A virus is spreading throughout the world. It affects the comprehension and common sense portion of the brain and leaves its victims dumbed-down and easily herded by the propaganda masters and their political cult. Carrie’s Take strives to provide an antidote to the mind-control and hopefully will stir up memories of long ago when our society demanded truth & honesty in journalism and expected it to be the guardian of facts, rather than PR mouth pieces for self-serving politicians and their personal agendas. ~Carrie K. Hutchens
Until such time as you invite a dangerous murderer, rapist and torturer to live next door and interact with your family – I don’t want to hear your so-called moral outrage. Only then will I take your virtue signaling as anything more than “performance” safely carried out from afar.
It is suggested that some of you screaming to protect criminals from ICE are paid protesters? Outrage for a buck? Do you get paid well for your performance, or is the money just a bonus, and the real motive is to have a chance to harm and destroy?
It’s something I wonder as I watch your out-of-control anger and behavior.
Then we have the mayors and governors that get out there in front of the cameras and act like they are the crusaders for innocent victims, when the opposite is true. Yes, indeed, when they attempt to stop ICE from locating and arresting murderers, rapists, and torturers, they are creating the opportunity for more “innocent” victims. You know… “innocent” people who will then be brutally killed, raped, and/or tortured because the perps were protected by those in control and by the crowds they allow to take over the streets.
Oh, and let’s not forget the celebrities and other rich people, who dare to lecture everyone else, while having bodyguards and security to keep their world safe from the very dangerous people they are suggesting the rest of us should welcome into ours. So brave of you.
If you haven’t noticed, I don’t have much use for virtue signalers, protesters, or government officials seeking to protect the guilty. You’re so willing to sacrifice others and demand that the rest of us willingly accept the dangers you expose us to.
None of you have, nor deserve, my respect and, until such time as you invite the dangerous criminals you so readily defend to live next door to you and interact with your family – I don’t want to hear your virtual signaling. It isn’t worth the breath it blows out on, and definitely a waste of my time and yours.

The Democrats and anti-Trump forces seem to be so blinded by their hatred of the president that they have lost their ability to think coherently. What else can one think when reviewing what has been transpiring? It is so obvious. Well, obvious to those of us who are not blinded by either hatred or the wish to destroy Donald Trump simply because he is Trump and perhaps a Republican.
Hillary Clinton was quite excited when she believed a Trump Tower server was communicating with Russia & she let the world know. The question is – how did she know this was being checked into?
There was a transcript of Flynn’s discussion with the Russian ambassador. The question is – how did we find out?
For all the accusations some Democrats have been & continue making, an important factor has gone unnoticed in their little thought processors of incoherence. If there wasn’t any surveillance, how did surveillance gather the above information? (i.e. If one can only get to town by driving and they are in town – it’s a pretty sure bet they drove to town.)
Comey testified that there was no wiretap on Trump. Why didn’t he add that while there was technically no “wiretap” – Trump and/or his team had been included in “incidental collection”, unmasked and the information shared among many? He knew about it, didn’t he? He knew it was shared, didn’t he? So, why did he answer in such a way as to make it look as though Trump was lying or simply ignorant?
Attorney General Sessions was asked a long, rambling question by Sen. Franken. The short of the story – or question – was if Sessions had any contact with the Russians with regard to the campaign. He said he didn’t. However, thereafter, the Democrats accused him of lying because he had two meetings with the Russian ambassador, unrelated to the campaign, that he had failed to mention. Didn’t seem to matter that many in Congress have met with this very same ambassador. Didn’t seem to matter that some even met with Putin. Didn’t seem to matter that the question was in relationship to the campaign – Sessions should have, by their opinion, thought to say, “No, but I did meet with the ambassador in the course of my duties as senator.”
Then Senator Sessions was being questioned about the campaign – not his duties and meetings as a senator. He answered the question asked. His meetings with the ambassador were irrelevant to the issues at hand because they were not related to the campaign. Comey, on the other hand, was being questioned about Trump and/or his team being under surveillance and he knew it. He took advantage of “technical wordage”. He took advantage of Trump using the term “wiretap”, though knowing exactly what was meant and that it was relevant and specific to the question presented. In short, he intentionally misled the committee and the public. This should be of grave concern to each and every one of us. It is to me.
Additionally, why would it take so long to establish there was collusion (or not) between the Trump campaign & Russia, but so quickly be able to establish there was no surveillance on Trump & team? Why haven’t they been able to identify the person responsible for leaking material, but able to say no person was involved in Trump surveillance? Seems the only fast investigations they are able to perform is if it is an attempt to discredit the president and his team. Amazing!
After Senator Nunes gave the press conference and notified the White House of what he had learned, Schiff was upset because Nunes hadn’t shared the info with the committee first. And, now that the White House has been notified, Schiff feels there cannot be a fair hearing? Why? How does Nunes sharing the information affect the hearings? After all, the Democrats have been insisting all along that Trump, as president, could pick up the phone and obtain all this information first hand. What does it matter then that Nunes provided Trump what Trump could freely get on his own?
My personal opinion is that Trump didn’t wish to pick up the phone and ask for the information because, if he did, the Democrats and media would claim it was tainted, manipulated and completely false. Instead, I believe he simply waited for the truth to come out, as he knew it would once people started paying attention to the evidence that was readily available all along.
By whatever term is utilized – Trump and his team were obviously under surveillance. Information was gathered by some means and shared. It really doesn’t matter if it was a physical wiretap such as they had in the 1960’s or information grabbed from the sky. Somebody captured it. Somebody gathered it. Somebody shared it. Somebody leaked it. The latter of which, without question, is illegal.
Schiff & Pals try to make it all important that Trump used the word “wiretap”. When Trump clarifies he was referring to surveillance – they try to say he is walking back his allegation because he has no proof.
Schiff is upset because Senator Nunes was provided info, which he discussed at a Press Conference and then shared with the White House. If it is so important for Nunes to have shared with the committee first, why hasn’t Schiff provided the committee with the absolute proof he claims to have? And if he has absolute proof, why are they wasting time and money on an unnecessary hearing to establish what is in his possession? Might it be because he doesn’t have the proof he claims?
