MASCOTS: Mama Buzz says there are three little girls in the neighborhood who are in the same grade as Bunny! I’m so happy for her. She’s never had neighborhood play friends before. We’re hopeful that, with time and proximity, she can overcome her shyness. Meanwhile, Bootz just loves his Daddy’s boots. We surely did name him well.

TALK WITH TOTS: A study published this week in Pediatrics found that toddlers with parents who spend lots of time listening and chatting with them are more likely to have better language skills and higher IQs a decade later than youngsters left hanging in silence. Continue reading →

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Last month, a College of Southern Nevada sociology professor decided to protest President Donald Trump by shooting himself in the arm with a .22-calibre handgun. He is facing criminal charges for discharging a gun within a prohibited structure, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property. The Left Stream Media owns some of the responsibility for this. Continue reading →

HAPPY NEWS: Marine 2, our preemie grandson (born at 28 weeks) is now one month old and 3# 9 oz big. This week, he was graduated off of respiratory support and now has only a feeding tube and an IV. All praises to our Heavenly Father!!!

TRUMP ECONOMY: August showed higher-than-expected job growth, as well as a big rise in wages — all with unemployment remaining at record lows. Manufacturing hit its highest level since May 2004, and consumer confidence is at an 18-year high. That means the unemployment rate of 3.9 percent conceals even better news: All these stats point to a tight labor market, which means more people are also surely working more hours every week, with folks having been stuck working part-time moving to full-time, and other workers drawing overtime pay. – New York Post editorial

BULL PUCKY: After months of denying America’s recent economic success, they are now owning up to it … and reassigning credit to the Obama Administration! “The economy remains essentially the same sturdy one Trump inherited from Barack Obama,” Christopher Rugaber writes. STURDY? BWAHAHAHA! Take three metrics just for instance. Prior to President Trump taking office, orders and shipments of capital goods and business investments were on a downward trend and business applications were flat. All three have since surged upward. Meanwhile, blue-collar jobs in goods-producing industries — mining, construction and manufacturing — are growing at their fastest rate in more than 30 years.

U.S. SENATE: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s going to keep senators in D.C. during October in order to move forward on President Trump’s judicial nominations. Dems are whining that this is a ploy to keep them off the campaign trail in the crucial weeks before the 2018 elections. Maybe they should not have worked so hard to keep those positions empty. At this point in his presidency, Trump has had only 59% of his nominees confirmed by the Senate, the lowest in history.

KAVANAUGH: When Kavanaugh referred to “precedent upon precedent”, it sounded kind of like he believes Roe v. Wade is set in stone. “But that’s not the case. … He is simply making a factual statement. If one reads between the lines of what he is not saying, it could be concluded that just because a precedent has been established, it does not mean that it cannot be dismantled. Precedents don’t last forever. Precedents can be wrong. And there is no precedent more widely criticized by appellate judges than Roe. A repetition of an error does not make it any less of an error. Study Constitutional history, and you can conclude that the days of Roe v. Wade are numbered.” – Priest for Life editorial posted @ Life News

HILLARY: According to documents obtained from the State Department by government watchdog group, Judicial Watch, the classified material Hillary Clinton sent and received using an unsecure, private email server included correspondence with foreign leaders. Judicial Watch has called On AG Sessions to order “an honest criminal investigation” of Clinton’s email practices while she was secretary of state.

A WIN FOR WOMEN: On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8^th Circuit upheld Missouri laws requiring abortionists to have hospital admitting privileges for patient emergencies and that abortion facilities meet the same basic health and safety standards as other ambulatory surgical centers. It never ceases to amaze me that pro-aborts, who claim to be “pro-woman”, fight tooth and nail to exempt abortionists from meeting the same standards of care that we expect from other health care providers.

SICK: During a Congressional hearing today, a prominent pro-abortion attorney told Congress she thinks dismemberment abortions are “humane” procedures. So the “Humane Society” would be just A-OK with euthanizing unwanted puppies and kitties by ripping and twisting their little legs off, then crushing their skulls?

GENDER: A biologically male, convicted sex offender and pedophile was placed in an all-female prison facility, because he says he “identifies” as female. He is now also accused of sexually assaulting four female inmates.

TRANS SUICIDE RATE: Medical research shows that 80 to 95 percent of children outgrow gender dysphoria naturally and accept their biological sex if allowed to develop naturally. So why the hell are gender activists pushing so hard to get kids to undergo hormone replacement and gender surgery? Maybe “hell” is exactly the answer. Fifty-one percent of adolescent females transitioning to the opposite gender attempt suicide. In 2016, the overall teen suicide rate was 13%.

CHINA: According to internal Party documents, China is not merely relaxing it’s “one child only” policy, but pushing to “comprehensively implement a policy of each couple giving birth to two children.”

OMAROSA: As could be expected, this vile woman was celebrated by the hags on The View for releasing a recording of President Trump talking about Hillary and the phony Russian dossier she paid for. The hosts cackled and the audience applauded as Omarosa trashed President Trump, saying he is mentally unstable, supposedly because he had “still” been “obsessing” about this “old” issue. What Omarosa and the View witches failed to mention is that the recording happened RIGHT AFTER the Washington Post released the bombshell revelation that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid for the phony Russia dossier. So Trump was not obsessing long after the fact, but rather commenting on the latest breaking news. But why should any of that matter to the Trump Deranged?

 MASCOTS: School has started off well for Buzz and Bunny, who are enjoying having real lockers with doors for all their stuff, instead of the open cubbies they had in their old school.
