NOLA TV and what passes for city government are all up in arms over the number of opiate deaths in the city. Seems the dead doper’s numbers are exceeding the numbers of shooting deaths…guuuuun violllllence versus poor, innocent people accidentally going tango uniform from overdosing.
Aside from the whiners trying to make ODing look like a crime sgainst a victim they totally ignore the crimes the junkies commit to get that dope money. They show ‘innocent’ college students, housewives, businessmen…all the far edges of the bell curve and ignore the huge majority of the garbage in between that Mr and Ms Suburbia wouldn’t want to see even from the safety of an armored safari bus.
Media and pols have been ignoring the huge drug problem in NOLA since we first came to the city, they consider it a victory in the War on Drugs when junkies start dying from a new drug. Then again, there are many of us with strong suspicions that some well-placed folks in the city are more than passive observers of the drug sales scene. Junkies were keeling over from heroin ODs in the early 2000s too and that drew scant attention, suddenly it’s a major social concern right up there with bad breath and hairy legs.
Note that the reporters never ask cops who work the streets what thry think about junkie ODs…probably because we were all ‘given’ our opinions and they know what they’ll be. We regularly saw junkies who were familiar to us, who knew how to game the system, who’d been in rehab more times than we’d been to Disneyland. We see junkis the city’s arrested, the EMTs had resuscitated numetous times and they were as bad as ever, Reporters don’t talk with them, they hilite the one-in-a-thousand who kicks the habit….for a while, ad of saving one for avperiod justifies all of the junkie-related desth and misery from the poppy fields to your doorstep.
I’m all for withdrawing all support after one attempt to rehab them, they go back to the horse then let ’em wink out in some alley, there are better places to spend the money. Yet another reason I’d never be elected in a major city.

A good Lenten reflection today from Bishop Barron I’d like to share.
Friends, in today’s Gospel we see Jesus as the judge who shows mercy and love. It is hard to read any two pages of the Bible—Old Testament or New—and not find the language of divine judgment.
Think of judgment as a sort of light, which reveals both the positive and the negative. Beautiful things look even more beautiful when the light shines on them; ugly things look even uglier when they come into the light. When the divine light shines, when judgment takes place, something like real love is unleashed. Someone might avoid seeing the doctor for years, fearful that he will uncover something diseased or deadly. But how much better it is for you, even when the doctor pronounces a harsh “judgment” on your physical condition!
And this is why judgment is the proper activity of a king. It is not the exercise of arbitrary power, but rather an exercise of real love.

I think of the drug addicts czar talks about in light of this teaching. It is neither loving nor merciful to deny the causes and results of their addictions and to leave them free to destroy not only their own lives, but other people as well.
Society today mistakes mercy with weakness and denial. If I am lost in sin, who is more merciful to me, the person who speaks plainly the truth to me, or the one who excuses my actions and gives me platitudes?
Justice is not incompatible with mercy.

Go and clean out a drug house with the cops. We’d take volunteers, bust a drug house and board it up. We’d make beer bets on how long until the first volunteer puked…press who came with would never come inside. The floors would be littered with used beedles, invariably diabetic rigs, and rotted goid, filthy mattresses and garbage would be everywhere. Urine and feces would be in toilets, sinks and on the floir, accompanied by lots of vomit, nonebofbthe places would have running water.
It was mostly political theater, we’d board the pkaces up and the junkies would fond some way to cut thru the floor or walls to get back in. News would show us boatding up one or two on a weekend, not mentioning that there were literally thousands of abandoned spaces citywide. It made the residents feel easier in their demial process and made itnlook like something was actually being done to blunt the epidemic.

The apologists don’t give you the whole story. Over 60% of these heroin junkies are concurrently on othet drugs, usually two more. Look at your communities’ STD and heroin abuse stats and see the correlation. Look at how many robberies, burglaries, muggings and thefts in your community are committed by junkies to get drug money…oh, your community doesn’t publish that….wonder why?
If you live in a major city and your kids walk to/home from school do you know if they walk thru a drug market at any point? Surprise…..
Look at the Hollyork crowd, drug abuse is a sacrament. We drool over their every move, suffer with and for them as they go thru multiple rehab sessions that cost more than the houses most folks live in. Their addiction is the price they pay for entertaining us…if we can’t condemn them how can we condemn that wretch nodding off in the alley?

