He was feeling really sick and had such a terrible cough he thought he might croak. Anyway, he came upon a man who, it turns out, was a doctor. He diagnosed the frogs illness right away, but, alas, he found he was not carrying the medicine with him that the frog required. The doctor pointed down the path toward a distant hill. "Toad", he said, "if you can hop down past that hill you will find a village where my office is located. Take this prescription with you and tell the Pharmacist to give you what you need." The toad thanked the doctor and started on his journey. A few hours later, the doctor came upon a bunny, hopping through the woods. "And how are you today, Mr. Rabbit?" said the doctor. "Not so good," came the reply. "I hopped on a thorn a few miles back and my foot is starting to swell." The doctor looked at the rabbit's limb and applied a temporary bandage. "You need to see my nurse who will give you a better dressing and make you well again." "Oh thank you!" said the rabbit. "Which way do I go to find your office?" With that, the doctor pointed toward the distant hill and said, "Follow the yellow sick toad." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ January 23 is National Pie Day, National Handwriting Day and Measure Your Feet Day January 24 is Beer Can Appreciation Day and Compliment Day January 25 is Opposite Day January 26 is Spouse's Day January 27 is Chocolate Cake Day and Punch the Clock Day January 28 is Chinese New Years, Data Privacy Day, Fun at Work Day and National Kazoo Day January 29 is National Puzzle Day and National Cornchip Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: )\-"```-,_ /. _ `"-._ _`-c_/_'. `\ , `"-._ (_.--` '-_;-' \ `"-.

"Whatever you do," she said, "don't bleed on the white dogs." -<>- >Eating Habits The mother had become very cholesterol-conscious and was trying to change the family's eating habits. They were now consuming lots of oat bran, and she had substituted turkey for most of the meats they used to enjoy. She used ground turkey in spaghetti sauce and she served turkey hot dogs. The 18-year-old daughter was getting tired of all the turkey and cholesterol talk. One day she came home from school and asked the usual, "What's for dinner?" "Chicken," the mom replied. With a tired sigh she inquired, "Real chicken or turkey chicken?" -<>- >Seen This? I had trouble with the idea of turning 30 and was oversensitive to any signs of advancing age.

