It Don't Come Easy
Posted By: Imright, 10/7/2022 9:00:31 PM
Often, I derive inspiration for my writing from songs — certain titles or lyrics just seem to wander into my brain and jangle around it until I find a way (and the time) to sort them out on the page. Ringo Starr’s “It Don’t Come Easy” has been doing just that of late (not the lyrics, just the title) as it relates to the concept of change — particularly changing minds. I’ve been thinking a lot about political discourse — how fractious and perilous it most always seems to be. We’re a far cry from the spirited — but generally good-natured — debates I recall from my younger days.

Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the Texas abortion ban during a question and answer session in Austin - but made no mention of the migrant crisis engulfing the Lone State State. vent in Austin, Texas, but did find time to call Texas's abortion laws 'immoral.'
Harris, 57, was speaking at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library when she branded Governor Greg Abbott's almost near-ban on abortion as 'immoral.'
'The idea that there would be a policy and an approach that would say to someone who has survived an extreme act of violence and violation,' she said.
Harris continued: '[That] you do not have the autonomy, the authority as it relates to your body
The woman who claimed Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for her abortion in 2009 was friendly with Walker’s wife and supported his campaign as recently as May, text messages reveal.
Breitbart News obtained screenshots of messages from May between Walker’s accuser and the candidate’s wife, Julie.
The messages, first reported by NBC on Friday, suggest the woman, who would later go to the left-wing Daily Beast with claims against Herschel, had entirely different sentiments about his Senate bid when his campaign kicked off after the May Republican primary.
On May 24, the day Herschel, a Georgia football legend, was expected to handily win the primary, the woman texted Julie, “Good luck tonight!!!

McConnell Eats His Own In Alaska
22 replies
Sen. Mitch McConnell has no excuse. The ads his political group is producing to attack Alaska Republican Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka are beyond the pale.
Campaign attacks intensify in October because as the election runway gets shorter, it takes a sharp message to catch voters’ attention and seal the deal. But the money being spent by McConnell and his Senate Leadership Fund to attack a fellow Republican — one who may win and join the Senate to be his colleague — should shock the sensibilities of all conservatives.
And it is shocking Alaskans, indeed. McConnell’s determination to destroy another Republican’s reputation is driving Alaskans away from the Republican Party
Like many high-school seniors at this time of year, Natalie Biden made a college visit on Friday as she weighs where to study.
Unlike most seniors, however, she brought the president of the United States with her.
After delivering a speech on the economy in Maryland, President Joe Biden flew to Philadelphia to join his granddaughter for a tour of the University of Pennsylvania.
They spent about two hours meeting officials and seeing facilities, before visiting the college bookstore where Biden posed for selfies and could even be seen talking on wellwisher's phone.
They were joined for the tour by Penn President Elizabeth Magill, Sophia Rosenfield, Professor of History -
We’ve been covering a lot of data points that are moving in the direction of the Republicans just about a month before the midterm election. We see a Republican likely to win a House seat in Rhode Island — a deep-blue state — that hasn’t had a Republican in the position in 30 years. We also see Democrats saying they are up against it when it comes to money. They have to cover so many races where the Republicans are either winning or gaining. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has confessed they’re going to have to abandon some races monetarily which could cost them the House.
The White House is gearing up for a growing army of staff to fend off potential Republican-led probes on everything from Hunter Biden to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan — and taxpayers are footing the bill.
Battening down the hatches should the GOP regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, the White House is shelling out $265,000 a year in salary for staff whose primary portfolio will be to run comms and defense for the administration from an approaching blizzard of subpoenas.
In May, the White House poached Richard A. Sauber, the top attorney for the Department of Veterans Affairs,
Democrats are napping peacefully through the US-Mexico “border” crisis they engineered. Perhaps these data will snap them from their slumber:
The US Department of Homeland Security reports that the Mexican cartels’ income from smuggling illegal migrants into America has soared from $500 million in 2018 to $13 billion this year — up 2,500%. If these criminals merged into a corporation, their 2022 gross revenues would rival that of — are you sitting down? — Fox Corporation. Fox News Channel’s parent company earned $12.91 billion in the year ended June 30, 2021, and $13.97 billion 12 months later.

