There has been much perfervid shouting and rending of garments (or these days, parading about with red splotches on the crotches of their clothing or performative displays in Handmaid's Tale costumes -- red hooded capes) to protest the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. On the other hand, those opposed to abortion hail this decision, claiming abortions will end or be much reduced

Comments:

Sadly, Clarice may be correct here. Will abortions actually drop or just show up in those new abortions "tourist destinations?"

SCOTUS did its job - they sent it back to the states. Now it's up to each state to decide how to deal with abortion.

Regarding abortion tourism that Clarise Feldman mentions, that should be a a legal offense where the encouragement of or participation in crossing state lines is for the purpose of avoiding state law. Wait for litigation on this point. Federalism will be tested, particularly where the US Government is involved in aiding and abetting violation of state law.

Even proponents of baby killing should be able to admit that it was a violation of the 10th amendment as written.

States will need laws that make it illegal for non-parents to take minor children across state lines for purpose of abortion. Otherwise abortion coyotes will become an industry, just like coyotes traffic women and children across international borders. States should yank teaching certificates, tenure, and professional licenses from teachers who act as abortion coyotes. Most parents are unaware of what threats teachers are to the health of their children, especially their daughters.

Clarice did a stellar job with this overview. It's notably alarming to see a Department of Justice making a excoriating statement against the Third Branch of Federal power. Likewise, I do not recall ever seeing anything like this before. Demonrats are screaming to the tops of their lungs at these two momentous decisions that didn't "go their way." I can remember since the 70's how conservatives were told to "suck it up" because the Supreme Court has spoken. That was when the leftist Supreme Courts "found" rights not enumerated in the Constitution. Fast forward to now, and thanks to President Trump, we have the (should be) Court of Chief Justice Clarence Thomas. He and his like-minded "originalist" colleagues are attempting to put the choo-choo train back on its sacred tracks while undoing decades of bad law. I look forward to the end of homo "marriage" and other disgusting travesties imposed upon a moral society.

I think the “convenience factor” will be the most telling in the long run. Behaviors aren’t going to change overnight but maybe the sheer economics will make some of those totally thoughtless people finally start thinking. I can hope can’t I.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is leaving meetings to receive medical treatments amid ongoing speculation that he is ill, Christopher Steele, a former intelligence official in the U.K., recently said. "Meetings of the security council that are shown to supposedly last for a whole hour are actually broken up into several sections," Steele, who served in the MI6 intelligence office, said during an interview with LBC Radio. "[Putin] goes out and receives some kind of medical treatment between those sections." Steele also said that Putin is "constantly accompanied around the place by a team of doctors."

U.S. healthcare is now a solid week into the CT contrast shortage of ’22, and common themes are emerging in adaptations at local hospitals and imaging centers. One is the wisdom of making up-or-down contrast and scanning decisions one patient at a time rather than as a blanket short-term policy. Another is the commonsense call to reserve inventory for patients most in need while avoiding use of the term rationing. A third might be the fingers-crossed expectation that the shortage will not drag on to where it becomes a crisis.

McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas could become Harry Reid International as soon as September, a Clark County official said today. The county could conduct a ceremony and put up a new sign this fall to mark the renaming of the airport for the former longtime U.S. senator from Nevada, said Commissioner Tick Segerblom, a leading advocate for the renaming. The County Commission unanimously voted in February to rename the county-owned and operated airport for Democrat Reid, a Searchlight native who spent more than 30 years in Washington, mostly as a senator but also as a U.S. representative. He was Senate majority leader from 2007 to 2015.

Famed Borscht Belt comedian Jackie Mason, who rose from a modest childhood on the Lower East Side to become one of the most famous funnymen of all time, has died. He was 93. Mason died at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan Saturday, with his wife Jyll and a few friends by his side, longtime pal and lawyer Raoul Felder told The Post. There will be a small, private funeral service Sunday in New York, said Felder, who declined to name the location. A larger, public memorial service is expected at a later date, the lawyer noted.

There is a great deal of manipulation and falsehood in media presentation of the 2020 election. These lies and false constructs generate a great deal of anxiety. That said, there are two specific approaches by the narrative engineers that deserve a strong reminder. The first purposeful approach media use to create and embed their false assumptions is a slight of hand that few notice, and it can create anxiety. In normal term-two election cycles the baseline for media analysis should be the incumbent electoral win in term one. T

KENOSHA, Wis. — Police in Wisconsin have issued a “warning” about a “highly addictive substance” that has recently resurfaced. The Kenosha Police Department says the substance is commonly known as “Thin Mints,” “Peanut Butter Patties,” “Thanks-A-Lot,” “Peanut Butter Sandwich,” “Shortbread” and “S’mores.” They say that young girls run the operation and get customers with a “good cause story.” Police say if you come in contact with any of these addictive cookies, you can drop them off at the department. Officers are “happy to assist with proper disposal.”

