From the Desk of John Rourke – June 1st, 2017

Written by

CNN fires Kathy Griffin. Excellent.

What is amazing to me is the number of people suggesting that what she did was just fine. Hey – she’s just expressing her 1st amendment rights – right? Of course, she can say whatever she wishes however it goes both ways. The outrage over her action is a positive indication that such treatment of a President – ANY President – is unacceptable. Give it time folks as the decline in morality will continue. I’m not trying to be negative I am being truthful. That what you pay me for, right?

A fairly popular author of preparedness websites and magazines posted on Facebook his thoughts on the Kathy Griffin situation suggesting that it was really not that big of a deal. He said there are bigger things to worry about. Well, I have to disagree. While there are big problems to think about this vile action providing so many with a graphic depiction of what is in many people’s hearts is serious.

Those old enough to remember – consider the weeks after 9/11.

My how things have changed.

Been working on leveling an area in the backyard for an above ground pool. Had one for a few years but the ground really needed to be leveled. Built a frame and now filling it with sand. Fun!

3,000 gallons of extra water year round is a good thing to have.

Hope everyone’s week is going well.

Are you going to put the pool in the shade? The summer was so hot here in central MA last year we had to leave the solar cover off numerous days last season. I want one when we get moved to western SC.

I like the quote:
“Freedom has a nice ring to it. And a bit of recoil.”

May I use this quote, with attribution, on a personal-use item such as a tee shirt.

  Thanks Jerry but it is not mine. I picked that up on Instagram so do not know its origin. That would look good on a t-shirt.

I agree with you 100% on everything you wrote. It’s clear morality is on the decline. To what degree? Only the future will tell. Revelation in the bible, will eventually take place and these are part of the stepping stones. However, I don’t have to like what I’m seeing now and well,…you me. I will go down fighting!

I was sooo furious, full of anger when I saw what she did. I had to mentally force myself to calm down. Literally, I was so incensed I could not post or respond to any of your posts yesterday. Her pathetic “apology” was like pour salt in the wound. Also, I think she be brought up on charges.

Anyway..moving along. This video was created to a good song for the 4th, but sums up how I feel everyday.

Glad you’re back to posting freebies! Even if you link to one that has gone back up in price, I put it in my Wishlist as they often go back to free later on. I’ve picked up several that way.

“she’s just expressing her 1st amendment rights”

Yep, so was CNN when they fired her. While we all have a 1st amendment right to say something, it doesn’t mean its still not going to have consequences. Welcome to the real world.

The Leftist always say that the things we say and do are good propaganda enlistment tools for the terrorists. I believe kathy griffin just gave “isis” (I will not capitalize a bunch of losers), a propaganda poster! And they couldn’t be more happy.

I never liked K.Griffin and now she disgusts me.Can you imagine how anyone who has had a friend or family member beheaded feels? Just using that symbol is pure evil.
Glad shes fired and now shes pulling the victim stance.She must be in denial of the fact that she is responsible for getting herself fired.
Please everyone who likes Fox and Hannity- send e mails and letters or tweets to support Sean Hannity so his show stays on the air.
Our chickens are getting bigger . Chilly here 40s. Just started putting in some vegetables and seeds.
Good idea with your pool Rourke. Lightning
