First Lady Michelle Obama walks out with her dogs Bo and Sunny, to welcome the Official White House Christmas Tree. This year’s White House Christmas tree, which will be on display in the Blue Room, was presented by Jay Bustard, left, and his brother Glenn Bustard, center, from Bustard’s Christmas Trees in Lansdale, PA
Good afternoon, TOD. Back from my trip to the grocery store. Picked up my year’s supply of paper towels; and a few of their BF grocery specials — only the things I normally use, purchased at their “loss leader” prices. Was disappointed that they didn’t have tenderloins on sale this year, I wanted several for my party… Time to rethink the menu… Ran into a couple of cousins at the store; pleasant surprise as right before going shopping I commented on her FB post that I hoped to see her soon — meaning at here family’s Saturday before Christmas brunch.
Had a wonderful time yesterday at another cousin’s dinner. All of he children, grands, and g-grands were there except one (was his in-laws turn…). Great discussions on family history/genealogy; politics; and economics. I had hoped to go to NY today; friends of my former D-i-L#1 invited my Mom and I to join them for the family Thanksgiving Friday dinner. Would have been a chance to spend time with the grandson. Mine is willing — body said “HELL NO.” As I have tickets for the Soulful Symphony concert in Baltimore tomorrow night, I’m listening to my body…
I SEE WHERE CARSON IS GOING TO SYRIA TO VISIT REFUGEE CAMPS IN ORDER TO UPGRADE HIS FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE STATUS…COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE PICK ME UP OFF THE FLOOR…AM OUT OF CONTROL NOW???.LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
BBL…COOKING BEEF ROAST W/MUSHROOMS..MASHED POTATOES AND ACORN SQUASH STUFFED WITH SUGARED CASHEWS AND MOLASSES….WATCH OVER TH FIRST FAMILY PLEASE…I’D HATE TO HAVE TO COME OVER THERE AND SHOOT SOME TRESPASSSSSSER!
Hmmmm,now before the age, sex, and race of the active shooter is known lets see if we can guess the age, sex and race and possible religion of the shooter.
One big clue, police say that his motive is unknown, so of course he’s not black or Muslim because the motive would be totally obvious and beyond question, right?
Colorado Springs recalled the Democrats who signed a gun control bill the NRA did not like…….serves them right, those that could not bother to vote and those that voted to recalled them.
BTW, it’s true and we know precisely where they are located and how to leverage the assets, maximally 🙂 Unfortunately, I can’t post details publicly, yet … that’ll change in 2016 🙂
It’s exceptionally cool, Jacqueline – no R&D issues, all proven ‘in the field,’ and already being deployed in settings that prove it scales and the economics are hugely compelling. Can’t wait to share tons of details with all of you!!!
Hope your son continues to keep his spirits and will soon be fully recovered.
Happy Thanksgiving! Looks like we’ll all have a lot to be thankful for, in our personal/professional lives, into the new year … let’s hope that for everybody at TOD! Not to mention in the White House!
Freedom of Speech yes…but who is held accountable when HATE Speech …from Trump and co…Fox news and the Conservative Entertainment Complex….the GOP….radicalizes men like Sam HYDE..
Thank you, JO’B! Glad you and yours had an outstanding Thanksgiving. I know the #1 Blessing you were thankful for! My prayers continue to be with you and your family.
One of my favorite songs, although I must confess, I prefer the live version by Sylvester & Two Tons of Fun. Ms. Patti can throw a PAR-TAY! Years ago, I was a plus one at several of her shindigs; unfortunately, my friend, the invitee, passed away…
Remember this guy….13-yr old Black boy who got fame by being an “anti-Obama” conservative? LOL…I guess that fame came back to bite him in the butt…he seems to have learned a lesson – or two.
He said the video of Laquan McDonald being shot 16 times by a police officer in Chicago helped open his eyes to the systemic problems of racial discrimination in America and the need to look at the issues objectively.
So called God fearing with the ‘utmost’ moral acumen? Yup!
They break every rule. They were the ones telling Us all to Clean up Hip Hop, Rock and Roll. They wanted language ‘appropriate’ for TV and Cable after a certain time.
These days, Trump, Paul, etc are using Curse words willfully.
Since the shooter is alive I am concluding he is white.
Does anyone know if this has been confirmed?
What a freaking nightmare the USA is becoming.
Hysteria about ISIS Ebola refugees Muslims immigrants—-all hyped up to scare us.
The biggest danger in this country now seems to be coming from white males. Not just now, come to think about it. Angry entitled white males are the danger.
Also, the police spokesperson said the motive was not known and declined to speculate on it. If the shooter was black or Muslim, the motive would have been ‘clear’!
Yes, desertflower—I remember it well.
Also, Marc Pocan from the Southern Poverty Law Center has been sounding the alarm for year.
For me, the guy lying on his stomach pointing his rifle at Federal officers during the Cliven Bundy ranch standoff, was pretty graphic proof that white guys with guns get to do whatever they want without consequences.
As far as i know, there was no punishment for that outrageous behavior and Cliven Bundy continues to graze his cattle on Federal Lands for free.

