Where there's a will, there's a way  The Trump administration announced Friday that it intends to bar taxpayer-funded family planning centers from promoting or perfoming abortions or referring women to other clinics for them -- a move that is likely to yank money from groups like Planned Parenthood. The Department of Health and Human Services announced that the Title X program, a family-planning grant that helps approximately four million women a year, would be subject to a revision of regulations -- including one that “prohibits the use of Title X funds to perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.” Title X costs approximately $260-million-a-year and is intended to pay for birth control, STD-testing, infertility testing and other screening services. The release by HHS notes that from the beginning of the fund in 1970, Congress “was clear that Title X funds cannot be used to support abortion.” “Consistent with the statutory requirement that no funds may be expended where abortion is a method of family planning, this regulation no longer requires, and affirmatively prohibits, referral for abortion as a method of family planning,” it says. The new regulation “permits, but no longer requires, nondirective pregnancy counseling, including nondirective counseling on abortion.” The final regulation was published Friday on an HHS website. It's not official until it appears in the Federal Register and the department said there could be "minor editorial changes." The move is likely to have support from President Trump’s conservative base, while enraging pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood. The Washington Examiner reports that Planned Parenthood covers roughly 40 percent of people who use Title X to get medical services and receives between $50-60 million from Title X. Republicans have long called for Planned Parenthood to be defunded, and while this move does not achieve that, it will be seen as a significant step toward that goal by conservatives. The rule meanwhile is likely to see a court challenge from groups opposed to the move. "This rule intentionally strikes at the heart of the patient-provider relationship, inserting political ideology into a family planning visit, which will frustrate and ultimately discourage patients from seeking the health care they need," Clare Coleman, head of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association, said in a statement. https://www.foxnews.com/politi...ily-planning-clinics | |||

DEM senators Trump Derangement Syndrome https://www.realclearpolitics....p_of_tds_139554.html Are Senate Democrats in the Grip of TDS? In just two years, President Trump's 53 District Court appointees received four times as many negative confirmation votes as the 2,459 nominees confirmed in the previous century combined The Senate must end debate on a nomination before voting on confirmation. Senate Rule 22 provides for a formal process to end debate if informal cooperation doesn’t work. From 1949, when Rule 22 could apply to nominations, to 2016, the Senate resorted to the Rule 22 process to end debate just six times during newly elected presidents’ first two years. In President Trump’s first two years, Democrats forced the Senate to use the time-consuming process 48 times. | |||

This is the kind of stuff that tells me that they care not for the Republic or the rule of law. This is the kind of stuff where, when my mom says something like, "I just wish Republican statesman were still around." I reply, "Nuts!" Between the media and the insidious coniving uni-party in D.C. there isn't a shread of integrity or desire to prolong everything the Republic stands for. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L.

“The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate. The broad swath of the Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the burning of an American flag in Tehran…” Much more follows. https://mol.im/a/6737685 Serious about crackers | |||

“President Donald Trump welcomed two of his most popular supporters - internet stars Diamond and Silk - to the White House on Saturday. ‘Enjoyed chatting with our great President,’ the duo tweeted on Saturday. ‘We love & support the [president] because he loves and supports all Americans. ‘He’s done more for black people than any other President in our lifetime. ‘There are those that write history but President Trump is making history.’ The image attached to the tweet shows Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk) standing next to Trump in the Oval Office on Saturday. https://mol.im/a/6738871 Serious about crackers | |||

Ever since Trump announced his candidacy, I have been perplexed by the scope and intensity of the attacks on him. The contempt and rage has been beyond the pale. And--why? He is called a sexist, homophobe, racist, but for every charge, no evidence can be brought. And ample evidence for the reverse is abundant. There is no evidence whatsoever, for example, that he is a racist. On the other hand, his record of employing minorities, his personal friends and associates, indicate otherwise. But a few days ago I happened to watch video of the Hajj, the pilgrimage every Muslim is supposed to make in their lifetime. An important part of that is a ritual called "Stoning the Devil." Pilgrims take 70 stones and over the course of ten days throw 7 each day at a stone pillar that represents the devil. Watch video some time. They know the stone is not literally the devil. But most of them scream and rant as they cast their stones. Some weep and howl. We are seeing a form of "stoning the devil" in the leftist attacks on Trump. He might as well be a stone pillar. It doesn't matter what he really is. It is what he represents to them: everything that they are against. It is irrational. It is a pre-medieval religious ritual. It signals one's own virtue as a warrior against evil. It is a catharsis for the guilt one has carried around. It is an act of cleansing. Watch this video for about 10 seconds starting at the :57 second mark, and think of what is happening in our own culture toward Donald Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2gVb3WumLo ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

White House Plans to Re-Assess 'Climate Change' The White House plans to create an ad hoc group of select federal scientists to reassess the government's analysis of climate science and counter its conclusions that the continued burning of fossil fuels is harming the planet, according to three administration officials. The National Security Council initiative would include scientists who question the severity of climate impacts and the extent to which humans contribute to the problem, according to these individuals, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The group would not be subject to the same level of public disclosure as a formal advisory committee. The move would represent the Trump administration's most forceful effort to date to challenge the scientific consensus that greenhouse gas emissions are helping drive global warming and that the world could face dire consequences unless countries curb their carbon output over the next few decades. About time there was some pushback against a scam so patently obvious that a glance at a history book instantly disproves it. And yet the Left, seeking control over our lives at all times and in every way, has pushed this hogwash and, as is their wont, manufactured a "crisis" meant to frighten the children and empty your wallets. While the plan is not finalized, NSC officials said they would take steps to assemble a group of researchers within the government. The group will not be tasked with scrutinizing recent intelligence community assessments of climate change, according to officials familiar with the plan. The National Security Council declined requests to comment on the matter. Good for the NSC. The intelligence community has so thoroughly disgraced itself over the past decade that it needs a thorough housecleaning -- perhaps in Trump's second term, if he can successfully dodge their machinations through re-election. Which means they'll push their agenda even harder over the next years, which is why this National Security Council idea is so welcome. The Left is always whining that they want to have a "conversation" about this or that. Okay, let's have one -- a real one, not a fixed fight -- about "climate change." https://pjmedia.com/trending/w...sess-climate-change/ "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

"Climate Change" may be occurring, but I'm not convinced that humans are driving it. Over the life of the Earth, temperatures have gone up and down several times and most of it when there were no humans on board. I think effort and money would be better spent on researching ways to cope with what is happening than on trying to avoid it. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

And if it is determined to be man made, the most obvious and effective solution is to force the most polluting nations to address the problem. The US has actually made more and larger reductions to CO2 emissions than most countries in the world. China, India and Russia continue to get a pass. If the green element is so concerned about the world, the correct course of action would be to cease trading with countries that have not matched US reductions. Handicapping the economy of a country making reductions is just stupid. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

CO2 is not a pollutant! It is what green plants require as food. Botanists have said that we don't actually have enough of it to properly sustain the plant life we have, and we need more. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Guys, come on. If you want to go off on a tangent and discuss climate change, then start your own thread on the subject. Do not drift this thread, please. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||
