"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

Tim falls into abortion quicksand
Tim falls into abortion quicksand - American Thinker https://t.co/ntdsJQ2ixp

Tim Walz was on Fox News Sunday. My guess is that the campaign was hoping to stop the critics who say that Walz avoids interviews. After this morning, the campaign may stop doing interviews altogether.
Walz was incoherent on abortion. Let’s check the interview:
“You signed the bill that makes it legal through all nine months. Is that a position you think Democrats should advocate for nationally?” Bream asked.
“The vice president and I have been clear the restoration of Roe versus Wade is what we’re asking for,” Walz responded.
“But that law goes far beyond Roe v. Wade,” Bream pressed. “Let’s agree, in what you signed there’s not a single limit through nine months of pregnancy. Roe had a trimester framework that did have limits through the pregnancy. The Minnesota law does not have that.”
“This doesn’t change anything. It puts the decision back on to the woman, to the physicians,” Walz responded. “And we know that this is simply something to be brought up — to be very clear Donald Trump’s asking for a nationwide abortion ban.”
“[Trump] has said repeatedly that he will not sign a national abortion ban. Are you calling that a flat out lie?” Bream asked.
Well, he won’t own his law so he starts blaming Trump again.
Here is the Democrats’ problem. The polls show that voters want abortion access or legal abortion but only under certain conditions. They want the option to terminate a pregnancy because of rape or incest. The voters do not support late-term abortion, which is what the Minnesota law approves.
Waltz fell into quicksand and had no idea on how to get out. So he started blaming Trump because that’s the only song on their playlist.

1960: "Route 66" made its debut on US TV
The show was about two young men, Buz Murdock and Tod Stiles. They drove across the country in an inherited Corvette (Chevrolet was one of the show’s sponsors), doing odd jobs and looking for adventure. It was also shot on location.
Like many of you, I saw the reruns in the 1970's. I loved the music intro.
P.S. You can listen to my show. If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.

2001: President Bush warned that it would be a long war
And here we are. Sadly, President Obama's policies set back our gains in Iraq and the region. We made gains under President Trump. Time will tell whether President Biden's poorly executed withdrawal will require our troops to return.He also warned that the war in Afghanistan would likely be only the first front in a long struggle against terrorism. He vowed to continue to take what he called the “war on terror” to those countries that sponsored, harbored or trained terrorists.
Let me recommend President Bush's "Decision points".
Cuba and the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy debates
“In the second of four televised debates, Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon turn their attention to foreign policy issues.
Three Cold War episodes, in particular, engendered spirited confrontations between Kennedy and Nixon.
The first involved Cuba, which had recently come under the control of Fidel Castro.
Nixon argued that the island was not “lost” to the United States, and that the course of action followed by the Eisenhower administration had been the best one to allow the Cuban people to “realize their aspirations of progress through freedom.”
Kennedy fired back that it was clear that Castro was a communist, and that the Republican administration failed to use U.S. resources effectively to prevent his rise to power.
He concluded that, “Today Cuba is lost for freedom.””
