Abortion

Episode 542 – She Can Still Eat Cake

Nancy Pelosi may be skipping church in the future. Is Biden next?

A Democrat in Oklahoma has a great solution for dealing with the outlawing of abortion.

And the Elon Musk saga takes a very expected turn.

 

Kamalaisms

I have to ask a question. Have politicians always been this stupid or have they just gotten that way over the last few years? Quite honestly, I don’t remember so many stupid people holding so much power.

Here is Kamala Harris talking at a climate conference and she’s talking about how school buses are going electric.

She really thinks about this subject every day? Really? Maybe she should spend more time thinking about the border crisis (which she was in charge of) or the baby formula crisis, or the inflation crisis, or rising gas prices, or the crashing stock market.

Here is another genius, AOC.

Um, I’m pretty sure abortion is not something religious Jews do. Or Christians. Or Muslims. But she was able to string together big words like “theocratic”.

The first time she weighs in on abortion, she makes a complete ass out of herself.

 

It’s About Time

According to Fox News:

San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is barred from receiving Holy Communion due to her pro-abortion stance — marking an escalation in a decades-long tension between the Roman Catholic Church and liberal Democratic politicians on abortion.

In a letter he wrote to Pelosi, he said:

This fundamental moral truth has consequences for Catholics in how they live their lives, especially those entrusted with promoting and protecting the public good of society.  Pope St. John Paul II was also quite consistent in upholding this constant teaching of the Church, and frequently reminded us that “those who are directly involved in lawmaking bodies have a ‘grave and clear obligation to oppose’ any law that attacks human life.  For them, as for every Catholic, it is impossible to promote such laws or to vote for them” (cf. Doctrinal Note on some questions regarding the participation of Catholics in political life [November 24, 2002], n. 4, §1).  A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others.  Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons “are not to be admitted to Holy Communion” (Code of Canon Law, can. 915).

Later, he writes:

As you have not publically repudiated your position on abortion, and continue to refer to your Catholic faith in justifying your position and to receive Holy Communion, that time has now come.  Therefore, in light of my responsibility as the Archbishop of San Francisco to be “concerned for all the Christian faithful entrusted to [my] care” (Code of Canon Law, can. 383, §1), by means of this communication I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance.

He concludes:

I also ask all of the faithful of the Archdiocese of San Francisco to pray for all of our legislators, especially Catholic legislators who promote procured abortion, that with the help and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they may undergo a conversion of heart in this most grave matter and human life may be protected and fostered in every stage and condition of life.

Finally, someone in the Catholic Church has the balls to pull the trigger on these pro-baby killing “Catholics”. Pope Francis, who is a liberal Pope but has denounced abortion should put more of emphasis on how evil abortion is (Pope Benedict would have). Abortion is becoming way too widespread throughout the world. Heck, it’s now legal in highly Catholic South American countries.

Here’s a Good Idea

A Democrat in Oklahoma, which is one of the states that wants to completely ban abortion has come up with an idea that will prevent unwanted pregnancy.

According to the Daily Wire:

At a meeting of the Oklahoma state legislature Friday, Democratic Rep. Mickey Dollens suggested that members of the legislature who supported the abortion law, House Bill 4327, should consider another bill he planned to introduce, which would mandate that young men in the state receive a vasectomy once they reach puberty that could only be reversed when they are “deemed financially and emotionally responsible.”

He tweeted:

 “One of my fellow legislators plans to introduce a bill, HB 4327, that would define life as the moment of fertilization, making it a homicide to abort even a small cluster of cells. What if we take it further and mandate that every male has to have a vasectomy until they are deemed financially and emotionally responsible? Or call the use of condoms premeditated murder? Using a personal interpretation of religion to legislate human bodies is wrong and leads us down a dangerous path.”

This is what the Left does. They conflate the issues. They do not see a line between responsibility and consequence. Now, I know this guy is kidding and he thinks he’s proving some bazar point. But he’s not. He just sounds like an idiot.

That Didn’t Take Long

The Elon Musk saga continues.

  • Twitter exploded because Elon Musk decided to buy them and push for free speech.
  • Then he announced to the world that between 20-30% of the accounts on Twitter are bots, putting the whole sale in doubt.
  • If the deal goes south, this will destroy Twitter. They are already suffering heavy losses in the stock market.
  • The Twitter board says they will hold Musk to buying Twitter though, if they have been lying, I don’t know how they can.
  • Twitter has fired two of their main managers.
  • Elon Mush has said he is going to take the role of CEO of the company.
  • He also said he is going to fire thousands of employees (which he should).
  • Florida and Texas are courting him to move out of California to their states. Half his company is already in Texas.
  • This week he has said he will be voting Republican because Democrats are “hateful”.
  • Twenty-four hours after saying he would vote Republican, a sexual harassment claim came out against him (what a shock).
    • This happened six years ago when a woman was offer a horse for an erotic massage on one of Musk’s planes.
    • The woman, who got $250K and had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, did not report the harassment. It was her friend.
    • The woman said she could describe the tattoos and scars on Musk’s penis.
  • Musk took it exactly as could be expected.
    • He said the day before that this would happen.
    • He said it was not true.
    • The accuser was a wannabe actress and the money he paid was just cheaper than going to court.
    • He challenged the woman to describe his penis publicly.
    • And, he made a joke. He said this scandal should be called Elongate.

You what the Left is not understanding? They’re BS isn’t working anymore. We all know what they’re going to do before they do it. They’ll just scream sexist, racist, bigot and a variety of phobes. None of this crap is working anymore.

Go Woke, Go Broke

Netflix is really going all in on the anti-woke thing and it’s all because people are sick of their crap. They have lost 200K subscribers in the first quarter this year, the first time thy have lost subscribers in ten years.

According to the New York Post:

Netflix is canceling several animated projects, including Ibram X. Kendi’s film “Antiracist Baby,” as the streaming service has been forced to cut costs and lay off workers due to dwindling subscriber numbers.

Ava DuVernay’s animated project “Wings of Fire” has also been given the ax, according to Variety, which cited sources as saying that the decision was creative rather than financial.

Netflix recently announced that it was laying off 150 workers, or some 2% of its workforce, after reporting weak earnings in the first quarter of this year.

I have Antiracist Baby and I am going to make a video and read it to you. It is hard to believe that Netflix actually did several videos on this crappy “children’s book”.

All I can tell you is, and everyone is learning this now, if you go woke, you go broke.

Leave Scooby Alone

Scooby Doo is going woke.

There is going to be a new Scooby Doo but it is going to be missing something. Mainly, Scooby Doo. It will still have Velma, Fred, Shaggy and Daphne. It will be produced by actress and comedian Mindy Kaling who starred in the television show called the Mindy Project. The show will be an adult animated show on HBO Max.

So, not only is there not going to be a dog but it is also going to have a South Asian character play Velma. I don’t think that’s really a big deal but, apparently, Kaling thinks it’s going to be a big deal. She said that people may “freak out” when they see Velma is a South Asia but “she doesn’t care” what people think.

This is the problem with Hollywood. They don’t care about what people think. This is half the problem with movies and television shows right now. That’s why no one watches. This shouldn’t even be an issue of Velma being a South Asian. What should be the issue with the show is that they are taking Scooby Doo out of the Scooby Doo show and leaving the four boring adults instead.

Episode 531 – It Only Took 50 Years

It might finally be over. Roe versus Wade might be done.

 

A Momentous Ruling and Sin

A draft of the ruling for Dobbs v. Mississippi (2022) has been leaked by someone at the Supreme Court. It was leaked to Politico, obviously by some activist on the court. We are going to talk about the ruling as it is written and talk about the reactions. Then we are going to talk about the leak and the reactions to the leak.

Believe it or not, we pretty much know where this leak came from.

 

The Ruling

The best way to go through this is to use the words that Justice Samuel Alito used. So let’s go through the highlights that Politico brought forward.

Some things:

  • This is important. Alito is pointing out that abortion was not popular. Most of the country did not want it.
  • He also points out that this was a national debate. Roe versus Wade ended that debate.

What he says here is true. Abortion was not a debate when the Constitution was written. It is not part of the Constitution and there is no reference to it anywhere. This is right. The Constitution is a living document but it must go through the amendment process. The courts can’t do that.

Yes, the courts had no right to make up laws.

Again, this is a Federalist, states rights argument. This is correct.

This is really the only argument the Left is pointing to. Stare Decisis is the the belief that a law cannot be overturned because of precedent. This just isn’t the case. There are a lot of precedents that have been overturned because they were bad precedents (Dred Scott would be one of them).

This was a bad precedent.

  • Abortion was never in the Constitution.
  • Privacy, which the court cited as the reason for abortion, is also not expressly stated in the Constitution.
  • The Supreme Court did not have the science in 1973 that we did as early as 1980 with the test tube baby.
  • And it was a real stretch to apply privacy to the killing of babies.

This is a long statement but it is right on.

 

This is exactly correct and I am shocked that this court finally had the guts to say it. This is what people don’t get: This ruling completely ignored the Constitution.

This is a bit of a cowardly statement. The ruling was unconstitutional. He should have said that. If the federal government can’t make a law, the states must determine the laws.

They know now. So let’s talk about how this ruling got released.

 

White House Response

As you can imagine, everyone on the Left is flipping out.

President Biden, always the unifier, released a statement today:

“We do not know whether this draft is genuine, or whether it reflects the final decision of the Court. With that critical caveat, I want to be clear on three points about the cases before the Supreme Court.

