You are very kind. All of this happened nearly 15 years ago now, and it still haunts me.

No woman, no person, should have to endure that. And none should have to watch their mother die that way.

I go off the conservative reservation at times (like medical marijuana), but that is because the circumstances of my life have put me in places where principles meet reality, and principles are cheap when the reality is brutal enough.

Be well my FRiend.

‘I know that it causes tremendous clashing on FR and in other conservative circles, but Trump’s defense of Planned Parenthood for cervical cancer screenings is a big deal among suburban independent women, which we’re going to need to carve into in a general election.’

Trump is unplugging newbies from the Establishment matrix. They don’t fully understand conservatism. So he defends a few minor statist projects like Family Planning. It goes a long way while Trump slashes the overall domestic budget and tears up harmful treaties that stunt our economic growth.

More importantly, he’s ‘outing’ the anti-patriotic termites who have been destroying conservativism from within.

‘Funny how Mark Levin, Rush and Beck make no [Bush] mention of it at all ...’

Nor do they point out that Cruz has been fine with a contested convention for some time.

But hey, they like Cruz. I get that. Not many in talk radio are willing to say it like it is about Cruz.

But here’s the good news:

Trump’s prime supportive media is just a few places on the internet.

I’m not sure what Savage’s ratings are, but he supports Trump. Thought I should add.