Hi there NW!
Hi, GGail! 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving ❤
There’s something about the xmas trees or the horses that Bo just does not like. He wants to get as far away as possible. 😀 😀
It may be the horses he is not sure of
Bo was looking at something….probably a squirrel.
Hello NW!
Happy Thanksgiving TODVille!
🙂

ATF IS THERE….THEY HAVE AN OFFICE THERE……………….
I SEE WHERE CARSON IS GOING TO SYRIA TO VISIT REFUGEE CAMPS IN ORDER TO UPGRADE HIS FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE STATUS…COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE PICK ME UP OFF THE FLOOR…AM OUT OF CONTROL NOW???.LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

To all you brave yt christian men……..ugh!
You know, it never crossed my mind to strap a rifle to my ass and sashay down the street.
AMEN ^5!
BRAVE GUYS AREN’T THEY?…I’LL NEVER FORET THOSE CAMO PIX OF HANNITY ON THE BORDER READY TO SHOOT IMMIGRANTS…WHAT A SICK NEIGHBORHOOD WE LIVE IN….!
FORGET….GEESH!
IT’S PROBABLY MY EX-PASTOR’S WIFE AND HER HEN FRIENDS!
LIVE NOW: Active Shooter Situation in Colorado Springs, CO – http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
The MSM is going nuts. Like sharks in bloody water swimming back and forth seeking scraps of flesh……disgusting predators.
You nailed it, YA!
Bo seems as if he would like to have a word with that tree!! That is one BIG tree!
We need to stop calling them “Abortion” clinics because they do MORE than just abortions. They are “MEDICAL” clinics and they also treat men.
Hospitals also perform abortions…..but no one is bombing them are they?
I agree. They should be called family planning medical clinics.
correct
Will tweet that to him…
LIVE NOW: KKTV Gives Update On Active Shooter Situation – http://www.cbsnews.com/live/
The MSM want hostages, blood and gore!
Hmmmm,now before the age, sex, and race of the active shooter is known lets see if we can guess the age, sex and race and possible religion of the shooter.
uh huh. That’s right
You get 3 guesses; the first 2 don’t count and the last one is wrong……..it’s more black-on-black crime of course!
One big clue, police say that his motive is unknown, so of course he’s not black or Muslim because the motive would be totally obvious and beyond question, right?
THE SHOOTER HIDING OUT SOMEWHERE…THEY’LL FIND HIM!…LADIES HIDING OUT IN NAIL SALON!
CHECKING MY FB TO SEE WHO SPIT ON IT…BBL…………………..
Colorado Springs recalled the Democrats who signed a gun control bill the NRA did not like…….serves them right, those that could not bother to vote and those that voted to recalled them.
They will not connect the two. This will be Planned Parenthood’s fault, or President Obama’s fault, or…or…or…
Christmas season at the WH….yeah…
Doubt if he’ll even notice or care, but what the heck ….
BTW, it’s true and we know precisely where they are located and how to leverage the assets, maximally 🙂 Unfortunately, I can’t post details publicly, yet … that’ll change in 2016 🙂
Back to work ….

Sounds fascinating, Bob!

So afraid of ISIS. American so afraid. What about these type of people?
Freedom of Speech yes…but who is held accountable when HATE Speech …from Trump and co…Fox news and the Conservative Entertainment Complex….the GOP….radicalizes men like Sam HYDE..
Ok it seems as though this tweet is not correct,,,
Good article. Thanks, Yardarm.
Are you kidding me?
Receive my first Christmas gift today; two travel coffee tumblers and a can of cookies from my HVAC contractor.
niceeeeeee
Merry (early) Christmas, Alycee!
Thank you, JO’B! Glad you and yours had an outstanding Thanksgiving. I know the #1 Blessing you were thankful for! My prayers continue to be with you and your family.
Thanks so much, darlin’! All the best to you, too!
Domestic terrorists. I want to see the polls coming out about Domestic terrorists.

Check these little girls giving Frankie Beverly and Maze a run for their money!

Was he a rich kid?
Bc Carson dipped more than half his support, trump now has more of a lead than before.
FBI warned of Planned Parenthood attacks months ago
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/planned-parenthood-colorado-springs-fbi-warned-of-threats-months-ago
Shooter has surrendered
So called God fearing with the ‘utmost’ moral acumen? Yup!
They break every rule. They were the ones telling Us all to Clean up Hip Hop, Rock and Roll. They wanted language ‘appropriate’ for TV and Cable after a certain time.
These days, Trump, Paul, etc are using Curse words willfully.
Shooter=Caucasian Male.
The obvious words not used:
Terrorism. Thug. Jihad. Islamist.
Since the shooter is alive I am concluding he is white.
Does anyone know if this has been confirmed?
What a freaking nightmare the USA is becoming.
Hysteria about ISIS Ebola refugees Muslims immigrants—-all hyped up to scare us.
The biggest danger in this country now seems to be coming from white males. Not just now, come to think about it. Angry entitled white males are the danger.
Vicki, I thought the same thing when Nena posted the above tweet.
This blows my mind
5 police officers injured
11 all total taken to the hospital – thus far
And
wait for it
the white shooter is alive
am I to believe that none of these officers “feared for their lives”?????
Thumbs up!
… none of these officers “feared for their lives”?????
boom.
Also, the police spokesperson said the motive was not known and declined to speculate on it. If the shooter was black or Muslim, the motive would have been ‘clear’!
Remember when Janet Napolitano said that the dangers from RW extremists were real …and the RW screamed bloody murder and mocked her? I do.

Must be why those angry white guys keep ramping up the crazy. Nothing ever happens to them when they do.
