This Is Already Tiresome

Tucker Carlson was interviewing some blow-dried Ken-doll wannabe congresspunk from California last night and this clown would not stray from his talking points no matter what Carlson asked him. Thankfully, the network panned to a shot of the daily protests outside the Supreme Court.

I may be the only person in America who noticed some idiot holding a pre-printed sign that had the word “OPPOSE” at the top with a blank white space underneath it. After Trump made his nomination known, they printed “GORSUCH” in the blank space with a Sharpie. They were prepared to protest whoever the president picked, even if it was the Wizard of Oz.

As with their shameless behavior regarding the Cabinet nominees, they are going to fight this appointment tooth and nail. In the end they will likely lose, although it is a case of one originalist replacing another. The all-out war will occur if one of the leftists, probably the Notorious RBG retires from the bench. She has already stated she’s not going anywhere until there is a Democrat president to replace her.

Think: The Dems wheeling the late and unlamented Robert C. Byrd on a hospital gurney for an important vote, or Tim Johnson who suffered a brain aneurism and was absent for almost two years and never replaced, since he represented North Dakota, which would have elected a Republican in his stead.

They’re playing a dangerous and potentially disastrous game. Tingles Matthews claimed that not a single Democrat senator will vote to confirm. I disagree. There are 12 senators from red states up for re-election in 2018. The playbook says there will be 5 or 6 democrats who will be given permission to confirm as long as there are not the requisite 60 votes to uphold the filibuster. They all sing from the same hymnal: ‘Lord, save my ass.’

[CtH: I am still puzzling over why RBG didn’t retire when Obama was in office.  She’s older than dirt and is unlikely to survive the 8 years Trump could be in office.  Probably she, like the rest of the Ds, thought Hillary was a shoe-in.  Oops!  Cuz replacing Scalia with Gorsuch is no biggie.  Replacing Ginsburg with someone the Republicans like will tip the bench back toward traditional values and put Roe v. Wade seriously at risk.  We can pray!]

Chris Matthews: Gorsuch Vote Will Go To A Filibuster; Democrats Will Not Vote For Him, “Not A One”

“I think this is going to come down to a sad denouement,” Matthews said Tuesday night. “I think it’s going to take 60 votes to get this approved and I think the Republicans will have their rank-and-file 52 votes will be there. But I don’t think the Democrats are going to give them a single vote which mean this will go to a filibuster.”

[CtH: Why is Tingles still talking?]

Chris Matthews on Democrats who vote for Gorsuch:  He will “be on that court for 30 years … they will have to answer for this guy.”

And since, according to Matthews, no Dems will vote to confirm, the nomination will fall short of the required 60 votes.

This Insurrectionist disagrees. No matter how much McConnell reveres Senate tradition, he will not let such a qualified jurist, and Trump’s first Court nominee, go down to ignominious defeat. If push comes to shove, I predict that McConnell will invoke the nuclear option, and Gorsuch will be confirmed on a simple-majority vote.

IOW, THE DEMOCRATS MUST CHOOSE WHAT HILL THEY WANT TO DIE ON

Here’s Why It Would Be Very Stupid for Dems to Block Neil Gorsuch
Since January 20, many Americans have been daydreaming about the possibility of rebuilding the government from the ground up, like an episode of Designated Survivor. But as fun as it would be to watch Democrats tantrum their way into blocking Judge Neil Gorsuch‘s Supreme Court nomination, it’s a bad idea and would follow in the Republicans’ dangerous precedent.

Dems to Filibuster SCOTUS Pick, Claim Seat ‘Stolen’: “We will use every lever in our power to stop this.”
Senator Merkley declared the seat could go to none of Trump’s picks because it was “stolen,” presumably by the Russians.

“This is a stolen seat. This is the first time a Senate majority has stolen a seat,” Merkley said in an interview. “We will use every lever in our power to stop this.”

Neil Gorsuch: Conservatives Praise Trump’s ‘Home Run’ Supreme Court Pick

GORSUCH MEETS WITH SCALIA’S WIDOW AND HIS SON


Conservatives were effusive in their praise on Tuesday evening for President Donald Trump’s choice for the U.S. Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch.

