Thanks for stopping by

I will have a new issue tomorrow.  I got sidetracked with a dripping air conditioner this morning. I think it just needs a good cleaning, especially the inside drainage tube. I did what I could but it is beyond my ken.

I have feelers out for a repairman. I don't want to die of heat stroke!

Sally Yates just put those cranky white guys in their place now, didn't she? What a gal.

The whole lot of them are guilty from Trump down. I saw part of the press briefing earlier. That Sean Spicer is a bald faced liar and the press corp lets him get away with claims they know are false. Why?

Regardless, treason is the reason to be jolly for justice and it's breathing down their dirty necks -- to the delight of most of the country.

The following video is my America, everyone of every race made this video happen, even a FoxNews truck is included. It always gives me thrills and the ending makes me feel as though I am soaring. This film is dedicated by the creators, to the late Roger Ebert, movie critic, who died in 2013 at the age of 70. Ebert  named this LipDub, "The Greatest Music Video Ever Made."






Peace.

TRUMP: Everything Is Obama's Fault

Obama Warned Trump Against Hiring Mike Flynn, Say Officials
Former President Obama warned President Donald Trump against hiring Mike Flynn as his national security adviser, three former Obama administration officials tell NBC News.
The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.



New presidents often blame predecessors for various things. Trump may be first to blame his national security adviser on his predecessor. - Peter Baker NYT

From A Longtime AHNC Viewer

Dear Congressman:

Our little town awoke today to the distinctive springtime aroma of horse manure. But this morning’s stench came not from our Amish neighbors fertilizing their fields; it came from your vote in favor of the American Health Care Act.

The Washington Post offered some vivid and appropriate descriptions of the AHCA.  In various articles, it was described as “wrong,” “problematic,” “misguided,” “foolish,” “an abomination,” “malicious,” “hypocritical,” “careless,” “reckless,” “tragic,” “disgraceful,” “sloppy,” “half-baked,” “indifferent to human suffering,” and “an act of monstrous cruelty.”

That about sums it up.

Yet you voted for it.  What were you thinking?

This is the act that is supposed to “repeal and replace” Obamacare.  Yet it does neither.

This is the act that is supposed to deliver on the President’s promises:

“Insurance for everybody” – WRONG.
“No one will lose coverage” – WRONG.
“No cuts to Medicaid” – WRONG.
“Nobody will be worse off financially” – WRONG.
“Everybody’s going to be taken care of” – WRONG.

Yet you voted for it.  Seriously, what were you thinking?

At least the AHCA does not provide for “death panels.”  But then, it doesn’t have to: you and 216 of your fellow Republicans have decided to cast yourselves in that role.  Who needs death panels when we have you?

But hey, now you can fund a tax cut for people like me!  Thanks a lot.  And in the immortal words of Kevin in Home Alone: “Keep the change, ya filthy animals.”

Sincerely,
~Rick







Today, Trump tweeted that the media is out of control, saying that they will do or say anything to get attention. Then he honked the horn of an 18-wheeler, posed for a picture with Kid Rock, and accused Obama of spying on him from his microwave. - Jimmy Fallon
