It's a New Day (political thoughts)

   I took the duck out of the smoker yesterday morning. I was really pleased with it. This ended up being pretty expensive though The duck was around $20.00 plus the brine ingredients and we did still have the smoking wood chips. When you smoke -- the meat really shrinks- a lot and there is not a lot of meat on a duck to begin with-but I was happy with the result.

  I know most of my American friends here on my blog are on the far left liberal side but I hope every American comes together as one nation. 

   As soon as the winner was announced--  Hamas says they are ending their wars. Putin called Trump to talk about ending his war with Ukraine.  I think the biggest problem in our country is the lies from main stream media. Once people stop listening to the main news networks or at least compare them to the honest networks and compare information and then make a decision for yourself as to what is the truth everyone will be better informed.  The meltdown of the mainstream media was something to watch-and the big movie stars and singers-why should anyone care about what they think??

  Common sense, ranchers, farmers, the Amish communities, our younger generation, legal immigrants that fled communist countries gave Trump the win. Looking at the map pretty much only areas of blue were the large cities. I am happy common sense prevailed to save our country.. Also Trump donates his salary back-he does Not line his pockets with money during his Presidency as so many have done in the past.   Trump loves America and doesn't need the money-too many in the past get richer being President.

  Before Obama,  Americans came together after Presidential elections  I hope we can again and be one nation. Why does anyone want an open border for the world to come in unvetted??  Right now they are pouring in-none of us are safe with this going on.  Not fair to all of those that came in legally and went through  the long process to become Americans. Biden is using our Social Security and Medicare to pay these non Americans.

and Wow I saw last night that Harris copied Hillary's speech pretty much word for word in the beginning of it.. She has plagiarized in the past as well.

  I am deciding if I want to keep my blog or not, I have enjoyed sharing my crafts etc in the past but not sure about going forward  Perhaps a blog break just not sure yet.  I need to decide what to do about a camera-as I don't have a working camera any more.  


  Update: I do enjoy my blog and visiting friends, so I will be keeping my blog going forward. I just ordered a digital camera from online so hopefully this will work out well  if not I will send it back and try again

  Have a good Friday Hugs from the Lake

  2. I hope dear Kathy that you do not end your blog..... AND that you do find a way to get a camera.... I miss photos from you.. I miss your crafts . Maybe this is just a season and like i often do, you just take a break.. I'm actually thinking of posting more often about everyday stuff... If i'm just posting for me then i don't have to worry about drink photos for the Tparty... although i've come to like coffee and tea photos, so i might do them just for me.. Who knows.. Take care of you my friend and the rest will come out in the wash... Big Hugs! deb

    1. Thank you Deb, I do like my blog and have never cared for facebook where some of my friends are. I think I just want to remain mostly not joining up on link ups and continue posting for myself.
      I need to look into a camera this weekend hugs

  4. Didn´t know about the shrinking of the me meat such much.
    I sadly read that Harris had all her speeches learned by heart. No free speech, but who knows.
    My Brother also watches "other news" than me and we once fought so hard I started to cry... He then called again and said he is sorry and I avoid this subject now.
    We have no influence and only can wait. Here it´s still political circus, too. I feel the need to share an article about how much money terminated politicians get, if I do, Sunday it will be. It is hilarious.

    1. That's what I love about Trump and the left doesn't "get" he is not doing this for money like so many politicians are doing-only wants to save our country and make things better for it's citizens.
      what I have seen about Harris she only can read from a teleprompter-one time that broke and she just stood there and repeated the same sentence several times til worked again. oh well it's over now

  5. I feel like a black cloud is hanging over this country. Like a death has occurred. Our democracy is dead. Sigh......

    1. For me the dark cloud has been lifted-no more millions of illegals crossing our border-we are Not safe with this happening-no more millions of dollars going to to other countries-Our country's citizens need the help from the hurricanes, loss of jobs etc etc stop listening to the lies of the news channels-all lies and propaganda-find other news sources that tell the truth-

  6. My preference is to avoid any politics in blog postings and it will remain that way; however, Kathy, your post was appreciated. It comes after reading several other bloggers posts in which shock, disgust and disappointment were the focus. Even some non-American bloggers weighed in on their "disappointment" when perhaps they should look at their own government and politics. That's all I will say because as you said, people need to come together, not bemoan what is over and done. And like yourself, I could care less celebrities at any time.

    Hopefully, you will decide to continue blogging at your own pace and it would be nice if you do get a camera to share photos.

    1. Good evening, I do try not to get into politics either-but this election is a big one. I am searching amazon for a digital camera-found two I like will have Larry look at them and see what he thinks.
      the camera I had lasted around 20 years or more and Larry gave me his old camera that we figured was at least 25 years old so thinking we got our money's worth on those. smiles.
      I do enjoy my blog so going forward will get back to sharing what I love-food and my crafts.
      Hoping to get back to slow mail real soon too hugs
