Hegseth said his vow to not drink while running the military will be based on a rule to not drink while deployed. He denied any claim that he is an alcoholic or that alcohol was the reason for his adultery. See Megyn Kelly.
There’s no question that the Democratic Party defines itself by its willingness to coddle DOAS. They are both its electoral and its moral base, responsible for the Biden presidency, the Ketanji Brown Jackson Supreme Court appointment and the Harris candidacy — a trifecta of incompetence.
But after this election it will be interesting to see if the love affair dims a bit. The Democrats lost mostly because the other big partner in the Coalition of the Fringes, Hispanics, deserted them. Although not as crucial a presence in Blue Wall swing states yet, Hispanics are the growing minority, as Ryan Girdusky pointed out today.
Will the Democrats’ eyes wander from those sassy black women to Juan and Juanita? We may soon know if Kamala decides she wants to gain the party’s nomination for CA governor in 2026.
There are many very ambitious Hispanic Democrats in the Golden State and they represent the most voters. Will they just step aside for 2024’s big loser? Or will DOAS find themselves once again in the back of the (political) bus?
I had two classmates in high school who years later had minor injuries on a construction site. They went on unemployment then SSI, they were brothers and died 3 days apart from Liver failure. They would probably still be alive if they had not taken the easy way out.
Thank you Ann for the Ricochet link of information. My stomach turned at the one particular Boston Globe article/ story about one family’s decision to give psychotropic drugs to their child/ren in return for SSI “benefits”. You are correct (Disclaimer: issue of privacy here). There are always alternative therapies, non drug, that can help a child who may be struggling in school. This particular SSI disability fraud was definitely rampant in our experience of school years. When parents need to make choices on their children’s behalf, it is imperative they fight back at the system from intimidation of drug recommendations from school staff.
I bet the actor Ann was talking about who used the word "faggot" was Matt Damon. The vernacular being what it is ever changing. Today "faggot" is just an Anglicized way of calling someone the yiddish word "putz". Moreover, Ann still seems to have a penchant for Barack Obama. Fox had an interesting piece tonight on how Obama may be becoming passe'. His smooth talking way is now viewed as being glib by many and doesn't evoke a feeling of true leadership the way it used to.
I think he was one of the big losers in this election. He has no influence anymore. He is one of the most overrated public men in my lifetime, a total mediocrity
What happened to the conservative value of women not throwing themselves at married men, who are by their very nature drawn to warm, inviting creatures?
I thought you believed in the biological differences between men and women. If you did, you would understand it is the woman who has the siren song which she can choose to mute or not. It is the man who is driven to the siren song.
I'm sorry but you blaming Mr. Hegseth is just gender-bending. He's a man. A man's man, at that. You want someone at the head of the Pentagon who doesn't throw back beers and doesn't pat bottoms? Do you really know the history of this country? You think namby-pambies won the great wars? The US assisted our men in the great wars with prophylactics and post-exposure treatments to help them safely utilize brothels abroad. How is some pencil-pushing square supposed to effectuate that?
When it comes to Mr. Hegseth, maybe you should be calling out the hussies who enticed him? Women who are acting like men by trying to have sex by anything that comes along! Now that's gender-bending.
His mother has testified to his character. Of course if she had known her place, she wouldn't have had to in the first place. Just like Ivana Trump having run her mouth saying that Trump had raped her and then she had be trotted out to tell the truth. "La donna e mobile" as they say. Would be better if they just stayed quiet to begin with and kept their "mobile" to themselves.
I mean unless the mother had gone after the hussie. And why didn't she? Another gender-bender who doesn't know it's the woman's role to keep her man and other women's role not to steal a man.
But we have a society that hates men.
Now he's having to promise to edify himself while we allow women to parade around like strumpets.
And you're damn right I want disability programs. You think I want to go out to stores and see people behind the counter with all sorts of funny looking disfigurements? We have too many recluses leaving their houses these days in all sorts of manner, looking all sorts of ways. Keep 'em fed and in bed.
