Michelle Obama couldn't be more wrong about women Trump voters
I'm a pro-choice feminist — and a Democrat — who just happened to vote for Donald Trump for president. And I resent Michelle Obama's sneering, demeaning, strangely ignorant and massively sexist remarks about women, our reproductive systems and, especially, our vote.
In the latest episode of the podcast, 'IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,'' the former first lady and lefty pro-abortion activist mounted her high horse and disgracefully disparaged a woman's decision to exercise her right to choose what to do with her body. That is, when that choice is to have a baby.
On the podcast she shares with her celebricat brother, the 61-year-old mother of two daughters, insanely breathed strength into the pro-life crowd by declaring bizarrely that creating life is 'the least' of what a woman's reproductive system does.

'I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there's just so much more at stake and because so many men have no idea about what women go through,' Obama said, delving treacherously close to Democratic-style word salad. 'Women's reproductive health is about our life. It's about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life.'
When does a reproductive system have nothing to do with reproduction?
Willful ignorance
Mrs. O showed stupendously willful ignorance about her fellow ladies' inner workings.

'It's a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that's producing it — if you want to whittle us down to a machine — is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way,' Obama added.
I guess she missed that day in biology class.
Speaking with OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, whose husband, Eric Holder, served as attorney general under former President Barack Obama, Michelle then took aim at the male of the species.

She attacked guys who, she said, 'sit on their hands' over abortion and are choosing to 'trade out women's health for a tax break or whatever it is.''
But the crescendo came when she denounced women like me of handing the election to President Trump because — get this — we were too stupid or timid to vote for the worst candidate ever to grace a ballot, simply because she is female.
In Obama's world, we voted for Trump to please men.
Seriously?

'There are a lot of men who have big chairs at their tables, there are a lot of women who vote the way their man is going to vote,'' she actually said. 'It happened in this election.'
So there it is. Michelle Obama, pretend women's rights warrior, is so condescending to the fairer sex, she insults millions of people bearing XX chromosomes by claiming they were merely trying to please 'their'' man by going for Trump.
Hey Michelle — sorry to stick a fork into your Trump Derangement Syndrome — but I, for one, simply voted my mind, my heart, my pocketbook and, yes, my reproductive organs. Despite Democratic hysteria, it's clear to me that the president has no intention of eliminating abortion rights throughout this country.
Own opinions
There also exist many other issues that concern me. These include runaway crime, the largesse afforded by the previous presidential administration to countless numbers of illegal immigrants, including violent criminals.
There's also epic inflation and unchecked antisemitism on college campuses and elsewhere. There's more, but that's a start.
In each case, things got so out of hand, I believed Trump had the best chance of saving this nation.

He couldn't do any worse.
I'm no shrinking violet, Michelle. I believe in equal rights — for everyone.
And I believe my man is entitled to his own opinions.

Joe Walsh says he's becoming a Democrat
Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman, said on Tuesday he is becoming a Democrat, marking the end of his five-year streak as a political independent after leaving the GOP in 2020. Walsh announced his formal affiliation with the Democratic Party in a Tuesday Substack post, saying he made the decision because he views the Republican Party as a threat to democracy and the rule of law and thinks defeating the GOP requires 'a broad coalition of moderates, progressives, and, yes, even conservatives.' 'Three words I never thought I'd ever utter: I'm a Democrat. This former Republican Congressman, former Republican candidate for President, this former TEA Party champion is formally joining the Democratic Party. The stakes are simply too high to NOT become a Democrat,' Walsh wrote in his Substack post, before outlining his reasoning. 'Let's start with the obvious—a tyrant sits in the White House. The very thing our Founders feared most is here. Throw in the fact that one of our two major political parties is a real and direct threat to democracy and the rule of law. These are unprecedented, dangerous times in America. I know it. You know it. There are even Republicans who know it,' he continued. Walsh challenged Trump for the GOP nomination in the 2020 presidential race but dropped out after performing poorly in the Iowa caucuses. He quickly left the party and became a vocal critic of Trump. He endorsed former President Biden in 2020. Walsh has been unaffiliated for the last five years but said in his Substack post that Trump critics who are holding out hope for a third party are misguided. 'Without freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, America ceases to be. And currently, only the Democratic Party is on the side of all three of these core American values,' he wrote. 'There isn't a third party coming to the rescue any time soon,' he continued. 'Right now, the Democratic Party is democracy's lone defender and best hope.' Walsh acknowledged some issues with the Democratic party but said 'for democracy and the rule of law to persevere, Democrats must succeed' — which necessitates becoming a 'big tent' party and learning how to fight against Trump's GOP. 'Take it from a former Republican fighter,' he wrote. 'Republicans fight to the death to win politically, and they've always believed Democrats won't. I've been a fighter my whole life, and if there's ever been a moment when Americans are crying out for a Democratic Party with some fight, it's now.' He added: 'And look, here's the thing. We're gonna need a HUGE tent to defeat this Republican Party,' he wrote. 'We're gonna need a Democratic tent big enough to hold both a conservative like Joe Walsh and a progressive like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. I want to help build that big tent because I want to win, and…Trump's Republican Party must lose.' Walsh also reflected on his political and personal journey, saying he still is 'a border hawk, an unabashed gun rights advocate, and an unyielding defender of free speech. But I'm not the same guy as I was 15 years ago, or even eight years ago.' 'I've opened my eyes and listened to people who don't think like me,' he continued. 'And by doing so, I gained a greater understanding of and appreciation for LGBTQ issues, structural racism, the need for empathetic immigration reform, the dangers of climate change, and the role government must play to help care for the neediest and most vulnerable among us.' Walsh said he's more compassionate and sees the importance of decency, tolerance, understanding and empathy in politics, saying only the Democratic Party 'values and practices these traits.' 'Donald Trump is the worst of us, and, sadly, the rest of the Republican Party emulates his cruelty, dishonesty, and authoritarianism,' he continued. 'We're better than what we've seen every day these past four months. America is better than this. As a former Republican, I know that cruelty sells. Well, it's time for decency to sell.'

