1) Women’s March vs. March for Life
The C word. The F word. The P word. The S word. The D word.
The FCC would surely fine me if I actually told you what was
brandished on signs at Women’s Marches across the country this
weekend, but you get the picture.
It was an alphabet soup of vulgarity.
The disgusting display at Women’s Marches across the country was
appalling for so many reasons.
The worst was how many moms exposed their children to such hatred.
Kids have no idea what this march is about. And I don’t think their
parents do either.
Just for a second, think about what you are you teaching your
daughters.
What was the message at the Women’s March? Something between “We
hate Trump and stay away from our genitalia” I think.
That’s not a productive mission statement.
You need to be for something, not against something.
If those who attended the Women’s March really cared about women’s
rights, they would have attended the other rally that happened this
weekend: The March for Life.
Their message was much more clear and noble. Let more women be born.
The March for Lifers are literally trying to save the lives of
millions of women.
The Women’s Marchers are complaining about Donald Trump.
You tell me which message is more heroic.
2) The shutdown continues
I’m sure most of you are listening to this right now from inside the
safety and security of your Government Shutdown bomb shelters. For
those of you that did manage to venture out into the horror, I
salute your bravery.
The shutdown is now entering its third day. The Senate has a
procedural vote at noon today that could fund the government
temporarily until February 8th, but I wouldn’t hold out much hope.
Don’t crack the lid on those bomb shelters just yet. The rumor is
the relationship between the White House and Chuck Schumer is at an
all-time low. Trump met with Schumer on Friday. Trump wanted the
wall, and Schumer wanted Amnesty. You can imagine how well that
conversation went.
This entire thing is just so silly. The government will eventually
get funded, but until that happens we’re going to be forced to watch
grown men and women act like children, arguing for things they know
they probably don’t have any chance of actually getting. Will the
wall get funded?
Anything is possible, but I have my doubts. Will DACA become law?
Let’s not forget that Obama had to write an executive order,
specifically because he knew both parties wouldn’t be able to
successfully vote on it.
One side WILL eventually blink, but – the question is – how long is
this going to take? If this stretches through the week, we’re going
to get dangerously close to this affecting our men and women in
uniform. MIlitary families can’t miss a paycheck. We already pay
them next to nothing for what they do. Now, the soldiers risking
their lives in combat zones will also have to worry about paying
their bills back home.
Both sides are to blame here. Both sides are using military families
as a pawn to argue for the highly improbable. You’d think military
families would be off limits in this power play between overgrown
children, but they’re more than willing to play that card. One
Democrat actually tried. Here’s Senator Claire McCaskill on the
Senate floor, pleading for an amendment to keep paychecks going to
the military:

You’d think Republicans would jump at this and take it. Here’s Mitch McConnell’s response:
https://youtu.be/3sQ0UySKYKM
The turtle has spoken. Both sides are to blame here, and neither one
seems to really care about the military. End this stupidity. Get
back to doing whatever it is you guys do. You know, having super
cool lunches at the Capital Grille, or whatever. Your arrogance and
stupidity has consequences.
3) N.H.S. Crisis
Great Britain’s government health care system is falling apart.
That is not a conservative talking point. The New York Times
reported on it this week, with the headline “Britain’s National
Health Service in Crisis.”
The head of Britain’s N.H.S. warned that the system is overwhelmed.
Last year he requested four billion pounds in additional funding. He
only got 1.6 billion. Also last year, 10,000 nurses quit.
The crazy thing about this New York Times report is that all the
things conservatives criticize about socialized medicine, all the
reasons we say it’s a bad idea and unsustainable, are actually
happening. And the New York Times actually wrote about it!
It’s the kind of worst-case scenario stuff that the Left makes fun
of the Right for talking about. For example:
Hospital hallways jammed with beds of frail and elderly patients
waiting to be admitted.
Outpatient appointments canceled because there aren’t enough doctors
to meet demand.
Patients waiting over 12 hours in emergency rooms before receiving
care.
Undergraduate medical students being asked to volunteer to help ease
the crush of patients.
Two weeks ago, hospitals were ordered to postpone all nonurgent
surgeries until the end of the month. Many British hospitals also
declared “black alerts,” meaning they cannot meet patient demand. On
Twitter, British doctors described their overcrowded hospitals as
“third world conditions” forcing them to practice “battlefield
medicine.”
The N.H.S. director warned that the patient waiting list will grow
to five million people by 2021, the highest number ever.
If this stuff wasn’t in the New York Times, no one on the Left would
believe it coming from me.
A British construction worker learned from the news about the latest
round of thousands of postponed surgeries. He said, “If I receive a notification, it will be the third time my operation is postponed.
This is a disgrace. We injure ourselves while working to pay our
taxes, and the government just leaves us to suffer.”
Are you listening, America? Still interested in that Bernie Sanders
government healthcare plan?

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
