Biden's vision for America

Do you like to go on vacation towing your trailer? Then you’re really going to love being forced to drive an electric car. Getting there will be half the ordeal as you see America close up, stopping every 100 miles to recharge your battery or waiting alongside some of the nation’s most scenic roadsides for the (gas-powered) tow truck to show up.

Or maybe you could buy a big, powerful electric pickup truck to tow your trailer. Chances are, though, your truck will be what ends up getting towed.

Biden issues Executive Order

As expected on Friday, President Biden issued his executive order to try to make it easier for women – sorry, “birthing people” – to get abortions. Here’s an explanation of what’s in it:

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3550216-biden-unveils-executive-order-to-protect-abortion-access/

It appears that Democrats’ greatest fear is that the people of the individual states will actually have some say over abortion laws and not have it dictated to them by Washington. Biden’s statement included what we’ve come to expect from him, such as claims that Republicans have an “extreme agenda” on abortion. Or so says a man who claims to be a Catholic and who once opposed abortion himself, but who now thinks his party’s agenda is not extreme, even though 49 out of 50 of its Senators voted to allow the killing of babies in the womb right up to the moment of birth, a practice so barbaric, it’s mostly allowed only in nations such as North Korea.

The statement also included the expected fuzzy euphemisms for abortion, some blatant politicizing of the issue (elect more Democrats so they can ignore the Constitution and impose abortion by federal law), some likely fake news when Biden repeated a viral claim about a 10-year-old rape victim being denied an abortion that is looking more and more like propaganda from a pro-abortion activist…

And of course, numerous gaffes, including a moment when Biden read his stage directions off the Teleprompter out loud…

…followed by the White House and its sycophants insisting that we didn’t actually see and hear what we just saw and heard.

Musk withdraws offer to buy Twitter

Elon Musk has withdrawn his $44 billion offer to buy Twitter, claiming the social media site violated the agreement by making false and misleading representations and refusing to provide information on how many fake or spam accounts are included in its total users. The Twitter board is threatening to sue to force Musk to close the deal. Some analysts predict it will go through eventually, only Musk might pay less than he initially offered.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/elon-musk-tells-twitter-hes-terminating-deal-buy-social-media-giant

If Musk walks away from Twitter, the big losers would be anyone who thinks that social media should be politically impartial and protect freedom of speech, since Twitter without Musk would likely continue under the supervision of the same Silicon Valley censors and socialists that Musk would have rightly fired. It would be a shame if that doesn’t happen, but on the other hand, who can blame him for not wanting to have to deal with that pack of whining, entitled snowflakes?


Teen Vogue

I’ve been warning parents for years about the far-left indoctrination rag-disguised-as teen lifestyle magazine known as Teen Vogue. But if you haven’t yet gotten the message to keep this propaganda far, far away from your kids, here’s yet another reason why it should only be used as a fireplace starter.

This deserves mockery

I apologize in advance for making you read this Spanish Inquisition-level torturing of the English language in the name of “inclusivity.” I fear it will birth quite a headache for you.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/birthing-parent-or-mother-moms-teachers-union-proposal

Here’s some funny and well-deserved mockery of it to help wash this convoluted wokeness out of your head.

"Explaining"

Speaking of word salad, here’s a veritable Whole Foods salad bar full of it, courtesy of Vice President Kamala Harris, “explaining” why Democrats didn’t codify abortion rights when they had the power to do so.

 Latest example from the Unhinged Left

Latest example of the violent unhinged left proving they are too mentally immature and emotionally unstable to be trusted with any power: the harassment of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh as he was trying to eat dinner at a DC restaurant.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/07/leftists-still-targeting-justice-kavanaugh-even-after-assassination-attempt-protesters-force-him-to-exit-out-back-door-of-dc-restaurant/

This is something I can relate to, since something similar happened to my own daughter and her family. From the article, you can see that this wasn’t just a handful of unhinged protesters on the scene. There are organizers and sympathizers making it clear that they think this is a perfectly legitimate reaction to them not getting their way in a court ruling. And it’s easy to say, “Well, it’s just a small radical fringe group.” But President Biden, the head of the entire Democratic Party, has refused to condemn these illegal stalking tactics, defending them as long as it’s a “peaceful protest.”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-grilled-protesters-targeting-justice-kavanaugh-dc-restaurant

I’m curious: does that mean peaceful protest where they just peacefully harass a Supreme Court Justice and an entire restaurant full of diners, or a CNN-style “mostly peaceful protest,” where they’re only burning down a few select buildings?  


