John Kasich: Suggesting a Nice Photo Shoot--Dogs

 Republican or Democrat it is embarrassing for our country that donald trump could be the possible one to win the GOP nomination for something as serious as President of the United States.

It would be nice if someone more or less normal with  a good track record comparatively could be going against Hillary Clinton, who I am voting for and one of the main reasons is her support of Planned Parenthood.

Please see the comment of AJG.......

The Republican party seems to be in a state of disarray--why did they not jump behind John Kasich after Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio dropped out.  It seems like the GOP cannot make a decision with Mitt Romney winning that race.

Cruz or trump cannot win against Hillary--they are too far out to win in  a general election.

The GOP should be backing John Kasich with big ads.

Every day trump steals all of the media attention with his ridiculous comments and CNN falls for it hook, line and sinker.

I guess policy can be a little boring.

Suggesting John Kasich should go for a nice photo-op and some strategic and good attention seeking.

I am suggesting The Human Society and a particular focus on Pit Bulls--those pictures would be hard to beat.

After the Brussels incident, Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said on CNN the only two people running for the highest office to act the part with reasonable statements and plans were John Kasich and Hillary Clinton.

But instead of focusing on who was acting Presidential in light of this tragedy CNN immediately went right back to talking about donald and Cruz and the bickering going on between their wives.

This man does not deserve to be Our Governor let alone President of Our United States. As Governor, Mr Kasich has drastically cut funding to many Cities in Ohio causing tremendous hardships on local communities.Mr. Kasich recently signed a Bill passed by Right Wingers of our Legislature that defunded Planned Parenthood. Many, many Poor People in Ohio depended greatly on Planned Parenthood to assist them in making it through Life, on many other things besides abortion.
  Shame on Mr. Kasich for making life harder for Cities and Women in Ohio.   The man, in my eyes, has no compassion for "The Little Guy" who struggles daily to survive. In my eyes, Mr. Kasich did one thing right. He expanded Medicaid in Ohio after our Right Wing Republican Legislature rejected it. But I believe that if the Affordable Care Act had never provided money to assist the State in expanding Medicaid, which greatly assists "The little Guy" with his or her health issues, Mr. Kasich would have rejected Medicaid Expansion just as 19 of his other fellow Governors have.

Pennsylvania is last-chance state for John Kasich's presidential bid: Brent Larkin

CLEVELAND -- Gov. John Kasich is out of excuses.
Anything less than a win or close second in Pennsylvania gives lie to a central tenet of his campaign:
That Kasich's presidential bid will thrive when the primary season arrives in the Midwest and states close to Ohio, places where his moderate views and obvious electability will appeal to voters.
So far it hasn't quite happened that way.
All Kasich's gotten out of states similar to Ohio was a distant third in Illinois and Michigan, followed by a pathetic third Tuesday in Wisconsin.
John Kasich can't believe this election: #Retweet, April 4, 2016 edition
John Kasich: "I'm up 14 points on Hillary in Wisconsin, and I'm going to lose in Wisconsin."

Team Kasich always has some excuse, a reason that almost makes sense.
When the campaign arrives in Pennsylvania on April 26, excuses won't work.
Kasich lives and works in Ohio. But he left a piece of his heart in Pennsylvania.
Soon we'll find out if the people who still live there think as fondly of Kasich as he does of the place where he grew up.

A Northeast Ohio Media Group profile of Ohio Gov. John Kasich as he rebrands himself re-election and perhaps even another run for president in 2016.

If they don't, the chances of Republicans turning to Kasich at a brokered convention in Cleveland will all but evaporate.
Polls consistently confirm Kasich's claim he's a far better general election candidate than Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz.
But that argument is becoming a futile exercise in circular reasoning. Kasich loyalists got the last part right. But all the stuff that comes beforehand has, to date, been a failure.
Like Kasich, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was also considered a great general election candidate. But it has now been more than three weeks since Rubio quit the race, concluding he could never win enough delegates to capture the nomination.
Rubio's exit came on March 15. As of today, he still has 28 more delegates than Kasich.
Already there's a drumbeat of talk that, if convention delegates turn away from Trump and Cruz, party regulars would much prefer House Speaker Paul Ryan over Ohio's governor.
Ryan is more conservative, more likable, and probably more electable than Kasich.
When the campaign arrives in Pennsylvania on April 26, excuses won't work.
But even if Kasich's campaign continues to fall short of expectations, the fact Cruz and Trump want him out of the race is reason for him to stay in it, hoping Republicans in New York and then Pennsylvania appreciate the candidate voters everywhere else have not.
The latest poll out of Pennsylvania was hardly encouraging. A Qunnipiac University survey, concluded April 4, showed Kasich running third in the state of his birth, 15 percentage points behind Trump and six behind Cruz.
Kasich's fond memories of growing up in western Pennsylvania are genuine. Those regular references to his hometown of McKees Rocks aren't timed to coincide with the state's presidential primary. He's been using his "son of a mailman" shtick for years.
But some recent campaign stops in the state haven't gone especially well. And a couple of events included flashes of the unflattering side of Kasich's personality that he's done a decent job of concealing throughout much of the campaign.
During an April 1 town hall meeting in central Pennsylvania, the crowd turned on Kasich when he suggested "teachers are the most underpaid profession in the nation."
It was a curious claim, given that school funding on Kasich's watch has failed to keep pace with inflation. And not once as governor has Kasich attempted to publicly champion higher pay for the country's most "underpaid profession" - even though Ohio has been so awash in cash that Kasich has signed budgetscutting taxes by $5 billion.
Teachers unions in Ohio contribute mightily to the public's negative perception of what is, on balance, a noble profession. But Kasich was right. Teachers generally are underpaid.
But the audience in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, wasn't buying it.
When a nurse complained, "not true governor, not true," Kasich turned testy.
"What do you want, to just eliminate teachers?" he asked. "Come on .... I'm in favor of putting you in charge of your school budgets. If you want to cut teachers pay, that's up to you."
Then came the Kasich compromise: Take some of the millions paid to professional athletes and give it to nurses.
Left unexplained and unanswered was why target athletes and not Wall Street billionaires, or members of any other overpaid profession.
By then, it didn't matter. The crowd in Camp Hill had heard enough. After a couple more prickly responses from the candidate, pennlive.com reported the event ended with some in the room muttering:
"Go back to Ohio."
That's exactly where Kasich doesn't want to be.
At least not until July 18.