“First, my administration argued strongly before the Court in defense of Roe v. Wade. We said that Roe is based on ‘a long line of precedent recognizing ‘the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty’… against government interference with intensely personal decisions.

“I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental, Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned.

“I directed my Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel’s Office to prepare options for an Administration response to the continued attack on abortion and reproductive rights, under a variety of possible outcomes in the cases pending before the Supreme Court.

“We will be ready when any ruling is issued.” 

Some things:

  • We do know the draft is genuine now. John Roberts said it was.
  • They did argue strongly for a precedent that was garbage.
  • The “concept” of “personal liberty” was define as privacy by both Roe and Casey. The problem is there is not absolute to privacy. Casey actually said there were no limits to one’s potential actions because “personal liberty” is defined in the 14th amendment. That’s not true.
  • Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg said Roe was a trash ruling.

He concluded by saying something that is true:

Biden, on Tuesday, added that if the Supreme Court “does overturn Roe, it will fall on our nation’s elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman’s right to choose.” 

“And it will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November. At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice Senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law.” 

I just want to point something out: 60% of the population believes there should be tight limits on abortion. Most believe that should be during the first trimester or the first twelve weeks. The Mississippi law sets it at 15 weeks.

What’s Going to Happen

Let’s talk about what is going to happen here if this holds as the ruling (and I think it will).

  • States that want abortion will continue with the abortions. But they will go extreme, supporting abortion to the moment of birth to even after birth.
  • States that don’t want abortion will ban it. There are a lot of states that hate abortion.
  • By the way, that’s how the government is suppose to work. States have rights and the federal government can only deal with what’s in the Constitution.
  • There will be extremes happening:
    • Like I said, states like California and New York will probably support infanticide. The 24 week limit would be gone.
    • States like California will pay for people in other states to come to their state using taxpayer money to get an abortion. California is already proposing this.
    • There will be calls to end the filibuster.
    • There will be calls to pack the Supreme Court.
    • There will be hit pieces on the Conservative justices.
    • There might be protests and riots.
  • There will be programs in blue states to get people from red states to move to them. States like California and New York
  • What this also is going to do is put abortion on the same path as slavery. A path to its end. I think that’s a good thing.

Episode 518 – When the Narrative Crashes

What happens when a crisis goes against the narrative? Let’s talk about the Sacramento mass shooting.

 

Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste

A tragedy occurred in Sacramento, California last weekend. Of course, there is a narrative that could be wound around it by the Leftists. As usual, it is another story that was actually created by bad Leftist policy. Let’s take a look at it.

According to the The Sacramento Bee:

Six people were killed and 12 others were injured in a mass shooting in downtown Sacramento early Sunday, transforming a section of the city normally teeming with nightlife into a horrific crime scene of blood, shattered glass and grieving relatives. The death toll, and the number of wounded, made the bloodbath in the vicinity of 10th and K streets the worst mass shooting in Sacramento’s history.

Here’s what happened:

  • The shooting happened just after 2 a.m in an area with a bunch of dance clubs.
  • There was a a large fight that started among multiple people.
  • The suspects started shooting at each other.
  • The shootout took place in a 2 by 4 block radius, so this was a huge fight.
  • There were hundreds of rounds fired.
  • Here’s what the police didn’t know:
    • How many shooters there were.
    • Why the shooting took place.
    • Whether the shooting was targeted or indiscriminate.
    • Who the shooters were.

Needless to say, it is hard to really report on anything about this shooting or come up with any conclusions, right? It took 18 hours before police even removed the bodied because they had no idea what was happening. They were collecting videos from phones to get clues.

But this doesn’t stop the media from going off.

 

The Narrative.

The first narrative is that this was a mass shooting. This does fall under the definition of a mass shooting but most people think of one person who is pissed off at someone and then just starts shooting. This wasn’t the case here. At all.

Of course then the media spit out how there are 12,000 mass shootings in the United States this year. That’s an exaggeration. But they did say there were around 120 mass shootings. Of course, when you look at each of case, one one would shrug at whether or not that case would be a mass shooting. For example, a father got into a fight with his in laws, shot them (they survived) and then shot a police officer in the leg (he survived) and was arrested. This is considered a mass shooting. Gang violence, including drive-by shootings, is considered a mass shooing.

Why does this matter? Because there is a big difference between some nut job taking out 10 people versus a gang member  shooting at other gang members and hitting innocent people. With the nut job, it is hard to argue against gun control (sort of). With the gang member, no so much.

The media went off on gun control. President Biden said he is going to sign an executive order limiting ghost guns and magazine sizes. California is looking at implementing an additional 100 laws restricting guns. Mind you, California has some of the most strict rules on guns second only to New York.

CNN, MSNBC, the AP, New York Times, the Washington Post all had articles about how “gun violence” is a disease in this country. Even the Sacrament Kings head coach, Steve Kerr, said we need some “common sense” gun control. Of course, no one defines what “common sense” gun control is. My guess it’s banning all guns.

This is what they were talking about all Sunday and half of Monday. Then, it just stopped.

 

The Truth

The Post Millennial revealed:

On Tuesday, Sacramento police arrested 27-year-old Smiley Martin, who remains in the hospital for injuries he sustained during the shooting, and faces charges of possession of a machine gun and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

  • Martin has a lengthy criminal record.
    • Robbery.
    • Carrying illegal firearms.
    • Lying to police.
    • Resisting arrest.
  • In 2017 he was given a 10 year sentence for beating his “girlfriend” within an inch of her life.
    • They were fighting and she ran out of the apartment they were in.
    • He followed her to the street and beat her.
    • She ran back into the apartment and followed.
    • In the apartment, he beat her again.
    • He dragged her by the hair and put her in his car and beat her again with a belt.
  • He applied for parole in 2021 and the parole board recommended he stay in prison because of his violent nature and he would offend again.
  • He was released a year later after serving only four years.
  • He was a gang member and got into some argument with rival gang members and that’s when the shooting started.

Oh, I forgot, he is black. Now do you see why the media stopped reporting this?

Now, let’s take a look at the shooting itself:

  • The people he was shooting at were black.
  • He was illegally carrying a gun (felons can’t carry firearms).
  • The gun was modified to make it an automatic. That’s illegal.
  • He was out on parole serving less than half of his sentence even though the parole board said he should stay in prison because he is violent and would commit more crimes.

The system failed in this one. Gun control would have done nothing to stop this. Instead of pointing to the real problem; which are gangs, crime and a loose justice system, it is better to just ignore it.

Do you know who knows that? Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert. She was on the Lawrence Jones’ show this weekend on Fox News and she had some really common sense things to say. She had written a letter to keep Smiley Martin in prison. Here’s what she said:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/sacramento-shooting-suspect-early-release-da-schubert

 

Do Something NOW!

Because of this crime in Sacramento, Democrats have been saying that ghost guns are the primary reason for gun violence. A ghost gun is defined as a gun that is put together from a kit and has no serial numbers. But there’s a problem. The government defines ghost guns as weapons with no traceable serial numbers. The government claims that there were 24,000 ghost guns recovered.

So what is the problem? The government considers a gun which had its serial number scraped off. In other words, a criminal makes a non-ghost gun into a ghost gun. That’s illegal. That report of 24,000 ghost guns doesn’t discuss the number of guns that were acquired and built from kits.

I also want to point out that California, where the “mass” shooting takes place, already the most restrictive gun control policies and requires the serialization of legally obtained kits to create a ghost gun.

This rule has been in the works for months, but the Left is getting impatient. Chuck Schumer said in a statement:

“It’s high time for a ghost gun exorcism before the proliferation peaks and before more people get hurt — or worse. My message is a simple one: No more waiting on these proposed federal rules.” Ghost guns are “too easy to build, too hard to trace and too dangerous to ignore.”

Do you notice the answer for everything to a Leftist is to take things away? Take away free speech. Take away our freedom to assemble. Take away our ability to go to church. Take away our money. Take away our businesses. Take away our guns (which is God-given and is used to protect all of the above).

Here’s what the rule is going to address:

  • Change the current definition of a firearm under federal law to include unfinished parts, like the frame of a handgun or the receiver of a long gun.
  • Require manufacturers and dealers who sell ghost gun parts to be licensed by the federal government and require federally licensed firearms dealers to add a serial number to any unserialized guns they plan to sell.
  • Require firearms dealers to run background checks before they sell ghost gun kits that contain parts needed to assemble a firearm.

There is some pushback.

  • Republicans are stating that Joe Biden cannot just create a rule limiting gun ownership. It’s a Congressional job and then even that is limited because of the second amendment.
  • Gun advocates plan to sue and will probably win to stop this.

Episode 516 – Our Civilization Cannot Survive This

The chosen one comes to the White House to save Sleepy, Creepy Joe but it looks like it might have made things worse.

Nature seems to hate environmentalists.

And the most harrowing story, probably of the year, is just being ignored.

 

Really Pathetic

Joe Biden is really struggling in the polls. The country is a mess, we are verging on a world war and Democrats are looking to get walloped in November. The last time numbers were this bad, Democrats lost 60 seats in the House and Senate.

So Joe has to do something. Or his handlers have to do something. So, they bring back the Chosen One, Barrack Obama. And, boy, were the press excited.

When Obama started his speech, he made a joke. Here it is:

You knew that was coming. Not funny at all. I wish Old Joe was Vice President right now.

