White Male Alabama Abortion

Below is an interesting picture. All the people on the right voted for the most restrictive abortion bill in the country with no exceptions for incest or rape. Doctors who perform abortions will serve 90 years and anyone who drives a woman to get an abortion in or out of state will be charged with Accessory to Murder.  I kid you not! Courtesy of Alabama.

Notice they are ALL white male, welcome to the Handmaidens Tale.

Trump Insider Trading

When are we going to open up our eyes to the biggest Insider Trading event that Trump does  right in front of us. The China talks on? The Dow goes  up. China talks off?  The Dow goes  down.  Some people are making a fortune off Trump  insider trading and right in front of our face. Trump decides what to do with the Dow on his own every day and throws a bone to his buddies.

Life in Prison for abortion and miscarriage

Georgia bill HB 481 is called  The Fetal heartbeat bill which will not allow women to have an abortion after a heartbeat is detected which is about six weeks but it gets worse much worse. The Handmaidens Tale has become a reality, Women who have an abortion or seek to have a  abortion  or use abortion pharmaceuticals, or miscarry  will now face life in prison

HB 481 would also have consequences for women who get abortions from doctors or miscarry. 

A woman who seeks out an illegal abortion from a health care provider would be a party to murder, subject to life in prison.

 And a woman who miscarries because of her own conduct—say, using drugs while pregnant—would be liable for second-degree murder, punishable by 10 to 30 years’ imprisonment. 

 Prosecutors may interrogate women who miscarry to determine whether they can be held responsible; if they find evidence of culpability, they may charge, detain, and try these women for the death of their fetuses.

Even women who seek lawful abortions out of state may not escape punishment. If a Georgia resident plans to travel elsewhere to obtain an abortion, she may be charged with conspiracy to commit murder, punishable by 10 years’ imprisonment. An individual who helps a woman plan her trip to get an out-of-state abortion, or transports her to the clinic, may also be charged with conspiracy. These individuals, after all, are “conspiring” to end of the life of a “person” with “full legal recognition” under Georgia law.

Joe Biden my Endorsement

At this time I have picked Joe Biden as my preference for President for this reason; after all the deconstruction of this country under the Trump administration I believe  Joe Biden will have the skills and knowledge to put it back together. He knows how the foundation was built and he is the only candidate that I feel can get it done at this point.

My Aunt Stella 98 Today! Happy B Day

My Aunt Stella was a feminist before her time!  She was one of the first women to get a science scholarship from the University of California when she was living room in a small mining town in Drumheller  Canada.

She then moved to Pacific Palisades in California where I visited her.

She got her Masters of Science when it was unheard of for women to achieve that.

And now at 97 she is as smart as a whip has no advice for aging and   loves me very much. Hope I get those genes!

Happy Birthday Aunt Stella

I APOLOGIZE President Trump

I'm a loyal Democrat and I APOLOGIZE to all Trump supporters, his cabinet and TRUMP himself. I was  led down a garden path and brainwashed into thinking Collusion was true. I apologize.

NOT!!!

CNN and MSNBC Wasted my Time

Instead of focusing of immigration, children in cages, the environment the Liberal Media  WASTED MY TIME on this Mueller thing. Stop following Trumps tweets and give a S*** about what's really going on with this country

Once again a sick demented individual born without soul tortures an endangered species. Find him. Get him. Shoot him 74 times with his baby in his  arms and leave him to die... his idea not mine. 

 How's that for "an eye for an eye".

By BINSAR BAKKARA and NINIEK KARMINI, Associated Press

SIBOLANGIT, INDONESIA — An orangutan mother has been blinded after being shot with at least 74 air gun pellets on Indonesia's Sumatra island, where threats to the endangered species have increased as the palm oil and paper industries shrink its jungle habitat

An X-ray showed at least 74 air gun pellets in her body, including four in her left eye and two in the right, said veterinarian Yenny Saraswati with the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation ProgramThe great ape, named "Hope" by her rescuers, also had several wounds believed to have been caused by sharp objects, she said Monday. Hope also was recovering from surgery to repair a broken collarbone.

