Hi Pond Family, it's hard to enjoy the summer with so much political distraction...and worry. Anyone who watched old movies knows that you can never pay a ransom. And you don't "give" $400 million to someone who wants to kill you.
Here is a story from Daily Mail Online. "The US secretly flew $400 million stashed inside wooden pallets out to Iran as four Americans were released from Tehran - but the Obama administration insists it was not a ransom payment." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3721000/Obama-sent-400m-Iran-American-prisoners-freed-administration-denies-paid-RANSOM.
I am baffled as to why so many people are democrats. Do they just enjoy the punishment?
“Because while Warren is standing up for a fairer tax code, Trump wants to cut taxes for the super-rich,” said Clinton. “Well, we’re not going there, my friends. I’m telling you, right now - we’re going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class!” http://www.dailywire.com/news/8050/watch-crowd-cheers-clintons-call-raise-taxes-robert-kraychik
I'm getting so depressed. I'm praying. I'm trying hard not to pay attention to the media, but it's relentless. And I'm getting the feeling that Trump isn't paying attention. Did he not believe that the media would treat him just the way they've treated every other Republican? Did he really not get that? Did he think he would be different? The Dems and the media are a well-oiled machine that works superbly to destroy anyone who gets in their way. It doesn't matter if what they say & print is true. Only Republicans get dinged on misrepresentations. Libs can always get away with anything. Always!
The nerve of Obama to lecture Trump on keeping what he learns in national security briefings secret. There is only one person running who has PROVEN to be careless with our national security and it isn't Trump.
I'm so frustrated. I thought the Trump team would be more savvy.
Donald Trump will be our next President. He is playing 3D chess while the "elites" in politics and media are playing checkers on an old board. Turn off the TV for just one week. During that time, read The Art of the Deal AND spend time at The Conservative Treehouse.
Trump has brought a paradigm shift many of us have been wanting for decades. There is a Monster Vote for Trump across the land. I'm loving every second of it!
Good Morning. How did Monday get here so fast? I was enjoying the weekend and the Olympics and here, in Seattle, we had Seafair with the Blue Angels.
I woke up today with my tiny radio pressed between my pillow and my ear. Hugh Hewitt was on. Good way to start the day. He mentioned two books. Don't know much about either one. (Dem or GOP?) One is "Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance. The other is Dick Morris' "Armageddon."
Surfie, I wish I could have your optimism about Trump winning. I'm like Eva. I'm scared the dems will win. Somehow they will cheat.
How's the rest of our Pond Family? Ponders need to know that all of our friends are okay.
Froggy said, "Tell my friends 'Hi'" and she went back to bed ...to return at a more reasonable time of day than 6am.
Today while driving back from seeing the kiddos I was listening to a talk radio program, I don't know who. He was explaining the connection between the stop trump group like Romney, Beck and others and the Mormon church. If I can find out how to find the station I will. I have been "pondering" this info all afternoon 'cause that is what Ponders do.
Did everyone see that bit about Harry Reid? Both candidates are supposed to begin receiving security briefs. Which is the way it is done. Old Harry proposed to give Trump fake briefs.
Hi Gloria, you are right about there is a lot to ponder about. No matter what Trump says, even by accident, we can't vote for the Hillary. What a travesty it will be if she wins.
I have been listening to Hugh Hewitt on the radio. I have a small one that fits nicely between my pillow and my ear. I don't think many people listen to talk radio anymore.
I don't listen to Hugh Hewitt anymore. His paycheck comes from Salem Media, and he wants to keep his paycheck. Salem Media is owned by an array of globalist elites who DO NOT want Trump to win. Trillions of dollars are at stake for them. Hillary will protect the global elite status quo.
Donald Trump has shined a light on so many people I used to respect. Hugh Hewitt, Mark Levin, Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen F. Hayes, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Bill Kristol (to name a few).
I wish all of you would go to either YouTube or The Conservative Treehouse and watch at least one of DJT's recent rally speeches. See him and listen to him personally. It will help you cut through the crap being spewed by "conservative" media. Our country is at stake. We can't afford a single one of us to be hand-wringing. We must put DJT in the White House, and do so with enthusiasm.

What the news readers call a cold front came in Friday evening. (Seriously, they called it a cold front in mid-August.) Knocked the temps down from 105 to about 90, and knocked the humidity level way down. It was so nice to step outside in the morning and not be hit by a blast furnace! I got a lot of work done in my little garden yesterday.
I need to clean my oven today, but can't stand the thought of using those chemical oven cleaners again. Talk about a toxic mess. I found a recipe for oven cleaner that uses Dawn dish soap, vinegar, baking soda. You basically make a paste, brush it onto a cold oven, let it sit for a couple of hours, then wipe it off. Hope it works. Keep your fingers crossed!
Love you, Deers. Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday.
PS: Do you remember ZurichMike from Lucianne? He's a Trump supporter, and said he doesn't feel welcome at Lucianne these days. He is a commenter at The Conservative Treehouse.
Surfie, thanks for letting me know about Hugh Hewitt and others. Froggy always kept me in the loop about who to trust. I never went very often to Lucianne. And I go even less since they were mean to Froggy. I'll ask Froggy about Zurich Mike.
(politics off)
Great info about cleaning oven, Surfie. Let us know how well it works. I love Dawn for the dishes. Glad you got a little cool-down on the weather. We can't complain up here in Seattle. A little toasty in the 80s. But it cools off to 60s at night. Very comfortable...especially if you wear shorts and sit in front of fan.
Anyone watching Olympics. Someone I know went to Rio to cheer on her son in the decathlon. His name is Jeremy Taiwo. I think he will be competing this Weds and Thursday. I didn't know what a decathlon was. Looked it up. Pretty amazing sport: running, shot put, pole vault, javelin, discus throw, and more running!
I will look for a new picture to put up on Pond today...before it gets too hot and I melt into a chair.
Wog, didn't that pool water business creep you out? It sure did me.
Surfie, I am right there with you. We only have about 3 months to go. Scott and I are divided now about candidates. He will not hear a bad word said about Cruz. No worries though he won't vote for Hill. One thing we should all be aware of is that Obama will plan to use martial law to influence the election. That is from emails that have been found out.
I also remember Zurich Mike. Is he still using the same name? I will look for his comments.
I saw the cutest video on facebook today. Check this out. https://youtu.be/M1F0lBnsnkE
