March for Life Art Contrasts with Vulgar Signs at Women’s March in 30 Photos

National Review

"This weekend, Americans traveled from across the country to Washington, D.C., to participate in the March for Life and the Women’s March by walking with their poster art. While the pro-life marchers’ art focused on women and unborn life, the posters of Women’s March attendees, including small children, displayed anti-Trump messages along with vulgar imagery and words.
"The Women’s March began Saturday morning at Freedom Plaza. The protest, which features a slew of liberal talking points, began in 2017 in response to the election of the president. While the first march boasted hundreds of thousands in Washington, D.C., the 2019 march appeared much smaller." . . .

. . . "The preceding day, the March for Life had gathered at the National Mall and proceeded down Constitution Avenue to end in front of the Supreme Court. For 46 years the March has challenged Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in America. Each year, the march attracts tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pro-life citizens. " . . .

Democrats spite: Obama's shutdown and Schumer/Pelosi's shutdown.

McConnell: Senate will vote next week on Trump plan  . . . "The Kentucky Republican’s move to bring the deal up for a vote will put political pressure on Democrats in both chambers, who through their leaders publicly rejected Trump’s proposal Saturday afternoon.
"It would take 60 votes to advance the measure in the Senate, which means Republicans will need the support of seven Democrats to pass the measure, assuming no GOP lawmakers vote against it."  . . .

Trump Makes His Offer: DACA Extension For Wall   "Pelosi already said she would reject it. But then she has the DACA folks on her back and it’s on her."

Trump offers immigration compromise to end partial shutdown; Dems cool to offer
. . . "He said that all his proposals have been supported by Democrats before." . . .
The President promised to fix the problem "one way or the other".

Politico: Democrats reject Trump’s bid to negotiate on immigration for his wall
. . . "But the approach had already been rejected by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats who said it largely repackaged a proposal that had failed earlier. Pelosi called the idea a "non-starter," and Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also panned the proposal as a way to reopen the government, even though Trump's plan cribbed from Durbin's own legislation.

"The move offered little hope for ending the government shutdown, which entered its fifth week Saturday. The Senate was in for fewer than two hours on Saturday, and then split until Tuesday, suggesting little urgency is afoot to reopen the government.

"White House officials on Saturday did not dismiss the prospect of an emergency declaration if the legislation fails." . . .

PJ Media: Democrats Immediately Reject Trump's Offer to End Shutdown

President Trump leaves the podium after speaking about the partial
 government shutdown, immigration and border security in the
Diplomatic Reception Room  of the White House, Saturday, Jan. 19

 . . . "Both sides have gone so far out on their respective limbs that climbing down is not an option politically. Trump believes he can afford to wait out Democrats because the shutdown is playing well with his base (although less so than a few weeks ago). Pelosi and Schumer believe they hold the whip hand with the voters who are blaming Trump for the mess.

"After nearly a month, it's clear that the government is not going to fall apart if the shutdown continues. This gives both sides zero incentive to end it. There is some worry that the impasse is impacting the economy and if that happens, Trump may see the diminishing returns as a signal to get what he can and fold.

"It's pretty clear that the shutdown won't end anytime soon."

Manufacturing man puts Gillette’s ‘toxic masculinity’ to shame with a powerful viral video of his own

BPR  "Egard Watches, a 7-year-old manufacturing company, and distributor of intricately designed “timepieces,” published a formal “response” to Gillette’s controversial “toxic masculinity” ad.
"Published on YouTube Tuesday, two days after Gillette published an advertisement that appeared to smear all men as predatory bullies suffering from so-called “toxic masculinity,” Egard Watches’ ad instead celebrates the many sacrifices men make daily in their lives on behalf of others.
“What is a man? Is a man brave? Is a man a hero? Is a man a protector? Is a man vulnerable? Is a man disposable? Is a man broken? Is a man trying? We see the good in men,” a narrator says as shocking
“ 'What is a statistics about the reality of manhood appear across the bottom of the screen.

ARIEL DUMAS 'Late Show' Writer: 'I'm Just GLAD We RUINED Brett Kavanaugh's LIFE'     "These are the kinds of women we protect from Violent Sexual Abuse Offenders. The Vitriol and Hatred that Defines their Character has made our Culture and Society a Dysfunctional, Self Serving Utopia for Those with Mental Illness and Hatred for those who guarantee their Freedoms, Liberties and Safety. How Dare She Use her Privileged Platform to speak for Women. It's what happens when our Youth embrace Societies Lowest Common Denominators! This is a Horrible Human Being!"

"In a social media post on Saturday, a writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" seemingly celebrated the damage done to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's reputation during his bruising and bitterly partisan confirmation battle.
 "Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life," the writer, Ariel Dumas, posted on Twitter. Dumas later briefly made her account private, preventing others from viewing her posts without her approval.

"Her tweet came as the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by a 50-48 vote, with Republicans saying that the several allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct brought against him simply lacked sufficient corroboration and credibility. . . .

