***This past week was exhausting, personally and for the country. There's an upbeat web site called The Chive that has put together a good news article that's really uplifting. It's here. Some examples:
There are many stories of heroism that are coming out of the Las
Vegas tragedy. One act of courage under fire that recently surfaced was
that of a Chiver who came to the aid of a girl who had been shot in the
arm. We’re told he had the presence of mind to remove his Whiskey shirt
and fashioned a tourniquet to stem the blood loss. He is credited with
saving the woman’s life. Until yesterday, nobody knew who this noble
Chiver was.
We know his name now. His name is Kyle Smitley, an EMT from Corona California. A huge Chiver, big heart, hero.
Lots more at the link. ***More on the Left showing their true colors. Remember Steve Scalise? He was shot and almost killed while practicing for the Congressional baseball game. He threw out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. He got a thundering standing ovation, but there were apparently some on the Left who felt it was inappropriate for him to be there. Huh?
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was shot and almost killed
while practicing for the annual congressional baseball game, threw out
the first pitch at the opening game of the Washington Nationals playoff
series last night. Scalise used crutches to make his way onto the field
and a walker to set himself for the first pitch. He threw it to David
Bailey, the Capitol Police special agent who was also wounded during the
shooting. Two other victims, Zack Barth (a congressional staffer) and
Matt Mika (a lobbyist) delivered the lineup cards.
Scalise received a standing ovation from the crowd. I wasn’t at the game, but Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post described the ovation as “thunderous.”
Not everyone was pleased by Scalise’s appearance, though. According
to the Steinberg, Twitter comments included: “Bad choice;” “I will not
cheer for him;” and “I’m physically sickened.”
Mentally sick is more like it.
That level of hatred borders on psychotic. Thank goodness 99% of the crowd there welcomed him.

Yes! No!
My turn signal wasn’t working, So I asked for help from a friend. "Stand behind the car," I said. "Let’s get this problem to end."
"When I turn the signal on, If it’s working, let me know." I hit the blinker and then I heard: "Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No!"

***Hi! I took about a year and a half off due to time constraints, etc. However, I found I really missed blogging my thoughts and opinions. Even if nobody reads them, I like writing them down. Took a while to find a name that nobody else had, finally had to include my name. This'll do! Now I have to relearn how to use all the gadgets in Blogger. ***Lots of places in the U.S. needing prayer right now - Houston, Montana, Oregon, Florida. Lots of bad stuff going on. I chose to give through Focus on the Family for Harvey relief, 90% of what you give goes directly to help those in need down there. I know we have strange weather in Indiana sometimes, but we don't see extremes like the people down there are experiencing. ***Gonna have to make this a short one as I have lots of work to do! I plan to post daily, looking forward to it! *** “Numerous have been the manifestations of God's providence in sustaining us. In the gloomy period of adversity, we have had 'our cloud ...
***Today's the day we go and cut our Christmas tree with Johnathan, and then tomorrow we are going shopping with both kids...what a perfect weekend! We got our outdoor lights up this morning, now to have Johnathan help us drag all the Christmas tubs down from the attic. I'm starting to get in the spirit, all I need now is a little snow. :-) ***The Washington Post , as usual, is misrepresenting the GOP tax bill , claiming it, wait for it, benefits the wealthy more than the poor and middle class. Gosh, never heard that before, have we? In fact: What the Post reporters don’t tell readers is that other measures of the Senate tax cut bill’s effects contradict their chosen – Democratic – narrative. To cite just one example, the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards looked at the aggregate percentage cuts by income range. Taxpayers earning $40,000 to $50,000 annually would see a 51 percent reduction. Similarly, those earning $75,000 to $100,000 would see a 17 percent aggregate re...
***Lots of good news this week, at least in my opinion. The Supreme Court struck down mandatory union dues and mandatory abortion counseling in pro-life clinics in California, they also upheld Trump's Muslim travel ban. This is good news not only because I agree with all the decisions, but because they are constitutional. That's what the Supremes are supposed to do - interpret the Constitution. They are not there to legislate from the bench. Equally huge is the fact that breaking today is the news that Anthony Kennedy is retiring. His voting record is pretty mixed...hopefully Trump can hit another home run with the next appointee the way he did with Neil Gorsuch. You think the Democrats have been psychotic up to now? Just wait, this will really send them over the edge. Details here: http://www.scotusblog.com/ *** Civilians around the world become better armed .
