Thousands Of Women Will Wear Pink, Knitted ‘Pussy Power Hats’ To Protest Trump
[DAILYCALLER] Women all across America are planning to festoon themselves with knitted, pink "pussy power hats" during a march on Washington, D.C. -- and other cities -- scheduled for January 21, the day after Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s presidential inauguration.
President Trump, if he sees them, will absently note which are not flattered by that particular colour. He's detail-oriented like that.
The organizers of the Pussyhat Project hope to make "a powerful visual statement" at the Women’s March on Washington by having a large number of women show up wearing the hats.

The "pussy power hats," which feature perky cat-like ears,
...a design utterly suitable for girls up to the age of seven years...
are a cinch to make, organizers say. "Knitters, crocheters and sewers of all levels" can make the hats at home -- preferably with neon pink yarn.

The ribald name of the hats is an obvious reference to Trump’s notorious "grab them by the pussy" statements.

#7  I think BP is on to something! I think Trump is secretly arranging all these stoopid protests to make himself look better!

That'll probably come out after they all flop, or no one shows, or there are mass disasters and the progs need to blame someone.

You heard it here first!

#8  I think BP is on to something! I think Trump is secretly arranging all these stoopid protests to make himself look better!

When over 50% of a feckless public votes for a deranged criminal conspirator and rent-seeking thief, no 'arrangement' is necessary. The insanity is already baked in.

#9  BP and others I have seen are right.

You know how you got Trump? This is how you got Trump.

Keep it up and you will have 8 years of Trump.

#10  I had a little debate this am on FB with a BLM organizer/supporter. Of course I'm spewing "hatred", you know, simply for pointing out that while black lives 'matter' (because blacks have been horribly discriminated against and we need to work on fixing that), the BLM movement is a fraud.

As is Code Pink and the rest.

So yes, all they're doing is convincing people that their vote for Trump was a smart one.

#13  I'm picturing an army of burly bikers, all wearing knit pink hats with perky p3nis-like ears. I have a dream...
No alcohol tonight. Report to sick-call first thing tomorrow morning.

#14  50% of a feckless public

More like 25% as half the people usually don't vote, and they are the ones hopefully noticing.

Anti-Police Painting to Be Removed Permanently From Capitol Tunnel
[Free Beacon] A painting that depicts police officers as pigs and has been hanging in a tunnel of the Capitol will be permanently removed next week.

The painting was part of a congressional art competition and hung in the tunnel between the Cannon House Office Building and the Capitol. The artwork was sponsored by Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr. (D., Mo.), who represents much of the St. Louis area, including Ferguson, Missouri. The painting by a then-high school student from Clay’s district depicts police officers as what appears to be pigs pointing guns at black men.

The artwork has been criticized by police groups nationwide. It received national attention after Rep. Duncan Hunter (R., Calif.) personally removed the piece last week and delivered it to Clay’s office. Clay then rehung the painting on Tuesday, only for it to be removed by another congressman, rehung by Clay once more, and removed again by two more lawmakers. Clay put up the artwork again, where it has stayed. However, someone placed a pro-police flag above it recently.

Rep. Dave Reichert (D., Wash.) filed a complaint on Wednesday over the artwork with the office of the Architect of the Capitol, who notified House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) that it would come down for good, the Hill reported. It was determined that the painting violated the art competition rules, which prohibit "subjects of contemporary political controversy or a sensationalistic or gruesome nature."

The painting will be removed on Tuesday.

#1  I am awaiting the discovery that the painting was a 'fake' and no children were involved in it's creation.

#2  Why not call it Police-hate?

#3  no children were involved in it's creation

Children involved, perhaps, in its painting; likely not in its imagery and layout. Certainly not in its political messaging.

Upon close examination, my thoughts as well. Nothing like crediting....'the children.'

#5  Ages ago, I took on a miserable part-time online job of grading elementary school student essays. Specific identification data was removed. However, there was enough information to identify them as written by fifth graders in Philadelphia.

Grading was based on spelling, grammar and structure, not content. Just as well, considering many read like a bad Spike Lee movie plot or Louis Farrakhan on a peyote bender. Others were simply heartbreaking.

I suspect this "art" has the same, albeit more technically advanced and socially impregnated origins.

Entitlement Programs gained tens of thousands of beneficiaries during Obama regime
All in accordance with the Dem vote buying plan.
[Free Beacon] Entitlement programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps have gained tens of thousands of beneficiaries under the Obama administration.

Medicaid, the program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals, greatly expanded during Obama’s time in office, largely due to its expansion in the Affordable Care Act.

When Obama took office in 2009, there were 60,880,000 Medicaid beneficiaries, according to the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission. As of March 2016, there were 74,059,221 enrollees, an increase of over 13 million.

"Historically, Medicaid eligibility has generally been limited to low-income children, pregnant women, parents of dependent children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities; however, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act included the ACA Medicaid expansion, which expands Medicaid eligibility to individuals under the age of 65 with income up to 133% of the federal poverty level at state option," explains the Congressional Research Service.

#1  Still cheaper than employing these people in Public sector white collar jobs.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 01/16/2017 7:05 Comments || Top||

#2  Still cheaper than employing these people in Public sector white collar jobs.

It's a two part strategy. 'Public sector' employment being the second part. Your tax dollar funds both.

#3  When Obama took office in 2009, there were 60,880,000 Medicaid beneficiaries, according to the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission. As of March 2016, there were 74,059,221 enrollees, an increase of over 13 million.

So which is it - tens of thousands or 13 million?

#4  Warm up the economy so there are more well-paying jobs, and many of those now drawing assistance won't need it anymore -- virtuous cycle stuff. Let the illegals continue to self-deport in fear of that monster, President Trump, as they have been in recent weeks, and those jobs will open up to those here legally; they, too, won't need assistance anymore. Reverse the definition of full time to the traditional 40 hours per week... and so forth.

And then far fewer government white collar workers will be needed to administer the programs.

Talk radio's Laura Ingraham eyes Senate bid
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The queen of conservative talk radio, Laura Ingraham, is eyeing a Senate run in Virginia and a challenge to Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine.

Knowledgeable sources said that several party insiders have approached the media giant to run and that she is considering it.

In preparation for a bid, her business partner, Peter Anthony, has begun buying website domains for Ingraham to use should she decide to move forward.

#1  No. There are better candidates.
Posted by: Injun Bucket8891 || 01/16/2017 4:57 Comments || Top||

#2  I noticed recently that she had stopped wearing her signature cross, which would be a prerequisite for running for political office in Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, King George, Loudoun, and Prince William County counties.
Posted by: Besoeker || 01/16/2017 8:17 Comments || Top||

#3  If she ditched her Medal to make herself more acceptable to voters, she doesn't deserve the office. I hope that isn't true. I think she is better than that.


Posted by: Sgt.D.T. || 01/16/2017 15:56 Comments || Top||

#4  Yes, I hope I have it wrong.
Posted by: Besoeker || 01/16/2017 15:57 Comments || Top||

#5  I've also seen that some want her to run for governor instead of the senate.
Posted by: Jeasing Creque5352 || 01/16/2017 16:52 Comments || Top||

#6  Governor is a big and lonely step for someone who no political experience. She'll be more useful if she starts as a mayor or a state level representative first, like President Obama did.
