  1. Last thing you have to do is say you’re sorry for down time, Kate! You’re not on salary, which reminds me, I should send in a small donation. I say a small donation because my bank account shrunk after I gave someone I trusted access to it. Now I’m $14,800. short and feeling sorry for myself!!
    But you’ve seen me thru all my hard times, Kate, right from shortly after my husband had a massive stroke and I was in shock.
    You keep me going, Kate, so never say you’re sorry.

  2. The Cost of a Border Wall vs. the Cost of Illegal Immigration
    …..stopping just 9% pays for the wall
    Based on the NAS data, illegal border-crossers create an average fiscal burden of approximately $74,722 during their lifetimes, excluding any costs for their U.S.-born children. If a border wall stopped between 160,000 and 200,000 illegal crossers — 9 to 12 percent of those expected to successfully cross in the next decade — the fiscal savings would equal the $12 to $15 billion cost of the wall.

  3. Kate
    I want to echo what Gellen said above, you have no need to apologise to me nor I doubt anyone else here. What you do is a huge amount that over the years has brought us some sanity, instead of screaming at walls.
    And likewise I need to hit the tips soon as this damn business gets back to normal. Rest up and take a little R&R we can all cope with a little blogging from you, you have pooches to look after, and you had better check on Lance I fear he is glued to a gaming machine or what ever they are called.

  4. Hey, I couldn’t pull any of this off without Lance’s support, particularly when I’m on the road. so take it easy.

  5. Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
    I learned that from Hollywood. Does that mean you DON’T love all of us, Kate ? You know … I mean Agape-love (spiritual), not Eros-love (I assume Lance gets that) …

  6. The F** Press can’t help themselves… At the press Conf NBC made a false statement that Trump did not win the Electoral College (Republican) by a higher count since RR ..The brain dead Reporter claimed GW Bush had more…
    The lead story on CNN was Trump Wrong, NBC Right… even when the graphic behind them correctly showed Trump has more than GW Bush…
    The stupid runs deep at CNN… YES! the Media is pissing in the Well of Trumps Russian policy. The Intel agencies and the Neo Cons..Lindsey, McCain, Krystal have pissed away 6 trillion in the ME…Trump is going to find it

  7. A correction the comparison was George H bush who got a huge bump by Reagan.. He had one term of total FU helped by the incompetent Republican First Black (presidential candidate want to be) Colin Powell & an incompetent Iraq Ambassador…The 1991 war was a embarrassment and set the stage for GW Bush to fix the screw-up
    The Bush’s have the habit of stupidity… When the Iraq war was over & Colin Powell took control of the peace. The first thing his ambassador did was dismiss all Iraq law enforcement (without the ability or agencies to control Iraq). The absolute chaos of Iraq Citizens stealing everything in Government Offices & Museums ended Colin Powell.

  8. Kate, I’m happy you got back safe. Winter traveling can be more treacherous than summer.
    You don’t have to be sorry about the downtime as you are well entitled to have a life other than the blog. We need to be thankful that you devote as much time as you do to this blog effort. And, yes, Lance does a great job of helping you and filling more so when you are gone and he even gets some abuse on occasion.
    gellen, sorry about your misfortune. Blessings and that you survive this bad time.

  9. Kate,
    You deserve to get away from all the political BS once in a while. Hope you had too much fun.

  10. Unless you were somehow prevented from posting your nuggets of wisdom, then your criticism of ANYone managing this blog is unfounded. Show us a link to YOUR blog or keep your snide criticism to yourself.

  11. Any ribbons Kate?
    Welcome back. Would venture to say you’re finding more agreeable weather here in the 306 than stateside.

  12. We did ok, took home an Award of Merit. (Westminster Kennel Club) I flew down Monday, so it was a quick turnaround trip. Not much down time for me, I was referring to the blog.

  13. Thank you, Ken. Really appreciate that. Since I can’t share the pain, except with my minister, it’s been hard to survive this one.
    Somehow coming on here and seeing what everyone is thinking about world events helps.

  14. well kate i for one am a staple here…a few years ago you had 63million viewers to your website in one year…if its only 1 million loyal viewers kate checking in 2-3 times a day you are his hands and feet. god bless. best wishes for the pooches and the big dog lancy baby the little lefty.

  15. I will echo the good comments from above Kate….we all need down time. No apologies required.
    I think I can speak for many saying we truly appreciate what you do. This IS by far the best blog on the web …When I get home from my daily toil tonight, I’ll put my money where my yap is…
    Cheers and enjoy the Big Apple…