Protesters Arrested In NYC Demonstration Against Trump Supreme Court Pick
WONDER HOW LONG BEFORE THEY DECLARE THIS AGGRIEVED VICTIM WILL BE LABELED A ‘CIVIL RIGHTS ICON’?

[CtH: Where do they get these people who have TIME to go to all these protests?!]

Among those arrested was Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner – the man who died on July 2014 on Staten Island as police tried to arrest him for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. A grand jury later declined to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who used a takedown move on Garner that many have described as a chokehold.

THIS WAS FROM YESTERDAY:
Once Again, Dems Deny Vote on Sessions… Where is GOP Leadership?
The Senate Judiciary Committee, once again, delayed voting Tuesday morning on the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general, pushing it back to Wednesday.

Therefore, the people of the United States remain without the proper attorney general, causing confusion and misdirection in the branch of government that ultimately provides safety and security to the American way of life.

BREAKING NEWS! PETE BRINGS YOU THE LATEST. THIS IS GREAT!!!

GOP changes Senate rules, approves Trump cabinet picks
A Democratic boycott couldn’t prevent President Trump’s cabinet picks for Treasury and health from gaining approval by the Senate Finance Committee.

The Republican-led committee changed its rules to allow it to operate without the boycotting Democrats and approve Steve Mnuchin for the Treasury post and Tom Price as Health and Human Services secretary.

The next step will be for the pair to be confirmed by the entire Senate.

THE REPUBLICANS MAY HAVE FINALLY GROWN A PAIR!

A Video Primer

There is much to put together on the news of the day: Trump nominating Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme court. I have not yet completed the task of putting things in order. However, in an effort to entertain early risers I’m posting some YouTube videos pertinent to current events.

Morning Joe Panel Blasts Democrats for Not Coming to Terms With Being in the Minority

[CtH: I must say again to the older gentleman who declared that nobody under 35 shares Trump’s values … WHEN WILL DEMOCRATS LISTEN?!  I have six kids under 35.  They like Trump.]

Law Professor: Trump’s Immigration Ban Constitutional, Admin ‘Absolutely’ Had Right to Fire AG

[CtH: Turley – “It’s very inconsistent.”  Professor, you make the mistake of thinking Obamacrats care about law, policy, or values.  They don’t.  They care about personalities, feelings, and destroying America.  In that sense, the woman’s actions were totally consistent with what the Justice Dept did during Obama’s tenure.  Dearest thinks she’s been promised a pay off for pulling this stunt.  I’m inclined to agree.  Look for her to run for office with big Democrat money support.  https://polination.wordpress.com/2017/01/31/its-not-about-law-policy-or-values/%5D

Hatch Blasts Democrats for Boycotting Votes on Trump Nominees

Sen. Wyden Was Against Partisan Obstructionism Before He Supported It

Democrats Boycott Confirmation Votes on Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin

Sen. Hatch: ‘This is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen in my whole time in the United States Senate’

I REMEMBER WHEN THE DEMOCRATS IN WISCONSIN PULLED THE SAME STUNT SO AS TO AVOID HAVING A VOTE ON NEUTERING THE TEACHERS’ UNION IN WISCONSIN. A BUNCH OF THEM STAYED IN A MOTOR INN DOWN HERE IN TOWN. EVENTUALLY THEY HAD TO RETURN AND THE REPUBLICAN-LED LEGISLATURE TOOK AWAY MANDATORY DUES DEDUCTIONS. GIVEN A CHOICE, MOST OPTED TO KEEP THE MONEY IN THEIR OWN POCKETS RATHER THAN GIVE IT TO THE BOSSES TO BE PASSED ON TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Dem Senator Compares Trump’s Immigration Order to Japanese Internment Camps

[CtH: Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) lies AGAIN about how the executive order targets Muslims.  It DOESN’T.  And for crying out loud, if banning immigration from SOME COUNTRIES is comparable to rounding up Japanese-American citizens into internment camps, then where the heck was the outrage when Presidents Carter and Obama DID THE SAME THING?  They’ve lost their minds.  Or maybe they never had any.]

Hatch Praises Judge Gorsuch’s Nomination to Supreme Court

Pelosi: It’s a very hostile appointment… Lovely family, I’m sure. But as far as your family is concerned, uh, uh, if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine or in any other way interact with the courts this is a very bad decision.