The Democrats seem to want one set of rules for themselves and a set of rules for people that aren’t them. And in recent years, it seems that is exactly how things have played out. Perhaps they have gotten too used to successfully bullying and are unable to comprehend that those days are over. They are making fools of themselves and doing it for all of us to see.
But I digress. (It’s easy to do, when trying to make sense out of the Democrat & media nonsense.)
The Democrats know that Jeff Sessions was asked if there was any Russian involvement in the campaign and that he answered truthfully. They know but it didn’t stop them from trying to create an illusion of dishonesty to bring him down.
Comey intentionally provided a dishonest answer to the committee and to the public. There is no way the Democrats aren’t aware of this fact, yet they are using that dishonest answer to claim Trump is the one being dishonest.
The out-of-control Democrats and media shower us every day with their little saga of incoherence. They speculate and deem it facts. They twist, spin and manipulate information and call it evidence. They tell us there was no surveillance, but surveillance may have picked up Trump & Associates in “incidental collection”. There were leaks of gathered information, but there was no surveillance, so I suppose we are to assume it poofed into someone’s possession as they happened to walk by the poof-receipt desk.
One day of fair reporting only and honest investigation would be a welcomed respite from the saga of incoherence and lock-step mindset of the out-of-control libs, their media buds & the brainwashed that blindly follow them. It might also be the shock moment that opens minds and lets the truth and rational thought back in. The day some Democrats fear most – a day President Trump keeps still another promise and the swamp gets a little less occupied!

Would you dare say that all Blacks should be wiped out? If not, why not?
Would you dare say that all Muslims should be wiped out? If not, why not?
Would you dare say that all Mexicans and others of Spanish speaking countries should be wiped out? If not, why not?
Then why do you think it is okay to call for all Jews to be wiped out?
Explain.
Give justification.
You can’t. You honestly can’t.
Hamas is not a race. It’s a group of people just as the KKK is not a race. And, it looks to me as though if so-called pro-Palestinians were actually for the Palestinians – they would be against Hamas, a group that brings them harm.
Hamas attacked and brutally killed babies and children, not to mention all the other horrendous acts they are reportedly responsible for. They brought destruction and death in Gaza. Yet, some blame Jews and Israel? Get real. Use your brains and stop falling for the propaganda play book material of terrorist and gaslighters.
If…and let’s say “if” … Israel had mistreated anyone in Gaza and Hamas fought back against the troops – that might be one thing. Going after civilians, especially babies and children, has absolutely no justification.
So, tell me again, just how you can support a GROUP that attacks, tortures, rapes and kills, such as Hamas is reported to have done?
Should Hamas decide you and yours should be wiped out because you aren’t Palestinians or didn’t support them enough or for some other reason – would you be okay with that? Would it be okay? If not, why not? You’re supporting them doing it to others. Why wouldn’t it be just as okay for them to do it to you?
People need to take back their brains and learn to think rationally again.
What is right for one is right for all. What is wrong for one is wrong for all.
In short, it would OBVIOUSLY be wrong to wipe out all Blacks, Muslims, Mexicans etc. It is just as wrong to wipe out Israel and all Jews. If you can’t comprehend that little bit of reality, YOU PEOPLE, need to get you some de-indoctrination before “Animal Farm” is a story about you and yours.
Think about it. Think about it with your own brains – not the one filled with the wrongful and hateful propaganda. You might be surprised what conclusions you come to. You might even, as already suggested, avoid being represented in the “Animal Farm” scenario. It’s up to you.
Donald J. Trump deserves to be indicted. Just ask people like Stephen King, Rob Reiner, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Nancy Pelosi, the gaslighting crew and indoctrinated puppets. On second thought, you won’t have to ask them. They’re busy trying to draw you into what appears to be their cult of, “Let’s take down Trump By Any Means Necessary.”
People may not like Trump for a variety of reasons and tell others why. That’s their right.
People may not want Trump to be president again and argue their position. That’s their right, too.
What is NOT anyone’s right is to lie about the former president, whether by outright lie, half-truths, word/phrase meaning changes, or things taken out-of-context.
What is NOT anyone’s right is to seek indictments by the above means and/or creative application of the law.
Some are laughing and carrying on about what appears to be political indictments because it is Trump. Would they be laughing and carrying on if it were they or one of their family members who had gotten on the wrong side of whoever is in power only to be the recipient of all done to Trump being done unto them?
It’s dangerous to think what is transpiring is okay “simply” because it is Trump. Think. Step back and think. Reality is… if it can happen to “one” person, it can happen to “any” person. No one is safe no matter how much one believes they or theirs are. That’s a simple truth. Grasp it.
Obviously, there was election interference in the 2020 Election. Yes, obviously. Yet, you wouldn’t know it if you listen to the liberal media and others that hate Trump. They seem to conveniently ignore anything and everything that goes against their gaslighting narrative that portrays Trump as the perpetual bad guy.
I don’t know how many times I cursed the media as I listened to them claim Trump was lying about something that I knew for an absolute fact he wasn’t lying about because I saw and heard whatever personally. How dare they call me a liar. How dare they tell the public that I was a liar or a fool if I dare defend the truth because that is what they were doing.
How many times has the media been busy gaslighting and falsely labeling when creating or defending the chosen narrative of the day, especially when it is against Trump and anyone who dare defend him because they were defending the truth – not just the man?
It – what is happening and my writing about it – is redundant.
What is happening to Trump keeps happening to Trump. Over and over and over, attempts are made to lie about the man or twist his words or actions. It’s beyond tiring. It’s beyond wrong.
I’m tired of hearing people change the meaning of words and phrases and then applying their change as if it is the absolute meaning and what someone meant and intended to mean if they use one of them.
I have a good example.
Trump once said something to the effect that Megyn Kelly had blood in her eyes. Next thing one knew, the mob of Trump haters was claiming he was talking about menstruating, etc, etc etc.
