Sandbox – 19dec22

[A continuing miss to Fox and other conservative outlets for not bringing up and highlighting daily ‘the border is secure’ lies of the anti-American Biden administration and presidency.  No president in our history has purposely or otherwise done so much damage to our republic as has this functional idiot in the White House.  gjr]

The lack of a secure border is barely scratching the surface of concern in the U.S. It's shown up in M. Vineyard, NY City, Cali, Chicago, DC, Denver, El Paso. But there is always Fed money to cover up the problems.

And the free-loaders (who are anything but free to taxpayers) aren't stealing enough electric cars to be noticeable yet.

Add another series of lies to trumps collection. It came out today that Trumps taxes never were being audited. They will be released to the public.

"I will absolutely give my return, but I'm being audited now for two or three years, so I can't do it until the audit is finished, obviously," Trump said.

Paul - " It came out today that Trumps taxes never were being audited."

Paul once again shows he has a poor understanding of English. They stated only that Trump had not been audited for the first 2 years of his presidency This would have been a time period at least a year after he had made that statement. And the article admitted that he would probably be advised not to release his taxes in that event. Since Trump is not a tax lawyer, he wouldn't necessarily know what the law is re releasing his taxes during an audit.

I realize that Paul has a need to manufacture a new Trump-hate factoid every day, but the reality is that the senile, lying, pervert crook he bragged about voting for is wrecking our nation.

[Bill Tozer]

More on the jobs with a different take: lies, lies, and lies. It is not healthy for our country America when we the people have lost trust in the media, lost trust in our hellhole education system, and lost trust in our institutions. A bad omen.

SORRY ABOUT THOSE JOBS

“In the second quarter of this year, we created more jobs than in any quarter under any of my predecessors in the nearly 40 years before the pandemic,” Mr. Biden said on July 8.

“One of the problems with perverting the federal bureaucracy, as the Democrats have done, is that pretty much everyone loses faith in the integrity of government. At this point, there is no reason to assume that government numbers are accurate and unfudged. We have been lied to, too many times.

It is sad, but that is where we find ourselves. Trust has been destroyed.”

[Bill Tozer]

“So what if the FBI violated the First Amendment rights of ordinary Americans? So what if the bureau was part of a conspiracy with intelligence officials to label the Biden laptop disinformation when it knew otherwise?

Generations of fair journalists, seeing themselves as patriots first, would have grabbed this huge, complicated story with both hands. Today, the evidence of FBI interference in an election is met with a media shrug because a shared objective was achieved: removing Trump.

Finally, consider this possibility. Because it has had the laptop and who knows what other sources and information, the FBI has known all along that Joe Biden is a corrupt president who is compromised in his dealings with China and America’s other adversaries.

If true, there are two implications.

We have in Biden, as John Dean famously said about Nixon, “a cancer on the presidency.”

We also have an FBI that has returned to the ethos of J. Edgar Hoover. He kept his job for nearly five decades by keeping files of dirt on presidents, senators, members of Congress, the media and many prominent private citizens, such as Martin Luther King Jr.”

Here's a chorus of Trump lies on his taxes:

"If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely. And I would love to do that," said Trump in one clip.

"I would certainly show tax returns if it was necessary," he said in another.

"I'm very honest in my tax returns," he said in yet another.

"I have very big returns as you know. And I have everything all approved and very beautiful and we'll be working on it," he said in still another.

"My returns are extremely complex, and I'll make a determination at the right time. I have a very complex system of taxes," he said in a fifth clip.

"I'm under audit. When you're under audit, you don't do it. But I'm under audit," said Trump in one clip.

"I would love to give them, but I'm not going to do it while I'm under audit. It's very simple," he said in another.

"I'm under a routine audit, and it will be released," he echoed in another.

"As soon as the audit is finished, it will be released," he said in yet another.

"I'm not really releasing tax returns because, as you know, they're under audit," said Trump in a fifth clip.

"Actually, I paid tax. You'll see that as soon as my tax returns. It's under audit. They've been under audit for a long time. The IRS does not treat me well,"

2-1/2 cups macaroni
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2-1/4 cups milk
1 tspn salt
Dash pepper
2 cups grated cheese

Cook macaroni. Separately melt butter, stir in flour, cook for a minute or two stirring. Add milk a little at a time, stirring constantly until all milk is added, until mixture bubbles. Take off heat, stir in pepper and salt.

Arrange alternate layers of macaroni and grated cheese, reserving maybe 1/4 cup of cheese for the top.

Pour hot sauce over all, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and dot with bits of butter.

Bake 35 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. Serves 4 to 6.

PROFILES IN COURAGE
“Cassidy Hutchinson is what courage looks like. A trusted aide in Trump’s inner circle and under tremendous pressure not to testify, she did the right thing.

Her country called on her to tell the truth to the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, and she proved herself a worthy patriot.

This young woman had not only been in the room, she had been taking notes. She was the smoking gun. Her testimony blasted a hole in the Trump stonewall.

She confirmed Trump orchestrated the Jan. 6 sedition. Had the Secret Service not refused to comply, he would have marched to the Capitol with armed men.

Pundits are calling Hutchinson’s testimony the “John Dean moment,” referring to Nixon’s Watergate hearings. Dean’s testimony inspired political cartoonist Gary Trudeau to declare Attorney General Mitchell, and thus President Nixon, “Guilty, guilty, guilty!””

