It comes as no surprise that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has issued a statement all but condemning Friday’s overturn of Roe — by pledging that the United States military “be all that it can be” [sarcasm] and will do all it can in support of “seamless access to reproductive health care [on-demand abortion].”
What is a bit of a surprise — Austin’s apparent ignorance of federal law — is laughable.(snip) There is no “federal law,” Mr. Secretary. The Roe overturn correctly returned abortion decisions to the states. Besides, the Hyde Amendment already begs to differ:

A cheat sheet giving U.S. President Joe Biden specific instructions on how to behave was captured on camera during a June 23 conference.
The 79-year-old president unintentionally held up the pre-written staff notes, titled “Offshore Wind Drop-By Sequence of Events” at a White House meeting with wind-industry executives. The snapped sheet contains a list of bullet points, which begin by telling Biden to “enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.”
Next, the instruction reads “YOU take YOUR seat.”
The president should also give two-minute comments after reporters arrive, as the paper instructs, (snip) ignoring the guidance, Biden spoke for over seven minutes at the event.
Following the Supreme Court ruling, President Donald Trump released the following statement.
“Today’s decision, which is the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation, along with other decisions that have been announced recently, were only made possible because I delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected and strong Constitutionalists confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.

Justice Thomas: Supreme Court Should Reconsider

Rulings on Same-Sex Marriage, Contraception 14 replies
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote Friday that the high court should reconsider rulings on contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage in a solo concurring opinion released Friday that struck down Roe v. Wade.
The Republican-appointed justice argued that the Supreme Court should reconsider other cases that fall under prior due process precedents.
“I write separately to emphasize a second, more fundamental reason why there is no abortion guarantee lurking in the Due Process Clause,” Thomas wrote. “Considerable historical evidence indicates that ‘due process of law’ merely required executive and judicial actors to comply with legislative enactments and the common law when depriving a person of life, liberty, or property.”
Roe v. Wade is dead.

In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion under the auspices of the “right of privacy,” which it held to “encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” While we do have rights that are guaranteed to us despite not being in the Constitution (those natural rights), abortion was never one of them. Not until Roe, at least.
It is estimated that more than 63 million babies have been aborted since Roe. That’s more than the combined population of Florida and California. Most recently CDC numbers show nearly 630,000 abortions in 2019 – meaning 195 abortions per 1,000 live births.
Abortion has never been a rare procedure since legalization,
Doctors and scientists are seeing an increase in the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), following the COVID-19 injections.
The chickenpox virus is one of the eight herpes viruses known to infect humans. After a person contracts and recovers from chickenpox, the virus never leaves the body but lies dormant in the nervous system for life.
The chickenpox virus will show up as shingles, or herpes zoster (HZ) when it gets reactivated.
Federal health authorities claim that there’s no correlation between COVID-19 injections and shingles, but studies show that there is a higher incidence of shingles in people who’ve received the vaccine.Israel was one of the earlier countries

Joe Biden’s New Best Friends

It’s hard to say there is anything really new about Joe Biden’s friendship with a growing list of despots such as Iran’s Khamenei, Venezuela’s Maduro, Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman, China’s Xi, and Russia’s Putin.
All those oil potentates must have celebrated their good luck on day one of his administration when Biden signaled his obeisance to the reactionary (yes, that’s what they are in real-world terms) green crowd by putting the kibosh on the Keystone XL pipeline. (Oil importer Xi had his own reasons to celebrate.)
It’s been all downhill for homegrown U.S. energy from there.

The black vehicle drove through the group of activists in Cedar Rapids despite them screaming at it to stop and hammering the hood and window.

Speier stated, “I went over to the Supreme Court early, and the only people that were there were the protestors who were pro-birth, not pro-life, and I thought they had been tipped off.”
Host Stephanie Ruhle then followed up on Speier’s claim that pro-life protestors were
Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings.
