President Trump denounces restrictive abortion bans, compares himself to Ronald Reagan MARK OSBORNE,ABC News 17 hours ago President Donald Trump broke his silence on the increasing trend of states passing restrictive abortion bans late Saturday, denouncing bills like the one that passed last week in Alabama. Trump said he is "strongly Pro-Life," but said he does favor allowing women to get abortions in the case of rape, incest or the health of the mother. The bill passed by the Alabama legislature and signed by Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday contains no exemption for rape or incest, though it does allow abortions if the mother's life is threatened. Trump went on to say his position was the same one taken by former President Ronald Reagan, still a bastion of Republican values 30 years after leaving office. The president pointed to his nomination of pro-life judges -- including Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch -- as a reason to reelect him in 2020. "We have come very far in the last two years with 105 wonderful new Federal Judges (many more to come), two great new Supreme Court Justices, the Mexico City Policy, and a whole new & positive attitude about the Right to Life," he wrote. "The Radical Left, with late term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue. We must stick together and Win for Life in 2020. If we are foolish and do not stay UNITED as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear!" Alabama's law is expected to quickly be challenged in court and possibly even appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. That would set up a battle over Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 federal ruling that allowed women to be able to choose to have an abortion. Georgia, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio and Kentucky have all passed so-called "heartbeat" abortion bills, outlawing the practice after as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll on abortion, released on Aug. 29, 2018, showed that 66% of respondents wanted the Supreme Court to keep access to abortions the same as it is now, or easier. The poll showed 30% wanted to make it harder. Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday he was proud of the Trump administration for standing “without apology” for the “sanctity of human life” while speaking to graduating students at Taylor University in his home state of Indiana. "I couldn’t be more proud to be part of an administration that stood strong on the timeless values that have made this nation great, stood without apology for the sanctity of human life," Pence said. Trump has made late-term abortions a rallying point -- literally -- as he ramps up for the 2020 campaign. He discussed the issue at his 2019 State of the Union address, criticizing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, for saying a fetus could be aborted late in pregnancy if it was "non-viable." On May 8, at a rally in Panama City Beach, Florida, he again brought up the topic. "Democrats are aggressively pushing late-term abortion, allowing for children to be ripped from their mother's womb right up until the moment of birth," Trump said. (MORE: On the issue of late-term abortion, Trump seeks to corner Democrats) Most Democratic candidates have come out strongly in favor of a woman's right to choose in recent days. "A woman's right to control her own body is basic constitutional right," Sen. Bernie Sanders said while campaigning in South Carolina on Saturday. "I think it is beyond belief to me that and again in the year 2019. People are trying to take that very basic, right away." Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke called it "literally a life or death issue in the United States of America right now" in an interview Friday on MSNBC, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren released an abortion policy on Friday, writing, "Congress should pass new federal laws that protect access to reproductive care from right-wing ideologues in the states." https://www.yahoo.com/gma/president-donald-trump-opposes-highly-restrictive-alabama-abortion-074758159.html This is one stance I happen to agree with Trump......and as such, because of my abortion stance, I was once told by a believed friend of mine, who happens to be a staunch Trump supporter, he was done with me forever. I wonder how he feels about Donald's stance and if he's done with him forever. GO RV, then BV

Fox News’ Brit Hume Claps Back at Trump Over Tweet About Network’s Pete Buttigieg Town Hall Rosemary Rossi,The Wrap 11 hours ago Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume had a few choice words for Donald Trump after the president called out the network on Sunday for hosting a town hall with Democratic presidential hopeful and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. “Say this for Buttigieg. He’s willing to be questioned by Chris Wallace, something you’ve barely done since you’ve been president,” Hume tweeted. “Oh, and covering candidates of both parties is part of the job of a news channel.” Hume, a former ABC White House correspondent who joined Fox News in 1996, also linked to a Trump tweet from earlier on Sunday, when the president said he found it “hard to believe that Fox News is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete.” “Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in,” Trump wrote. Also Read:Pete Buttigieg Calls Out Fox News Hosts Who 'Uncritically Amplify Hate' In a follow-up tweet, Trump complained that Fox News’ anchor and town hall moderator had praised Buttigieg by saying, “I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance…fascinating biography.” The president further groused: “Gee, he never speaks well of me – I like Mike Wallace better,” he wrote referring to Chris Wallace’s father, the former “60 Minutes” personality who died in 2012. Trump concluded by reviving his nickname for Buttigieg: “Alfred E. Newman will never be President!” But if Trump was upset with Hume, all was soon forgiven. Because just hours later, Trump retweeted a later message from Hume that the details of the Mueller investigation that boosted Trump’s position “is lost on so many in the media.” Trump is known for turning to Fox News for a sympathetic ear from the network’s hosts and pundits, who usually oblige. In recent months, however, a few have clapped back, such as Chris Wallace, who said Attorney General William Barr is “protecting this president and advocating” for his interests. Former New Jersey Superior Court judge Andrew Napolitano has also called the president’s conduct detailed in the Mueller Report “immoral” and “condemnable.” https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fox-news-brit-hume-claps-022024346.html Trump's angry his go to media outlet is attempting to live up to their moniker of "fair and balanced" reporting.....a concept he apparently knows nothing about.

Trump calls GOP lawmaker who called for impeachment a 'loser' Colin Campbell Managing Editor Yahoo News•May 19, 2019 President Trump fired back at Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., on Sunday, a day after Amash became the first Republican congressman to call for Trump's impeachment. Among other things, Trump called Amash a "total lightweight" and a "loser." "Never a fan of @justinamash, a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy," Trump tweeted. Amash, a libertarian-oriented Republican, said Saturday that he had concluded that Trump committed impeachable offenses after reading special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Amash added: "I offer these conclusions only after having read Mueller’s redacted report carefully and completely, having read or watched pertinent statements and testimony, and having discussed this matter with my staff, who thoroughly reviewed materials and provided me with further analysis." Mueller's report detailed the extensive ways the Russian government sought to influence the 2016 election on Trump's behalf, but found no evidence that any American conspired with the Kremlin in this effort. But Mueller left open the question of whether Trump obstructed justice by trying to interfere with his probe. In his Sunday tweets slamming Amash, Trump emphasized the lack of an underlying crime when considering the obstruction question. "If he actually read the biased Mueller Report," Trump wrote, "'composed' by 18 Angry Dems who hated Trump,........he would see that it was nevertheless strong on NO COLLUSION and, ultimately, NO OBSTRUCTION...Anyway, how do you Obstruct when there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side? Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!" https://news.yahoo.com/trump-amash-impeachment-153829368.html It's an extreme rarity to see such courage rather than blind political party allegiance coming from the right. Well done Mr. Amash. And everybody knows Trump doesn't read any better than Pelosi.......People might actually believe Don the Con glanced at Mueller's Report if it was written in crayon on the back of 400 plus I.O.U.s.

Good Morning Caz, my friend, hope all is well To channel some of my favorite Righties, allow me to quote that popular phrase of theirs...."All Politicians Lie" (wink). So therefore, let me indeed admit, President Obama shared his fair share of whoppers. That said, he didn't repeat the same ones day after day after day....and he certainly didn't hate people of differing colors or religions, puppies, or American farm families, as Don the con does. As always, just my opinion. GO RV, then BV
