The Sneauflayke Edition

In other news … and I do mean news, this is true, not fake news … a professor at Loyola University in New Orleans called the cops because one of the students in his class was carrying a gun.

The student in question was a police officer who had not had time to change into civvies between his shift protecting and defending morons from themselves and his class.

So, yeah, the professor called the cops to come and rescue them all from a cop. Ummmm.

Fortunately, the cops told said professor that the student was well within his rights to attend class in uniform (the gun is part of the uniform) and so they would decline the opportunity to waste time coming on campus, cuz they had, you know, like, actual crimes to worry about.

The ABC Connection

There are literally dozens of studies showing that women who undergo induced abortions have a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

Predictably, the abortion industry pooh-poohs the idea, calling the evidence “weak” and “meaningless.”  Well, duh.  They don’t want pregnant women having any information that might dissuade them from paying for an abortion, even if it involves something DEADLY, like breast cancer, that they claim to care about so much.

Sadly for women who trust abortion providers to give them accurate information, the ABC connection is real.

The ABC connection in INDIA:

Twelve out of twelve studies of breast cancer in India show an increased risk for women who had had abortions.  These findings are important because women in India marry early, do not use the pill, have multiple pregnancies, and breastfeed their babies. In other words, all of the other major risk factors for breast cancer are absent.  The Indian studies also showed that abortion was a stronger risk factor than those affecting Indian women, namely advanced age, having a family history of breast cancer, or being childless.

The ABC connection in CHINA:

A huge meta-analysis of 36 studies done in Mainland China showed a statistically significant risk of breast cancer following abortion. For Chinese women who have had one or more induced abortions, the increased risk was 44%. The risk jumped to 76% for women who had had two or more previous abortions.

Hillary Clinton At Reid Retirement Party: ‘Not The Speech I Expected To Give At The Capitol After The Election…’
Hillary Clinton referenced her monumental loss to Donald Trump during her first appearance on Capitol Hill since the election.
“After a few selfies taken in the woods, I am thankful to be here.”
“I grateful to Senator Reid for inviting me,” she said.

Good riddance Harry Reid
This is Reid’s morality: Win, at any cost, by any means necessary. It’s a toxic worldview, and his years as a Senate leader have poisoned the institution he professes to love.
With a simple majority vote and over strenuous objections from members of both parties, Reid torched decades of Senate precedent by taking away the Senate minority’s ability to block most presidential nominations.

Obama to appear on ‘The Daily Show’ with Trevor Noah
“As this unprecedented election year comes to an end, President Barack Obama will appear as a guest on ‘The Daily Show with Trevor Noah’ on Monday, December 12,” Comedy Central said in a statement.
The show segment will be recorded inside the White House and will air at 11 p.m. It will also likely be Obama’s very last appearance on the program as president.

I ‘absolutely’ suffered racism in office, says Obama: Some Americans’ ‘primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign’
The president discussed the issue in a special looking back on his legacy
‘I think there’s a reason why attitudes about my presidency among whites in Northern states are very different from whites in Southern states,’ he said
He told CNN: ‘Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign, the other? Are those who champion the “birther” movement feeding off of bias? Absolutely’
Obama’s successor, President-elect Donald Trump, promoted birther arguments but now says he believes Obama was born in the United States
According to Axelrod, at least one powerful Republican was disrespectful to Obama and said to him ‘We don’t really think you should be here’

John Kelly, Trump’s Homeland Security pick, gave a remarkable speech 4 days after his son died serving in Afghanistan

HOW WONDERFUL IT WILL BE TO HAVE PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER LEADING OUR COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN.
Four days earlier, Kelly’s 29-year-old son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly, stepped on a land mine while leading a patrol in southern Afghanistan. He was killed instantly.
John Kelly, President-elect Donald Trump’s reported pick for Homeland Security chief, never spoke of his fallen son by name during the speech to the Semper Fi Society that he had committed to give long before his son’s death. According to the Post, the elder Kelly made one request to the officer who introduced him: “Please don’t mention my son.”
Kelly, 66, is the highest-ranking military officer to lose a child in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan — a burden of war that thousands of so-called Gold Star military families like his must bear.

The collapse of the political Left
It’s been a tough decade for the political left. Eight years ago a Time magazine cover portrayed Barack Obama as Franklin Roosevelt, complete with cigarette and holder and a cover line proclaiming “The New New Deal.” A Newsweek cover announced “We Are All Socialists Now.”
Leftist politicians supposed that ordinary voters with modest incomes facing hard times would believe that regulation and redistribution would help them. Evidently most don’t.

The Pastor Is In
Pastor Gregory P. Fryer of New York City’s Immanuel Lutheran Church said the idea just came to him one day.
“I thought about it for years,” the 65-year-old told WNYW-TV, “but I’m getting older and I thought, ‘I better do it if I’m gonna do it.’”
So a desk and chair hit the corner of East 88th and Lexington outside the church, along with a couple of yellow signs: “Spiritual Help 5¢” and “The Pastor Is In.”
