US Surgeon General Steps up for Fellow
Passenger on Airplane
Someone asked if there was a doctor on board the
flight. Turned out there was.
No details on what it was all about although the
report is that the unnamed patient is doing just fine.
White House
Announces Trump Is Donating His Presidential Salary To Veterans
Affairs
And the Lame Street
Media either won’t report it or will belittle it – like some
posters here.
President Donald
Trump donates his salary every quarter to a charitable cause, and
this quarter, POTUS will be giving his salary to the Department of
Veterans Affairs to specifically support their caregiver programs.
The White House
announced the donation at Thursday’s press briefing.
“These brave men
and women have given so much to our country,” Sanders said. “In
keeping with his campaign pledge, the president donates his salary on
a quarterly basis to further important projects. Today, the president
is proud to donate his 2018 first quarter salary to the department of
veterans affairs to support their caregiver programs.”
Acting Secretary of
the VA, Robert Wilkie, accepted the check, saying, “The president’s
gift underscores his promise to do all that he can for veterans,
which includes supporting those who care for our veterans, not just
those of us at VA, but the husbands, the wives, the families and the
community caregivers who are out there, day in and day out, making
life easier for those who have borne the battle.”
Wilkie added that he
is “deeply thankful to President Trump for giving me the
opportunity to support our veterans and his generosity in supporting
them.”
“I know how much
this means to America’s veterans.”
GOP Senators Have
Fix to End Logjam — Work More Hours!
Seems
16 of them are willing to give up the time they usually spend
smooching their constituents.
Sen.
David Perdue (R-Ga.) organized a news conference Tuesday to highlight
a letter he and 15 other Republicans sent to McConnell. They want
McConnell to keep the Senate in session on nights and weekends —
and even cancel the August recess, if necessary — to break
Democratic obstructionism.
IN
addition to Perdue, also signing the letter were Senate Republicans
Joni Ernst (Iowa), James Lankford (Okla.), Ted Cruz (Tex.), Dean
Heller (Nev.), Mike Lee (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Bill Cassidy
(La.), Roger Wicker (Miss.), Steve Daines (Mont.), Deb Fischer
(Neb.), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Thom Tillis (N.C.),
John Neely Kennedy (La.) and Mike Rounds (S.D.).
Will
McConnell go along with it? The Dims will scream and holler as
they’re vulnerable in the mid-terms. 26 of them are facing
re-election and need to spend time – and lots of $$$ - back home.
Losing just a few seats could really swing the Senaye to a bigger GOP
majority.
Mitch McConnell Is
Just a Clerk at Heart
I
loved the context of this article as I’ve never seen a better
description of the Senate Majority Leader.
Mealy–mouthed,
multi–chins like McConnell are the reason Trump won in the first
place. Their continued failure to grasp that fact explains the
trouble they face in November
One
must admit this is nothing but a hit piece against the GOP and the
president, but it does bring up some good points @

AG Sessions May be
Washington’s Slyest Fox
I’ve
seen comment after comment calling for him to either resign or the
president to fire him. So, why doesn’t the president give him his
walking papers?
Seems
he’s doing a whole lot of things the president wants him to.
Here’s
Why Jeff Sessions May Be Washington’s Slyest Fox has a whole
lot of reasons to keep him.
Let
Jeff Sessions Do His Job and Protect the Homeland also has some
specific reasons, most about immigration and efforts to speed up the
general process.
The
AG’s self-described “zero-tolerance” approach is very exciting
for pro-enforcement advocates and is sure to have huge deterrence
effects. It could also be the move that cements Sessions as the
foremost immigration policy leader in President Trump’s Cabinet,
just as he was in the Senate. Or so it should..
He’s
being a great immigration officer and we should at least let him do
his job at that.
Mueller’s Tour in ‘Nam
Turns out that, despite his family background,
Butterbar Mueller actually served as a Marine platoon leader and
showed courage, receiving a Purple Heart and the respect of those who
served under him.
Mueller, among others, was awarded the Bronze
Star for bravery; his troops say it was well-earned, along with their
respect. “The minute the shit hit the fan, he was there,” one
said. “He performed remarkably. After that night, there were a lot
of guys who would’ve walked through walls for him.”
Unlike Kerry with whom he played lacrosse and
hockey at St Paul’s Prep School, he actually got down in the mud
with his troops.
Maybe all the negative hype about him is a bit
overdone. I guess we’ll just have to wait to see his final report
to the Deputy AG.

