Weinstein has just made my week. I love to see the hypocrisy of Democtrats exposed, as the Democrats called for the firing of Bill O'Reilly for having settled sexual lawsuits out of court, as we now know the Democrat's darling Weinstein has done also, and has been much more egregious in his supposed sexual assaults, actually groping and raping some women, than O'reilly was said to be, and with most around Weinstein knowing all of this as common knowledge, as he even had it written into his contract with the company that he founded. So are the same Democrats that called for O'Reilly to be fired, also calling for Weinstein to be fired? Not only are those hypocrites who called for O'Reilly's firing not calling for Weinstein's dismissal, no Democrats are, but are only half-heartenly calling his actions surprising and disgusting.

But lets take a look at the real diengenuousness and hardcore hypocrisy, as shown by none other than Hillary Clinton. After her mild condemnation of Weinstein, notice how she commended and complimented those brave women for coming forward and telling what Weinstein had done to them. I have read of at least three women that Bill Clinton has settled sexual harassment lawsuits with, paying out big money at the time, and at least one woman who claimed that Bill Clinton had raped her twice in a few hours at a hotel room that he had asked her to meet him to discuss some political issues, where he held her captive. Then there is Bill Clinton's longtime mistress of over 17 years, Jennifer Flowers, and the many Monica Lewinski sexual soirees with Bill Clinton, who adamantly denied having any sexual relationship "with that woman" (Monica Lewinski), until it was learned that he ejaculated on her blue party dress, that she saved as a souviner and was never going to wash it ever again, which the semen DNA was proven to be Bill Clinton's. Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct was at least on a par with Weinstein's, if not much more, and tremendously more than Bill O'Oreilly's few accusations of nothing but supposed sexual harassment in the work place, that never went any further.

So what does this have to do with the real diengenuousness and hardcore hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton? The fact that all those more than 20 women, who came forward and exposed and complained about all of Bill Clinton's sexual harassment and sexual attacks on them, were attacked by a political professional group put together and led by Hillary Clinton in the 'White House', where she led them in attacking all those women, ruining their lives by blaming the women for what Bill Clinton had done to them, even the woman who was raped by Bill Clinton. One wonders where Hillary Clinton got the audacity to do as she did, to blame a young 'White House' intern (Monica Lewinski), who was only a third of her husbands age, for what her husband had her do, and what he did to her, as he got blow jobs in all the 'White House' halls and closets, and stuck his cigar in her vagina before smoking it, which Hillary doesn't think her husaband should have known better than to do, yet he was supposed to have the judgement to be the President of the USA? Yes, Hillary Clinton had no words of commendation and compliments for those brave women for coming forward and telling what her husband Bill Clinton had done to them, as she has for the women who have come forward telling what Weinstein had done to them.

Since Hillary Clinton got it in her mind to become the first woman President, she now wants to champion all these women who make sexual harassment accusations against men, intead of attacking them and destroying their lives, like she did to all those women that came forward and complained about and exposed her husband Bill Clinton's sexuall harassment and sexual attacks on them. Am I the only one that can see this outragous hypocrisy by not only Hillary Clinton, but all Democrats who knew all the exact same things that I just commented on, back when Bill and Hillary Clinton were attacking women, the first by sexual attacks, and the latter by life destorying attacks of blame on those women for what her husband continuously and constantly engaged in, sexaul attacks on women, while Democrats turned their heads and looked the other way. Then whenever any liberal complains that a conservative may be doing the same, and you ask them why didn't they also speak up when Bill Clinton was doing what they are now complaining about, they dismiss it as water under the bridge that happened decades ago, the excuse used by all Democrat hypocrites.

Thanks Mr Weinstein, for there is always some good that comes out of people doing bad deeds, even if it is to remind us all who the real hypocrites are in the USA.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hillary, the "champion" of women, called the victims of her husband's sexual escapades: trailer trash, narcissistic looney toons, and collectively, a bimbo eruption." She also accepted millions of dollars from misogynistic countries for the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary's legal history and an audio RECORDING from 1982, not only showed a lack of empathy toward women, but depravity toward a 12 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO WAS RAPED. Hold on - This is inhumanity 101!!!

