              Well I went to bed still angry.

              I woke up this morning did some running around, made some tea and sat down to take a break and that rat bastage Ted is on FOX saying that he is not ready to endorse Trump.

              Ted has gone so far as to say he isn’t even sure that he will vote for Trump.

              He is chastising audience members and sounding like the self important piece of human filth the he is. Ted is actually comparing his standing up to to McConnell and Boener to his “brave” standing up to Trump and trying to make Trump who Ted demands that he be.

              Ted is painting himself as a hero for standing up for the principles of the his voters.

              I’d like to kick him square in the teeth. And now loser Ted is giving Trump advice on how to win.

              Ted’s advice to Trump is to not make the election about Trump but about freedom.

              Good grief.

              Vomit tray and curse jar needed.

              Go to hell Ted!

                I watched funny baby and puppy videos, then I prayed, so I went to bed anger free.
                It’s been a busy morning so I haven’t caught any of the morning after.
                It sounds like Cruz can’t help but be stupid. His 15 minutes of fame will soon be over and he’ll soon learn his very small group of rabid supporters, that shrank to even smaller numbers last night will not be enough to even elect him dog catcher, much less President.

                  If my daughter has another boy they’re naming him Waylon. I laughed and told her all those years of forcing her to listen Waylon Jennings influenced her decision. lol

                  She told me she wasn’t naming him Waylon after Waylon Jennings, she didn’t even think of that. She was naming him that because I had too many siblings who all have kids and many of their kids have kids and there aren’t many names left and she likes the name. lol

                    I’m probably the Outlaws album’s greatest fan, from the numbers of copies I have from the 1st edition vinyl to CDs I think I was largely responsible for it going platinum/gold. Not a bad name at all, not at all.

                    Our music goes way back to the early days of country and rock up until the 80’s when music started to become crap.
                    Very few CDs we have from the 90’s up to today.

                    I’m fine with the name, I’m just happy the kids don’t name my grandkids some of these crazy names people come up with today.

                    I found C&W in the late 50s and I’m still heavy into the early-to-mid 60s artists. With a few exceptions I’m not a big fan of modern country rock, my old stuff’s good enough.

                Cruz will be forgotten in a few days, with the exception of the ads that Hillary and democrats will run.
                If Trump wins and does no more than build a wall and enforce our deportation laws, Cruz will be remembered as the guy who tried to upend that. If Trump loses Cruz will be remembered as the man who helped elect Hillary.
                Either way, come 2018 I believe Texans will have it stuck in the back of their minds what he did and he will lose in the primaries after his opponent runs the clip of his speech and the ads ran by Hillary for those Texans with short memories.

                Instead of anger this morning, I’m just amazed at how stupid this man is.

    Mike Huckabee, on Facebook:

    Mike Huckabee
    1 hr ·

    The question of the night was whether Ted Cruz would honor his word and support the nominee or earn the moniker “Lyin Ted” given to him by the man who won. The question was whether Cruz would make his speech about HIS future or the future of the country. And that question was answered when Ted Cruz chose to not keep his word that he (along with me and every other GOP candidate) gave one year ago in that very arena where tonight he put his own ambitions above country.

    Donald Trump did something no previous nominee has done—he allowed Ted Cruz to speak without his promising to support the nominee. I’ve spoken at every convention since 1992, and I can attest to the fact that no one got near that stage without supporting the nominee. Trump trusted Ted and was rewarded with a betrayal, but the delegates in that arena booed Cruz off the stage and out of Cleveland.

    I’m certain that many of you will react harshly and angrily to my words. So be it. But when a person gives his word, he should keep it. When a person is treated with generosity to give a speech, he should either respond with respect or graciously decline. And when a person loses, he should accept the will of the voters and then offer support to the victor of the primary to defeat the anti-gun, pro-abortion, incompetent, dishonest, and dishonorable nominee of the Democrat party.

    So fire away with your comments, Facebook Friends. But from where I sit, I didn’t see a statesman step forth for the country’s future. I saw a self-absorbed politician grab the microphone and try to line up his own future. Ted walked in tall and walked out small.

    — The move comes after a review of Airbnb’s practices highlighted the importance of fighting explicit racism and implicit biases
    — The review was launched after a North Carolina host fired off hateful, race-based messages to a black woman while canceling a stay she had booked
    — Former Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to join Airbnb to ‘craft a world-class anti-discrimination policy’

    Aldrin Reveals What Really Happened During Weird Radio Silence at 1st Moon Landing

    http://conservativetribune.com/aldrin-silence-moon-landing/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=PostTopSharingButtons&utm_content=2016-07-21&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons

    That silence was no mistake. In fact, it was a planned time of rest, and Aldrin explained how it came to be in his story, “An Astronaut Tells of a little-known but Significant Event on the Moon,” published in 1970, and in his book, “Return to Earth,” published in 1973.

    Aldrin asked for radio silence because of a lawsuit brought against NASA by atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair, who objected to Apollo 8’s crew reading the first chapter of the book of Genesis in their Christmas radio transmission.

    Aldrin used the moments of silence to partake in communion. He said he had struggled to find the “right symbol for the first lunar landing,” and after discussions with his pastor, decided that a personal communion would help express that what man was doing “transcended electronics and computers and rockets,” WND reported.

    “I wondered if it might be possible to take communion on the moon, symbolizing the thought that God was revealing Himself there too, as man reached out into the universe. For there are many of us in the NASA program who do trust that what we are doing is part of God’s eternal plan for man,” Aldrin said. …

      I love that. The first food and drink consumed by humanity when we first touched another world was Holy Communion and joining with God.

