The Supreme Court has declined to take up a challenge to Kentucky’s law requiring abortion center staff to show each patient her ultrasound images and describe the dimensions of her unborn baby and the presence of internal organs, if seen.
The lone abortion clinic in Kentucky routinely performs ultrasounds before doing abortions, but doesn’t like patients to see the images, since so many women change their minds after seeing they are carrying a baby, not a blob.
Earlier this year, judges, from the 6th Circuit, ruled 2-1 that the law did not violate a doctor’s First Amendment rights to free speech and that the information gleaned from an ultrasound was pertinent to a woman’s decision-making.
The attorney for the state of Kentucky noted it “adds absolutely no more than five minutes to the procedure. There’s nothing unreasonable about this.”
DEMOCRAT GO-TO STRATEGY: When the facts make Trump look good, Democrats just make stuff up.
Recently, Schiff tweeted, “Trump is seeking to kick millions of families and children off food assistance.” And AOC moaned about “dissolving lifelines of those who need it most.”
The new rule applies only to able-bodied, childless adults between the ages of 18 and 49.
And The New York Times article clearly says “nearly 700,000” will be affected which, last I looked isn’t even one million, never mind millions with an ess on the end.
Anyway, what is the big deal?! We went on food stamps when we were both unexpectedly out of work. There most definitely was a work requirement.
So thank you, taxpayers, for helping us through a low point. We were and are very grateful. But it never occurred to us that we shouldn’t keep trying to find new jobs!
Officials say the rule, which takes effect April 1, 2020, will save the government billions of dollars and encourage more people to work at a time when jobless rates are near a 50-year low.
QUID PRO JOE:Biden bragged in public and on camera that, when he was Obama’s VP, he threatened to withhold vital U.S. aide to the Ukraine if they did not fire then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
Shokin got fired; Ukraine got their money.
The Epoch Times reports that now-former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin says his office was preparing to interview then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, as part of a money laundering probe into Hunter Biden’s employer, the Burisma energy company.
Shokin says then-President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, told him directly that he had to step down as prosecutor general because Joe Biden had threatened to withhold vitally needed aid. “You are a patriot of Ukraine. We need this billion dollars.”
Several Senate committees are probing what the Bidens did during their dealings with Ukraine.

!! WE ARE IN SHOCK !!
We are all recovering from shock here today. Late yesterday we received the news that baby Brianna has defied the odds and delivered a Christmas miracle for her family.
Diagnosed in pregnancy with a rare and “terminal” genetic condition from having a small cerebellum and pons in the brain (a condition called Pontocerebellar hypoplasia or PCH), she was given anywhere between a few hours and young adulthood to live (she also had fluid on the brain). The family were told to “terminate” the pregnancy. As there is no cure. There is no “fix”. There is no answer.
Yet yesterday it was found, to the shock of doctors, nurses and well….everyone involved really….that she was perfectly healthy. The initial diagnostic symptoms she had have miraculously disappeared and she was cleared of the condition after passing a million and 1 tests – from eye scans, to renal tests, to ultrasounds and even a brain MRI.
I would not have believed this had I not attended the last scan (to support the family as a bereavement and birth doula) and witnessed the examination of the brain and saw the fluid with my own 2 eyes.
We literally saw the diagnosis. We spoke with multiple doctors and specialists in depth. We were referred to the pallative care team to “plan”. We were told to prepare for the worst. And on multiple occasions, even I was asked if I knew what I was in for and prepared myself for the journey that I was about to undertake as a doula supporting this family.
Today…..there are no words. There is no explanation.
Just joy and tears. BIG HAPPY TEARS!
This story needs to be told. Both the family and I feel the need to do that. Soooo….watch this space!!

BIDEN: Greg Gutfeld on the “No Malarkey” bus tour [7:02] – “He’s not the Democrats’ real candidate. Impeachment is.”
One of the ladies on the street had it exactly right. Malarkey means “empty rhetoric or insincere or exaggerated talk.”
Juan Williams, “I think Republicans are worried about Biden.” BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
BOOTY JUDGE: [4:00]– “I am running not only to be the Democratic nominee who can bring change to the White House” … because this era of low unemployment, rising wages, high stock markets, no major wars, declining abortion rates, etc., has just got to end.
MEDICARE FOR ALL: [1:24] – It’s a loser for Democrats.
Click the link to read the first person story of an American woman who has been severely epileptic since infancy. The excellent care she received here in the states has given her a fulfilling life. After taking a job in London, she was shocked to discover how bad the nationalized health care is in the UK. As much as she wanted to stay there for a job she loved, she had to return home. Her life depended on it.
SUPER TUESDAY: March 3, 2020 –Super Tuesday is the date during the presidential primary when the largest number of states hold primaries or caucuses. It is significant because of the likelihood that the day’s winner will become their respective party’s nominee.
Though many states have not yet announced what day their primary will be, it is clear from the number of states who have announced thus far that March 3rd will have the greatest concentration.