"Eighty dollars," the dentist says. "That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a cheaper way?" "Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anesthetic, I can knock the price down to $60." "That's still too expensive," replies the man. "Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I can knock the price down to $20." "Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much." "Well," says the dentist, scratching his head, "if I let one of my students do it, I suppose I can knock the price down to $10." "Marvelous," says the man. "Book my wife in for next Tuesday!" ------- Last night there was a story about travelling safely in winter ...It was an interview with the Michigan state police. They suggest that anyone traveling in the current icy conditions should ensure they have the following: Shovel Blankets or sleeping bag Extra clothing including hat and gloves 24 hours worth of food De-icer Rock salt Flashlight with spare batteries Road flares or reflective triangles Full gas can First-aid kit Booster cables You know what? I looked like an idiot on the bus this morning. ------- After his legs had been broken in an accident, Mr. Miller sued for damages, claiming that he was crippled and would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Although the insurance company doctor testified that his bones had healed properly and that he was fully capable of walking, the judge decided for the plaintiff and awarded him $500,000. When he was wheeled into the insurance company office to collect his check, Miller was confronted by several executives. "You're not getting away with this, Miller," one said. "We're going to watch you day and night. If you take a single step, you'll not only repay the damages but stand trial for perjury. Here's the money. What do you intend to do with it?" "My wife and I are going to travel," Miller replied. "We'll go to Stockholm, Berlin, Rome, Athens and, finally, to a place called Lourdes--where, gentlemen, you'll see yourselves one heck of a miracle!" -------- A little boy came home from school one day and said, "Mom, the teacher asked me today if I have any brothers or sisters who will be coming to school." His mom said, "That's nice of her to take such an interest, dear. What did she say when you told her you are the only child?" And the boy said, "She just said, 'Thank goodness!'" -------- A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife, Susie, something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. He showed her the phone and explained to her all of its features. Susie was excited to receive the gift and simply adored her new phone. The next day Susie went shopping. Her phone rang and, to her astonishment, it was her husband on the other end. "Hi Susie," he said, "how do you like your new phone?" Susie replied, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell, but there's one thing I don't understand though." "What's that, sweetie?" asked her husband. "How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?" -------- Murphy, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. His fame grew and soon people from all over the country we're coming to him for paintings. One day, a beautiful young woman pulled up to his house in a stretch limo. She asked Murphy if he would paint her in the nude. This was the first time anyone had made this request. The beautiful lady said money was no object, she was willing to pay £50,000. Not wanting to get into trouble with his wife, Murphy asked the lady to wait while he went in the house and conferred with his wife. In a few minutes he returned and told the lady he was willing to do it. However, he would have to leave his socks on so he would have some place to wipe his brushes. -------- Two babies were sitting in their cribs, when one baby shouted to the other, "Are you a little girl or a little boy?" "I don't know," replied the other baby giggling. "What do you mean, you don't know?" said the first baby. "I mean I don't know how to tell the difference," was the reply. "Well, I do," said the first baby chuckling, "I'll climb into your crib and find out." He carefully maneuvered himself into the other baby's crib, then quickly disappeared beneath the blankets. After a couple of minutes, he resurfaced with a big grin on his face. "You're a little girl, and I'm a little boy," he said proudly. "You're ever so clever," cooed the baby girl, "but how can you tell?" "It's quite easy really," replied the baby boy, "you've got pink socks and I've got blue ones." -------- A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to give her an examination to determine the cause of her daughters swollen abdomen. It only took the doctor about two seconds to say "Gimme a break lady! Your daughter is pregnant." The mother turned red with fury and she argued with the doctor that her daughter was a good girl and would never compromise her reputation. The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon. The mother became enraged and screamed, "Quit looking out the window! Aren't you