[Pelosi says Gorsuch is “well outside the mainstream of American legal thought.”  By this, she means he doesn’t legislate for Progressive social change from the bench.]

VIOLENT BARBIE JEEP RACING!!
PETE DARES TO BE DIFFERENT.

Tips for Democrats

John Nolte offers Democrats 9 hints for learning how to talk to “real people.”

Obviously, I don’t expect Democrats to do any of this stuff, because they seem to be incapable of learning.  But that is fine with me, since it likely means four more years for Trump!

Meanwhile … this is really good.  Wise and funny, my favorite combination.

According to the leftwing Politico, Democrats are attending classes to learn tips on “how to talk to real people.” Politico only fabricates damaging stories to hurt Republicans, so this must be true. As someone who was a Democrat until his mid-twenties, as someone who grew up in a working class household, as someone who was once a member of the working class, let me see if I can’t help.

Democrats want to better relate to the “real people” who helped elect President Trump, here is the best advice I can offer…

1. Step Away From the Pussy-Hats

This isn’t even a joke. What were you morons thinking running around all weekend on national television with your heads sticking out of cardboard vaginas? Listen, I’m the most live-and-let-live guy you’re ever gunna meet. As long as it doesn’t violate my rights or happen on my porch, how consenting adults live their lives is the least of my concerns.

If Democrats want to represent weirdos, fine.

But for the Party of Harry Truman to allow itself to be defined by humorless harpies wrapped in papier-mâché  lady parts… Donald Trump thanks you, and I don’t want to talk to you, because you’re creeping me out.

2. Stop Hating  Us

Parents who would rather not have a man in a skirt pee next to their young daughter are not Nazis.

You always talk to us as though we need correcting. It is not only insulting, it is authoritarian and sinister.

Until you stop hating us, our shields are going to be up. That is no way to have an honest conversation.

3. Stop Correcting Our Speech

Correcting someone’s speech is bossy, except I’m not allowed to tell you that because “bossy” has been disallowed by your Speech Police.

How can we have an honest conversation if I constantly have to be on guard over words? Someone who is on guard all the time, someone who is worried you might have a seizure if they call an illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant, isn’t going to open up to you.

And they sure as hell aren’t going to listen to you.

4. No One Wants to Talk to Elizabeth Warren

Senator Elizabeth Warren is a walking pussyhat.

In fact, I think her Indian name is “Shrieks with a Pussyhat.”

“Real people” simply cannot relate to a joyless, elite, wealthy, urbane, elderly white woman who reminds them of their first wife. Replacing Hillary Clinton with Elizabeth Warren is like replacing New Coke with Zima.

Democrats have the hectoring old biddy vote in the bag. The face of your Party should be a Senator Joe Manchin. He represents the kind of people you want to attract.

 5. You Are Not Superior

My least favorite people in the world are those who “escape” small town America and then look back on it with contempt, from their Manhattan Ivory Tower.

After years of working with my hands, in the outdoor heat and bitter cold, breaking my back… I figured out that this was not how I wanted to live my life. So I got out.

Here’s the thing… What separates me from the modern-day Democrat is that I have nothing but admiration for the working class. I don’t look back at those years or the people I worked with through a lens of contempt.

Write this cold truth down…

If artists and writers and journalists and pundits and actors and activists and teachers and comedians and late night television hosts, all disappear tomorrow, we would miss them but the world would keep right on turning.

Try to live one week without auto mechanics, plumbers, janitors, truck drivers, farmers, fishermen, garbage men, bus drivers, the guy who plows the snow, the men who melt steel and stock the shelves and tow your car.

These are the men and women who get up every morning to break their backs to keep our civilization intact.  Compared to them, nothing you or I do matters. It is not even close.

You might not like the fact that they smoke Winstons, eat cheeseburgers, tell inappropriate jokes, own firearms, and prefer NASCAR over “Scandal,” but damn your soft hands to hell for not respecting and admiring them.

6. Listen

The modern-day Democrat Party is now the Party of shouting others down.

You’re too busy screaming RacistSexistHomophobeXenophobeRedneckDepolorable! to listen.