Villagers spotted the severely wounded orangutan in a farm in Aceh province's Subulussalam district last week with her month-old baby, which was critically malnourished, said Sapto Aji Prabowo, who heads the Aceh provincial conservation agency.

The baby died as rescuers rushed the pair to a clinic in neighboring North Sumatra province's Sibolangit district.

Senior Dogs Rock

I have always adopted senior dogs and they are the most amazing friends I've ever had. 

 Top 10 reasons to adopt a senior dog:

 1. Older dogs are house-trained. You won’t have to go through the difficult stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners and mopping/cleaning up after accidents.

 2. Older dogs are not teething puppies, and won’t chew your shoes and furniture while growing up.

 3. Older dogs can focus well because they’ve mellowed. Therefore, they learn quickly.

 4. Older dogs have learned what “no” means. If they hadn’t learned it, they wouldn’t have 
gotten to be “older” dogs.

 5. Older dogs settle in easily, because they’ve learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.

 6. Older dogs are good at giving love, once they get into their new, loving home. They are grateful for the second chance they’ve been given.

 7. What You See Is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape and personality. Puppies can grow up to be quite different from what they seemed at first.

 8. Older dogs are instant companions – ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do.

 9. Older dogs leave you time for yourself because they don’t make the kinds of demands on your time and attention that puppies and young dogs do.

 10. Older dogs let you get a good night’s sleep because they’re accustomed to human schedules and don’t generally need nighttime feedings, comforting, or bathroom breaks.

Meet that drumstick

I believe that you should know where the meat you eat was slaughtered and where it came from   (even better if you do it yourself). That day has arrived. Trackers are being put in live chickens so that you can name and follow then from birth to your plate.

Goodbye horrors on factory farms!

Shoppers are willing to pay a premium for ingredients that are cage-free, organic or wild caught. But how do you really know if the chicken you are eating spent its life happily pecking for corn or if your blackberries were grown locally and are pesticide free?

Simple. Put a tracking device on it.

It's not as absurd as it sounds, says Robyn Metcalfe, a food historian who teaches at the University of Texas at Austin. A GPS tracker strapped to the leg of a chicken, says Metcalfe, means "that people who potentially will buy that chicken will know every step that that chicken has taken."

ZhongAn Online, a Chinese insurance company, has already outfitted more than a 100,000 chickens with trackers. The sensors upload information, such as how much exercise each chicken gets and what it ate. The company says the technology will be on 2,500 farms in China by next year.

They are also working on facial-recognition technology so that consumers can one day make sure the organic chicken they saw on the farm is the same one that ends up on their plate.

Next  up?

What do I do my husband is depressed?

Often I get letters for advice advice but  I know very little about so much I tend not to answer but this one was kind of fun, 

Here's the question

What can the wife of a man with bipolar do to help him. He has struggled (never accepted or managed) for 50 years, with the disease. As a friend, high school classmate, and wife of 20 years, I struggle with him. The cycle is ALWAYS the same… Depression, to the point of becoming suicidal, get to a hospital/doctor for meds and counseling, regain functionality, feel he doesn’t need the meds, so he stops, and plummets to the deepest, darkest depression, worse than the last time. Never held a job more than parttime for about 5  years he refuses to accept/own the illness and “fights” the information I share from your site with him. I think the information is right on point. He’s 68 years old. What can I do? What can I expect from him? Now, he sleeps 24/7, refuses to eat. I schedule Dr appointments, but he refuses to go. No personal hygiene practices (one time in the past, he went 8 months without shower or brushing teeth. Right now, we’re going on three weeks.) We are Christians and surrounded by genuinely unselfish, loving, supportive friends/family. What can I do? Thank you so much!!

Here's my answer

Get him involuntary committed and refuse to take him back unless he agrees to treatment and management. This can be an extremely dangerous situation for you and I’m sure you have experienced some violence. In a state like that he probably rejects God as well and consequently other types of energy (darkness) will begin to rule him.

Do not feel a speck of guilt ( he doesn’t) and enjoy your vacation while he is in treatment. If you let him he will take you and everyone around him and suck up your energy like a dry sponge. If you let this happen you will be caught in an endless cycle just like some alcoholics or drug addicts. The attention that they get from involving others in their downward spiral is an addiction in itself.