"Yeah, I got him off. SO WHAT? WHO CARES? We got the evidence thrown out, so he walked. *LAUGHS* I mean, sure, WE KNEW HE DID IT - *LAUGHS* - but it didn't matter. (eerily reminiscent of "What difference does it make.")

How kind was Hillary to the mothers of the victims of Benghazi. THE FIRST WORDS SHE UTTERED TO THEM WERE THE TWO LIES ABOUT THE VIDEO AND THE SPONTANEOUS PROTEST!! Then, she actually told Glen Doherty's sister AT THE CASKET CEREMONY that she should FEEL SORRY FOR THE BARBARIANS WHO MASSACRED HER BROTHER, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PROPERLY EDUCATED. HILLARY PROMISED SEAN SMITH'S MOTHER THAT SHE WOULD CALL HER WITH MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ATTACK, AND THEN NEVER SPOKE TO SEAN'S MOTHER AGAIN!! HILLARY'S JOB PRIORITY AS SOS WAS TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN FOREIGN LANDS. IT WAS HER RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THEM!! WHERE THE HELL WAS SHE??

There's no better uplift for the day then seeing a miracle come into the world. Of all animals especially a colt..I love horses... : )


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Another thing we have in common. I love horses too. They are such majestic animals. When my honey and I went on vacation to a Dude Ranch for the first time, you would have laughed yourself silly. My husband looked so chivalrous on a horse and he really knew how to ride - but this was my first time. When one of the ranchers took us on a ride with several other guests, he asked if it would be OK if he took the lead. Little did I know what that meant. He started galloping off through the woods and there I was, holding on for dear life, my rump hitting the saddle at warp speed. I tell you, Katie, it was not pretty - hysterical, but not pretty. You can just imagine how the poor horse felt! I would have loved to go to the ranch more frequently and become a better rider, but it became very difficult after our sons were born and I became a caretaker for my mom.

Kevyn,
None of the AHoles above know anything about real love of country. All they know is how to call names and repeat the Trump/Barren self-serving lies fed to them by the Kochs, the NRA, and the Russians. If there are any of these uneducated, so-called Patriots who served in Korea 66 years ago as I did, I'd be willing to have a civil conversation over a RobRoy, but I'll bet there are damn few takers.


__________________________________________________________________________________________

I DO love this country, MalG, and I am replying to your response to Kevyn on a personal level. No, I did not serve in Korea. My allegiance to America comes from the devotion of my Italian immigrant grandparents and my deceased husband, who served aboard the Hazelwood during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nothing in my post was deceptive. What Obama said and did, and didn't do, was the truth. You may not want to agree, but that's your opinion; it is not mine. You accuse Trump, Koch, the NRA and the Russians and, I assume, all Republicans/Conservatives, of being *holes and uneducated; then you suggest a "civil" conversation. That is certainly an odd way of making a request. If you wish to have a "civil" discourse with someone, it is not exactly the wisest thing to use expletives and insults in doing so - people may consider you rude and uneducated.

Whether Trump was the right choice or not was an enigma. This was his first election. Hillary, on the other hand, was a seasoned politician - She was a former U.S. Senator, the 67th U.S. Secretary of State, the Former First Lady of the U.S., the former First Lady of Arkansas, and she served on the House Judiciary Committee. So it is incredulous that the woman was too clueless to recognize a "Classified Marking" in an email or too incompetent to handle two email accounts at once!! I can't understand how any military man or woman could vote for her. The email scandal alone, in which she compromised National Security by using an UNSECURED SERVER, put our soldiers at additional risk. Her Benghazi lies and dismissiveness did not exactly endear her to our best and bravest.

