I don’t understand how the pollin is getting worse even as it has been rainy the last few days. Seriously, it was terrible after a couple weeks without rain, and now it’s TERRIBLE. Some years allergies barely hit me and this year they are knocking me out.

Senate confirms controversial 9th Circuit pick without blue slips
https://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/443910-senate-confirms-controversial-ninth-circuit-pick-without-blue-slips
Many thanks, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
@2. Don’t even try to cast the blame on Democratic politicians. republicans would have ignored traditions regardless of what Democrats did. See Merrick Garland. republicans see this as war against progressives and the 99%, and in war, anything you can get away with, that hurts the enemy is done.
Alabama legislators refuse to fund mother and child health care as they ban nearly all abortions
https://www.newsweek.com/alabama-abortion-ban-mother-child-health-care-1426643
“The sin to me is bringing a child into this world and not taking care of them,” Coleman-Madison said. “The sin for me is that this state does not provide adequate care. We don’t provide education. And then when the child is born and we know that mother is indigent and she cannot take care of that child, we don’t provide any support systems for that mother.”
Then the people of Georgia need to vote in better people.
Gonna be a spike in children left at orphanages in the coming years.
Corporations can’t be people, they don’t have heartbeats.
‘It’s Time to Fight Back.’ Elizabeth Warren Unveils Her Strategy to Protect Abortion Access
“She advocates for new federal laws that would prohibit states from interfering in the ability of a health care provider to perform abortion services, and ones that bar states from interfering in individuals’ abilities to access abortion services. Further, she calls on Congress to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which blocks women from using federally funded healthcare programs, like Medicaid, to access abortions.”
She’s got my vote in the Primary! Despite the fact that I’ll never need Abortion Access.

@1 Adding dandruff to the long list of Trump’s impeachable offenses. Thanks, doc. Couldn’t have done it without you.
4,
Doesn’t Alabama have the highest infant mortality rate?
Of course they do.
#righttostarve
@4, 10 I really don’t understand why any rational person would spend one minute longer in Alabama than they absolutely had to. It’s one of those places you should avoid if you possibly can, and if you find yourself there for some reason beyond your control, flee from as quickly as you can. Nothing good can happen to you there, and all sorts of bad things can.
@5 Nevertheless, I think there should be a death penalty for corporations that commit heinous crimes.
Wherein dumbfuck calls the 9th Circuit “nutty” @7, but doesn’t call the judge @2 “nutty,” proving he himself is nutty. But we already knew that.

Steve, there IS evidence for a link between induced Abortion and Breast Cancer. It’s referred to by some as the ABC Link.
The studies demonstrating a link are primarily of Bangladeshi, Indian, and Chinese women.
Table 5 contains a summary of the international data from this section. Prior to 2009, three of five of these reports found an ABC link. After 2009, 10 of 11 more recent reports found a positive ABC relationship, and one of these 11 recent studies is a 2013 meta-analysis of 36 Chinese reports (Huang et al. 2013).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4135458/
I will point out that a larger and more global meta-analysis did not identify a link.

Steve, just because something sounds stupid to you doesn’t automatically mean it’s stupid. If you were a woman of Asian or Asian subcontinent descent you might look at the data very differently than, say, YLB would interpret the same data.
Not a misprint.

“Hmm, your voltage is low. But don’t worry, we have a very effective treatment for that condition We’ll have you sparking again in no time.”
Steve, the woman appointed to the judgeship is from Louisiana and her last name is Vitter.
So of course you jumped on something where she may have a point.
You missed an easy lay-up, dude.
True story for you, Doc. Back in 1985 I was living in Palo Alto, working on an addition to Stanford University Hospital. There was a woman working for the general contractor who reminded me a lot of a woman who worked down at the Seattle Building Department whose name was Gaye.
One day I’m talking to this woman outside their construction trailer, thinking again how much she reminded me of Gaye and at one point she says to me….,
“Steve, you need to know that I’m gay.”
“No, your not Gaye”
“Yes, I’m gay.’
No, you’re not!.
“YES, I AM!”
“Ohhhhhhhh. Uh, mmm, uh…Sorry about that!”
“You missed an easy lay-up, dude.”
It happens.
Normally this might be true. But is neglects to consider the GOP variant of Hanlon’s Razor.
Hanlon’s Razor:
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
GOP variant of Hanlon’s Razor:
“Always attribute to GOP malice what might otherwise be adequately explained by GOP stupidity.”
“GOP variant of Hanlon’s Razor”
Follow that and one will seldom be wrong.

In his delayed sentencing hearing yesterday, it was revealed that as part of his cooperation with the SCO, Flynn ““informed the government of multiple instances … where either he or his attorneys received communications from persons connected to the Administration or Congress that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation.” Among the subject communications were voicemail recordings that Flynn provided to the SCO.
Sullivan has given DOJ until the 31st to provide the court with the records of the communications including the transcripts of the voicemail recordings.

@16 “Steve, just because something sounds stupid to you doesn’t automatically mean it’s stupid.”
Nothing is automatic. Being as stupid as you are requires work and conscious effort on your part.
In the newly unredacted filing mention in 24 above, the part that is of interest would certainly include any discussions between Dowd and president sundowner over Dowd’s efforts silence Flynn, or at least convince him to give them “a heads up” about incriminating testimony.
But the more interesting information has to do with the revelation that member of Congress communicated with Flynn in order to reduce his willingness to cooperate.
Any guesses?

