Let’s rename ‘school’ as ‘uterus’ so maybe Republican lawmakers will want to do something about the children dying inside them.

A timely quote from "Dune" by Frank Herbert.

When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late.


It seems rather appropriate for a certain segment of the population.

From the Onion:

White House Now Just Holding Continuous Going-Away Party For Departing Staffers

WASHINGTON—In an effort to make the frequent festivities for departing staffers more efficient, White House officials announced Tuesday that the administration is now just holding one continuous going-away party. “Instead of throwing a send-off celebration for Rob Porter and Rick Dearborn only to turn around and do it again a week later, we will now simply hold around-the-clock gatherings with light refreshments and cupcakes to honor whoever left the administration most recently,” said Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, adding that employees may now join their coworkers at any time of day in the permanently decorated White House kitchen where a never-ending stream of staffers will announce that this is their last day, perpetually deliver farewell speeches, and constantly pass around and sign goodbye cards for continuously departing coworkers. “In order to avoid another situation like when we had three separate get-togethers in one week for Sean Spicer, Michael Short, and Reince Priebus, aides may now enjoy a cup of soda, don a party hat, reminisce over fond memories together, and say their farewells whenever it is convenient for them.” Huckabee-Sanders added that she looks forward to seeing everyone in the kitchen, where she expects to be honored shortly.

A different perspective on illegal immigration.

My son just sent this to me. I don't know if it has been posted here before or not, but I found it interesting.

Tom Cotton for WH chief of staff. Smart, tough, analytical, message-disciplined, all-in for Trump. Set Arkansas free.

That would effectively dash his hopes for a bid for the Presidency.

Paraphrasing David Axelrod on ABC "This Week".

Everyone hoped that General Kelly would rub off on Donald Trump. Instead, Donald Trump has rubbed off on General Kelly.

Are laws being broken here or is it just incompetence?

On Page 1, the @washingtonpost reports that the president doesn’t read his daily intel brief. On Page 4, it reports that his son-in-law, who hasn’t been able to get a permanent clearance, does.

George W. Bush says Russia meddled in 2016 US election

Former President George W. Bush said on Thursday that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

While never mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Bush appeared to be pushing back on Trump’s decisions on immigration, as well as trying to have warmed relations with Russia.

-------

Bush said it wasn’t clear if Russia’s “meddling” directly affected the election, though he said it was clear they tried.

“It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election,” the former president said.

I know, I know, it's GWB, but considering his relative silence on matters since he left office, I think it's significant that he has addressed this issue.
