The Bible Thumpers in Indiana have figured out another way to harass women seeking an abortion.  You’d think they’d have exhausted all options, but noooooo….

A new state law directs Indiana doctors and hospitals to compile and submit a detailed report every time a woman seeks treatment for a physical or psychological condition that is in any way connected to a past abortion.

Starting next year, a care provider who fails to submit an “abortion complications” report to the State Department of Health risks being charged with a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, for each instance of noncompliance.

The government has no damn business knowing my mental or physical state.

So I wonder if they plan on repealing Hipaa laws or just ignore them and hope nobody notices.

How ’bout this?  How ’bout the State of Indiana gather data and a psychological profile of anyone who owns an assault rifle?  How’s that fit in your underwear, Bubba?

Thanks for the heads up to “So mad I could spit nails at the IN legislature”

It’s Day 114 and Congressvarmint Blake Farenthold still has not repaid the $84,000 he took of your money to pay off a woman he sexually harassed.  He promised he would, but I think he’s spending it on Root Beer Floats at the Dairy Queen and saving up for his next sexual harassment lawsuit.

I say we should be able to take it out of his paycheck.  He’s leaving congress at the end of his term so we better get it before he skips town with your money.

His phone number is 361-884-2222 if you want to call him and give him a friend reminder that he owes you $84,000.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.

The NRA has fessed-up that they take “foreign money” (Read Russian) and that they move it around between their accounts.

It would take a bloodhound with a roadmap, a compass, a sextant and Kemo Sabe to trace that money.  Hell, they probably bought and sold crap on Ebay to cover their money trails.

“While we do receive some contributions from foreign individuals and entities, those contributions are made directly to the NRA for lawful purposes,” Frazer wrote to Wyden. “Our review of our records has found no foreign donations in connection with a United States election, either directly or through a conduit.”

And we should just believe you because …. ?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Well, lookie here.

A Nevada congressman told a local news station that there is a ‘rumor’ that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan could soon be resigning.

Representative Mark Amodei told Nevada Newsmakers on that Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and he will be replaced by Representative Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana).

Supposedly, Ryan is resigning to start his run for the presidency.  Yeah, him and about 20 other white men.

Personally I think he’s resigning because everybody else is and holy cow it isn’t like he has any control over anything in DeeCee.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

UPDATE: Well, Senator Cruz has announced his announcement party.  Y’all, it’s here in my county at the … oh dear Lord … The Redneck Country Club.

First, thumb through their pictures and see if you can find anybody who ain’t white and redneck.  No, you cannot.

Now look at their membership levels.  Click on the guns on the left side of the page to see the cost and benefits.

That’s his base, my friends.  And they vote.

So now the White House is saying that they will not fund programs that “failed to meet their objectives.”

So they want to defund Meals on Wheels but let cabinet secretaries buy $30,000 tables, let Scott Pruitt live large and Ryan Zinke flit around the country with charter airplanes and charge the taxpayers.

Here’s a video of Jim Acosta eating White House budget director Mick Mulvaney for lunch.

Holy damn crap.  The Trump budget also cuts Head Start, home energy aid and rental assistance.  Which would likely hurt the single mother with two children in Detroit who he claims he’s trying to help.

You’ll notice that Trump’s budget does not cut taxes of single mothers with two children in Detroit.  Trump simply wants to defund Means on Wheels and give the money to the Pentagon. If you want to talk about a “program that does not meet their objectives,” the Pentagon would be a damn dandy place to start.

Nice going Acosta.  Hold their feet to the fire.

Thanks to Donna for the heads up.
