ITEM 1: Insider reported, “U.S. troops are making their way to the coast of Israel as the US continues to reiterate its support for the Middle Eastern country, CNN reported. A defense official who spoke with the outlet said a rapid response force of 2,000 US Marines and sailors is headed toward the coast of Israel. It is unclear if this team would join the heavily armed U.S. Navy carrier strike groups sent to the Mediterranean country's coast on Sunday.”
Item 17: My oldest son is one of those 2000 Marines and sailors. What happened to the 11 Marines, 1 Navy corpsman and 1 Army soldier during the Afghanistan debacle reminds me of what our sick government really thinks of our beautiful brave young men and women. I am praying for their safe return.
Over a 24-year Naval career, I carried many, many Marines to the far-off corners of the world. I've never met a group of people who were so consistently worthy of respect. Semper Fi.
My prayers are always for our brave sons and daughters keeping the flame of liberty from being extinguished by tyrants both foreign and unfortunately more and more of the domestic variety. Semper Fi salute to your son.
Thank You for your son’s service! May God protect him and all other military personnel! A big Thank You
to all others and their sons and daughters who are currently active, on reserve or who served in all branches. All of the above are loyal patriots. Not so the commander in thief and many of the Joints Chiefs and others so called leaders if our current military.
Thank you all. I am tearing up as I read all your comments. I know my son, like everyone in our armed forces signed up for the job and swore an oath to do what our country asks of them. I wish he wasn't over there, but I know he'll do his duty and have his brother's backs no matter what. We certainly missed him at my father's 80th birthday party yesterday as he was the only grandchild who was absent.
Byron Donalds Enters the Ring — First Black Speaker of the House?
Byron and Hakeem duking it out to be a history maker. Is mine bigger than yours? 221 being on record as Republicans or racists. I withdraw my idea of Jordan nominating the Donald and making them vote. There are 9 Republicans. With a 100% Conservative voting record. Byron is one of them. The others are Gosar, Biggs, Good, Roy, Bishop, Boobart(sp), Rosendale, and MTG.
I've been hoping for Byron from the get-go!!! Republicans electing the first black Speaker of the House - ohhhhh how the media will writhe in agony how to ignore THAT news!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm a die-hard believer in blacks are the leaders God is raising up to be the tip of the spear. I wonder if Don remembers my overjoyed welcome back to Twitter of @gatornation? Feel free to chime in.
"ITEM 27: The House ended its second week without a Speaker... Now Byron Donalds is going to go for it."
EXCELLENT!
"ITEM 8... 'RFK Jr. comes out in favor of reparations, carving out lane to Biden’s left. And to prove it, he forfeited his inheritance to the cause."
I've been waiting for the real RFK Jr. to show up, all the time astonished that people couldn't remember all the off-the-wall (euphemism) crap he was pushing...
Just remember, after his father was assassinated, his mother lodged all the kids in a WDC suburban mansion and let them run amok for years. Hence what we've seen in the past in the Kennedy families and now, this reparations garbage.
"ITEM 13... 'Sidney Powell pleads guilty in case over efforts to overturn Trump’s Georgia loss and gets probation.' "
She WILL be on probation --- for the rest of her life, for being a RAT FINK.
"ITEM 15: Joe Biden lost face in his Middle East visit."
He now looks like cult mass-murderer Marshall Applewhite (1997):
You also remember that as well, eh?* What a load of spit that whole thing was. Everytime I see a hockey score involving the same-named team, I am reminded of this despicable person. Another bad Trump hire, I must admit (his Achilles heel).
[*]On a related note, I had the pleasure of meeting a librarian in Rhinecliff NY this week, and by accident I discovered that we might be the only two people on earth who remember (and we're STILL angry) how Simon And Schuster never apologized for defrauding the public by publishing Steven Ambrose's stolen words (S.A. is the all time American plagiarist. No one even comes close).
I was doing some research last night. Around midnight, a pop up on my screen said that Don liked my comment. Unbelievable. The guy must never sleep. Got me thinking how much I enjoy his brilliant wit, withering sarcasm, and the occasional pun. A man fell into a giant vat of coffee and drowned. His wife said 'he didn't suffer. It was instant'.
I was his first Founding Member. I was in a dark place for a while, and I downgraded. But the sun came out again, and I am once more a proud Founding Member.
If I can do it, you can do it. It's a small price to pay for sharing our thoughts, prayers, opinions, likes, ideas, snarks, and a few essays. It's only Bidenbucks, and we never get ratioed. Be nice to show Don how much we appreciate him. Go Blue.
I'm really just jealous because my Golden Gophers' coach is better suited to Pop Warner than he is to the Big (Eighteen members, but who's counting? Arithmetic and math are racist, anyway) Ten.
Agree wholeheartedly on the membership idea. I still participate on the Ldot site (where I first heard there WAS a Surber). But I don't think her remaining son is doing as good a job as the son who died before she did.
So right-I used to pay attention to Jonah till 2018: “What bothers me, and what I think is so corrupting of conservatism and of the Republican Party, is that we are hardwired evolutionarily to resist the idea that our leaders are bad people.”
I used to always do as I was told. Follow directions, salute the flag, be nice, tell the boy next door you're sorry you hit him because he could not hit you back. etc., etc. My sister and I learned how to slam the door without making a sound. Took talent.

