The suicide bomber in the Supreme Court

"Whoever heard of a leak from the Supreme Court?" American Thinker   . . ."The end of Roe was never meant to come easy. It won't be easy but we're finally headed in the right direction. Yes, the Democrats are a dead donkey trotting but at least a few more baby girls will get to choose in their lives!"

“ 'Protect” abortion? How about we protect babies? Should we protect the “right” to kill-- or protect the right to life? How that question is answered will go a long way towards determining how long our society can last."

Senator Joe Biden Voted to Allow States to Overturn Roe v. Wade (townhall.com)

Yet, it was a vote he cast — one that directly contrasts his position and rhetoric in 2022. As Biden and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki have repeatedly stated over the last 16 months, Biden's position now is that an unborn child's future is dependent on "a woman's right to choose" whether it lives or dies. But that's another statement that contradicts Biden's past comments.

 And Now the Left Is Going to Stomp All Over Ruth Bader Ginsburg (townhall.com)

Yes, the justice that the feminist left worships like a saint will be dragged through the mud because she didn't know when to quit. A co-founder of The Lincoln Project made that point clear—she didn't know when to hang the cleats up. 

FNC's Ingraham: As Clerks, We Were Warned Leaking Would End our Careers, SCOTUS Leaker 'Should Be Immediately' Disbarred (breitbart.com)

 . ."Ingraham concluded, “And through the entirety of the court’s history, no matter how controversial or disruptive the court’s decisions have been, and I’m talking decades, decades of decisions on the freedom of religion, rights of criminals, same-sex marriage, none of those draft opinions ever leaked. You know why? Because everyone in that building understood that was a line that could never be crossed. And it is a sad commentary that someone in that building took it upon himself or herself to totally usurp the role of the justices and hijack the court’s deliberative process. … But once again, it looks like the left will just smash an established government process to get their way, do anything in their power to stop a principled, conservative majority from issuing a ruling on a pending case. This leaker is going to be sorely disappointed and should be immediately discovered and disbarred.” 

Top three stupidest reactions from Democrats after the leak about Roe - American Thinker   . . ."To reiterate the backstory: Some ass with no loyalty to the Court as an institution took it upon himself to leak a draft of internal Supreme Court proceedings which indicate that the Court, on a 5-4 vote, is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, a 1973 decision so poorly laid out that even the late liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had reservations about its legal grounding.  This shouldn't be a problem for leftists, because abortion remains legal.  The only thing it does is throw the matter back to states.  The latter can now legislate the matter according to whether their citizens want it or don't want it.  We can just guess what the blue states will decide.

"That didn't stop the left from howling that the sky was falling.  Here are my top three nominations for the "most embarrassing" leftist responses:

"Let's start with Chesa Boudin, the embattled leftist district attorney of San Francisco who's up for a voter recall this summer.  Here's his tweeted response:". . .

. . ."Now let's move on to another California denizen from the East Coast: the one and only Maria Shriver, "devout" Catholic, scion of the Kennedy clan, and former first lady of California, at least until Arnold started sleeping around with the Guatemalan maid."

. . ."Meanwhile, we also have Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who didn't bring up abortion as a form of motherhood; she just had a hot-pink tantrum.  Get a load:". . .

Tucker Carlson Needs Only a Single Picture to Respond to New York Times 'Bombshell' Hit Piece on Him

 Tucker Carlson Needs Only a Single Picture to Respond to New York Times 'Bombshell' Hit Piece on Him (thefederalistpapers.org)

Like other corporate media outlets, the Times has destroyed its credibility in recent years with nonstop spouting of left-wing propaganda masquerading as objective journalism.

  "Tucker Carlson is getting the last laugh after The New York Times published a 20,000-word hit piece on the ratings kingpin, slamming him as a “racist nationalist.”

"On Sunday, Carlson tweeted a viral photo of himself gleefully snickering while flaunting the Times’ “bombshell” front-page story on the Fox News sensation.