If I were you I’d file for divorce based on financial and psychological abuse and go on to find someone who will love and cherish and enhance your life unless you too enjoy the drama in which case you are perfect for one another.

GOOD LUCK 

KAY 

Otherwise call 911 and get him out of your house.

Horrible state of the union for animals under Trump

There is no question  the Trump organization is rolling back important and hard fought  animal rights legislation ... but this is not a government that protects those that cannot speak and suffer. Like children and animals.

The impact of federal agencies over the past two years on animal protection has been more negative than positive. Some of the areas where we saw the Trump administration fail include:

The blackout of thousands of Animal Welfare Act and Horse Protection Act inspection and enforcement records from the U.S. Department of Agriculture website, making it harder for Americans to learn which puppy mills, roadside zoos and research facilities, among other enterprises, are failing to comply with animal protection laws. The USDA has also cut back drastically on the number of warnings, official complaints and license revocations it applies to the worst puppy mills and other Animal Welfare Act violators.

Former Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke illegally established the “International Wildlife Conservation Council,” an advisory panel stacked with people who have an interest in killing or importing rare and endangered animals from overseas. The administration also lifted the import ban on Zimbabwe elephant and lion trophies.

Last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service proposed weakening the Endangered Species Act, creating additional roadblocks to securing comprehensive protections for threatened species, and to make the process of removing species from the ESA easier.

The Department of the Interior proposed rolling back an Obama-era regulation that banned some of the worst and most appalling hunting practices on 20 million acres of federal public lands in Alaska, including using artificial light to kill hibernating bears and their cubs, shooting wolf and coyote pups and mothers in their dens, using bait to attract brown and black bears, shooting vulnerable swimming caribou and using dogs to hunt black bears. This, just after Congress revoked similar protections on 76 million acres of National Wildlife Refuge lands in Alaska in 2017.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed Yellowstone-area grizzly bears from the Endangered Species Act, and the Department of Justice committed funds for legal fights in the federal courts to make this administration action permanent.

Can you or your family  handle bumping into a Pirate, sidestepping a  Knight or stumbling upon an  encampment of dancing gypsies flashing  red scarves and jiggling gold bobbles they bought from the Village Vendors -one of hundreds  at your disposal?

Yes? Read on.

I think you might need a candle to light the way.  The Kamikazee Fireflies are out and about.  No worries, make one with your daughter add a little face paint, shoot a couple of rounds with your son, try fencing or crossbow, get lost in a maze a  haunted graveyard or jump on a Fair Ride.

I'm smelling hot fries, sizzling  chocolate dipped bacon and something sweet; cotton candy, pancakes with maple syrup for sure. The deep fried twinkies are by the Chinese food booth  next to the Taco stand, fish and chips to the left.  

Can your kids spell Dragon,  Harry Potter or Time Travel? Game of Thrones perhaps? Pick a themed weekend heck pick two. 

Who's that over there to your right?

 A merchant is making his way through a magical land of wild Wizards, Faires  and Sprites on a carpet of  rainbows. Watch out for the Gremlins!

Where did you say that pot of gold was? I think its down the winding path through the great forest, past  the poets and musicians.  With a little luck you'll find a mischievous  Leprechaun in a moss green suit. He'll guide you to a curious little village to watch a thrilling Joust brought to you by  brave Knights ablaze with silver armor sparking in the sun atop feisty horses.

You can do all of this while your kids loose their minds all decked out in pirates costumes they can wear to the fair.

A little treat pour toi perhaps?

Hey girl,  there's shop that has that cute light blue corsette you secretly want and for you Dude a fab leather vest calls.

I'd budget around $120.00 TOTAL for a family of four- entry, food and treats.  Wee ones are free.

Pub crawl is $29.00. 5 beers 5 pubs 5 stars.

See you there!

Screen time Damages our Kids

A study, from the University of Calgary psychologists and published today in the JAMA journal Pediatrics is right up my alley. 

The technological dark age in which live is causing  developmental challenges for our children. What? Technology does not make us better? Upgrading is not  the answer to the future?  

