I guess he and his staff feel that promising free healthcare “for the children” will work like it did in the ObamaCare days.
Plus his ads show a bunch of women at near term, and tells us all that “women deserve healthcare before, during and especially after giving birth”.
I mean, what woman doesn’t want all of the above??

So, again, everyone else gets to pay for their choices to get pregnant…..we gotta take care of them BEFORE as well as their kids for the the years after they give birth.

The ads are well done, and designed to appeal to women’s emotions. And they will likely work for many women….Will the ads work well enough that they can sway the women’s vote enough to put him over the top? He apparently thinks women are gullible enough that they will work. Sadly, he might be right.

Great idea….if, of course, they had the range and refueling/recharging times that were comparable to gasoline vehicle….and if the charging infrastructure were available…and if they weren’t so expensive….and if they had the payload that fossil fuel vehicles did..

But if he thinks we need to change to all electric or other non fossil fuel vehicles (which BTW are recharged from generating stations where the generators are turned by steam generated by mostly …fossil fuels!) I encourage him to start setting the example. Feel free, Mr Bloomberg, to show the rest of us the way…..Start using fully electric vehicles for your transportation needs during your campaign and the rest of your daily travels. I wanna see how well that works out for ya. Plus how are ya gonna do air travel if you aren’t gonna use those nasty fossil fuels? Trains? Yeah, some are electric….but, again, that electric comes (mostly) from fossil fuels.

Or is this a case of “for thee, but not for me”?

Seriously. And he wants to make the change using YOUR tax dollars for some folks….the rest of us don’t get the freebies ’cause we are too successful? (and lets not forget that Mikey has lots of cash, but he ain’t spreading HIS cash around like he wants to spread your (increased) tax money around. 

I suppose that the attendees deserve a lot of credit for that, and perhaps the Governor as well. I would suspect that his measures to prevent issues actually worked, if only by dissuading the element that one would have expected to cause trouble from attending.

Hats off to all those who attended, even if some chose to live up to the stereotype. 

5 days late. His birthday was on January 15.

But we had to delay the celebration of his birthday so that government workers can have a 3 day weekend.

Some honor, innit? 

and should something untoward happen (shootings, beatings, etc) what with the folks who are looking for trouble (and yes, they are on BOTH sides)…..

Can those who were attending for peaceful redress of grievances sue if they are injured or damaged?

I mean, after all, aren’t the Governor and his employees taking responsibility for the safety and security of those who are attending by disarming the attendees?

Enquiring minds and all that

But regardless, I can’t see where any good would come from attending. The Governor (and his cronies) isn’t gonna change is mind about trying to end run the Second Amendment, and being at the meeting and demonstration puts you at risk, not only of being identified as a “Gun guy” but also at risk for physical damage….Risk without any potential gain.  

and:

“But if you spread your legs because he said ‘be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie’ then I’m afraid that’s tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about that.”

Preach it ladies.

You should read the whole article

I be that the Mainstream Media chooses not to put this on TV though. Although, if they were honest and not all about saying the “correct thing” they would. 

My woodstove also has forced air….it is quite efficient. However, there is a minimum size one can build a fire at, below which the woodstove doesn’t really heat the house well….and in these warm weather days like we have had this winter, I cannot get decent heat using the woodstove. Actually, the woodstove heats too well, and when it is 32 or 35 F outside, when heating with the woodstove it is easy to get interior temperatures about 75 or 77 F…..Too hot for me to be comfortable. The issue is that one cannot turn the wood fire on and off like a gas flame….once lit, it can only be dampered (throttled) to a minimum level before going out….and often that level is too high to just heat the house to a comfortable level.
So I run the gas furnace to heat the house to 68 or 70. (Instead of 75 or more)

So, oddly enough, when it is too warm in the winter, I have to burn more gas and less wood. Therefore when it is warmer, my gas bill will be higher than normal…I use so little gas in the winter (normally) that three times in the past 20 years the gas company has come out to check the meter and the installation to see if it is defective or I am bypassing it or otherwise stealing gas, as my gas consumption during the winter months is about 20% of normal for houses of the size and age mine is…

Yeah, I know, first world problems and all that.
Still and all, I am glad it has been a warm(ish) winter so far. 

They wanted “Better access to Women’s Health Care” (free shit for those born with a vagina).

There was the expected ‘Trump Must Go”. signage.

They marched to “Support Women Everywhere”  and to “Empower” women (ever notice that most women use the term, but really can’t specify how their actions “Empower” anyone?

Altogether, this was a bunch of women marching…..just that, no real message, no focus, no real goal. Just because apparently a bunch of women need to get together and chant in shrill voices about how bad their role in life is.

I have yet to see them ever accomplish any change. 

Eric O. (not the bro)

How does the government honor him? By ignoring his actual birthday and moving it to the 20th of January (a Monday) so that Government workers can have a three day weekend.

Sad, really.
