[President Trump made the most populist and unambiguous pro-America inauguration speech in history today.  In many ways it was an 'in your face' indictment of his predecessor.  Now it is time to deliver.  Godspeed to our new President!  gjr]

    @BillT – I feel your pain, man! But, seriously, Trump does need to play the game politicians play. He won the friggin’ election already. He needs to stop spewing slogans to his base and starting thinking big picture now!
    Maybe the inauguration speech will be his last America First chant fest. Just get on with it. The world is watching.

    Frisch 347, you’re making crap up again. What powerless women? They had something Trump wanted and some didn’t play.
    And who is “Tozar” and why am I to be their keeper?
    Now, powerless… that arguably was Paula Jones, when a Governor Clinton was using state troopers to find him a state employee to polish his pole. Clinton was disbarred after he lied under oath in the Jones case, claiming that he didn’t have anyone at the White House doing to him what he had allegedly asked Jones to do, now also known as “a Lewinsky”. Powerless was also arguably Bill Clinton when Lewinsky made herself available… like a moth to a flame he was.
    That dynamic goes all the way down to high school athletes. Ah, the barely pubescent power couples, can anyone forget? The entitled varsity lettered learn they are special at an early age… the girls are in on that.
    Aristophenes’ comedy, Lysistrata, was first performed in Athens in 411 BC… nothing new to see here.

    …and the democrats lauded Comey after his initial investigation yielded nothing he deemed prosecutable, heaped praise upon him for his professionalism and evenhandedness……and called him a Republican operative after he briefly reopened it when Weiners laptop turned up!
    Harry Reid referred to him thusly….

    โ€œI love Hillary Clinton, Iโ€™m sorry she lost, I did everything I could to help,โ€ Reid explained. โ€œThere is no question in my mind, she would have won this election without any problem if Comey had not been the Republican operative that he is.โ€

    BradC, Harry Reid is gone and the country is much better off. He was a crook who gained millions in land deals and phony deeds using his office as leverage. Nothing he says is true. But I do thank him and his fellow demoncrats for one thing. 50 plus one gets us a judge and a cabinet member. The only thing Reid ever did that was lawful.

    Had to go look… it was 1985. Still well worth reading:

    The most intellectually scrupulous of today’s Democrats accept the unpleasant truths that social scientists are now telling us about the welfare state. It destroys incentiye. It breaks up families. It does very little for the abject poorโ€”except lock them and their children into a nightmarish cycle of dependency. But rather than just scrapping the New Deal/Great Society nostrums, the new Democrats propose to replace the old, discredited programs with new and improved schemes cooked up deep in some public policy laboratory.

    Rice subsidies started later on Gregory. Any LaMalfa types have sucked the tit for 14 Billion since 1995. Then they complain about food stamps for the poor.
    From the Cato Institute
    “Americans pay for the rice program three times overโ€”as taxpayers, as consumers, and as workers. Direct taxpayer subsidies to the rice sector have averaged $1 billion a year since 1998 and are projected to average $700 million a year through 2015. Tariffs on imported rice drive up prices for consumers, and the rice program imposes a drag on the U.S. economy generally through a misallocation of resources. Rice payments tend to be concentrated among a small number of large producers.”

    WTF does this article have to do with anything Walt? Of course I am against violence….as I am almost certain Paul is…so what is your point, that violence can be perpetrated by both men and women? I haven’t heard of Trump claiming more than a dozen women sexually assaulted him, nor have I heard of him being paid to settle out of court with any women that sexually assaulted him…but there is a pretty extensive record, albeit not adjudicated, to the contrary.

    Not a proponent of ag subsidies, but the farmers getting subsidies do produce stuff we eat and competitively export to world markets. But what do the food stamps recipients produce other than a burden on our sewer systems and the occasional gang banger? The glib equating of the two ‘sucking off the govt tit’ doesn’t exactly fly.

    The tape was released not because of any evidentiary value, but just to cause Trump grief.

    Regarding subsidies. The government tells the farmer what and how much to grow. Regulates them worse than a builder and then has to subsidize their operation because of all that interference. And the farmer must compete against all those countries that subsidize their farmers. So I am amazed LaMalfa can even plow a furrow for goodness sake.

    George, yes, farmers grow food and the basic rule of even the concrete jungle is Eat or Be Eaten. Growing food is a good thing. I think it amazing that four score years later, the federalists still think they can create a more efficient market than the farmers, distribution and retail businesses can.

    Todd. That’s why many farm in the Ca. valley has been turned into planned communities and strip malls. I can safely say, LIBS are directly responsible for the “pave over”. Regulated right out of business.
    Don’t forget about the other farmers that had their water cut off. The LIBvilles and backyard swimming pools had priority. ” Why grow food here? We can get it cheaper from other third world counties.”
    Fome my can of pineapple. ” A product of Indonesia.” The “fresh” pineapple I got at the store today.” Product of Ecuador”. Bananas. From Mexico.
    The sugar crops in Hawaii are gone. Extinct. The last plant shut down just last month.
    It’s cheaper to get it somewhere else. Now it gets shipped in from the mainland.
    LIBS would love to have us dependant of foreign growers. With any luck that will now change.