The jig is up folks. Kids 2-5 years old who engage in more screen time received worse scores in developmental screening tests. The apparent explanation is simple: when a kid is in front of a screen, they’re not talking, walking or playing, the activities during which basic skills are cultivated.

"A lot of the positive stimulation that helps kids with their physical and cognitive development comes from interactions with caregivers,” lead author Sheri Madigan said  in a University of Calgary news release. “When they’re in front of their screens, these important parent-child interactions aren’t happening.”

The paper explains:

When young children are observing screens, they may be missing important opportunities to practice and master interpersonal, motor, and communication skills. For example, when children are observing screens without an interactive or physical component, they are more sedentary and, therefore, not practicing gross motor skills, such as walking and running, which in turn may delay development in this area. Screens can also disrupt interactions with caregivers by limiting opportunities for verbal and nonverbal social exchanges, which are essential for fostering optimal growth and development.

 So let's turn off our phones, take them from our toddlers hands and lead the wee ones back to the garden before AI paves over paradise and puts up a parking lot.

If we don't step in and take some responsibility for allowing technology to overrule our life force,  children will never know that paradise IS earth and that we are here to tend.

Technology is  an evolutionary nuclear bomb in the existence of mankind. 

Steven Hawkins agrees.

 Poof! 

Bravo Calgary!! 

CNN stop with Trump already

Last night was  the first time I turned off CNN.

Hey guys there are other things going on in the world. Did you forget about the kids at the border?   The whales,  pollution in the air, government shutdown, parks? 

Let Trump alone stop speculating about the Mueller report you'll see it in full soon enough  and talk about what's really going on with the country.

Redundant and boring you have become.

Stop Japan from killing whales

Call the Japanese Embassy , call your local politician yell, post, twitter do anything to make a fuss we must stop Japan from resuming whaling.

Japan this week formalized its withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission in a letter, setting the stage for its resumed killing of hundreds of whales in its coastal waters and perhaps elsewhere as well. Japan announced its departure from the IWC last month, and with the receipt of its official communique on the withdrawal, the clock now starts ticking on a one-month period during which other countries can indicate if they too wish to leave the IWC.

As a veteran of IWC politics for more than two decades, I have come to view Japan's departure as a victory of rhetoric over reason. The IWC, established in 1946 when it became clear that whale populations were in trouble, struggled to try to make whaling sustainable for many decades before announcing the global ban on commercial whaling in 1982. Japan, however, never accepted this moratorium and, for many years, continued to kill whales using the 'scientific research' loophole in the 1946 convention text — a loophole that allows countries to allocate a quota to themselves to take whales for research. The loophole was created in an era when it was perceived that countries might need to investigate some urgent matter by studying the bodies of whales post-mortem.

But science has come a long way since then, and the IWC's intention clearly was not to create a mechanism for Japan or any nation to hide or obscure the reality of a long-term commercial whaling program and catch.

In addition to its continued whaling, Japan has also tried repeatedly to overturn the moratorium. Its attacks have at times been subtle – for example trying to have new forms of whaling recognized. Other times, not so much. At the last meeting of the IWC in September Japan advanced a bundle of proposals that would have killed the global ban altogether.

Japan would like to present itself as the wounded party, forced to leave the IWC because its reasonable requests are not being listened to. But the fact is, commercial whaling is completely unnecessary; in fact, there is no pressing economic need for it and there is plummeting demand for whale meat in Japan itself.

Just as importantly, there is no way to kill whales humanely at sea, and there is no accepted international framework for the management of whaling in place. Moreover a majority of IWC member countries do not support killing whales for commercial purposes. Whales belong to no one country, they are typically highly mobile and many species are migratory. This is why the IWC's jurisdiction has always covered all waters, right up to the shoreline.

Japan's abandonment of the IWC is a calculated move that flaunts the rule of law that should bind nations as a matter of course in their relations. It's highly irresponsible behavior, and it is, in the end, simply beneath the dignity and honor of an otherwise important and conscientious ally to many in the community of nations. That's certainly our view, and it's the one we'll work to impress upon the remaining member nations of the IWC and other relevant bodies. We cannot allow one country to step outside of the IWC and recommence commercial whaling. If other countries, following Japan's example, start to do likewise, then we may see a return to the lawless days of previous centuries and the world's whales will suffer.