I remember being at the butcher's at Food Lion and there was a man working there whose mouth was open with tongue was contorting in so many directions. He had some sort of neurological affliction—I don't know what; I'm not a doctor.
But I'm not ashamed to say I left and bought my meat somewhere else. That's the type of person I want my tax money going to keeping fed and in bed—not out in public where there are families. Yeah maybe there are side effects to the drugs someone like him needs to take. But it doesn't kill every single person. That's just scare tactics from granola hippies. I think RFK is getting to you with all this talk about drugs being bad. Well of course, he's biased. The doctors melon-balled his aunt's brain out, but you're going to from time to time find a bad doctor in every bunch. I'd say that the most of them know what they're doing. I feel like you're a step away from the church of scientology with all this natural healing stuff. I believe in God, my savior, but I also believe in medicine. I'm not a kook.
Fed and in bed was the solution for defectives for millennia until this huge push to get everybody out there—the diversity I thought you were rightly against.
And GoFundMe? That's the whole point I'm making. No one wants to see the sob stories. You ever hear of Boo Radley? I don't want my social media filled with Boo Radleys! "Come read Boo Radley's sob story and please donate!" No, thank you! Keep it quiet and out of sight. Fed and in bed. We're not Nazis that just kill drains on society, but we don't have to see them either. That is one use of my tax money I am glad for. We rightly decry wasting our money in Ukraine when we could spend it here, but then as soon as it gets to talking about spending it here, you don't want that either. Well what's the point then, just shutting the whole thing down? Did you ever think maybe it's nice for those of us able-bodied to not have to see and be out and about with the hyperactives and the spastics and the depressives and the tongue-twisting whatever they got going on folks? I don't go to Hooters to see a homely woman, if you know what I mean. If I walk into Hooters and there's a homely woman, or worse a woman with all sorts of skin lesions or large warts or whatnot, I'd rather my tax money keep her fed and in bed than in the labor force—which is where I go to try to enjoy myself.
And I am sorry for what happened to RFK's aunt, and I am sorry to the children who were overmedicated. But that's not all doctors. I know plenty of families with afflicted people who are safely kept docile, and I'm glad for them and glad I don't have to see them.
You talk about that dog-killer, Kristi Noem.
Well right there is a woman in the old days we would have kept fed and in bed.
A woman starts bragging about killing a DOMESTIC dog?
Something's changed in our society because that would have been a warning sign that a screw was loose and no one but the immediate family would be seeing her again—and she would have been kept fed and in bed for her days.
So, I think we at least agree on that one. Not fit to be in public.
But please leave Mr. Hegseth alone. He exemplifies so many of the masculine qualities that I love about Donald Trump and that I thought you did too.
And please don't be going around telling Mr. Musk what to do. Just like you rightly realize women don't belong in the military, they really haven't earned a station—nor do we need women to—to be telling the most successful men of all time who have already streamlined companies like Twitter to spin like a top how they need to do their jobs, such as how to cut the federal budget. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. And by pretty sure, I mean I'd bet my life on it. Betting my life on women having fickle opinions, that I'd do, as well!
You know I'm just kidding around. I know how women love to hear themselves talk and you at least are on Trump's side again.
Just remember what makes a man a man, and remember why we want shut-ins to stay shut-ins. The labor force is not a place for social experiments with pussified men or for the disfigured.
I wouldn't trust DeSantis running DoD. Doesn't look like he's played the field at all. Looks like a total square. And those boots? He'd have lost respect before he even entered the building. He looks like one of those beta males without high blood pressure and who reads fiction books for fun.
Biden's statement about, "the future runs through Angola, through Africa"; Angola being the route to Africa, based on my knowledge from 25 years ago gained as a result for working with an Australian company with a significant (potentially worth $billions) mining project interest in Angola, is hilarious (given his family's business history), if nothing has changed in the last 25 years!
