That was sweet of you to go spend the Eclipse with your mom.
It is so cloudy here, ruined viewing.🙁
I’m sorry it’s so cloudy where you are.
Someone should turn on the windmills to move the clouds away…
Oh wait! 🤔that’s not how they work ☹️
Oh, it’s cloudy here also
Wind, oh wind, where forth art thou wind?
I was looking forward to see wildlife react to the eclipse.
I’ll just have to settle for the few rats I saw while looking for a parking space. The new generation is here.
TRUMP took the RINO way out instead of protecting the rights of the UNBORN.
😢 😢Sad, but true, stars & stripes forever. EVEN, Lindsey Graham shares my EXACT same opinion.
TOUGH day to be more represented by Graham than my otherwise favorite POTUS!!!☹

“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham said in a statement. “Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child — not geography.”

Thanks for sharing, STARLIT.
Please read my Post 1185 to stars & stripes forever.
This is a SAD day for the right to life, 1_Rain_Drop😢😢

VERY TOUGH & SAD DAY, Lakeside Granny, when Lindsey Graham, of all people, expresses my precise view regarding the capriciousness of GEOGRAPHY while my favorite POTUS basically CONCEDES the abortion issue to the Demonrats!!!
😢😢
Here’s the second Newsmax article, which had a hiccup, again that backs up how I, Graham, etc. feel upon President Trump’s regrettable decision:
Trump: States Should Decide Abortion Laws
Pro-life Group: Trump Cedes Abortion Debate to Dems
By Charlie McCarthy | Monday, 08 April 2024 09:36 AM EDT
A prominent pro-life group on Monday admonished former President Donald Trump for saying the abortion issue should be decided by each state and not by a national ban.
Trump, via a video posted Monday on Truth Social, said he still believes abortion laws should be determined by state laws.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s president was quick to accuse Trump of ceding debate on the issue to Democrats.
“We are deeply disappointed in President Trump’s position,” Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “Unborn children and their mothers deserve national protections and national advocacy from the brutality of the abortion industry. The Dobbs decision clearly allows both states and Congress to act.
“Saying the issue is ‘back to the states’ cedes the national debate to the Democrats who are working relentlessly to enact legislation mandating abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy. If successful, they will wipe out states’ rights.”
Despite criticizing Trump’s comments, Dannenfelser added that SBA Pro-Life America “and the pro-life grassroots will work tirelessly to defeat President [Joe] Biden and extreme congressional Democrats” because “lives [are] on the line.”
In discussing abortion during his video, Trump said he supported exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother.
Trump nominated three Supreme Court justices who joined other conservative on the bench in June 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had legalized abortion nationwide.
In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the justices voted 6-3 decision to uphold a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, confirm that the Constitution does not enshrine a right to an abortion, and say that the issue correctly belongs with the states.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both,” Trump said in his video. “And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than 1 million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
No! We were not rained out ... it was a glorious event!!
We did have some clouds, but, we caught the eclipse off and on, while the clouds drifted by.
But ... the most amazing thing ... was the totality. EVERYTHING went nighttime dark, for almost 2 mins.
Birds were singing/chirping LOUDLY just before ... became quiet during ... then, picked up, normally, after.
Such a fun and rare experience to share with kids/grandkids.
SIL shot drone footage ... no idea, yet, how that turned out, but, our camera vids caught great footage of the area, solar lights coming on in yards, etc.
Wondering how Allegra’s viewing went ... she is further north, than us.
Very nice!! Bless you and your’s as well, STARLIT!
I don’t believe Graham one bit.
He’s using this issue to sway people against President Trump.
President Trump did the right thing.
He can only do so much.
Now is the time for people within EACH State to fight the abortion issue.
It’s much easier dealing with 50 little parts than one huge one.
REgarding the raciss eclipse ...
🙃
I don’t trust Graham’s motives, that is for sure.
Thanks for sharing, Jane.
Sounds like a wonderful memory that the kids will always remember.
Too much cloud cover here but it did get a bit darker like it does when it’s going to rain.
See my post #1191.
As Charlie Kirk said, President Trump tells Lindsey to go pound sand.
🙏

>>>I pray that both of you and of course our RPOTUS are absolutely right and that I’m proven WRONG.
I guess I should know better than to agree with Graham yet
Susan B. Anthony, etc., weren’t pleased either.
I agree with President Trump 100%
Ever since Lindsey palled around with McCain, I have not trusted him.
He’s a snake and he is not going to do anything to help Trump win the Presidency.
He will sabotage Trump every chance he gets.
