by

There was NO Bowling Green “massacre”.  We are thankful to dedicated professionals in the law enforcement and intelligence communities who PREVENTED such a massacre.[1]

Tell the truth about what happened!

“Alternative Facts” – Maryann Conway

by Leave a Comment

The Atlantic, “One of the many things that is remarkable about the Trump administration is its devotion, even in its first days, to a particular variety of pointless falsehood.”[1]

The Atlantic also shows an amazing shot of almost empty reviewing stands during the Presidents motorcade.[1]

NBC News, “Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Donald Trump, said the White House press secretary gave “alternative facts” when he inaccurately described the inauguration crowd as “the largest ever” during his first appearance before the press this weekend.”[2]

CNN, “This issue started back on Saturday, when the notoriously thin-skinned Trump visited the CIA and, while standing in front of the wall that pays tribute to CIA agents who sacrificed their lives for our nation, bragged about the size of the crowd that had attended his inauguration. Trump, after first trashing the media, told the audience of CIA employees that, “it looked like a million, million and a half people” were standing in the crowd cheering for him.
The only problem with Trump’s statement at the CIA is these pesky things called facts. No one can say with any certainty what the crowd size was, plus objective metrics — such as use of Washington’s mass transit — indicated that Trump’s crowd was much smaller.”[3]

Trump Fires Head of DC National Guard

by Leave a Comment

Long time head of DC’s National Guard has been ousted by the Trump administration right in the middle of the inauguration.

The Washington Post, “The Army general who heads the D.C. National Guard and has an integral part in overseeing the inauguration said Friday that he will be removed from command effective at 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president. Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz’s departure will come in the middle of the presidential ceremony — classified as a national special security event — and while thousands of his troops are deployed to help protect the nation’s capital during an inauguration he has spent months helping to plan. “The timing is extremely unusual,” Schwartz said in an interview Friday morning, confirming a memo announcing his ouster that was obtained by The Washington Post.”[1]

Hobby Lobby’s Push to Deny Birth Control Is All About Controlling Women

by Leave a Comment

The inspiration for Hobby Lobby, and 71 other “religious” corporations, to sue for a religious exemption of the contraception mandate is not about abortion, but about controlling women and inflicting consequences for not adhering to their Puritanical belief that women in their employ, can not, and will not, have sexual relations without paying a heavy price. In fact, the idea of forcing women, on pain of harsh consequences, to adhere to strict religious and moral behavior defined by sententious and severe piety is why fundamentalist Christianity is every bit as harsh as Islamic Sharia Law’s control over women.

Arizona Senator Bob Worsley – Hall of Shame

by Leave a Comment

Arizona Senator Bob Worsley… so why did you vote for this inane law in the first place.  We appreciate you back tracking, but why did you put Arizona through this mess in the first place?

Voted YES, but now wants VETO

Republican Arizona Senator Bob Worsley voted to include discrimination into the State of Arizona laws by voting YES, but now wants the Governor to VETO the legislation.  Why did he vote YES in the first place.  Of course, voting NO would have been the right thing to do in the first place.  This would have avoided the mess you created to the economy of the State of Arizona.  The State doesn’t need legislators to march lock step with the Republican Party and only vote logically when there is an outcry from their constituents.

 Shame on you Republican Senator Bob Worsley!