My brother was an alcoholic. His employer had sent him to rehab several times, I believe. But, he didn’t quit until he had a spell feeling drunk and seeing things one morning when he had had nothing to drink and took himself to the ER. At that point, he was ready to quit. So, he admitted himself. He and another man came out of that program with 10 or 15 other people. They were the only ones who stayed dry from that group.

Relapse rates run better than 60% though the rehab industry plays with the numbers so the taxpayers footing most of it don’t fall,over in a faint.
I don’t see the mission of society as having to soend endless time and resources on trying to save druggies from their own bad behaviors. They made a voluntary decision to consume an illegal substance even after being confronted for years by various sources not only tellingbthen ‘no’ but clearly outlining the repercussions. Their decisions, regardless of the excuses tendered, are even worse voluntary decisions as they clearly know the downsides of drugs now.
Folks wanna try and nurse these injured lambs, fine, open those FEMA camps and shovel ’em in. They can stay there until it’s 110% sure they are no longer a danger to society, and they are a true danger.

I received this video today in my email from Center For Medical Progress. You probably know them as the organization that filmed and exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal baby harvesting practices.
Partial text of the email:
We’re dropping a shocking new undercover video this morning from never-before-released footage of a top-level Planned Parenthood trade show.
Watch a longtime Planned Parenthood abortionist explain that if a baby is born with signs of life in a late-term abortion, “the key is, you need to pay attention to who’s in the room”:
You can read the full press release here. [http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/2017/03/planned-parenthood-abortionist-pay-attention-to-whos-in-the-room-to-deal-with-infants-born-alive/]
Late yesterday evening, Planned Parenthood’s political cronies in the California Attorney General’s office filed bogus charges against me, alleging that our undercover videotapes recorded “confidential” communications. There is NOTHING “confidential” about the crimes against women, infants, and families that Planned Parenthood routinely commits.
It’s no surprise Planned Parenthood’s latest desperate move comes as we are releasing a damning new video, and while our movement is closer than ever before to terminating this monster abortion factory’s taxpayer subsidies.

Anyhow we would pick Lily of the Vally flowers and use them to decorate the doll house and have the bears live there.

Lotta yak about this being in ‘Oklahona’ where they have a ‘make my day law’ (they played Eatwood clip too) that allows you to shoot someone in your home. They briefly and quickly mentioned the thugs were armed with a knife and brass knuckles then jumped over to the young girl who’d driven them there and planned the robbery (specifically not calling it a hone invasion) a being charged sith murder.

SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AFTER SHOTS FIRED OUTSIDE US CAPITOL
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/29/driver-tried-to-hit-capitol-police-officers-officials-say.html
A police car-chase has ended with a suspect trying to hit Capitol Police and other vehicles — as well as officers — near Capitol Hill.
The suspect is now in custody.
The incident began at about 9:30 a.m. when police began chasing a vehicle near the Library of Congress and ended about a half-mile away when the vehicle was stopped by a road barricade and police fired shots.
It remains unclear why police started following the car and whether the suspect was hit by gunfire.
The suspect reportedly hit a police cruiser and several other vehicles.
The chase went past the Rayburn House Office Building, on Independence Avenue and occurred during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, the height of Washington’s tourist season.

My Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner has said that healthcare reform is on the back burner until September when the premiums for Obama Care are going to spike again. Some of the members of the Freedom Caucus have already capitulated according to Sensenbrenner.
President Trump hangs Ryan, finds out who is going to obstruct POTUS’s agenda and sets up a scenario where anyone who votes against a repeal, reform, replace health bill in September is going to be blamed for the crippling ObamaCare premiums and lose all credibility because as apathetic as most Americans are when the government starts demanding so much money from them that they literally are choosing between health care/fines and paying the mortgage and feeding their families even the most sleepy of heads will have to take notice.

