"Marsha Blackburn is a Liar"! Tag Loudon ne of Bredesen's latest ad.

Here in TN, former much respected Dem Governor is running for Corker’s Senate seat against right-wing, batshit crazy Marsha Blackburn.

He called her out by having women who worked for him in business, when he was mayor of Nashville, and when he was Governor, speak emphatically about how he has always had zero tolerance for sexual harassment. They closed with “Marsha Blackburn is a liar! A liar. A liar. A liar.”

It did m heart good to hear her called what she is.

Too old to go to Women's March so we're sponsoring college students so that they can go.

At 70+ with some health issues, it's not wise for me to go to the Women's March in January though I'd love to. Long bus ride, sleeping on the bus, long distance walking, etc.

But, my friends and I have some $$ so I suggested that we sponsor young women to attend. They have the stamina but not the $$. We have some $$ but not the stamina. And, it would get some young people involved and committed to political activism at least for this. I can only imagine how inspiring it will be.

So, we contacted a College nearby, my friend had a contact there, and so far we have 25-30 young women who want to go. We can help them with more fund-raising, just to be sure they've got skin in the game, but we can help with a large part of the expenses.

Another friend is working with a college in the middle part of the state and thinks they have 10-20 who'll commit.

So even when we can't do something, we can help others do it. And, it has the benefit of getting young people more involved the political process. We're thinking it could be a win-win-win operation.

Kushner's new, deeper voice. What's up with that?

He no longer sounds like a girl.

Has he been working with a voice coach? Deeper, husky sound now.

"It's about punishing everyone who looks like Brett Kavanaugh" says Tucker Carlson

https://www.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlson-apos-punishing-everybody-121652615.html

“Democrats aren’t looking for justice here,” Carlson said. “They want a revolution. For 60 years they’ve been telling us that it is immoral to judge people by their skin color and they were right about that. Absolutely right. They put up a monument to Martin Luther King on the National Mall just in case we forgot. And yet, suddenly, without notifying the rest of us, they have changed the rules. Anyone who doesn’t judge others on the basis of skin color, is, wait for it now, a bigot. Refuse to commit racism? You’re a racist.”