Unbelievable. That’s not what the phrase means. No relationship at all.
I, for one, know that saying. Lots of people know what it means. How many spoke up? How many shouted out the truth as loudly as the liars (or misinformed) were shouting the lie?
Few.
Why? Because it was only Trump?
People… important people in important positions… lied about Trump and Russia. It was a lie, yet some continue repeating it.
People lied about Trump mocking the disability of a reporter. He didn’t, yet the lie continues by some.
Trump was told the numbers at his inauguration were larger than Obama’s and he repeated it. He, rather than the people that told him, was called a liar. And that is just a tiny fraction of what transpired that is ignored.
Even Fox News failed to assure that the whole truth was told.
Chris Wallace showed a picture of the alleged crowd. It was apparently early in the day before everyone arrived that was coming. Another employee did state at least once that the picture was of early morning and that was it. Fox News, to my knowledge, never made Wallace correct the misrepresentation, much less apologize. His lie was allowed to stand.
Two things.
I don’t remember the channel, but one did announce at least once that the Port Authority, I believe it was, reported that Trump’s crowd was bigger than Obama’s. I remember that because I commented to someone about it.
I have searched and searched for a video of that day, but of all things one might find – guess what I couldn’t find. Something I know happened (was said), because I heard it myself, is either hidden or permanently missing.
(I didn’t know it would become so important to note the channel and reporters, or I would have readily documented it all as it happened.)
CNN, I believe it was, had a live interaction program on their site that day and I spent a great deal of time using it, while the television was also on broadcasting the event. That’s one of the reasons I knew for a fact that Wallace was giving out inaccurate information about the crowd. But as I said, I didn’t see even Fox News stand up and say, “Whoa, that’s not right.”
Of course, this only happened to Trump, so some seem to think it is perfectly okay.
I remember people, including one of Nancy Pelosi’s daughters, trying to find a way to stop Trump from being sworn in. Where are their indictments?
I remember people pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court. Where is the investigation of them and the indictments?
I could go on about things I saw and heard personally that were twisted, denied, or re-created into a narrative of lies, but who cares? It only happened to Trump. That’s right. It only happened to Trump so it’s okay. It doesn’t count as wrong. Right?
I don’t think so.
It doesn’t matter if one takes down Trump today because there is always tomorrow. There is always a day of truth that will arrive, even if not as fast as one would like. A day when the gaslighters will be outed for the liars they are. A day when the indoctrinated will realize they were wrongfully programmed or merely move on to the next mission assigned to them by their handlers. A day when the gaslighting media will either become honest or be seen as the fiction-producing programmers they are.
Yes, there will be a day when the truth steps up and refuses to be denied any longer by the masses. Until then, we are exposed to what appears to be an overwhelming crusade to take down Trump by any means necessary – even by intentional and unintentional untruths.
Some say Trump deserves to be indicted. Perhaps, instead, it is their motive, claims and reasoning that should be indicted? After all, we need to ask if we are seeing a guilty man being held accountable or dirty politics gone wild? It is essential that we find and accept the truthful answer to that question and many more. Our Constitutional Republic, well-being, and freedoms depend upon it.
Simply put, as Adrian Monk would say, “I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.”
You seem to think that “because you said” there was no widespread election fraud that would alter the outcome of the election that everyone, especially President Trump, should take your “opinion” as gospel. Well, I didn’t and I don’t.
You, Sir, apparently were aware of election interference and did nothing, right? What do you call election interference, if not a fraud upon the American people? Votes were cast based on that fraud. So, what were you saying again? There wasn’t widespread election fraud? In your dreams perhaps, but not in reality.
Trump had a right to question the election results. Bill Bar, as Attorney General of the United States, you had a duty to call for, and oversee, a fair and thorough investigation. No way did you. No way could you have done so in the brief time from accusation to your declaration. And just what was your declaration again? Well, there was fraud, just not enough to change the election results.
You, Bill Barr, try to declare yourself to be oh-so righteous and knowing. However, you, Sir, in my opinion, show yourself to be a pompous arse that demands agreement with your views or be cast into the realm of criminal or at the very least – ignorant.
Trump may or may not have lost the election, but he, and we, the American people, had, and continue to have, the right to question and demand proof the results were fair and accurate. To be accused of lying because any believe the election was not fair is an abuse of power, as well as slander and libel by those doing the accusing.
Your dislike for Trump was obvious to me. You seemed to always find fault with him. When you said, “always something” were you EVER referring to the people that were ALWAYS trying to block Trump’s efforts or take him down? What did you do when you knew those 51 were signing a letter that implied a lie? You couldn’t interfere in an election? Isn’t that exactly what you were doing with your silence?
Perhaps you don’t remember Nancy Pelosi’s daughter being involved in trying to stop Trump from being voted in and taking office, but I do. Where are the charges against her and the others that were involved?
Why is Trump the only one being charged and having to prove that either he isn’t guilty or it isn’t a crime to do whatever he did do? Why do others get a free pass to do whatever. That’s justice?
Unlike so many involved in the “get Trump by any means cult,” I happen to believe in fairness to all, including people I can’t stand. And, if I know a lie is a lie being told about someone I dislike, I step up and say so. Can you truthfully say you do?
It’s bad enough that you were aware of the election interference and allowed it to continue, but you can’t stop throwing gas on the fire, can you? You have to keep finding fault with Trump. Everything has to be his fault. It can’t be that others are abusing their office and oaths, right?
I’m ashamed for once having thought you, as attorney general, would ensure that there would be justice and fair play for all. I was obviously wrong. Think not? The treatment of President Trump is an obvious example of just how wrong I was.
In closing, I would like to say one thing that says it all.
Bill Maher calls out Chicago crime wave: Its never addressed “Real Time” host Bill Maher discussed the black-on-black crime issue plaguing cities like Chicago and criticized how it isn’t addressed by Democratic leaders.
“Real Time” host Bill Maher called out the lack of attention to high Black-on-Blackcrime rates in citiessuch as Chicago during his show on Friday.
