Hey!
Goooooooooood mooooooooooorning DesertFlower!!!!! :-)
Morning everyone!!
Morning to you, BlogPrincessoftheWorld! Hope you have a glorious day! Danny at the stuffing out of the duck???? What kind of lab is he that he would EAT the duck?? I think you need to grab a truck tire off a semi….
And he actually has the nerve to look sad when he sees his de-stuffed duck!1!1! Like he had nothing to do with it!1!1!
Awww… poor Danny. But he knows that the holiday is coming up and news gifts will be bought! :) :)
If Santa has any sense, he’ll totally skip this house!!
Moooooooorning Hopefruit!!!!
AW…look at that face:) He looks like, “What the hell is THIS? How did THAT happen???” Poor baby. Good thing he’s so darn handsome! He needs to be a doggy model….
Chipisticks, it good to see Danny survive that 24/7 viewing of FLOTUS telling Bo and Sunny to sit
Chipsticks I meant.
:lol: But it didn’t work!!!!
It didn’t :)
Another words he ate the tail feathers and left the good part for later. :-) Smart dog you are Danny “O”
Morning Chips. I have seen similar destroyed ducks, foxes, cats, and cows on my living room floor more times than I can count. The toy truck tire I bought for my dog is solid rubber and has withstood the iron jaws of two very destructive dogs. It looks worn like a used tire but has lasted 4 or more years. I have to admit I love the laughs I get after they have destroyed their new toys though.
Morning Jackie!! The problem with truly indestructible toys - he has NO interest in them when he realizes he can’t shred them! :-)
I should buy a lottery ticket today:) Just woke up, just logged on…and there was “Leave a Comment” Tickles me so:) Good morning everyone!!
When you win don’t blow your winnings all in one place.
No worries about that!! I have plenty of places to blow it all!!
Congrats! Don’t forget us little people when your big winnings! 😀
What difference will that make in people’s lives, exactly? Except to see Snowden and his cult followers take a victory lap….
Snowden can take as any victory laps as he wants to from Russia.
He and his cult followers will use this development as an excuse to advance his request for a pardon by the US government….
I never even THINK that about traitor and he can rot in Russia for all I care. I’m very happy that this will be happen and a warrant will need to be gotten. Americans generally have no idea that this had ever gone on (yet another GWB cleanup). I don’t believe that PBO ever thought this was alright to begin with. An individual’s right to privacy is an important one. I could care less about Snowden and this particular issue. It’s not WHAT he did, but HOW he did it and WHAT he did with the info that pisses me off! He can rot over there.
Agreed df. Also, Snowden was not the first to raise the issue - the administration had brought it up in 2009 (There was a NYT article).
I re read what I wrote there and was hoping that someone would understand what I was trying to say:) Terribly written. Need more coffee, I guess! Glad you understood:)
Whatever information the Government was obtaining through phone logs or whatever never really bothered me for some reason. As long as I can remember I always thought that the government was spying on its citizens, I guess if that were true then the divorce rate would sky rocket. I guess in essence it really doesn’t bother me what the government knows or doesn’t know. As long as my 401k gets a reasonable return every year I’m okay.
I remember when the Patriot Act first came into being…while I was on the phone, I would say something like ” FU, George! I know you’re listening!” and continue on with my conversation…… Privacy is important to me…If you want to hear what I’m saying on the phone, then go through the proper channels and get a warrant to listen, otherwise, stay the hell out of my business. Just me. I have nothing to hide, for me, it’s the principle of the thing. We’re better than that…or should be.
Snowden still committed a crime, and he don’t need to come back here acting like some hero. Let him stay in Russia.
where is our jer’s office?
Morning all. All the little rituals of the President’s family on the holidays- from the turkey pardoning to the father/daughter shopping to the lighting of the National Christmas tree-have become so important to us during these years. I honestly never cared what other presidents did and will no longer care after 2017. But I will miss something precious in our holidays when I can no longer see the Obama daughters’ faces and the joy their father has in just being with them.
