I agree that we should help Ukraine more but I think Trump is putting pressure on Europe to pick up at least half the Tab.  For too many years we have carried the burden of World defense.  We are 40 Trillion+- in debt while almost everyone says we are the richest country in the world.  I don't mind helping but until we solve our debt problem I think we need to be cautious about our spending.  Thanks!

Frank W. Jim C. Yes, and when Ukraine Wins, they should be as the Winners, entitled to lay claim to all the Natural Resources that Russia has in its Storehouse on paper, and on site, to fully Reimburse Ukraine for the Destruction of Things, and People that Ukraine has had to Shoulder for the years that Russia has tired to elominate them and their Country from the Face of the Earth. Trump is not wholly Right in his Reluctance to help support Ukraine, But I don't see Ukraine as a European Ally who has gotten Support from the USA in the past, excluding what Biden did with Ukraine getting 1.6 Billion Dollars from Obama's Presidency only if Ukraines Chief Prosecutor quit investigating Hunter Biden for his involvement with Russia in Burisma, a Russian Energy Company.involved in Ukrainian Energy Business. It appears Trump's Trearment of Ukraine has benefitted them Well, they are now beatig the Tar out of Russia as I write This.

$3.90/gal @ COSTCO today. I can't believe I'm actually grateful for that lousy price. It's true that if told a lie often enough, it soon begins to sound true.  Same with the price of gas coming down to under $4 being a good thing. That's why we should dig in and not fall for the "lefts" BS.  No matter how many times they speak, it's still hatred for Trump, capitalism and our Country.  I hope the Iran cease fire holds...but I don't believe it will.  We're going to have to finish this. God help us.

AMERICA FIRST!

I have deep concerns that the Iran deal will eventually fall apart and after the midterms we'll finish the job with Iran. The only way to rid Iran of the IRGC and radical clerics is to kill everyone of them.

I like the progress we have made so far on the  Iran issue.   "Carrots and Sticks" are something Iran might finally understand.  The BIG difference is that we, America, are not releasing any financial rewards until we see progress toward Iran performing and based on what we're hearing so far, Iran will have to do things they haven't done before.  They have never allowed inspectors in.  A-Hole Obama has been running his mouth about the good deal he made (the JCPOA).  The GIANT difference is that while Iran signed the deal that they would allow inspections------they never did and they enriched uranium to near weapons grade.  There were no sticks and Iran went into turbo mode enriching uranium as Obama\Kerry decided to give the billions+- "in cash" to beg them to play nice.  Obviously, they saw how stupidly weak Obama was so they continued to say no to inspections and continue to enrich uranium.  So, here's where Sticks come in.  Trump gave them multiple warnings and then whacked the crap out of them with a "BIG" stick.  He then told them, "Play nice or we will hit you harder tomorrow!"        We don't know exactly what the agreement says but I think Iran knows we will kick their ass again if they don't perform.  4-Star General Jack Keane made an interesting statement today that reminded me about Mike Kelly's statement about the Marshal Plan.  Gen. Keane reminded everyone that the difference with releasing money to Iran is different than releasing money to rebuild Germany because Germany DID have regime change.  Point taken!!  I 100% believe Trump will hammer Iran again if they don't perform.  My worry is that another weak Democrat might be elected President and Iran will pursue their nuclear weapons again.

Forty seven years of yelling death to America and forty seven years of broken promises and agreements does not give me any warm and fuzzy feelings that Iran will actually hold to the agreement. And when they don't, I hope Trump figures a way to arm the civilian population so they can mount their own internal up rising and take out the regime and the guard. Sure don't want to see our troops on the ground. But an even bigger question is why on earth are so many people not concerned about Iran acquiring nucliear weapons. I guess they will only kill my neighbor and me and my family will be safe. Sure wish we could find a way to fix stupid.

Paul Sparks.  Happy Birthday Navy.  You ol' scudder.   And thank you for your service.

When Dealing with the Islamists (I dasn't say the M word) it is best to always remember that According to their own version of god's instruction book, the Quaran, that it is actually stated that "It is okay to lie to the Infidels" So, as we contemplate the New Deal, Treaty, Memo of Misunderstanding, etc.  whatever you desire to style it, it wont last maybe half of the Gerald Ford's underway distance out of the Straits of Hormuz; Just an Exercise for the Democrats to show "See we actually put the Muscle in the Deal"  not the Trump. Then more rioting in Minnesota against ICE and Demonstrations by Nimrods who will never be more than Grocery Boys. To quote the Wisdom of Aunt Jemimah, you know the Pancake Lady until the Dems got her thrown off her own Box, 'Its not that Life is Wearisome, No, its just that it is so Daily:"

How many Treaties have we had  where these Robed Sons of Satan have gotten bundlies of Cash because-------Who knows why?

I am not going to say I am Sorry, Im not. Our Jewish Friends are probably Seething underneath, because the only way to get rid of these Tunnel Diggers, is to Dynamite all the Tunnels into oblivion. If we don't again in a year, they will be out chanting in the streets, with their Goats, and the rest of their Jihad Kits. 

Your classified as Insane If you keep repeating the Same Thing, unless you are a Sadist or some other twisted being. 

What do you think this RCF will turn into under Craven Gruesome?

Bill RIHS

Les, stupid is an incurable disease! I say when the deal blows up and we blow the shit out of them again the Israelis and Gulf states put boots on the ground and kill all the IRGC and radical cleric. I know, not very Christian of me. This evil needs to be destroyed.