Lift Up Your Hearts: The Democrats Are in a Shambles

Conrad Black  "It is time to rekindle our political spirits in this new year, and to take stock of the subjects of encouragement.

  "First, the takeover of the House of Representatives by the Democrats was, on balance, not as jarring to the vital organs as was feared. As a figure of horror, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has become almost like Bette Davis, one can believe she just acts the part, though she acts it convincingly. And she has earned her spurs as a Democratic legislator with staying power, the first speaker to serve non-consecutive terms since Sam Rayburn (D-Texas). She certainly didn’t get much back-talk from all those bushy-tailed Democrats who were going to send her off to knit antimacassars for her grandchildren. She does not, however, appear to be an effective spokesperson as leader of the opposition, and is strangely inarticulate for someone who must have spent more time in public speaking for the last 40 years than almost anyone in the country.

"A second source of happiness, despite the Democrats’ window-rattling ululations of joy, is that they have no mandate to do anything, and they have taken the bait the president dangled to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Pelosi at the White House three weeks ago. The Democratic leadership seems to think they can convince the country that the well-being of 800,000 federal employees, which could be ameliorated without capitulating on the spending bill, is more important than dealing with the protracted shambles in immigration, which most Americans acknowledge to be the country’s greatest problem.

All Three Networks Ignore ‘March For Life,’ Cover Pro-Abortion ‘Women’s March’ Instead

March for Life Crowd Size: How Many Attended the 2019 Event? [PHOTOS]

Daily Wire  "On its 46th anniversary, all three major networks (ABC, NBC, and CBS) ignored the March for Life in Washington, D.C., the largest pro-life event in the nation, opting instead to cover the feminist Women's March rally.

"According to LifeNews, despite an estimated 100,000 people being in attendance at the pro-life march along with President Trump's address to the crowd via video, the left-wing machines could not so much as "give a passing mention to the March for Life" during the Friday morning shows.

" 'It seems an anti-Trump march happening tomorrow is more interesting to the networks," reports the outlet. "CBS gave a whole segment to the feminist, anti-Semitic 'Women’s March' scheduled for Saturday but didn’t even give a passing mention to the March for Life. ABC and NBC had plenty of time to give to fluff stories Friday morning, from Meghan Markle’s fashion, to 'nomophobia' which is an addiction to one’s phone."
"The networks never learn it seems, and have continually blackballed the March for Life. In 2017, President Trump left reporter David Muir speechless when he told him directly to his face that the press refuses to cover the march.
“ 'Let me just ask you while we’re standing outside, could you hear the voices from the Women's March here in Washington," Muir asked President Trump during the interview.

CNN's website has nothing we could find as of Saturday on the March For Life. The closest CNN came was this post on "inclusion".

Letters: Media ignores March for Life, lavishes coverage on Women's March  . . . "Once again, there was a lengthy article covering the Women's March in Sunday's Free Press, complete with several large photos, including all the information regarding times and locations. There is always an obvious positive reference to abortion rights, euphemistically known as women's reproductive rights, one of the main reasons often stated for the march." . . .

Gillette: "Get Woke, Go Broke"

Ghenghis Gary

Gillette's likeliness-to-buy among consumers drops 4 points after 'toxic masculinity' ad  "Gillette and its politically correct enablers have been trying to spin that godawful ad the company ran, hectoring its own customers about 'toxic masculinity,' as a success, but buried in the details, there's one little problem:
"Likeliness to buy has dropped in the wake of the fiasco. That means 'buying' which is the whole purpose of advertising. According to a post-ad survey by Morning Consult, a left-leaning consulting group that says it's 'trusted' by Politico and the New York Times:

In the two weeks before the campaign launch, 69 percent of Americans said they would consider purchasing products from Gillette. In the two days following the ad, that moved to 65 percent. 

"Morning Consult dismisses this number as insignificant in the context of the positive polling responses it says customers gave, but four points seems like a lot in just two days in the wake of such a controversy. When you hear about a tsunami or a wildfire leaving four dead in the first hour of its occurence, you know that's a figure that's going to go up. What it sounds like from this side is people lying to pollsters, saying they are all in for social justice to seem like good people - and then voting with their feet." . . .

 

 

Kurt Schlichter:  We Need To Retoxify Masculinity  "Let’s be clear: My pronouns are “he,” “his,” and “stop being creepy weirdos.”

"Okay, maybe the last one isn’t a pronoun, but then again, I’m a man and if I want an insulting string of words directed at the nattering nabobs of gender neutrality to be a pronoun, it is a pronoun. And if you don’t like it, fight me.
"We need more masculinity, and the more toxic the social justice warriors think it is, the better.
"Bizarrely, now shaving companies are allying with the SJWs in an Axis of Irritants. Gillette is channeling campus gender studies dorks to try to sell you razors. They all think you should soften up, get in touch with your feelings, and submit." . . .