I’m still sore from all the outdoor Christmas decorating yesterday. At this point I think the number of lights on our house could guide a small plane to land. These days I overdo the lights and the decor thinking of what will make our little granddaughter’s eyes light up. l
you are so right Jackie…we clutch to our memories of the President’s time in the WH…but i must say that i think that best is yet to come…
another article in the WP about what the DEMS need to do…to win the WH specifically…Clinton…as always…they fail to mention the GOP Obstruction Strategy and racism lobbied against the President…and that the DEMS lost bad 2010 and 2014 because of their own ODS….
the article fails to mention the historic wins of the President…and to admit..that when it comes to winning…PBO know how to WIN…..
it is rather pathetic and tragic…
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/for-democrats-its-not-just-demographics-as-destiny/2015/11/28/199d3a18-9539-11e5-a2d6-f57908580b1f_story.html
here is the article…
Pf, this article is a mess. It dismisses the miraculous economic recovery PBO engineered as “just getting us back to where we were.’ It ignores every piece of legislation offered by the WH that would have improved the lives of workers that were flatly rejected by the Republican led Congress to the point of not even being brought to a vote. It states that Republican prospects in 2016 are bright without saying why. It posits Republican control of all branches of government without mentioning the destruction this would wreak on the economy and the world. It praises Bill Clinton’s presidency to the sky without examining the racist hatred stirred up by the GOP against President Obama. You’re right it’s a pathetic and shallow article.
G’morning Chips, TOD, even amk, lurkers, and congrats df on #1! Happy Sunday everyone :)
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Sunday morning. Congrats df, on being first this morning.
To all, I hope you are blessed with endurance, stamina, and vitality today. <3 <3 <3
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. �?�?� �?�?� �?�?�
Good Morning Chips and TOD.

Morning BFF!!!
And all this time I thought amk was your BFF, I totally misread that situation.
Good Morning TODVille! (Don - you aint the only misreading one!)
Gawd no, Don, he’s my WFN! (Worst flippin’ nightmare)
heh !!! I am right here !!!
Heck. I thought I was BFF! Guess she’s got multiples of everything, 😆
Good morning. Off to make the bed, shower and head to church. Wishes for all of you to have a wonderfully blessed day.
Good morning, happy Sunday and Happy Safe Trails to POTUS ~ today is my youngest grandson’s first birthday.. and his parents are giving a brunch for all in our pajamas :) Wishing all of you a lovely day.
Jammie Brunch sounds great!! Happy Birthday to your grandson:)
thank you, df, it was really lovely :)
Good Mornting, Hunties! 😘
Interesting read
http://www.juancole.com/2015/11/christian-terrorism-candidates.html
Actually, A Must Read…
Interesting read, but the candidates must know that they are playing a dangerous game by trying to imply that they are Christian Soldiers. I have no problem if the person I’m voting for declares or declines to declare their faith. But what I do have a problem with is a politician that comes out trying to preach brimstone and hellfire. I don’t think a politician can effectively serve two masters.
Agreed…however, religion shouldn’t play a part AT ALL in their jobs! I don’t care if they pray 14 times a day or don’t pray at all….just keep your personal business to yourself!
Yep!
LOL :) Been there, done that!
LOL! Do tell, df! :-D
Nope!! :) Nice try though:)
Tee-hee! 😇
Gurl…I’ve been married to the same man for nearly 35 years now….that business (one time!) is loooooooooong gone!
Alrighty then, girlfriend! 😆
That business? Confession is good for the soul, I got that from Godfather III.
I just told you that you were a gentleman. Stop while you’re ahead:)
Okay
Been where done what?
such a gentleman:)
If you only knew.
:) You’re a good man.
Next we go to ben Carson in Jordan???
Like he’s some sage and we are all on pins and needles here, awaiting some prodigious remark?
Ain’t gonna happen MSM…
Lol
HAHAHAHA…Little Ben, thinking that going there will make him look smart and worldly…or something. Fool
UH-HUH……………………..FOR 3 HOURS…YOU CAN LEARN ALOT IN 3 HRS…..I BELIEVE THIS DOCTOR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN HIS OWN COLONOSCOPY!,,,:)
BTW…DOES HE EVEN REALIZE THEY ARE MAKING FUN OF HIM WHILE THEY ARE LOOKING AT HIM….THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!
and what did they think they would learn about Trump…that they did not know…”If it walk’s like a duck….”