paying attention to me?" "Yes, of course I am paying attention ma'am. It's just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the east, and three wise men came. I was hoping they would show up again and help me figure this out." ------- The cruise ship docked at a Mexican port during a very high tide. Everyone aboard was forced to use the ship's narrow gangplank -- as a passageway to the dock far below. The staff stood motionless when a passenger, in her 70s, appeared at the top of the plank. There wasn't room for anyone to assist her, so she edged along slowly, finally making it to the dock safely, much to everyone's relief. As she stepped down, she turned, looked back to the top of the gangplank and shouted, "It's okay, Mother, you can come down now." -------- During our church service one Sunday morning, a parishioner was speaking about an emotionally-charged topic, and had trouble controlling her tears. Upon finishing her remarks, she told the congregation, "I apologize for crying so much. I'm usually not such a big boob." The bishop rose to close the session and remarked, sympathetically, "That's okay. We LIKE big boobs." -------- An overweight blonde went to see her doctor one day so she could get some advice about going on a diet. "Okay," answered the doctor, "I recommend that you eat regularly for two days, then skip a day. Eat regularly another two days, skip a day, and so on. "Repeat this two complete weeks, and the next time that I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds." Two weeks later, blonde sees her doctor again. She gets on the scales. The doctor is happy to see that she has lost nearly THIRTY pounds! "So you followed my instructions?" asked the doctor. "Yes," the blonde nodded, "but I can tell you I thought I was going to drop dead on the third day!" "From the hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor, confused. "No," replied the blonde, "From skipping all day!" -------- Christmas was finally over and the pastor's wife dropped into an easy chair saying, "Boy, am I ever tired." Her husband looked over at her and said, "I had to conduct two special services last night and three today, and I gave a total of five sermons. Why are YOU so tired?" "Dear," she replied, "I had to listen to all of them." -------- A five-year-old boy was watching a TV documentary about the Civil War. Soon, he asked, "Daddy, what’s a slave?" His father told the boy, "A slave is someone who works hard for other people without getting paid for it." The boy replied with instant wisdom, "Oh, like a Mommy?!" -------- It was the first day of school. As the principal made his rounds, he heard a terrible commotion coming from one of the classrooms. He rushed in and spotted one boy, taller than the others, who seemed to be making the most noise. He seized the lad, dragged him to the hall, and told him to wait there until he was excused. Returning to the classroom, the principal restored order, and lectured the class for half an hour about the importance of good behavior. "Now," he added," are there any questions?" One girl stood up timidly. "Please sir," she asked, "May we have our teacher back?" ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Linda :) _ __ / \Y \ __/______\__ `~~// 6 6\~~` C 7 | \ '='/ \__/ /\ |\ .-`\_\_//\ /-. `|o |\ __ | | | | \ |\/ / | | |o | \ /`\_/ | | | | Y / | | |o |\ / \ \ | | `--' \ \__|o_| `\ /I=[]=| |`/ ) | \ : | | |: | | |: | | |: ) ) \'.|, | |: || | |: || | |: || | |:_||_| |===|==| | | | jgs |& \ \ *( , `'-.'-. `"`"""""`""` >An old Farmer's Words of Wisdom we could all live by... “Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.” “Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.” “Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.” “A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.” “Words that soak into your ears are whispered…....not yelled.” “Meanness don't just happen overnight.” “Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.” “Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.” “It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.” “You cannot unsay a cruel word.” “Every path has a few puddles.” “When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.” “The best sermons are lived, not preached.” “Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.” “Don't judge folks by their relatives." “Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.” “Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time. “Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.” “Timin' has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.” “If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.” “Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. “The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.” “Always drink upstream from the herd.” “Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.” “Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.” “If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.” “Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.” “Don't pick a fight with an old man.

