Good News – Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth is Pregnant – Video

When you are overwhelmed with all the negative news going on on today’s world, it’s time to take a break, take a deep breath and exhale when good news like this is shared.

Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic congresswoman who lost multiple limbs in war, is expecting her first child in December.

In a heart-warming segment on NBC’s Today show, the Illinois Democrat talked about her pregnancy in an interview with three other Iraq War veterans — all of them amputees who are either expecting or just had children. Duckworth calls the women her “Band of Sisters” and they have dubbed themselves the “Band of Mothers.”

Congratulations Tammy!

Elijah Cummings Slams Allen West’s Dumb Statement about Tammy DuckWorth

Allen West, the former Republican congressman from Florida, has decided to pick a fight with Tammy Duckworth by questioning her loyalty to the United States.

Speaking yesterday with Janet Mefferd, West criticized Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, Adam Schiff, Linda Sanchez and Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic lawmakers picked to fill the party’s five slots on the 12-member GOP-led “special committee.”

West especially raised doubts about Duckworth, a veteran who lost both of her legs and the use of her right arm in the Iraq War, raising suspicions about her loyalty to the country.

“Tammy Duckworth, you know I just don’t know where her loyalties lie, for her to have been a veteran and a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing and hopefully she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat [sic] party,” West said.

But Elijah Cummings would not have none of West’s disrespect for Tammy DuckWorth. In an interview today with MSNBC, West called out the “audacity” of West and his statement criticizing a military member who lost both legs and the use of one arm for this country.