You are too busy signaling your own virtue to hear what I have to say.

7. Join Us

Here in my small North Carolina town, many of my neighbors have visited the big cities, and through the Internet, television and movies, we have all spent real time in your world. FACT: We know a whole lot more about your culture than you do ours.

We have been to your museums. When have you been to our NASCAR race?

We have visited and toured, and, even for a time, lived in your cities. Outside of a campaign stop, when have you spent real time in our town?

We have watched and enjoyed your foo-foo movies and television shows. When have you given our faith a real chance?

We have read your websites and watched your news channels. When have you engaged in a single activity that helps you relate to us?  We know all about you. Now learn about us. Come. Join us. Not as a superior social scientist studying a specimen, but as a fellow human being.

Take a two-month leave. Rent a room in a small town. Get a temporary job at the Walmart. Eat at Bojangles. Try the Big Gulp. Buy a raffle ticket at the Church picnic. Put down the iPhone and sit on a porch.

Hate to pop your bubble, but YOU are the parochial, narrow-minded ones, not us.

8. Say What You Mean

“My househelper, a visually-impaired, Native American little person of color, who is a bit cerebrally-challenged but still an exceptional LGBTQQIP2SAA of differing sobriety, is now engaged in domestic incarceration.”

Just say that your retarded, blind-drunk, gay, Indian-midget of a maid got married.

9. Stop Taking Classes On How to Talk to ‘Real People’

In order to talk to real people, you have to be a real person.

Maybe start there.

Obama ended “wet foot, dry foot” for Cuban refugees

The left-wing’s rage over Trump’s immigration policy change is hypocritical, given that they had no problem whatsoever just a few weeks ago when Obama ended “wet foot, dry foot.”

This longstanding immigration policy allowed any Cuban who made it to U.S. soil to stay and become a legal resident.

Obama said that by sending unvetted Cubans back home, “We are treating Cuban migrants the same way we treat migrants from other countries.”

Actually … not so much, since Obama had a long-standing policy of requiring LEOs to ignore immigration law when it came to illegals who had come across the Rio Grande.

obama-terror-on-southern-border-toon

Personally, I think his attitude toward the latter was because those illegals tend to vote Democrat, even while they’re still illegal … something BTW that he TOLD THEM shortly before November’s election WAS A-OKAY.

As for banning Cuban refugees?  Well, they tend to become Americans and vote Republican.

Ridiculous Republicans Raise My Blood Pressure!

So far, at least 19 Republicans have announced opposition to or questioned Trump’s executive order banning travelers and refugees from 7 countries from entering the U.S.  Their statements are mostly b.s. and lies.

my-grammy-read-the-eo

Sen. John McCain: “There’s so much confusion out there,” McCain said on “Face the Nation.” “Obviously this process and these conclusions were not vetted.” He warned the order could be used as propaganda by ISIS for recruiting.

[So instead of using your bully pulpit to INFORM VOTERS what’s actually in the executive order, you promote the Democrats’ hyperbole and fake news.  Well done, Senator RINO.  You schmuck.]

Rep. Carlos Curbelo: “I expect that these executive orders are in fact temporary and that once the Administration strengthens the vetting process, we can continue our tradition of welcoming those who are persecuted in an orderly manner and without any kind of religious test.”

[“I expect …”  Duh, yeah, cuz THAT’S WHAT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER SAYS, you ignorant blowhard!]

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “I object to the suspension of visas from the seven named countries because we could have accomplished our objective of keeping our homeland safe by immediate implementation of more thorough screening procedures.”

[And all the years that Obama did NOT implement the screening procedures that were recommended, you were doing what with your mouth and your congressional position?]

Rep. Charlie Dent: “This is ridiculous. I guess I understand what his intention is, but unfortunately the order appears to have been rushed through without full consideration. You know, there are many, many nuances of immigration policy that can be life or death for many innocent, vulnerable people around the world.”

[Right.  Like that Iraqi guy who was killed waiting for his visa during Obama’s BAN ON REFUGEES FROM IRAQ.]

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick: “While we certainly need to enhance our current vetting process and significantly reform our immigration policies to make sure terrorists are not exploiting our nation’s proud tradition of freedom and acceptance, the President’s policy entirely misses the mark.”