Hosting a panel with Brown University economist Glenn Loury and international relations scholar Daniel Bessner, Maher questioned the rise in crime in major cities and why it has not been addressed.
“Like Chicago: Most of the shootings are young Black men killing other young Black men. Is that not correct?” Maher asked.
After Loury confirmed it was true, Maher continued, “Okay, much more than what the cops do. Why doesn’t anybody talk about that? Why aren’t there a hundred giant Black celebrities who would have the respect of those people saying what are you doing to yourselves? Why are you killing each other?” (Continue Reading)
Since some elected officials and others in authority seem to feel it is appropriate to take away a “level playing field” for girls in sports, let’s force them to accept the same terms for themselves. A trans will receive preferential treatment in all situations because, after all, their lives matter and apparently matter more than their non-trans peers. It is what is stated when bio females are forced to compete (?) against bio males that are by nature far stronger than the average female. Compete is a key term. Is there any fair competition when the female can only lift 75 lbs to the bio male’s 250 lbs or are the females just there in a hopeless situation?
My theory is…
If all these lib people in charge and those libs elected feel it is okay to cheat the bio girls out of their chance to compete against other bio females for scholarships and other awards – then let’s spread the favor around.
A trans person should get credit for three times the votes their non-trans liberal competition receives in elections.
A trans person should always be promoted over the non-trans liberal so they feel accepted and included.
A trans person should always receive all the awards and bonuses because they are matched only with those who have no chance in a fair competition.
Two things can be true at the same time.
One can not wish harm upon a trans person and not wish harm upon a bio female at the same time. Why should the bio-female be the only one to sacrifice opportunities, while the enlightened act as though the ones sacrificing, and their supporters, are being cruel if they dare try to address and explain the unfairness?
Again, I guess the only way to open the eyes of the so-called enlightened is to force them into like situations of sacrifice. Let them have no chance to win no matter what.
It’s one thing to want to be kind and fair to a group of people and quite another to give special treatment to a group at the unfair expense of another group.
Question…
What would your opinion be if you were to see a team of 20-year-olds playing a sport against a team of 80-year-olds? Would you think it was a “level playing field?”
Those liberals (and their indoctrinated following) in positions of authority and elected offices need to make up their minds. Either they should agree to live by the same “playing field chances” as they are forcing bio girls to live by or get busy and find another answer that is fair to the bio girls that have worked so hard to have a fair shot at the win and the rewards that come with it.
There was a time that race and gender mattered to extreme within the workings and structure of society, but not no more. It has become isolated incidents, rather than life within a white man’s world. As such, having moved so far beyond those days, it is maddening and insulting to hear women, who have failed in their positions, claim that a call for accountability on their part is merely because they are women and/or women of color in America. Are they really suggesting that women are not able and do not have to do their jobs or do them well? Really?
I am a woman that spent most of her working career in a man’s field. I never expected to be treated differently than the men I worked with. I never asked to be excused for my mistakes because, after all, I’m a woman and as a woman – I shouldn’t be held accountable. If I screwed up – I screwed up and it had nothing to do with my race or gender. It had to do with me. It had to do with me – a person – making the mistake. PERIOD!
Likewise, I am sick of being accused of being racist for no other reason than of my skin tone and that I exist. Maybe I even gave an opinion about something that a progressive disagreed with and, of course, many radical libs can’t have that. When they have no legit argument, they go into insult mode and the attempt to destroy. After all, how dare anyone not agree with them?
People should not be “excused” or “protected” or “promoted” because of their race or gender. That is, after all, suggesting that the person is incapable of success in whatever endeavor and being given a free ride. That’s an insult – not a favor.
People should not be “excused” for stealing and assaulting and killing or for over-looking all the stealing and assaulting and killing. That’s irrational – not rational.
Women, of whatever skin tone, should not expect a free ride, but rather, show they are worthy of success in whatever endeavor they pursue. And if they fail – they should accept that their failure is theirs… and not accuse others of holding them accountable just because they are women.
The childish, spoiled brat, mentally-challenged behavior our society is infested with deserves to be frowned upon. It’s time to for the games to end. It is time for accountability.
Bill Barr, you seem to be intent on telling the world how you thought President Trump was wrong in so many ways. Maybe you can take a breath and tell us, Mr. Righteous, if you investigated the allegations of election fraud and interference, how is it you were unaware of the government involvement in censorship and information suppression? How is it that you missed what certainly appears to be a coordination between government employees, the media, and social media to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story and other matters that were deemed to be a threat to the election outcome that the players and their masters apparently were striving for? You know… actual censorship of citizens by the government and actual election interference.
Personally, no matter how many times you claimed it to be, I never for a moment believed an actual investigation ever occurred. A pretend one maybe, but never a real one. It couldn’t have been done that fast and been thorough. Guess you were counting on everyone assuming you have all this integrity, so the world should just take your word. Well, I don’t take your word for anything and you have proven my feelings to be with cause.
You, former AG Bill Barr, are either utterly incompetent or were intentionally blind to what was taking place. Either way, the wrong is on you. And, the proof there wasn’t a thorough investigation is the fact you were supposedly unaware of the wrongs being done right under your nose. Doesn’t matter. Either way, you have egg on your face and I for one will be happy to point out that your pedestal is crumbling, as the wrongs come out into the light.
“One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General” by you? Your title is right. You, the libs, and many in the government have continually twisted what Trump did and said and were always looking to find something to “get him on.” He couldn’t turn around without one of you trying to claim he had done something wrong or said something wrong or maybe he just wasn’t as smooth-talking as is liked by the likes of you and your buddies. But tell us, when did Trump ever try to destroy the lives of you and your fellow Trump haters by lies and half-truths?
Another thing before I close.
You were ready to throw your opinion out there about the Mar-a-Lago raid. You, of course, took the side against Trump. So, tell us… what’s your opinion on the classified documents Biden had and where they were found? Have I missed you running to the mic to jump on that situation? Can you explain why one set of attorneys were allowed to be present during searches, but not the others? Actually, your explanation is worthless. We already know that when it comes to Trump, you are quick to find some kind of fault with him, even when it was obvious whatever was done unto him and he merely reacted in defense.
