This article includes some weird facts, some fun facts, but also some very troubling facts If we are ever going to change course as a nation, we need to come to grips with just how far we have fallen.

Good friends are like quilts - they age with you, and yet, they never lose their warmth. Take good care of them....

Agreed Molly! I was never an obama supporter simply because of his policies and agenda, however I never wished to see the man assassinated. I believe in the sanctity of human life, and unlike the libs who want more than anything else to see President Trump dead, is d********g and repugnant. Unfortunately, that says a lot about the liberal mind set and I don't think it will ever change as long as DJT is in office. Sad.

Great topic, and California isn't too far behind. When I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1967 at the ripe old age of 21 I was heavily recruited by the CHP (California Highway Patrol) for my stint as a Military Policeman and red line brig chaser and guard. Had I accepted the position I could have retired at 51. One of the benefits, if memory serves is retirement at full pay and benefits after 30 years of service. I'm not sure if this was the case with all state employees but I thought how could this work? In a matter of a few years there would be more people collecting retirement benefits than were actually working.

It would appear the alt-left is suffering the consequences of their never ending repugnant and despicable portrayals of the assignation of President Trump. These actors, and libs in general, in their abject hatred for the man who surprisingly brought down their shining star last November is beyond the pale. But that is to be expected because the lib/dimocrats have absolutely NO plan, vision, agenda or platform for making America Great. Thus, they revert to their usual play book of blatant lies, disinformation, obfuscation and f**e news to try to diminish the man the people who counted, in the states that counted elected as POTUS. It's simply all the libTARD's have.

SEMPER FI

I did watch the first airing of Kelly's new prime time show last Sunday and was unimpressed. Putin took her to the wood shed for a spanking, and the only segment that was interesting was on the elephants. I doubt I'll watch her show again.

This certainly points out the hypocrisy of the left. When a Christian bakery refuses to make a homosexually themed wedding cake, they are excoriated by the left and d**gged into the courts. But....when a muslim baker does exactly the same thing, the libs and main stream media sweep it under the rug.

Hypocrisy? U Betcha!

What I find amusing is you lib dimicrats are blaming the ills of the country, if not the world on President Trump. Your never ending baseless accusations supported by nothing more than f**e news, lies, innuendo and derision do make me laugh. If any of your silly accusations, supported by Comey's lies and leaks had merit, articles of impeachment would have been drawn up by team donkey led by Maxine Waters, Nan Pelosi and Chucky Schumer within the first 90 days of his administration. What is ironic is the DNC's support of the worst possible candidate ever! The dimicrats really blew this one. They took out Crazy Bernie who stood a much better chance of winning than Shillary, and Jokin' Joe Biden (not the brightest bulb in the chandelier) deciding not to run because he thought she would be a shoo in. You libs, with your hysterical hyperbole, lies, innuendo and insults toward President Trump are a hoot for sure. But, understandably that's all you have because you lost.

Thank you, it is indeed entertaining.

Unfortunately, I agree.

Sorry Glau, but my values are obviously the opposite of yours, and you and your like minded ilk are the reason today we have a President Trump. Whine, cry and caterwaul all you want but he is twice the person you democrats ran in 16'. Fortunately the people who counted, in the states that counted, made that so, sinking the 'Madame President' stupidity. That being said you do indeed have the First Amendment right to regurgitate your loyalties to perverts like Slick Willie and Weiner. Regurgitate on my lil good buddy!

Aw come on Glau, Clinton's perverted exploits are well known among those who are NOT fawning Clinton sycophantic democrats. Wake up lil feller!

Now, I do know for a fact you and your ilk will denigrate the source, but we all know that is what libs do regardless of facts.

Slick Willie a chic magnet? You are delusional my lil lib friend! His escapades of forcing himself on unwilling women are legendary. Consensual was a word not in his lexicon, with the possible exceptions of young, naive, fawning 19 year old liberal interns.

Reminds me of an incident where a really, really ugly woman goes into a bar screaming; "I have a model 1911 Colt .45 with 7 bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber, and I want to know who the b***h is that's sleeping with my husband".

The crowded bar goes deathly silent, and a soft female voice comes from the back replying 'you are going to need more ammo Hillary'!

Defend the liberal perv's all you like, but the facts speak for themselves, regardless of the source.

Exactly. Just a few days ago Shillary did a commencement speech at some lib college and she blamed the FBI, DNC, main stream media, Russia, Trump, Podesta, and pretty much anything, and everyone except herself for losing the e******n. She is one sad pitiable woman. She was the worst candidate the democrats could have ran, and yet she blames them for her loss. Priceless!

It would appear the hysterical lib hyperbole suffered a setback with the Comey hearings .
