John McCain's Death and CNN twists the story to be about Trump (Can't they let it go for a few days?)

I saw Former Massachusetts Governor John Sununu  being interviewed on CNN. It blew my mind. He was talking about Senator McCain and telling personal stories and it was all good.. Then, at the 4:00 mark,Ms. Camerota decided it was time to ask him what he thought about President Trump's "rejecting" putting out an official White House statement.. She quoted the Washington Post and he said he didn't believe it. Then she told him CNN's people verified  it and he kinda rolled his eyes..(CNN  has had a few anti-Trump stories that had to be retracted.) She was mad as a wet hen!!! She spent the last 5 minutes of a 10 minute interview trying to get Sununu to  condemn President Trump.. She was obviously offended that this old-school Republican didn't want to bad-mouth a sitting President and only wanted to speak well of his FRIEND. This was the purpose of the interview as he understood.  She got more mad and by the end of  the interview, her cheeks were flushed and the old man had a little smirk on his face.
   
Why can't we all just get along?

  I understand that emotions run high on both sides of the aisle, but couldn't  the CNN reporter Camerota, who is supposed to be a JOURNALIST, just interview the man for what he was asked to come talk about?  Instead, she insisted they talk about how bad Trump was behaving by not putting out an OFFICIAL WHITEHOUSE statement!

I think we should all look at ourselves from time to time and see if we have been that hateful to anyone with which we have disagreed. If so, that person has an apology coming.  ADULTS should be able to disagree about politics without having that much anger. I make a point to never use personal attacks and if the person I am debating is starting to get angry, I try to change the subject. Emotion has no place in politics. 

I found the clip on youtube so you can judge for yourself.
Camerota vs Sununu interview/debate         And if you doubt that CNN has some issues, Anonymous Official channel has a pretty good video up entitled, "CNN Busted".  You can't help but watch it and snicker.

Hurricane Season is here!! Are you prepared?

Every year there are on average 17 deaths due to Hurricanes in the continental US.         Last year, 2017, Hurricane Harvey was blamed for 68  storm-related deaths and in 2013.  Hurricane Sandy, in 2012, killed 71 in the US out of the 147 deaths attributed to it.        This is serious, folks!     According to FEMA, (We're from the government and we're here to help.), YOU NEED 72-96 HOURS of food and water before you can count on them to show up!  We have that much warning before  one makes landfall. Its pretty easy to be prepared for it, but people won't do it. "I will be fine."  Yeah, those dead Fathers, Mothers, and children thought the same thing.  If you live on the coast and don't have a rubber maid Roughneck container in 18-35 gallon size, ($10.00 at Home Depot) with the basics, you suck as an adult/parent!!             Acc...

Sittin' with the chickens

     I recently decided I wanted some chickens. Probably because I eat about 3-4 eggs a day as part of my KETO-ish diet and I know that "homegrown" eggs are better. (Ask any baker.)  I had chickens in the past, so I knew what I was getting into. I was debating wheather to refit the goat shed behind the barn, (Dad had it as a chicken pen, then a miniature horse pen, then I changed it to a goat pen..).       About that time, a like-minded friend posted on CrackBook that he was moving and if anybody wanted his chicken pen, they could come take it down. I JUMPED at that offer. I worked for about 2 hours and had it all in the back of my truck. (He also loaded me up with some cool stuff.)             So I got home and after a couple days, (Ok, a week..or so..or maybe two...), I started building the pen.. It was a lot harder to take down the stock panels than it was to put them up. I took do...