"The article was part of a disdainful, four-part series on Carlson titled “American Nationalist” (as if that’s a bad thing).

"If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the cable news juggernaut’s photo spoke volumes. You can almost hear him chuckling aloud.

"It’s the same hearty laugh heard most evenings on Carlson’s top-rated cable show when he mocks absurd, race-baiting, virtue-signaling leftist policies.". . . 

. . ."Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek’s deputy opinion editor, blasted the Times’ hypocrisy in attacking Carlson for championing the working class and espousing views that “any Democrat would have proudly endorsed 15 years ago.”. . .

. . ."Ungar-Sargon added: “Legacy media used to use its massive resources to expose government corruption; now they use them to protect the administration from embarrassment and criticism, to expose anonymous Twitter accounts, to smear the competition as racists if they dare expose the class divide.”. . .

 Portland schools offer free feminine-hygiene products in boys' bathrooms for 'menstruating students' - Washington Times   Portland Public Schools plans to provide free menstrual products in both the boys’ and girls’ bathrooms as districts move to comply with an Oregon state law for “menstruating students.”

“Starting next year (2022-23), products will be available in all restrooms (male, female, and all-gender) in every PPS building where education occurs,” said the April 19 memo titled “Update on PPS Implementation of Menstrual Dignity Act.”

"Last year, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed HR 3294, which requires K-12 public schools and universities to stock bathrooms with tampons and sanitary pads at no cost to students to give them the “opportunity for safe, dignified self-care.'. . .”

New York Times attacks Tucker Carlson as racist in hit pieces - TheBlaze

"Tucker Carlson laughs off New York Times hit pieces that smeared him as the host of possibly 'the most racist show in the history of cable news'"

. . ."Four additional reporters contributed to the hit piece, including investigative reporter Nicholas Confessore.  Confessore – who is also a commentator for MSNBC – claims that Carlson is so powerful inside Fox News that he "answers solely to the Murdochs themselves," and regularly talks and texts Rupert Murdoch.". . .

. . ."The New York Times is preparing yet another story about how this show is racist because we support national borders," Carlson said. "This has gotta be the 10th or 27th or 217th story just like this the New York Times has run, and all of them are pretty much identical – racist, racist, racist!"

Carlson defended his position on race:

And the funny thing is, the one thing we do not have exotic opinions on is race. Our view of race is really simple. We believe Martin Luther King. We don’t think your skin color is the most important thing about you. We think all people were created by God and should therefore be judged by what they do, not by how they look. We say that a lot and we mean it. Most Americans strongly agree with that. We, in fact, would assume that most reporters at The New York Times, agree with that. Only Nazis think your race defines you. And we just don’t believe there are a ton of people in this country, even on the left, who actually believe something that evil.

 Pelosi commits the United States to Ukraine's victory - American Thinker

Instead of trying to play Churchill in the lead-up to a wider European war, our "statesmen" should emulate Count Witte and counsel prudence, caution, and forbearance.  Witte understood that Russia had no vital interest in the Balkans, just as we have no vital interest in Ukraine.  A wider European war with nuclear powers on both sides would truly be "madness."

" Nancy Pelosi traveled to Kyiv for a photo-op with the world's new "freedom fighter," Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

 "She announced to the world that "America stands firmly with Ukraine" and "our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done," and later tweeted to the Ukrainian people that "we are with you until victory is won."  So now it's the speaker of the House's turn to get her "Churchill" moment.  This would be laughable if the consequences were not so serious.  It is another step on the road to a wider war.". . .

Megan Rapinoe Hardest Hit as Finger-Pointing Begins After 'Subway' Releases Dismal 2021 Numbers

Get woke, go broke ain't no business strategy.

. . ."Secondly, this isn’t like the NFL or the NBA where teams that protest the anthem play for a different city. Rapinoe plays for a national team – the American team – and her kneeling when this country’s national anthem is played is just disgraceful, pure and simple. A person doesn’t have to be happy with everything that goes on here to show pride in the country that gave you the opportunity to do what you do.". . .

