Comprehensive, evidence based sex education in school and access to birth control stop most unwanted pregnancies from happening in the first place. Support for mothers and families who want to have babies (including access to healthcare, family leave , subsidized childcare, child tax credits, safety nets for struggling families etc) so they don't feel the need to abort for financial reasons.If conservatives in the US are truly worried about lowering abortion rates, they would be fighting for these things rather than focusing on women's healthcare choices. less

A couple of days ago Trump moved up the dead line to 10 or 12 days to agree to a ceasefire – or else.
In the past I had to collect a few debts.
I didn’t tell people they had 10 or 12 days to give me the money or else. They had 10 days – that’s it – no wiggle room .
So I think Trump would of looked more serious if he he said – you got 10 days that’s it.
Cheers!

The cart will follow Trump around on the golf coarse in case there is an assassination attempt.
The flaw I see is if there is an assassination attempt – Trump might make himself a bigger target by standing up and waving his arm in the air like he did when he got shot in the ear. Cheers!

According to Trump and his administration, in return for a reduction in tariffs, Japan would invest $550 billion in certain U.S. sectors and give the United States 90 percent of the profits.
Trump said - “I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history, with Japan,”
But Japanese officials don’t agree. Cheers!

It sounds good - but I have to wonder what Trump has in mind when he say’s “other facilities”. Hitler had homeless people moved to “other facilities” but back then they called them considerations camps. Cheers!

The birthday card had a doodle of a naked girl on it. Trump claims it couldn't be him because he doesn't doodle. But Trump did do a lot of doodling in the early 2000’s.
So maybe when people start showing Trump those doodles and say – I thought you don’t doodle. Trump could say – Well I don’t doodle – I am a serious artist and like Vincent van Gogh - I cut my ear off to prove it. Cheers and happy weekend!

He resonantly said the inquiry into the sex offender Jeffery Epstein is boring and of interest only to bad people.
It has become an interest of people like MTG and the Speaker of the House – I think they are bad people so Trump is half right. It has also become an interest of some good people. And the number of people (good or bad) is growing everyday. Cheers!

I have all ways had squirrel instincts and stocked up food for winter. Last year I stocked up for winter and then when the dock workers went on strike - I stocked up some more.
Then Trump got back in the WH and started his tariff BS so I stocked up some more. Shortly after that the buy Canadian stickers on the store shelf's started to appear. Then as consumers started buying more Canadian food products the demand for US products shrank.
So the stores sold the last of their US products and started putting stickers on the empty shelf spaces that say – Coming Soon New Exciting Product - and you can bet those new exciting products won’t be from the US.
A very wise man once said – I’m sorry that it turned out this way but someone’s got to lose - it’s just the nature of the business - its the tariff blues. Actually he said smugglers not tariffs and that wise man was – Glenn Fry.

(Who knew that “corporate sabotage” is codified as a criminal offense in some jurisdictions? Grrrrrr.)
I have been wearing short sleeve Hawaiian print shirts with cargo shorts and hiking boots – looks pretty darn cool if I do say so my self.

A year ago I stopped buying eggs and butter after I was really really brave and got a blood test and the doctor told me my cholesterol was a bit high.
But the other day I thought I would treat my self so I put a pound of butter in my shopping cart. After walking around the store I figured I should put the butter back. There was a lady by the butter cooler and I figured if she saw me putting the butter back she might think I was poor and couldn’t afford the butter. So I said I better put this back because I’m getting fat.
She said ya that stuff will do it then when I was walking away she said – and by the way you’re not fat.
It felt pretty good so I think I’m going start making fishing for compliments part of my shopping routine.
Put some butter in my cart – put it back – tell people it is because I’m getting fat – then hope they give me a compliment. Cheers! less

Yesterday Trump pulled a TACO and extended his tariff threat until August. And I’m sure he will keep pulling a TACO for years to come.
Another good slogan might be – We Will remember your Name.
Yesterday Trump forgot the name of Japan’s PM – so he called him MR. Japan. Cheers!

Garrett Reisman, a former astronaut who flew on the Discovery, also voiced his concerns about the transfer, calling it “ludicrous and unnecessary. I would much rather see that money invested in NASA’s science program”.
I don’t think it is all about bringing the shuttal home (like the bill claims) I think it is all about taking away from blue states and giving to red states.
