As someone pointed out on another blog, however leftish Kennedy may have been on social issues, he was rightish on government issues, and we have to respect that he knows full well the gift he is handing Trump and the nation by stepping down now. So, give him that.

Okay, BoB, I hit the Like button just because I like that you posted it. But I didn’t really watch it. Too soon. I had already just watched it only thirty or so years ago.

"…liberals across the country announced they were suddenly in favor of allowing businesses the right to refuse service…"
You know how I know this is parody? It suggests liberals would have consistent principles.
:D
Just got through going over the candidates with our hard-researching Dear Daughter. We depend on her every election. Among her many talents and tasks, Daughter works in a popular local restaurant. Some of our choices may have been based on good vs lousy tipping candidates she's served. :)
We also get to vote on (hahaha sure) "medical" marijuana for Oklahoma. Only good thing about it is, if you have unlicensed pot, you'd have to pay a hefty fine, but no jail time. The rest is bogus backdoor legalization, of course. (Mostly, I wish the States vs Fed pot laws would get ironed out; meanwhile, it's a bit of a Constitutional crisis.)
And I have to go in and vote on all the candidates, and pot semi-legalization, cold soberly! Don't even have a Snickers bar.

The "Verse of the Day": "Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORD.”
Even as a kid, I understood the Almighty's omniscience.
Which made it hard to understand how Adam and Eve thought they could hide behind a bush. "He'll never find us here!" :?
Which brings to mind

Red Hen restaurant owner at STDregistry. She seems nice... :roll:
Trump tweet: "The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job)..."
(Spoken like a businessman!)

Thank you for posting these.
The first interview, and the Fox interview were informative.
I'm less than halfway through the Anderson Pooperscooper clip, and it's beyond wearying how Andy keeps interrupting and arguing. It borders on bullying. d'Sousa is clear-headed and doesn't let himself get shut down. "If I started worshiping Obama....." hahahaha.
Haven't run the vids yet, but just wanted to snark that the first one, you say, was recorded July 28, 2018…? With a time machine. Good trick. :D
Good morning.

freedom1781: "I am just so sick and tired if all the hate coming from the left. It’s getting really old."
Sick - understandable. But don't tire yet - that's what they want. And there's a lot more to come from them!
As an online fellow says every morning, Let's smile, and be happy, and strike fear into the hearts of killjoy leftists everywhere!

I saw what I believe to be a golden eagle soaring in our trees this morning. Seen 'em before, a lot, this year. Think they may be nesting in one of the Ponderosas.
When the old gray cat disappeared earlier this year, we knew it could've been any of a couple of dozen things happened to him, but birds of prey are high on the list. We even have raptors from small hawks to big bald eagles around. Beautiful, and terrifying. Flying dinosaurs.
I feel sad when I think he may have been enraptored.
I never before had the idea of the enraptured being caught up in angelic clutches, hissing and clawing and screaming and fighting the whole way, although, I am familiar with people for whom, in this life, that's the only way to get them to the truth. :D
What a great picture! Thanks.
I was reading the news elsewhere, and I thought, I need a dose of BoB. It worked.
Never really adhered to the "First day of [season]" at the equinoxes and solstices. As a kid, Summer began when school let out, and ended when school began, but those were the good ol' days when schools gave us June, July, and August off.
And besides, we've had summer-like weather since April. ☼
Great picture. The innocence of the happy fisherman, the wildness of the cat. Someone clicked at the perfect moment.

"Daily Wire editor-in-chief and podcast sensation, Ben Shapiro"
I tried to watch this. Couldn't take more than a minute of this NeverTrumper soyboy's whiny voice. Might give him a try again in the daylight. Or, might be the first PragerU vid I couldn't watch.

By coincidence, today, Milady and I ventured for the first time into the notorious chicken place. New one in town. Managed to catch it in a slow period between meal hours - still busy even then.
We rarely go for fast food, and never chicken, so I don't have much to compare it to. Okay for fast food. Milady would like the fries more if they were crispier.
I had a peach shake. It was good. I'll pay for it later.

"The amount of money we get from George Soros has been GREATLY over exaggerated."
Not just exaggerated.
Not just over exaggerated.
GREATLY!
Heh.
Also: Soros funded daycare: *shudder*

Planned Parenthood in Kansas City, Missouri, has stopped doing abortions, because they can’t find anyone to do the procedures. Also, 8 out of 11 women have failed to return after the 3-day waiting period thanks to pro-life activists who have offered assistance and information.
Either one of those statements would be remarkable in and of itself.

Got this notice today:
Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com!
You registered on WordPress.com 7 years ago.
Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.
I haven't actually been blogging until very recently.
Joined WordPress just so I could comment here on PoliNation.
Had to check. It really has been that long! My first comment, welcomed by Bluebird and Frankly and chrissy.
We've certainly seen a lot together!

In the photo above, what you don't see is Trudeau cropped out on the right, and Trump looks much less isolated.
There's another pic of Trump at the G7 where everyone looks much happier and friendlier - as someone said, looks like Trump is holding court. Bolton, even Merkle, smiling.
So easy to propagandize with careful photo selection. Glad we have the internet to break through their web of distortion.

When one gets to Hieronymus Bosch levels of pain, there is no relief.
(I was going to link some hideous Bosch pic here, but, they were all a little too out there.)

"allowing him to express himself with body language and facial expressions"
Funny. Milady Webworker just came in from the porch, amazed at how expressive cats can be in communicating. This one indicted she didn't want to be fed inside - by staying outside. Then, Milady set the bowl on a porch chair (where this cat sometimes likes it) but the cat just looked over at some low bricks (up off the ground means fewer ants). Moved the bowl and she chowed down.
And we swear one of the other cats has learned to approximate saying "yogurt." Spoiled and dangerous!
Milady and I ran a couple of apartment buildings in Chicago for about fourteen years. Kept the buildings in great shape, tried to keep tenants happy. (One realtor looked at our rents and called Milady the "Mother Theresa of Uptown." A bit extreme, but comparatively....) We did okay, but hardly got rich.
We were obviously doing it wrong.
