After whining incessantly for years about the evils of obstruction, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York has just announced his plan to obstruct the will of the American people for the next two years.
With 24 Democratic Senate seats up for re-election in 2018, Senator Schumer’s plan should finish off the Democratic Party once and for all.
Progressives can’t just stand still. They have to be destroying something. The Democrats were planning on another 8 years to put an end to America and now their awesome power has to find a different outlet.
.
The “progressive” epithet they like to affix to themselves does not mean they are for Humanity’s progress as they would love people to believe, but it merely illustrates how they attack our freedoms, step by step, progressively. Just look at the progression of their assault on the 2nd Amendment (and consequently the 1st Amendment as well) in California ans other leftists miserly holes… If left to their devices, they will soon declare the Right to Bear arms to be subject to their approval, there.
Yes, they have learned a valuable lesson, and they are taking the high road…

A TEN year old??
I tossed one of these at age 4 (in Church) and got taken outside and had my butt warmed by my Mom. I still have vivid memories of that.
The comments show just how clueless people are when it comes to training.
The Yahoo horse section is even worse at times. At least when the horse owned by one of these no discipline morons tosses one there is a good chance the human gene pool will get cleansed.
A TEN year old??
(See below)
Gator if they are still tossing Temper tantrums at age 10 then you are going to have two year olds in adult bodies when they hit college.
Let’s reason with them.
A 9mm bullet just between the eyes seems like it would be a good argument, in your illustration.
Not until they become a threat to your life and limb, for example should this large lady or the one below try to snuff you out by sitting on you. Then I believe you are entitled to call for airstrikes to get them off.
I reckon it would satisfy the letter and spirit of state and federal laws, as well as the Geneva Conventions.
No way. Neither of my kids ever acted like that and if they had I would have given them something to cry about. There are times that the fastest way to the brain is through the pants.
AMEN!
There is a darn good reason nature gave animals pain receptors. It cuts down the death rate from stupid moves.
No, let’s reason with them. Democrats are sensible and intelligent people.

Please, add a trigger warning before the vomit-inducing animations you post : think of those who are reading this site while taking breakfast !
If your gonna spank that you’ll need a CH-47 Chinook to sling load it.
Just load’em all up and drop the lot in the Alaska Range. Preferably on Mt. McKinley in winter.
Gail, it’s going to colder in N. Carolina than it is in much of Alaska this weekend. Up to a foot of snow in some places starting to come in the morning then followed by Arctic air. Your going to get considerably colder than we Hoosiers are. Guess your battening down the hatches?
At 06:00 I go off call and I hope they leave me alone because I know I’ll be heading into this stuff if they do.
Replaced the battery in my pick up truck today. Got in this morning from a special extra run to Dexter, Missouri to deliver auto exhaust components. The back haul was 45,000 lb of lead out of a recycler in Carbon City, IL. Got back to the yard at 05:30 this morning driving through some snow and my old PU wouldn’t start. I hate working on vehicles in the cold! Bobtailed home. Waited for daylight and the parts stores to open then had my wife follow me back with my tools and tester/charger in the FJ. The 400 amp inverter in the FJ came in handy for running the charger/tester. Defective battery from NAPA. Tested at 71% after charging and would not even think about cranking. Only a little over a year old. But their guarantee worked. I paid $43.23 for a new battery that costs $116.00. So my pick up truck is in the drive and ready to go if the call.
Gail did you know that McKinley is actually the longest climb in the world if one starts from the glacier at sea level? Or IOW one gains more altitude climbing McKinley than any other mountain if your start at the very bottom of it’s features.
RAH,
My Univ outing club lost some climbers to Mt. McKinley while I was a member.
Boulder “Progressives” are discovering how hard global warming is on their Audis and Subarus. The weather we’ve had over the last couple of days finished off quite a few marginal car batteries. Right now it’s around 0℉ and “much warmer than yesterday”. :)

Came across this, Gail – thought you’d enjoy:
President Obama’s Legacy Follows His Shadow
“President Barack Obama will leave office after eight years of strutting even while sitting down, preening even while standing up, swanking while playing 18 holes. Yet he remains the first president in American history to cast no shadow. President Jimmy Carter cast a pale and minuscule shadow. President Lyndon Johnson cast an obscene shadow. But Obama leaves absolutely no shadow, even in the moonlight.

