I'll Save You Even If It Kills You
Democrat Joe Manchin refused to go along with the "climate tax" demanded by Biden, so Biden plans to ignore the prescribed legislative process and simply use executive action to further increase our cost of living, especially in the area of gas prices, in order to ensure that we can save the planet. He promised to eliminate fossil fuels when he was elected. He's doing his best to carry out that promise no matter what it costs ... us.

When Science Disagrees with Culture
An incarcerated transgender prisoner in New Jersey is being transferred from the women's prison after impregnating two fellow inmates. Need we say more?

Stinkin' Thinkin'
The University of Pennsylvania has nominated swimmer Lia Thomas for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year award. Lia has competed on the college women's swim team and won a national championship. Lia has not ever had a period, never had to be careful of becoming pregnant, has not ever dealt with any of the stuff that teenage girls in particular have to endure because Lia is a transgender. Tell me again how there is no accepted standard definition of "woman," but equal rights and equal opportunity for "women" is important and is not jeopardized by biological males who think they're females.

Slavery on Steroids
Vice President Harris slammed Republicans at the 113th NAACP national convention, comparing abortion restrictions to slavery. "Claiming ownership over human bodies." You know, like the women who claim ownership over the human bodies inside and their ultimate right to terminate their existence at will. Before Emancipation, it was illegal in the South to murder slaves. It is still legal in some places in America to own and to kill innocent human beings. I think it's worse than Harris thinks. And I'm talking about pro-abortion.

Is Anyone Taking Notice?
According to CNBC, Biden's approval rating is lower than ever ... lower even than Trump at his lowest. Is anyone taking notice?

Mirage Equality
The House has approved legislation protecting "marriage equality" after Clarence Thomas had suggested that SCOTUS should "reconsider" gay marriage. Here's the thing. There are two ways to achieve "marriage equality." One is to make it available to anyone who wants it which will necessarily exclude those who want something different but want to call that "marriage." The other is to redefine "marriage" to include what that other group wants and offer this other thing to all. The former was what we had. The latter is what we did. The loser is marriage which is now a new beast without clear definition. Ironically, it was called "the Respect for Marriage Act" ... you know ... without any respect.

Just Curious
The news item was that some 17 House Democrats were arrested for participating in an illegal demonstration. They marched on the Supreme Court protesting the June 24th ruling. "We won't go back!" they chanted. Ok. Amusing. But I'm curious. Based on the constitutional structure of the government and current laws, why was the Trumpian protests over the election "anti-democracy" but protest over the already done legal ruling of the Supreme Court is not? How is the former dangerous to our way of government but the latter is not?

Justice vs Justice
Last month the Supreme Court vacated the Roe v Wade ruling that had given women the false impression that killing babies was their constitutional right. They turned the question over to the states. That, as it turns out, is not accurate. So far, 5 states have attempted to block abortions and the court has denied the 10th Amendment in the face of SCOTUS. Now West Virginia has become the 6th. Because if there is going to be justice in this world, our justice system will continue to protect the wanton slaughter of the most vulnerable humans.

Nice ... Not
It's done. The court has ruled. Go home. Fight another day. At least, that's what you'd think. Instead, pro-aborts including members of Congress continue to protest the Court and its Justices, bringing fear and verbal abuse to neighborhoods. If you live in the vicinity of a judge who ruled against their position, you are a "Karen" and a "facist." Winning friends and influencing people.

Some Are More Equal Than Others
Prince Harry spoke at the UN against America's "rolling back of constitutional rights" (which didn't happen). Ironically, he envisioned a "better future for children." Apparently just not all of them. Some, apparently, need killing.

The Cost of Electric Cars
According to USA Today, Ford is planning to slash 8,000 jobs to help fund electric vehicles. So while the likes of Pete Buttigieg assures us that we can all afford electric cars (while citing cars that are either not yet available or no longer made), I'd guess that at least 8,000 Americans will disagree.

We Don't Care
Bloomberg offered a keen insight. If you want to save the planet, you have to stop fossil fuels. One of the best ways to do that is to "Stop the fall in gasoline prices." If you want to make people switch from fossil fuels to your choice of "better," make it too expensive to use. Mind you, the alternatives are less efficient and too expensive to use. Mind you, the biggest impact of such a plan will be on the lower income brackets. As Pete Buttigieg reminded us. "The more pain that we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles." The rest of us don't matter compared to saving the planet, right?

Now That is Ironic
According to CNN the federal investigation of Hunter Biden is reaching a "critical juncture." Prosecutors have been looking into possible tax violations and "making a false statement in connection with Biden's purchase of a firearm at a time he would have been prohibited from doing so because of his acknowledged struggles with drug addiction." You know, the son of our current "Gun-Control-in-Chief."

Unclear on the Concept
Someone is unclear on the concept. At a judicial conference in Montana Justice Elena Kagan said that the Supreme Court needs to keep the confidence of the American public. "If over time the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that's a dangerous thing for a democracy," she said. Now, someone is confused. The primary role of the Supreme Court is to compare questions before the court with the Constitution to determine if it is legal. It is designed to be a check and balance with the Executive and Judicial branches, limiting government. I was not aware that it was supposed to make its decisions based on popularity, majority, or sentiment. I thought it was about the law. Did I miss a change in the Constitution somewhere?

Batting the Biden Ball
Bad week for the president. First, he appeared to claim he had cancer. So the White House assured us that he only claimed that because of his dementia. A day after his miraculous recovery from cancer, he was diagnosed with COVID. But it's all good. The White House has reassured the nation that the person who is actually running the country is healthy ... whoever that might be. (Hmmm ... Biden with COVID ... how will that affect his ability to sniff hair?)

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
