As a Catholic I’m of course appalled as liberals babies are just as deserving of life as conservatives children but I’ll say this for them, given they are deeply in bed with the greens who believe humans are a danger to the earth this type of thing is one of the few areas where their actions are consistent with their beliefs.
Update: This also explains their dependance of that Ghastly Tom Hagen math as their Islamic supporters don’t buy into this.
Captain Mullins: [Forgetting he’s holding the lie detector handle] That’s enough! Break it up! [to Shemp] Now then, what were you doing at eleven o’clock last night?
Shemp:I don’t know. What were you doing at eleven o’clock?
Captain Mullins: Uh, I was at a lodge meeting. [The lie detector beeps very loudly, startling the Stooges the pen travels wildly in a crooked line then the machine suddenly stops]
Officer operating the lie Detector: That last question seems to have broken the machine, captain.

This story is slightly old but If you want to find something that perfectly encapsulates what the Democrat party has become, this is it. Apparently there has been a problem with Truthfulness among people testifying before NH government committees. Folks have been saying one thing and then it’s been revealed to be, as the committee member put it “infactual”. Fortunately under NH law there is a solution. Any State Senator or Rep receiving testimony on a committee member can do what Rep Sandra Panek did here:
Pursuant to RSA 1414, which states that any Senator or Representative, while acting as a member of the committee, of the legislature, may admininster an oath to any person who may be examined before such a committee. I would like to require an oath of the witness and all witnesses testifying before this committee. The testimony we are taking is concerning a very serious subject matter, and we must ensure truthfulness.
Now you might think members of the legislature would welcome truthful testimony being made before them, but apparently not if they are Democrats who immediately objected noting that they have not seen this happen in the nearly two decades on such a committee.
I presume this is why the issue of “infactual” testimony has become a problem and if there is one thing that we’ve seen from our friends on the left over and over from crossing the border illegally to blocking highways is a complete rejection of the idea that actions might have consequences.
11th Doctor:You know, since we’re talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable. The Tardis (In Idris’ body): And you have? 11th Doctor: You didn’t always take me where I wanted to go. The Tardis (In Idris’ body): No, but I always took you where you needed to go.
This morning I saw something on twitter that jumped out at me. The story of a Nebraska state Senator, an Irish Catholic Democrat who finally decided to join the side he was on when it was made clear to him by the party he had stuck with all his life that if he was pro-life he was not welcome or to be supported:
Nebraska State Senator Mike McDonnell has crossed party lines and today became a Republican.
It instantly brought back memories of my first CPAC back when it was held in DC proper. I had gone to McDonalds because it was so much cheaper than the food inside (wonder if it still is today) and I hit me to interview the transit workers at the subway spot who were Democrats and Obama Supporters as they were completely different than the folks I was interviewing inside
I asked them why they were Democrats and one of them turned the tables on me and asked why I was a republican so I turned the camera on myself and gave an answer that sounded a lot like Mike McDonnell’s (about 58 seconds in)
It hit me that all of these videos had so few views now after having so many before on Youtube before I was banned and that I had gone from nearly 1000 subscribers and being ready to finally monetize the platform (I was banned when I reached 998 subscribers) to just a few dozen on Rumble with so much of my work that I did over the course of 13 years now unseen.
Of course this was the time when I was doing subscriber commentaries (that’s what Youtube used to ban me fyi) and I found one of them that I had put out as a “free” commentary to attract subscribers and is one of the better things I did.
Ah the days before my front left implant fell out
The commentary is on responsibility and how we’ve become a society of Narcissists (and BOY have we gotten worse since) but what really hit me was the Tip Jar pitch and the irony of the results.
At that time I was rising and making my pitch to rise higher but as I listed to that commentary again it occurred to me that for all the moaning I’ve done over the loss of my shift and job worries of today, if that pitch had been successful, if I had a large following and had been able to make a good living as a commentator covering events and interviewing people I would most certainly be in jail today.
You see if I had made it I would of course have gone to cover the Trump rally on January 6th 2021 covered the speeches and interviewing people there. I would have shot footages of the marches etc and when the people went into the capital I certainly would have gone in interviewing both protesters and police, giving commentary and reporting on events as they happened and uploaded all of it & written about it to inform my readers.
Thus I would have most assuredly been arrested, charged and convicted of whatever this administration and those who control is deemed to accuse of me of. I’d be rotting in a jail in DC awaiting the return of America to the days before political foes were considered enemies of the state, DaWife would likely have lost the house, with my sons taking care of her the best they could, unless they had come with me as assistants and met the same fate as Karl Rove nodded his head in approval.
Life turns on little things like then so when I finish my taxes today and look at the various struggles I have to deal with I’m reminded of what faith is.
Faith isn’t believing that God exists. This is a basic fact, faith is having trust that God knows what he is doing even when he hasn’t clued you in.
This week has been a tough one at work. For many people Tuesday was their last day. Last night was the last day for others and today will be the last day for many people I’ve worked with or for over the last six years who were either let go or had to leave because they can’t work a morning shift.
There are a ton of Hispanic people leaving many in management positions who had worked their way up since coming to this country though solid effort and I suspect that they are going to express their displeasure at losing their position at the ballot box when the time comes.
But I want to focus on two ladies in particular, both are young one married under 4 years with one son under two and other other married a bit longer with several children. Both were management and got separation packages that will hold them over for a few months at least.
I spoke to each of them and unlike several of the men who are rushing to get interviews they have decided they are going to spend their newly free time at home with their kids.
This is likely a good move, particularly for the younger mother. You can always get another job even if it’s one below the standard of living that you’re used to but the time with your children when they’re young comes once and the ability to not only share it with your children but to shape them in the image you wish rather than where today’s society wants to lead them is the single most important task a parent has.
Of course once the severance is used up decisions will have to be made but it will be interesting to discover if the benefits of a 2nd solid full time pay in the house trumps domestic life once they get a taste of it. Will need force them back into the workforce, will the economy take a turn after the election and they find themselves suddenly solicited by the company that let them go?
Or will they decide that the value and rewards of being a mother at home for their children is worth the financial sacrifices necessary to continue in that role?
I likely won’t know what choice they will make as I rarely see them outside of work, but it would be fun and fascinating to find out.
