Abort the Mission! Abort!

This is the terrifying future that led thousands of abortion hobbyists to rush into the streets last week and scream at us about their uteruses. All because up to 100,000 ladies won't be able to get drive-thru abortions if they have unprotected sex with men they don't want to have children with, and they didn't notice that they live in Louisiana.

Ann Coulter  "I gather from the recent hysteria that the Supreme Court has just ordered all 72 million American women of childbearing age to get pregnant and carry the baby to term.
This is big news, if true. I'm not at all surprised that every female journalist, activist and politician is threatening to burn down the Supreme Court over its decision last Friday in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
"On the other hand, even accepting the abortion cult's belief that members of the weaker sex are incapable of either keeping their knees together or mastering birth control, I still only count about 100,000 women who won't have easy access to abortions without Roe v. Wade.
. . ."In one breath, abortion enthusiasts tell us women of color will be hit hardest by the court ruling allowing states to ban abortion. That's true in a sense: According to the latest figures from the CDC, in 2019, 33% percent of women seeking abortions were white, 38% black and 21% Hispanic. Per capita, that's more black and Latino babies being aborted than white babies.
"But then in the next breath, they say opposition to abortion is rooted in white supremacy! Yes, that's a big rallying cry at the white supremacist rallies: DON'T KILL BLACK BABIES!". . .

Daddy, what's a harridan? 

"Flash to thousands of screeching harridans, whose only risk of pregnancy would be if a zoologist inseminated them in a lab, holding signs that say, "GET OUT OF MY UTERUS!" '


A New Generation Discovers Thomas Sowell

 

Because he is both black and conservative and has spent a career testing and disproving the axiomatic claims made by welfare-state advocates and the conjectural arguments of so-called leaders of racial minorities, Thomas Sowell is, to borrow a phrase from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, "He Who Must Not Be Named."  His work is dangerous enough to the Marxian march through U.S. institutions that it is better not to expose students to that work.

 A New Generation Discovers Thomas Sowell


. . ."Foremost among the lessons the new students of Sowell will learn is the thesis Sowell lays out in his book A Conflict of Visions — that, broadly speaking, modern Westerners tend to argue past one another on our views about the perfectibility of man.  Sowell distinguishes between what he calls the constrained and unconstrained vision, or the tragic view of man and the utopian view of man.

"The constrained vision, he will learn, is rooted in the Judeo-Christian belief in the inherent fallibility of man.  That is, despite all his best efforts to attain the true, the good, and the beautiful, either individually or collectively, man is often his own foil.  In this view, history and tradition serve to make men and women suspicious of the motives and schemes of their fellows.  Knowing that others can be knaves as well as knights, sinners as well as saints, each of us looks to his own self-interest over the interests of others.  There being no solution to this standoff, we are all necessarily forced to make compromises to ensure that the greater self-interest of each is preserved in some sort of civil society.

"Of the unconstrained vision, the new students of Sowell will learn that it is not man who is inherently fallible, but rather society itself, and it is an abstraction called society that corrupts.  As Jean-Jacques Rousseau argues in his famous dictum, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains."  Stated differently, man is good, and he is made not good, or merely mediocre, only by the limitations placed on him by large, impersonal institutions or the forces of history and tradition.  Remove these stultifying constraints, and anything is possible for man to achieve; he is better still.  Social problems no longer constitute challenges to be adjudicated in a system of law and order, of checks and balances.". . .

‘Collateral Damage’ In Dems’ Insane War On Energy

 Things have reached a fever pitch of late, with Democrats’ extremist anti-free-market green wing suggesting, as gasoline prices roar past $5 a gallon and cities across the nation face blackouts, we would all be better off if we just nationalized our oil and gas industryFor the record, no we wouldn’t.

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Americans Are ‘Collateral Damage’ In Dems’ Insane War On Energy  "Maybe the Jan. 6 hearings are, as some assert, really about distracting Americans from the Democrats’ shocking policy failures. How else can one explain the refusal of President Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress to address our ongoing energy crisis?

"And, no, it’s no exaggeration to call this a crisis. With consumer prices rising at a four-decade-high of 8.6% in the most recent year-over-year comparison, Americans are watching their standard of living fall fast.

"A just-released national survey has found that 83% of U.S. households are cutting their personal spending and travel due to soaring inflation. These cutbacks are being driven almost entirely by energy costs, which have spiked nearly 35% in the past year.". . .

Biden Won’t Be Bragging About This Year’s July Fourth Cookout Prices Which Rose 17 Percent  

Now Americans are largely free from the pandemic regime’s clutches but don’t necessarily have the financial freedom to host an expensive cookout. After all, how can a family that is already living paycheck to paycheck keep up with the $4.87 per gallon national gas price average and inflation that is rising at its fastest pace in the last four decades? In just one run to the grocery store for essential items, Americans are paying 11.9 percent more than they did in May of last year.

