“Beyond their functions of digestion and absorption, the intestines are also one of the body’s major barriers to invasion. Whatever is in the gut is simply passing through and still belongs to the external world. Only after penetrating the bowel lining do substances and organisms enter the body proper. Since this protective function of the gut tissue is critical to well-being,it is generously supplied with its own local immune system, one that works in coordination with the body’s general immune defenses.” – When the Body Says No, by Gabor Maté, M.D. (p. 137)
Bunny has mild autism and has been in special ed pre-school and getting therapy. She has made so much progress that, this fall, all her peeps decided she was ready to mainstream kindergarten (with some helps). We’re so proud of her. And check out what she did this week, entirely on her own! She didn’t copy anything and Mama Buzz didn’t tell her what words to write or how to spell them. Wow!
I took yesterday off to celebrate with Dearest! After 38 years, 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 9 war deployments, and 6.25 grandkids, all we could say was, “Thank you, God! What a ride it’s been!”
The incoherent rants concocted by this reporter began in February of 2011. Since then there has been an unbroken string of nonsensical claptrap with no redeeming moral or social value flowing from this keyboard. I plan to continue annoying everybody around here for a while yet, but as granny always said: ‘never say never.’

CNN, MSNBC Speculate on Removing Trump From Office Via 25th Amendment
She related the dreams of Democrats: “It lays out the path for removal of the president in cases of inability. And that’s a term that has never been defined or suggested. So here’s what exactly would need to happen to set the 25th Amendment in motion.” Schneider proceeded to tell viewers that the vice president and a majority of the cabinet would have to tell Congress the President is “unable” to discharge his duties. From there, the plan would eventually move to Congress.
Schneider allowed, “Really what it comes down to is that a majority of Republicans in the cabinet and the Congress, they would have to openly reject the President and begin a movement to oust him.” https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2017/10/12/cnn-msnbc-speculate-removing-trump-office-25th-amendment

Trump’s tax reform is teetering. Will McCain, Collins and Paul thwart him again? McCAIN GETS A PERVERSE THRILL OUT OF BEING A DICK
Grassroots Republicans have no idea how close the GOP is to another profoundly disappointing policy collapse in Washington: failing to enact tax reform.

Walter’s Wife, Hollywood, and Caitlyn Jenner? | Unhinged in Hollywood | JEFF DUNHAM
As with all liberals, this scumbag is only contrite after he gets caught. Then they always look to deflect blame elsewhere. After all, Hillary losing was everybody else’s fault. In this case, it was no secret that Weinstein was a world class sexual predator who used his power to avail himself of many young starlets.
Roman Polanski was charged with the rape of a 13 year old and thought he’d be sentenced to probation for his minor peccadillo. When he heard he was headed to prison, he hauled ass for Europe where he hid out for decades. Don’t be surprised if Ol’ Harvey pulls the same stunt.
‘I gotta get help… we all make mistakes’: Harvey Weinstein’s meltdown in front of photographers as he leaves LA on a private jet for $40,000-a-month rehab clinic

DailyMail.com has learned the FBI opened an investigation into Weinstein http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4972836/Weinstein-meltdown-photographers-LA.html#ixzz4vJMy9sZ6
Serial sexual predator Harvey Weinstein has taken off for Europe ostensibly to seek treatment for his sexual deviance. Yeah, right. In the vast expanse of the United States of America, there isn’t one rehab for sex addiction?How stupid do you think we are, Harvey? No, this is Harvey pulling a Polanski. http://patriotretort.com/harvey-pulls-polanski/
HILLARY CLINTON ‘Sick, Shocked, Appalled’ by Weinstein Allegations – Will Give His Donations to Charity (Wink-Wink)
Hillary said she was “sick, shocked and appalled” by allegations that Weinstein was a serial sexual predator.
Weinstein is a major donor and bundler for the Democrat Party. “Well, there’s no one to give it back to. What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is that they’re going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that.”
…Says the woman who wrote off used underpants on her tax returns!
Hillary Clinton Dodges Question on Re-Donating Tainted Weinstein Contributions
On October 11, 2017, Pope Francis said the Catechism of the Catholic Church should be revised to reflect his opinion that capital punishment is contrary to the Gospel.
He’s wrong. The teaching of the Church on the permissibly of capital punishment has stood for 20 centuries and it’s taken from Divine Revelation, which means it is infallible, and not subject to change, not even by a pope.
Lee Ohanian, Professor of Economics at UCLA and consultant to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, explains why Presidents Hoover and FDR created, then extended the Great Depression.