They brought Barrack in to sign another executive order about the Affordable Care Act. They also announced they were expanding it. Wow. Expanding something that was done 9 years ago (and it didn’t work well). Is Joe hoping that resurrecting something Obama did by introducing it with Obama is going to improve his standing right now? Is Old Joe completely out of ideas to get himself out of his unpopularity? I have some ideas, give me a call.

Well, it won’t help Old Joe. In fact, it’s probably going to have the opposite effect.

  • This set up had a look of desperation. This administration has no idea what to do so bring back Obama so that people get some sweet memories in their minds. Problems is:
    • Obama wasn’t that great a President. Trump beat his Secretary of State.
    • This little get together was way to far before the elections. It will be forgotten.
  • Barrack Obama focused on himself the entire time.
    • He said “I” and “me” a total of 33 times.
    • When Obama leaves the White House, we’re just going to see Old Joe and all of the problems will be back.
  • There was a huge contrast on the way the speak.
  • Barrack Obama was never as popular as the media makes it.
    • Yes, he won every election he ran in.
    • He lost Congress when he was President.
    • He backed with Stacey Abrams and she lost.
    • He backed Terry McAuliffe and he also got killed.

But the worst look came at the end when Biden was walking around alone. No one would talk with him, Obama was ignoring him and he looked lost. He looked like a kid at a party in which he knows no one.

Even Animals Hate Them

With all the protection of the environment, you’d think nature would like Democrats. Apparently that’s not the case.

A red fox was running around the Congressional building and attacked Democratic representative Ami Bera of California.

Bera said:

“I didn’t see it and all of a sudden I felt something lunge at the back of my leg. I jumped and got my umbrella.”

They eventually caught the fox and took him some place safe.

Disgusting

A whistleblower in Washington DC turned over the bodies of five aborted fetuses. What is terrifying about this story is it looks like these children were at an age way beyond the legal limits for abortion. It also looks like these babies went through partial birth abortion.

I say, “they look like” because pictures of the babies are online. I wish everyone could see this pictures.

A OB/GYN, Dr. Kendra Kolb, reviewed the pictures and described what she saw.

Baby boy one was is estimated that Baby Boy #1 is about 30-32 weeks, said that Baby Boy #1 “appears to have been delivered mostly intact without evidence of dismemberment, and as such, it is difficult to say how his life was ended.”

A medical professional looking at the photos says of baby girl 1:

“There appears to be an incision at the base of the skull, and the head has been decompressed by removing the brain. This is consistent with an Intact D&E or D&X. If the baby was alive at the start of this procedure, it would be considered a Partial Birth Abortion and would be illegal.”

Kolb agreed that Baby Girl #1 appears to be between 28-30 weeks, noting “evidence of deep lacerations to the posterior neck which presumably correlates to the method of abortion used to end her life.”

A medical profession described baby girl 2:

“She has been dismembered. Her head has been crushed or possibly decompressed using suction inserted through an incision in the skull. Her skin is macerated, and her tissues appear grey, consistent with death prior to the abortion. She appears completely normal and was aborted using the [dilation and evacuation] technique, also known as dismemberment abortion.”

The baby appears to be between 26 to 28 weeks gestation and that this baby was aborted through a dilation and evacuation dismemberment abortion.

Kolb said:

“She has evidence of both dismemberment of her upper extremity, decapitation, and organ evisceration as the result of this unimaginably brutal procedure.”

It is not possible to determine the sex of Baby X since this baby is still intact in the amniotic sac, Aultman said. It’s also difficult to discern the baby’s gestational age, she said, but the baby is “probably in the late 2nd or early 3rd trimester.”

The associate scholar speculated that Baby X may have been born alive in the amniotic sac and left to die.

The medical professional said:

“An Induction method would have been used for the abortion. Unless this baby was injected with a drug designed to kill prior to the abortion, he or she may very well have been born alive and then left to die. Without rupturing the amniotic sac, it would not have been possible to cut the cord to cause fetal death before the abortion.”

Kolb estimated that Baby X is between 28 weeks and gestational age.

Kolb concluded:

“It is important to note that all of these babies appear to be of a “viable” gestational age. which means that had they been delivered alive at their current developmental stage, they would have had a very good chance of survival outside of the womb with appropriate support.”

“It is also important to note that these babies are pain capable at this point in development, and especially those whose lives were ended by a [dilation and evacuation] abortion would be expected to experience excruciating pain during this barbaric procedure.”

The neonatologist added that it is “beyond horrific and devastating for me as a neonatologist to see these images, as these babies are representative of the very same patient population that I care for.”

“To then see these discarded aborted babies, and even try to imagine what they went through during these horrific abortion procedures is infuriating and devastating beyond words.”

 

Here’s the story:

  • Police recovered the fetal remains on Wednesday in the home of 28-year-old Lauren Handy, a member of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), a pro-life organization.
  • The police, at the sight of the babies, said they appear to be aborted legally so no investigation will be done concerning the corpses.
  • Instead, the DC police are investigating the woman who turned the body over. They want to know why she had the babies’ bodies.
  • The Washington DC medical examiner refuses to do an autopsy and said the bodies will be incinerated.

Founder of the (PAAU), Terrisa Bukovinac, said:

“We are aware that the Metropolitan Police Department has stated that they do not believe a crime has been committed against these babies under DC law. However, the laws in question are federal laws enforced by the US department of justice.”

Yeah, here’s the thing: the Department of Justice is run by people who love this stuff, support this stuff, hell, even encourage this. Do you think they are going to investigate?

If that doesn’t enrage you enough, here is Assistant Chief of Police, Sean Benedict describing the situation:

If that doesn’t make your blood boil, there’s something wrong with you.

Some things:

  • Lauren Handy is a hero.
    • She didn’t bomb an abortion clinic or kill a doctor.
    • She recovered the bodies of dead babies that were probably killed illegally.
    • Don’t think she’s going to plea to this. She’s going to make this public and go through the trial process to show the brutality of abortion.
    • But, like the trial of convicted baby kill Kermit Gosnell, the media will ignore it like they are ignoring this story.
  • This asshole described dead babies as “items”. Can you think of anything more inhuman than that?
  • How does he know they were aborted in accordance to Washington DC law?
    • Are the Washington DC police doctors?
    • Looking at the pictures, real doctors can’t even tell the sex of one of the babies. The police know better than the doctors?
    • And isn’t it the job of the medical examiner to come to that conclusion?

We cannot survive as a civilization when we see babies discarded like trash and not think twice about it. And, by the way, these are the same people teaching your kids in school.

 

Today

We’re not done with this story.

The ladies of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, including Lauren Handy, held a press conference today and it was powerful. It won’t be covered by the press so I’ll give you the highlights here.

Here they is the President of the group describing the discovery of the dead babies who were thrown into a box.

Some things:

  • I don’t know what else to say here.
  • 114 dead babies thrown into a box.
  • On TikTok, you listen to people scream about being traumatized over their pronouns being used. This is real trauma.
  • I also want to point out all the stuff we are hearing about Ukraine and how we need to help them. Maybe we should fix ourselves first because this is far more tragic than what’s happening in Ukraine and it’s happening here.

In this clip, the discuss why they think these abortions are illegal.

Listen, I do not doubt the evil of a doctor who kills babies who are a month since conception. I have little doubt a doctor would commit an abortion after the legal time period or would commit an illegal partial-birth abortion.

Here, they discuss their interaction with the police:

Not only did the police not investigate, they didn’t bother to come and get the bodies of the babies until they had warrants to arrest these women.

Question: What’s the point of creating laws if they are going to be ignored by law enforcement.

These women are heroes and this is a story that should really be front page news.

Episode 459 – A Second Chance to Screw Up Foreign Policy

Let’s get to some news, and there’s a lot of it.

And let’s complete the third part of our abortion talk.

Their Sacrament of Abortion is Under Attack

In the last two podcasts, we talked about abortion and the current fight in front of the Supreme Court. What we didn’t talk about was the reaction. Needless to say, it has been really over-the-top. Let’s take  look.

 

The Protests

There were around 20,000 people protesting at the Supreme Court last week. It was pretty split, a lot of protestors were anti-abortion.

The anti-abortionists basically said the same thing. Parenthood is great and abortion is murder. But, of course, the media covers the pro-abortionist view. Too bad Julie Rikelman, who argued in front of the Supreme Court, never argued any of the points of the protestors:

Some things:

  • Women will to jail or die? Really? That didn’t happen when abortion was illegal. That whole urban legend of millions of women dying of back ally abortions never happened.
    • The head of NARAL admitted he made that up (Bernard Nathanson of NARAL).
    • In 1972, there was only 32 deaths due to illegal abortions.
    • Turns out, when you make something illegal, people don’t do that thing. This is my case for being against drug legalization.
  • There is not one restrictive abortion law, including the one in Texas, that criminalizes or penalizes abortion that goes after the woman.

Here’s something better. A bunch of gals decided to get together and take abortion pills to prove their support for abortion. Here’s that little clip:

I don’t know about you and I’m no doctor, but a pill that enacts hormones to push something out of your body that’s naturally in your body sounds like it’s probably not great for your body. These pills don’t even get one high.

I don’t know how many abortion pills these gals took but I hope they took a whole bunch.