That was a great piece. I am surprised it was published.
Honestly, though, the Democrats will never be finished and maybe that’s a good thing. I think one of the issues we have today is that once the Soviet Union fell, we lost the ability to distinguish our imperfections from the pure evil that was Soviet communism. We, as a people, also lost the ability to recognize subversive and traitorous acts without some sort of baseline for evil. I believe this is, in part, responsible for some of the Democrat success. However, they themselves have filled this role now, and if they American people can stay awake, they will now have a gauge for corruption and treachery in the Democrat party. Besides, people like these never go away…they just change their stripes or political affiliations.
The Progressives are totalitarians.
There is really only two forms of government when you think about it. A government by and for the people where the general population has control and some form of totalitarian government where the people are the slaves of the state/elite. Political Islam is a totalitarian theocracy which is why the Progressives love it.
The USA moved towards a totalitarian government with the Federal Reserve Act, 16th and 17th Amendments, FDRs New Deal and laws made by an unelected unfireable Bureaucracy who the Supreme Court says can write laws AND enforce them without citizen imput. (We no longer have trial by jury we have trial by Federal Department tribunal.)
Those folk clothe themselves in verbal fig-leafs which they change over time as others catch on and this will not end until they have corrupted every good value by falsely claiming it for themselves and destroying anything that was positive in it to begin with. They produce nothing good but only destroy good.
Any Rand nailed it. That is why Progressives hate her.
Envy/Hatred of the Good for Being the Good
Goodbye filibuster.
Republicans hold 52 seats in the Senate. For the 2018 mid terms there are 23 democrat seats in play plus 2 independents that caucus with the Democrats. So that’s 25 which is over 1/2 of the democrat caucus.
There are 8 Republican seats in play.
Of course that is all contingent on no special elections in the interim to fill seats vacated by death, resignation, etc.
There are 10 democrat Senators whose seats will be in play whose states went for Trump. Of those there are five states that Trump took by double digits and the “experts” are saying Republicans have a very good to excellent chance of gaining. They are: Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia.
Though an 8 seat gain with no loses is certainly possible, I wouldn’t count on it.
Now this just breaks my wittle heart!
Trump: Obama’s envoys out by inauguration day
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/video/trump-obamas-envoys-out-by-inauguration-day/vi-BBxXNRu?ocid=spartanntp
I can’t help but think that there may be a little pay back in that since Obama’s State Department has been somewhat less then cooperative during the transition. And I can empathize but have not one bit of sympathy for the diplomats. When a member of the military gets PCS (Permanent Change of Station) orders they go no matter what your family situation. Why should it be different for ANY one in government employ is beyond me.
RAH, It is not just the military.
I had 40 address changes by the time I was 29 because of all the times Dad was ordered to move. He was top salesman for his company and he was moved all over to open new territory, consolidate it and then turn it over to another salesman.
We were lucky to spend 2 years in the same location. I have zero sympathy. I can’t watch that video but I read this:

Good grief, If I was a mother I would be out of Brussels so fast it would make your head spin!
When I got my orders to come back to the US from Germany I knew they were coming because the standard accompanied tour was 3 years. So I sent the family home to stay with my parents 6 months early so the kids wouldn’t be changing schools in the middle of the school year. Though the DoD grade and Jr. HS schools in Bad Tolz where I daughter went were very good the HS in Munich where my son went sucked. Things worked out fine though when I came home I was the stroke of a clerks pen from going down on the PanAm flight that was blown from the sky over Lockerbie. I boarded the next PanAm flight to depart from the same gate that doomed flight departed from.
I’ve had some close calls with fate but never one that would have been so certain.
That was some good clerking you got in the Army.
The best!
Having not quite understood the news on the German radio as my friend drove me to the airport I was shocked by the procedures at the gate. They even made me take my black retractable writing pen apart. We didn’t board from a skyway but from old fashioned stairs from the tarmac after having identified our luggage to be put on the aircraft.