Brian Becton posted a dashboard camera video to YouTube showing the scene that unfolded. The video shows a car traveling at a high rate of speed quickly brake when it approaches the rear of a slower-moving vehicle. A motorcycle traveling behind the car has trouble braking fast enough to avoid impact and the two vehicles collide, leaving the motorcyclist sitting on the trunk of the car. The car's driver doesn't appear to initially notice the crash, causing the man sitting on the trunk to knock forcefully on the rear window. The car pulls over a distance down the road and the motorcyclist is eventually seen pacing at the side of the road -- visibly upset, but free from serious injuries. *-- Probably a Smart Call on the Relationship --* A woman flew into a rage after her boyfriend told her that he was not ready to commit to a serious relationship with her, according to police in Michigan. Roseville police said that they have arrested 29-year-old Batina Christine Jackson, after being accused of stabbing her 39-year-old boyfriend 9 times. According to the criminal complaint, Jackson recently met her boyfriend on the Internet, and they went out on two dates. After the second date, Jackson asked her boyfriend, who was not identified, whether he was ready to commit to a serious relationship. When he said it was too early to decide, Jackson pulled a knife and stabbed him in the back and neck 9 times. The man was rushed to the hospital where he is expected to survive. -<>- 2 girls freaked out after trespassing into an abandoned prison and getting trapped inside, according to police in Illinois. Joliet police said that they have arrested the two 15-year- old girls, who were not identified. They were charged with one count of trespassing after being accused of breaking into the old Joliet Correctional Center. According to the police investigation, the girl who identified herself as Brittany, climbed over a fence with her friend to gain access to the abandoned jail. They entered unlocked prison cells, and at some point, one of the girl got trapped. Brittany called the Joliet Fire Department, to report that she and her friend were stuck in the prison facility that has been abandoned 15 years ago. After about an hour, firefighters used a sledgehammer to break through the wall and freed the trapped girl. They were not injured. The girls recorded their ordeal with their cellphones and uploaded the footage on Snapchat and Twitter. "I accidentally locked myself in a cell at the abandoned Joliet prison and had to call Joliet fire dept. to get me out so enjoy this video," one of the girl wrote in Twitter. Because if you're going to be an idiot, you might as well get some views out if it. *---------- Missing Hunter Was In Jail ----------* Police in Alabama discovered that a hunter who was reported missing was actually in a local jail the entire time. Local fire departments and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency were searching for 51-year-old Randy Keith Holt before Limestone County Sheriff's Office discovered he was being held at a county jail on public intoxication charges. Holt was last heard from on Monday afternoon when law enforcement discovered him exposing himself. Holt's family was unaware he had been arrested and reported him missing after he was three hours late returning from his hunting trip. Officers called off the search after learning Holt's last name and locating him at the Limestone County Jail. Holt was held in the jail with a bond of $500. *--------------- Talk About Luck ---------------* A California man whose two vehicles were both crushed by trees in different cities on the same day says he feels like "the luckiest guy." Georgiy Karpekin said he was at Sacramento City College when strong winds swept over the area leading to an unfortunate discovery in the parking lot. "I walked up to my truck and I saw it was 'taco'd' around a tree," he said. Karpekin got a ride to his West Sacramento home where he made another shocking discovery -- another tree had fallen on two vehicles parked in front of his house, including his own car. Karpekin said. "I feel like I'm the luckiest guy. Why? I came out alive. Everything is fine. My insurance is covering it. There's no other way to look at it, right?" *-------------- A New World Record --------------* If you didn't think there was a world record for smashing open coconuts with your head, think again. 30-year-old Rashid Naseem of Karachi, Pakistan just set it when he managed to crack open 43 fresh green coconuts with his head in just 60 seconds. The feat was recorded on video, and was uploaded on Facebook, where it went viral. Representatives of the Guinness World Record were at the scene to officially record the world record. Naseem revealed that he trained for six months to be able to achieve the world record. When he began smashing coconuts with his head, he suffered splitting headaches, but they later went away as his body got used to the banging. Naseem holds the world record for smashing the highest number of drink cans. Last year, he smashed 210 walnuts with his head in 60 seconds, which is also a world record. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Fran :) , .---. _// //\_/\\ \_\ |/ 0_0 \| / | ,___, | / \\___// / `"|"` .' .--'/'--' / | | | | | .-'\ | `"""` \ ,---.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ .-\ \ /_.' | /\ jgs \ \ `" >Fun Ones... A doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the doctor was looking through these his eyes grew wide as he realized Grandma had a prescription for birth control pills. *"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are birth control pills?" "Yes, they help me sleep at night." "Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely nothing in these that could possibly help you sleep!" She reached out and patted the young doctor's knee and said, "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16-year-old Granddaughter drinks. And believe me it definitely helps me sleep at night." You gotta love Grandmas! -------------------------- Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.' The question was worth 70 points or none at all. One student was hard put to think of seven advantages. He wrote: 1) It is perfect formula for the child. 2) It provides immunity against several diseases. 3) It is always the right temperature. 4) It is inexpensive. 5) It bonds the child to mother and vice versa. 6) It is always available as needed. And then the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test he wrote: 7) It comes in attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it. He got an A. --------------- An old Italian man in Brooklyn is dying. He calls his grandson to his bedside. "Guido, I wan' you lissina me.