 

Politicians

Nancy Pelosi had something to say about it. I hate putting her clips on because, between her being 80 years old and her dentures, you can barely understand what she’s saying. But I think it’s rich hearing her say anything. Listen:

Some things:

  • We’ve already talked about stare decisis and the other arguments, which she doesn’t mention. So, we’ll go past that. By the way, the only argument she brought up was stare decisis.
  • This woman is a “Catholic” and has five children. Does she really believe in abortion? Is she really the best speaker for abortion? Could she have political motives to being pro-abortion.
  •  I do not want to get a sex-ed lecture from someone who’s pro-abortion.
    • Anti-abortionists take responsibility before you get pregnant!
    • Don’t have sex, use contraception, get married.
    • Get your life together before you do something that will get you pregnant.
    • Personal responsibility is part of the sexual act. I know the Left hates personal responsibility.
    • What anti-abortionists are saying is getting pregnant is a little late. Pregnancy isn’t spread like the cold. We know how it happens and where it comes from. Be responsible then. Once pregnant, the horse is out of the barn.

Here’s Pramila Jayapal, who seems to have become the new leader of The Squad:

Some things:

  • For me, Jayapal, who has had an abortion, shows she has no personal responsibility and bad judgement. She should not have a position of power in government.
  • Outside of that, she is admitting that the abortion argument is weak.
  • The back ally abortion thing is not a thing. It was a lie.

 

The Media

The media has also had a lot of problems with this. Let’s listen to the genius of The View, Joy Behar.

Some things:

  • I love getting lectured from pro-abortionists about sex and how we don’t know anything. The Left has forgotten that sex leads to pregnancy.
  • This is why I choose to use contraception over birth control. I think you need to control conception. Birth control controls birth. Abortion is part of that.
  • No one is having sex with Joy Behar. She is a disgusting human being and I find it contraception to hear anything about sex coming from her mouth.
  • She’s leaving The View. Though they have many idiots on that show, she is the queen idiot and I’ll miss her for comedic reasons.

Then there’s Whoopi Goldberg from The View. 

Some things:

  • I have been reliably told by the ladies of The View that men can get pregnant. She just blew her entire argument, right of the bat.
  • Also, it doesn’t matter if I’m a man or a women, both, or neither; evil is evil.
    • Slavery was ended by white men.
    • The right to vote was given by men.
  • Finally, no one is touching Whoopie Goldberg’s body.

 

Opinion

Here is a crazy article that goes on to demonize adoption. This is from the New York Times called I Was Adopted. I Know The Trauma It Can Inflict by Elizabeth Spiers. I find this essay disturbing because it is trying to demonize any alternative to abortion. What is funny about the article is just how insane it is. It makes no sense whatsoever.

It is also one of the most egregious examples of debating from the position of moral authority I have ever seen.

On Wednesday, as the Supreme Court heard oral arguments from state attorneys seeking to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, Justice Amy Coney Barrett kept getting at one question: Why was abortion necessary, when women who do not want to be mothers can simply give their babies up for adoption?

As an adoptee myself, I was floored by Justice Barrett’s assumption that adoption is an accessible and desirable alternative for women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant. She may not realize it, but what she is suggesting is that women don’t need access to abortion because they can simply go do a thing that is infinitely more difficult, expensive, dangerous and potentially traumatic than terminating a pregnancy during its early stages.

As an adoptive mother herself, Justice Barrett should have some inkling of the complexities of adoption and the toll it can inflict on children, as well as birth mothers. But she speaks as if adoption is some kind of idyllic fairy tale. My own adoption actually was what many would consider idyllic. I was raised by two adoptive parents, Alice and Terry, from the time I was an infant, and grew up in a home where I knew every day that I was loved. A few years ago, I found my biological mother, Maria, and three siblings I didn’t know I had via a DNA test and Facebook.

The first time I spoke to Maria on the phone — she lives in Alabama, not too far from my parents, and I live in Brooklyn — she apologized repeatedly for giving me up and told me she loved me and that I would always be family. “You are blood,” she would say later. I told her, and continue to tell her, every time she brings it up, that the apology is unnecessary. I had a wonderful childhood and I believe she had made the right decision. But she remains heartbroken about the years we missed together.

Both Maria and my mom, Alice, oppose abortion on religious grounds. My mom is white and Southern Baptist; Maria is Hispanic and Pentecostal. Both like to point to me to justify their beliefs, saying that had Maria gotten an abortion, I would not exist. It’s a familiar argument: The anti-abortion movement likes to invoke Nobel Prize winners who might never have materialized, or potential adoptees who might have cured cancer, if they hadn’t been aborted at eight weeks.

I’m no Nobel Prize winner, but I still resent being used as a political football by the right. I believe that abortion is a form of health care, and that every woman should have access to it if she needs it. But perhaps more than that, I resent the suggestion by people like Justice Barrett that adoption is a simple solution, and I resent it on behalf of Maria, who found the choice she made traumatizing and still feels that pain, 44 years later. Even when an adoption works out well, as it did in my case, it is still fraught.

When I echo Maria in saying that she “gave me up,” the language always rankles adoptive parents, because it introduces an unpleasant complexity — implying that my birth mother was not completely happy with her choice. Or worse, that it made her miserable. But that is sometimes the case, even when adoption is the best option for all involved. Adoption is not always an unalloyed good. It’s a complicated choice in a situation that has no right or wrong answer.

If the court overturns Roe v. Wade, many women will be forced to give birth to children they did not want or did not feel that they could afford to support. While pregnant, they will undergo the bonding with a child that happens by biological design as an embryo develops into a living, breathing, conscious human. And then that child will be taken away.

The right likes to suggest that abortion is a traumatic experience for women — a last resort, a painful memory. But adoption is often just as traumatic as the right thinks abortion is, if not more so, as a woman has to relinquish not a lump of cells but a fully formed baby she has lived with for nine months.

I’m a mother myself, to an adorable 6-year-old self-proclaimed Fortnite expert, and as is often the case, I did not know I was pregnant with him until the usual symptoms appeared a few weeks into the pregnancy. As anyone who has gestated a human will tell you, there is a vast difference between the fourth week of pregnancy and the 40th. By the 40th, you’re familiar with your baby’s regular rhythms of kicking and moving. When I awoke, my son would wake up shortly after and I’d feel him turning and stretching, or less pleasantly, jamming his precious little foot into what felt like my cervix. This is one of the paradoxes of pregnancy: Something alien is usurping your body and sapping you of nutrition and energy, but you’re programmed to gleefully enable it and you become desperately protective of it. It’s a kind of biological brainwashing. And this often happens whether you want to be a parent or not.

Justice Barrett is well aware of the kind of biological brainwashing that occurs during pregnancy; she gave birth to five children. And yet she blithely seems to assume that a mother can simply choose not to bond with the child she’s gestating solely on the basis that she is not ready to be a mother or believes that she is unable to provide for the child. She assumes that the mother will be supported financially and otherwise, throughout the pregnancy, even in a country where maternal mortality statistics are abysmal. And she assumes that children surrendered for adoption will find a home, and not a bed in the foster care system. She probably assumes these things because she cannot fathom being in this position herself. These are assumptions that stem from the privilege of being financially secure, having never needed an abortion, and perhaps the assumption that women who do have done something wrong and must face the consequences.

In my experience, some on the right believe that the trauma adoption inflicts is a consequence of irresponsibility. But unexpected pregnancy is not a de facto function of bad decision making. It can be a failure of contraception, the product of a rape, a mistaken belief that a woman is infertile. There is no justifiable reason to inflict harm on women and the babies they might produce in any of these situations, regardless of judgment.

The trauma doesn’t just affect mothers, either. Researchers have a term for what children who are adopted, even as infants, may suffer from later in life: relinquishment trauma. The premise is that babies bond with their mothers in utero and become familiar with their behaviors. When their first caretaker is not the biological mother, they register the difference and the stress of it has lasting effects.

I probably got off easy in that respect, in part because I did spend a few months with my biological mother before I was adopted, but that had the unintended effect of traumatizing my older siblings, who remember me as a baby who was there, and then suddenly was gone. This was driven home to me by my older sister Bobbi, whose first encounter with me was over Facebook. “All I can say is I remember you,” she wrote. “I have loved you and missed you my entire life.”

What Justice Barrett and others are suggesting women do in lieu of abortion is not a small thing. It is life changing, irrevocable, and not to be taken lightly. It often causes trauma, even when things work out, and it’s a disservice to adoptees and their families, biological and adopted, to pretend otherwise in service of a neat political narrative.

Episode 458 – The Arguments

We went through the Mississippi 15-week abortion limits, Roe versus Wade and Planned Parenthood versus Casey. Now, let’s look at the arguments from this week’s Dobbs versus Jackson’s Women Health Organization.

 

The Arguments

I struggled to figure out how to format this whole thing and I decided to focus on the arguments of the lawyers rather than all of the questions from the Justices, though we will look at a couple of the questions and comments. This is because we can get an idea on how they are going to rule and we can see who is an activist on the court and who is actually looking at the precedents.

Now, please understand something. I am biased. I am very anti-abortion.

