[Cleaning up the FUE-related off-topic comments was a chore.  Please try not to rile the gentleman with ad hominems relating to his appearance, education, career, etc – there is enough topic matter to highlight re his editorial policy, political ideology, and morality lectures to fill volumes.  And I propose that even these would be better suited for other blogs.  However, I do appreciate that RR sandboxes may be the only venues-of-response available to those readers who are gratuitously impugned on the FUE's website, since there he does not permit such reciprocity.  But do try to keep it to a dull roar on matters of substance, and eschew delving into comparative cosmetics, character, and morals.  Much grass.  gjr]

    I know how you all envy Texas’ free market no zoning (Houston) business model so I thought I would pass along this piece information pointing out just how screwed up Texas really is.
    As you all know, a person can own as many guns, with no limit on clips, as they want in Texas. What you didn’t know was that one person cannot own more than 6….. AS MANY GUNS AS YOU WANT BUT NOT MORE THAN SIX DILDOS.
    Need I say more?

    “The 49ers are in Washington, D.C. to take on the Redskins. NFLPA President DeMaurice Smith was also in attendance. This marks one of the first times that fans at FedEx Field, where the Redskins play, could be heard booing protesting players.”

    Well, 20 49ers took a knee last week, 6-7 today. Maybe the players should strike. That will endear their Idenity Politics to the fans. Meanwhile, the 49ers are still looking for the elusive first victory this season. To be fair, they are making the games close. Lost back to back games in OT. Akin to Hillary’s response when asked to compare her husband with Harvey Weinstein, “Close, but no cigar.”

    Hello, Dalai!
    We went to see the Sunday evening movie at the Nevada Theater last night, “The Last Dalai Lama?” an interesting documentary on the life and present of the 14th in his line. I’m not a follower of Tibetan Buddhism (no surprise I’m sure) but the Dalai Lama always has an interesting take on life, not to mention Star Trek (which, unfortunately, was not covered by the documentary).
    It was a large crowd that showed up with a long line to get in. A vigorous Nirvana Silly audience, I thought how they reacted to the movie would be interesting to share. First, many showed their understanding of His Holiness by light smirking at some of the questions being posed to HH by the folks interacting with him in the events held in his honor… yes, they probably were by folks who were not on an enlightened path, but the constant good natured Buddhist always had a pleasant and reasoned response.
    I think it was that sort of being treated as a curiosity that led Richard Feynman to avoiding visits to schools if an overall assembly was planned… he really did want to speak to small groups with a demonstrated interest in physics, not be trotted out so people could hear a real Nobel Prize Winning Physicist who didn’t have a clue… not that Feynman didn’t also want them to learn some physics and he did more than most to make that happen.
    There was a bit of a delayed reaction of the audience to George W. Bush’s speaking about the portrait of HH that he painted, surprisingly good but it was proper that he didn’t give up his day job … I’d say more than half of the folks that had a light giggle (a distinct tittering) at GW’s expense didn’t grok who it was until GWB face was shown. But there was no hate for GW. I think they may have been surprised that Bush was the first President to appear in public with the Dalai Lama and that the Chinese Premier did not like it one bit.
    The hate was on full display moments later during a segment on the presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal the Dalai Lama visited the US to receive in 2007. Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke and there was no reaction from anyone… but when Mitch McConnell took the dais and began speaking (something innocuous about HH) there was active hissing from the audience, a large minority expressing their displeasure at the mere appearance of the Senator from Kentucky.
    I could not help but think that they had not heard a word that had been said by the Dalai Lama in the previous hour and they were the folks who most needed to hear it.

    Serves her right after blaming Nigel Farage for her unprecedented impossible loss. I like Nigel. Now she is also blaming Brexit for her loss. The hits never end.
    https://youtu.be/HDlKaMoMdk4
    Did she break her foot or cankle? Either way, those cankles have giving her balance problems after consuming Chardonnay.
    Now, hating on Nigel seems like a stretch for blaming him for her shocking, yet predictable, humiliating defeat at the hands of a “silver backed gorilla” alpha male. On my. Nigel did say she should rename What Happened to The Great Big Whinge.
    Whinge: to complain, especially about something that does not seem important:
    Oh stop whinging, for heaven’s sake!
    She’s always whingeing (on) about something.
    Whinge: Complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.
    ‘stop whingeing and get on with it!’
    ‘a whingeing killjoy’
    Fun facts about Whinge: When “hwinan” became “whinen” in Middle English, it meant “to wail distressfully”; “whine” didn’t acquire its “complain” sense until the 16th century. “Whinge,” on the other hand, comes from a different Old English verb, “hwinsian,” which means “to wail or moan discontentedly.” “Whinge” retains that original sense today.
    That’s My Gal!

    The Deplorables in Texas Floodwaters
    I didn’t see anyone there from Black Lives Matter, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Democratic Party, Hollywood libs, or any other social justice warriors out there helping the thousands of black families who had lost everything in the flood. No one but us heartless Christians, conservatives, and other deplorables.
    The liberal newspapers and TV networks can continue to try to divide us, call us racists, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, white supremacists, fascists, and worse. Let the leftist professors and their student “snowflakes” in the universities whine and cry about “micro-aggressions” and “trigger warnings.” Let them take offense at every imagined “politically incorrect” comment and run for their “safe spaces” and riot in the streets.
    Meanwhile, real Americans – men and women of every race, ethnicity, nationality, and faith – came together and proved them wrong every day through our relief efforts. Almost overnight in Dallas, and in many other relief shelters in Texas and other states, compassionate Americans built truly safe spaces for thousands of our brothers and sisters and their children in desperate need.

    I could not believe it when I read Comey wrote his exoneration term paper months before he dropped the case, just after the tarmac meeting and right before the DNC Convention. He had to clear her before the DNC Confad. All along I figure he wrote his memo and cleaned up the details with eraser and red pencil in hand….maybe three weeks prior. But months before! And he interviewed her as well, months before he declared her “extreme carelessness” in handling of classified government owned documents wasn’t up to snuff. He never explained how extreme carelessness differs from gross negligence in terms of the law….a subject he neatly avoided.
    Comey thought at that time he, as well as AG “love is the answer” Lynch, was quite secure in his job. Both thought wrong. Hillary already promised Loretta the gig at Justice and Comey knew which side his bread was buttered in. Then Trump ruin’t everything. Oh, the greatest plans of mice and men have failed again.
    Always felt that Comey was just looking out for nobody put himself. Just like My Gal. Still do on every move they both make.
