What Eddie Fisher Said

Perhaps only senior citizens will recognize his name and a few millennials might know that he was the father of Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Other cinephiles might know that he left his wife Debbie Reynolds to marry Elizabeth Taylor, who left him for Richard Burton, but since they’re all dead, who cares? Well, I was ten years old when I heard Eddie Fisher sing “Count Your Blessings” and it’s a lesson that in this crazy world of protests and angst, we should all heed especially in this season of increasing despair.

"The so-called COVID pandemic was caused by the introduction of an unheard-of coronavirus created in a lab in Wuhan, China. It seems to me that the only reason one would create a virus would be to use it as a bioweapon. More outrageously is the fact that the lab was given research funds by our own National Institutes of Health, where Anthony Fauci was one of the officials. He denies this happened, of course but the NIH confirmed it." At the time, the thought was they couldn't call it a leak because they didn't want to have to have a nuclear war with China. What if it wasn't a "leak" at all. Can you even consider the idea that enemies, "foreign and domestic", would unleash a virus that kills millions to rule the world? They killed 20 million in the '40s. With the post war "population crisis" do you really think 100 million is beyond them?

I read lots of spy novels so that may be why I think this last pandemic was just a trial and when China, with our money, perfects one with 90% death rate for Caucasians we'll all be gone. Including the fools in DC who finance it.

I thank my Creator for His blessings nightly and when I realize one during my day. Currently we are suffering brutally cold weather and I thank The Creator that there are skilled plumbers, linemen, electricians, mechanics, churches, ... helping people through it. They are so much more important to all of us than the athletes and celebrities who provide nothing of real value - just brief entertainment -panem et circes- which are useless if we are living in miserable conditions.

#8, I have a friend who owns a house in Fort Myers. Their place is next the Caloosahatchee River north of Harlem Heights and the ocean surge from Ian flooded their place halfway up to the ceiling. He never found his boat. He and his wife have been gradually demolishing the inside of their house and replacing everything. They have been working hard since late September and expect to continue their project into next spring. And they are almost 80 years old. Hiring a contractor to do the work is next to impossible. It will be over a year before Fort Myers as a city is put back together. As we approach Christmas Day and News Years weekend, indeed, count your blessings, folks.

We live in Naples. When Ian came through, we prayed and it was as if we had a protective bubble surround our home. We never lost power, only wifi, so I baked a ham and scalloped potatoes and we sat in comfort and watched movies on the DVR. We had no phone, computer, TV, so we had no idea of the devastation which surrounded us until 5 days later when wifi was restored. The winds and storm surge did a tremendous amount of damage here, and worse to the north of us. We are indeed counting our blessings, and praying for the many people who lost so much, many still living in makeshift tents. Odd how Fed and FEMA help has been so slow coming to the aid of red state FL, don't you think?.

Yes, we are all blessed to be Americans even as the country deteriorates, with deliberate malice, as Colon so poignantly describes. We are blessed to have writers such as Alicia Colon and to have a President, Donald J. Trump who more than ever needs all of our love and support. The goodness he did for our country is incalculable. God bless America, God bless our beloved Lucianne and Rush in Heaven and God bless all of our Ldotters. Merry Christmas to all.

The One Rule to Getting a Miracle 7 replies
Posted by abuela10 10/22/2024 12:06:24 AM Post Reply
Do you believe in miracles? Throughout history, inexplicable events have occurred yet naysayers refuse to name them miracles preferring to call them a lucky coincidence. In 1980, however, when the young USA team won the Olympic winter game against the behemoth Russian team and then went on to win the gold, it was called, "the miracle on ice". The following year, a movie by that name debuted and another one opened in 2004 about the same "miracle. I wouldn't call this event a miracle which was the result of hard work but I'll bet some of the players followed the rule of getting a ‘miracle'. What was it, you may ask?

It is a real mystery why Trump Derangement Syndrome has managed to destroy the legacies of so many formerly admired Hollywood celebrities. Robert DeNiro, whom I had always thought was a terrific actor, has become such a vicious and profane TDS victim that I have lost the urge to watch again any of his great performances. After the braindead NY jury found Trump guilty of 34 fake felonies, Hollywood TDS-infected stars celebrated this egregious miscarriage of justice.

