You have misconstrued my point, rose.
I hold fealty to no party, except to my country, the US of A. I am bi-partisan–Independent–more Libertarian, if you will. I offer opinions, not solutions. I give suggedtions–yet, in the lingrun, people make their own choices–good or bad. That’s our Democracy–God help us if Socialism ever comes into play; where the government holds our very life in its hands.
I am a Trump supporter. This fact does not make me a Republican.
And, I get my news from unbiased sources, not the three typical networks of fame or ill-repute, albeit I give them the usual daily “run” to see which way the river flows.
My point is that, when the Republicans even blow their nose too loudly; it is considered life or death news–worthy of continuous litany and fabricated fallacies. They are constantly under the microscope.
Yet, when newsworthy ‘happenings’, such as discoveries found concerning the actions on the other side of the aisle, they are never discussed or scrutinized.
Eg: Lisa Page and her testimony ( yesterday) against Hillary Clinton….the chips are all falling in the right places. She spilled the beans –from Hillary’s payment to Steele for that infamous, fabled Dossier; or the fact that Obama told Lynch and crooked members of the FBI (who are no longer agents) to stand down, when the walls ( Ha!) were closing in on Hillary, to obstruction and suspicion of treason. Mammoth-sized cover-up!!!!!!
The word is MUM on the Hillary news-camp.
Do you even realize what she did? Then, blamed Donald Trump?
If the president did anything which deserves punishment; sobeit! But until then, let’s all keep our knickers on tightly!!
Omar—please feel no softeness towards her. She’s a racist; cultural and otherwise. Despicable human being. She should be more humble and thankful to God for having escaped her plight–if not simply for that reason. Her spite and revenge are directed towards the Jews? As I said, it is an innate phenomenon for the Arabs to hold such animus for the Jews……They did not take their land. Thst is another fallacy. The word Palastine did not even exist when the Jews lived on the land.
Far from me to give History lessons, but, I am sure you know this.
The Dems accept her venom as much as they accept Farrakhan’s; Obama’s buddy! Let’s not forget “Reverent” ( what a joke) Wright; who does not mince words about his hate for whites and gays.

Very well written post, rose. Amazing how, when we delve into ourselves, we are more alike than not!!
The policies ( most of them) presented by President Trump are more appealing to me than what’s thrown at me from the democratic officials. They all say the same thing, which amounts to nothing.
Now, that Beto guy jumped into the ‘ring of fire’—those hand movements are so distracting, he loses my attention. Plus, he’s parroting the same thing as all the rest—-if something is not done with the environment; in twelve years we will what? Perish? The earth will turn to mush? This is such political, fear-mongering, Rose—-Physics is my thing—-no way, no how is what he and the others are spewing true!! Not in the next multiple lifetimes. Yet, they offer no solution except to suggest what? Get rid of airplanes? That we do not need cows?…… to somehow stop cows from far****ummmm, excuse me; passing gas. I love cows–poor, poor, placid cows…
Then, DeBlasio dares to tell citizens what to eat? Fake steaks? I don’t eat meat, but, I would think that no one wants to be told what to do and what to eat and not eat. That’s the problem with democrats—they are under a cloud of delusion, where what they say is more sagacious than the “others” on the other side of the aisle. And, God-forbid if anyone dares to naysay what their full-of-hot-air decree suggests.I doubt they even believe it themselves. The average person takes this propaganda as gospel.
What’s sad for me, is that there’s yet a candidate who is up to par for me. I reseRched every single one and their pristine facades are all tainted. From Biden to Booker collective and alleged behavior.
No one is perfect….however, I do think that the reason for this malicious resentment towards Trump is strictly political. He is shaking the might corruption living in the swamp.
I appreciate discussing both sides without resorting to name calling—and, I, also, respect your thoughts, and everyone else’s.
People have lost their minds–I heard, through the grapevine, that couples actually divorced over their political stance.
As far as the Loughlin/Huffman pay to play scandal, as I indicated on another site; it is the educator who makes a difference in a student’s life, not the institution.
The only reason I attended a certain University was because of family tradition, Rose—-and because my husband ( then boyfriend) was in med-school and, also, lived in Beantown.
I worked for my grades, as you did. Again, mental discipline could be taught. My parents never gave us anything that was not merited.
They gave us a little push here and a little tweak there as encouragement….but, we siblings, had to work for every crumb.
These Hollywood parents will never understand the harm and injustice served to their own children–the girls sound shallow and superficial, thanks to shabby parenting.
I believe this was a very selfish move by the adults—-this was done to satisfy their own ego—-their need to feed that compulsion erased any hint of integrity. Keep up appearances?