Managers’: Nike ‘Is Redlining And
Gerrymandering Black People’ 8 replies
Rapper Kanye West slammed companies that hire Black Lives Matter “managers” in an interview this week, and he took specific aim at Nike.
West made the remarks during a wide-ranging interview Friday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after arriving back in the U.S. from France where he attended the Paris Fashion Week.
“One idea that was in my head about three minutes ago that I really want to say is that’s really interesting about the — when companies get the BLM managers,” West said. “Black Lives Matter office manager, it’s basically you get a semi-influential black person to become the face of a white company.”
(Tweet/Video) One of the most progressive House of Representatives in the U.S., Cori Bush, is claiming that because she is black, she was forced to have an abortion.
While speaking to PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, Bush said that at 19 she went into a clinic to have an abortion done, (not her first one) and after telling nurses that she wasn’t ready, Bush says that she was forced to have the procedure done against her will.

First Lady Jill Biden offered a rare personal glimpse into her views on abortion during a political fundraiser in San Francisco on Friday, retelling the story of how her mother helped care for a teenage friend who got an abortion 60 years ago. Biden, who was 17 at the time, said her friend didn’t want to be pregnant, but learned that a doctor would only perform an abortion if she underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was declared mentally unfit. It was the late 1960s, before the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, and abortion was illegal in Pennsylvania, where she

Sniffling and choking back tears, CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday delivered an emotional farewell as he signed off on his final primetime show, “Don Lemon Tonight,” before moving to anchor the network’s morning show on Monday. “I was not always perfect, because no one is perfect,” Lemon said after playing a montage of highlights from his eight-year run on primetime. “There are immense pressures that come with this job and in particular this time slot at 10 o’clock, when people are going to bed.

HBO has timed the release of a new documentary on President Joe Biden’s first year in office to just three weeks before the midterm elections in what appears like the latest effort by Hollywood to rally support for Democrats and make the deeply unpopular Biden look more presidential.
In one indication as to how Biden will be portrayed, the documentary is being executive produced by far-left New York Times White House and national security correspondent David Sanger, who is also a frequent personality on CNN.
Year One: A Political Odyssey is set to debut on HBO October 19 and will also stream on HBO Max.

President Joe Biden’s warning that the world is at risk of a nuclear “Armageddon” was designed to send an unvarnished message that no one should underestimate the extraordinary danger if Russia deploys tactical nuclear weapons in its war against Ukraine, administration officials said Friday.
The president’s grim assessment, delivered during a Democratic fundraiser on Thursday night.
A liberal political media operation being run out of Washington, D.C., and Florida is pushing left-wing stories in 51 different fake news outlets in order to influence the outcome of the November midterm elections, it is claimed.
The allegations came in a shocking new investigation from Axios that was published on Thursday.
The report alleges that in the past 12 months, multiple new 'news' website have appeared across the country, all run by a company named Local Report Inc.
They do report a wide variety of stories - but sprinkled throughout are news items pushing Democrat lawmakers and policies.
Pfizer and BioNTech, the duo behind the world’s most widely used COVID-19 vaccine, and one of the most successful pharmaceutical products of all time, are developing a trio of new vaccines that could spur stronger, broader, and longer-lasting immunity to the coronavirus.

Schools Chancellor David Banks quietly promoted Mayor Adams’ girlfriend to a top job at the Department of Education, just months after Adams hired Banks’ girlfriend as a deputy mayor, The Post has learned. Banks named Tracey Collins—Adams’ longtime partner and NYC’s unofficial First Lady—the DOE’s “senior advisor to the deputy chancellor of school leadership,” Desmond Blackburn. She started the new job in July, and got a giant, 23% raise to $221,597 a year, records show. Hizzoner named Banks’ girlfriend, Sheena Wright, and four other women deputy mayors last Dec. 21. Deputy mayors made $251,982 in FY 21. Both women’s advancement underscores the tight inner circle of the Adams administration.
