A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."

The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am, replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

okie don

Kinda like shutting down our drilling and oil production then selling emergency oil reserves and pleading with other countries to produce and sell us some then blaming Putin for our problem?
That's the Demoncrats!

Tom, wisdom comes in small pieces throughout life and its good when some of those pieces stick to us.
What you said and money. Never loan anyone money, instead give it to them, then tell them they can give it back and if they can not, it's OK. Most always they give it back and usually much later than they promised when first asking, always keeps relationships

I'm proud of all of you, that you're not dipsticks, and are lovable people! I do hope it catches on and spreads. It does give me more hope for the people of the world.

----------

The White House, November 10, 1999.
To the Senate of the United States:
With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the
Senate to ratification, I transmit herewith the Treaty Between
the United States of America and Ukraine on Mutual Legal
Assistance in Criminal Matters with Annex, signed at Kiev on
July 22, 1998. I transmit also, for the information of the
Senate, an exchange of notes which was signed on September 30,
1999, which provides for its provisional application, as well
as the report of the Department of State with respect to the
Treaty.
The Treaty is one of a series of modern mutual legal

order to counter criminal activities more effectively. The
Treaty should be an effective tool to assist in the prosecution
of a wide variety of crimes, including drug trafficking
offenses. The Treaty is self-executing. It provides for a broad
range of cooperation in criminal matters. Mutual assistance
available under the Treaty includes: taking of testimony or
statements of persons; providing documents, records, and
articles of evidence; serving documents; locating or
identifying persons; transferring persons in custody for
testimony or other purposes; executing requests for searches
and seizures; assisting in proceedings related to restraint,
confiscation, forfeiture of assets, restitution, and collection
of fines; and any other form of assistance not prohibited by
the laws of the requested state.
I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable
consideration to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to
ratification.

( 3 ) Then we had DEMOCRATS & the threat of de-funding our law enforcement!!!!

And you democrats and leftist media’s ask why did so many people show up in front of the US CAPITAL ?????

(4 ) DEMOCRATS SAY WE HAD A NORMAL YEAR ELECTION, but because of the COVID 19, there were un-manned, unsecured drop box’s placed through towns and city’s.

*There were like 3 or 4 states that allowed non - citizens to vote in city & state elections. Hold on “if any of these non citizen’s walked in or mailed in a ballet what RED FLAG would pop up? They are STATE REGISTER VOTERS?

So have you got enough Illegal’s here in the UNITED STATES to vote democrat TO GUARANTY YOU FILL THE HOUSE AND SENATE????

Are you SURE you never managed a restaurant? I would go three and four weeks without a day off. We also had a catering service I was in charge of. When I did get a day off, I would not answer my phone, or my door, and I parked my car behind my neighbor's house. I suppose you could find me if you really tried, but you'd better get ready to burn the stump and sift the ashes.

I can relate since over the years of having workers I have seen and heard every thing-- "get me out of jail " is a one--- Paying on Mondays because paying on Friday means no helper on Monday and then being asked for a draw on Tuesday. A friend of mine ran a seafood restaurant here and he and his wife both wanted to line up their slacker employees and go down the line slapping each one in the face. I only started getting days off when I layed every one off. I don't have to fix mistakes on weekends any more .