You should be ashamed.
I, for one, am quite ashamed, even if you aren’t. I’m ashamed that I once believed you were the person you pretend to be. My eyes have been opened though. As I said previously, there couldn’t have been an investigation and not discovered the election interference, information suppression, and censorship that was active right under your nose. And you know what? I’m betting it all did make a difference that changed the election results. Someday, we will know. I look forward to you eating humble pie and having to admit to the world that you were wrong in how you have treated President Trump and the citizens that were affected by the wrongs so easily carried out. Yes, I look forward to that day. May it be soon.
The House of Representatives passed a new rules package Monday that overhauls the way it functions by putting up more barriers to congressional spending and creating a more deliberate process for passing legislation, key demands of the more conservative members of the Republican Party.
The rules passed with an 220 to 213 vote that saw just one Republican, Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas, vote against it. Passage of the blueprint for how the GOP will run the House is the first sign of success for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after the fight of his life last week for the speaker’s gavel.
Changes to the rules package were negotiated up through the 11th hour as part of a deal to earn McCarthy the votes for the speaker. Pushing for those changes were Roy, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and freshman congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., who said last week at the Capitol the changes will be “transformational, and it will outlast every person in this room.”
Among other things, rules include the end of Pelosi-era proxy voting and requires members to vote in person from the House floor.
The newly-adopted rules also include a provision that allows House Freedom Caucus members to receive three of the nine seats on the House Rules Committee, which dictates the terms of how bills are brought to the floor and how they can be amended.
The package also includes a return to a “Cut-As-You-Go” policy that says legislation cannot be considered if it increases mandatory spending over a 5- or 10-year period. This “CUTGO” policy requires bills that call for new spending to find offsetting spending cuts elsewhere in the federal budget – an ambitious new curb on federal spending, part of the GOP’s effort to stop piling on trillions of dollars in new debt each year.

You annoy me and that is saying it politely and mildly. Actually, in truth, you spend a great deal of time making me furious and regretting that I saw or heard what you falsely claim. You see, I have no tolerance for gaslighters or indoctrinated puppets that are so vicious and willing to spread lies about others. BAMN is not a righteous cause. It is anything but. And if you have difficulty comprehending that to be true, perhaps you should spend some time asking yourself how you would feel if someone disagreed with you and, for no other reason than disagreeing, decided they should destroy you by any means necessary. Yes, ask yourself how you would feel if you were wrongly on the other end of it all? And while you ask yourself that question, don’t be smug and think it can’t ever happen to you, because… actually… it could.
I have come to not like a great many people, but I would NEVER lie about any of them. Nor would I stand by and let a lie about them pass, if I knew about it and had chance (means) to respond and set the record straight. That’s how it should be. A disagreement should never be won by lie and neither should an election, court case or any other situation.
Truth and honor should matter to everyone, including the radical lib, but it doesn’t seem to.
Likewise, truth and honor should definitely matter to the media that was once anointed as a special, and honored, group entrusted to hold the government accountable. However, that concept has become a joke as it – the MSM – appears to be little more than a propaganda mill for the Democrats and radical libs.
What a shame when such trusted groups become the distrusted.
To say the very least, I’m tired of the liars and especially tired of the liars calling the truth-tellers liars and trying to wrongly destroy them. It’s old. It’s time it is stopped. It’s time you, the radical libs, are held accountable for your wrongful behavior. With that said, I don’t believe you should be held accountable in a wrongful manner. I don’t suggest you should be doxxed or be cancelled or lied about to get back at you for what you have done. On the contrary, I suggest that only the truth be used to identify your wrongs and that you are treated justly.
It’s more than you have given others, but what should be given to all, including you.
May today be the day you wake up and take steps to be the honorable person you have the ability to become.
We only have one turn to live our lives here on earth. It’s something I’ve come to think a great deal about, especially when I am dwelling on all my regrets… my mistakes… and all my dreams that will never be because it is too late. And, yes – sometimes it is too late to make dreams come true.
I don’t know when life started slipping by me, but I think I was pretty young. I was always thinking “someday” I will do this or that. “Someday” I hope that I will have a chance to be or to have or to see. Yes, “someday.”
One of my dreams was to go to New York City. That’s never going to happen. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy with all the worry of violent crime that has been transpiring.
I definitely wanted to meet Whoopi Goldberg. That’s before I was stuck in a hospital waiting room with no control over the TV and saw her hatefulness and intolerant political stance on The View. Turns out she was nothing like the person I had imagined her to be. That was indeed a devastating moment.
Bruce Springsteen was another one that let me down. His attitude towards the non-radical liberal burst the bubble of the person I thought he was and gave him one less fan to claim.
Thank goodness that I never wanted to meet Stephen King, cause that man and couldn’t stand to be in the same room with each other more than a second. I know because he has popped up on my Twitter feed more than a few times and it wasn’t pretty. Did you know that he worried about Donald Trump not serving in the military, while not serving either? Well, if he did – I couldn’t find any record of it. Know what I call that? A hypocrite who should stick to writing fiction, rather than trying to create a fiction attitude about someone he disagrees with.
Speaking of Donald Trump…
I’d love to meet President Trump, but that is never going to happen either. Maybe someday he’ll send me a note saying “hi” but I’ll not hold my breath. He’s a busy man fighting to Make America Great Again despite all those that are trying to take him down so he can’t take part in such a wondrous movement that he inspired and worked/is working so hard to make happen.
James Woods is another that didn’t let me down. He used to follow me on Twitter and I actually got to tweet a bit with him. Twitter ended that following, as it did many others for many others.
On a bright note…
I said something to upset Cher. I didn’t know she was reading my tweets, until she jumped me. Well, I had enough, so I blocked her. How dare I. Numerous followers of Cher attacked me for daring to disrespect their queen. She, and they, cared that I – a nobody – blocked her? Okay.