While I actually haven’t personally heard anyone blame God when they lost a close one in a tragedy, it’s a timeworn message in fiction novels. The protagonist wails against God when tragedy occurs or sometimes we read the words of an atheist shouting, “Where was God when the tsunami (earthquake, cyclone, hurricane, mass shooting, etc.) killed thousands? If there was a God, wouldn’t He have stopped this?” The truth is, God is an unlikely scapegoat and if one reads the Bible, especially the Old Testament, one would give Him the benefit of the doubt.

 Forgive me for using such harsh words but I just watched Greg Gutfeld mock a NYC Councilwoman for making what can only be a very, very dumb inexplicable statement. Tiffany Caban, representing D22, released a public safety guide urging merchants to call 3-1-1, not 9-1-1, to seek mental health services and engage in community mediation, rather than call the cops. She tweeted: "We're distributing them to local businesses, so our neighborhood is equipped with better ways of solving problems than simply summoning police every time a challenge arises."

Perhaps stupid is not the right word. Gullible is not right either. It's really hard to pinpoint the main reason behind the disastrous state of our country but the cold hard fact is that many Americans have fallen for two of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the left , the media and corrupt politicians. It's too simple to blame the voters of any particular party when the main culprits are the individuals who just can't be bothered with politics. They don't want to get involved so they don't vote yet they complain when their taxes go up or their civil rights are taken away

If you are a parent or grandparent, you have probably at one point or another had one of your daughters or granddaughters come up and ask you if you would like to dress like a princess and have a tea party. Or perhaps your son or grandson has asked to dress up and play Cowboys and Indians. And of course we all did (to be clear though, I did not dress up as a princess). At some point, however, those children stop playing make believe.

Former president Donald Trump emerged from 38 days of self-enforced silence for a lengthy speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, that was frequently interrupted with boisterous applause and chants from an adoring, mostly white and older crowd. He was spot-on in his indictment of the five-week-old Biden administration, accusing the new president of lying about his "radical far-left" agenda during the campaign. Predictably, he also slammed the "fake news" for what he said was their assistance in covering up that agenda.

I am the author of the bestselling book "TRUMP RULES." My book identifies the top 10 rules that made former President Donald Trump one of the greatest winners in world history in business, branding, real estate, celebrity, television, publishing and politics. Trump is the only person in world history to reach the pinnacle of all of those fields. And the only person to become both a billionaire and president of the United States. It's not a bad resume. Many critics think Trump's winning streak ended with a presidential loss. I disagree. I know the man. I understand the man. I know what comes next. It may be Trump's greatest chapter yet.  Correction*

The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Susan Ford Bales is a registered Republican and admitted she would 'likely disagree on some policy matters' pushed by the vice president. But ultimately she believed that Harris' 'integrity and commitment to those same principles that guided Dad have led me to conclude' that she should be in the White House over Donald Trump.[snip] Ford was Michigan's only president and was propelled to the White House when Richard Nixon resigned in 1973 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

Kamala Harris was offered an opportunity to finally work at a McDonald's restaurant but never responded to the invite, a statement circulating on social media indicates. A franchisee on X posted what they describe as "an internal statement to the McDonald’s system from the US Senior Leadership Team" regarding Donald Trump's visit to a McDonald’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They describe the memo as "100% real." By now, most of our readers know that Trump swapped out his suit jacket over the weekend with an apron and proceeded to work the fryers and the drive-thru section at the fast food restaurant.

As political stunts go, this might have been the best I’ve ever seen, because it served two very powerful presidential race purposes.(Photo) First, it reminded voters that his rival Kamala Harris has repeatedly boasted about having a summer job at McDonald’s

The trip to McDonald’s in Bucks County, where the former president made French fries and served customers, is causing the Left to melt down, and it’s over the dumbest reason. The man was shot in July, with another lunatic waiting to take shots at him as he golfed in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September. Was anyone expecting unvetted drive-thru customers to grab food from Trump where a crazy person could open fire at point-blank range? It's a stunt, they say. Oh man, when Democrats do it, it's a campaign stop, but when we do it better, it's a "stunt."

Tucker Carlson invited journalist Mark Halperin on his show to predict what the post-election future could look like for America and was horrified by what he heard. Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and currently a reporter for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris. 'I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,' he said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and suffer 'trauma in the workplace.'
