Stay Home With Your Babies

The “working woman” culture has been toxic to motherhood. I can already feel the rage emanating from some mothers. Hear me out. My mother is a Baby Boomer. She came from a culture in which mothers staying home with children was the norm (which it is in most parts of the world, by the way) and mothers going to work while their children went to babysitters seemed very out of place. Her generation fought that notion. They wanted the right to be seen as equal partners in financially providing for their families. They wanted the right to go make a career and conquer their chosen professions

It’s religious dogma to the left: our immigration system is broken and the only fix is more cowbell. Ok, maybe not more cowbell, but a complete overhaul of the system – “comprehensive immigration reform” – which is code, or “dog whistle,” to put it in terms Democrats will understand, for amnesty. Sure, it would also involve a lot of other things progressives leftists admit we need to “fix” about the system, but without amnesty, they aren’t interested in any of it. Which goes to show you that, in fact, the immigration system is not broken, Democrats are.
Our immigration system worked just fine (not perfectly, mind you, but fine)
Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the hearings of the House Select Committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 would show “new information.”
Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “The chairman for the committee investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol announced a series of public hearings will be held in June with the very first one scheduled for the 9th. Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is a member of that committee, and he joins us this morning. Good morning to you. Congressman, do you expect this to be more of building a public narrative,
High prices in President Joe Biden’s America are forcing Americans to change their eating habits, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found.
The vast majority of Americans, 87 percent, acknowledged that they are paying more for groceries now than they were one year ago. That includes 93 percent of Republicans, 85 percent of Democrats, and 84 percent of independents.
The overall outlook is not positive either, as 64 percent predict they will be paying even more for groceries one year from now, with just 9 percent predicting it will be lower. Once again, there is a consensus across the board, as 77 percent of Republicans, 55 percent of Democrats,
Former Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has been a fierce critic of her party’s slide into full-blown authoritarianism and on Sunday morning, she offered up a provocative take on the Biden regime’s terrifying new propaganda and censorship entity, suggesting that a familiar character is behind it.
Last week, Americans were given a reality check on just how rogue that the current administration has gone under President Joe Biden when news broke that rabidly partisan Nina Jankowicz would be heading up the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board, a chilling step in establishment efforts to control the narrative in order to retain their iron-fisted grip on political power.

NY Times to claim Americans ‘doing much
better under Biden’ 12 replies
California Rep. Eric Swalwell has long been accused of being a “dumb a–,” but his latest ditzy move has critics thinking that even this insult is a gross underestimation of the lawmaker’s true “stupidity.”
Citing a New York Times opinion column, Swalwell claimed in a tweet posted last week that “all” Americans, particularly rural Americans, are faring better economically under President Joe Biden versus under former President Donald Trump.
“Compared to the Trump years, we are all doing much better under @POTUS Biden. But that’s especially true in Rural America. Share this story to make sure we all understand the difference and impact,” he wrote.

A Columbia, Tennessee family claims they were stalked via an Apple AirTag while walking through Disney World theme park.
An Apple AirTag is a coin-shaped device designed to help users keep track of their belongings’ location. For instance, one might put an AirTag in their backpack, so that in case they misplace their backpack, they can look up its location on their phone.
But something entirely different happened to the family of Jennifer Gaston.
As the family was reportedly headed back to their vehicle after a day of walking through the theme park, Gaston’s 17-year-old daughter, Madison, received a notification on her phone — presumably an iPhone —

Earlier this week, the State Government Leadership Foundation (SGLF) launched its six-figure "Tale of Two Americas" ad campaign to highlight the stunning contrast between how states run by Republican leaders and those run by Democrats fare when it comes to issues such as economic opportunity, academic achievement, and safety in their communities. [Video]
The 54-second ad contains buzzwords such as "freedom and fear." The ad distinguishes how "Our country is a tale of two Americas. One full of freedom. The other full of fear. We have opportunity or hardship. Education or indoctrination. Rule of law or lawlessness. Strength or weakness."