(If you are wondering – yes, I blocked her followers, too.)
Yes, I regret that the New York City I dreamed of visiting no longer exists.
I regret that Whoopi and Bruce are not the people I thought them to be, therefore destroying one more dream. But there is more and it is closer to home.
A screenplay writer/producer/director was in town on personal matters and needed someone to type revisions on a script. I was lucky enough to get the job. And, while I typed – he read some of my work. He liked it. He offered me a job. I’d learn the art of screenplays, making movies and attempt to make his screenplays into novels.
I was excited.
My late husband said, “No.” He said that if I went, I went alone. He told me that he could get custody of the children because it would be a new and unproven job in a state I had no ties to. I believed him. I was young. I was stupid. However, I never got the chance to accept or decline the job offer, because it was made by a man that believed in family. Once he found out that my husband would not agree – the offer was rescinded. It was the last time in my life that I would ever have such a chance.
The rest of my life from then to now has been a series of “maybe someday”… somedays that never came and now never will.
I’ll never be the writer I wished to be. I’ve lost most of what I once had and the world has changed too much to care about what I have to say.
It isn’t just that, though that is reason enough, in my book, for a big pity party.
I’ve spent most of my life stuck in survival mode and effort, with all my dreams always shoved behind the stove, not just on the back burner. There have been a few exceptions. Writing for the Dakota Voice and American Clarion (thanks to Bob Ellis) are among them. I even had chance to briefly be a part of writing a few songs and seeing a singer/musician get his music out there. Then the bulb went out and back to all dreams on hold – this time forever.
I’ve wished I could go back and undo parts of my life and imagined how wondrous things could have been if only I could. But I can’t. Nobody can. We only get one turn, no matter how much we wish for an extra one or a redo. So, my advice is to live a good and unselfish life, but one that remembers you a bit, too. As I said, we only get one turn – make the best of yours. I wish I had.
The Democrats and anti-Trump forces seem to be so blinded by their hatred of the president that they have lost their ability to think coherently. What else can one think when reviewing what has been transpiring? It is so obvious. Well, obvious to those of us who are not blinded by either hatred or the wish to destroy Donald Trump simply because he is Trump and perhaps a Republican.
Hillary Clinton was quite excited when she believed a Trump Tower server was communicating with Russia & she let the world know. The question is – how did she know this was being checked into?
There was a transcript of Flynn’s discussion with the Russian ambassador. The question is – how did we find out?
For all the accusations some Democrats have been & continue making, an important factor has gone unnoticed in their little thought processors of incoherence. If there wasn’t any surveillance, how did surveillance gather the above information? (i.e. If one can only get to town by driving and they are in town – it’s a pretty sure bet they drove to town.)
Comey testified that there was no wiretap on Trump. Why didn’t he add that while there was technically no “wiretap” – Trump and/or his team had been included in “incidental collection”, unmasked and the information shared among many? He knew about it, didn’t he? He knew it was shared, didn’t he? So, why did he answer in such a way as to make it look as though Trump was lying or simply ignorant?
Attorney General Sessions was asked a long, rambling question by Sen. Franken. The short of the story – or question – was if Sessions had any contact with the Russians with regard to the campaign. He said he didn’t. However, thereafter, the Democrats accused him of lying because he had two meetings with the Russian ambassador, unrelated to the campaign, that he had failed to mention. Didn’t seem to matter that many in Congress have met with this very same ambassador. Didn’t seem to matter that some even met with Putin. Didn’t seem to matter that the question was in relationship to the campaign – Sessions should have, by their opinion, thought to say, “No, but I did meet with the ambassador in the course of my duties as senator.”
Then Senator Sessions was being questioned about the campaign – not his duties and meetings as a senator. He answered the question asked. His meetings with the ambassador were irrelevant to the issues at hand because they were not related to the campaign. Comey, on the other hand, was being questioned about Trump and/or his team being under surveillance and he knew it. He took advantage of “technical wordage”. He took advantage of Trump using the term “wiretap”, though knowing exactly what was meant and that it was relevant and specific to the question presented. In short, he intentionally misled the committee and the public. This should be of grave concern to each and every one of us. It is to me.
Additionally, why would it take so long to establish there was collusion (or not) between the Trump campaign & Russia, but so quickly be able to establish there was no surveillance on Trump & team? Why haven’t they been able to identify the person responsible for leaking material, but able to say no person was involved in Trump surveillance? Seems the only fast investigations they are able to perform is if it is an attempt to discredit the president and his team. Amazing!
After Senator Nunes gave the press conference and notified the White House of what he had learned, Schiff was upset because Nunes hadn’t shared the info with the committee first. And, now that the White House has been notified, Schiff feels there cannot be a fair hearing? Why? How does Nunes sharing the information affect the hearings? After all, the Democrats have been insisting all along that Trump, as president, could pick up the phone and obtain all this information first hand. What does it matter then that Nunes provided Trump what Trump could freely get on his own?
My personal opinion is that Trump didn’t wish to pick up the phone and ask for the information because, if he did, the Democrats and media would claim it was tainted, manipulated and completely false. Instead, I believe he simply waited for the truth to come out, as he knew it would once people started paying attention to the evidence that was readily available all along.
By whatever term is utilized – Trump and his team were obviously under surveillance. Information was gathered by some means and shared. It really doesn’t matter if it was a physical wiretap such as they had in the 1960’s or information grabbed from the sky. Somebody captured it. Somebody gathered it. Somebody shared it. Somebody leaked it. The latter of which, without question, is illegal.
Schiff & Pals try to make it all important that Trump used the word “wiretap”. When Trump clarifies he was referring to surveillance – they try to say he is walking back his allegation because he has no proof.
Schiff is upset because Senator Nunes was provided info, which he discussed at a Press Conference and then shared with the White House. If it is so important for Nunes to have shared with the committee first, why hasn’t Schiff provided the committee with the absolute proof he claims to have? And if he has absolute proof, why are they wasting time and money on an unnecessary hearing to establish what is in his possession? Might it be because he doesn’t have the proof he claims?