Saltwater Brewery saves millions of sea creatures

GET RID OF SIX PACK PLASTIC RINGS ?

Saltwater Brewery in Delray beach did just that and get this ... made them edible for sea creatures. This is stunning amazing news.

Budweiser watch and learn and if your reading this contact your favorite brewery and let them know this is possible.

Millions of seabirds, fish, and turtles eat or get trapped in six pack plastic rings and when they are eaten by larger species the plastic transferes into the hosts  system killing them as well.

Saltwater Brewery in Delray Beach is changing how it manufactures six-pack packaging rings to make them more eco-friendly. These new rings are constructed from barley and wheat ribbons saved from the brewing process. These 100 percent biodegradable and edible rings, known as E6PR, can be safely eaten by animals that come in contact with them.

They will be the only beer I will EVER drink.  Let's hope everyone else follows suit.

Congratulations, hats off and Blessings to the Delray Saltwater brewing company.

Rashida Tlaib potty mouth

Here's why Rashida Tlaib is psychologically unfit to represent her constituents and other democratics in the house ..
mainly me.

And this is why I am so determined to call her out. I will be brutal.

Since the Democrats are horrified  and shocked at Trumps language let's examine our own hypocrisy. I won't stand for this. If we hold others to the task we MUST hold ourselves.

#1. First let's look at the word itself.  If a man called a woman a motherfucker he would be verbally abusive.  Rashida Tlaib is abusive.

#2. She has used the word sassy to explain her behavior.  Sassy is a word which refers to a  little girls attitude. The real definition according to Websters  dictionary is lively, bold, and full of spirit it does not cover language it covers attitude. The word motherfucker is not sassy?  It's crude ignorant and abusive.
Am I supposed to tell my daughter that it's OK to use the word motherfucker because it's sassy ?

#3. Look at the timing of her motherfucker comment. She picked a  day after so much good will and so many historic firsts never before seen in the United States Government. Why did she not give us a day or two to enjoy the victories?

When people are inappropriate and unable to understand context they are psychologically unwell. That makes Rashida Tlaib a saboteur.

#4. She assumes that the people who voted for her accept this behavior. If  so why didn't she exhibit such language  during her campaign and really let the voters decide.  That makes her
insincere.

#5.  And here's what got me. She is unable to understand that her position makes her a role model and her words matter ( where have we heard that before). That makes her unfit.

#6. And this is what makes her dangerous and unwell. Instead of understanding that using the word motherfucker not only reflects badly on herself it reflects badly on her party, her voters and others that  look up to her she digs in her heels. And in that context she is unable to apologize. That points to character. A person who is unable to grasp the damage that their behavior had done and refuses to apologize is dangerous. She needs to resign for the greater good or be impeached.

#6. She has put her colleagues in a terrible position to look no better than the Republicans who blame Obama for everything by forcing them to make an equivalency to the Presidents use of crude language. That makes her manipulative and subversive.

#7. When Democrats were asked what they thought about the language they said, " well I would not have said that". They should have said it is unacceptable and  hypocritical and refuse to condone it.  She has made others uncomfortable and opened them up to criticism. That makes her unpredictable and dangerous.

#7. Her attitude is scarry. When interviewed she seemed to enjoy the attention with a f**-you position that was creepy and scarry. When a person digs in their heels and refuses to self'reflect they will make incorrect decisions and not to change their minds even when all facts point to the truth.  Who do we know that does that? There is nothing more threatening  then a person in power who is unable to change their mind. And that makes her unfit and a megolomaniac.

Rashida Tlaib is an undercover deep state  Repulican working to hurt and shame Democratic voters. And if she won't apologize to us how can't we expect us to trust her to vote for our best interests.

Impeach Rashida Tlaib an abusive,psychologically unfit saboteur.  Call her office email her. Let's see how much more  she gets-off in the push back. When we know that we can make a final  decision to remove her from office.

And you know if I took time away  from my book to write this I'm pissed.

Finally and most importantly. I don't care who you are if you call someone a motherfucker you need to apologize.

Unfortunately that points to the parents that raised her and if she is willing to throw them under the bus we should all watch out.
