Yaaaaaahoooooooooo! The Democrats just found an abortion issue gold mine, the perfect solution (maybe) to diverting public attention away from the annual thousands of dollars their policies have cost each American family in just a few months. At least, a short run solve.
My body, my choice? Roe vs. Wade? Really? What should anybody have expected, once primarily leftist government at critical levels insisted that people be "immunized" with the creeping unknown of vaccinations a couple of years ago? Your body, your job, no choice.
Some readers believe I am wildly conservative, but that isn't true. I have always believed the reproduction issue should be left up to the people and doctors involved, and leave any level of government the hell out of it. The preferable "choice" to me would be no need for human abortions due to the introduction of and easy access to a wealth of inexpensive, effective and readily available birth control methods for both women and men. A cornucopia of over-the-counter options would go a long way, as long as those of sexually active ages are well-informed regarding what's out there.
Actually, we might have been better off had Roe vs. Wade never existed, IF government stayed out of personal decisions from the beginning.
But here we are, recipients of a leaked Supreme Court draft decision re Roe vs. Wade. Will it be the final document? Who knows? In the meantime, whomever leaked the particulars (court clerk, affiliated attorney, or even a Justice) needs to be located, perhaps arrested and tried -- yet, if nothing else, surely banned from practicing law ever again. The person(s) responsible just opened the door to leftist lunatics and their renewed cry for a packed Supreme Court, among other nationally destructive options.
By the way: If, by some estimates, Roe vs. Wade resulted in a billion abortions since the original Roe vs. Wade decision, may I innocently ask -- aside from the invasion of illegal aliens, wouldn't the U.S. currently be drowning in multi-millions of children, grand-children and the like who survived to reproduce like mice? I'm aware of warnings about human population decline in the world, but there are times when more isn't better.
Birds aren't real: We enjoyed Sunday evening's 60 Minutes report about a group of satirists pushing the opinion that the government replaced real birds with robot birds years ago (one assertion: these high-tech drones recharge their batteries by sitting on power lines). Even better, we've no doubt that a wealth of brainless tweets -- oops, we mean twits -- holding a conspiratorial bent will take this seriously.
Actually, this satirical presentation echoes a future which has yet to exist, but could. When the green cult finishes covering formerly beautiful landscapes with wind turbines and solar panels, each immensely fatal to birds and other wildlife, we may conceivably need robotic birds simply to -- to have birds. Maybe the techies and paid-off government folk embracing these weapons of mass species destruction in their own communities wouldn't be adverse to broiling or chopping up family members just to demonstrate safety and green contentment?
The White House Correspondents Dinner: Once again, the consummate display of elitists (they) and their invisible relationship with the common and irrelevant man and woman (you). The old televised Dean Martin roasts were fun, but these Washington affairs are just disturbingly elegant reminders of a too-close relationship between "journalists" and big government. The optics of this annual "dinner" remain under suspicion.
Which brings us to ABC-TV's Jonathan Karl. Having written a book taking Trump to task for numerous reasons, Karl is also called upon to do nearly all reporting when the subject is Trump, and we may be assured that kind words will never surface. Karl's repetitive TV stories about Donald Trump begin to look like a Vaudeville act involving a one-trick pony taking center stage. I wonder which ABC reporter will soon write a book about the real, devastating policies of Joe Biden and his friends? We're waiting.
Breathe your mask: Micro-plastic particles are found in the lungs of people who began wearing face masks during the Covid outbreak. Will we eventually see a dramatic rise in lung disease, or even cancer cases? Heck, why don't they just sell face masks in powdered form so they can be inhaled from the start and be done with it?
Return of the unions: Heavy-handed attempts to unionize Amazon, Starbucks and others are the sort of thing that puts a glow in the hearts of Biden, and in all the huge unions previously in fear for their continued existence as an immense power figure over corrupt politicians. Major unions had a good chance of going away before the Biden bunch signed on, but under this administration corruption and prices will continue to rise as clueless union members who may have done just fine without union influence around their necks and in the shop believe they now truly "belong."
Biden strives to pay off college loans: With your money. First of all, most of these loans were taken out by people already adorned with high degrees. Some 56 percent of those loans went to people with graduate degrees. BETTER IDEA: As we have noted in the past, college and university endowment funds transcend billions of dollars, and if anybody should bail out student debt (as these institutions continue to raise tuition, quite possibly because they KNOW Uncle Sam will come to the rescue of something that does not require a rescue) it is these centers of leftist, oops, I mean Marxist, oops, I mean higher learning.
Lake Mead: The count begins as water levels decrease. So far, one body in a corroded barrel from the 1980s. The question is, if you ever drank water from Lake Mead and then found something stuck between your teeth -- who or what exactly was that? Be sure to floss after drinking, Nevada.
The new Disinformation Governance Board: Wow, sure glad to have that dumped in our laps. I suppose this spells doom for my latest invention, a robotic podiatrist and toenail clipper on wheels for use in any spa. True, the thing has missed a few nails and gone right for the toes and a fair spurt of blood now and then, but one cannot expect perfection the first few times. I suppose the Governance Board would dis-inform on me before mass production can begin. Bastards.