What public school teacher is too stupid to realize that the whole school is probably equipped with video monitoring these days?
All of ’em, likely.
Southbridge police said high school biology teacher Alfred Purcell III, 57, of Woodstock, Connecticut, reported to staff that he had just found one live round of 9 mm ammunition in the rear stairwell. The school was placed on lock down.
During the lockdown, police and Southbridge High School staff reviewed video footage and saw Purcell removing the live round of ammunition from his pocket, dropping it on the floor and quickly leaving the area, police said.
About 10 minutes later, the video shows Purcell standing over the ammunition and taking a picture of it with a cellphone, police said.

For every Jesse Hagopian there are probably a hundred of these assholes.
Then you tell the woman that getting an abortion might have an increased chance of cancer in her future and let her make her own choice.
I’m not a fan of the “Republicans want to, through government law, force your daughter to carry her rapist’s baby to term” legislation.
Every child should be wanted child, not a Forced Birth
For every Jesse Hagopian there are probably a hundred of these assholes.
No links, no proof, just wishful thinking on his part. More of that telepathy like how much Rabbit is worth. Or maybe just projection.
“who is Alfred Purcell III”
Police said he planted it there to prove the school needed metal detectors
Police later searched Purcell’s car and found 102 live rounds of ammunition for a .20-gauge shotgun in his trunk on the school grounds.
Authorities also discovered that Purcell’s license to carry a firearm was in expired in Connecticut.

The goal of these restrictive abortion laws is to force the issue before the Supreme Court again to repeal Roe v. Wade. It’s the move sore losers take when they don’t like the original outcome.
Undocumented Demorat Of the Week Award– Undocumented Executioner Billy Chemirmir (D-Kenya).
—————————
DALLAS, TX (AP) – A Dallas man previously arrested in the death of an 81-year-old woman has been charged with killing at least 11 more elderly women whose jewelry and other valuables he stole, authorities said Thursday.
Kim Leach, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County district attorney’s office, said 46-year-old Billy Chemirmir was indicted Tuesday on six more counts of capital murder in the deaths of women ranging in age from 76 to 94.
Chemirmir, a Kenyan citizen who was living in the U.S. illegally, also is charged in nearby Collin County with two counts of attempted capital murder for similar attacks there, according to county court records.
A Collin County grand jury also returned five capital murder indictments against Chemirmir on Tuesday.

@27 “For every Jesse Hagopian there are probably a hundred of these assholes.”
No, as stated @29, I think there are a hundred Jesse Hagopians for every one of these assholes. You have it backwards. That’s because you’re stupid. You can’t do anything about it. You were born that way.
Also, it’s not your fault that you really wanted to be a horse, but species transformation surgery hasn’t been invented yet, so fucking horses is the best you can do right now to satisfy your natural urges.
Don’t worry, we understand.

Trust me, Red, the last thing the other moderators want to see on HA is me posting each and every teacher who has sex with a student, violates a student’s First Amendment rights, or lets his or her activism result in an arrest for general assholism. Fer instance:
Hey Red, guess why this teacher is “former”?

Hey Red, sometimes teachers don’t even have to be rapists to be assholes. This one merely tried to get the victim to clam up:
A message was sent on that same day from a co-worker at the restaurant, who is also a local elementary school teacher with Bonneville Joint School District 93.
The sixth-grade teacher, whom EastIdahoNews.com is not identifying at this time because she has not been charged, allegedly encouraged the victim to stop reporting the sexual relationship with investigators.
“If i (sic) were in your shoes and I have been when I 13/14 I wouldn’t ruin (family members) lives in taking (him) for life,” the teacher said in the message, according to court documents. “I am so proud of you and your ambition with schooling and dueling credits. I would really reconsider going through with the PD (police).”
According to court documents, investigators spoke with the teacher and she admitted to sending the message as a favor to Guzman-Lara and his wife. The teacher said she spoke with Guzman-Lara’s wife, who devised the plan of what to send to the victim to get her to stop talking with police.
https://www.eastidahonews.com/2019/05/idaho-falls-man-charged-with-rape-teacher-allegedly-encouraged-victim-to-stop-speaking-with-police/
The fun never ends, Red. This teacher’s union will probably defend her for the next two years, until she’s finally charged with a crime.
“…each and every teacher who has sex with a student, violates a student’s First Amendment rights, or lets his or her activism result in an arrest for general assholism.”
Maybe someday, in a distant future, millenia from today, they just might equal the remarkable record of acheivements of priests, ministers, cops, and of course Duncan Hunter.
As Associate Justice BeerBong famously said:
“If I have raped farther, it is because I have raped on the shoulders of giants… and Squee.”
@43. You need to write more clearly, You implied for every good teacher, there were assholes who were afraid of the white and latino kids in his class. I was wondering why you were suddenly obsessing about women and sex and kids. It had nothing to do with guns or racism. Were you trying to change the subject?
You got a real incel thing against women going on. Get help. Soon.
