Bummer...had to cancel my hurricane party

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small
tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, 'Is
that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?' The birch says he cannot
tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.

The birch says, 'Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if
that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?'

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, 'It is
neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the
best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into.'

Dead on...someone needs to look up the definition of a hypocrite...This "list" looks more like some mind twisting control jargon spewed by the likes of Mormons or Scientologists LOL

I would guess it depends on your I.Q.

But what would I know, my I.Q. is -100

Welcome and good luck! But be careful what you wish for

No, of course they wouldn't

Well let's be real, these soldiers were not buried in caskets and some may not have been buried at all, just left to the elements.
After over 60 years its surprising any remains are left.

I think if even 10% are actual U.S. soldiers and not North or South Koreans or even animals its still great for those families!


Having said that, I know as soon as 1 set of remains is confirmed as animal bones or not a soldier the left wing media will have a field day!

My grandfather immigrated from Ireland but I never heard him speak of religion although he changed one letter in our last name for "discrimination" reasons. My father married a devout Catholic but he just "pretended" to be Catholic I think for the sake of raising the children as my mom wanted.
Pretty strange

Three Hostages freed from N.Korea.

Now 50 Korean War MIA's return to home soil in Hawaii!



And not a penny in ransom like the last administration.

Gotta love it!

God bless the brave men and their families!

Just watch out for the sharks!

This is from CNBC (not exactly a Trump friendly network)






The Employment Cost Index, a measure of salary and benefit costs, registered a 2.6 percent gain for the full year, tied for the best since 2007, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.

That gives President Donald Trump the best wage gains since the Great Recession, easily topping any during former President Barack Obama's entire term.

President Donald Trump's first full year in office saw gains that easily outdistanced any year for his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose best showing was the 2.2 percent increases in 2016 and 2014. Six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of 2 percent or less.

Tom, I thought you were the one guy!

LMAO...yes you are correct about the little less than 3% wage growth but that is about 2.6% higher than the last 8 years!

As far as the tax breaks..Individuals(workers) get their own tax break without companies "passing it or sharing it" with their workers.
Not only did I see a reduction of taxes taken from my pay but saw the amounts credited retro actively from January put back into paycheck.

Also, a lot of companies raised wages, invested in new equipment and buildings etc.

The economy as whole is booming and every stat shows this.

Unfortunately if you watch CNN or NBC you will an expert on Stormy Daniels but not see much about what's really happening in the world.

Excellent point! In most of these "white collar" crimes like tax evasion and bank fraud, they never do a 6am raid and wouldn't need a key.
Typically they would contact him or her, tell them they have a warrant and tell them get your attorney and come to the office.

Its not like you are trying to surprise a drug dealer who might be armed etc.

They already have all the evidence from bank records, IRS filings etc.
There is nothing "normal" about this case.

And you don't think our government (FBI,CIA or NSA) couldn't get a copy of those keys?

Could be Tom, but in that case I think the agent would have known where the key came from.

First, this is court testimony, not a reporters opinion.
It also seems to be stretch that FBI agent Mikuska who was the agent in charge didn't know where the key came from. Really now, someone hands you a key and you don't ask where it came from?

As far as a "conspiracy" goes, even the judge(Judge T.S. Ellis III) handling this case and knowing the background(that it had already been investigated back in 2014) scolded Mueller's team by saying...and I quote:

"You don't really care about Mr. Manafort's bank fraud,You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment."

So depending on your definition, I think it might meet the level of a conspiracy...JMO

No word on when the key was obtained or which intelligence agency.
Could have been given to them by an ex girlfriend or someone?


Possibly Tom, but even if they got this from a ex or a friend, is that legal or ethical?

I would agree as a home owner, its certainly better then kicking down the door LOL.

It raises some serious questions though..this whole thing stinks!

Trump's last 4 quarters of GDP have averaged over 3% compared to Obama's 1.6%

GDP has a direct correlation on jobs. The more people employed. the higher the GDP.

Just few more points, lowest unemployment rate for Blacks and Hispanics in HISTORY.

Pay rates are rising at the fastest pace in over 10 years

Lowest level of unemployment claims in over a decade.

Let's not forget the over 4 million workers that got a bonus from their employers because of the tax cuts, some as high as $3000.00. (My company gave everyone a $1000.00)

In the second day of the trial of Paul Manafort, FBI special agent Matthew Mikuska, an 11-year veteran of the bureau, testified in court in Alexandria, Va., saying he was the seizing agent for the government’s search last year.

Mikuska told the jury agents knocked three times on Manafort’s door, but used a key to gain access after receiving no answer.

Mikuska said he did not know how the FBI obtained the key.

One close source to the FBI said the FBI obtained the key from an"intelligence agency".

First off, all these charges against Manafort are all related to events that took place in 2005 and the Justice Dept(Obama's) investigated all this back in 2014 and did not pursue charges.

Regardless of the these "supposed" tax crimes and even if he is found guilty of them, the tactics should scare every American.

Whether you are a Democrat, Independent or Republican the fact that the FBI had a key to open the door of Manforts condo should scare you.

What happens to your civil liberties when the government can obtain the key to your home without your knowledge or a warrant?



Mueller is corrupt and rotten to the core and is using tactics not consistent with our civil rights.
