Good morning. Is the Democrat Party a clown show?
Ok, trick question. Take a look at this.

@ Gateway Pundit
More ethical, idealistic genius from a Democrat Governor.
Pritzker is my Governor and this is all over the Media this morning.
This is the same guy who during the campaign claimed that he had a hard scrabble childhood raised by a single
mother with a chronic illness.
In truth they were fabulously wealthy and the disease was alcoholism.

Somebody from Washington State has called into Rush’s show. Gov Inslee has instituted gulags. He has a crew of ‘contact tracers’ – human – who will forcibly remove you to isolation centers if it is determined you have had contact with someone infected.

Panic buying of meat crisis that the MSM are trying to create update.
Went to Aldi yesterday and they had some of every kind of tasty animal. However there was a limit of two packs of each species.
Day before went to my local Foodarama and same there, all animals fully represented and no limit on anything except the 10lbs bags of chicken wings at $1 per pound. Two bags only. But that is usual for on sale items at that store.
Today at local Walmart, all meats available. No restrictions either.
You may ask why I am going to the grocery store every day instead of just shopping once per week and isolating myself?
Well today trip was to get eggs, bacon, sausage and bread for breakfast.
Got bread, forgot eggs, bacon and sausage but did remember kitten food, cat treats, beer and wine.
looks like ANOTHER visit to grocery store tomorrow!

Now she’s teaching herself to open the cabinet door with the dog food/treats.

If I don’t buy them before I start grocery shopping, I WILL forget them. Every. Time. It’s like my brain deletes the ‘shopping’ task and I’m off to put gas in the car or pick up the dogs – but no stamps.

I’m beginning to wonder if Biden will actually be the candidate. I know the take on it is that it’s going to be all about the VP pick, but the guy can’t do a video from his basement. No way will he handle a debate. I’m wondering if they get thru the convention to let everybody have their say, make him the nominee and then he withdraws. NOW it’s the VP pick for the debates. And if it’s Mooch, we’re in trouble.
Sidney Powell is on Larry O’Conner’s show. I’m pretty sure she just said they now think those notes were written by Bill Priestip.

@ Twitchy
Good morning. I saw the Biden interview live this morning on MSNBC.
If you didn’t it is attached here.
He replaced, “Come on Man” with a lot of “period”
@ RIX:
Mika is a Hillary proxy. Keep that in mind.
@ RIX:
What’s amusing is that his campaign’s entire argument against releasing any documents is that they could be used against him by political opponents.
As opposed to the oh-so-pure motives of the Democrat “investigation” of Trump…
caller into Chris Plante:
When Joe Scarborough was a congressman, he was a notorious skirt chaser. Mika was his scheduler. When he left the Hill and went into media, he insisted she be given a position wherever he was employed. But I seem to recall she worked for CBS (and got fired)

Right, and you know that Hillary is plotting to White Knight and selflessly offer herself as the unity candidate.

Did you notice that he kept misunderstanding the idea of searching the U of Delaware archives under the accuser’s name as keywords? It looked willfull, but Biden is seriously slow.
@ eaglesoars:
yeah, I just checked her wiki bio. There is no room in the timeline for her to have ever worked for Scarborough on the Hill, all her professional time has been spent in media. From the age of 27, there’s nothing listed earlier
Biden should get his props here. When he got frustrated with Mika he resisted challenging her to a push-ups
contest. On the other hand she could probably whip him.
Well, my sister has arrived at Mafia Princess’s house and I’m sitting here in Virginia. FIVE cancelled flights.
Yep. “Because I beat him the last time”

Trump issues executive order to protect power grid from attack
President Trump on Friday issued an executive order declaring a national emergency over threats to the U.S. power system, taking steps to defend the grid against cyberattacks and foreign interference.
The executive order bans the use of equipment for the power grid that was manufactured by a company under the control of a foreign adversary, or the buying of any equipment that poses a national security threat.
“Additional steps are required to protect the security, integrity, and reliability of bulk-power system electric equipment used in the United States,” Trump wrote. “In light of these findings, I hereby declare a national emergency with respect to the threat to the United States bulk-power system.”

I can’t believe this has even become an issue.
@ lobo91:
does it strike anyone else as odd that it is this sexual predation narrative that is more likely to bring Biden down and not the whole Ukraine thing?
I’m not sure what that says. Something.
@ eaglesoars:
I think they basically screwed themselves with the whole “#metoo” thing and the campaign against Kavanaugh.

Very good point Eagles.
The conservative right tend to think of the secular left as a block.
They’re not in the least. like the right they are riven into smaller factions and special interest groups. The difference is that when facing their enemies the left come together with temporary truces to present a unified front.
The Conservative right … not so much! Still that too is slowly changing as more and more RINOs are outed and sent back to the Democrat machine politik big government big business swamp where they belong.

Nope. Biden will tap Mooch as his VP and then get ‘nudged’ aside at the eleventh hour in a coup and will face the Donald in a VERY close race!

Aussie Infidel wrote:
As you noted the Dems are divided. There is a segment of passionate Hillary supporters who live in the ‘she was robbed’ swamp and want revenge and blood, no price too high. Biden was supposed to be the soothing nice guy with the Obama imprimatur who would sneak in like silk with a viper VP for back up. Mooch is a wild card. I don’t think she wants it but she can be bought. Hillary won’t condescend to be his VP.
I don’t think they have a Plan B for Biden. Everything from this point on is a Hail Mary play (do I have to explain that reference, it’s American football?).
No Plan B means Hillary.
Unless, of course, somebody gets to Trump and assassinates him. Then it’s civil war and you can forget elections. And don’t think somebody isn’t thinking about that. These people have no limits, no scruples. They SAY what they want to do is win, what they want to do is destroy. They’d prefer to do it slowly, thru elections so that we don’t notice, but push them to the wall, and they will start throwing grenades.
eaglesoars wrote:
Interesting choice. Of those two, I’d probably pick Tina Turner.
I’d actually rather see her perform with Derek Trucks, though.
That reminds me. Tomorrow afternoon is the second Larkin Poe livestream performance. The first one was Megan and Rebecca doing the most popular songs from their cover video series on YouTube.
Tomorrow’s show is billed as “the hits.” I’m hoping that they’ll have the whole band there, but that may be a bridge too far. They’re playing in Megan’s spare bedroom. They do all live in Nashville, though, so who knows?

Trump also outed the self-proclaimed libertarian types that said “I’d vote republican if they were fiscal conservatives and not so morally uptight”. Once Trump got elected they all fled to the the democrat side and showed their true colors.

Official verdict: That was the best mac and cheese ever
Good evening. My sister and I are sitting Mafia Princess’s living room after a VERY long day looking at houses and exploring the neighborhood. Hope The Cat is snuggled next to me and we’re eating come chocolate coffee cake MP made for dessert after a great Italian dinner at Carrabas.
There is a GREAT park pretty much next to our new house, Concord Park. It’s huge, a big lake/marina, a really big free-run dog park and space galore. The new neighborhood is gorgeous, MP and I are making plans for the yard.
Long day but very productive and I am exhausted.
