After Texas Slashed Its Family Planning Budget, Maternal Deaths Almost Doubled
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_....._dt_tw_top
Why, surely. Y’all do, because it dovetails with those pink tennis shoes and that hot blonde y’all thought could run the Lone Star State.
Problem is, those articles caused researchers to look further, and it turns out the rise in maternal deaths was a coding error in most cases. Instead of 147 deaths in 2012, there were only 56.
Approximately half (50.3%) of
obstetric-coded deaths showed no evidence of pregnancy
within 42 days, and a large majority of these incorrectly
indicated pregnancy at the time of death.
…
To determine which pregnancy status on the
death certificate was most often reported in error,
we compared differences in reported pregnancy status
among confirmed maternal deaths and deaths for
which we found no evidence of pregnancy using our
enhanced method. A majority of the 56 confirmed
maternal deaths (83.9%, n=47) had a correct pregnancy
status. In contrast, 82.4% of the 74 deaths found
to have no evidence of pregnancy had a false-positive
status indicating pregnancy at the time of death or
within 42 days of death (n=61).

MSNBC hosts noted anti-Semite for some anti-Trump commentary.
Valerie Plame said on MSNBC Friday that if President Trump pardoned Libby, it would show “that you can commit crimes against national security and you will be pardoned,” according to The Associated Press.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-.....bby-pardon
Plame tweeted a link to and initially defended a piece which contains this passage:
For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison — translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”
I wonder how Plame would want the TV screen to be labeled when Alan Dershowitz is being interviewed?

And of course plaintiff’s atty is permitted to telegraph it during opening and hammer on it during closing.

It took years of sustained day-and-night bombing to reduce Germany’s war production. It was never eliminated during the war. Why does anyone think a pinprick like last night’s will make a dent on Assad’s behavior?
Perhaps because Germany occupied numerous nations on two different continents by the time the massive bombing in response got underway. Meanwhile, Assad is in one relatively small area, and for awhile wasn’t even in full control of his own country’s regions.
Perhaps because the bombing was intended to send a message to Russia, not just to Assad, and Russia has done nothing in response.
Perhaps because it has been twice, now, that Trump has bombed Syria after Assad’s use of chemical weapons, and if we were accurate last night, we could be accurate if we decide to go after Assad, himself, next time around.
You’re a unique kind of dumbfuck, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

Following up on @ 38 in response to Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit @ 36:
Perhaps because the bombs we had available to us for use against Nazi Germany weren’t laser-guided, and didn’t include bunker-busters and MOABs.
Perhaps because Assad doesn’t have to worry merely about nations such as the US, France, and Britain, but also about the member nations who make up NATO.
And that little piece of land I like to call Israel, which borders Syria, has done very well in keeping Syria’s nuke aspirations in check, and which has nuclear capability just in case Assad gets a little too far out of hand.

[Doctor Dumbfuck scratches head]
… Trump! If you got this one right, give the man a cigar.
The trick to solving this puzzle is knowing how to count. For example, two follows one, and “second” follows “first,” second being equivalent to two and first being equivalent to one.
Therefore, if a given person does a thing twice, the first time he does it counts as one, and the second time he does it counts as two. Still with me? Good. Because where the inexorable logic of mathematics leads you is … if this is Trump’s second bombing of Syria, then there must also have been a first bombing of Syria by … Trump.
I hope this helps. Probably won’t, though, because you’re an incorrigible dumbfuck.

In 2012, President Barack Obama said the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime would not be tolerated. He said it would be “a red line for us.”
In August 2013, a chemical attack in the eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus killed more than 1,500 people, including hundreds of children. Horrific images circulated.
Obama gave a speech saying the U.S. should act against Syria. But he said Congress should authorize any military action.

Here’s one of Obama’s guys, who was right in the middle of it in 2013, making it clear that Obama blinked.
Former Obama Adviser Says Chemical Weapons Attack In Syria Must Have Consequences
OBAMA: After careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike.
KELLY: But the U.S. didn’t strike. Instead, the Obama administration kicked the decision to Congress. While a deal was made to remove some chemical weapons from Syria, no military strikes were ever taken. Philip Gordon was working at the Obama White House then as the National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and the Gulf. He says he regrets that decision.
PHILIP GORDON: At the time, I thought we should act, and that remains my view now. I totally understood why the president felt he would be stronger with congressional backing. But I also thought it was important – having issued a red line and made clear that the United States wouldn’t tolerate Syrian use of chemical weapons killing a thousand people – that it was important to act.
KELLY: If you were back on the National Security Council today, what would your counsel be?
GORDON: My counsel would be to undertake military strikes that punish and deter the Syrian regime from using chemical weapons in the way that they just did.