[And your plan would be what exactly?]

Rep. Justin Amash: “It’s not lawful to ban immigrants on basis of nationality. If the president wants to change immigration law, he must work with Congress.”

[Obama banned Iraqis.  Plus, coming in to this country is a privilege, not a right. Just like it is if one of us tries to go to some other country.  Plus, where were you when Obama was ordering LEOs to IGNORE IMMIGRATION LAW?]

Rep. Barbara Comstock: “The President’s Executive Order issued yesterday went beyond the increased vetting actions that Congress has supported.”

[Too bad none of you made any of that stuff happen while Obama was squatting in the WH.]

Sen. Susan Collins: “The worldwide refugee ban set forth in the executive order is overly broad and implementing it will be immediately problematic.

[Oh COME ON!! It’s not a “worldwide refugee ban”, you stupid cow!  It’s seven nations and it’s for a specific amount of time while we shore up our vetting process!  READ THE ORDER, DAMMIT!]

Sen. Jeff Flake: “It’s unacceptable when even legal permanent residents are being detained or turned away at airports and ports of entry.”

[And these legal permanent residents were, ummmm, lemme think, vetted and allowed in, right?  Oh yeah.  That’s what I thought.  So big f*ing deal.  Some folks got delayed at the airport.  Small price to pay to keep suicide bombers out.]

Sen. Ben Sasse: “If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion. Our generational fight against jihadism requires wisdom.”

[Asshat.  Don’t use a minute of your time in the press spotlight to CLARIFY what the order actually says, cuz that would be like, I dunno, too pro-Trumpish or something?]

Sen. Rob Portman: “This was an extreme vetting program that wasn’t properly vetted.”

[This is NOT A VETTING PROGRAM.  Did you even read the order?  I did!  It’s posted here:

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/28/politics/text-of-trump-executive-order-nation-ban-refugees/

And if that’s too COMPLICATED for you, Mr. Senator, cuz of all the big words, you can read the simplified version I wrote and posted here:

https://polination.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/protecting-u-s-from-terrorists/%5D

Sen. Cory Gardner: “I urge the Administration to take the appropriate steps to fix this overly broad executive order.”

[See what I said to Senator Portman.]

Sen. Bob Corker: “[T]his executive order has been poorly implemented, especially with respect to green card holders.”

[Green card holders aren’t affected.  Butthead.  READ THE DAMN ORDER!]

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Such a hasty process risks harmful results…. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children.” (in a statement with John McCain)

[The order allows for case-by-case exceptions.  READ THE DAMN ORDER!]

Rep. Elise Stefanik: “I oppose President Trump’s rushed and overly broad Executive Order.”

[READ THE DAMN ORDER!]

Sen. Lamar Alexander: “This vetting proposal itself needed more vetting.”

[Oh, wow.  THAT’s really perspicacious /sarc. Oh wait.  You’re too dumb to know any big words.  Well, google it.  Or do you not know how to use the internet?]

Rep. Will Hurd: “This visa ban is the ultimate display of mistrust and will erode our allies’ willingness to fight with us.”

[Bullsh*t.]

Rep. Mike Coffman: “While I’ve supported heightened vetting procedures for those wanting to travel to our country, I have never, nor will I ever support a blanket travel ban for people solely based on ethnic or religious grounds.”

[OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. READ THE DAMN ORDER.  IT ISN’T A BLANKET TRAVEL BAN AND IT DOES NOT TARGET ANYONE BY ETHNIC OR RELIGION. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!]

Gov. John Kasich: “In probably many Arab capitals today, people are like, ‘What is America doing?’ He told WashPo.

[Why the hell don’t you use your exalted position as governor to INFORM THEM.  But lemme guess … you didn’t read the order yourself, right?  You just caught what some Democrat blowhard said on MSNBC?]

Stupid people don’t violate their own party’s wishes.  Corrupt people do.  And the most likely reason a corrupt person would say stupid and deceitful things that are in lock-step with the most extreme factions of the OTHER party is blackmail.