 

Argument to Overturn Roe and Casey

The lawyer arguing for the Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks is the Mississippi Solicitor General, Scott Stuart. Let’s listen to his opening:

Some things:

  1. The statements in the beginning where he says the damage that Roe and Casey have done are correct though they aren’t the first cases that did this. But, the cases are damaging because of the deaths they have caused over the last 50 years.
  2. This is an interesting point he brings up. There seems to be this belief that if a woman is in mortal danger by giving birth, she still can’t get an abortion. This is hogwash and always has been.
    • The mother’s life has always been more important than the fetus’s life. Abortion has always been permissible.
    • Even conservative religions like Catholicism and Judaism believe this and permit abortion when the mother’s life is in danger.
  3.  All of this is true.
      • We know for a fact that the baby is a human being at conception.
      • We know that abortion is both psychologically, emotionally and physically damaging to the woman. We just have to look at Kermit Gosnell to know this. Many of his patients were left sterile and a few died.
      • The process of abortion is brutal.
        • The doctor poisons the fetus.
        • Sucks out the brain to collapse the skull.
        • The cuts the fetus into pieces and then sucks out the pieces. This is also a major cause for infection within the woman.
  4. This is a very important point.
          • The idea with the Constitution is that decisions like this is left to the people of the state unless it is directly mentioned in the Constitution.
          • Abortion is not mentioned, at all, in the Constitution.
          • Privacy, which is what Roe rides on, is not mentioned in the Constitution.
          • Therefore, it should be up to the people of the state to make the decision on whether abortion is legal, restricted or illegal.
          • I also liked the way he argued for the rights of the fetus and killing the fetus violates his rights to due process and “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”.
  5. This is also the great lie of the Left. If Roe and Casey are overturned, abortion will not be banned throughout the country. Quite the opposite for certain states like California, New York or Virginia. Abortion will probably be expanded. In those states you might be able to abort a kid after it is born.

One thing he does not mention in “women’s rights”. This is not an accident. It is not a right if that right harms another. In his argument, he makes very clear the humanity of the baby though I would have liked him to make a more scientific argument (though I am sure that is in his written brief and he only has two minutes for oral arguments).

 

 

Argument to Keep Roe and Casey

The respondent is Julie Rikelman who is the Senior Director of the Center for Reproductive Rights. Let’s Listen to her opening:

Some things:

  1. Her first premise is way off here.
    1. The viability standard is a subjective, non-scientific standard. There are children that have survived outside the womb over a month before the viability standard.
    2. The problem with the precedent is that it was unconstitutional.
    3. The forcing of women to “remain pregnant and force birth” is a false argument. The choice was when they decided to have sex and get pregnant. Nothing was being done against their will while getting pregnant.
  2. Stare Decisis is a weak argument.
    1. Stare decisis is defined is Latin for “to stand by things decided.” In short, it is the doctrine of precedent. Courts cite to stare decisis when an issue has been previously brought to the court and a ruling already issued. … Horizontal stare decisis refers to a court adhering to its own precedent.
    2. There have been plenty of precedents overturned in spite of stare decisis including Dread Scott to end Jim Crow laws. Why? Because they were evil and previous court cases were wrong which allowed the evil to continue.
    3. But I would say this is her strongest case.
    4. I also want to point out that she talked about “liberty” throughout her argument and not “privacy”. That’s because that is the wording of Section 1 of the XIV Amendment and she knows she has a bunch of textualists in the court.
    5. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong and how long a bad precedent has been around is irrelevant.
  3. The argument against this is simple:
    1. Roe and Casey weren’t right. They’re wrong morally, legally and scientifically.
    2. Again, the state is not taking anyone’s liberty away. It’s restoring the liberty of the baby.
    3. Abortion also has physical and emotional risks. Abortion is not safe, especially for the human being who is being terminated.
    4. I love the talk of consequences. Right now, consequences are on the federal government. By overturning Roe and Casey, consequences shift to the woman and man to take responsibility not to get pregnant.
    5. Again:
      1. Not a right when it violates the rights of another (in this case, the fetus).
      2. Not a Constitutional right because it’s not in the Constitution, which is why Roe and Casey are bad precedents.
  4. Propel women backwards?
    1. Everyone’s a victim. Women, poor women, she didn’t say women of color probably because Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood was a racist and a eugenicist and that would have opened a can of worms.
    2. What about the baby? Dead is pretty backwards. Notice, the baby is not one of her victims.
    3. Here’s something: Responsibility and consequences for bad decisions does sometimes suck.

Notice she doesn’t address something in this entire argument. She never denies that the fetus is a human being. She arguing about the viability of that human being and that should be the basis of the court’s decision. You hear during abortion protests that the fetus is just a clump of cells. Rikelman doesn’t say that. That does not make for a good argument when your opponent is arguing you’re killing a human being.

In fact, she doesn’t mention the fetus at all in her argument. It’s all women’s rights crap. The fetus is a human being. It is a human being at conception. Rikelman doesn’t argue that. This is the problem with the pro-abortion crowd. They can’t argue any of the facts. She did nothing to convince me of anything.

 

The Justices

Here’s Clarence Thomas asking Rikelman about what argument she’s trying to make.

Some things:

  • Thomas scored a huge hit on Rikelman.
  • Rikelman seems to be trying to rewrite Roe.
  • Roe was about privacy, not liberty. This is a problem for her because justices like Thomas may see the precedent as invalid since the XIV Amendment does not mention privacy.
  • Instead of saying, “I don’t know,” she goes on about liberty as if it means privacy.
  • She has no answer.

Here’s Justice Sotomayor making an insane comparison and expecting Stuart to answer to insanity.

Some things here:

  • I used to think you had to be smart to be on the Supreme Court. I have been corrected. This is an insane assertion. Or just an assertion of the truly stupid.
  • Brain death is degenerative and will lead to…wait for it…death.
  • A fetus is a developing person. In fact, a human being’s brain develops until the age of 25 when their prefrontal cortex is, finally, fully developed. That’s why people do stupid things at 21.
  • Sotomayor has shown herself as a biased, activist judge.
  • There is no reason for Stuart to take any of her question seriously. She has already made her choice.
  • This also shows how these judges, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, feel that the Constitution can be manipulated.

But, Sotomayor continues with her stupidity, totally missing what her job is. I can’t believe this broad in on the Supreme Court for the rest of her life:

Some things:

  • Um…what?
  • She has been appointed to the Supreme Court for life so she would be immune to public opinion and politics.
    • Read the Constitution.
    • Read The Federalist Papers.
    • She should be impeached from the court because she believes this.
  • Casey and Roe, which is what Stuart argues, were create because of popular opinion and politics. That shouldn’t have happened.
  • One thing I want to point out: She muddies the waters between the rights that are actually guaranteed by the Constitution and rights that are permitted by precedence. That is a huge mistake.
    • The only rights that are guaranteed are the ones through the Constitution. These are divine and God-given.
    • Rights through precedence are not rights. They are law that can be overturned.
    • If you want a right to be guaranteed, to be defined as God-given, we must go through the amendment process.
    • Abortion would never make it through the amendment process. It’s been tried.
  • This just shows we need term limits for Supreme Court Justices.

Here is Sotomayer continuing to be an idiot. This time, she not only denigrates Stuart’s argument but insults 80% of the United States. So much for giving a crap what the people think.

Some things:

  • I love this question. It shows the Left for what they are.
  • First off, Stuart made reasonable, moral argument. He never said anything about religion.
  • Second, debates about life, philosophically, which is what Sotomayor wants to focus on, does not change the science. That’s telling about how she is going to rule. She’s ignoring the science, which is absolute, and bringing it to a philosophical question, which isn’t. Science says, life starts at conception. Philosophy, at this point, is not even a question. It’s not even a debating point.
  • Stuart never made a religious or philosophical argument. It is a scientific argument based on decades of research. That’s why he’s so thrown off at the question.
  • It is actually Rikelman that makes the philosophical argument that is based on what we knew in 1993 with Casey.
  • Outside of the fact this is a smack at religion (in this case, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which all ban abortion) it equates religion with morality.
  • And, it pushes law away from morality which law has a very iffy relationship with morality anyway.
  • Unfortunately, I could only answer these questions with questions because this is an insane question:
    • Is all morality based on religion?
    •  If so, with that fictitious separation of Church and State from that misread letter by Thomas Jefferson, does that mean law needs to be completely separated from morality?
  • Of course, neither is correct. If so, one could make murder arguably legal because those against murder could be see as moral and, therefore, religious. And we have separation of church and state.
  • This question has not been criticized enough. It’s an insane question.

Not the end of insanity when it comes to religion.

Here is Justice Stephen Breyer asking Stuart what atheists have said abortion is bad.

Some things:

  • Philosopher and bioethicists? Is this f-ing guy kidding?
  • Stuart is basing everything on actual science. Not ethics, not philosophy.

But let’s look at a couple of atheists who touted morality.

How about Friedrich Nietzsche. A humanist. When he said, “God is Dead” in The Gay Science, he wasn’t celebrating God being dead. He was lamenting it. He thought man needed religious morality to keep him from being tyrannical which would have led to the deaths of people.

What other philosopher believed in morality, not necessarily, religious morality? Albert Camus, the Absurdist who broke away from Jean Paul Sartre’s Existentialism. In The Stranger, he said we still have moral responsibility even though there is no moral bounds created by religion.

But, the reality is, Stuart made a scientific argument. He made a Constitutional argument. Religion had nothing to do with it.

Here is Clarence Thomas bringing things back to reality. What’s the law? What is it in the Constitution that makes your summation right?

Some things:

  • Thomas is looking for words.
  • She has none. She keeps throwing out keywords Thomas might like. One of the words she doesn’t throw out is “privacy”.
  • This is weak tea.

Thomas keeps pushing and he shows how lacking the pro-abortion attorney is in knowledge.