The Libs of Tik Tok tweet racked up over 1400 retweets and over 900 comments within an hour. Several users expressed disgust that children were allowed to attend this show, calling it "insane" and "wrong."

"works closely with LGBTQ+ groups and individuals to hear concerns and to share information through outreach and public education."

The woke grinch who stole collage admission chances to high achievers as 'equity' POS -

Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) deprived students of National Merit awards apparently in the name of “equal outcomes for every student, without exception,” a strategy adopted recently by the Fairfax County public-school district.

One local parent, Shawna Yashar, unearthed the school’s policy of withholding such awards after she learned that her son was recognized as a “commended student” for being among the nation’s top 3 percent of students. Yashar’s son could not include the National Merit distinction on his college applications because TJ senior administrators didn’t distribute the letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to students, notifying them of their accomplishments, until later in the year.

“We want to recognize students for who they are as individuals, not focus on their achievements,” TJ’s director of student services, Brandon Kosatka, reportedly told a parent concerned about the delayed distribution of the awards.

Although TJ principal Ann Bonitatibus received the National Merit–award list at the end of October, two weeks before the early-acceptance deadline for many selective colleges, the school didn’t distribute the award letters to students until mid November.

“Keeping these certificates from students is theft by the state,” Yashar told Asra Nomani, who broke the story in the New York Post. Nomani’s own son graduated from TJ in 2021 and only learned “two years after the fact” that he was a National Merit recipient.

Bonitatibus has lobbied extensively to incorporate equity-based policies at TJ.

During the summer of protests following the murder of George Floyd, Bonitatibus emailed students and parents urging them to consider “the privileges you hold that others may not.” In February 2022, a federal judge acknowledged that TJ had altered its admissions processes to restrict the number of Asian Americans in a bid for “racial diversity.”

Bill posted this post 23 December 2022 at 05:09 PM. When reading his link the following positions were expressed by Brendan O'Neill
chief political writer

Do you agree with this statement Bill ?

"Trump certainly behaved irresponsibly both on the day itself and before it. His blather about the election being stolen was heavy on the hysteria and very light on truth. He certainly sowed suspicion towards the political institutions of America among his keenest followers. And his failure to order the National Guard to assist the Capitol cops as the riot broke out – an order then vice-president Mike Pence had to issue instead – certainly suggests he did not treat the attack on the Capitol with sufficient seriousness."

Paul 7:45 - None of what was alleged in that comment was criminal, Paul.
Trump did offer the Natl Guard and it was refused.
He told the crowd to go in peace.

Ray Epps is on video urging people to enter the capitol and the Justice Dept says that's OK by them. Trump never told or urged anyone to commit a criminal act or attack the police.
Sorry Paul - No Trump Hate for your stocking this Christmas.
You'll have to make up your own.

[Paul Emery]

Huh? My question was whether Bill agreed with the statement below. Do you agree with it Scott? Who refused the National Guard Scott? Trump had total control over their deployment as head of the Military and the top law enforcement officer in the country. Are you saying this mystery person could cancel a Trumps Presidental order?

Pray for all the victims of the psycho eco luddites -

“I think that it highlights just how far removed our government is right now from the reality of real life. I think it screams … the divide between us and them, it’s only getting wider,” she says. “We keep referring to this as a cost of living crisis, as though it’s a period of time we’re going to go through and we will come out the other side. Will we? It’s life or death.”

The cost of living has risen sharply since early 2021, according to data from the UK government. From October 2021 to October 2022, domestic gas and electricity prices increased by 129% and 66% respectively, the same research found.

Paul 9:06 - "Huh?"

That says it all.
Merry Christmas, Paul - may the new year bring you something more constructive than Trump-Hate to occupy your time.

I love Trump Scott and wish him all the best on being the Republican Candidate for President. What a gift he is for the Dems who will likely leave him "twisting slowly in the wind" if they are fortunate enough to have him be the Republican Candidate. He is the biggest loser in modern history and will insure a Democratic win in '24

[Gregory]

What a Christian message of cheer and good will! Good one, Punchy!

In '24, Democrats will take a real beating, Punch.

Gregory and other RR's

You seem to ignore th presence of Trump in the election. Look what losers he picked for '22 ? If he runs for Pres he'll control the choice of candidates and we might have more Hershel Walker types for example which will lose in a breeze. You guys created this monster Trump and have no one but yourselves to blame for the results.

[Gregory]

Those losers were all helped towards their end by nudges from the FBI and CIA through Twits and Facebook. THAT will be harder to pull off in '24.

XIden owns the war. Good luck.

[Scott O]

"You seem to ignore th presence of Trump..."

You have that right.
I rarely ever think of him.
He's a private citizen.
I'm far more concerned with the reality of the perverted, lying, imbecilic crook president currently in office hell-bent on destroying our nation.
And the fact that our fed govt has largely become a corrupt undemocratic monster.

Are you saying Walker was more qualified to be Senator and should have won over Warnock ?

[Scott O]

Paul 2:18 - "Are you saying..."

Go drink some eggnog, Paul.

[Paul Emery]

Simple question Scott. In your opinion was Walker more qualified to be Senator of Georgia than Warnock ?