. . ."Thirdly, she’s a damned lousy spokesperson for women’s equality when you consider the fact that she’s also an advocate for men who identify as women to be allowed to play on women’s teams, a position which completely undermines women’s sports. Here’s what Rapinoe wrote about this debate back in March:

Proponents of these bills argue that they are protecting women. As a woman who has played sports my whole life, I know that the threats to women’s and girls’ sports are lack of funding, resources and media coverage; sexual harassment; and unequal pay.

“If our soccer team, headed by a group of Leftist Maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze,” Trump said in a statement. “The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics instead of doing her job!”. . .

A leaked opinion from the Supreme Court ends Roe v. Wade

 Andrea Widburg

It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin. SCOTUS Blog

"There are two levels to this story. The first is the absolutely unheard-of fact that a Supreme Court opinion was leaked before the Court officially issued it, something that's incredibly damaging to the institution.  The second is that, if this really is the decision that the Court will issue, Justice Alito is 100% correct that Roe v. Wade has no constitutional basis and that, under the Constitution as written, the question of abortion belongs to the individual states.

"The news was shocking: Politico reported that it had received a draft of the final opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization:

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

"Nor did Politico stop at reporting what the draft purportedly said.  Had that happened, I might have been skeptical, saying that this was just a rumor as the Court sought to run a potential decision up the flagpole to see the response.  Instead, Politico uploaded the draft, which is already formatted in the normal fashion for Supreme Court opinions.  This is the real deal.  (Since the cat's out of the bag, I'll include the Scribd transcript at the end of this article.)" . . .

Biden Gives the Game Away in His Statement About SCOTUS Leak – RedState

. . ."This leak from the SCOTUS that indicates they might overturn Roe v. Wade isn’t an accident. It likely was about trying to gin up the anger from liberals to be able to have a focal point for November. They were going into November with a very unpopular person in the White House, failed policies, record-high inflation, and Democrats who had no interest in voting or who might even be flipping to Republican. And naturally, they’re not even being honest about what this decision may mean — that even if it turns out to be the final decision, the “choice” is given back to the states. If they believe they have the majority, then they can pass laws based on that — that’s the way the system is supposed to work, without legislating from the bench.". . .

What’s ironic about all this is that once upon a time — before Biden had gone completely over to the left, when he was more in line with the majority and maybe closer to his Catholic origins — he pushed for a constitutional amendment that would overturn Roe v. Wade and allow states to choose their policies on abortion back in 1982. He also voted against abortion funding — a lot.

Democrats place American democracy in grave peril

 Democrats place American democracy in grave peril - American Thinker     "The past few weeks have been extremely troubling for those who value democracy, freedom, human rights, and civil liberties within the United States of America.

"Democrats have made unprecedented power-grabs.  If left unchecked, democracy will wither away in favor of a sinister police state.

"Recently, Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified that a Disinformation Governance Board has been set up to counter disinformation coming from Russia, China, Iran, the cartels, and other hostile actors, rebutting their misleading information.  Critics have rightly slammed this as Biden's Ministry of Truth.

"In recent days, Mayorkas didn't state the specific powers the board may have; he only said the board would "tackle the threat, not only to election security, but to our homeland security" and would work with platforms to stop it.

"Will they be able to prosecute people for spreading "disinformation"?  Will this board be restricted to focus on social media only as its tool, or will the powers also apply to "right-wing media" directly?  We do not know.". . .

Elon Musk Fires Back at NBC on Twitter; Musk Fires Back at Mehdi Hasan, NBC: Organization ‘Killed’ Harvey Weinstein Story

 

“Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people,” added Musk. 

National Review  "Elon Musk mocked NBC’s coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop and allegations against Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer, after MSNBC host and political commentator Mehdi Hasan accused Musk of handing Twitter “to the far-right” and labeling him a “not-so-bright billionaire.”