Another Reason to vote Republican in New York

If you haven’t yet heard the infuriating story of New York City bodega clerk Jose Alba, who killed a violent attacker in self-defense and (unlike the dangerous criminal who attacked him) is being treated like a dangerous criminal by NYC DA Alvin Bragg, this is a good recap of the twists and turns so far.

https://www.thenewneo.com/2022/07/08/the-charging-of-jose-alba-and-the-war-on-self-defense/

Bipartisan public outrage got Alba’s sky-high bail reduced so he’s out of jail, but still wearing an ankle monitor and possibly facing charges. And here’s a new political twist: New York won’t let voters recall criminal-coddling woke prosecutors, but they can be fired by the Governor. Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul won’t do it, but her Republican challenger Lee Zeldin says that firing Bragg will be on his Day 1 To-Do list. So, reason #10,903 for New Yorkers to go back to voting Republican.

    Bringing charges against Alba (a white man) for defending himself from a violent person (a black man) smells like a Hate Crime to me. Looks like the DA hates this white person. The DA should be so charge with a hate crime.

    Thank you! Yes! New York has a chance to elect good Republicans.

    Looking forward to follow-up information on oil from America's strategic petroleum reserve, to the tune of 950,000 barrels, being siphoned off to China via Hunter Biden connection. Please pursue this treasonous action.

    1. I believe all those that think protesting someone who is eating dinner should have their own dinner interrupted by protests. Even one person yelling at them as they eat works for me.
    2. NY DA - You've got to be kidding! These people are crazy!

    Seems to me, Biden's executive order or codifying abortion into federal law is still unconstitutional per the decision as it was not a expressed federal power therefore for the states.

    When Roe first made it through the Supreme .court, most states limited abortion to the first trimester or at most 20 weeks. Then it expanded to full term and beyond. I think people don’t realize that in the old days doctors would not try to revive infants born not breathing who were obviously seriously deformed, like no brain, or things that would make their life miserable and painful, dying with weeks. It’s the same with doctors who give a bit more morphine to dying cancer patients so that they will not have Pain even though it might shorten their lives by a. Few days or hours. This is the art part of medicine. First do no harm. We trusted doctors in the old days. No one wants to go back to knitting needle abortions. We need to build in safeguards and realize that’s a barely pubescent girl is not medically fit too have a baby. Also, in incest should be considered. Babies born of a close really close familial relationship risk all kinds of disabilities. No one should be forced to have a baby by from rape or incest. However, if reported immediately medication can be given to prevent implantation. This should not be outlawed. I hope legislatures can get over the emotional agendas a pass common sense laws.. There are some cases where very early abortion may be the more moral choice of two bad options. Is there no common sense any more?

    I remember a time when a line was drawn between protest and harassment. Has anyone stopped to think that perhaps others beLiefs are just as profound as theirs? We rail against stereotyping minorities , women, gays, etc. but it’s okay to do this to anyone who doesn’t agree with the leftist agenda. I see it every day even in my neighborhood. There is always an elephant in the room during social occasions. I know that certain people, knowing that I have conservative leanings, assume they know everything I think. Do they not realize how uncharitable that is. They think they are so kind but in fact they are mean and vindictive.

    I read your newsletters and watch your show because you cover the news so I don't have to!!! Thanks for your good coverage of all that is happening in our country. I also watch Fox News because they cover all the stories and make sure they are reporting the truth. I live in Texas and I am proud our Governor is trying every way possible to shut down our southern border. I live in the Panhandle of Texas and we are seeing migrants here who don't have any idea what the "card" they were given is for. These people don't know English nor do they understand how to take care of themselves. I guess President Biden thinks that is our duty! I hope the Republicans take over the Senate and the House and put a stop to some of Biden's crazy antics. I worked in the oil and gas industry and my husband worked for the electric company. We know that what Biden is doing is wrong. We are lightyears away from "going green" but he is trying to make people think it is an emergency to our planet now.

    I've noticed in the past week in particular that the urls to articles included in the text of the email are defective, not working at all. I noticed spaces with underlines beneath them. The functional URLs in the online version accessable through a browser do Not have those underlined spaces and work just fine. Something odd going on there perhaps in the set up software for the emails.

    I really appreciate your blogs! When teaching biology a number of years ago, my lesson always included the word ‘theory’ when discussing the Big Bang theory and evolution. When asked by my teenagers why I included the creation ‘theory’ as a possibility, I told each one they must decide for themselves whether they came from primates, or whether GOD designed them specifically in His image. Their decision would govern their behavior and choices for their future. So many expressed gratitude that they had a choice to believe.
