Well what have we here?

They warned us that the delicate vineyards could be severely damaged by man caused global climate change. We wouldn’t listen and see what we got:
French Bordeaux vineyards could lose half of harvest due to frost on Sat May 6, 2017

WTF? I thought the planet was warming and soon it would be too warm to raise grapes in France. Supposedly the French have been buying land in England to grow grapes when that happens.

REUTERS BORDEAUX, France “Bordeaux vineyards in southwest France could lose about half of their harvest this year after two nights of frost damaged the crop at the end of April, a wine industry official said on Saturday. … Wines from the Cognac, Bergerac, and Lot-et-Garonne regions had also been affected … ‘For Bordeaux wines…we estimate that the impact will be a loss of about 50 percent, depend on how many buds can regrow’”
English vineyards report ‘catastrophic’ damage after severe April frost

Damn that global warming!

GUARDIAN.COM “Chris White, the chief executive of Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey, said up to 75% of its crop was damaged by last week’s sub-zero temperatures: “The temperature dropped to -6C and at that level it causes catastrophic damage to buds,” he said. White said staff had worked in vain using special fans and heaters to protect the vineyard, which at 265 acres in the UK’s biggest, after an Arctic blast swept across the UK. … ‘It’s been a stark reminder of the difficulties faced by wine producers in the country, and yes … at this moment we are asking ourselves whether we were mad to try and grow vines in England,’ said Wenman”

Actually, you were mad to listen to the junk science of AGW.

WINESPECTATOR.COM French Winemakers Weathering Worst Frost in 25 Years

Cold weather struck France’s young vine buds again this week, and Bordeaux is the latest region to suffer frost damage. Farther north, Burgundy and Champagne also weathered cold conditions and frost. Damage reports are incomplete so far, mainly because winegrowers have been busy preparing anti-frost measures.

Bordeaux’s Right Bank Hit Hard
“We can already estimate that we have lost nearly half of the potential crop,” said Xavier Coumau, president of Bordeaux’s Syndicate of Wine and Spirits Courtiers.

Many are calling it the worst frost since 1991, as temperatures dropped to nearly 26° F in some spots. Damage has been reported on the Right Bank, including in Pomerol and St.-Emilion—though the plateau of St.-Emilion was spared—as well as Pessac and Graves and even up in the western edge of the Médoc.

“It is rather dramatic,” Stéphane Derenoncourt, proprietor of Domaine de l’A in Castillon and consultant to dozens of Right Bank estates, told Wine Spectator. “Only the plateau and the tops of slopes are spared. There is damage everywhere, sometimes 100 percent. We haven’t seen everything yet, and it is fo

Just think how bad this would have been if the planet wasn’t warming.

We need to learn that the truly insidious thing about Climate Change is that it just doesn’t mean the world is getting warmer, it also means that frosts will occur in late April in locations as far south as Green Bay, WI.

The congressional race is heating up in the 6th Congressional District here in Georgia. What voters need to know are three things:

1. Dimocrats always lie. Republicans sometimes do, especially RINOs, but Dimocrats always do.

2. Dimocrats will not cut spending.

3. Dimocrats will not work with Republicans.

Jon Osshole is running ads that make him sound like a Republican. His ads are full of lies. He’s a Dimocrat. See #1. He claims that he will cut $18 billion in wasteful spending by cutting duplicate programs. He’s a Dimocrat. Dimocrats never cut spending. See #2. On the off chance that they do cut spending, they will simply use that money on other wasteful programs.

We have seen this movie before. Remember 2006 when after six years of reckless spending by Republicans, the Dimocrats were able to run as fiscal conservatives, which would be funny if it weren’t so serious. They were able to take over the House and Speaker Blinkly vowed that there would be nor more deficit spending. The Dims passed PayGo which stated that everything would have to be payed for and immediately ignored it. They showed Republicans how wasteful deficit spending was supposed to be done by passing the first trillion dollar deficits after Obungler got elected. So when Osshole sez he will cut spending he is lying through his teeth. See #1 and #2.

Osshole also sez in his ads that he “will work with anyone”. Dimocrats have been trying out this lie for quite some time. When Michelle Nunn Martin ran for the Senate here in Georgia, she said that she would work with Republicans. Doesn’t it make sense that if you want someone to work with Republicans, you would vote for a Republican and not a Dimocrat? It works the other way as well. Johnny Maverick McRINO said back in 2008 that he would “reach across the aisle” and work with Dimocrats. If you wanted someone to work with Dimocrats wouldn’t it make sense to elect a Dimocrat?

We know this “work with anyone” is a lie because Dimocrats always lie (See #1) and exSpeaker Blinky and Schmuck Schumer have already stated that they won’t work with Republicans, so therefore, Osshole won’t work with Republicans either. See #3.

