Yikes!

***Oh my, July was the last time I blogged. I knew it had been a while, but good grief! Gonna try (again) to do better. We've been busy at the store, plus I have picked up another transcription office, so I don't have too much down time at the store any more.

We've had a lot going on! Doing everything we can to promote our artisan store, plus keep our other businesses going. Mark has been very busy with his carpet cleaning business, which is a good thing!

***I am so very glad Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court, but the awful behavior of the Democrats makes me sick to my stomach. What they put that family through in the name of getting their own way is deplorable. Everything we've found out since they started this character assassination has been that NONE of Judge Kavanaugh's accusers can corroborate anything they've accused him of. Absolutely nothing. Yet, there are people out there who call him a rapist (which he was never accused of, even by the Democrats), and worse. It should send a chill down the spine of any thinking American that the mere accusation of something like that, with no evidence at all, can ruin a reputation and career. I'm very thankful that Judge Kavanaugh and President Trump did not back down, I'm sure that's what the Democrats were counting on. I'm sure they thought they could intimidate Kavanaugh into withdrawing, or Trump into withdrawing his nomination. I'm so glad they stood strong and beat them, but 48 votes against such a qualified man is just inconceivable. I hope Joe Donnelly here in Indiana pays the price in the election. He voted for Obamacare and against Kavanaugh, that's all I need to know.

***The media is the enemy of freedom. 

In four weeks, Americans go to the polls for the midterm elections that the news media are casting as a referendum on the Trump presidency. Over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a President in TV news history — 92 percent negative, vs. just eight percent positive.
For this report, MRC analysts reviewed all 1,007 evening news stories (1,960 minutes of airtime) about the Trump administration on ABC, CBS and NBC from June 1 to September 30, tallying the coverage of each topic and all evaluative comments made by anchors, reporters and non-partisan sources (such as voters or experts).
The results show that, over the past four months, nearly two-thirds of evening news coverage of the Trump presidency has been focused on just five main topics: the Russia investigation; immigration policy; the Kavanaugh nomination; North Korea diplomacy; and U.S. relations with Russia. The networks’ coverage of all of these topics has been highly negative, while bright spots for the administration such as the booming economy received extremely little coverage (less than one percent of the four-month total).

Bullying/Free Speech

Image
***I have to get this off my chest. I have avoided the myriad threads in Facebook about the tragedy that took place in Richmond last week as I didn't want to deal with the inevitable silliness that would follow my posting my opinion. The boy's mother is the one who called in the tip, and the police where there when he arrived. She no doubt saved several lives, the boy in question had two firearms and explosives in his possession. He obviously was planning to do a lot of harm. Since then, however, there has been an overabundance of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Of course it's tragic and awful, you would have to be nuts to think otherwise. BUT, if the Dennis middle schoolers did not feel like victims before, they certainly do now. Counselors, days out of school, free T-shirts, free day at the local recreational complex, endless worrying about their feelings...not terrible things, but come on. So many are wailing about bullying and how it has to stop and oh, what a

Happy Frigid New Year!

***Wow, hasn't been this cold here in Indiana in several years. It was -14 yesterday, right now it's a balmy 2 degrees. I think it's supposed to get back to normal this weekend. Right now the teens is sounding pretty good! ***I read the neatest thing in my devotional this morning by Oswald Chambers : The Bible is a relation of facts, the truth of which must be tested. Life may go on all right for a while, when suddenly a bereavement comes, or some crisis; unrequited love or a new love, a disaster, a business collapse, or a shocking sin, and we turn up our Bibles again and God’s word comes straight home, and we say, “Why, I never saw that there before.” Shade of His Hand, 1223 L It is difficult to relate to an unbeliever the deep-seated comfort and joy that comes with one's salvation. Even when things are awful, and that happens at one time or another to everyone, I have a "peace that passes all understanding." (Phil. 4:7).  That is not a cli

Jumping on the Low Carb Bandwagon

Image
***Actually, we've been here before, both Mark & I. The bandwagon is quite familiar with us. Low carb eating works great, as long as you stick with it. You can't think of it as a temporary fix, though. If you go off of it, the weight comes right back. Take it from one who knows. :-) Today I'm going to try "Cloud Bread." Apparently that's a "thing," but I only heard about it yesterday. I hope it's as good as it looks. ***Well, the "Schumer Shutdown" happened yesterday. At least the Republicans so far aren't letting them hang it around their necks. The Dems own this one because they will not deal regarding illegal immigrants...they need their votes. And don't tell me illegal immigrants don't vote, of course they do. They aren't supposed to, but they do, and if they're given amnesty they'll be able to do it legally. We all know how they'll vote, too, that's why the Democrats are desperate to make