Hillary's "empathetic" answer to the allegation of "widespread" problems with the VA: "There have been a number of surveys of veterans," Hillary argued, "and overall, veterans who do get treated, are SATISFIED with their treatments. Now, nobody would believe that from the coverage that you see, and the constant berating of the VA that comes FROM THE REPUBLICANS, IN PART IN PURSUIT OF THIS IDEOLOGICAL AGENDA THAT THEY HAVE." (SURE, HILLARY - THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA IS TO CALL OUR VETERANS "LIARS" BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY RECEIVING EXEMPLARY CARE DURING HER DAYS AS SOS!! THEN WHY, HILLARY, WHY WERE THERE 20 VETERAN SUICIDES A DAY - YES, A DAY!!!). THAT IS HILLARY'S IDEOLOGY - TO CALL VICTIMS' FAMILIES "LIARS" - AS SHE ACCUSED THE FAMILIES OF BENGHAZI!!)

How typical of her. Instead of investigating the suicide rate of our military, her response was completely "political" - it's a "vast right wing conspiracy." (She didn't even wait a day to commiserate with the victims of the mass shooting in Vegas, before she started pontificating about Gun Control.) In the VA's first public posting of adverse actions against employees, terminations, suspensions and demotions, showed that the department fired 525 staffers from Jan. 20, when President Trump took office, through July 3.

President Trump was in office a mere four months when he addressed the chronic problems in the VA by signing a bill that extends stopgap services for veterans to go outside the VA medical system for care.

Six months in office and President Trump signed a bill into law that would expedite the process for top officials to fire problematic employees at the long-troubled U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “Our wounded warriors have given everything they have to this nation and we owe them everything we have in return.” (BRAVO, MR. PRESIDENT!!)

The bill was designed as a response to a series of scandals at the government’s second-largest agency, including a 2014 incident where VA employees created secret lists to cover up long wait times for appointments. Critics said VETERANS HAVE DIED WAITING FOR CARE and that a few bad workers have been fired for misconduct. The first public posting of adverse actions against employees-- terminations, suspensions and demotions--showed that the VA department fired 525 staffers from Jan. 20, when President Trump took office, through July 3.

You can cling steadfastly to your Dem/Liberal ideas, MalG despite what I have posted. That's your choice and you fought for the right to it. And so, I thank you for the service you rendered our country. That is something that should never be dismissed or forgotten.

Four US Army special forces members were killed by an ISIL affiliate in Niger and not a peep out of the Orange buffoon. Most Americans have grown to expect This callousness from Trump, who cares only for himself. Perhaps he thinks these brave men “losers like John McCain” for not staying out of the service with fake bone spurs and anal cysts like the “winners” Limbaugh and Trump. I hope the people who have been screaming bengazi for years hold Trump accountable for this, but I won’t hold my breath.

On Saturday October 7, the day the body of 25-year-old Army Sgt. La David Johnson was returned to Dover Air Force Base after he was killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger, President Donald Trump was golfing!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



The father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl slammed the Obama administration’s decision to hold a PUBLIC trial for admitted 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed — who boasted of killing his son in Pakistan. His son’s beheading in 2002 was caught on a gruesome video that shocked the world. Judea Pearl said he was “sick to the stomach” when he heard that the Justice Department decided to prosecute Mohammed in Manhattan federal court. “I don’t want to hear every morning in the papers what KSM did. Danny was killed once. Now he will be killed 10 times a day. Leave him alone. The 21st century saw three shocks,” Pearl said. “The first was 9/11. The second was the killing of my son. And the third was the shock today.” The reporter’s outraged father, a UCLA professor, said a PUBLIC trial would allow the admitted mass murderer to “boast about his cruelty” and encourage other terrorists to inflict harm. Pearl said the prosecution of Mohammed should be done in CLOSED session to avoid giving terrorists a platform.


