The Red Cross is a very deserving organization. When a tornado hit the small MO town where my parents live, the whole town was without water, power or phones for weeks. Yet, somehow the Red Cross was there providing emergency supplies within hours.

I've seen close up the devastation that a tornado can do to a community. Our prayers go out those families affected by this tragedy.

Explains so much. If it were only true. Best laugh of the day.

Close....she's 73 but looks and acts much older.

In one week we have dinner with my husband's brothers and wives. If these folks, some of the most liberal, socialist people I know, even so much as bat an eye about Obama and/or his administration's recent scandals....only then I will jump on the impeachment bandwagon. My gut tells me that they will do the usual "let's blame the Republican's" and won't blame Obama for anything.

Playing the conspiracy card....you "think" 3MM SoCons stayed home and didn't vote. It's possible that voter suppression/illegal voting is yet another scandal that's amongst the scandals floating to the top inside this Pandora's box called the Obama administration.

Same thing happened to us a few years back. Pulled up to a stoplight, looked over to my right and saw a guy beating a girl in a car that had pulled over. We immediately pulled over, called the police, and circled the car so the guy knew we saw what was going on. When the police arrived, "said" girlfriend didn't want to press charges but she didn't have that choice once the police are called on a domestic dispute. He went to jail. She was mad at us for interfering.

We are confident we did the right thing...as did you. It's unbelievable that some women will submit themselves to this type of behavior more than once.

My little group at work is ready to step up and receive this jackpot. We've already developed our exit strategy and it would be so much fun to put it into play.

Love this family so much. Lots of great fun right there!

I'm not terribly fond of HOA's. Having built our home in a newly established neighborhood with the knowledge that an HOA did not exist, we were astonished to find out months later that an HOA was in place and the regulations were written and chartered with the state by the developer. Not one homeowner was involved because the HOA was written prior to even one home being built. Some of the regulations were costly for the small neighborhood but we were stuck.

New neighborhoods with young families generally are very interested in their properties and we had no problems attracting neighbors to be on the board.  Both my husband and I took turns filling one position or another over a period of ten years.

Fast forward 26 years...we are the only remaining original homeowners in this subdivision.  The HOA died a sad death several years ago. No one wanted board positions and finally the charter met the term limit.  The neighborhood isn't any worse for the wear because it's gone. 

We are free to do what we want now. I'm just giddy with the prospect of installing an outdoor clothes line. Freedom!

He's done but he's not going anywhere. Unfortunately.

He didn't give any second chances to live to the babies he aborted. Not sure why we should give him anything different than what he gave them.

All of these scandals are meaningless unless significant heads roll and I don't mean those "lower-level" government bots. If this was the Bush WH or some other GOP-led activity, organization, whatever...you know that the finger-pointing would go all the way up and someone would be sacrificed to appease the gods of the Left.

Time for the GOP to put on their big boy pants and see this thing all the way through. Time for the MSM to act like real "non-partisan" journalists and investigate all the sordid details and connect the dots no matter who is responsible. Time for those "low-level" voters to wake up, pay attention and demand action.

As many of you have stated, trust and accountability is on the line here.

Serves the MSM right if you ask me. They've done nothing but act like lapdogs for over five years. What is that old saying? When you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

How was he received? Those of us who live in the area didn't even know of his visit. No local KC stations reported on it and the KC Star would never mention it. Likely it played well in Atchison though.

On a side note, his next flight for the final leg home was also marred by a mechanical problem (never divulged) and arriving home to find that his luggage had not made the ride with him. It arrived around 5:30 this morning. I would imagine that the airline noted this as a typical day at the office.