"Mom," said the boy, "what are all those women doing?" * "They're waiting for their husbands to get off work," she replied. The taxi driver turns around and says, "Geez lady, why don't you tell him the truth? They're hookers, boy! They make love with men for money." The little boy's eyes get wide and he says, "Is that true Mom?" His mother, glaring hard at the driver, answers "Yes." After a few minutes the kid asks, "Mom, if those women have babies, what happens to them?" She said, "Most of them become taxi drivers." ----------------- An elderly, but hardy cattleman from Texas once told a young female neighbor that if she wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on her oatmeal each morning. She did this religiously and lived to the age of 103.

Beware of Dog!" Inside, he sees a harmless old hound asleep in the middle of the floor. "Is that the dog we're supposed to beware of?" he asks the owner. "That's him," comes the reply. "He doesn't look dangerous to me. Why would you post that sign?" "'Cause before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him." -<>- After a sheepdog gets all the sheep in the pen, he reports back to the farmer: "All 40 accounted for." "But I only have 38 sheep," says the farmer. "I know," says the sheepdog. "But I rounded them up." -<>- A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful ... CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry eggs?" The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving." -<>- Mom and Dad were trying to console Susie, whose dog Skipper had recently died. "You know," Mom said, "it's not so bad. Skipper's probably up in Heaven right now, having a grand old time with God."

They were collected by two teachers over a period of three years. Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and, of course, spelling. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Since then no one ever found it. Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but the commandos made it. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was a actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds Like he was sort of busy too. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female moth. Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus." Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah!" and that was the end of the fighting for a long while. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shake- speare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by Rubbing two cats backward and also declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's Mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands... Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steam- boat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It was very long. People got upset about it and had trials to see if it was really true. Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn't get to find radios because they were already taken. ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: ** Andy Says...

"So who did you see before coming to me?" asked the important doctor. "My local General Practitioner, Dr. Cohen." "Your GP?" scoffed the doctor. "What a waste of time. Tell me, what sort of useless advice did Cohen give you?"

Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman. STILL think you're having a bad day? Two animal rights protesters were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hopeless protesters were trampled to death. STILL think you're having a bad day? There was a case in one hospital's Intensive Care ward where patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11am, regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11 A. M. on Sundays. So a Worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11am, all doctors and nurses nervously wait outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock struck 11... Pookie Johnson, the part- time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so that he could use the vacuum cleaner. STILL Having a Bad Day? The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. ` ' - * - (_`_______________ /`. _,-'/ / `. _,-' / / ,-'`.-'. / /_,-' `. / /'______________`/ What? STILL having a bad day?

Great! Well Written Poem! Thanks Bunni! Speaking of it, I loved the concert Trump gave Thursday! I told Paul it is exactly the way I would have done it if I was going to be president. Absolutely fantastic. If you get a chance you should make sure you watch the end especially with the fireworks - most spectacular! Lincoln is my favorite! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4OVC6k9RdE Trump gave thanks to the police, the military, the vets, and to the people with this concert and the fireworks. During the fireworks he gave homage also to God with the song played during the fireworks - 'Glory Hallelujah' - Most Awe inspiring! I was especially pleased that Lee Greenwood sang one of my favorite songs there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-jaEsLJQRM If you are like me, Friday you were glued to the TV watching all the ceremonies - We Have A New President! President Donald Trump Swearing In Ceremony - Oath Of Office Presidential Inauguration Trump 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZn2q42pNMk Saturday I was informed of the 'Women Protests' at DC. Unfortunately, it made me rather embarrassed to be a woman... BUT I was pleased with this on Judge Jeanine... Judge Jeanine Pirro - Bikers For Trump Group Counteracts Protesters In Washington, DC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34g4OKy2dQ God Bless These Bikers, President Trump and all his supporters! Like President Trump said... “When America is united, America is totally unstoppable. There should be no fear. We are protected, and we will always be protected. We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement, and most importantly, we will be protected by God. Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger. In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving,” he said. It’s time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots,” he said. “We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American flag. And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky. They fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator," Trump added. http://tinyurl.com/zrvc9ca Finally I was heartened too by President Trump speaking to our CIA. Note the elegant way he told them he does not want them to mask their reports to him like they had to with Pres. Obama. Around 10:40 and on... where he sums it up by saying - 'I love Honesty, I Like Honest Reporting'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMBqDN7-QLg ...Remember learning about this with Pres. Obama? Confirmed: Scrubbing of ISIS Intelligence Reports For Political Reasons Done at Senior Levels http://tinyurl.com/z5f4qh2 Of course Trump didn't get the numbers of Obama in 2009 - Our first black President got tons coming out to make history with him. Trump's turnout was more normal - like Obama's 2012 showing. May God Truly Bless America through Christ Jesus Our Lord!
