This is a year old -- obviously the gal who sent it to me is a bit behind the times -- but the sentiments still are good!
From Jack Kemp
Dana, and there is also this year old Youtube parody:

Woman Raped by Former Al Franken Intern Wants Senator’s Name off Sexual Assault Victims Bill
The 22-year-old woman who was brutally raped by a man who once interned for Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), and who reached out to the lawmaker about passing federal legislation to help sexual assault victims, now says she wants a new sponsor following the revelations about his own sexual misconduct.

You may have seen this on Fox News. Todd Starnes skewers the atheists who thought this one up.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/11/17/bird-brained-atheists-sue-shelter-over-blessing-animals.html
I particularly liked his comment about how his Southern Baptist relations bless their animals, usually along with gravy and BBQ sauce.
Earlier this year the church where Martha works invited people to bring in their pets for a blessing on St. Francis' Day. I took Bijou in -- showed up a few minutes late, uncharacteristically (can't remember why). Photo below. I was concerned about Bijou's possible behavior because he does not usually tolerate other dogs, but I remembered that if there are number of other dogs around, he generally lapses into submission. And Martha would be there, and he'd be able to sit with her when she wasn't on the piano bench.
Well, he was fussy at first, partly because his paws could get no traction on the highly-polished marble floor. And as he smelled many (not THAT many) other dogs, his senses went into high gear. But he stayed quiet, as did all the others. At one point in the (mercifully short) service, one dog barked ONCE.
The priest intoned the blessing while we all held our own dogs -- or laid hands on them if they were too large to pick up and hold. (Yes, there may have been a cat or two present.) And there were some huge ones indeed. A couple of German shepherds that looked like archetypical wolves -- beautiful beyond all description. Two or three other dogs of various sizes that were also beautiful. A couple of scruffy non-beauties. Various others. We all exited to the parking lot where there were doggie treats to be handed out, and of course there the noise began, as each dog rang in with his or her version of "I've been blessed. LOOK AT ME!" And each dog wanted to greet every other dog with a kind of "And bless YOU too, brother or sister" sort of camaraderie that I'm sure would have had a different dynamic in a different setting. They all seemed to understand what it was all about.
I really believe all dogs DO go to Heaven, at least if they've been properly trained. And Bijou was quite high-strung for the next three days.
I wonder if there are any atheists among dogs?
A word from Jack Kemp:
I once went to the Mormon Center in the West 60s in Manhattan to check out my grandparents ancestry and also the ancestry of a woman friend I knew. The Mormons keep the best records on this. I also know that they "baptize" every name entered into the Mormon Church - including deceased people. I figured as long as they weren't digging up graves or changing government records or sending me letters asking for money as "a fellow Mormon," I could let them have their fun. I don't think my late grandfather would have been a fan of the Osmonds.
And I didn't organize a protest in front of the Mormon Center.
This from Dana Mathewson:
A few summers ago we had, in this neighborhood, a couple of young Mormon "elders" riding around here on bicycles -- guys were in their 20's, which I though funny if you were going to call them "elders;" church must be having a hard time recruiting -- trying to find people to talk to. I'd be walking my dog and telling them I really couldn't concentrate on what they wanted to discuss, but didn't want to appear hostile (Mormons are about the most gracious folks you'll ever encounter, with the possible exception of waitresses in the diners in their small towns). I'd see them day after day and wish them good afternoon, and they REALLY wanted to talk, but I'd gently wave them off. Didn't want to tell them they'd been gulled by a cult, but would they like to come in for a glass of brandy? NO? Cup of coffee, perhaps? Naturally, I would NOT do that. After about three months they were gone, and they didn't show up the following year.

Minneapolis Airport: DHS Refuses to Divulge Names of ‘Muslim Community Members’ Who Got All-Access Tour of Security Measures
By Grizzly Joe - on November 16, 2017
Like many things "counter-jihad,†this story starts with a sharp eye seeing something that doesn’t seem quite right. "See something, say something.†In this case, a reporter for a local newspaper connects dots that our collective radar may have otherwise missed. The reporter writes a great piece that gets shared on social media (h/t Dr. Bill Warner @PoliticalIslam). The Geller Report spots a thread in that piece and runs with it. In short order, the greater community of counter-jihadists is aware of a problem that requires answers.
In short, on February 18, 2016, the Department of Homeland Security gave a group of "about 50 imams and other members of the Muslim community†[hereinafter "Muslim community membersâ€] a behind-the-scenes tour of Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport. From all appearances, it seems that this beneficent tour exposed security policies and procedures to the "Muslim community members.â€
Read the rest at Pam Geller's site.
This from Dana Mathewson
The Scott W. Johnson cited in the article is one of the proprietors of the Power Line blog which I frequent, and occasionally post articles from. No relation to the head of DHS at the time, the infamous Jeh Johnson.
I wonder if "we" can get this thing into Judicial Watch's hands in order for a heavier, "louder" FOI request? more...

I do NOT think this would have happened during the Obama Administration!

Franken is on the cover of the NY Post today, as was Anthony Weiner several times.
In this video from Rush Limbaugh, Franken is on the Senate floor talking about his not comprehending the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. It seems to me that Franken had his own version of Don't Ask Don't Tell when it came to sexual assaults.

Everybody Knew About Al Franken
Nov 16, 2017
RUSH: April 16th, 1976, Al Franken at Harvard — this is a story posted at the Harvard Crimson, the school newspaper. "I just don’t like homosexuals… Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.†That’s what Franken said in this Harvard Crimson story. Drudge has pulled that quote out of this story and that’s the link at the Drudge reported.
END
As Minnesotans know, Franken is up for reelection in 2020. If he loses, he now can not do ads for Target saying how there are no perverts who will enter the co-ed bathrooms at Target stores, that he insures the integrity of the place.

I'm sorry I let my sister-in-law loose in the Mall of America a few weeks ago, although she escaped unharmed. Not so for some other folks recently, though you'd not necessarily know it if your sole source of information was the infamous Star Tribune.

A good Barry Farber article.From WND.
From Tim:
When a conservative Republican decided to buck the system, that's when. I remember this same thing when Clarence Thomas was accused of harassment by Anita Hill "it's not the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge", a standard that was immediately dropped when Bill Clinton appeared on the scene.

Brian sends this our way. Looks like Claire mcCaskill is running scared And, as always, she is full of more balogna than a first rate deli in New York:
Did you see this article on the front page of the St. Joseph News-Press? It's about my testimony last week on behalf of Missouri's soybean and biodiesel producers, which create more than 17,000 jobs in our state.
READ THE FULL ARTICLE:
"McCaskill eyes ‘level playing field' in biodiesel market"
I wanted to make sure you saw it because protecting jobs in our state, and making sure that Missouri industries can compete on a level playing field, is so important to me. more...

The all red Gloria Allred has trotted out a woman claiming she was sexually assaulted by Roy Moore forty years ago to buttress the case made by another woman who claims Moore got handsy with her teenage self. Allred's client says Moore locked her in his car and tried to force her to fellate him. She also claims he signed her yearbook (with "Merry Christmas" for crying out loud) and that she had him banned from the mall where she worked.
Well, the yearbook signiature is in two different colored inks and appears to someho experts (who have not been allowed to examine the actual article) to be a forgery. Also, the woman's stepson says she is lying for money.
Now the woman's claim that she had Moore banned from the mall is falling apart.
