If I hadn’t watched this with Dearest, I would have thought it was a chick flick, cuz there’s no blood, guts, car chases, or gun play. But he really liked it a lot. It’s clean, heart-warming, and has good values. Just a pleasant, undemanding flick that brought a happy tear to my eye at the end.

Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican? [5:20]
The south used to vote Democrat. Now it votes Republican. Why the switch? Some people say it was because the GOP decided to appeal to racist whites. Carol Swain, Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, explains that this is a myth.

Chris Wallace on FNS grills Pelosi, asking if the Dem leadership is out of ideas and frankly, ‘too old.’ He points out all the special elections LOST by Democrats recently and asks if Dems need new leaders.
Nancy Pelosi says she doesn’t think so. She tells Wallace ‘she’s a master legislator.’
What are the chances Dems win back the House in 2018?
Pelosi dismisses the question.
Watch Pelosi’s incoherent explanation of what Obamacare is.

Note: President Trump posted this. I tried searching for it at Heritage.org, but was unable to find it … which doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

When asked about her no vote, Alaskan Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she wasn’t worried about it because she’s not up for re-election until 2022. I guess now we know where her priorities are.
Former DNC Chair DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ is the face of the biggest scandal the mainstream media refuses to cover. Does anyone doubt this story would be getting much more aggressive coverage if Wasserman Schultz was a Republican, or a member of the Trump administration?
Far-left political activist and filmmaker Michael Moore told Stephen Colbert, “I refuse to live in a country where Donald Trump is president, and I’m not leaving. So something’s got to change.” Wow. He sure thinks a lot of himself. !!

If you read just 1 thing today, make it this. Better yet, print it to absorb in smaller doses during your quiet times.
“A ‘new’ world doesn’t automatically mean a good one — or even a little bit better one. The good news is that we make the world. Augustine said it’s no use whining about the times, because we are the times. Our actions matter. Our choices matter. Our lives matter. It’s through us that God acts in society and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is carried forward. So we need to own that mission. And only when we do, will anything change for the better. …
“When young people ask me how to change the world, I tell them to love each other, get married, stay faithful to one another, have lots of children, and raise those children to be men and women of Christian character. Faith is a seed. It doesn’t flower overnight. It takes time and love and effort. Money is important, but it’s never the most important thing. The future belongs to people with children, not with things. Things rust and break. But every child is a universe of possibility that reaches into eternity, connecting our memories and our hopes in a sign of God’s love across the generations. That’s what matters. The soul of a child is forever.”

If he had kept his campaign promise, the vote would have been 50-50, allowing the Vice President to break the tie and pass REPEAL.
NINE months ago, McCain promised to REPEAL and REPLACE Obamacare. [4:34]
THIS WEEK, McCain voted NO to REPEAL and REPLACE Obamacare. [1:18]
I think this betrayal confirms every suspicion we’ve ever had that McCain was a traitor in Vietnam, that the Democrats have proof of it, and that they have used it to control him throughout his career. I briefly entertained some hope that his imminent appearance at the Pearly Gates would lead him to flip the bird at his Democrat masters. I’m certain they made sure to remind him before this vote that they would not hesitate to destroy his reputation forever if he didn’t toe the Democrat line on this critical vote. It’s sad that he would be more concerned with his temporal reputation than with his eternal destination, but that’s how he has lived his whole life. He’ll reap what he has sowed.

A survey that asked, “Have you ever been a member of the armed forces?” received 6,546 “valid responses.” From that, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality inexplicably concluded that “approximately 15,500 transgender individuals are serving on active duty or in the Guard or Reserve forces.” IOW, 1.2 percent.
Another study, one that was sponsored by the military, estimated that “the number of transgender individuals currently serving in the active component of the U.S. military at between 1,320 and 6,630 out of a total of about 1.3 million service members.” IOW, between 0.1 and 0.5 percent.
The first number makes no sense, given that the estimated trans population in America is only around 0.3 percent.
I’m inclined to believe in the lowest end of the estimates. For one thing, the highest figure for active duty was inappropriately extrapolated from a sample that included any past service. For another, I just find it difficult to believe that the average transsexual would want the military life.