Hillary would not only have continued Obamacare but have done nothing to prevent the premium raises, Fed health insurance is already about to cause a revolt. Raises would have pushed more and more people into Medicaid and the US closer to a single-payer, government controlled healthcare system, a way to do all manner of things heretofore only found in dystopian novels.

Good morning/afternoon, dear friends. I’m even later to the party than usual today because I gave myself the luxurious gift of sleeping in as long as I felt like. Because..ta-da!…today is my birthday! Not just any birthday, today I turn 65 and am officially an Old Lady. It sounds so much older than it feels! I know, 65 is the new 50; but even 50 sounds older than I feel, which is more like 43. Where did all those years go? Apparently it never stops, as my dad–who turns 88 this year–says he doesn’t feel a day over 65. Dear hubby is taking me out for dinner tonight to our favorite restaurant, Louie’s, which is a taxidermist’s delight and a shocker to visiting vegetarians. The walls are full of stuffed Alaskan fauna, and our favorite table is right below a giant moose head. Prime rib, here we come. I’ve thought about asking them if I can take a photo of their kitchen to show Wooley, because it is so small and the volume of food they turn out is truly impressive (as is the quality). I’ve taken the day off (as March 29th is third in line only to Christmas and Easter in my book) and plan to spend the day reading and visiting with friends. Hope y’all’s is wonderful too!

1638 1st permanent white settlement in Delaware (Swedish Lutherans) The Dutch first settled Delaware in 1631, although all of the original settlers were killed in a disagreement with local Indians. Seven years later, the Swedes set up a colony and trading post at Fort Christina in the northern part of Delaware. Today, Fort Christina is called Wilmington.
1804 Thousands of Whites massacred in Haiti
1806 Construction is authorized of the Great National Pike, better known as the Cumberland Road,

Built between 1811 and 1837, the 620-mile (1,000 km) road connected the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and was a main transport path to the West for thousands of settlers. When rebuilt in the 1830s, it became the second U.S. road surfaced with the macadam process pioneered by Scotsman John Loudon McAdam.[2]

1951 The Mad Bomber strikes in New York. Crime
On this day in 1951, a homemade device explodes at Grand Central Station in New York City, startling commuters but injuring no one. In the next few months, five more bombs were found at landmark sites around New York, including the public library. Authorities realized that this new wave of terrorist acts was the work of the Mad Bomber.
New York’s first experience with the so-called Mad Bomber was on November 16, 1940, when a pipe bomb was left in the Edison building with a note that read, “Con Edison crooks, this is for you.” More bombs were recovered in 1941, each more powerful than the last, until the Mad Bomber sent a note in December stating, “I will make no more bomb units for the duration of the war.” He went on to say that Con Edison, New York’s electric utility company, would be brought to justice in due time. After the war, he would bomb again three times. He was a disgruntled ex Con Edison employee, who believed he was treated unfairly after an injury in 1931.

Mariner 10 had visited the planet Venus eight weeks before but only for the purpose of using Venus’ gravity to whip it toward the closest planet to the sun. In three flybys of Mercury between 1974 and 1975, the NASA spacecraft took detailed images of the planet and succeeded in mapping about 35 percent of its heavily cratered, moonlike surface.

1976 8 Ohio National Guardsmen indicted for shooting 4 Kent State students. The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] was the shooting of unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, by members of the Ohio National Guard on May 4, 1970. Twenty-nine guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.Some of the students who were shot had been protesting the Cambodian Campaign, which President Richard Nixon announced during a television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance. There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students, and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.

OGP – one of my all time favorites – is a truly incredible movie about those months/years just before we die in old age, such as memory loss and ill health, but even more of intergenerational love and relationships – it’s quite the celebration of life.

