Senate Democrats wanted to manufacture a political optic using the hot button issue of abortion. The senate pushed a bill for a massive expansion of abortion, far beyond Roe -v- Wade, to the floor. However, the bill needed 60 votes to pass cloture, end debate.
Embarrassingly, and in a pure political stunt, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer summoned Kamala Harris to the upper chamber in the event she was needed for a “tie-breaking” vote. However, cloture requires 60 votes, not 50, so the optics of Harris only highlighted the insufferable politics.
“Poor Power-Hungry Chuck Schumer. He dragged Kamala Harris out of her class on “How To Win Friends And Influence People” for no reason at all. A tiny child can handle this task….in fact this little lady has her ‘NAY’ tie-breaking vote ready for you Schumer.
Now, Cry us another river and get Kamala’s ASS back to class! ” -Sheila Tolley-
New York City is a sanctuary city for illegals, murderers, and crooked politicians. I have written of people being shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, and having acid thrown in their face. These things happened on the subways, streets, bodegas, trains, buses, drive by shootings into bedrooms, baby strollers, and every other place imaginable.
Sports–A Tennessee Volunteer sets a record, and an aging ball player admits he can’t flop like he used to. Flopping is when you fall backwards hoping to get an unearned foul.
Animals–I have reported on too many Pit Bulls and Mixed Bulls killing their owners, children, neighbors, and other animals. I want them banned from my state. The owners involved are not usually functioning adults.
Young Stars of NGC 346 Image Credit: NASA, ESA – acknowledgement: Antonella Nota (ESA/STScI) et al.,
Explanation: The massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic. The star cluster is embedded in the largest star forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, some 210,000 light-years distant. Their winds and radiation sweep out an interstellar cavern in the gas and dust cloud about 200 light-years across, triggering star formation and sculpting the region’s dense inner edge. Cataloged as N66, the star forming region also appears to contain a large population of infant stars. A mere 3 to 5 million years old and not yet burning hydrogen in their cores, the infant stars are strewn about the embedded star cluster. In this false-color Hubble Space Telescope image, visible and near-infrared light are seen as blue and green, while light from atomic hydrogen emission is red.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
As Ronald Reagan said:
“Both politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason.”
