Emit Time

And some men knows he has 21 military bases and
50,000 troops in that "powerful" woman's country 

while other men just assume she loves him for who he is.
Politico was at it again last week when they let Christiane Amanpour's husband write The Leader of the Free World Meets Donald Trump and some drivel about the "evolution of the Trump-Merkel dialogue" and Merkel's "moral leadership" on the world stage. This is all part of coordinated effort to elevate Merkel and denigrate Trump in the eyes of the public and if that won't do then at least in the eyes of those people who read Politico. It might surprise these worldly critics to know that the US military has bases all over Germany and we've been there since 1945. When the German Chancellor comes to Washington D.C. she's there to get her marching orders and figure out a plan to execute them. Sometimes she gets a pat on the back and drinks champaign to celebrate our long standing "alliance" and other times she's told things like, "I don't think you fully understand your situation" or "you're just not listening to me, so let's go over this again..." and either way it goes down, at the end of the day, the Germans are very good at following orders. Like when the Yankee King tells you to take in 1 million refugees because, well, you told him you could handle Putin and work out the Syrian situation but didn't and that resulted in Turkey entering the conflict which, let's face it, wasn't cool and Erdogan wants these Syrians out of his country so... you do as you're told. "Tell you what, we'll put you on the cover of Time Magazine."

Same hair
It looks like Trump got exactly what he wanted from the "Leader of the Free World" at the G20 and I'm sure the German government will be allocating more Euros to NATO starting this year.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