Maxine Waters Says
That Trump’s Hotel Is Unconstitutional, “Very Criminal Looking”…
MSNBC
host Chris Hayes asked, “Is it problematic to you that the
president and the Republican Party use and promote this hotel, the
president is so clearly benefiting from?”
“Well,
absolutely,” Waters said. “And you know, questions have been
raised about that. And I think one organization that looks into this
kind of thing….have, you know, asked for investigations into
whether or not there’s a violation of the Constitution, or whether
or not laws have been broken because obviously, it appears that the
president is, you know, helping to direct business and he’s making
money on it, and that there are those who are coming from foreign
countries who are glad to comply with this request to stay at the
hotel because they think they’re going to create some favor with
him.”
“And
so, it’s all very criminal looking,” Waters added.

Israel Sends
Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Strip, Hamas Turns It Away
To
the Israel haters, this article comes with plenty of links and
backup.
Two
large Israeli trucks filled with humanitarian aid supplies were
turned away by Hamas at the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post
reported. The aid was intended to provide relief for medical
shortages following days of violent conflict on the Israel-Gaza
border.
“In
addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into
Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included
more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins,
20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000
disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages,” The Jerusalem Post
reported.

Almost half of US
families can't afford basics like rent and food
This
CNN video and article whines
about how nearly 51 million American households are on the verge of
starvation and homelessness.
Many
of these folks are the nation's child care workers, home health
aides, office assistants and store clerks, who work low-paying jobs
and have little savings, the study noted. Some 66% of jobs in the US
pay less than $20 an hour.
$800
per week before taxes. I guess that’s why Pelosi called the recent
tax cuts bread crumbs. When one only makes $3,200 per month before
taxes, a hundred or so more in the pocket just doesn’t seem like
much to someone who lives in a million dollar plus compound, has lots
of servants [making their miserable wages] and rides around in limos
and private jets.
Notice
that the CNN experts don’t suggest anything to improve it.

Man Who Created Show
About Sexual Harassment Suspended For Sexual Harassment
Every time one turns
around, another report comes along.
A lesbian, Morgan
claims Schulman—whom she refers to in the video by the pseudonym
“Jack” — pushed her to “reevaluate” her sexuality and have
sex with him. In another video, posted May 14, Morgan alleges that a
female production assistant, “Carol,” got her drunk and took
advantage of her. The next day, she claims, Schulman invited her into
his hotel room, where he allegedly propositioned her.

Five Movie
Franchises That Just Won’t Go Away
They
just don’t seem to go away. Far from great acting, but they have
plenty of what it takes to have people go to see them. Here they are:
Tremors
– you know, those big slugs burrowing around and popping up to eat
people.
Sniper
- # 8 should treat us to another nail-biting splurge of killings
Kickboxer
– I know you just can’t wait to watch an aging Jean-Claude Van
Damme teeter his way through another endless round of showing us what
a super hero he is.
Mean
Girls – this one I can’t say anything about because I never, ever
watched it.
Bring

never watched.

Canadian Veterinary
Chains Stops Declawing Cats
Say the procedure is
inhumane.
I love cats almost as
much as dogs and could never see why they should ever have their
claws removed. They’re felines and claws are an important part of
their makeup.
"Declaws have
become quite a common thing and, in fact, people think of them as
just a common procedure. And my veterinary generation created that
problem," said Danny Joffe, a medical director for VCA Canada
who works at a Calgary clinic.
"We got very
proficient at doing the procedure, especially as better pain
medications and anesthetic protocols came along. We thought we could
do it safely and fairly painlessly.
"What we've
learned is that, not only is that wrong, it's inhumane."