I have to tell a funny story about Danny DeSpain.  He attended Madison #2.  When I was 8 or 9 years old he and I were on the same Little League team.  He used to lay down in the outfield during practices.  It drove the Coach crazy!

Michael Kelly

Frank W.  Re: your Danny DeSpain story. That is either a real demonstration of a "Type B" personality, or he just needed his rest.

Michael Kelly

Well Said Bill, and with an Economy of Words. For me, it may be too late.

Hey all, I have been getting things from Kim Komando for years, but only recently started paying attention. I get a newsletter from her every morning. It's full of some good information seems like almost every day. Scams, hacks, etc. I'm not very techy but pick up a lot of tips from her stuff. It's totally FREE and it's now the only newsletter I read daily and faithfully. Thought you might like to take a look. If you like it, keep reading. If not, just unsubscribe. Oh, she does push products and sure she gets a fee, but that's why the newsletter is free. I did buy incogni based on her newsletter. They have now removed my information from about 1200 data brokers and counting. http://thecurrent.komando.com/subscribe?ref=izHPXrsdRI

My Opinion on the New Agreement with Iran. When your dealing with the Devil, you Can't. At least we if we are at all Fiar Minded, can say at least we didn't have some Ivy League Doctorate Trained Governmenr Lifer dealing with them. WE GAVE PEACE A CHANCE. Now we know that is out of the Way, might as well know next time, and there will be, we can go in and Clean Sweep it. 

Michael Kelly

Iran Deal Part 2, I really don't think it is very smart giving them 300 Billion Bucks, this is what Obama gave them last time, Hillary delivered it. Remember her Thick Glasses from the Plane Crash in the Desert hautling the money over there to them. Maybe if we are going to, send Hillary with this Load too. Don't like them getting all Sanctions lifted also. Don't like them being able to lord it over the Straits of Hormuz. 

The outcome of this effort, is also attributable to the Democrats, who set about sniping at the Heels of Trump to force him to operate withith a fictional deadline because they wanted a Declaration of War before we went further, and of course, they would have Voted against it. because it was Truimp

David Rainwater

Michael: it's true Iran received cash from the US (from a frozen legal settlement) as part of the JCPOA deal, but it was $1.7B, not $300B.  If $1.7B was enough to fill a plane, how many will be needed to transfer the $300B?

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's!

Have you seen where the Chicago Black Contractors Association has come out against Obama.  It seems he has stiffed them on $4,000,000.00 of work they performed on his Library.  What a guy!!  

Frank Wiley

Correction:  It's the African American Contractors Association.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY JOHNSON. (Papscun). I hope you are having a great day.

Jim Coats

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY!  Still pretty.  It was good to see you at the reunion.

Hey Gang,

I just heard from Michael Wetzel and unfortunately the news was not really great.

He has had lower back issues for years and finally got into surgery... unfortunately and apparently, he got some sort or infection or peripheral issue from the anesthetic used in his operation.

He's been mover to Sante Care Center in North Scottsdale and has been there for the last six weeks and may be there for at least another two weeks.

He misses us all and sends his best.  He asked me to let you all know, so I believe he doesn't have access to a computer.  I won't publish his phone number here, but I believe moat of you have my number and if you call me, I will give you his number should you like to call and wish him well.

I can tell you this: he is emotionally down and could use a 'cheer up call'.  He was so out of it he couldn't even tell me where he was.  It took several calls to figure it out.  

Let him know he still matters...

MyBest,

Brad Musil

ps: if you need my number PM me and I will respond...

I hope that the Democrats in our Class are as concerned about some of the direction their party is going, is not good for America!  When some people embrace the title "Socialist" they are minimizing or more concerning, they are slowly exposing what they really are.  Communist!!  They aren't really in to helping the masses, they are are in to helping themselves.  They hate the rich because they envy the rich.  Did Mandami continue to live where he lived before he became Mayor of New York?  No, he moved into Gracie Mansion.  Yes, I know he needed to move into a more secure environment but he could have moved into much lower cost housing and moved some poor people into Gracie Mansion.  Read the book, "Elon Musk".  The Democratic "Socialist" of America hate him.  Elon Musk is the ultimate example of the American Dream.  He came to America, from South Africa with almost no money but knowing that he could build a life with hard work.  Some Liberals will say, "Oh yeah, but he's white.  What an insult to African Americans!!  There are thousands of African Americans who are living and thriving in the American Dream.  I would have voted for JFK, I would have voted for Bobby Kennedy, but way back when I was young I recognized the Democratic Party was moving in a strange direction.  Lyndon Johnson wasn't "Left" enough for them.  Americans had a choice, Richard Nixon or Hubert Humphrey.  Americans chose Nixon.  I pinched my nose and voted for Nixon because he was the least of evils.  I had marginal choices until Reagan.  Although I will stand with Trump although he's abusive.(If I had gone through the F. Bull he did, I would not be happy).  Trump "LOVES" America!!!!!!  Reagan could gain consensus with friendly manipulation.  When Reagan was President he would sit down with Tip O'Neal a have a drink and work things out.  Tip O'Neal was a Left Wing Boston Liberal.  I'm afraid that we might not be able to get to that point.  On our 250th Anniversary of declaring Our Independence from the British Empire I am open to to Sane discussion of our future.  Remember, it was "AFTER" our Declaration that most of the blood was spilled to win our freedom.  It's amazing and comforting to me to watch the World come to Our Country and embrace what we have!!  God Bless America!!!!!  Sorry this was so long--but!!
