President Mike Pence Is Coming

... and limits his success. He should stop using Twitter, but seems blissfully ignorant to the chaos he creates with his behavior and no one seems to have the courage to really confront him for fear they will hear those famous words: "You're fired.". I do not believe Trump will complete his first term. He is 70 years old and we know nothing about his health. Trump is a very bright person, but he is definitely handicapped in his social and educational and that is limiting his success as president. His father died of Alzheimer’s disease, so memory loss has to be a concern for him going forward. He is already showing the stress of the office and he has been president for only a short time. I believe deteriorating mental and physical health will be the most likely causes for Trump to not finish his term. The other causes for an early exit for Trump are all related to Russia and his finances. His lack of transparency and honesty about these issues sets him up for all kinds of potential charges. So if Trump leaves the presidency, we get Mike Pence as our president. Pence is an Evangelical ...

He sang songs from his self-titled album, talked about how education got him to Broadway and addressed the controversy ...

Mike Pence Breaks Senate Tie To Allow States To Defund Planned Parenthood

...  cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate on Thursday to overturn an Obama administration rule and allow states to withhold Title X family planning money from Planned Parenthood. The House passed a resolution last month disapproving of the Health and Human Services rule , which in December 2016 barred states from defunding Planned Parenthood or other Title X recipients for any reason other than the provider’s “ability to deliver services to program beneficiaries in an effective manner.” The Senate could have advanced the resolution with a 52-member majority, but moderate Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) voted with the Democrats to uphold the rule, leaving a tie. Pence, who has  led the fight against reproductive rights for more than half a decade, voted with Republicans to move forward with the resolution. “Mike Pence went from yesterday’s forum on empowering women to today leading a group of male politicians in a vote to take away access to birth ...

... ideas, like energy conservation and fiscal austerity, to a Democratic Congress that was hoping for another Great Society, not some kind of middle way. JUST WATCHED. MUST WATCH. Mike Pence dodges question on wiretapping 00:57. Mondale, previously a senator from Minnesota who had impeccable liberal credentials with his former colleagues in Congress, worked hard to persuade Democrats that Carter, despite his unorthodox ways, still was on the same political page. His efforts were only of middling success as Carter ultimately proved to be unpopular with Democrats despite Mondale's efforts. Read More. Pence has a better chance of succeeding since, generally, Trump is not doing much to depart from the party agenda, unlike the way that Carter did with the Democrats. This is a debate over how conservative to be in going after the Affordable Care Act, not whether to stick to ...

Mike Pence On His Immigrant Grandfather

... for 40 years; the two were “very close,” the vice president said, until Cawley died when Pence was in his 20 s.

So it was a sentimental night for Pence, who was honored at the annual dinner for his service to his ancestral homeland. He brought along his wife, Karen, his sisters Annie and Mary, and his daughter Charlotte. His mother had planned to be there, too, but this week’s snowstorm prevented her from making the trip. “All that I am, all that I will ever be, and all the service that I will ever render is owing to my Irish heritage,” Pence said. “I will summon what is the best of it as I serve the people of this country with the faith, the determination, the cheerfulness, the humility and the humor that is characteristic of the great people of the Emerald ...

Vice President Pence Is Receiving A ‘working For Women’ Award. Here’s A Dive Into His Record On Women

... government regulation and intervention.”. Those positions are consistent with those of Pence, who has opposed the Affordable Care Act and, as governor, cut funding for Indiana's public health departments. “For 25 years the Independent Women’s Forum has responded to the progressive feminist narrative that women are a victim class in need of constant government protection,” Coley, the IWF spokeswoman, told The Post in a follow-up email. “But what’s often left out of the conversation is how government’s heavy hand can have a negative effect on women’s progress and success.”. [ Who is Mike Pence? ]. Coley pointed to  an IWF list of Pence's achievements as governor of Indiana , which noted that Pence had maintained a balanced budget while in office, overseen a drop in unemployment and fought for the greatest tax cuts in ...

The Religious Reasons Mike Pence Won’t Eat Alone With Women Don’t Add Up

... by virtue of their sex. There are good reasons for pastors not to meet behind closed doors with someone of the opposite sex. For the sake of transparency, it can be a wise decision to choose to meet, say, at a coffee shop or somewhere with an open-door policy. But for men to categorically refuse to meet one-on-one with women is often dehumanizing and denies the image of Christ that each person bears. As the philosopher Dallas Willard wrote in “The Spirit of the Disciplines,” “Alienation from them makes room for harmful lusts.” It also fuels the myth that loads of women are waiting around to falsely accuse powerful men of rape, a situation that has occurred, but is rare and often used to discount real sexual trauma. The Billy Graham Rule also denies the reality of LGBT people. As a friend pointed out to me: Should a bisexual person refuse to ever be alone with anyone, full stop? Should a male pastor refuse to meet one-on-one with a gay man? As with so many policies in the evangelical church, the Billy Graham Rule assumes heteronormativity, furthering the idea that people who ...