I can already feel the rage emanating from some mothers. Hear me out.

Naomi Judd, who with her daughter Wynonna formed the tremendously successful country duo The Judds, died Saturday April 30th from what a press release by Wynonna and her sister, actress Ashley Judd, labeled as “mental illness.” Naomi Judd was 76, the Associated Press reports.
The Judds first came to public attention in 1983 with the release of their debut EP Wynonna & Naomi. Its debut single made it into the Country Top 20, but the follow-up “Mama He’s Crazy” became a smash hit, the duo’s first Number One single. [Video]
From that point on, it was hit after hit. Over a six-year period ending in 1990,
Democrat senators on Friday will weigh whether or not Elon Musk should testify about how he intends to reform Twitter.
The senators’ deliberation comes after the Biden administration on Wednesday created a “Disinformation Governance Board” just two days after Musk’s inked the deal with Twitter. It appears Democrats are gearing up for a two-pronged attack on any changes Musk makes to the platform.
“We’re thinking about it,” Commerce Committee Chair Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told Bloomberg News about a potential hearing. No hearing has yet been scheduled, but Democrats may find a hearing politically expedient.
Since Musk’s successful bid to take Twitter private, congressional Democrats have become interested
Britain’s new Elections Act, which has just received Royal Assent, has finally made voter ID compulsory at polling stations — but questions remain about mail-in voting fraud.
The new legislation was widely opposed by left-wing political parties, including the Labour opposition, and activists, with allegations that the poor, ethnic minorities, and “trans and non-binary people” would be disenfranchised being widespread.
However, the government produced research showing that, in fact, “98 per cent of electors already own a photographic document that is on the broad list of acceptable types of identification” allowed under the Act, and the remaining two per cent will be entitled to Voter Cards
Establishment Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Thursday admitted she may lose her primary bid to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.
“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,’ she said about Tshibaka who is leading in the polls.
“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone — I have to accept that,” Murkowski added.

it will make company ‘whiter, more male-dominated’ 62 replies
Employees of the tech giant Apple are revolting against a plan to get staff back into the office for three days a week, claiming it will make the company “younger, whiter and more male-dominated”. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has said his proposed “hybrid working pilot” for US, Europe and UK employees is an attempt to balance the corporate benefits of in-office working with the personal advantages that working from home gives staff members. A group of US-based Apple employees have formed an organisation dubbed “Apple Together” and claim the initiative is “only driven by fear”. The unnamed staff have sent
All Hillary Schubach wanted to do is something good for the environment. But after switching to driving a plug-in electric sedan, she quickly realized a new complication of apartment living: Access to a charging station. Schubach’s hardly alone. Even as it appears electric car sales are hitting a tipping point, those living in apartments and condominiums around the nation can find it difficult, expensive or outright impossible to find a way to plug in when they’re at home. With nearly one out of three households living in apartments or condominiums, the goal of switching to electric vehicles to fight climate
An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award. The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition. Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday, The Telegraph reported. The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless
Jill Biden is not an inherently interesting person. She’s been a teacher for some decades now, wrote an undistinguished thesis to get a meaningless Ed.D., and now functions as her husband’s nursemaid. She also lacks charm. And, of course, she’s White. Why someone thought a biography of her would be interesting is impossible to understand although a biography that took two people to write hit the market this past week—and completely bombed. (snip) Julie Page and Darlene Superville, both of whom are AP reporters, thought there was something there, something people would pay $26 for a hardback to learn about.
Kathy Boudin, a radical leftist convicted in the fatal Brink's robbery who went on to help former inmates, and the mother of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, died Sunday afternoon at her home in New York, according to a statement from the district attorney's office, and reports from the San Francisco Chronicle and other news outlets. (snip) Kathy Boudin, Gilbert and other members of the organization worked in conjunction with the Revolutionary Armed Task Force and the Black Liberation Army to partake in a robbery of $1.6 million in a Brink’s armored car at the Nanuet Mall in New York.
Russia threatened a dramatic escalation of its war in Ukraine Thursday when Russia’s Channel One featured a video depicting Russian missiles reaching Berlin, Paris, and London.According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.” This was not, however, Zhuravlyov’s eccentric view: “Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea.”
Zhuravlyov declared: “One Sarmat [missile] and that’s it
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Disinformation Governance Board would not infringe on free speech or monitor Americans.Anchor Dana Bash said, “Let’s talk about what your department is calling, The Disinformation Governance Board that you unveiled this week. Republicans are calling it Orwellian and comparing it to the ministry of truth in the novel 1984. Can you clarify what exactly is this? What exactly will this disinformation governance board do? Will it monitor American citizens? ”Mayorkas said, “Dana, I’m very pleased to do so. It’s clear, I mean, those criticisms are precisely the opposite of what this
The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country.“I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law,” Musk said.The Biden Regime is so frightened over Musk’s decision to buy Twitter that they responded by creating an Orwellian, unconstitutional “Ministry of Truth.”Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story shortly before the 2020 election so Joe Biden is working overtime to make sure
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in a secret visit to the war torn country’s capitol city, footage released Sunday shows.
Zelensky shared the footage showing him joined by an armed escort coming to meet Pelosi at the steps of a building in Kyiv as Ukrainian forces continue to resist bombardment from invading Russian forces.“Nice to meet you, thank you for coming,” Zelensky tells Pelosi in English.