Reading City Council calls for increase in PA minimum wage
City Council is calling on the state Legislature to increase Pennsylvania's minimum wage. Council recently unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Councilman Jaime Baez Jr. urging the state Senate to approve House Bill 1150. The bill, proposed by state Rep. G. Roni Green, a Philadelphia Democrat, would raise the hourly minimum wage to $15 from $7.25, beginning Jan. 1. It would also require that any future minimum wage legislation include an annual cost of living adjustment and lift the current state restrictions that keep municipalities from setting their own minimum wage standards or other wage-related regulations. 'I want to thank Rep. Roni Green for presenting this, and I want to thank the House Representatives for continuing to pass not only one year but multiple years of minimum wage legislation,' Baez said. Baez, who last year introduced a similar resolution also passed by council, said previous efforts to raise the minimum wage got stuck in the state Senate. Reading City Council calls for increase in Pennsylvania's minimum hourly wage 'So I urge the public, those who are watching, those here present, including ourselves as councilors, and those present here in the audience, to reach out to your state senators to apply some pressure,' Baez said. 'Make sure you're emailing, calling, letting them know that this is necessary.' Green in a February memo to fellow House members said it is impossible to raise a family on Pennsylvania's current minimum wage. 'Even households of one cannot feed themselves, pay rent and utilities, and save for their future on a $7.25 per hour wage,' she wrote. Pennsylvania last raised its hourly minimum wage to $7.25 from $7.15 in 2009, when the federal minimum wage was increased to $7.25 from $6.55. Currently, 34 states, territories and districts have minimum wages above the federal minimum wage, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures' website, The District of Columbia, at $17 per hour, has the highest minimum wage, followed by Washington at $16.28 per hour. New Jersey's new hourly minimum wage of $15.13 for most employees took effect at the start of last year. For seasonal and small employers, that state's minimum is lower: $13.73 up from $12.93. New York also raised its hourly minimum wage, effective Jan. 1, 2024, to $16 in New York City, Long Island and Westchester County and $15 in the rest of the state. 'I have to say that I think we all love Pennsylvania, but sometimes Pennsylvania is way behind a lot of other states in many ways, Council President Donna Reed said. 'The fact that all our surrounding states have pretty much improved their minimum wage and we are still at a minimum wage that is 20-plus years old is absurd.' Reed thanked Baez for introducing the resolution and urged city residents to contact their state senators and ask them to adopt the bill. 'Whenever you can, however you can, call them, write emails, get to Harrisburg, visit their offices,' she said. Several residents, including representatives of the advocacy organization Berks Stands Up, spoke to council during the public comment period. They urged council members to support the resolution. Jae Elizabeth Giesen said she has a college degree and has held a job in Reading for the past eight years. She would like to move out of her parents' home, but at current rental rates she cannot afford an apartment on her own. 'The only reason I'm able to keep myself going right now is because I have the support of my parents,' she said, urging council to pass the resolution. City Managing Director Jack Gombach read a statement from Mayor Eddie Moran, who also urged the Senate to take action to increase the minimum wage. The city raised the minimum starting wages for its employees, the mayor said, because it was the right thing to do. 'Now it's time for the state to follow,' he said. 'I strongly support raising Pennsylvania's minimum wage to $15 an hour and urge the Legislature to pass HB 1150. Let's make sure everyone who works hard has a fair shot to build a better life.'

People Are Being 'Mean' About FEMA Chief's Hurricane Comment, DHS Says
The Department of Homeland Security says people are being a little too mean after acting FEMA head David Richardson said he didn't know the United States had a hurricane season. Richardson, who has led the emergency aid agency since last month, made the comment at a briefing on Monday that was first reported by Reuters. The U.S. hurricane season began Sunday and will end in late November. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts 'above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year,' with as many as 10 hurricanes on the forecast. The national reaction to Richardson's comment has been one of shock, disbelief, and outrage, with many Democratic lawmakers swiftly calling for his removal. But DHS, which oversees FEMA, says people are being a bit too mean. 'Despite meanspirited attempts to falsely frame a joke as policy, there is no uncertainty about what FEMA will be doing this Hurricane Season,' a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to media outlets. 'FEMA is laser focused on disaster response, and protecting the American people.' Richardson initially joined the Trump administration in January as assistant secretary for DHS's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, after previously serving in the United States Marine Corps as a ground combat officer. His qualifications to lead FEMA are unclear.
