The leaves won’t be changing for a while. Right now August is in September. Soo the skies will turn bright blue and the air will be crisp. The nights will be cool and at times chilly.
The crickets and jarflies are loud–loud enough to drown you out if you are sitting on your deck. In the evening, the frogs try to outsing the crickets. Ants are marching many by many trying to store up food for the winter.
Everything is alive in fall, hurrying to get the last of the warmth and light in before the cold winter sets in.
Yay!!! Goodbye hot weather.
Page A2 in today’s WashPost. Interesting reading about
Nikki Haley’s comments about Trump.
Her motto: “Be kinder than necessary” is worth thinking about.
When does taking the 5th become obstruction of justice – when your involvement is known, established and not in dispute and you have the requisite skills and knowledge to contribute to an official and sanctioned investaigation. Is it, for example, when the response to a question is not about your criminality but someone elses?
Does anyone but you know what you are talking about?
Jim Webb sent out a message that he’ll be a candidate for the Democrats.
@ Blue: the guys who set up or maintained the server may not have been cleared for access to classified to material (they probably were not). So it’s quite possible that they have some exposure for which they could quite properly invoke the Fifth Amendment. (I’m assuming that that’s what your comment is about).
Simple solution.
The server people were just hired to host.
Give them immunity.
What do you think about Jim Webb starting his campaign?
@Punchak
I known know. I suppose he is wasting his time.
I think point, I am a distant observer of the 2016 presidential race. I am making no bets on anything. I also am thinking that for the first time in my life, I just might not vote. 🙄

The Manassas Democrat

Ha! Wonder what they would think 100 years later?
Per the Manassas Patch web site, Bernie Sanders is slated
to speak at the PW fairgrounds Monday night.
Remember 0bama being at the same location just before
he was elected President for the first time.
Romney had a big event in Old Town last time around.
Manassas has become a major campaign stop!
I wonder what kind of crowds he will attract. I think the Manassas stop is a little premature.
@Moon-howler
It will probably look a bit like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3230201/Hillary-addresses-virtually-room-campaign-stop-Ohio-slams-Trump-insulting-women-chance-gets.html
@Jackson Bills
Perhaps the event handlers dropped the ball. That isn’t all that unusual,
Who knows how many will show up for Bernie Sanders. That is a huge venue. It could end up looking empty also. It all depends on the advance notice.
My husband, who is a democrat, was working at local headquarters. He knew nothing about that event. Democrats don’t always communicate with each other.
@Moon-howler
Your probably right about that Moon. However, I think if Hillary and Bernie both held events Bernie would have a much bigger crowd. What do you think?
I expect it would depend on where the rallies were held. I am not sure. Sanders really has populist support. He is saying a lot of good things that people want to hear.
Just sitting back and watching at this point. I have no favorites…just UNfavorites.
This is a must read article about Planned Parenthood. It really isn’t the bugaboo people with an agenda have tried to make it.
This planned parenthood does not perform abortions.

Crises management 101: Planned Parenthood renames itself Women’s Reproductive Health Inc. to keep the government subsidies flowing. Planned Parenthood – abortion services division is spun off and operates independently and gets most of it’s customers as referrals from W.R.H..
My only disagreement would be that men also use Planned Parenthood for contraception and for screenings for STDs. How could you incorporate men into the rename?
I generally think there is nothing funny about this nasty woman.
Scott Pelley had a pretty good interview with Trump on 60 Minutes last night.
Also, Rose with Putin.