Things may have changed, but back then, corruption was rife within much of Africa, and Angola was said to be one of the most corrupt countries in Africa. Some of the scuttlebutt I heard was a saying to the effect that no one makes money out of investing in Angola except the Angolans.
At that time a civil war was still running, which was supposed to have been be settled by elections supervised by the UN. Unfortunately the UN supervision was corrupt and the bad guys won, and attempted to eliminate the leaders of the other party, UNITA. Jonas Savimbi, the leader of UNITA, was smuggled out of the capital city in a coffin and the civil war resumed!
US oil companies were able to operate in a corrupt country because the bribes needed were sanitised: the US oil companies were directed to use only government approved contractors. They were more expensive than other commercial contractors, but their fees covered and hid the costs of the bribes that had to be paid in order to operate!
If things as they were 25 years ago haven't changed significantly, Angola would be the perfect place for more grifting by the Biden family. They might even find a board seat for Hunter who, thanks to Ukraine, could actually be able to claim truthfully, oil industry experience! Perhaps you, like almost everyone else, misunderstood what Biden may have been saying or am I wrong?
I worked for the federal government, HUD specifically. The quality of the employees was abysmal. Those who could not or would not work were simply not given any work. The work was done by those few who were competent and willing.
It was basically a place for unemployable minorities to be given no work jobs. I was hired back when whites were still acceptable.
I worked in the New York City office. The director of the office in which I worked was a Puerto Rican woman who despised white people. She promoted two useless Hispanic secretaries to much higher level positions. They did no work in their new positions. This was when Bill DeBlasio was the regional director.
DEI was main the criteria for hiring and promotions, even back then. Hispanics were the main beneficiaries.
I left in 2008. I imagine that it is even worse today.
I agree with Ann about Hegseth. He's a cad and should be shamed as much as a promiscuous woman. He's still not Trump's worse pick and should be confirmed..
Hey Ann…. Your comments about Hegseth are way out of line
You’ve made her change her mind now!
Hegseth said his vow to not drink while running the military will be based on a rule to not drink while deployed. He denied any claim that he is an alcoholic or that alcohol was the reason for his adultery. See Megyn Kelly.

A Birthday Tribute to Ann
When Ann, in beauty and in strength arrayed,
Doth mark the day that all her birth obeyed,
We pause to praise both mind and form divine,
Where wit and charm in perfect union shine.
Her eyes, like orbs of light that pierce the night,
In every glance, ignite a noble sight.
They see through artifice, with steady grace,
And cast all falsehoods into deep disgrace.
Yet not alone in beauty’s boundless reign,
Her mind, like steel, unyielding in its vein,
With sharpest tongue and logic clear and bright,
Doth lead the way, and guide us toward the right.
So on this day, let all the world declare,
That Ann, in brilliance, none can e'er compare.
May years of joy and strength her path adorn,
And in her gaze, the truth forever born.
Hear, hear. QED.
I bet the actor Ann was talking about who used the word "faggot" was Matt Damon. The vernacular being what it is ever changing. Today "faggot" is just an Anglicized way of calling someone the yiddish word "putz". Moreover, Ann still seems to have a penchant for Barack Obama. Fox had an interesting piece tonight on how Obama may be becoming passe'. His smooth talking way is now viewed as being glib by many and doesn't evoke a feeling of true leadership the way it used to.
I think he was one of the big losers in this election. He has no influence anymore. He is one of the most overrated public men in my lifetime, a total mediocrity

"Hundreds of Feds Caught Watching Porn at Work". Now they don't even go to work. Problem solved!
I worked for the federal government, HUD specifically. The quality of the employees was abysmal. Those who could not or would not work were simply not given any work. The work was done by those few who were competent and willing.
It was basically a place for unemployable minorities to be given no work jobs. I was hired back when whites were still acceptable.
I worked in the New York City office. The director of the office in which I worked was a Puerto Rican woman who despised white people.

I always loved that John Edwards joke! A Coulter classic!! 😂 (and 🙄 at Michelle)