Biden’s History of Getting Away With Racist Remarks

 Heritage


"Joe Biden has a decades-long habit of making overtly racist remarks, taking discriminatory positions and cavorting with known racists—things that would get anyone to his political right tossed out of polite society. But being on the left must make it okay.

"Just a few days ago, while lamenting the difficulty in convincing many Latinos and blacks to take the COVID vaccine, he committed a series of racially charged blunders that barely registered in the corporate media’s consciousness.

"Biden white-splained that Latinos in America resist vaccinations because “they’re worried that they’ll be vaccinated and deported.”

This statement makes the insane assumption that all Latinos present in this country are illegal aliens subject to expulsion. It never occurred to Biden that more than 60 million Latinos are actually American citizens, according to recent census figures.

"While insulting such a sizable segment of our population, Biden actually went further. He referred to this group of people as “Latinx,” which is a term invented by woke academics who objected to gender-specific words in the Spanish language.". . .

Justice Breyer Retiring Thursday And it’s official

Kemberlee Kaye

"Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has announced that he will step down from the high court effective Thursday at noon.

"Breyer, who notified President Biden in January of his intent to retire at the end of the current term, updated the president in a letter Wednesday, after the Supreme Court made it known that it will issue its final opinions of the term Thursday morning.". . .

. . ."Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will replace Breyer on the bench. Lord help us."

Justice Clarence Thomas singled out for racist slurs after Roe v. Wade overturned

 Patabook News  "The social taboo against using racial slurs has once again flown out the window when it comes to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Best and brightest Wants Justice Thomas gone

"The Black conservative jurist was excoriated by pro-choice advocates over his concurring opinion last week in Dobbs v. Jackson with a wave of vitriol that included death threats and repugnant racist epithets on social media.

"The slurs included the n-word, “house n——r,” “coon,” “slave,” and “Uncle Tom.” Over the weekend “Uncle Clarence,” a spin on the derogatory term “Uncle Tom,” trended on Twitter after it was used by actor Samuel L. Jackson.

"Other accounts threatened to “kill” or “assassinate” Justice Thomas, one of six justices who made up the majority in Friday’s decision striking down the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

"Critics on the right accused the left of hypocrisy on race.

“ 'Six Justices decided to overturn Roe v. Wade, but you’d swear that Clarence Thomas did it single-handedly as countless racists hurl slur after slur at him,” tweeted Dumisani Washington, founder and CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel. “We see you. We’ve always seen you.”

"Wilfred Reilly, author and associate professor at Kentucky State University, a historically Black college, said the backlash on the left against Justice Thomas has been “amazingly intense,” given that he didn’t even write the majority opinion.

“ 'I certainly think some of the reaction here ties into Thomas’ politics. We mostly hold our own well, but Black conservatives take a remarkable amount of abuse online,” Mr. Reilly said. “Logically, some of this is certainly a result of the ‘heretic effect’: Black people are ‘supposed’ to be liberal Democrats.”

"As the conservative publication RedState put it, “Racist White Progressives Love the N-Word When It’s Being Used Against Clarence Thomas.”. . .

Hillary Clinton joins the pile-on against Clarence Thomas, getting her 'congenital liar' on    "Six Supreme Court justices voted to overturn Roe v. Wade as a faulty legal ruling. But the left being the left, they are going after the black guy.

"Which explains the near insanity of the left's reaction against distinguished Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is black and ruled with the majority. That's an unforgiveable thing to leftists who continue to view black people as their "property."

"There's been some grotesque stuff going on, leftists zeroing in on Thomas with a special rage in a special pile-on unseen anywhere else. That's led to strange specters such as white Karen-types openly employing the use of the "n word" against him, and other barbarians openly calling for the assassination of the justice, with no sanctions whatsoever while "Uncle Clarence" trended on the Twitter platform.

"It's a leftist thing. So in comes Hillary Clinton, to add to the pile-on:

Secret Service Is Reportedly Prepared to Testify Trump Didn’t Try to Commandeer Limo on Jan. 6, Despite Hutchinson Account

 Mediaite  "Secret Service agents are reportedly prepared to testify that then-President Donald Trump didn’t reach for the steering wheel in his limousine following his rally on Jan. 6 that preceded the attack at the U.S. Capitol.

“ 'A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel,” tweeted NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander on Tuesday.

Cassidy Hutchinson, former senior adviser to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, testified on Tuesday in front of the Jan 6. House select committee she’d been told Trump tried to take the wheel as his motorcade drove to the White House. Trump had just informed rally attendees he would be joining them at the Capitol, where Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden’s electoral victory as president.

"Hutchinson testified,. . ."

Hearing on Jan. 6 a circus

 


"The House hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is another divisive, partisan, Democrat-led action. Like the two Democratic impeachment efforts to remove President Donald Trump, where the president himself and Republican defense were denied documents and witnesses and Democrats had secret sessions, the  Republicans were not allowed to choose their representatives for the hearings.

