Sean Spicer admitted today that Donald Trump lied about not believing jobs number during President Obama’s Administration. It came off as a joke & the assembled press in the WH briefing room laughed it off. Ha Ha Ha.

While President Obama was in office, this country had over 70 consecutive months of positive job growth, & Republicans belittled the numbers. So did Donald Trump. At one point during his campaign, Donald said unemployment was really at 42%. February job reports today revealed that 235,000 jobs were gained, & unemployment decreased slightly to 4.6%.

All of a sudden Republicans believe the jobs report, & so does Donald Trump. It’s not funny anymore. Here’s the link about the press laughing when they heard that Donald got away w/ another of his lies.

‘Bobby Vee passed away today as a result of complications of Alzheimers. He was 73 years old.

Bobby had 38 top 40 hits in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s including: “Take Good Care of My Baby”, “Rubber Ball”, “Devil or Angel”, “Run to Him” and “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes”.

Bobby stepped in on the night the music died after the plane crash of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens & The Big Bopper. Here’s a link to one of his songs I used to listen to all night long…..

MIchelle Obama beautifully said “When they go low, Barack goes high”. Somehow Chuck Todd didn’t get that memo. In referring to the Ginnifer Flowers invite to Monday’s debate, Chuck Todd said Donald Trump should have invited “one of the grieving Benghazi mothers” to sit in the front row.

Hello? I can’t watch his show anymore. Here’s the link to this exasperating discussion.

Occupy Phoenix Facebook

They say one picture is worth a thousand words. If so, this picture of a small group of peaceful protesters in Phoenix, Arizona tells the story of the growing magnitude & power of the Occupy Movement.

In one month OccupyWallStreet has inspired protests in over 1,100 cities across the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa & Australia. And in one month, Occupy Wall Street has changed the conversation FROM a trumped up obsession w/ the national debt & the need to gut SS & Medicare TO Wall Street & the corporate greed which picks & chooses our politicians & our national agenda.

Here are a few more pictures from NYC to illustrate my point:

Jamie is the new Republican Representative from the 3rd District in Washington state. She took over Brian Baird's old seat. She came to Centralia Wednesday night for a Town Hall that was tightly controlled. She had a previous Town Hall earlier in the week in Vancouver that was not so tight. Jamie learned from that Town Hall.

Vancouver Town Hall "Pulls Few Punches"

She started off the evening w/ a 40 minute power point presentation w/ tons of charts & talk about our children & grandchildren & the national debt. We got about 30 minutes for questions drawn by lottery. Jamie's not going to vote to raise the debt ceiling unless significant cuts are made. She didn't talk about how Republicans raised the debt ceiling seven times from 2000-2008. She doesn't talk about a lot of things.

She touched briefly on the Ryan Budget which she voted for. She didn't talk at all about the fact that the Ryan plan is front loaded w/ a big tax cut for the wealthy. Taxes for the rich are cut in this plan from 35% to 25% right off the bat. The privatization of Medicare to a voucher system doesn't take place until 2022, but that tax cut would take place right away.

Jamie loves Medicare Advantage....and she wants us to love it too. She also said she didn't vote for a voucher plan although she voted for the Ryan Budget. Go figure.

Governor Walker Heckled.....Big Time!

Governor Walker attended a little fundraiser yesterday......but he may not have liked his welcoming committee. Wisconsin protesters lined the entrance & welcomed him with chants of "shame, Shame, Shame", signs, whistles & Wisconsin style hospitality.

The plan is to follow him everywhere he goes. Everywhere. His schedule should be a matter of public record. We wouldn't want the Guv to feel lonely. His constituents are ready & willing to make sure that doesn't happen.

Happy Trails, Governor.

Madison Protesters Dragged From the Capitol

This was the scene in Madison, Wisconsin today. The protesters there are determined to exercise their right to free speech & to assemble peacefully in disagreement with their government.....in the Capitol they paid for. It is their House. They have a right to be there.

They are not backing down. Republicans have literally had to drag them out. And....while they were being dragged out one yelled "Union Power"! When you need a strong police presence to enforce your edict....you've lost the people.

This battle has just started. We know that. We are prepared for that. I'm bookmarking this YouTube video of the protesters in Madison for inspiration. They are my template of how to conduct myself when I need to be dragged out of the Capitol Rotunda in Olympia, Washington. If it comes to that, I hope I'll do as well.

Wisconsin Protesters Shut Down GOP at Town Hall

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin is Scott Walker's hometown. The town was jumping Monday night when Wisconsin pro union protesters dropped in on a Town Hall led by GOP US Rep Jim Sensenbrenner & Wisconsin State Senator Leah Vaukmir.

The event didn't start well.....the protesters had some strong feelings about collective bargaining. Who Knew? Sensenbrenner abruptly adjourned the meeting due to the "disrespect" shown by the attendees. Sensenbrenner is infamous for turning off the lights & microphones during a hearing in DC in the past that was chaired by a Democrat. It looks like there may be one set of rules for Republicans & another for Democrats.....at least according to Sensenbrenner's definition of "disrespect".

This type of "disrespect" was perfectly acceptable when the Tea Party dropped in on Democratic Town Halls to express their displeasure about the health care debate. What's changed?

I just got back from a Meet & Greet w/ my Senator, Patty Murray. The room was packed, standing room only. The Democratic Campaign office in Olympia, Washington now leads the state in enthusiasm. Since June, volunteers have made over 34,000 telephone calls on behalf of Senator Murray & Representative candidate Denny Heck. Over 7,400 doorbells have been rung. One of the field organizers there is a kid. His name is Kyle. He looks about 20 years old.

Despite what Chuck Todd & John King tell us......there is NO enthusiasm gap in Olympia. Kyle shines. His enthusiasm is awesome. He's out there every day, working the phones, encouraging volunteers, asking for people to give their time to keep Democrats in office.

Senator Murray was introduced by a Viet Nam vet. He is a former helicopter pilot. He was shot down four times. He stands w/ a cane now. He served his country for over 20 years. He told a little story.

Talk about having your cake & eating it too......in this case it's a big ole slice of Rush Limbaugh's wedding cake. James Carville aka "The Ragin Cajun" was a guest along with the wife, Mary Matalin, at Limbaugh's fourth wedding down there in oil soaked Florida. Wonder if Carville put in some time cleaning up a marsh or two before he changed into his going to the wedding clothes?

Carville attends Limbaugh wedding

Rush Limbaugh Weds for 4th Time, and Elton John Sings
Amid dozens of giant bouquets of white roses, reports the Palm Beach Post, guests at the wedding included former Bush adviser Karl Rove; actor-politician Fred Thompson; former Kansas City Royals slugger George Brett; Fox News commentator Sean Hannity; former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani; New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft; former Clinton adviser James Carville and his wife, GOP analyst Mary Matalin; and golfer Tom Watson, among others.

A fluke happened Saturday night at the Tea Party Convention. Sarah Palin....the real Sarah Palin got out. Her handlers were asleep at the switch. Mary Matalin must have been doing something with her kids. Bill Kristol, Dan Senor (Campbell Brown's husband), & Robert Kagan must have been at a cocktail party for the Foreign Policy Institute. Randy Scheuneman must have been mentoring someone else. Rebecca Mansour & Joseph Russo must have been ghostwriting on Facebook for some other candidate. Adam Brickley (a former intern at The Heritage Foundation) must have been starting a web page for someone one else. Or....Sarah Palin went rogue on them.
