gustavo Fring 2. Ron L. Mexico 3. Tony Montoya 4. Hector "Tuco" Salamanga 5. Carlito Brigante 6. Sasso aka Ron for Renaldo 7. Pancho Villa 8. Un-named Bill Clinton love child 9. Ricardo Montelban 10. Cheech Marin Trump: "Great! Looks just right. Anyone can tell there are a bunch of real bad hombres, there. Number 8 is great - nobody can call me a racist. I even left off Geraldo Rivera, so the media couldn't cry. Nobody is smarter than me!"

You mean al la James McCord? That would bring back some memories

I see good ole Carter Page was keeping busy during the GOP Convention, talking to the Russians, about Ukraine. Perhaps the question now is.... Which Trump advisors, in any...... were NOT in regular communication with the Russians?

The New Yorker? Bah, Leftist effete rag, read by pinkos, immigrants, swamp dwellers, and Hollywood actors....... Just kidding - a very sage and stylish publication, that I have been reading for years. Pretty good article.

The assertions that Mr. Kislyak works for our security apparatus, or is some sort of spy, is patently absurd, and simply anti-Russian propaganda. Sincerely, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Former Head, KGB

Sessions had no choice. The spectacle of Sessions investigating Sessions.....would not help the already shady optics, round this whole Russian thing.... As I pointed out above.....there are lot of people connected with Trump, politically and otherwise....with some sort or form of back door connections to the Putin "administration" Given the politically sensitive nature of the people and titles involved (Campaign Manager, US Attorney General, and National Security advisor, etc ) as well as the time frame of the various conversations - some answers are clearly needed......soon.

Well, this administration has already compiled an impressive record.....of mis-truths, serial lying, deflections, and Trumped up facts......in a single month.

Started looking, a while back at this Russian business. Interesting cast of characters, alright..... General Michael Flynn Acknowledged Russia-phobe, who was paid to attend the RT (Russian Today) 10th anniversary gala in December 2015. RT is directly controlled and funded by the Kremlin, used as a propaganda tool - whitewashing both domestic oppression and military aggression by the Russian state. Flynn was forced to resign, after FBI investigations into his conversations with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak , who both current and former US intelligence officials have described as a top spy and recruiter of spies, led to a official Justice Department warning to the White House about the possibility of Flynn being compromised or ever the target of Russian blackmail. The Trump administration maintained that Flynn - who as NSA is one of the few people with unfettered access to the President 24/7 .......acted alone in some kind of "rogue" fashion. We now know that Trump and other officials were briefed on the Justice Dept. warning, 3 weeks before Flynn left. Paul Manifort Trump campaign manager, with extensive lobbying history overseas, particularly in the Ukraine, where he represented pro-Russian interests. Manifort resigned, while being investigated by the National Security Agency Some of his contacts there were under surveillance by the NSA for suspected links to Russia’s Federal Security Service. Carter Page Ex-foreign policy adviser to Trump, who was scrutinized by the FBI for private communications with senior Russian officials over the summer Page was previously an advisor on several major transactions. Mr. Page’s extensive business links in Russia prompted suggestions that he might be serving Mr. Trump as a back channel liaison, with senior Kremlin officials. Page also made a speech that criticized the United States and other Western nations for a “hypocritical focus on ideas such as democratization, inequality, corruption and regime change” in Russia and in other parts of the former Soviet Union. Richard Burt Ex-US ambassador to Germany, was drafting a Trump foreign policy speech in April, while earning hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying for a Russian- backed gas pipeline that would extend Putin’s leverage over Europe. Burt advises the owners of Russia’s Alfa Group, one of Russia's largest privately owned investment groups,w who have close Kremlin ties. President Donald Trump Built extensive financial links to Russia. After a number of bankruptcies, Trump’s empire was facing collapse and North American banks were refusing him credit. Luckily for him, several institutions with Russian connections stepped in to help bail him out. (through a particularly shady German bank) Has a close relationship to Bayrock, a real estate development company backed with Russian money and linked to bribery, racketeering, money laundering, and the Russian mob. Donald has publicly praised Putin and defended his policies, including downplaying the bombing campaign in Syria and the invasion of Ukraine. Once nominated, the only change Trump made to the Republican Party platform was to remove a promise to support Ukraine against Russia. He has continually attacked American allies like Germany and the EU, and of course, criticized NATO as “obsolete.” More stuff on the Russian linkages, from the Financial Times https://ig.ft.com/sites/trumps-russian-connections/ It may not stink....but it sure smells.

If anything, Richards has a golden opportunity here this year....to carve himself out some playing time.
