Nancy Pelosi: We Need to Fund Planned Parenthood to Stop Zika, “It’s for the Babies”
Top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi is no stranger to odd and ironic comments when it comes to abortion. Now, she is at it again.
This time, Pelosi said Congress should direct taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business to supposedly help stop the Zika virus. She said it should be done “for the babies” even though Planned Parenthood aborts over 300,000 babies each and every year.

I guess the takeaway is that, for PP, the funding is needed. Bottom line.

Re: It's wacky time again folks!!!!!!!
And, at the other extreme are the "right to die" crowd who are ramping-up the efforts to pressure the elderly into committing suicide so save money......
Rehab Center Repeatedly Pressures 91-Year-Old Who Broke Her Wrist to Kill Herself in Assisted Suicide
Three years after Vermont legalized assisted suicide, pro-lifers are beginning to witness the abusive effects of the law on the elderly and disabled.
Mary Beerworth, executive director of Vermont Right to Life, shared the story of a 91-year-old woman who was staying in a rehab facility because she broke her wrist. When her family was not in the room, Beerworth said rehab staff repeatedly asked the elderly woman if she was in pain or depressed; then they would remind her that she could commit doctor-prescribed suicide under the new law. Beerworth said the woman never was diagnosed with a terminal illness; she just was old and had a broken bone.
Coercion and abuse are major problems in states where assisted suicide is legal. Beerworth said the Vermont legislation makes it worse by requiring that every person diagnosed with a terminal illness be told that they can commit assisted suicide with a doctor’s prescription.
And the pro-euthanasia group Compassion& Choices, formerly the Hemlock Society, hired someone in Vermont to go to geriatric conferences and senior citizens expos to promote assisted suicide, Beerworth said. On their display table, they give away life savers, she said.
“You can’t make this up,” Beerworth said.

I imagine y'all heard about the riots in Milwaukee over the weekend
An ARMED suspect was shot and killed by a BLACK police officer
Still, riots. It's the principle of the thing, I guess.

Re: It's wacky time again folks!!!!!!!
Yup. made the news even over here.....
But, to show just how far and how deeply ingrained the political correctness of the Left reaches, we have this:
Snippet:
Perhaps the most notorious example of identity politics was played out in public during ol hound-dog Bills many sexual scandals, in particular the Monica Lewinsky escapade, when Hillary a big advocate for woman’s rights went on damage control and virtually on a smear campaign destroying the reputation of then intern Lewinsky and scores of other woman, with some actually being sexually assaulted by the president.
So it should come as no surprise that Hillary would congratulate a Muslim wearing a hijab for competing at the Olympics in Rio, while totally ignoring the first American gold medalist, because it involved a firearm.
http://usherald.com/hillary-will-not-co ... ratulates/
Which I guess sorta begs the question - When Hillary calls for secret service protection, is there implicit in that request a presumption on her part that all secret service agents actually be trained and proficient in firearms use, or that they merely be a holder of a "participant" award........????

Ah yes, any reason to "party" is a good one, I suppose. Have been reading about it, is it true, that white people are the targets? It would stand to reason, I guess.

Speaking of "target".............
Target's $20 million answer to transgender bathroom boycott
Target, facing a boycott over its policy of allowing transgender customers and employees to use the bathroom of their choice, says it will spend $20 million to expand bathroom options at all of its U.S. stores
Target (TGT) CFO Cathy Smith said Wednesday that the company has heard objections to the transgender bathroom policy from some customers, though she said other customers had voiced support. In response, Target has decided to expand its use of a third, single-toilet bathroom at all of its stores, which can be locked by users.
That bathroom can be used by any customer who needs some privacy, including parents with small children of a different gender or those who are uncomfortable with a public bathroom in which a transgender person is allowed.
"We put that in motion for some time prior to the [June] shareholders meeting," said spokeswoman Katie Boylan. "At the end of the day, Target is all about inclusion. We want everyone to feel comfortable in our stores."
There are about 1,800 U.S. Target stores, and all but 300 already have the single occupancy bathrooms available. All but about 25 of those stores should have the new bathrooms by the end of the year, and the remaining stores should get them early in 2017, Boylan said.
The retailer reported disappointing sales and cut its forecast on future sales Wednesday morning, sending its stock lower.
Smith said there is no evidence the boycott has had any significant effect on sales, despite the 7% drop in sales compared to a year ago, along with further sales declines now predicted for later this year.
But boycott leaders, who have collected 1.4 million signatures online, have claimed their efforts to pressure Target is taking a bite out of sales.
"We're confident that our boycott has played a significant role in Target's financial results that came out today," said Walker Wildmon, assistant to the president of the American Family Association, which says it promotes traditional moral values.
Wildmon says Target's policy poses a risk to children and women using women's rooms, a charge denied by LGBT advocates. Boycott leaders had urged Target to install the private restrooms at all locations, but they advocated that the store's policy be changed so that transgender customers and employees no longer be allowed into the bathroom and dressing rooms of their choice.
"This doesn't completely answer our concerns," said Wildmon.

And people wonder why businesses fare so poorly in this country.......... A Far Left social-engineering "solution" has resulted in a multi-billion dollar loss to a single company, AND, in order to appear politically correct, this same company s now forking over another $20 MILLION in order to facilitate bathroom use.
This is how far we have sunk in this country. Never mind the corruption, loss of jobs, loss of global prestige, loss of conscience. No, what truly matters is having the fell-good feeling......... That it divides the country is irrelevant.

Of course I am. You should see all the construction being done where I work -the past few years we've undergone a lot of expansion. Most of the labor wasn't local, and many of the folks weren't American either.......