I also remember Barack Obama taking heavy criticism when he went golfing during his vacation just minutes after denouncing the militants who had BEHEADED American journalist, James Foley. He went golfing on Martha's Vineyard after delivering that statement in which he said he'd JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE WITH JAMES' PARENTS!!! His lame "COMPASSION" extended to NBC's "Meet the Press" when he "oh so poignantly remarked" that there always will be tough news somewhere, but that he "SHOULD'VE ANTICIPATED THE OPTICS" of immediately going to play golf. (CERTAINLY!! THOSE OPTICS WERE THE IMPORTANT THING - NOT THE DEVASTATION FOLEY'S PARENTS MUST HAVE FELT AFTER GETTING THAT CALL! HOW THE HECK COULD ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF EMPATHY BE THAT CALLOUS!!) - However, deflecting, as he was wont to do, Obama said the MORE IMPORTANT question was whether he was getting the policies right and protecting the American people. On that score, he said he's done a very good job. (SURE HE DID!! ISIS WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS "POLICIES!")

Pearl and Foley were almost the same age when they died. Both were working for American news outlets. Both were captured by Islamist extremists and had video recordings of their executions released.

But golf was not the only distraction for the ex-President. There were also those fund-raisers!!

It can be no surprise that the most important, most essential, most paramount of all fund-raisers was that of 9/12/12 in Las Vegas. Of course, it was "inconvenient" for the "oh-so-patriotic" President Obama that, on 9/11/12, there was a terrorist attack in Libya. The American Ambassador and three other brave American officials (including two Navy Seals) were massacred!! Their bodies were dragged through the streets to a cheering mob. AND ON THE DAY FOLLOWING THIS ATROCITY, Obama expressed his distress over a dumb anti-Islamic video and a "spontaneous protest" - which he DECEPTIVELY blamed for the debacle. The actual truth, was determined to be "RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM," but OLIGARCH OBAMA MANDATED THAT PHRASE SHOULD NEVER TO BE UTTERED!! Then it was announced that Obama would continue with the day's campaign schedule, beginning with his flight to Vegas. (Guess " Money and getting the heck out of Dodge" was even more important than the "optics" that time around!!! - CONTEMPTIBLE!!)

[quote=goch1]...and for those who don't know French, "manage a troi" means an arrangement in which three people share a sexual relationship, typically a domestic situation involving a married couple and the lover of one of them. How would you say that in Porugese?[/quote

Hi Goch - I am an avid fan of Lara Fabian and have fallen in love with her French songs - especially, "Je T'aime" and "Je Suis Malade." Lara's piano accompanist on many of her songs is Giora Linenberg. Mr. Linenberg also composes music and I am addicted to his composition "Ce Qu'il Reste." I have tried, to no avail, to get the sheet music to that song as the melody is beyond beautiful. Another song I love is one composed by Charles Aznavour, "Les batteaux sont parti." There is a you tube in which Placido Domingo sings this Aznavour song and between his voice and Aznavour's melody, it is absolutely amazing. Does the title translation into English read, "The Boat is a Party?" I would sincerely appreciate your help. It is so difficult to find French sheet music. I am trying to learn the French language on my own. It is difficult and I knew that it would be, but I have found the pronunciation even more difficult. French is quite a challenge but, if I am successful, it would certainly be worth the effort. Thank you again. (Grace)

Bravo!!! Simply outstanding!!!!👏👏👏👏


Thank you, Linda - Your post, giving credit to all our servicemen and women, gives credit to you as well.

I can't believe how ungrateful and selfish these flag and anthem protesters are. They take all our country offers and then have the audacity to complain!! If you are displeased with something the POLITICIANS are promoting, then let THEM know - don't disrespect the men and women who SACRIFICE, AND HAVE SACRIFICED, themselves and their families to GIVE YOU THAT RIGHT!! When they can't stand for the flag and anthem, it tells our military that all the suffering they endure, and have endured, has been rejected.

Well, WE CAN'T STAND for the contempt and insolence these ingrates show the symbols of our America. I know that posting this on a comment to you is like the proverbial "preaching to the choir," but when it comes to our men and women in uniform, the intensity of my feelings always surface. One of my pet peeves is ingratitude. I'm not talking money or gifts - I mean just an acknowledgement, a "thank you," a smile, a hug, just a gesture that expresses your appreciation for a kindness, a service, or even for "just listening."