Here’s another thing to know about Osshole. He was a staffer for Hank The Stump Johnson. Johnson is known for worrying about Guam tipping over. Would you really want someone who worked for this idiot to represent you in Congress? Another thing to know is that Osshole is strongly supported by civil rights icon racist pig John Lewis. (Stay tuned for an upcoming post about why Lewis is a racist pig, but if you’ve read me for any length of time you already know.)

This is gonna be the most expensive House race in history. The ads are permeating the airwaves. Fortunately, the robocalls haven’t started yet but it’s only a matter of time. Remember, when Jon Osshole sez he will cut spending and work with anyone he is lying through his teeth. See #1, #2, and #3.

Here’s some real heavy metal from Judas Priest. It doesn’t get more heavy metal than the Priest. Check out the double bass drum during the entire song. See at how the end Tipton points to the drummer? He knows the dude had a workout. Also one of the rare songs where Downing gets to do a guitar solo. Tipton plays lead through most of the song except for the lead up to Downing’s solo and then Downing’s solo itself. Awesome performance. I’ve got this DVD.

I love to listen to John Williams play Bach. Heck, I like to listen to John Williams play anything.

I’m gona give it to FBI Director Comey. Does this guy even listen to what he says? So much bullshit came out of his mouth before Congress this week the room should have been swarming with flies. He should have indicted Crooked Cankles this summer but was prolly afraid of dying. It’s time for Trump to fire this imbecile.

Obummercare repealed in the House. Now on to the Senate. Will Republicans fold? Discuss amongst yourselves.

Ron wants to know.

So . . . . . DJT got $12.5 billion more for the military in the recent spending bill compromise. B.F.D.!! That won’t pay for even one single modern aircraft carrier.

And a billion and a half for border security, but it can’t be used for constructing a wall. J.H.F.C. DingleBarry authorized the goddam wall in the first place! The bill also prohibits spending any of that billion and a half on a “deportation force.” So, what’s it for . . . . advertising? Picnics?

Oh, and the bill also prohibits cuts to sanctuary cities, and it continues to fund Planned Parenthood.

Hey, WTF good is having a Republican-dominated House with a Republican majority in the Senate and a Republican PotUS if Chuck the Schmuck is gonna run the goddam place!!!

Yeah, yeah . . . I know – DJT has cancelled a lotta DingleBarry’s repressive EOs and all that, but HFS . . . why CAN’T he build the wall that has already been authorized and partly funded? Why CAN’T he withhold federal funding from “sanctuary” cities for failing to follow federal law? Why CAN’T he eliminate funding for a misnamed national abortion clinic that doesn’t even do mammograms or pediatrics but calls itself “planned parenthood”?

And why was it O.K. for the Magic Negro to say HE’d meet with the leaders of North Korea to discuss tensions on the peninsula but the lamestream media gets their knickers all up in a crusty wad of righteous indignation when Trump says he’d meet with Cream Phat One?

O.K. So, like that commercial with the guy who only “monitors” bank lobbies and then just informs people that there’s a robbery, what good is having a Republican-controlled gummint if it can’t get anything done because the minority Dems wanna play roadblock? I guess that $1.5 billion for border security is to design and create spiffy new uniforms and badges for the border “monitors,” huh?

And the continued funding for sanctuary cities is exactly the same as that “dental monitor” who merely TELLS you that you have really bad cavities by publicly announcing that it’s sheltering really bad illegals.

Somebody please ‘splain this to me, ‘cause I’m just a simple country boy who doesn’t understand the intricacies of creating laws and then failing to ENFORCE THE GODDAM THINGS!!!!!!!!

What am I missing here when for the first time in decades “conservatives” have control of both the legislative AND executive branches but can’t get shit done because of one friggin New Yawk wannabepotus senator and one Kalipornia drinkintoomuchkoolaid loon?

Exactly what benefits does the nation derive from the existence of sanctuary cities, planned parenthood, and Obamacare? Who the hell is running things?

Tell me. PLEASE tell me!!

Well, Ron, we know it ain’t the Republicans. They are too afraid of being blamed for a gummint shutdown. Of course it doesn’t matter who is running things since they will always be blamed. The Republicans are cowards. Some of them aren’t but we know that many of them are, like Paul RINO. If he can’t get the job done it’s time for him to go. Then we have the outright traitors, like John McRINO and his mini-me, little Lindsey Graham. Republicans prefer to be the minority party and if they don’t get their shit together, that’s where they are heading. If they don’t want to govern, get the fuck out of the way and let us elect people who do. Trumps biggest enemies are not Schmuck Schumer and ex-Speaker Blinky, it is members of his own party.

Ron sent me this interesting video on fake AGW.