Tell it Sister Pf!
I LOVE THIS GIRL…SHE’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
Are they saying that they just realized that they are being pimped? Most of the pastors I’ve grown up listening to or seeing can recognize a pimp move coming from a mile a away. LOL!!! I make myself laugh all the time.
Exactly!
Good morning TOD.
The NY Times had an in depth article on POTUS and his climate policy . I learned a lot and want to share some of the things that Douglas Brinkley who is a presidential historian, said.
.”He (PBO) comes to Paris with a moral authority that no other President has had on climate change. No other President has had a climate change policy. It makes him unique.”
Brinkley again, “If his domestic regulations and a Paris accord withstand efforts to change them, climate change will become the heart and soul of his Presidency.”
(The GOP opposition is predictably fierce. Even if it goes well in Paris they will vote 100 times or more to repeal and destroy the progress made. Same old party of utter destruction.)
I am cheering POTUS and the world on as they convene in Paris.
He is a President for the Ages on so many issues…thanks for this, Vicki. Nice to hear the tone of Douglas Brinkley’s statements. I always like listening to him.
Thanks Vicki!
Here it is…
AT STAKE MY SNEAKERS…HE’S DONE MORE FOR THIS COUNTRY THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVEN THOUGHT OF DOING…THIS COUNTRY IS FILLED WITH IGNORANT AND ARROGANT RACISTS WHO DON’T WANT TO HEAR TRUTH!
NERD !
Interesting…please let it be so

Have anyone seen a poll yet asking Americans about it’s fear of Domestic terrorism? I haven’t seen one yet.
bella made a funny….Nope. Never will either.
df, I will email a couple of shows and ask them why is that. News Day or This Week
Good day TOD ….

#Hope4ALL
No one with a clue doubts the veracity of this ….
Such a huge loss!
there must be a huge amount of fear and anguish ripping through the community;
I have been trying to figure out who could have ordered and/or committed this assassination;
could it be related to those who bombed the peace rally just before the election?
do you have any speculation on who did this?
the bullets spell out the name we all know - is this the “main suspect” behind the trigger
Yes, Linda. Without any question.
Just imagine ……
@GOP & US #NEWSTAINERS totally own this ….
Yup ….
bb tonight ….
SOUNDS ALOT LIKE MY EX-PASTOR’S WIFE…I PUT UP WITH THAT TRASH FOR 6 YEARS BECAUSE I’M AN OBAMA GIRL!
Maybe if we just gave them their country back none of this stuff would happen.
For those who do not believe that the MSM is a mouthpiece of the GOP and their allies….i rest my case
Good Morning, Everyone :)
Wow..Fierce article….he does not predict what the outcome will be…..but he does not offer hope and inspiration… that we can beat back the darkness of fear and despair….
i am not going to let the talons of gloom in this article pierce my heart or spirit….
it is time for white folks of good will to stand up and fight the darkness of fear and despair…
(i am encouraged that some will do so…i was encourage by much of the push back from some of the white bloggers on twitter: re the terror killings at PP)
…blk folks will continue to struggle as we always have…this is not new to us…we have no choice…
*****************
a lot will be told in 2016…as the DEMs select their Candidate…and of course the role of the President…
it should be rather earth shattering
This, in particular the ‘gifts’ part, made me think of DannyO and his mom.
Happy Sunday, TODobots! :)

PHUCK.OUTTA.HERE.
Carson after tour: Syrian refugees don’t want to come to US
Nov. 28, 2015 4:46 PM ET
AZRAQ REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan (AP) — After touring refugee camps in Jordan, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Saturday suggested that camps should serve as a long-term solution for millions, while other refugees could be absorbed by Middle Eastern countries.
“I did not detect any great desire for them to come to the United States,” Carson told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Jordan. “You’ve got these refugee camps that aren’t completely full. And all you need is the resources to be able to run them. Why do you need to create something else?”
