Bing won't allow it on my laptop, I did find it and he can only refuse funding an a small amount of items so the headline is misleading

BTW any answers on the special permission questions yet? Verbal? Ceremonial? Official? Granted status?

Trump Condemned for Moving to 'Roll Back the Clock' on Women's Rights as Letter Exposes Attempt to Form Anti-Abortion UN Coalition

"It's not just abortion that they care about, they care about women's ability to exercise autonomy over their bodies and about denying them critical access to the services they need."





Global women's rights advocates raised alarm Monday after a leaked letter showed the Trump administration is pressuring U.N. member nations to join an international anti-abortion coalition.
The letter, first reported by the Guardian and set to be presented Monday during a U.N. General Assembly meeting on universal health coverage, urges nations to oppose the creation of "a new international right to abortion."


"This letter just shows how they are trying to erode international consensus and roll back the clock for women and girls."
—Shannon Kowalski



"As a key priority in global health promotion, we respectfully request that your government join the United States in ensuring that every sovereign state has the ability to determine the best way to protect the unborn and defend the family as the foundational unity of society vital to children thriving and leading healthy lives," states the letter, which was reportedly signed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
Shannon Kowalski, director of advocacy and policy at the International Women's Health Coalition, was quick to condemn the Trump administration's reported effort as an alarming attack on women's right to abortion as well as other reproductive care.

Donald Trump's attack on Greta Thunberg is WAY beyond the pale

If an adult male mocked a teenage girl, you would condemn it. And rightly so. Because that is the sort of thing that -- no matter your politics -- we can all agree on. That adults should stay away from mocking kids. Especially publicly. Especially especially when more than 60 million people will see the mockery the instant you do it.
Which brings me to President Donald Trump. And a tweet he sent late Monday night about 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg.
"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!" Trump tweeted sarcastically above a link to Thunberg's speech at the United Nations General Assembly meeting on Monday. "People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing," Thunberg told the UN audience. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth."
Was she passionate? Yes. Was she upset? Yes. Does she have every right to those feelings -- particularly given the dire predictions about the warming climate and what it could mean for our planet? Absolutely yes.
Unfortunately, it's not at all surprising that Trump saw fit to make fun of Thunberg's passion and emotion. This is who he is -- a schoolyard bully who doesn't differentiate between a 16-year-old girl and Joe Biden. Or a Gold Star family. Or a prisoner of war. Or white nationalists and those protesting their ideology of hate.
Even Trump's former communications director-turned-recent public critic, Anthony Scaramucci, pointed out that the tweet was a low blow.
"Parents in America and around the world: he went after a 16 year old girl yesterday. ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ unfit to serve," Scaramucci tweeted.

Trump is a sick man. How much more evidence do you need?


We've seen a lot of this "evidence" over the past years and evidently a lot of people just aren't buying it! Keep at it, there is nothing more insane than someone who keeps doing the same thing expecting different results. :)

‘I think you should ask for VP Pence’s conversations’: Trump throws Mike Pence under the bus

President Donald Trump dragged Vice President Mike Pence into his growing impeachment scandal during a rambling press conference at the United Nations.
“And the Democrats did this hoax during the United Nations week. It was perfect, because this way it takes away from the tremendous achievements that we’re taking care of doing, that we’re involved in, in New York City at the United Nations,” Trump argued. “So that was all planned, like everything else. It was all planned.”
“And the witch hunt continues, but they’re getting hit hard on this witch hunt, because when they look at the information, it’s a joke,” Trump claimed. “Impeachment for that? When you have a wonderful meeting or you have a wonderful phone conversation?”
Trump urged an investigation of his own vice president.
“And I think you should ask for VP Pence’s conversation, because he had a couple of conversations also,” Trump suggested.
He then said he would release the transcripts of Pence’s