Thanks again, Linda - Sorry I went off on a rant, but I was just watching the news and those knee benders and fist clenchers were at it again.

Katie. : )


That's great, Katie!! I belong to a Church Choir and, after writing a poem for our Director, our Monsignor, the Choir members' anniversary cards, birthdays, invitations, etc., I've been kept busy. Like you, I love it. I find the most difficult poems are the "acrostic" ones - where the first letter of each line of poetry, read vertically, spells someone's name. You're so restricted by that first letter. It's a challenge, but at least it keeps the brain cells working. I always consider it a gift when they ask me. Again, so glad we have found another common bond!! Grace

Hey Slat, I'm a 60 yr old anchor clanker. And though I personally believe that the Coast Guard is the ULTIMATE service, I'll give you Jarheads plenty of credit.


I HONESTLY did think of your service but, thought you might be considered Navy. I should have known better. I'm so sorry.

My honey and a neighbor bought a fishing boat together over twenty years ago (it had a fly bridge) and we always felt an extra degree of safety because of the Coast Guard. My Bob would have never let me get away with that. He was very particular about his service. We used to tease each other - I would tell him how cute he looked in his "sailor suit" and he would pretend great opposition to that remark - IT'S A UNIFORM!! NOT A SAILOR SUIT!!! - Then we would "make up." God, I miss him.

Please accept my apology. I can't tell you how much I admire all our men and women in uniform - including our first responders. How close to the Good Lord can you be than to put your lives on the line for strangers. How courageous you all are!!

Thanks for the praise of our Veterans on the forum. BadBobby, to my knowledge, is the senior Squid on deck. I believe a long since heard from poster named Marvin Sussman was probably the senior Dog-Face. PoppaGringo, aka 'Salty' is likely the senior Marine. I can't with any certainty speak as to who the senior FlyBoy is...or, any Coast Guarders who may be on board.

We enjoy engaging in friendly inter-service rivalries. It is clearly understood that Marines rate highest. I coincidentally, am one.

Marines rate highest?! And you are "COINCIDENTALLY" one?? Gee, How come I could have guessed that one?? (LOL) I will say one thing. They do have the best looking dress uniforms. The avatar I use pictures the "Hazelwood," which is the destroyer my husband was aboard. He served during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Never realized how close we were to war during that crisis. He passed five years ago, but I'll miss him till the day I join him. He was such a great guy.

Kudos on your service, slatten. I keep watching those welcome home videos, where the soldiers surprise their families from an early return. I just want to hug all of them. When I think of what they go through, and what the families go through, it breaks my heart. I guess that's why, in my whole life, I have never hated anyone, but Hillary. Every time I think about Benghazi, how she spoke to the families of the victims, and how reckless she was with those emails, placing our military at even more risk, and that she is a mother, I can't come to terms with it. Oh well, at least she's not President. God Bless.

Can't have you thinking that anyone would dismiss a sailor, especially, since I was married to one for years - and he had your first name - so I'd call him a goodbobby. Here's a poem which, hopefully, doesn't leave any service man out. I really do love all you guys!! I haven't forgotten the women in service (God Bless Them, Too) but this is, satirically, just for the guys.


OUR GUYS IN THE MILITARY

I love the guys in the military
The guys who fly and sail the sea
The guys who tread on desert sands
The guys with Carbines in their hands
Pilots flying helicopters and jets
The Infantry dealing with terrorist threats
The Sailor confronting uncertainty
From foreign vessels sailing the seas
Yes, all of these men have stood the test
Of facing their fears, and doing their best
Bravely accomplishing whate'er was needed
Each mission attempted, they succeeded
They stood taller, determined, prouder still
Of their country, training, and superior skill
Their faces shining for a job well done
For protecting the freedoms they had won
With spirit, conviction, honor and pride
With patriotism alight in their eyes
THEY ALL LOOK SO HANDSOME, sexy and strong
American Heroes - Got It Going On!!