Sen. Cory Booker announced Monday that he will end his campaign after failing to qualify for the Democratic debate planned for Tuesday in Iowa. "It was a difficult decision to make, but I got in this race to win, and I've always said I wouldn't continue if there was no longer a path to victory," Booker said in an email to supporters Monday. The New Jersey Democrat's announcement came a day before six presidential candidates will participate in the CNN/Des Moines Register's debate in Des Moines, Iowa. He did not qualify for the event. It also came as the Senate gears up for the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Lizzie Fletcher’s first bill — a measure meant to cut away federal red tape and speed up disaster recovery funding — passed the House nearly unanimously, with just seven votes against it and some of the chamber’s most conservative members joining the freshman Democrat in pushing the legislation forward. The next day, Fletcher voted to impeach President Donald Trump — a move Republicans are dead-set on making sure overshadows all else Fletcher has done in her rather effective first year in Congress.

When a big event happens anywhere in the country, sometimes anywhere in the world, a San Antonio connection somehow emerges. Sometimes it’s found deep in the details. Sometimes it has been there all along, hiding in plain sight. All too often, it comes with bad news. So it was with the death this week of Congressman Elijah Cummings, whose storied political career began when he fought to desegregate a Baltimore swimming pool. He was 11. In his last hours, as the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, one of three panels leading impeachment investigations of President Donald Trump, Cummings signed two subpoenas.

The Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee has released the whistleblower complaint that triggered President Trump's impeachment inquiry. The complaint cites “multiple White House officials with direct knowledge of the call" between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and accuses Trump of attempting “to pressure the Ukranian leader to take actions to help the President’s 2020 reelection bid.” It also presents allegations that the White House tried to "restrict access" to records of the call. "In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S. officials that senior White House officials had intervened to 'lock down' all records of the phone call, .

The Navy is threatening to penalize sailors who purposely misuse pronouns to describe transgender service members, viewing it as a violation of the service's harassment policy. Sailors who run afoul of the policy could face administrative or judicial action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Navy Capt. Dave Hecht, a public affairs officer, told American Military News. "Intentional misuse of transgender service member pronouns is inappropriate and inconsistent with the Navy zero tolerance policy on harassment," Hecht told the news site.

No sooner had the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs opinion then West Virginia’s sometimes-rational-Democrat senator Joe Manchin and senior Maine-Squish-Republican, senator Susan Collins, came out expressing their combined horror and indignation over the decision. They both went to say they were aghast that both Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch had apparently misrepresented to them, both in private meetings and during their hearings, that they would respect established precedent. The senators felt “betrayed” by the pair. Manchin was quoted as saying, “I trusted Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh

The left escalated their vicious attacks against Clarence Thomas after he joined other conservative Supreme Court justices and overturned Roe v Wade. Abortion laws will now be decided by the states. Justice Thomas said the court should reconsider gay marriage and birth control after Roe v Wade was overturned.

Last week, we learned that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was sending out campaign mailers to Democrats in her district in the hopes of saving her reelection. Clearly, she assumed that her lack of viability as a Republican because she assisted in the Democrats’ witchhunt would translate into genuine support from Democrats. She certainly had reason to believe it was possible. Think about it: how many on the left pretended to “respect” Liz Cheney for her “bravery” for standing up to Trump, and yada, yada, yada? Well, Liz Cheney is learning the hard way that she was just a useful idiot for the Democrat Party

Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot (D-IL), incensed by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in the case which overturned Roe v. Wade, screamed to a crowd over the weekend, “F*** Clarence Thomas!” In his concurrence, Thomas went farther than the other conservative justices, calling for the concept of substantive due process to be thrown out and reconsidering “all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.” Griswold v. Connecticut enshrined the “right to privacy,” Lawrence v. Texas ruled that people had the right to “seek autonomy” in their private relationships, and Obergefell v. Hodges enshrined the right to same-sex marriage.

Democrats are foaming at the mouth after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade last week in a stinging rebuke to the progressive agenda and now look to wage total war against yet another of the nation’s institutions with some guidance from The New York Times which lays out the playbook for brutal revenge. In a weekend op-ed penned by columnist Jamelle Bouie entitled “How to Discipline a Rogue Supreme Court,” he urges Democrats to strike back hard against what he describes as “a reckless, reactionary and power-hungry court,” meaning the conservative justices who refused to be intimidated by the mob.

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is ridiculously claiming that Hillary Clinton can save the Democrats from a bloodbath in the 2022 midterms by carping about women’s rights after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. In a fevered, hallucinatory political wet dream, Williams evidently believes that Clinton is still the savior of the Democratic Party. In May, before the leak of the ruling by the Supreme Court surfaced, Clinton warned CBS News that rescinding the constitutional right to abortion “is incredibly dangerous and it is not just about a woman’s right to choose. It is about much more than that.” “Any American who says, ‘Look, I’m not a woman, this doesn’t affect me.

If you’re keeping an eye on what Sen. John Cornyn has in store for your Second Amendment rights, you might want to watch his other hand. He has just recently reintroduced the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which would enable the federal government to impose critical race theory (CRT) — that is, state-sanctioned racism and anti-Americanism — on public school civics courses via federal grants. Of course, the drafters of the bill are too politically savvy to explicitly endorse critical race theory.

Ironically broadcasting from the Bahamas (to celebrate 25 years of The View), Goldberg proclaimed she’s “very pro-life,” has “never been anti-life,”