Some things:

  • Typical Leftist response.
  • Thomas asks a specific question. “What Constitution says abortion is Constitutional?”
  • Rikelman gives a long-winded word-salad that does not answer his question.
  • Thomas, in a few words, rephrases her answer. Is abortion the Constitution guarantees?
  • She gives a long worded that abortion is the guarantee in the Constitution.
  • Here’s the problem for the pro-abortion litigant: Abortion is not defined in the Constitution.
  • There would be no reason for Roe or Casey if it was. I’m sire she’s kicking herself in the ass right now.

 

So, What’s Next?

Episode 444 – Those Darned Elves!

Joe’s polls are so bad, he can’t control his sphincter.

California doesn’t get that woke is bad.

And Saturday Night Live gets tacky.

 

This Just Keeps Getting Worse

A new poll was released on Sunday and the news just keeps getting worse for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The main line of the poll is that over 60% of those polled do not want Biden to run in 2024 (if he makes it that far).

The poll is from USA Today and Suffolk University.

Here are the takeaways from the poll:

  • “Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him. Independents, by 7-1 (44%-6%), say he’s done worse, not better, than they expected.”
  • “Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 64%, say they don’t want Biden to run for a second term in 2024. That includes 28% of Democrats.”
  • “Vice President Kamala Harris’ approval rating is 28% – even worse than Biden’s. The poll shows that 51% disapprove of the job she’s doing.”
  • “If the election were today, those surveyed say, they would vote for their Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic one by 46%-38%, an advantage that would bode well for GOP hopes of gaining a majority in the House and the Senate.”
  • 75% believe that the Build Back Better bill would hurt their families.
  • A strong majority of Americans, 66%, say that the country is headed in the wrong direction, while only 20% say it is headed in the right direction.

Legendary Democrat strategist James Carville said during an interview last week:

And that is exactly right. People don’t like where the Democrat party is going or all these weird social changes. People don’t like being called racists and stupid for not understanding what the Left is doing. Bill Maher said the same thing this week.

But the Dems and Biden aren’t learning anything. They are suffering from heavy arrogance. They think they need to go harder and faster. They think that not spending trillions of dollars is the reason they lost last Tuesday.

Well, keep it up. Go more Left. Let’s see how that works out for them in a year.

California is Not Getting It

California has decided that math needs to go woke. I think we talked about that in an earlier podcast when we talked about how math is racist. Now, California is going to make math anti-racist.

The plan was to be voted on this month and be implemented in February. It will include:

  • Discouraging the concept of gifted students.
  • Inject social justice concepts into math including gender theory and inequality.
  • Replacing high level classes.

The New York Times reported:

The California guidelines, which are not binding, could overhaul the way many school districts approach math instruction. The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, like data science or statistics.

The draft also suggested that math should not be colorblind and that teachers could use lessons to explore social justice — for example, by looking out for gender stereotypes in word problems, or applying math concepts to topics like immigration or inequality. …

Like some of the attempted reforms of decades past, the draft of the California guidelines favored a more conceptual approach to learning: more collaborating and problem solving, less memorizing formulas.

It also promoted something called de-tracking, which keeps students together longer instead of separating high achievers into advanced classes before high school.

This is insane.

The idea for California is student who first realizes he is not good at math just believes he’s not good at math. I know the feeling. I’m not good at math. My son-in-law, great at math. But California believes it can make math more equitable if they just take the math that is hard out of math. There cannot be those people that are good at math and that talent be babied to its ends. We don’t want any of these kids feeding their talents so they can build rockets, launch people into space or invent the greatest electric vehicle.

By the way, do you want to fly in a plane designed with someone who flourished in math due to the equity that was created?

Well, this isn’t going unanswered. The proposed framework has received condemnations from hundreds of STEM field professionals, educators, and public officials who have signed on to an open letter released in July to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, the State Board of Education, and the Instructional Quality Commission.

The letter stated:

“The proposed framework would, in effect, de-mathematize math. For all the rhetoric in this framework about equity, social justice, environmental care and culturally appropriate pedagogy, there is no realistic hope for a more fair, just, equal and well-stewarded society if our schools uproot long-proven, reliable and highly effective math methods and instead try to build a mathless Brave New World on a foundation of unsound ideology.

“A real champion of equity and justice would want all California’s children to learn actual math — as in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus — not an endless river of new pedagogical fads that effectively distort and displace actual math.”

I’ve said this in the past. Math is objective. Numbers and formulas do not have biases. They don’t care about one’s race or social class. We have gotten a space ship to Pluto (math), took digital pictures (math) and sent them back to Earth (math). We’ve landed on the moon (math). We’ve invented the Internet. You know what computers speak? That’s right, they speak math.

While living your life tomorrow, think of all the things you do and think about how the precision and objective perfection of math affects your life. Think about the things you use on a daily basis and try to figure out if math was necessary to create those tools.

Then think about what we’d be missing if math was retarded in the same way California wants to do.

Clown Abortion? Really?

Saturday Night Live has gone off the rails. Now the show has not been really funny in a very long time. I stopped watching a long time ago. But they really overstepped this time and I’m not sure it came across the way they wanted it to.

This clip is about the Texas anti-abortion law. They decide to make it funny my bringing in a female clown who made the abortion she had before her 23rd birthday as part of her clown act. Listen to a snippet of it

Some things here:

  • I’ll just say this right off. The sketch is not funny. It’s not even clever. These “clowns” at the pro-abortion rallies basically say the same thing.
  • The laughing of the audience is truly sick.
  • We are living in a sick society when over half the country believes that abortion is killing babies and the other half thinks it’s nothing more than a joke.
    • I’m sorry, but there have been 60 million abortions since Roe versus Wade. For people like me, who think abortion is murder, that is genocide is way worse than what the Nazis did. Yet I’m a fascist and Nazi for being against abortion.
    • This is completely one-sided. This doesn’t try to sympathize with the anti-abortionists. And they wonder why their ratings are so down.
    • Louis CK did a great act about abortion. But he took both sides. In fact, he was a tad more sympathetic to the anti-abortion side.
  • There was something that I think I caught watching this. I could be wrong because the acting on SNL isn’t really a quality thing. There’s kind of a sadness about her performance. Almost an embarrassment about killing a baby. This doesn’t seem like a celebration but a resignation.

Is This a Joke?

Yes, it is.

Christmas is coming so you know that the anti-fun Left is going to come out and attack it. We have already heard that Jesus is black. That happened last week. Since no one really knows the color of Jesus because no one cared about that sort of thing back then, we really don’t know the color of Jesus. I’ll go a step further, I really don’t care what the skin tone of Jesus was. He is a little beyond that.

But a judge has already overstepped his bounds. Cobb County Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Leonard has banned the Elf on a Shelf Christmas decoration. If you don’t know what Elf on a Shelf is, it is a Christmas decoration that bends much like the old Gumbys did. It is meant to sit on a shelf and watch your children to make sure they are being good so Santa Clause will give the kids a toy for Christmas instead of coal.

Well, kids probably aren’t getting coal because the cost of energy are too high. Reality is, kids are probably hoping for a piece of coal because heating the home is brutal. Then again, kids might not get a toy because the supply chain crisis is so bad that Santa can’t get resources needed to create the toys. The fact is, the only kids that will be getting toys are the illegal aliens that got $450K for crossing the border illegally. They can afford it.

Anyway, this judge released a statement about the evil little Christmas decorations:

“Tired of living in Elf on the Shelf tyranny? Not looking forward to the Elf forgetting to move and causing your kids emotional distress? I am a public servant and will take the heat for you. My gift to tired parents.

“Inexplicably, Elves sometimes move and don’t move overnight. When those Elves do not move, it leaves our children of tender years in states of extreme emotional distress.”

This anti-Santa, evil judge than released a tweet with a statement with his order:

That bastard.

Guys it was a joke! This is good fun!

Episode 406 – Let’s Bring a Little Culture

Biden makes a speech and it was a hell of an acting job.

And enough about Afghanistan. What’s happening here?

 

Biden’s Speech

One word: Terrible.

It looked like someone wrote his speech, gave him a shot of meth then pushed him toward the podium.

  • He was yelling. I think he was trying to show how strong he is but it could also be because he was trying to wake reporters up because he was a half hour late.
  • He said this whole thing was a success. Are you kidding?!
  • He inflated the numbers of people he got out of Afghanistan.
  • He said this was the greatest airlift is history, comparing it to the Berlin airlift. Looked more like the Saigon airlift.
  • He said it was a huge success but blamed Trump (twice), the Afghan government and the Afghan military and the people who are stuck in Afghanistan. But the buck stops with him. See the contradiction?
  • He threatened all those who are terrorists and planning terror attacks. Not sure what he’s going to do about it but whatever. It’s talk.
  • Finally, he talked abut his dead son. I’m sorry, but this is disgusting. His son died of brain cancer when he was 46. A twenty-year-old soldier dying from a terrorist attack while being stationed in a war zone that Old Joe crreated. This is a cynical, pathetic attempt to appear empathetic and gain some sympathy.
  • When he finished, he took no questions, turned and couldn’t find his way to the exit.

There was no mention:

  • Bribing the Taliban to get our people back.
  • The executions of the Taliban.
  • The military stuff the left behind.
  • The fact that the Taliban is flying the helicopters are being flown by the Taliban.
  • The fact they are hanging people from our helicopters.
  • Nothing about the dozens of military support dogs we left behind.

But it was Trump’s fault.

It was a bad speech. The stronger he tries to look, the weaker he looks.

 

F- Him

According to the Wall Street Journal, Joe Biden has decided to abandon an Afghan ally, a man widely embraced by the U.S. military. OK, so? Isn’t he doing that with a lot of people?

