  • Millions of US women now live 200+ miles from nearest abortion center due to pro-life laws

  • Whoopi Goldberg claims aborting babies is ‘not mentioned’ in Ten Commandments

    "Goldberg dismissed on the grounds that “‘thou shall not kill’ cannot be used as the block because we allow wars all the time"

    By a 220-210 margin, the House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with only one Democrat voting in favor. So, with only one exception these Democrat legislators established a line for defense of abortion within their party that includes those born alive despite attempted abortion.

    Now the commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” uses the word meaning not to commit first degree murder. It looks to me that Democrats are in favor of first degree murder.

    I enjoy this statement by C.S. Lewis about killing.

    "Does loving your enemy mean not punishing him? No, for loving myself does not mean that I ought not to subject myself to punishment - even to death. If one has committed a murder, the right Christian thing to do would be to give yourself up to the police and be hanged. It is therefore in my opinion, perfectly right for a Christian judge to sentence a man to death or a Christian soldier to kill an enemy, I always thought so, ever since I became a Christian, and long before the war, and still think so now that we are a peace. It is no good quoting, "Thou shalt not kill." There are two Greek words: the ordinary word to kill and the word to murder. And when Christ quotes that commandment He uses the murder one in all three accounts, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. And I am told there is the same distinction in Hebrew. All killing is not murder any more that all sexual intercourse is adultery. When soldiers came to St. John the Baptist asking what to do, he never remotely suggested that they ought to leave the army: nor did Christ when he met a Roman sergeant-major - what they called a centurion. The idea of the knight - the Christian in arms for defense of a good cause - is one of the great Christian ideas."

  • Biden’s Title IX Rules Force Schools to Use Transgender Pronouns

    These regulations do relate to our Constitution and there is a huge back story here, but let’s begin with FDR. Franklin Roosevelt established a myriad of agencies staffed by unelected, unconfirmed experts who ruled and did not serve citizens.

    Instead of legislating, a compliant Congress created legislators residing within impenetrable agencies. Instead of inherent individual liberties constraining government, a host of bureaucrats conferred rights upon and applied constraints to those who were citizens. Later Congresses followed the same path.

    The best article I have found so far on the subject is called The History and Danger of Administrative Law by Philip Hamburger. I linked to it below. Such power harks back to discretions of English kings unrestrained by Parliament found in such places as King’s Council and the Star Chamber. Hamburger reminds us the Constitution says, “’All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States”. He then says, “The word ‘all’ was not placed there by accident. The Framers understood that delegation had been a problem in English history, and the word ‘all’ was placed there precisely to bar it”.

    Little remains of our Republic, but all may not yet be lost. On April 14, 2023, the Supreme Court in a 9 to 0 ruling struck a blow supporting our Constitution and individual liberties. The Court acted to reassert the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts and the legislative branch. Justice Elana Kagan delivered the unanimous opinion of the court saying, “One respondent attacks as well the combination of prosecutorial and adjudicatory functions in a single agency….They maintain in essence that the agencies as currently structured, are unconstitutional in much of their work”. Until that ruling permeates the Administrative State it looks like daughters and granddaughters are in for some unpleasant experiences.

    The regulations don’t just cover pronouns and sports, but everything that happens in any school. In reading the regulations you will discover sexual stereotypes are male and female.

    “These amendments clarify the scope and application of Title IX and the obligations of recipients of Federal financial assistance from the Department, including elementary schools, secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, and other recipients”

    It looks like daughters and granddaughters are in for some unpleasant experiences.

    In terms of COVID-19 side effects, responsible doctors treated Covid-19 with regimens using Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine at a fraction of the cost of shots. My wife also got a steroid shot. I got Covid-19 after getting two shots from the VA. Turns out that shots were one good way to guarantee you got it. I broke the disease symptoms by overdosing with pseudoephedrine.

    I visited websites listing the adverse effects of pneumonia, flu, and shingles vaccines as injection site soreness, fever and chills, fatigue, muscle aches, severe allergic reaction, decreased appetite, nasal congestion, chest pain, fast/irregular heartbeat, seizures, headache, stomach pain, and nausea. Looks to me that you could go to work the next day.

    However, those for COVID 19 vaccines were numerous and disturbing, but did you ever hear a warning like you hear on television whenever a drug company touts a new drug? No, of course not. The vaccines were a fraud from day one and the three letter agencies participated in it. Here are three more indications the government ignored the available information.

    I had been tracking this virus using the John Hopkins site for about two years using an Excel spreadsheet. The Scandinavian countries, and particularly Sweden, did not disturb their population to near the extend the US did. As of February 22, 2023, virus deaths per million for the megalopolis found in the combined states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Connecticut was twice that of Sweden, which has a similar disproportion in population makeup between urban and rural. For all of the US it is 41% less. You can verify this information by using the John Hopkin’s site and latest population figures.

    A federal judge ordered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request to disclose Pfizer data that factored into FDA’s recent decision granting the experimental mRNA vaccine an Emergency Use Authorization. The first released data recorded over 800 adverse side effects. Most alarming were acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, cardiac failure, cardiogenic shock, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, stress cardiomyopathy, tachycardia, liver injury, facial paralysis, immune mediated/autoimmune disorders, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, polyarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, fibromyalgia/trigeminal neuralgia, amniotic cavity infection, congenital anomaly, death neonatal, eclampsia, and fetal distress syndrome.

    Pfizer’s general overview of 42,086 cases of adverse effects in ninety days found 20,112 persons recovered, 1,233 died, and the balance pended resolution.

    Interesting that the FDA had no problem with those numbers.

    She probably saved the lives of over 100.

    The VA center in White City Oregon gave me a fact sheet describing exactly what was shot into my arm.

    Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), lipids (SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG} 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG], cholesterol, and 1,2-disteaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC], tromethamine, tromethamine hydrochloride, acetic acid, sodium acetate, and sucrose.

    When the first real information came out about the vaccine, I never cwent back again.

    I will send these two stories to people on my email list just in case some are still using the major networks to find their news. As Mark Twain said, “If you don’t read the papers you are uninformed. If you read the papers you are misinformed”.

    NBC news reports: Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven primarily by human-caused climate change — has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it would otherwise.

    CBS news reports: Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up. Earth's changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second. For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to.

    From a recent post I read:

    “They wouldn’t be attacking Israel if I were president, that I can tell you,” Trump continued, adding “And they never did.”

    “Iran was in no position to attack. They had no money. They were broke,” Trump added.

    So, how many billions did Biden give them?