By their fruits we shall know them.  Their fruits tell me that Democrats have got something on these Ridiculous Republicans and will destroy their careers if they don’t march to the tunes played by the Progressive Nazi Collaborator George Soros.

Who is and always has been truly pro-life?

The Republican Party, that’s who.  In the 19th c., Democrats sided with slavers. In the 20th c., they opposed civil rights legislation.  It was only after LBJ saw the writing on the wall that he jumped his party on board the Black Train and, as he so colorfully put it, got “niggers votin’ Democrat.”

dem-party-platforms-then-and-now

Since then, Democrats have owned the governments of cities like Chicago and Detroit, which they managed to turn into hell holes for blacks.  And they have promoted abortion and funded Planned Parenthood, which targets minority communities, for what has amounted to a genocidal attack on poor people of color.

abortion-is-genocide

Former president Obama used to mark the March for Life with a White House proclamation praising Roe v. Wade.  If a state cut funds to Planned Parenthood, he’d send federal funds, despite the undeniable fact that the founder of Planned Parenthood was a flaming racist.

sanger-minority-menace

But the times they are a’changing.  As in the days of our first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, we again have an abolitionist in the White House!

2017_01-27-trump-tweets-march-for-life

I read where Whoopi Goldberg said anti-abortion activists should stop using the name “pro-life” because supposedly “everyone is for life.” I don’t agree with her on any of that, including the last part. I know there are people who profit off of and even revel in death.

But what amused me greatly was that Goldberg felt compelled to try to co-opt the name for her side. Clearly, we are making HUGE progress with the public. Otherwise, she’d never do that, right?!

Building the Wall

obama-on-national-security

Trump’s order to start building the wall is not by-passing Congress.  Back in 2006, Congress passed a law authorizing the construction of 700 miles of fencing along the southern border, as well as additional lights, cameras and sensors to enhance security.

Then, Democrats got control of Congress a few months later and put an amendment into a 2008 spending bill that took all the teeth out of the 2006 law.

IOW, Democrats buried an unpopular measure they wanted inside a spending bill so they could avoid standing up and taking responsibility for blocking something Americans want done.

But, and this is a big but, the original law was never repealed.  Congress doesn’t have to pass a new law to begin construction.  All they have to do is package the funds necessary to build the original and substantial law into a massive spending bill.

Democrats would have a politically hard time blocking construction, since it would require them to block the spending bill and shut down the government, something they mocked Republicans for doing in the past.

Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton all voted for the 2006 law.  So did Chuck Schumer and a whole host of other Democrats in the House and Senate, many of whom are still in Congress.

President Trump has said the wall will be from 35 to 50 feet high and made of pre-cast concrete.  He also plans to figure out a way to make Mexico pay for it.

Today’s March for Life

Once again, with her cat-like reflexes, our own CtH has scooped the blogosphere with her post about the Vice President addressing today’s march for life.

[CtH: Yes, well … while Pete was battling the elements delivering newspapers, I was parked in my nice warm office, sipping tea. :)]

I am tasked, therefore, to extrapolate (where the hell did I get THAT word?) on what she initiated. One thing is sure … they won’t leave the tons of trash the Pussy Patrol did last week, and you’ll hear no venomous speech.

One thing that rankles me is that these “enlightened” females whine about it’s their body and their choice. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Once the child has a heartbeat, it’s no longer ‘her body’… it’s the baby’s. They conveniently ignore that.

The president left no doubt about his belief in the sanctity of a human life

Strongest White House support yet for March for Life

When throngs of abortion protesters convene Friday for the annual March for Life, they will enjoy the warmest show of White House support in the event’s four-decade history.

Vice President Mike Pence and top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway will headline the pre-march rally on the National Mall, becoming the highest-ranking members of a presidential administration ever to speak at the annual protest.

Trump to ‘call in’ to the March for Life
President Trump will “call-in” remarks to the annual March for Life event in Washington, D.C., on Friday, according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.

[CtH: He’d probably come if it wouldn’t be such a security nightmare for the Secret Service.]

Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush are the only other chief executives to have addressed the anti-abortion march. They also did it remotely.

ABC aired an interview of the president last night with David Muir. They left this out:

Whoopi On March For Life: We Can Be Both ‘For Life’ And ‘Pro-Choice’

NO, MS. JOHNSON. NO, YOU CAN’T.