The Democrats seem to want one set of rules for themselves and a set of rules for people that aren’t them. And in recent years, it seems that is exactly how things have played out. Perhaps they have gotten too used to successfully bullying and are unable to comprehend that those days are over. They are making fools of themselves and doing it for all of us to see.
But I digress. (It’s easy to do, when trying to make sense out of the Democrat & media nonsense.)
The Democrats know that Jeff Sessions was asked if there was any Russian involvement in the campaign and that he answered truthfully. They know but it didn’t stop them from trying to create an illusion of dishonesty to bring him down.
Comey intentionally provided a dishonest answer to the committee and to the public. There is no way the Democrats aren’t aware of this fact, yet they are using that dishonest answer to claim Trump is the one being dishonest.
The out-of-control Democrats and media shower us every day with their little saga of incoherence. They speculate and deem it facts. They twist, spin and manipulate information and call it evidence. They tell us there was no surveillance, but surveillance may have picked up Trump & Associates in “incidental collection”. There were leaks of gathered information, but there was no surveillance, so I suppose we are to assume it poofed into someone’s possession as they happened to walk by the poof-receipt desk.
One day of fair reporting only and honest investigation would be a welcomed respite from the saga of incoherence and lock-step mindset of the out-of-control libs, their media buds & the brainwashed that blindly follow them. It might also be the shock moment that opens minds and lets the truth and rational thought back in. The day some Democrats fear most – a day President Trump keeps still another promise and the swamp gets a little less occupied!
I don’t care if people accuse me of being pro-cancel culture. It is, after all, the least of what I have been called over the past few years by the gaslighters and indoctrinated puppets that fail to use the brains God gave them, as a tool to process and conclude based on reality, rather then “as told to.”
I used to willingly watch various shows on Fox News, such as “The Five,” “Outnumbered” and “Greg Gutfeld.” Now I only willingly watch Tucker and Greg’s show, if I watch anything at all. Why? Because I do not like liars. I do not care to listen to them or watch their stupid facial features meant to call the other person’s comments untrue. Or, how about the Richard Fowler types that take over the segment with their interrupting, talking over everyone and just downright being rude? I don’t need it.
I have often said – and definitely mean – that it is one thing to have differing opinions presented and quite another to allow lies to be spouted and unchecked by people who insist on finishing their incorrect and untrue comments. And there you have it… this is why I won’t watch my once favorite shows on Fox News. Too many Libs get by with repeating over and over and over – things that aren’t true, especially about, but not limited to, Trump and/or his supporters.
I’m not over-protective of President Trump. I have no hesitation to call him out, if he has done or said something wrong. However, as we all know (or at least those of us that think with our own brains), Trump is always blamed for everything and then some by the MSM & other Trump haters, even when he hadn’t a thing to do with it or NEVER SAID WHAT THEY SAY HE SAID.
I can’t stand liars and do not associate with them in real time. Why would I waste my time in front of a television listening to them and watching those eye-rolls, smirks and shaking heads? I wouldn’t and I don’t and I won’t.
It’s one thing for Fox News, for example, to have Libs or anti-Trumpers on to provide the opposing view-point, but quite another to allow distortions that amount to lies. Fox News should have a rule that only the truth is allowed and if caught lying – the person will be suspended, until they can control their urge to lie about those on the other side of the aisle, including President Trump.
If Libs think my opinion makes me a hypocrite and part of the “cancel culture” – so be it! I don’t care. As a matter of fact, I’ll proudly claim to be a member of the “Cancel Lies & Propaganda Culture!” It is, after all, a culture worth developing and being a part of!
It’s difficult for me to understand how people who fight for justice for themselves or others, can then find it acceptable for someone else to be treated unjustly and lied about? But that is what I see too often transpiring.
In my lifetime, I’ve spent a great deal of energy fighting for others, especially underdogs that seemed to be standing alone against the powerful or at least more powerful than they. Sometimes I was directly involved in the cases and other times, I was merely someone striving to get the truth out and the attention of others, who were in a position to fight the particular injustice.
No matter my part, big or small, I was all in on fighting against whatever the injustice was.
I’ve seen innocent people look totally guilty. Likewise, I have seen guilty people look totally innocent. Appearance can be absolutely deceiving and often are – especially in today’s insane world, where deceit is accepted if applied to those not agreeing or somehow in the way. You know, like President Trump. The man who has often been in the way of what so many have wanted.
I don’t know how many times I have heard people say that Trump lied about things that he did not lie about. It was a lie that he lied. In short, numerous times, I have asked people to name the lies they are accusing President Trump of. Each time, there has either been a response of silence or an allegation of something not true or something he said or did that was taken out of context to give the appearance of something not true.
Yet, some don’t care.
Some don’t care the President has been lied about or treated unfairly because they don’t like him. The latter supposedly makes it okay. But it doesn’t.
No one should be treated unfairly or lied about. If it is wrong – it is wrong no matter who does it or who it is done to. Liking the person or being the person is, or should be, irrelevant if we truly believe in justice for anyone, including self.
In addition to some thinking it is okay to lie about Trump – it’s amazing how so many are saying there isn’t any evidence to support the Trump Team’s claims without their own evidence that there is no evidence. These people simply throw their allegations out there – without evidence – with the expectation that their word is all that is necessary. In a sense, they are right.
Many people only hear news from media that is hostile to President Trump. Media that doesn’t share much, if anything, that is ever positive involving him. Therefore, there are many things those viewers aren’t aware of. As a result, too many too often get dug in and ready to believe anything bad said about Trump and refuse to listen to anything that challenges those beliefs.
I had some contacts that I thought the world of. I would have sworn that their integrity was beyond reproach and nothing could ever shake it. Then came Trump and the hatred of him. Sadly, I watched some become everything I believed they could never be – liars.
Then there are those people, who were treated wrongly, who now seem to think being treated wrongly is wrong, unless it is President Trump, of course. Somehow, in their minds, he is fair game because they have believed all the lies about him and failed to see all he has done for them. They just believe what they were fed, while fighting to get the courts and supporters to not believe all the non-truths involved in their case or the case of someone they were fighting for.