Mazel Tov you two. We can only see the future when we are blessed enough to have Children and Grandchildren. The onus is on us as GrandParents to stay healthy enough, long enough to influence them…
Grandparent Joke.
Q. Why do GrandParents and GrandChildren get along so well?
My son's favorite name for the other parent's weekend was Hostage Negotiations. I graduated high school in 1960 and I did not know but one person who didn't have a Mom and Dad at home. He father had died in Japan in the war.
TEM 16: Trending Views reported, “Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has signed an executive order banning woke anti-women words in Arkansas government documents, particularly revolving around gender-based terminology. You know, stupid terms like pregnant person.”
She also signed a law making it illegal for foreign countries to buy or own land in Arkansas, forcing China to sell back the farmland it has acquired there.
Mama Cass may have been the more decent member of that singing group. John Phillips repeatedly raped his own daughter MacKenzie while mother Michelle kept mum. I stopped listening to them long ago when I learned of this.
Her and Karen Carpenter. Helen Reddy and Aretha Franklin. Add Ray Charles and my list is complete, for the 45 rpm era. Not totally accurate but good enough.
I think that there exists confusion here as to Twiggy and LuLu. Alexa the non-existent woman gets my vote (!). All the sane ones are voting for Petula Clark (who is still with us at the age of 90).

#1 - "The Supreme Court on Friday took up Missouri v. Biden..."
SCOTUS stayed a lower court decision against the government, which then appealed to SCOTUS. They are now pondering this major, major issue. You watch; they'll delay, delay, delay to avoid actually ruling on the massive government censorship campaign. SCOTUS absolutely hates solving problems. Instead, they come out with the narrowest of decisions that only chip off a little piece of the issue, leaving plaintiffs to suffer years longer before the case ends up at SCOTUS again only to have another tiny piece chipped off. These are perilous times, requiring SCOTUS to step up and save the republic by doing their damned job and deliver complete, problem-solving decisions, not their usual microscopic, blameless partial decisions. Meanwhile, in this case, because of the stay, the DC cartel is free to continue their censorship jamboree. Can you tell I'm pissed?
re. your take on Biden's "support" for Israel, let's not rush to judgment. Biden's history, as well as that of the Obama administration governing his administration, suggests the possibility if not likelihood of a major betrayal of Israel in the works.
ITEM 10 At least the Europeans are smart because they’re bringing in so many highly skilled caring educated individuals who want to assimilate into European culture. Oh wait, they brought in the Arabs not the Jews. That’ll work out well.

SEMPER FI and a whole lot of love!
God go with your son and his companions. We had a fast trak battalion stationed on my A/C school base. We always prayed when they got deployed.
Amen and Godspeed.
God bless you and your son

Love Donalds! He would run rings around the demonicrats and RINOs and the optics of all of them voting against the black guy would be consequential.
I've been hoping for Byron from the get-go!!! Republicans electing the first black Speaker of the House - ohhhhh how the media will writhe in agony how to ignore THAT news!! 🤣🤣🤣
Nah...they'll ignore it...he'll be portrayed as not truly black.
Or ignore that he's black and call him a white supremacist.
Haha! And he's even darker in color than light-skinned Hakeem Jeffries.
Doesn't really matter a bit to us, but is a hard thing for the race-identity-obsessed Democrats to overlook.

#28. He won without the backing of the republican governors association. They refused to back him after Trump endorsed him.
As for killing liberals, just cut the food stamp program and the national endowment for the arts.

May I add ... The difference between a terrorist and a 2 year old? You can negotiate with a terrorist.

Sarah shows more balls than 99% of repub pols.
She is as we say over here in Tennis Shoe, sump'n else!
Rock star used to be my favorite energy drink.
No jokes about Mama Cass, please (okay, maybe a few). But she was an awesome singer and entertainer and died way too young.
If only she could have shared half of that Reuben sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they both might still be alive...
Nothing will ever top this comment. Nothing.
The Mamas and the Papas made fun of Cass.
From Creeque Alley:” And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass”.
She was a great singer.
Mama Cass may have been the more decent member of that singing group. John Phillips repeatedly raped his own daughter MacKenzie while mother Michelle kept mum. I stopped listening to them long ago when I learned of this.
Aw dagnab and double dogs! Another cause for a Cancel Culture. I should have been reading Photoplay instead of religious tomes.
Glad I didn't know that back then; I may have had to start a Cancel Culture all my own!!
Her and Karen Carpenter. Helen Reddy and Aretha Franklin. Add Ray Charles and my list is complete, for the 45 rpm era. Not totally accurate but good enough.
Mama Cass was a better singer than Twiggy
I think that there exists confusion here as to Twiggy and LuLu. Alexa the non-existent woman gets my vote (!). All the sane ones are voting for Petula Clark (who is still with us at the age of 90).
Nah, I just wanted to point out the obvious, when Don pointed out the obvious " Twiggy was a model and Mama Cass was not"
She would have been for "Victoria's Fatso's"!
Finally: I feel certain Don’s granddaughter won’t have him wrapped around her tiny fingers. 😉
Congrats Don and Lou Ann.
Yes, she will...😁
I may have to bet against those odds. It has always seems like an 8 pound baby can get grown people to do their bidding--willingly!
Hahaha. She'll be wrapped around that finger so tight she'll tie a bow.