      We knew how to do things right, once upon a time. Hopefully we will regain that knowledge.

      BTW, the HBO series “From the Earth to the Moon” is well worth watching, even if you’ve seen it before.

        Considering that weight on the trip was critical critical and everyone and everything had to be weighed down to the last ounce showed what they considered important. Also explains the disasters they avoided by the skin of their teeth…except for Ms O’Hair…but them by now she knows.

    Afternoon, guys. I’ve got to drag myself up and out for an unplanned trip to the dentist shortly. Last night, as I was watching the convention and eating a nice meal of chicken and rice (with a teeny bit of veggies thrown in), I was chewing away while watching and felt something odd going on in there. At first it felt like something was stuck on one of the back molars, so I had to poke around but I couldn’t feel anything (gross.) Eventually, after a few more bites of food, I realized there was something strange in the interior mix (gross). Turned out to be one of my crowns, which just fell off. Fortunately, I didn’t swallow it. The little sucker is worth something, since it’s gold.

    I cleaned it up, because it was full of rice (gross) and will be glad when they’ve glued it back on, since my tongue is getting a little beat up from constantly poking into the jaggedy hole. Really gross. Wish me luck and hopes and prayers that nothing else has to be done except just putting it back. My teeth got really messed up when I was so sick, and I’ve still got some more work ongoing. Just hope this one wasn’t one of the problems that will require re-doing the whole thing.

          I lucked out, gotta Christian small-town dentist. I went to hos competition first, I had no idea and was shopping with a toothache, and Doc 1 told me that it would require oral surgery for me and a new boat for him. I was a bit skeptical so I looked in our tiny local phone book and there was smiling doc #2 with a fish symbol inconspicuously placed in hid ad. I picked up my x-rays from doc 1 and doc 2 had me walk right in.
          After an exam and a look at the x-rays he said the only problem he saw was my toothache was being caused by a cavity under a bad bridge and I’d need a new bridge and a root canal. No reason at all for that extra surgery and I came out with paying 1/3rd of what doc 1 wanted.
          My old dentist in NOLA, aptly named Bubba, used to schedule me for his last appointment. He and I would drink his free bourbon – he’d adjust the booze doses to the length of the session so he wouldn’t be too smashed to go on. One day when installing a temporary crown he went a bit overboard and ended up permanently cementing a temp cap in place – it’s still there some 25 years later. More than 25 years later and more than one dentist when asking me why there’s a temp crown way back there gets a kick out of the story. Bubba, RIP, was a helluva dentist.

            Great story. I’m thankful we found our dentist and he’s good, even though he’s a 30-minute drive and there are some nearer. He was recommended by our real estate lady. He and his daughter work together now….she went for her degree to go into the business with her dad. They are a Christian group…Bibles and Christian reading material all over the waiting room. I am still surprised and grateful when I find such things as this out in public after living in the god-free, pc DC pits of hell for so many years. What a huge difference it now makes in this country — where you actually live.

            They glued me back together and it only took a few minutes, thank goodness. No needles. They were so kind to get me in after their normal closing time and fix it, just so I didn’t have to wait over the weekend. It is one of the teeth they had on the list to be fixed, so I’ll be getting a new crown, but not today. Hallelujah! Back in time to rest a little and get ready to watch the big show tonight.

    Cruz is going around today saying Trump attacked his wife and his father so that’s why he wouldn’t endorse him.
    I hate it when people lie and tell half truths, like he did with saying that and then adding it’s not a game and it’s not politics. He’s acting like a democrat making the facts what he says they are to try to gain some kind of sympathy for what I’m sure he now realizes was a big screw up.

    The facts as I remember them.
    A pro-Cruz PAC ran an ad in Utah with a nude picture of Melanie Trump that said, “Meet Melanie Trump, your New First Lady or You Could Support Ted Cruz on Tuesday.”

    Trump in response to that tweeted: “Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a photo of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!” Then he retweeted a picture of Heidi and Melanie with the caption, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

    That is the so called attack on his wife.
    Give it a rest already whinin’ Ted, your people attacked a wife first and actually it started before that picture, a Texas based lobbyist and Cruz supporter said on television, “If Donald trump is elected, Mrs. Trump will be the first first lady that has ever posed nude; the first first lady that’s the third wife [of the president]; and the first foreign-born first lady in this century.” Even farther back Glenn Beck wrote on FB, “the First Lady would be the first to have posed nude in lesbian porno shots.”
    Trump still was the bigger man and allowed you to speak.

    As for his father, if memory serves me correct the National Enquirer published a photo they said was Rafael Cruz with Lee Harvey Oswald.
    Trump addressed it in an interview and something about Ted’s father being with Oswald before he was shot and asked what was he doing with him, that it’s terrible.
    However, this was after Ted’s father went on attack against Trump basically calling him the village idiot and if you voted according to the Word of God you could only vote for his son.

    Sorry Ted that is politics you attack or you put your family out there to attack and they get attacked back, right or wrong. If you think that was bad then obviously you were asleep when democrats attacked Palin, her husband, her children, even her baby with down syndrome, all innocent people. What the heck do you think they would have done to your wife, father, mother and even your little girls?

    Now with the facts out there, I disagreed with Trump addressing the NE photo. I, however thought his tweet about Heidi was fair game because she was starting to be a politician and not a wife and she had a past that voters had a right to know. The picture he retweeted was mild to basically calling his wife a slut.

    You however don’t get to call foul when you have dirty hands even if you send others to do your dirty work. Your camp started the attacks on family.