From Samantha Power, Obama’s Ambassador to the UN:
In reports released in August and October 2016, the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), which was created unanimously by the UNSC, determined that the Syrian Arab Armed Forces used chemical weapons in three incidents from 2014-2015. The Syrian government’s forces did this through the deplorable practice of dropping barrel bombs from helicopters that released toxic chemicals onto innocent civilians, killing and injuring countless people.

So the argument of who’s to blame boils down to this:
(A) Obama is to blame because he decided to comply with the part of the Constitution that vests the warmaking power in Congress, not the Executive; or
(B) Republicans are to blame because the House opposition to the Senate resolution, although joined in by some Democrats, was lopsidedly partisan.
I vote for “(B)”.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, doc. I stand corrected again. What happened (and didn’t happen) in 2012 was another GOP clusterfuck. I should have known from the beginning of this conversation that that’s where the evidence would lead to.

Dr. Dumbfuck should just cut the crap and go back and blame Truman and Churchill for the problems in the Middle East. Heck, don’t even include the U.S., just blame Briton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_for_Palestine_(legal_instrument)
Why stop there? Just go back to the formation of the various Abrahamic religions. Face it, they just hate each other and have been killing each other in the name of their god for centuries.
The attempt by Dr. Dumbfuck to simplify the problem by just trying to call out Obama as the sole source of the continued chemical weapons attacks by Syria just continues to prove his dumbfuckery and his simpleton intellect.

I see Bob couldn’t answer whether he would support US involvement in Syria at a greater scale.
And conversely whether he thinks Drump’s desire to pull out the current 2,000 service members there.
Naturally because it is present and future tense….the boy is stuck in the past. All he has now is the past. When Repuke is in office everything is about the past, and not until Dem is in office does he think about the present and future.

“Stormy calls me four or five times, by the last two phone calls she’s with Donald [Trump] and I can hear him, and he’s talking through the phone to me saying, ‘Oh come on Alana, let’s have some fun! Let’s have some fun! Come to the party, we’re waiting for you.’ And I was like, ‘OMG it’s Donald Trump!’” Evans previously recalled. “Men like him scare me because they have so much power and this was way before his presidential nomination. So I bailed on them and turned my phone off.” The next day Evans apologized for bailing, and asked Daniels how her night was. “She tells me, ‘All I’m going to say is: I ended up with Donald in his hotel room. Picture him chasing me around his hotel room in his tighty-whities.’”

@38 Of course the Germans also had an Air Force which is why the Eighth Air Force took heavy losses. One mission required hundreds of bombers, not so with todays aircraft and tools.
Of course the President did not respond to the use of chemical weapons as we would have with the Soviets. Which would have been response in kind or tactical or strategic nukes.
Mark Adams spews:
@45 A stockpile the Russians guaranteed would not exist after all of Assad’s /(old) chemical weapons were destroyed. Guess the Russians need to try harder.

Mark Adams spews:
@73 Actually the answer is the US should not be in Syria, should insist the Russians and others get out. If the Syrians want to gas each other, fine. Maybe the Hague will get some business after the rebels are defeated. (Most rebellions are won by the government and best to stay out of civil wars. Yet bama could not resist going in. And as usual it was easy getting in, not so easy getting out. Occupying forces still in Germany, Japan and korea after all these decades.

@93 “Kentucky gov. says “I guarantee” child was sexually assaulted during teacher protests”
Best Comments from the Internet
“By this logic, when politicians cut down the school week to four days, they were doing it so children could be more easily sexually assaulted.”
“I assure you that Kentuckians can’t be left alone with children without molesting them” – The Governor of Kentucky
“It’s not a threat. It’s a promise!”
The governor of Kentucky buttressed his claim that the teacher strike has resulted in an increase in child rape with the remark, “I mean, come on. It’s Kentucky.”

Prominent Gay Rights Lawyer Dies After Setting Himself On Fire In New York Park

There seemed to be no way Shohei Ohtani could live up to the hype — after all, at just 23, he has been called a modern-day Babe Ruth, a threat both at the plate and on the mound. But so far, Ohtani is delivering: He struck out 12 batters on Sunday, after hitting home runs in three games last week.
It’s still early, but the Japanese star is generating the kind of stats that people in America’s big leagues last saw around 100 years ago. In four starts as a designated hitter, Ohtani has knocked in seven runs, going 7 for 18. He also has two wins as a pitcher.

Interesting proposal to upgrade Metrolink in LA for frequent, electrified service. It’s a shame, in 1961, they shut down the last line of the Pacific Electric. Although that was the LA MTA, while it was still in private hands, the CPUC actually denied permission to shut down the remaining lines, because freeways were already congested, and the air quality was bad.

How else can the court protect her client’s time-honored and “sacred” right to obstruct?
Judge Wood will rule on the law rather than the personalities. But between Cohen blowing off court to sit out on the sidewalk smoking stogies with his mobster pals, and his former client trash talking the court to anyone who’ll listen, if she were to rule on the personalities I wouldn’t hold out much hope for Ms. Hendon’s pleadings.