“If that happens, we may look back on this past week as a pivotal moment, when a petulant and not-so-bright billionaire casually bought one of the world’s most influential messaging machines and just handed it to the far-right,” said Hasan. Hasan warned on Sunday’s episode of The Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC* that the American far-right wants “white supremacy and no democracy,” and that the U.S. could be two years away from former President Trump “possibly re-seizing executive power.”. . .

. . ."Twitter initially blocked the New York Post from posting its October 2020 story on Hunter Biden’s emails, allegedly retrieved from his laptop. An NBC article from that time noted that the organization was denied access to the email trove.

"[The “not-so-bright billionaire.”] Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, bought Twitter last week in a deal valued at roughly $44 billion. He’s pledged to make the platform more conducive to freedom of expression.". . .

Don Surber: Joy Reid loses half her audience

 MSNBC will never fire her, but she may rejoin Al Sharpton on the weekend.

Don Surber: Joy Reid loses half her audience  "Amid BLM-staged riots in 2020, MSNBC gave their weekend black racist anchor Joy Reid a prime time show on weekdays. Her blame-whitey rants were an instant hit. She drew 2.6 million viewers her first night out, which was a half-million more than the Fox show at 7 PM and double the CNN show.

It has been downhill ever since.

TV News reported a month later, "The ReidOut scored the highest-rated month ever in total viewers for the 7 p.m. hour in MSNBC history, and averaged more total viewers than Erin Burnett Outfront. That said, it finished No. 3 in its hour behind The Story with Martha MacCallum and Outfront in the key A25-54 demo, despite averaging the network’s largest 7 PM. demo delivery since April 2018 (317,000)."

And this month, her ratings are less than half her debut audience.

Joe Biden sure looks like he’s lying about Hunter’s biz

 Joe Biden sure looks like he's lying about Hunter's biz (nypost.com)

"You can now officially file President Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken” to his son Hunter about his business activities with his claims that inflation is “transitory” and the border is “under control.”

The Post reported that Joe allegedly agreed to pay more than $800,000 in legal bills Hunter racked up, including bills related to his overseas businesses. This comes on the heels of revelations that Hunter alleged his father was taking half his salary.

"It would be literally impossible to set up these arrangements without talking business. So the prez has been outright lying. Just as Hunter’s business partner Tony Bobulinski said months ago.

"Want more evidence? Consider The Post’s revelation of the direct sit-down Joe had as veep with another Hunter partner, Eric Schwerin, then serving as president of investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners.

"We still don’t know what they discussed. Or what was said on the (at least) 19 occasions Schwerin visited the White House and other official locations from 2009 to 2015.  Asked about these shady details, chief Biden flack Jen Psaki responded: “I don’t have any information on that.” The future MSNBC star doesn’t want to know.

"Even the Secret Service is playing dumb. It recently and unbelievably told The Post it has no relevant records on who’s visited the prez at his Delaware homes, as if knowing weren’t central to its job". . .

Greta Thunberg doesn’t want you to talk about her anymore –

  POLITICO

. . ."The seeds for Thunberg’s conversion to social justice advocacy arguably go back to the very beginning of her activism, which was sparked, famously, by a feeling that she and the rest of her generation were being betrayed: Given the cause and consequences of climate change, why weren’t responsible adults — parents, teachers, politicians — doing more? Why was no one panicking?

"In her early teens, Thunberg became sick. She ceased eating and talking. Activism, both Thunberg and her parents have said, was her salvation. It was also a process of finding and banding together people who shared her anxiety and her view that, ultimately, climate change is a moral question: right and wrong — or as she has said, black and white. 

"And so it was only natural that she was open to the idea that others were being betrayed as well.

"One early turning point in her thinking seems to have taken place during a highly publicized trip to the United States in 2019. Thunberg had been invited by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres to speak at a summit in New York, and rather than take a plane, she and her father had crossed the Atlantic in a borrowed racing yacht.

"Jamie Henn — a self-described “aging youth activist” who helped organize her schedule — remembers being struck by how much Thunberg’s approach contrasted with the hyper racially aware politics of the U.S. youth environmental movement.". . .