Amazing.
Court decisions are not always right or fair.
Investigations are not always thorough, whether by intent or by obstacles blocking those in pursuit of the truth.
Truth assertion is claimed by propaganda artists and truth-tellers alike.
Not all is as it seems.
Major media is not necessarily your friend providing truthful information. Sometimes… some of them… are nothing more than gaslighters leading you to where they, and their masters, wish you to be, so you can be controlled and think what they want you to think, as obviously they have done with many.
This election should concern us.
Perhaps you were for Joe Biden, but do you really want him to win if he has only won by lying and cheating by any? If your answer is yes, will you feel it is okay for the next person to win that way as well – especially if it is not a person you are for? Or, is it only okay if it is done to Trump and your person always wins?
Biden may have won. How do we know though, as things have and are transpiring? How can we trust an election that has had Trump votes given to Biden and all the other irregularities? Shouldn’t we want our elections to be on the up and up? Shouldn’t we want to know? Shouldn’t we want to be assured we were right and our vote was, and always is, counted accurately?
Yes, this election, and many other things, should concern us all.
We should never give the stamp of approval for lying and cheating no matter who it is done to or who it is done by. Truth and justice only exists when we demand truth and justice for all – including those we don’t even particularly like. And, yes, that includes President Trump.

I’ve met some gaslighters throughout my life-time, but never in the abundance found in present day society. It’s overwhelming. It’s maddening. It’s enough to make a pacifist go ballistic and not so gently put some faces (along with the bodies) in a corner for a major forced time-out.
Oh, and those little indoctrinated puppets that think they are so very smart and righteous make a polite person want to scream all those words we thought we would never use.
Who raised those brats who have no impulse control and think they have some special right to kick people in the head (attempted murder in my book) and not have anyone fight back? Who taught them that it was pure and good to run in packs in search of a helpless victim to viciously beat, stomp and kick without mercy?
The feral monsters roaming the streets looking for prey have lost their way – if ever they had it to begin with. They are nothing more than a plague the masters have released upon society to cause a chaos they blame on the opposition… a chaos they claim they can save us from.
It’s all a game.
A dirty game.
A game only the dishonest and vicious would instigate.
The masters have no conscience, as they seek power and more power and even that isn’t enough – they must have the ultimate power to control all people and all things at all times.
The indoctrinated have no clue.
It’s said quite frequently that Trump supporters are a cult, which would suggest that they mindlessly follow him with no thought of their own. How wrong those are who say it and those who believe it. Trump supporters are not of “one mind” or “one thought” and definitely not into “talking points” such as seen on MSM, where it seems everyone is following the same script hour after hour, day after day.
Nope! You aren’t going to see Trump supporters parroting talking points like good little puppets. They think and talk for themselves – obviously so.
I’ve never seen or heard of Trump supporters stopping traffic, pulling someone out of the vehicle, beating the heck out of them and kicking the person in the head for the heck of it, but I have seen the feral monsters of the Left do so and so have you, if you follow the chaos on the internet.
All that violence is from the Left… allowed by the Left… and protected by the Left.
(Who encourages them… allows them to do… and bails them out after they have?)
MSM spews the lie that the rioters are the victims (or champions of same) and we are all to blame, and therefore, by insinuation, if not direct claim, that we deserve the violence, destruction, injury and even death at the hands of these so-called victims, aka champions.
BS
Yes, that is right.
I call BS, as you should.
I call it as I should, as you should, as every normal and law-abiding person should.
The feral monsters are obviously physically dangerous and meant to terrify the population. There seems to be no reasoning with them, once they have their sights on a chosen victim.
Then there are the indoctrinated puppets that get on Twitter, for example, and proclaim they are all knowledgeable and everyone else that doesn’t agree with them are ignorant racist Trump-supporting Walmart shoppers who probably live in trailers and don’t have degrees, because after all, that is what they are told the opposition either is or to accuse them of that anyways. Alinsky tactics come to mind, as well they should.
The latter indoctrinated puppets are quite dangerous in their own way.
While the feral monsters are meant to gain power and conquer the population by fear, the latter indoctrinated puppets are used for mind control, so to speak.
They sound smart and in control.
They lie.
They say lies well.
They toy with peoples’ minds.
They are gaslighters-in-waiting.
They may not even have a clue they were gaslighted.
Maybe they do.
What they don’t do is refer to history or even current events about how this story has played out elsewhere and will play out here, if they win the game.
They “think” they will be the winners.
Wrong!
They are only tools… only a means. They are/were never meant to be anything more, should the Left win this battle of the souls. After all, there are only a few slots at the top of the power grab and only a select few were ever intended to occupy them.
Think a puppet would be given one of those precious slots?
I hate gaslighters and indoctrinated puppets.
(Did I say that already?)
Both try to convince you truth is a lie and lie is a truth.
One is trying to redefine truth into what they say it is for the purpose of taking control. The other is a fool that has fallen for all the gaslighting and is nothing more than a tool to be tossed aside, should the gaslighter win the game.
The irony…
Only a few slots exist in a realm of dictatorship.
(Did I say that already?)
Not all gaslighters get a slot either, but I guess they haven’t figured that out yet.
I enjoy knowing that I am far smarter than the puppet, since I think for myself, rather than think what someone feeds me to think.
I enjoy being smarter than a gaslighter as well. I don’t need to make others think they are crazy, so I can win by forcing wrongful thoughts and illusions upon them.
I enjoy not having to chase people down and beat them to death, or near death, for the lack of impulse control and whatever else creates such feral monsters that I am not.
I hate gaslighters and indoctrinated puppets.
Oh yes, I do.
I’m ready for sanity and law and order to return and put them out of business.
Until such time as you invite a dangerous murderer, rapist and torturer to live next door and interact with your family – I don’t want to hear your so-called moral outrage. Only then will I take your virtue signaling as anything more than “performance” safely carried out from afar.