Yes, he is. But this guy saved Biden’s life while he was in Afghanistan in 2008.

Biden was in Afghanistan with two other Senators: John Kerry and Chuck Hagel. They were on a helicopter in an area of Afghanistan that wasn’t Taliban controlled but was still dangerous. They we hit by a snow storm and the helicopters had to land. They called a U.S. base and a man named Mohammod joined the soldiers to get them out. Mohammod, whose name was kept quiet because the Taliban is hunting for them, joined the soldiers on the two hour, twenty mile trip.

Now, this is a really trusted guy. He’s been on hundreds of trips with our military and was even given a weapon when they might get into a scrap. There are many soldiers that know the guy and are begging Biden to get him out.

Crickets.

Mohammod sent a message to Joe Biden. He’s is currently in hiding from the Taliban with his family.

He said:

“Hello Mr. President: Save me and my family. Don’t forget me here. I can’t leave my house. I’m very scared.”  

Biden has yet to comment about it. Jen Psaki said:

“We will get you out. We will honor your service.”

I won’t hold me breath.

Chipping Away

Texas passed one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country earlier this year. Basically, the law states that an abortion would be illegal after a heartbeat can be detected. A baby’s heartbeat can be detected at about six weeks. If a doctor commits and abortion, he can be sued and given a $10,000 fine plus have to pay the legal fees of the plantive. There is no legal action against to woman who has the abortion.

A lower federal ruled the law was Constitutional and could move forward. An appeals court and the Supreme Court refused to listen to the case. Today, the law goes into affect.

Now, you know what I think about abortion. I’ll give you a review in case you missed the thirty podcasts I had talking about it: It’s murder. Morally it’s murder. Philosophically it’s murder. Scientifically it’s murder. Roe vs. Wade is a garbage ruling and should be overturned. I have debated this about a thousand times and have never lost the debate.

But that’s not what’s great about this law and what anti-abortion states need to do.

The problem with the other laws that might have issues with the appeallet courts is that they make abortion criminal. This law makes abortion civil which is why the courts wouldn’t hear it.

Abortion is not going to be eliminated in this country. That’s because it is too ingrained into society like slavery was. But it can be chipped away until it becomes the moral abomination that it is, just like slavery. Laws like these are how we’re going to do it.

The Left, of course is flipping out.

Nancy Pelosi said:

Here that? It’s a catastrophe that more kids are born.

Here’s Rashida Tlaib:

What? Again?

Need to wipe your butt? Use one less sheet.

We are now in a toilet paper and paper towel shortage. I thought this was a joke until I went to Walmart and Costco. Costco was out of paper towels and Walmart only allowed the purchase of two packs per family.

Now, I live alone. I have one pack of toilet paper and one pack of paper towels. I’m good for six months. Unless Josie comes over. She uses a lot of toilet paper.

Here’s what happened:

  • Before the pandemic, supply and demand was normal.
  • When the pandemic hit, people overbought paper towels and toilet paper because they thought the world was ending.
  • The manufaturers produced more and more to keep up with demand.
  • Eventually, people had their fill of toilet paper and stopped buying.
  • Companies, overbuying toilet paper, had huge inventories that weren’t moving.
  • Manufactuerers slowed production of toilet paper, below pre-pandemic levels because they didn’t want to have high inventories.
  • People began to run out of their stocks of toilet paper and the delta variant of the China virus popped back up.
  • Stores started running out and ordered more to keep up with demand.
  • Manufacterers now have to run 24/7 to keep up with demand.

Pretty neat how the free market works.

The reason I was interested in this story is because it shows the delicate balance between supply and demand. The manufacturers and stores have to be careful not to get stuck with huge inventories but that’s depended on the customers. The pandemic put supply and demand in chaos and, as we see in this story, it could be a couple of years before the toilet paper industry stablizes. I know that sounds stupid but, when you go to Costco and can only buy one bag, remember that’s why.

It also explains why our gas is going up. Remember, Biden didn’t want to produce oil in this country anymore (prices go up) but OPEC isn’t producing as much oil because of the pandemic and they don’t want to get stuck with a lot of inventory. When Joe Biden asks OPEC to produce more oil so he can keep prices stable, they say no. That’s because they have to keep that balance or oil prices will go sky high or crash.

Running is Racist

The Boston Athletics Assocoiation has had to apologize because they scheduled the Boston Marathon on October 10. That happens to be Indigeious People’s Day.

The directors said they would celebrate Indigenious Peoples Day with a bunch of ceremonies before the race. There’s no way they can cancel this race this close to race day.

Normally, the race is help on Patriot’s day, which this year is October 18th. I’m not sure why they changed the race date and it wasn’t mentioned in the article. Probably because the race directors for the Boston Marathon were all white and racist.

Let’s talk a little about Indigenious Peoples Day…it’s BS.

This was a holiday that was started in Berkley, Californiain 1992 by a bunch of politically correct college students that wanted to counter Columbus Day because they didn’t know anything about history and thought that Christopher Columbus was a racist colonizer that killed all the Indians. That’s BS and I think you’veheard me talk about the Indians in past podcasts. I’ll give you a little overview: The Indians were not peaceful, nature-loving vegetarians like the Left wants you to believe.

Indigenious People’s Day does not celebrate anything specific (Mexicans are sometimes called indigenious people) and it not a national holiday. It is celebrated by some states and a bunch of localities and cities have named it a holiday. Guess what though: People still have to go to work. It seems like it is like Kwanza. Some crap some people made up to make a holiday to counter Christmas which is racist.

That’s a real cynical reason to created a holiday. That’s why I piss on that holiday. The least the hippies at Berkley could have done is make it like Cinco de Mayo so we can drink. But I digress.

Boston, Massachusetts is not one of those cities that celebrates Indigenious Peoples Day. So what the hell are the apologizing about? And when is holding a marathon, one that is far older than this stupid “holiday”, an insult to the Indians?

It’s not. People just need something to bitch about. If I were the race director, I would have told these people to f- off.

Knew This Was Coming

The Leftists really want our kids to wear masks. Not for any particular scientific reason.

  • We know kids don’t catch it easily.
  • We know kids don’t spread it easily.
  • We know kids don’t get really sick much less die.
  • We know that cloth masks don’t work.

We do know, scientifically, the masks are actually bad for children:

  • Socialization is lessened by wearing a mask.
  • Speech patterns cannot be analyzed by children when they can’t see a teacher pronounce words.
  • CO2 levels in a child’s blood stream go up because the child is breathing in his own air. This causes:
    • Low oxygen levels.
    • Fatigue.
    • Attention deficit.

But the Left wants all to bend the knee.

Some states have banned mask mandates like Texas and Florida. Well, the Left has found a new way to attack the mask mandates: the American Disabilities Act.

Greg Abbott is now being sued. The lawsuit states that banning mask mandates violates the ADA because a child that pre-existing conditions is put in danger if no one is required to wear a mask. This is not the first lawsuit brought into the courts. I believe there is a couple in Florida suing for the same thing. Their child has pre-existing condition and this couple does want their school to implement a mask mandate.

This lawsuit is going to have some problems:

  • The science on masks it sketchy at best. There are a couple of studies that state masks are actually bad unless an N-95 or KN-95 masks are used and constantly changed out.
  • There was never a need for masks in schools befoer the China virus. The flu kills more children than COVID. Last year, 480 kids died of the flu while only 360 died of the China virus.
  • The above puts another point to it: Why should all children be subjected to masks when the disease affests so few?

These areguements in themselves should be enough to throw this out of court. But here’s the real arguement: The ADA means we have to add things to make it easier for those with disabilities. A ramp for folks in wheelchairs. Handicap parking spaces for those who have trouble walking. Wider bathroom stalls for those who need wheelchairs. It’s not meant to limit a person’s freedom. And I would say forcing my children to wear a face covering is limiting their freedom and my freedom to determine what is good for my children.

This lawsuit actually goes against the ADA. The ADA is meant to expand freedom of movement for a few, not limit movement for the majority to protect the few. I would say limiting my child’s ability to breath is restrictng her movement.

The other major problem with this lawsuit is basing things on what might happen not on the condition that already exists. What do I mean by this? A ramp is put in front of a business because someone is in a wheelchair. You want my kids to wear a mask because someone might catch the China virus and get really sick. That’s not a thing and not what is eant when the ADA was designed.

Here’s the reality: If you have a kid that has a pre-existing condition, you need to take care of your kid in whatever way you see fit without stepping on the rights of my kid and my right to take care of my kid they way I see fit. I don’t want kids to die but kids do die and it’s the parents’ job to protect their children. It’s not my job to protect all kids at the expense of my kid.

Episode 350 – Could Be the End of an Era

The overturning of Roe versus Wade is going in front of the Supreme Court.

Let’s talk about Roe versus Wade and why it should be overturned, how abortion is murder and the media’s reaction.

And, finally, let’s talk about what is going to happen if it is overturned.

 

Prepare for Another Flip Out

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday, for the first time under its new 6-3 conservative majority, to hear an abortion case, potentially threatening the long-standing 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized aborting a fetus until 24 weeks, generally considered to be the stage of viability.

The case specifically challenges Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Both sides are projecting at least a partial erosion of abortion rights, given the court’s conservative majority.

This case is huge. I really didn’t expect they would take the case because it is a hand grenade politically and this court has proven that they are a little gun shy when it comes to controversial cases.

THIS IS HUGE!!

