There are fundraisers and then there are fundraisers. Let me tell you about two that are about as diametrically opposed as is possible.
First is a bowling fundraiser started by butt-ugly feminist-lesbian-frustrated she can’t get laid liberal stalwart Sally Kohn.
CNN’s Sally Kohn Sets Up Bowling for Abortion Fundraiser
CNN host Sally Kohn had an important PSA for her Twitter followers yesterday.
YOU GUYS!!! I’m bowling for abortion access. Donate now.
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) March 24, 2015
I’m bowling because I believe that everyone should have access to the abortions they need, regardless of how much money they have.
Because of unfair and unnecessary laws, safe and legal abortions can be out of reach of those who don’t have the money to pay for them. I don’t think that’s right, so I’m doing something about it. I’m bowling to break down barriers to abortion access.
Tempting. Yet, instead of joining her, many social media users responded in disgust.
But my hands down favorite had to be this message from The Blaze’s Dana Loesch, in which she used Kohn’s pro-abortion promotion to donate to the National Right to Life organization.
Just made a $100 donation in honor of @sallykohn to @nrlc . #DonateForSally #ProBaby — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 24, 2015
The other fundraiser was held March 14 for the bravest 6 year old I know, my grandson, Tyler.
It was well attended, and the total amount raised from the bowling, 50-50 raffle, and the silent auctions was not made public. He’s had good days and bad days, which I will go into at another time. Both of my daughters were there, as were their mothers. D#2’s mom I hadn’t seen since about 1985. She looks old.
This is Tyler, mom and grandma
DW AND I WERE THERE. THIS IS MY OLDEST DAUGHTERS’ DAUGHTER. SHE’S 13 AND EATS EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. HER METABOLISM MUST BE VERY HIGH BECAUSE SHE IS ONLY GROWING TALLER.
One fundraiser was to celebrate the slaughter of innocents, the other to help a precious child of God fight a deadly disease.

I just finished reading Nabeel Qureshi’s autobiography, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. It’s REALLY GOOD. I could only put it down when I was literally falling asleep. Read it all in two sessions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.
It gave me a much better understanding of why so many Muslims are so sure their religion is true and peaceful. And the media’s approach to Obama’s bad side is just the same. Qureshi was raised to believe a sanitized and saintly version of Muhammad and the Qur’an.
When he responded to the challenge to apply rigorous historical method to his faith, he was APPALLED at what he found. If you haven’t read it, get it. It’s quite possibly one of the most relevant books out there right now.

Afghan president: ‘We owe a profound debt’ to the United States
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in a Wednesday address to Congress thanked the American public and the U.S. military for making “great sacrifices” to help his country.
“We owe a profound debt to the 2,315 servicemen and women killed and the more than 20,000 who have been wounded in service to your country and ours,” Ghani said, noting that more than a million “brave Americans” had served in Afghanistan.

Cornell Dean Says ISIS Welcome on Campus in Undercover O’Keefe Project Veritas Video
A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.
Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp

War of the roses: Former White House floral designer’s look may have clashed with first lady’s according to sources
OFF WITH HER HEAD!!CRIED THE QUEEN
Former head florist Laura Dowling was hired amid fanfare but said to have been escorted from the White House in February
In this town, matters of taste — much like positions on marriage equality — can “evolve” over time. Just ask Dowling, who left because her “fussy style” was not in line with the first lady’s emerging modern and clean aesthetics, several sources said.

The conservative group Freedom Watch has filed a racketeering lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that accuses her of failing to produce documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The civil suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, argues that Clinton used her private emails to sell access to other officials in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Chairman Jason Chaffetz hammered Clancy on why it took 27 minutes to secure the scene. Chaffetz asked, ‘what if it was a real bomb?’
He then asked Clancy who he was going to hold accountable?
Clancy responded, ‘we’re going to wait.’ That’s when Chaffetz exclaimed, “that’s the problem!”

We’re getting our first real Spring thunderstorms today. Glad it’s in the 70s. This time of year, this could just as easily be ice. Anyway, we’ve had one brief wave, a pretty good gullywasher, with another heading our way. Possibly tornadoes, but more toward OKC than up our way. We can use the precipitation. We’re not as drought-stricken here as further west, but it’s been pretty dry. Lots of grassfires.
Drought, deluge, fire, lightning and thunder, whirlwinds, and wild temperature swings. Just another Spring day in the Land of the Red Man.
Here’s a few links from the heap o’ links for today.
