Mary Cassatt

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!  And thank you all who prayed for our Daisey. The vet said she has Lyme Disease. It’s treatable, so I’m trying not to be freaked out. Tick abatement lawn maintenance and tick body checks have been moved to the tippy top of our priority lists. She’s on antibiotics and managed to walk about 4/10ths of a mile yesterday. She was slow, but she did her business and occasionally got interested in sniffing. She spent the whole night on her pillow in the same position (so far as I could tell) so I tried to stand her up and massage her legs. She plunked down again. We decided to leave her there, since she was only 18″ from her pillow. She got herself back on to it, so that’s something.

TUCKER: “On this, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are absolutely right. … Historically, fighting usury has been a Republican issue.”

FOX NEWS: Physical and verbal attacks on pro-lifers escalate.

TRUMP’S BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL: Half a mile a day “We now have on contract sufficient funds to build about 256 miles of barrier,” acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan said Wednesday while testifying before the Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee.

GIULIANI: After a full day of media hysteria, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani announced Friday evening that he has canceled his trip to Ukraine. “I’ve decided I’m not going to go to Ukraine,” Giuliani told Fox News’ Shannon Bream. He said that the reason he bailed is because he has discovered that the president of Ukraine is surrounded by political enemies and is convinced that he was about to walk into a trap.

DEMOCRATS FREAKING OUT: House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., declared a “constitutional crisis” on Wednesday. The Fake Media and Democrats parroted his talking point.

Nadler also claimed that Trump was too colluding with Russia. So there. Nyah nyah. Wait, wut? I thought that refusing to accept Mueller’s conclusions would be a Very Bad Thing.

2019_05 12 Barr they're freaking out

At issue is the fact that Barr refuses to un-redact two full lines and seven partial lines of the Mueller report, because it would be illegal for him to make that information public.

In other news, Barr made a less redacted version of the Mueller report available to 12 selected congressional leaders. (The only remaining redactions are of grand jury material.) Five of the six Republicans have gone to read it. None of the six Democrats have bothered.

SOMETHING ELSE TO RANT ABOUT: Because the real news makes you-know-who look good and we can’t have THAT – In other ridiculousness, Lefties are all aflutter over allegedly authentic Trump tax returns showing he lost a pile of money in the years between 1985 and 1994. Ooookay. Ummmm … who cares?

He’s literally the biggest loser in the country.” … No, actually, that would be Hillary Clinton.

2019_05 12 Pelosi subpoena

HYPOCRISY: Nancy Pelosi was singing a very different tune in 2012, when it was Obama’s AG who said no to a congressional subpoena.

2019_05 12 HR 986

DEMOCRATS LYING: Noooooooooooooooooo, really?! – Dan Crenshaw went on a Twitter tear. I’ll spare you all the graphics and just copy/paste the text, minus all the spaces.

We reached a new low in deceitful politics today. The lies about protection for pre-existing conditions continue. This was one of the most shameful and dishonest bills passed in the House so far. #HR986

Bill is called “Protection for Pre-existing Conditions Act” but it has NOTHING to do with pre-existing conditions. It is a bill that limits states’ ability to innovate with more cost-effective solutions. Dems labeled it that way to mislead voters. Shameful.

States that have successfully innovated under current law include Alaska, Maryland, Oregon, Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New Jersey. They have saved money on premiums AND protected pre-existing conditions. Dems are against that, AND lying about it.

If passed by the Senate and signed by President Trump, HR 986 would disable the ability of the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury (collectively, the Secretaries) to issue a State Relief and Empowerment Waiver to a state whose plan innovative plan meets certain requirements.

2019_05 12 code pink

CODE PINK: It ain’t easy being a pro-brutal-dictator peace protester – Before Obama got elected, Code Pink was a media darling. Now, they’re worse than a joke. On April 10, they took thuggish Maduro’s invitation to occupy the Venezuelan embassy in DC. On Wednesday night, they squawked in outrage after the building’s power and water were shut off. Poor babies (emphasis on BABY).

SIMS AGAIN? – Yeah, I know I already covered this. But I got these clips in my FB feed and couldn’t help myself. Who knew that “Love Trumps Hate” would involve not only loudly shaming and attempting to dox WOMEN who are praying, but BRAGGING about it on social media? Keep it up, Sims. You’re just proving our side is the one that actually cares about women.

ABORTION: On average, Chicago’s Planned Parenthood sends a botched abortion patient to the hospital woman every 6.5 weeks.

The Planned Parenthood on Bleecker Street in New York City is even more dangerous. Their average is every twelve DAYS.

If pro-aborts actually cared about women, wouldn’t they be all over this?

THEN THERE WERE NONE: “Our goal is not to make abortion illegal. Our goal is to make abortion unthinkable.” – Abby Johnson says her ministry has helped 500 abortion workers leave their jobs.

About Brian Sims and others who harass pro-lifers – “I am sick of this idea that just because we are Christians we cannot stand up and defend ourselves, that we cannot stand up and defend our unborn brothers and sister. We are going to stand up. We will continue to speak up day after day after day.” We have to “turn our prayers into action.”