For legal scholars, Roe versus Wade has been very problematic.

  • During the case in 1973, the science is what a fetus actually is was questionable.
  • Test tube babies threw out the the concept that a baby was dependent on the mother in 1978.
  • The solution of DNA in the 1990s proved that a fetus had the DNA of both parents but didn’t match either parent. In other words, DNA proved the fetus had its own DNA.
  • Further research found that the fetus develops a nervous system at three weeks.
  • At four weeks, the baby has a face and neck.
  • At eight weeks, the fetus has arms, legs, fingers, toes, a heart and lungs.
  • At 12 weeks, the heart beat can be heard and the sex can be determined.
  • At 16 weeks, the baby’s eyes can blink and the heart and blood vessels are fully formed. The baby’s fingers and toes have fingerprints.
  • At 18 weeks, babies have survived outside the womb.
  • At 20 weeks, the baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. Soon — if you haven’t already — you’ll feel your baby move, which is called “quickening.”

The Justices in 1973 didn’t know any of this. So they ruled in Roe versus Wade that the fetus was part of the female body, like a hand, and had the right to privacy to deal with her body in the way she sees fit.

It was a chickenshit, political ruling.

All major medical institutions throughout the world acknowledge that the fetus is a separate human life at conception. Period. Done. A woman has no more “right to privacy” to kill a baby than I have to kill my fiancé while alone in my apartment,  even though I have a right to privacy in my apartment. Also, a woman has no more right to privacy to kill her unborn baby at 24 weeks, which the child is viable, than she does when the child is three days old. It’s the same child.

Roe versus Wade could, very well, be over turned. I’ll go a step further, it should be overturned. It’s a crap law based on flawed science with a really weak ruling.

The Media

Of course, the media loves abortion because they are all Leftists. The problem is they can’t argue for it because it is murder. So what do they do? They call anti-abortionists bad names.

Chris Cuomo from CNN suggested that the reason anti-abortionists want to overturn Roe v. Wade is because we are all racist. Cuomo said:

“It’s not about science or consensus. It’s about dividing lines, legislating to the far-right white-fright vote, flooding the zone with 536 bills that abridge a woman’s right to control her own body, in 46 states. It’s just like voting rights in one way.”

No debate. No argument. Just name calling. By the way, does it even bother anyone being called a racist anymore? I feel if I am not called a racist I might have to rethink my position.

Of course you can’t have an abortion debate without calling someone a sexist.

Joy Reid of MSNBC, who is just a terrible person, said:

“The conservative-led Supreme Court has agreed to take up Mississippi’s restrictive abortion law, and women’s reproductive rights appear to be in serious, serious danger. It’s straight out of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ with a Gilead-style government, right here in America.”

She was also quoted saying:

“It’s a terrifying prospect eerily reminiscent of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ where far-right wings religious extremists took up arms against their own country, one where women and their bodies were under the complete control of almost extravagantly corrupt and hypocritical men of god, quote, unquote. What’s so scary and frankly traumatizing about that show and the book that inspired it is that it starts off in the very place that we live in right now where women have the right to choose what they do with their bodies until they don’t. And then in what seems like a blink of an eye, those rights were just gone.”

There’s no debate or reason with these people. That’s because they have no argument. This is a group that, supposedly, follows the science unless the science contradicts their agenda. The good news is that people are getting tired of being called names and they are supporting things based on their conscience.

Let’s Say It Happens

This is what I find weird about this whole mess. All these people screaming about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, if it happens, know very little about the Constitution. The reason it could get overturned is because the Constitution does not address abortion. That’s why the ruling will probably be overturned.

And not much is going to happen if it does get overturned. Abortion is not going to be banned in places like California and New York. It just means that states will have the option to ban it or restrict it or keep it legal.

Episode 342 – Tsunami Inbound!

It’s coming. Like the cicadas. Like the Chinese rocket from space. It’s coming and it’s going to bite us all.

AOC is still an idiot.

Joe Biden needs to stop calling himself a Catholic.

And Andrew Cuomo, the guy who should have been impeached by now, is embracing segregation.

 

Things Aren’t Going Well

Joe Biden got some bad news. The jobs numbers came out today and it was one fifth of what was expected. This is going to have some consequences.

  • There were 266,000 jobs created in April.
  • The Budget Office expected almost a million jobs to be created in April.
  • The unemployment rate went up to 6.1%.
  • The unemployment rate is expected to be higher based on the fact a lot of people are not returning to the workforce.

Reasons why this is happening:

  • Schools are still closed.
  • The economy remains closed. It is opening but states like California and Michigan are still really restricting business.
  • The mixed messaging by the White House and Tony Fauci about the effectiveness of the vaccines and where we are in respect to the pandemic.
  • There have been reports that we may never reach herd immunity. This thing is never going to end.
  • The government has been giving out money for the last year and there are no plans by the Democrats to stop. People are being paid more to stay at home.
  • Businesses like McDonald’s can’t get low wage workers. They are offering $50 to people for just applying for a job.

Joe Biden thinks this is not a bad thing. He said today:

That’s a lie. He probably knows it though what he knows these days cannot be actually measured. But even CNN know this is really bad news.

It’s Coming Faster Than We Thought

CNN pretty much summed it up in a story today or yesterday. I was shocked:

The job numbers mean inflation is coming. Here’s the problem:

  • People have a lot of money right now. That’s because they have been given money for the last year.
  • Because people are making more money by staying home than working, they are not going to work.
  • Because there are less workers, supply lines and supply chains do not have enough people for products and services.
  • As demand goes up and supply goes down, prices for goods and services go up.
  • Walla! Inflation!
  • Who is this going to affect most? The poor and lower middle class. Their limited income is now going to buy less.

I thought this wouldn’t happen for a couple of years and this inflation is not what we are going to see because of the trillions of dollars of spending. This is the inflation from low supply and high demand.

Prices from March 2020 to March 2021:

  • Lumber is up 65%. Great for the housing market.
  • Gas and crude oil is up 40%. Prepare for the cost of driving and flying to go way up.
  • Iron and steel up 38%. Don’t need to worry about gas if you can’t afford a car.
  • Copper is up 75%.
  • Cotton is up 35%.
  • Fertilizer is up 26%.

These are actual increases from last year to this year. The projections are far worse. They are projecting lumber to increase between 200-400%. Gas could be up 50-70% because crude oil could get to over $100 a barrel again since we stopped being energy independent with Biden’s garbage policies.

In 2008, Obama said that we should be prepared to skip things like travel because of the environment. He was with a Congress that told him to buzz off. Now, the insane crap that Obama wanted is now being realized and we are going to suffer.

God, She’s Dumb

Did you know that Planned Parenthood actually saves lives? Yeah, I didn’t either. But here is the logic of the insane and stupid justifying the killing of babies by Planned Parenthood:

What she doesn’t get: Abortion is a policy that kills people. OK, there’s a lot to unpack here.

  • First off, AOC was born into an upper middle class family. I doubt her very well off family had anything to do with Planned Parenthood.
  • I love when people compare abortion to the death penalty. They really have nothing to do with each other.
  • I also trip out about the reverence people like AOC hold for Planned Parenthood
    • It was founded by Mary Sanger, a rabid racist and eugenicist.
    • She opened her clinics in black neighborhoods because she saw blacks and the disabled as inferior to whites.
    • Her clinics were for providing birth control, sterilization and abortion targeting the “inferior” people of color and the disabled.
    • The science community, including eugenicists, saw her as so radical, they rejected her, her research and her writings.
    • Planned Parenthood, this year, rejected Mary Sanger because people are beginning to learn a little bit about her and they do not want to be associated with her. It only took about a 100 years.
  • Now, on a more important note, Planned Parenthood kills 300,000 babies a year. With some adjustments, and don’t quote me on this because I have heard it is way higher, 10 million babies have been killed by Planned Parenthood.
  • Of that, less than 2%, and I’m being liberal here, are aborted due to rape, incest or danger to the mother. That means 98% of murdered babies are killed for convenience.

AOC is either really dumb or lying to you. I think it’s both. How she can up hold a clinic whose main purpose was to eradicate the United States of black people and the disabled.

Why Bother?

Yesterday was the National Day of Prayer. Joe Biden had something to say about it:

“Throughout our history, Americans of many religions and belief systems have turned to prayer for strength, hope, and guidance. Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements — including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans. Prayer is also a daily practice for many, whether it is to ask for help or strength, or to give thanks over blessings bestowed.

“The First Amendment to our Constitution protects the rights of free speech and religious liberty, including the right of all Americans to pray. These freedoms have helped us to create and sustain a Nation of remarkable religious vitality and diversity across the generations.

“Today, we remember and celebrate the role that the healing balm of prayer can play in our lives and in the life of our Nation. As we continue to confront the crises and challenges of our time — from a deadly pandemic, to the loss of lives and livelihoods in its wake, to a reckoning on racial justice, to the existential threat of climate change — Americans of faith can call upon the power of prayer to provide hope and uplift us for the work ahead. As the late Congressman John Lewis once said, ‘Nothing can stop the power of a committed and determined people to make a difference in our society. Why? Because human beings are the most dynamic link to the divine on this planet.’”

He’s not much of a Catholic but he’s a true Leftist. He does want you to pray every day. But he wants you to pray to the government, to the climate and to race. He doesn’t care about God or religion because, as Marx said, “Religion is the opiate of the people” and government will find it impossible to control a population that knows there’s a higher power.

Just sad.
