#ProLifeSunday: Happy Mother’s Day May 11, 2025

Not enough flowers to say, "Thanks Mom for all you do for me."
Not enough flowers to say, “Thanks Mom for all you do for me.”

This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we would like to thank all the mothers out there for being there at every step of life.  You’ve nurtured, supported, and loved us.  You’ve made us into the people we are today.

#ProLifeSunday Thanks to Mothers

not enough flowers to say, "Thanks mom."
not enough flowers to say, “I love you mom.”

There aren’t enough flowers and presents to say thank you to mothers.

We House District 66B Republicans celebrate the entire family. We include Fathers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers & Sisters & Cousins, Friends & Colleagues.   Our extended families have helped us grow in areas that our parents may have overlooked, or helped us to relate to our parents to know that they were once like us at one point in the past.

Cutting any part of the family out of the picture diminishes the resources one can draw upon.

While there might be a number of fantastic mothers who vote for Democrat candidates, we have to take issue with them because they support the destruction of life during a pregnancy.  They support Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer supported organization that draws upon the tenets of Eugenics that were supported by their founder Margaret Sanger and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who had been their attorney, as well as Senator Tina Smith who used to be a Vice President of MN Planned Parenthood.  Eugenics derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the idea of “survival of the fittest.”  Sanger believed that there are certain undesirables in the human population.

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother’s Day

To end on a positive note we would like to thank all the Pro-life Mothers serving as legislators in the Minnesota State Legislature.

Happy Mother’s Day

It is a different sort of Mother’s Day this year since Roe v Wade has been overturned by the US Supreme Court and extreme abortion has been passed into law in Minnesota by party line votes. This article is reposted from saintpaulrepublicans.us and was edited for this site by permission. — admin

Road Construction: Arcade St Between York Ave & Frost

Leave a comment
The Blue Dot on the map represents the American Legion Post 577

One  of our East Side Delegates pointed out the street that runs passed the American Legion Post 577 is going to be closed due to road construction.

On the Map above, the Blue Dot just north of Magnolia Ave & Arcade St is where the American Legion Post 577 is located.

The Map shows Northbound & Southbound Arcade St Detours

  • The North Bound Detour for Arcade St shown in Dark Purple. This is Payne Avenue.
  • The South Bound Detour for Arcade St shown in Cyan or a Light Blue. This is Edgerton St.

So for our April 22nd Town Hall Forum you’ll have to pay attention to your GPS and the side streets on those 2 Detours. Also expect those 2 streets to have heavy traffic on them and expect delays so plan ahead by adding an extra 10 minutes before you would normally drive there.

The American Legion Parking lot is on Arcade St & Geranium Ave, the other side of the block is Jessamine Ave. See Map

Official MNDOT Posting Information

  • Arcade St. is closed to through traffic in both directions between Frost Ave. and East Wheelock Pkwy.
  • Arcade St. is closed to through traffic in both directions between Maryland Ave. East and York Ave.

Currently there is a bill seeking compensation for the Small Businesses affected on this stretch of Arcade St at the State Legislature.

Shared Recipes: Ghiradelli Clementine’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Leave a comment

Have you ever made a recipe on the side of a bag of chocolate chips? This recipe is one of those and at first when you consider it the only ingredient you might not have is Nutmeg, and maybe chocolate chips, unless you buy a bag to sneak a snack handful here and there.

It was from a Ghiradelli bag of Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips.

At the 2025 BPOU Convention on February 22, 2025, someone asked me why I didn’t make these.  I had made the Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, and the Healthified Chocolate Chip Cookies and it didn’t occur to me to make another recipe batch. 8 Dozen cookies should cover a convention right?

Ingredients:

A 1 1/4 Cup Butter Softened (2 1/2 sticks of butter)

B. 3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

C. 1/2 Cup Sugar

D. 1 Egg

E. 1 Tsp Vanilla

F. 1 1/2 Cups Flour

G. 1 Tsp Baking Soda

H. 1/2 Tsp Salt

J. 1 Tsp Cinnamon

K. 1/8 Tsp Nutmeg

L. 3 Cups Oats (Old Fashioned)

M. 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

N. 1 Cup Nuts or Krispies (Optional)

Directions:

  1. Cream A, B, C until light and fluffy
  2. Beat in D & E
  3. Sift in F, G, H, J, and K
  4. Add L and mix by hand
  5. Add M to the mixture
  6. Add N (optional)
  7. Drop by small spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet
  8. Preheat Oven to 375 F
  9. Bake 8-9 minutes for chewy, 10-11 minutes for crisp cookies
  10. Cool on wire rack.

Makes about 5 dozen 2 inch cookies.

Visual Ingredients & Directions

A.1 1/4 Cup Butter Softened (2 1/2 sticks of butter)

B. 3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

C. 1/2 Cup Sugar

D. 1 Egg

E. 1 Tsp Vanilla

F. 1 1/2 Cup Flour

Often I will put the measuring cup in the first level of my cupboard so I don’t have to bend down to determine the level.

G. 1 Tsp Baking Soda

H. 1/2 Tsp Salt

J. 1 Tsp Cinnamon

K. 1/8 Tsp Nutmeg (I had bought a bag of nutmeg once and I thought it would be easier to put it into a bottle. So when I had emptied out a Cinnamon bottle I used that to keep the nutmeg in)

L. 3 Cups Oats (Old Fashioned)

M. 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips (2 cups) I use Mini chips as there’s a better chocolate distribution, but use your favorite kind.

N. 1 Cup Nuts or Krispies (Optional) not shown as I don’t like nuts in cookies (my brother is allergic to peanuts so we never had them in the house)

Visual Directions

1 Cream A, B, C until light and fluffy (Butter & Sugars)

2. Beat in D & E (Egg & Vanilla).  Years ago I did a survey for McCormick Vanilla and I found that more vanilla in cookies is better than what regular recipes call for. So I eyeball the amount to add.

3. Sift F, G, H, J, and K (Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Nutmeg)

Sift and stir in the FGHJK dry ingredients

Add L and mix by hand. Mix in oats a little at a time.

Add M to the mixture. I use mini chips so that every cookie has a good amount of chips in them.

Add N (optional)

Drop by small spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet

Preheat Oven to 375 F

Bake 8-9 minutes for chewy, 10-11 minutes for crisp cookies

I use the French Silpat Silicon Baking Mats. They allow for even baking, quick cooling, no stick cookies, and it’s a snap to clean up. They are worth every penny you spend on them.

Cool on wire rack.

Enjoy
