The Democrat Party In America Has Progressed From Communism To Fascism
Maybe that's the real reason why they call themselves "progressives." Fascism... "characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy." Sound familiar?
Conservative speakers attacked and banned from college campuses by the left, a platform that creates an all powerful big government that dictates everything from what you can and cannot eat, drive, wear, use for energy, what schools your kids can and cannot go to, what kind of healthcare you can and cannot have, how much money you can and cannot have, what you can and cannot say, who has the right to be born and who doesn't, what means you can and cannot have to defend yourself and your family, right down to what toilet paper you can use and what kind of toilet you have to have. DEMOCRATS WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. The ONLY thing they care about is getting into power so that they can FORCE you to live they way they dictate.
It was Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist who said that If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself. Is this not the Democrat controlled mainstream media today?
And it was also Goebbels who said that you should accuse the other side of that which you are guilty. This is a favorite tactic of the Democrats in the United States today.
They accused President Trump of "Russian collusion." But it was THE DEMOCRATS who bought and paid for the salacious fake "dossier" in collusion with the Russians and used it to try to rig the 2016 presidential election and overthrow President Trump after elected.
They accused President Trump of "abuse of power," but it is THE DEMOCRATS who are abusing their power. They are using congress as a political weapon to undo the will of the American electorate, and sabotage the president.
They accused President Trump of "obstruction of Congress," and violating the Constitution but it is THE DEMOCRATS who are obstructing Congress and violating the Constitution even at this very moment while they make a mockery of the impeachment process and Pelosi violates her duty to turn over the impeachment to the Senate.
The Democrats have become the worst kind of threat to democracy everywhere. Their tactics are straight out of the playbooks of Karl Marx and Joseph Goebbels. It's hard to tell whether they have become a Soviet style communist party or a Nazi style fascist party, but either way Americans will allow them to seize power at their own peril.

CAN HOT CHILI PEPPERS REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF VASCULAR DISEASE?*
"Researchers followed 23,000 people in Italy for eight years and found that those who ate chili peppers at least four times a week had a 40% lower risk of death from heart attack and a more than 50% lower risk of death from stroke. - 4 days ago"

I heard this reported on radio news (Coast to Coast AM
plug) a couple days ago.
I'm LUVVIN' on the hot peppers
... 
Four times a WEEK??
Hell! I prob'ly eat four servings of the stuff per MEAL - starting with breakfast.
Crystal® Louisiana Hot Sauce ( shameless plug) is the New Ketchup & great as salad dressing. 
Da Bomb - Beyond Insanity® ( ditto) Habañero Sauce is a special treat 
Anyway -
It was good hearing that SOMETHING out there that folks enjoy ain't gonna kill 'em & might do 'em good
I calculated it out ...
Averaging out four servings/week & at the rate I eat 'em - I'm gonna live another 200 years.
Minimum!!

Too much paper down the pipe...
It must have been last year when I flushed too much paper (among other things) down the toilet and clogged the entire sewer pipe. I bought a 50 foot plumbing snake and lots of drain cleaning chemicals to get the pipe open again. Doing the work manually took a few hours but the job was done. A few weeks ago the plumbing back-up happened again. I tried for 30 minutes with the snake. Having no luck and not wanting to fight with it, we left Miami for the condo and put off the project for the following weekend.
I decided to rent a 75 foot power feed unit from Home Depot. This thing was pathetically slow and I got about 60 feet into the drain line and it was still clogged. Setting the power feed to retract the coil jammed the mechanism and it would not retract. A call to Home Depot and they told me to wrap the coil as best as I can. I had to pull the coil out by hand (with rubberized gloves) and at the end of the snake was a chunk of 'something' that I originally thought was a clog of hair! Close observation revealed it was thin long roots. There are no trees in the area where the underground pipes travel. I know the old drain pipes are made from clay/pottery in sections about 6 feet long and the joints were sealed with tar. Over the years, the ground settles and water seeps into the soil. That's what attracts roots to grown to the water source and enter the pipes usually cracking them if this goes on for any length of time. So, I knew the reason as the paper (and poo) snagged on it's way to Washington D.C.
Using a few feet of copper wire wrapping I was able to get the coil around the outside of the machine and back to the store. They were nice to allow more time for the rental and gave me another machine that had a power feed at least 10 times faster than the broken one. We got back to the project and this time I added a cutter head attachment that's designed to shave off roots inside the pipe. The company who hires out to clean drains with a drain auger is Roto-Rooter. This is similar only cheaper as I'm doing it myself.
Less than 30 minutes with the new machine cleaned the clog. I ran it back and forth several times to be sure to scrape away as much of the roots as possible.
This weekend I gave it the ultimate 'poo down the pipe' test and all went well.
No worries!

Strengthened By Democrat's Impeachment Scandal Republicans Set New All Time Fundraising Record
I don't know whether to give President Trump the credit or Democrats the credit, but whoever gets the credit this is the most motivated and unified the Republican party has been at least since President Reagan was in office. While three Democrats voted against impeachment, not a single Republican voted for it. The Republican Party is unified as never before in modern times as the Democrats are beginning to crumble like a cake in the rain.
Uh oh. Trump is in trouble again. This time from part of his (former) base.
Yesterday in Christianity Today;
Repent sinner ! You have allowed yourself to be used by a devil-like scammer
and fooled by Russian publicists successfully convincing you, that Trump was a better choice.
They misled you to believe that lies were the truth and the truth was lies.
Do research from REPUTABLE sources !
Have no faith in those who spout lies and shoot messengers, rather than intelligently discuss issues
without such horrid behavior. Use your brain !

Trump Should Be Removed from Office
Mark Galli December 19, 2019
...the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.
The reason many are not shocked about this is that this president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration. He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals. He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused.
.... We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath. The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president’s moral deficiencies for all to see. This damages the institution of the presidency, damages the reputation of our country, and damages both the spirit and the future of our people. None of the president’s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character.
To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr.Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?
We have reserved judgment on Mr. Trump for years now. Some have criticized us for our reserve. But when it comes to condemning the behavior of another, patient charity must come first. So we have done our best to give evangelical Trump supporters their due, to try to understand their point of view, to see the prudential nature of so many political decisions they have made regarding Mr. Trump. To use an old cliché, it’s time to call a spade a spade, to say that no matter how many hands we win in this political poker game, we are playing with a stacked deck of gross immorality and ethical incompetence. And just when we think it’s time to push all our chips to the center of the table, that’s when the whole game will come crashing down. It will crash down on the reputation of evangelical religion and on the world’s understanding of the gospel. And it will come crashing down on a nation of men and women whose welfare is also our concern.

I'd Say James Comey Is In Serious Trouble Along With A Lot Of Other Obama Admin. Officials
The thing is that a whole lot of people in the Obama administration never thought Hillary Clinton could possibly lose the 2016 election after they did all they could to rig it. So they assumed she would be elected and she would bury all of the illegal activities going on in the Obama administration so that the public would never find out about them. But UH OH! President Trump won the election instead and he isn't about to bury a plot that was designed to keep him out of office and undermine his presidency once he was in office. That's why the Democrats so desperately want to disable President Trump, so there is never a chance to get to the bottom of their crimes.
This statement from Durham had to have made Comey piss his pants.