Did anyone else see the Warner/Burr Presser? It was a real smoke and mirrors show with a lot of obfuscation thrown in for good measure.
Sen Mark Warren assured us small scared Americans that the Russians were not only here but that they are still coming and they showed an extreme positive bias toward Donald Trump especially in states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Warrens was asked if he personally saw any evidence of coordination between POTUS or his team with Russia after his answer was;
1) I sure wish President Trump would release his tax forms like all other presidents have done.
2) The Russians tried to weaken America.
3) What if the Russians interfere in the upcoming European elections.
4) We are investigating in the “Spirit of the American People” who are saying what is going on here?
5) We are looking for the right documents that support the footnotes of conclusions that others came to but right now we don’t even know the right questions to ask. (Read: There ain’t nothin’ there)
6) 1000’s of Russian made pro-Trump posts to make it look like he had more support from Americans than he really did have. << This is a paraphrase but it is the heart of what was said.
7) It was in Russia’s best self interest to have a “President Trump.”
8) We want to see what was cut and thrown on the floor.
9) The Russians used social media to promote the idea that Hillary was sick or that Hillary took money from this person or that person, in other words the Russian’s promoted propaganda/fake news to get Hillary 😜.
So the short answer is NO that have found absolutely no collusion between Team Trump and the Russians but they are going to search though stuff to see if they can cobble some BS together. I think he referred to it as “Seeing what was left on the cutting floor.”
And Burr chimed in a few times to say things like;
1) I voted for Trump but I will not let that get in the way of a fair investigation.
2) All the rumors reported in the press are not true.
3) I have seen no evidence of the White house interfering with our investigation. If we see any evidence of them trying to cut us off you’ll hear from us.
4) The DOJ has not blocked our investigation.
5) We weren’t hired to conduct a witch hunt we were hired to conduct an investigation.
6) We don’t know who the Russians will turn their character assignation on next 🤔.
And the benevolent Warner said I have confidence in Richard Burr 🙄.
At least neither one said that Putin hates Clinton.
Amazing times. Folks. Amazing times.
Good grief.

I have a question re the press conference this morning with Burr and Warner.
Unless I did not hear them right they stated their “staffs” are currently reviewing all the evidence. I thought when it came to the Gang of 8 only the Gang of 8 members alone can view the top intelligence – which is why they are Gang of 8 members [and why Nunes was allowed to go to the West Wing to a secure facility to view some confidential information].
If my understanding of th role of the Gof8 is correct – how is it their staff and not Burr and Warner the only people reviewing the info – if even the other elected senators [and congressmen] are not high enough security to see these documents, – why lowly staff? Especially in light of what we know about the “IT contractors” in congress who [it appears] did some snooping that was not allowed of confidential documents.

That is what I understood also. They have hired a load of people to rifle through thousands of pages of intelligence to make sure that the elusive unicorn was not left on the cutting floor.
One example of how blatant the lies were and how biased the investigation and the results are going to be is that Warner said that Russia manipulated Google to give more positive results for Trump and negative results for Clinton. A demonstrably false lie in the Google results measure alone.

Just as an aside, a humorous interjection, if I may. We were just settling down our first night at the cabin, for some reason I was watching Lou Dobbs, IN REAL TIME! Anyway, I listened and listened and I could swear he was calling Dems “Dims”, honest to goodness. Maybe my ears were on crooked. 🙂

The White House just got prettier. WAY prettier. Yeah, probably smarter, too, for any lurking feminists. I would play chess with her, but I wouldn’t bet on me.

I’d play chess with her, if only for the lesson, and so that I could brag, “I played chess with Ivanka Trump, and lost.”

Every male Democrat operative, including MSM, in the White House, who isn’t either gay, trans, asexual, or a furry — which I estimate may be a good 35% of them — is now going to be henceforth completely distracted from their work.
Brilliant move, Donald!

So, what is in this for our President? Loyalty, which is obvious, but more than that, I see honesty. She will not bs her dad, ever. That is a rare thing in the swamp, so good on both of them. This coming from someone with a huge dislike of nepotism.

He just permanently distracted thirty five percent (maybe) of Democrat males in the White House on any given day. That’s genius.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray

Well, lookee here. Our favorite ignorant, illiterate, lying, racist lawyer has been written about by Michelle Malkin. How about that. I mean, the man ( I assume he is a man) can’t even speak fluid English.
