Howdy and Merry Christmas from West Texas!!!!

This time of year is hard and for some this is not a good time for them.

I believe that the intent of the below serves us well in good times and bad regardless of beliefs.

The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr[1][2] (1892–1971). The best-known form is:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

To absent companions.

You asked for a miracle, Amy, I give you Danish border crossing guards.

According to Danish authorities, controls have been put in place on Denmark's southern border with Germany to help stem the flow of immigrants trying to get into the country. Of course, these controls should also help stop possible terrorists who may want to cross the border.

Sadly, however, it seems that the "controls" aren't very effective. A Danish citizen says he dressed as an ISIS fighter, while carrying an ISIS flag and a fake gun, and crossed the border several times without anyone even asking him a question or two:

DJT smiles, as does John C. Calhoun.

In case you've forgotten what it means to be an "illegal alien": you can't legally hold a job, or get welfare, and yet they're not starving and going home.

So they're either working off book, or they're committing identity fraud. As far as welfare goes, they're likely just signing up and seeing what happens in the hope that in a landslide of applications some pebbles slip thru because they know ICE won't apprised of their location if they are discovered.

California state Sen. Kevin de Leon envisions the Golden State becoming a “wall of justice” against what the Los Angeles Democrat is afraid will be the Trump administration’s “inhuman and over-reaching mass deportation policy.”

Good thing the old boy travels via private air travel.

Were I Trump I would publicly announce that as Califonia wants to be a sanctuary state they can be.

I would offer any illegal alien in the country six months to move to california, at califonias expense, cut off all federal funding to california and just wait and see what happens
