Just another Californian who wants the Save America Act passed. America is being destroyed from within through lack of election integrity and CA is the epicenter.
BREAKING: Jesse Ridgway gave a new interview defending the decision to abort his baby, who may have had Down syndrome.
Everything is a "what if" for him.
“We were confronting the scenario of having the baby, and playing out every possible scenario about what it would look like and how we would make it work, what happens if they have these health problems, and need these surgeries,” Ridgway said.
“It was so real to us. I wish people could empathize with us, and know this wasn’t some black and white decision.”
Jesse doesn't even acknowledge the possibility that prenatal tests fail and they could have killed a healthy baby.
He added that the couple had spoken with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90 percent of babies are killed in abortions after a Down syndrome diagnosis.
Somehow that made the decision morally acceptable.
He wrote that the couple needed “a little time to move on” but were excited to “try again” for “a better outcome.”
Jesse could have had a perfectly fine outcome by giving birth. Millions of parents have raised children with Down syndrome just fine.
Ridgway said he understands reactions from “political or religious” standpoints but maintained the couple’s choice reflected the difficult realities they confronted.
“For any couple who has gone through a decision like this, it never leaves your mind,” he said. “Years from now, I’ll be thinking about it.”
His baby will never have that chance.
Have you noticed neither @BarackObama, @TheRevAl, @KamalaHarris nor @EricHolder have said ANYTHING about the Karmelo Anthony case?
Why the silence?
The evidence and the law point to guilt. But saying so would put them in the crosshairs of racial arsonists like @JasmineForUS.
Cowardly.
I don’t care who gets upset by this: President Trump, thank you for something bigger than politics.
Thank you for waking up every day at 79 years old and carrying pressure most people could never handle.
Thank you for the missed meals, lost family time, sleepless nights, constant travel, nonstop attacks, and the weight of leading a nation that always demands more.
Thank you for standing back up every single time people tried to tear you down. Thank you for enduring criticism, lies, betrayal, and pressure that would have destroyed most people.
Thank you for giving up comfort, privacy, peace, and the life you already had to sit in one of the toughest positions in the world and fight for this country.
You didn’t need to do any of this. You already had the wealth, success, properties, lifestyle, and freedom.
You could have walked away. Instead, you chose sacrifice. You chose responsibility. You chose America.
Thank you for everything you carried that many people never truly saw. Thank you for continuing to put this country before yourself.
We see you. We appreciate you. And we thank you.
God bless you. God protect you. And may God continue giving you the strength to carry what most people never could.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
This woman is a Karmelo supporter.
She says "I have 5 boys and I don't know what to tell them.....what do you want us to do at this point?"
How about MAKE SURE they don't grow up like DISRESPECTFUL thugs with a victim hood mentality who thinks the world owes them? 🤔
@DerrickEvans4WV@elonmusk This is an example of what is wrong with our justice system. Soft on crime is not the way. Tougher stances are the way to stop crime and protect the public. Also, 2nd amendment is also another way bc an armed public is safer.
