    Women's March On Washington

    in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

    Posted

    John Podhoretz at Commentary:

    It cannot go on like this. It’s been five days since the inaugural and the adrenalized, hypercaffeinated, speed-freak affect of the entire chattering class is beginning to seem like we’re living through Bob Woodward’s classic depiction in his book Wired of John Belushi’s final overcharged sleepless days before dying from a cocaine speedball overdose in 1981.

     

    If every word out of Donald Trump’s mouth is greeted with shrieks of horror and rage and anger and despair and hysteria by his opponents, they are going to find it impossible to serve as any kind of effective opposition to him.

     

     

     

    Meanwhile, Noemie Emery points out at the Washington Examiner some obvious facts about the wymyn’s march last Saturday that the rest of the media “analysis” can’t be bothered to notice:

    An estimated 1 million people in the United States and in cities in countries around the world turned out for the feminist protests against the new president, far too many in strange-looking hats while carrying signs that referenced female anatomy in other than medical terms.

     

    The female population of the United States was listed in 2014 as 162 million. If one subtracts 62 million for children and others it means that 100 million more women chose not to attend the marches, ignored them, or didn’t know they took place.
    More important than this is the fact that more than two months before American women en-masse had marched to the polls, where white women voted against Hillary Clinton, 53 percent to 47 percent, and the feminist movement did not take this well.

     

    “White women sold out the sisterhood and the world,” said one Slate writer, who blamed this result on “Self-loathing. Hypocrisy. And, of course, a racist view of the world.” And how in the world did this get to be racist? Because the white women had fallen down in their duty to stand with the non-white, the disabled, and those of gender-fluidity in the battle against the white male establishment that had been oppressing them all.

     

     

     

    All of this shrieking by the left is having a predictable effect: his public approval ratings are rising—up to 57 percent in one new poll just out.

    PANIC AT THE EPA! Trump Erasing Climate Change Data from EPA Servers. ....................(personally ? :lol:)

     

    FTA:

     

    Regardless of your position on anthropogenic climate change, this serves as an object lesson in the folly of politicized science. It shifts with the wind. The only reason this data is in danger of disappearing is because it resides on government servers. If it were on a private server somewhere, not only would it likely be backed up, but it would not depend upon political continuity.

     

    The lesson here, which the left will surely fail to learn, is that government should not be where we house our scientific endeavors. Of course, acknowledging that would mean depending on private funding. And who in the real world would pay for the things done at the EPA?

    He's also signed one stripping funding from sanctuary cities.

     

     

    Lefties triggered by news of Trump signing EO stripping federal subsidies from sanctuary cities

    White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer opened today’s briefing by outlining President Trump’s recent executive orders, and among them is an EO that seeks to strip certain federal funds to cities providing sanctuary to people in the country illegally in violation of federal law.

    Game Day Thread: Inauguration

    in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

    WAIT, THAT WASN’T THE NARRATIVE ON THE SUNDAY SHOWS: Poll: Voters liked Trump’s ‘America first’ address.

     

    “Dark. Negative. Divisive.

     

    That’s was the immediate narrative about President Donald Trump’s inaugural address. But many Americans liked it. A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows that the new president’s message is resonating with voters, refuting the idea that Trump bungled his first speech as commander in chief.”

    The Affordable Care Act II - Because Mr. Obama Loves You All

    YOU HAVE TO PASS IT BEFORE YOU CAN… OH: Schumer ripped Obamacare replacement before he read it. .... :D

     

    Two GOP senators say Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has dismissed their Obamacare replacement bill before he ever had a chance to read it.

    Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana said on CNN Tuesday that Schumer’s criticism of their plan to turn over healthcare policy to the states shows that the minority leader is making a partisan stand instead of trying to find a solution.

    “He’s trying to keep his party in line, he’s trying to enforce partisanship,” Cassidy said. “We’re not about partisanship.”

     

     

     

     

    Has Cassidy never heard the parable of the frog and the scorpion?

    Even if you enlist the establishment gov't? AKA: USACE? Get engineering involved?

     

    Be careful what you wish for. I gotta $5,000 "smoking shelter", 1/2 million HVAC upgrade, $10,000 lead test (which I failed... Damn lead chip eating! ;-) ), and 6 million dollar paint job to sell you.

     

    ...Oh, wait there is a hiring freeze on. I will get back with you in 2030.

     

    That is a great poem... Was just going to post it. Have you actually read it?

     

     

    Yes sir, many times.

    Sen. Kamala Harris sends heads to desks by declaring this gov’t spending a ‘human rights issue’

     

    Here's the truth: infrastructure spending isn't a transportation issue for most Americans — it's a human rights issue.

     

    Infrastructure spending is a human right? Do a lot of people on bad roads think their human rights are being violated?

     

    Human rights involve what a government is forbidden to do *to* you.

     

    The government cannot provide you with human rights.

    Planned parenthood isn't an abortion mill.

     

    It provides health care for women and resources to for people to responsibly plan their families. You indicated that this is a poor investment of your tax dollars.

     

     

     

     

    Planned Parenthood is about abortions, not Women's Health, as they claim. There are THOUSANDS of other clinics available to women that actually do offer complete health care.

     

     

     

     

    LiveAction investigation: Planned Parenthood pre-natal care “virtually non-existent”

     

    Unless one counts eliminating the natal part as care, that is. In the debate over defunding Planned Parenthood at the federal and state level, its executives and its defenders claim that doing so would be an attack on core health care for women, including pre-natal care for mothers-to-be.

     

    Live Action, which has long opposed federal funds for the nation’s largest abortion chain, decided to test that claim by calling 97 different PP clinics around the country. . . .Grand total that provide pre-natal care? Five:

     

     

    {snip}

     

    This is a long-awaited follow-up to a similar investigation about claims from Planned Parenthood about breast-cancer screening and diagnostics. In an earlier round of debate over barring federal funds from flowing to Planned Parenthood, Barack Obama argued that cutting off funds would endanger their ability to provide mammograms, but that claim turned out to be false.

     

    PP’s executives also claim that “one in five women depend on Planned Parenthood for health care,” which FactCheck.org demonstrated was way, way off; it’s closer to one in 30, and they offer no unique services that women can’t find at other clinics — except abortions.