as Investigation into ‘Rust’ Shooting Continues 25 replies
Actor Alec Baldwin pushed gun control Friday just months after Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in an on set sequence in which Baldwin was holding the gun.
In a Friday Instagram post, the Boss Baby star wrote “We regulate many things in this country in the interest of public health and safety. Drugs, cars, professional licenses, etc. We need gun control reform. Now.”
Alec Baldwin did not describe the kinds of “gun control reform” that he wants to see, but he did post video in which numerous shots rang out near a South Carolina little league baseball game on Monday.
The New York Times is running a three-part expose of Fox News show host Tucker Carlson. sub-titled “American Nationalist,” delivered by a staggering ten-person research/reporting crew led by reporter Nicholas Confessore, including an exhaustive analysis of 1150 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that ran from November 2016 through 2021.
Confessore relied on anonymous sourcing and hostile characterizations of the host’s populist- conservative opinions to bluntly declare both his show and Carlson himself as racist. The headline to Part 1, blared on Sunday's front page, set the tone for this extraordinarily long and completely hostile series, one of the longest things your scribe can remember reading from the Times: “How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney reportedly likes to go incognito while in Palm Beach, Florida.
The Utah conservative has been wearing hats while dining out in the wealthy oceanside enclave, where he has a vacation home, in an effort to disguise himself, a family friend told the authors of the new book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future."
"If he were recognized by Trump supporters there, there was a good chance he would be harassed," New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns wrote. Former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is also in Palm Beach.

My mom stayed at home to raise her kids until my younger brother started middle school. Then, and only then did she take a part time position at our local hospital as a nurses aide. Before that, if we were sick, she was there to make us feel better. If we had school plays or concerts, she was there to attend them. We were afforded the luxury of walking home for lunch and finding hot soup and toasted cheese sandwiches on a cold winter day. She also my Girl Scout leader and the cookie mom for our troop. And because she was home during the day, she was a "Helping Hand" mom, indicated by the bright neon orange hand cutout in our front window, so if any of the neighborhood kids needed a bandaid, a cup of water or a safe harbor and a phone call to their parents, Mom was there. I will not criticize any woman who feels the need to work while raising her kids. Both of my sisters needed to in order to help pay bills and their kids turned out fine. However, I will be eternally grateful for the sacrifices my parents made for their children, regardless of how difficult it was for them.