"Speaker Pelosi has exceeded her authority by rejecting the selected representatives, and did so before in an unprecedented way with the process used for the  impeachment hearings and in removing a Republican from all of her committees.

"The early hearings with police and security officers stressed the problems with the rioters and surely drew sympathy from most people. Forgotten, however, was the total disregard for the officers who were injured and all the people killed during the countrywide Black Lives Matter protests. These protests saw a police station and numerous businesses get destroyed, as well as many people fear for their lives.

"This is still the United States of America, and congressional hearings should be nonpartisan, with both Democrats and Republicans allowed their witnesses and treated fairly.". . .

Colbert Breaks Silence on Staffers’ Arrests at Capitol Building

David Rufful


. . ."Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that “producers from Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS committed insurrection at the United States Capitol.”

"Colbert attempted to downplay the arrests. He claimed the illegal act was “very professional.”

"He even argued that they did not commit an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol because “an insurrection involves disrupting the lawful actions of Congress and howling for the blood of elected leaders – all to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.”

"The left-wing CBS host proceeded to blame President Donald Trump for the events of January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.

"Colbert even whined that his staff was not in the main Capitol building.

“ 'After they’d finished their interviews, [my staffers] were doing some last-minute puppetry and jokey make-em-ups in a hallway, when Triumph and my folks were approached and detained by Capitol Police,” Colbert said.

"He continued, “A lot of paperwork for the Capitol police but a fairly simple story… until the next night when a couple of the TV people started claiming that my puppet squad had quote, ‘committed insurrection’ at the U.S. Capitol building.' ”. . .

The Left Aborts Its Right To Be Called Tolerant … Or Intelligent

The disconnect between the Supreme Court’s decision and the reaction from the left is even more startling when you read Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion, in which he argues clearly, forcefully, compellingly, and without apology that the Court made a grievous mistake in 1973 when it invented a constitutional right to abortion out of whole cloth, and then compounded that mistake with 1992’s Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Alito destroys the dissenting opinion and is brutal in his takedown of Chief Justice John Roberts’ hair-brained attempt to split the difference.

 I & I Editorial Board

"Let’s review the news since Friday’s Supreme Court decision – a decision that gave power back to the people to decide what laws should apply when it comes to abortion. Riots. Arson. Calls to assassinate a sitting justice. Threats of violence against anyone who is pro-life.

"Here’s a small sampling of headlines.

"Notice that several instances of violence are in states that will almost certainly retain liberal access to abortion. Rationality isn’t a strong suit for those on the left. Temper tantrums, yes.". . .

Gavin Newsom Buys Ad Space in Florida to Challenge Ron DeSantis in 2024

RedState

"California Governor Gavin Newsom is running for president. If you had any doubt about that, consider which state he focuses on the most, while ignoring his own. Yeah, you guessed it: Florida, along with Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis. Newsom assumes that DeSantis is who he will be opposing for President in 2024 and thinks his record of governance can best Gov. DeSantis’ work in his state.

"Deluded is, as deluded does.

"If you need any more proof that Newsom is deadly serious, look no further than a statewide cable ad buy Newsom just made— in Florida. Newsom is so overly confident that he doesn’t have to campaign for re-election in California that he is looking ahead and pouring his resources into his 2024 campaign.". . .


Calling Justice Thomas ‘Uncle Clarence’ exposes the rotten sham that is the progressive movement

NY Post


"A festering rot of racial animosity exists in our society that we willfully ignore socially and politically. It is a rot that eats away at the flesh of our civil society and spoils the greatness of our multicultural nation.

"Progressives continually tell us we have blinders on when it comes to racism in American society. They’ve shoved their ideological solution of anti-racism to force us to “deconstruct” what they believe is an inherently deep-seated racist nation. I, as a black American, am supposed to rejoice in the presence of our self-appointed saviors, but I peeked behind the veil and saw who they really are.

"Understandably, detractors of the decision have found themselves angry and anguished at last week’s Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade. Six judges found it necessary to overturn, but just one has been elected the face of all political animus: Clarence Thomas, who didn’t even write the court’s opinion.". . .

"With overwhelming anger seeping through their pores, Democrats saw only one viable target who would satisfy their rage. There was only one person for whom they felt comfortable exposing themselves by lifting the veil of their true hatred and indifference for black people.

"In a matter of hours, “Uncle Clarence” was trending on Twitter, a reference to the racist pejorative “Uncle Tom.” I witnessed multiple conversations between white progressives questioning if Clarence knows he’s black, chastising him for being married to a white woman and even going so far as to feel completely comfortable calling him a n—er.

"Don’t believe me? Do a Twitter search yourself.

"Just one example: Left-wing Canadian pollster John Corbett tweeted, “Clarence Thomas: Just another dumb field n—er." ”