“I’m for life,” Goldberg said. The she turned to the audience and asked, “Is anyone here not for life?  Maybe we should stop talking about being pro-life or anti-life because nobody is not for life. We are pro-choice. That’s the difference.”

Pelosi: Democrats Do ‘the Lord’s Work,’ Republicans ‘Dishonor God’

Of Republicans, the Democrat congresswoman from California declared, “They pray in church on Sunday and they prey on people the rest of the week. And while we’re doing the Lord’s work, ministering to the needs of God’s creation, they are ignoring those needs which is to dishonor the God who made them.”

[CtH: Is she stupid, uninformed, or just a vicious, hateful liar?]
[bluebird of bitterness: Yes.]

The Democrats’ No-Good, Very Bad day

They better get used to it. Donald Trump is not the ordinary Republican pushover. He can’t be bribed and he refuses to play their insipid games.

Senate Democrats Propose $1 Trillion Infrastructure Plan
Senate Democrats on Tuesday offered a plan to spend $1 trillion on transportation and other infrastructure projects over 10 years, challenging President Donald Trump to join them on an issue where they hope to find common ground.
Democrats estimate their plan would create 15 million jobs. The plan includes $210 billion to repair aging roads and bridges and another $200 billion for a “vital infrastructure fund” to pay for a variety of transportation projects of national significance.

THIS WON’T FLY. EIGHT YEARS OF OBAMA’S OBSCENE PROFLIGACY WITH TAXPAYER MONEY HAS COME TO AN END. PRESIDENT TRUMP CONSIDERS HIMSELF THE STEWARD OF CITIZENS’ HARD-EARNED MONEY AND WON’T WASTE ANY IF HE CAN HELP IT. HE BUILDS THINGS… HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET.

Joy Behar and Company Are In Full Meltdown Mode Over POTUS Trump
Joy goes on to give Spicer advice for his professional career, telling him to “get out now” and just “get a job on CNN”.
Behar – “He can still get out. Get out now Sean! Get out now! I said that to Kellyanne!”
This is just another example of the far left belittling President Trump’s staff. They are not able to accept his accomplishing more since Friday than Obama did in eight years as president.
It’s going to be a long eight years for the women of The View.

House Dem Accuses Republicans of Wanting Women to Die From Unsafe Abortions

Rep. Barbara Lee (D., Calif.) on Tuesday accused congressional Republicans of wanting women to die from “unsafe abortions” while she spoke in opposition to H.R. 7, a bill that would prevent taxpayer money from being used to fund abortions.
“Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 7. This discriminatory bill would undermine a woman’s access to abortion care, which is a constitutional right, as affirmed by Roe v. Wade, 44 years ago,” Lee said.

ABORTION IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT! SEVEN SUPREME COURT JUSTICES DECIDED IT WAS LEGAL IN 1973. YOU WILL FIND IT NOWHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION.

DNC Chair Candidate Says His Niece Was ‘Sobbing’ After Trump Won Presidency

“At 6 o’clock in the morning, I was woken up. I saw that it was my niece, Taneisha, and what had not even processed in my mind when I was so upset about what the results were was how she, as a young African American 20-year old, how she processed what happened the night before and she was sobbing so hard that I couldn’t understand at first what she was saying,” Buckley said.
He asked his niece repeatedly what was wrong with her, and she responded that she needed him to get her out of the United States.

Hillary is ‘50-50’ on running for NYC mayor, insider says
THE MILLIONS FLOWING INTO THEIR MONEY LAUNDERING FOUNDATION DRIED UP WHEN SHE COULD NO LONGER SELL INFLUENCE. SHE NEEDS TO GET BACK INTO OFFICE TO MAKE SOME MONEY, SINCE THEY’RE PROBABLY WHINING ABOUT BEING BROKE AGAIN.

For now, Hillary is enjoying nights out and is considering spending more time writing.
Bill, meanwhile, has re-devoted himself to the Clinton Foundation, which took a beating during the presidential campaign.
Then-candidate Donald Trump referred to the foundation as a “criminal enterprise,” although last week at an inaugural luncheon, he praised the Clintons.