Dear Hillary: On donald trump and Hipocrisy--Will I Be Jailed?

Margaret Sanger Deutsch: Margaret Sanger (* 1879)

Dear Hillary,



hy·poc·ri·sy

the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.




On donald trump and his confusing, contradicting message.

Thinking donald trump is a product of and one who has enjoyed the sexual revolution of the sixities and the seventies and women's lib one would wonder why he would want punishment for those who have made an error in birth control regarding this issue.

He promoted a picture of his beautiful wife, Melania and bragged about her photo in GQ--her photo without clothes--one would conclude a photo of a beautiful and lovely woman without clothes, fur blanket to boot, his private jet.....wouldn't this give the viewer and listener a picture of sex, sexual attraction.

Let's use other words--an opportunity for pregnancy.

This picture of Melania suggests he would promote sex out of marriage, the use of birth control, unless he wants the prospect of having children every time anyone acts on the idea of this picture.  One would also think he is in favor of sex outside of marriage by his history of girlfriends separate from his wife--while he was married.

So while he promotes sex and the idea of it for men he also wants the woman to be punished and even serve jail time if they would choose not to have children if a pregnancy ensued.

Just wondering--is donald trump promoting health care, education on birth control or just punishment for women only and as he mentioned, no punishment for the man.

So the man can fool around and be promiscuous, no consequences, no responsibility for birth control, money or raising children but the woman or the health care provider, doctors and nurses can go to jail.

This does not seem right to me.

He is going back to the dark ages.

Then, later as he tried to rectify his stupidity of his words he suggested possibly the woman should not be punished but the workers that participate in the procedure and the facility.


TAB--Therapeutic Abortion or D and C--Dilatation and Curettage is a routine hospital and surgery center procedure.

Yes, it is for termination of pregnancy and the same procedure is used for many reasons such as obtaining specimens.

As a nurse does this mean I would potentially have to face jail time for going to work because one can not always opt out of routine procedures.

Something is not right about his thought process.

It is embarrassing for our country that this individual is running for our leader.

I am afraid of this man who proclaims that no one would have a better ability to provide health care to women than him.

If this is the archaic kind of health care he wants to provide for women let me think about moving to a country with a more modern system.

The man is uninformed--the man needs to get up to speed before he runs for President.

Please keep up the good work with Planned Parenthood and education for women.  I will be voting for you in November.

I do not know if it is possible to educate donald trump.

An Officer and a Gentleman and a Dog: So Sorry for the Loss of Your Daughter

An officer from Alabama trekked all the way to Arkansas to reunite a grieving family with their dead family member's beloved dog. McKenzie Catron, 19, died in a car crash last weekend in Dothan, AL while on spring break. Her car ran off the road and struck a utility pole. The passenger in Catron's car was critically injured, but survived. Catron did not. Sgt. Jonathon Whaley was the first on the scene, according to KHBS. As Catron's passenger was rushed to the hospital, witnesses told Whaley about the dog seen running from the wreck.jonathon Whaley,

"We felt we needed to find the dog," Sgt. Whaley told Fox 5 Atlanta. "We were going to do whatever we needed to do to reunite this dog with this family."

Police officers, firemen and, eventually, hundreds of local volunteers combed the area looking for Kai, Catron's pit bull. A Facebook group was started to help coordinate search efforts. People began scouring the area and posting posters alerting people to the missing dog. A local law firm, Cherry & Irwin Trial Lawyers, put up a $1,000 reward. It was Benjamin Irwin, one of the lawyers who fronted the reward money, who eventually found Kai. Kai didn't come quietly however. It took Irwin and eight other volunteers chasing the pit down side streets and into yards before they cornered her and could grab Kai's collar.

"I just know if I were them I would want the last tangible thing of someone I loved," Irwin told Fox 5. He plans on donating the reward money to the shelter Kai was adopted from. Once Kai was found Whaley packed his family up and drove the to Bentonville, AK. Catron's family were amazed by the town's act of generosity. Kendra Mulherin, Catron's mother, told reporters that the dog's presence would help the family heal after this tragedy.

"For us, it was just a part of her. And we found it. And now we can kind of start healing," Mulherin told KHBS. Police are still investigating the cause of the crash. The passenger in the crash remains hospitalized.

Hello dear listeners, 
I played a well-known hymn on my TELECASTER (with a volume pedal & a Tremolo effect).
I really appreciate it if you find the 90 seconds to listen to it. It is a melody played with chords.
