Why is it a good thing to have more Republican Rhinos? What we need is more real conservatives.

I think that was a sarcastic paragraph. More Rinos is certainly not what we need. What we really need are some tough, strong Christian Conservatives who have spine, as our congress sure doesn't seem to have one now!

At the risk of missing humor here, I hope everyone realizes that I was writing about honest-to-goodness rhinoceroses.

Nope, Ken, you can't do that on a political newsletter. However, it fits! and you got the comments you likely wanted.

I wasn't! I was actually putting in a bit of "good" news to counteract all of the complainy things in life. Hmmm. :)

Okay, I concede. I see how you spelled "Rhinos" and should have realized that. That's exciting information; but more exciting is the increase in polar bears - which debunks the climate warming scam. (Good one, you'll make us more alert next time.)

Dave Portnoy has a history of bullying journalists, in addition to mistreating women and saying chauvinistic things. His phone call was an effort to deflect attention away from his own behavior by vilifying the media, since he knows his followers would rather rage against a reporter than acknowledge his own crappy behavior.

Sound familiar?

Also, the fact that he can't pronounce "misogynistic" is ... revealing.

Sexual misconduct and mistreating women is what the leftist media pulls out of the closet every time they're afraid of somebody. EXCEPT when it comes to allowing males into female sports under the lie of being women.....then they don't give a rip about the girls and women, do they?

In this case, it's not the media accusing him of misconduct. Several women say he filmed sexual encounters with them without their consent, and several say the sex turned violent, painful, scary and humiliating without their consent. Portnoy sued for defamation, but a judge tossed his suit.

(I'm mostly with you on the transgender athletics issue, but that's a topic for another day.)

Never listened to Portnoy. Too many complainers as it is.

Southern White RINO population growth -- real, or just another Lindsay Graham fib? Stay tuned.

Portnoy is to the small business beginners what Trump was to the country. He's brash, has a mouth on him, but has proved himself - from going from a small business to a very wealthy and influential business person....everybody can do it type man. He's not afraid of the media or the hate mongers and that's so important for us to understand. Trump wasn't afraid either. Trump is in trouble because of their relentless legal attacks, but he is good for the U.S. and the only person who can save the country right now. People are afraid of Portnoy as they are afraid of Trump...because they have stood up to evil. We should not be afraid either!!!
