An MSNBC guest reverend vocal about her disagreement with the recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade said Friday on "Morning Joe" that abortion is not a "biblical topic."
During a conversation with faith leaders supportive of abortion rights, co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Reverend Dr. Selene Jones about the SCOTUS decision and whether the Bible is being used "incorrectly" to curb abortion access.
Jones, who also serves as the president of the Union Theological Seminary, told Brzezinski that abortion is "not a biblical topic" and claimed there are only "one or two" biblical references to abortion that undoubtedly prioritize the "life and agency" of the mother over a fetus.

The National Education Association recently proposed a resolution that would strip the word "mother" from contracts and replace it with the term "birthing parent" instead. (snip) Is it merely a matter of time before "mothers," "moms" and "mamas" are stripped from popular music titles, book titles, poems, expressions and more in favor of today's more "acceptable" and woke-approved terms "birthing persons" and "birthing parent"? (snip) Instead of the beloved Mama Cass — the cherished and long-lamented member of the popular 1960s folk rock group The Mamas & the Papas — would people be saying they still miss "Birthing Parent Cass" and "The Menstruating Persons & the Papas"?

They’re gonna throw the book at them.
Police advocates in New York City are planning a “law enforcement story hour,” with the goal of sending NYPD officers into schools to read to young kids. “They can be from all over the nation and stop into schools with the permission of principals all over the city. They are going to be there to show kids that police officers are not bad people and hopefully influence kids to become a police officer one day,” said NYPD Sgt. Joseph Imperatrice, founder of the nonprofit Blue Lives Matter NYC, which is heading the initiative.

The Army suspended a three-star general after he appeared to make fun of First Lady Jill Biden.
Retired lieutenant general Gary Volesky, a former spokesman for the Army, responded to a tweet from Biden about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, in which the First Lady remarked that women’s rights had been “stolen.” Biden tweeted that “for nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.”
Volesky responded, “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”

I wrote here about the sensational story of a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who had to travel to Indiana for an abortion. The story, phoned into an Indiana newspaper by an abortionist who seems to spend most of her time promulgating pro-abortion propaganda in the press, spread around the world almost instantaneously. But there is little reason to believe it is true. (snip) In an apparent Freudian slip, he (Biden) referred to terminating a presidency rather than a pregnancy:

Some like to argue that marriage, family, and professional success don’t mix. The opposite has been proven this week at Wimbledon, tennis’ most prestigious Grand Slam, by the performance of a German wife and mother of two. Thirty-four years of age and ranked outside the top 100, Tatjana Maria had never advanced beyond the third round in 34 previous Grand Slam attempts. 34! But this year, she made it all the way to the semifinals.
Maria’s game is a family affair. Her entourage on tour includes coach and husband Charles-Edouard Maria (a former player himself), and her daughters, eight-year-old Charlotte, and 15-month-old Cecilia.

Let’s get one thing straight: The Left doesn’t care about women with unplanned pregnancies. They only care about murdering babies and keeping Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer-funded grift going. You know how we know? Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Eichmann) is trying to shut down crisis pregnancy centers that have helped untold millions of women — and saved the lives of more than 800,000 babies, just since 2016 — by providing prenatal care and ultrasounds, parenting classes, counseling, diapers, other baby supplies including formula and furniture, and access to social services. But that’s not good enough for Liz Warren because those centers refuse to shed innocent blood.

The state of Florida saw a surplus of $21.8 billion for the 2022 fiscal year, the highest in state history and more than 21% higher than the state's spending plan, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday.
Tax collections in May were $742 million above estimates; preliminary data for June is approximately $950 million above estimates.
“Despite the headwinds created by the Biden administration’s policies, Florida is in a strong fiscal position because we preserved freedom and kept our economy open,” DeSantis said.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state's widespread use of ballot drop boxes is illegal, delivering a huge victory to election integrity activists and a stinging rebuke to state officials who had deployed the boxes to major success in the 2020 election.
In the court's 4-3 ruling, the justices rebuked the Wisconsin Elections Commission for distributing the boxes across the state, arguing that only the Wisconsin legislature had the authority to employ their use.
"Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes. WEC cannot,” the court said in the ruling.

Rolling Stone alleged the Supreme Court could have been unduly influenced by praying with religious groups in a lengthy piece published Wednesday.
Politics reporter Kara Voght wrote that Peggy Nienaber, vice president at Faith & Liberty, admitted that she has prayed with Supreme Court justices in a secretly recorded video after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"This disclosure was a serious matter on its own terms, but it also suggested a major conflict of interest. Nienaber’s ministry’s umbrella organization, Liberty Counsel, frequently brings lawsuits before the Supreme Court," Voght wrote.

Beloved actor Paul Rudd sent a middle schooler a heartwarming letter of encouragement, promising the 12-year-old boy that “things get better” after his classmates refused to sign his yearbook at the end of the school year.
Brody Ridder, who just finished his sixth grade year at The Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, Colorado, was devastated in May when his yearbook was left nearly blank of signatures and well-wishes for the upcoming summer.

The House of Mouse almost became the House of Chronic.
Disney was reportedly interested in signing gangsta rap artist Dr. Dre to its label after seeing the success of his 1992 debut studio album, “The Chronic,” which boasts hits like “Nuthin’ but a G Thang,” “F-k wit Dre Day,” and “Let Me Ride.” (snip) Disney was preparing to offer Dr. Dre a $4 million deal, but had second thoughts when it realized that the artist’s expletive-filled music didn’t jibe with its squeaky-clean, family-friendly image. (snip)
“He (CEO Michael Eisner) said, ‘How come we don’t have this record?’ I go, ‘Well, Michael, let me just read you some of the lyrics…"
