Clarence Thomas Rips SCOTUS Double Standard On Teen Maturity: ‘Child’ For Murderer vs. ‘Young Woman’ For Abortion-Seeker

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ripped the highest court in the land over its double standard on language surrounding abortions.

In his concurring opinion issued in Jones v. Mississippi decision on Thursday, Thomas tucked in a criticism of the court’s hypocrisy in considering juvenile criminals as “children” while pretending that young girls who want to have abortions are responsible enough to choose.

“When addressing juvenile murderers, this Court has stated that ‘children are different’ and that courts must consider ‘a child’s lesser culpability,’” Thomas wrote. “And yet, when assessing the Court-created right of an individual of the same age to seek an abortion, Members of this Court take pains to emphasize a ‘young woman’s’ right to choose.”

While the Supreme Court ruled that judges may give juvenile murderers life sentences, Thomas cited multiple abortion cases decided by the high court containing commentary from justices who were quick to note a teen’s ability to choose, such as in Lambert v. Wicklund, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, and Ohio v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health.

Every Senate Democrat Voted Against Amendment to Prohibit Federal Funds for Colleges That Discriminate Against Asians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Democrats voted against an amendment Thursday to prohibit federal funds for colleges that discriminate against Asian Americans.

Amendment SA 1456 was proposed by Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as an addition to the “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act,” proposed by Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono. Hirono’s bill seeks to “designate [an] officer or employee of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to facilitate the expedited review of COVID-19 hate crimes and reports of COVID-19 hate crimes.”

Cruz’s amendment sought to prohibit federal funds for higher education institutions that discriminate against Asian Americans. The amendment states that no school may receive federal funding if the institution has “a policy in place or engages in a practice that discriminates against Asian Americans in recruitment, applicant review, or admissions,” according to the amendment text.

Every Senate Democrat voted against Cruz’s amendment, which failed to pass at a vote of 49-48.

Former President George W. Bush told People magazine that he wrote in Condoleezza Rice when he voted for president in the 2020 election.

. . .Bush also clarified comments made earlier this week in which he called today’s GOP “isolationist, protectionist and, to a certain extent, nativist.” The former president told People that he “painted with too broad a brush” and excluded “a lot of Republicans who believe we can fix the problem.” . . .

Bush said Rice, who served as his secretary of state from 2005 to 2009, knew he wrote her name on his ballot. (Read more from “George Bush Voted Against Trump in 2020” HERE)

DHS Whistleblower: Border Guards Are ‘Burned Out’ From Biden Policies (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Homeland Security whistleblower is offering a glimpse into how officers facing the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis are faring — saying Biden policies “were implemented irresponsibly” by people who are removed from the situation on the ground and “do not have any sense of realism.”

In an interview with Fox News‘ Sara Carter on “Hannity” Thursday evening, the unidentified DHS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed increasing frustration at the federal government’s handling of the situation.

“People are just very burned out and there’s not a lot of optimism that it’s going to get better anytime soon,” the unnamed official, a male, told Carter.

College Soccer Player Kicked Off Team for Refusing to Kneel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kiersten Hening, a former Virginia Tech women’s soccer player, is suing her former coach after she was allegedly benched and forced off the team because she didn’t want to kneel during a pregame demonstration last September.

Hening, 21, was a midfielder/defender for the Hokies from 2018 to 2020. In a federal lawsuit filed last month, Hening said that her former coach, Charles Adair, wasn’t a fan of her political views. According to the documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Hening said during the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement last summer, she often had a difference of opinion from her teammates on social justice topics.

In the lawsuit, Hening said that she “supports social justice and believes that black lives matter” but she said that she “does not support BLM the organization.” Hening added that she disagrees with Black Lives Matter’s “tactics and core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police.”

Hening said during the pregame reading of a “unity statement” on Sept. 12, 2020, many of her teammates knelt before their game against Virginia, but she remained standing and she was “verbally attacked” by Adair at halftime.

Chauvin Trial Juror Admits She Feared Backlash Depending On Verdict

/1 Comment/in , /by

During an interview with KARE 11 a juror for the trial of ex-Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who ultimately found out she was an alternate, expressed concern about being called for the job because she “didn’t want to see rioting again” and was scared people would show up at her home if they were unhappy with a particular verdict.

Raguse: Did you want to be a juror?

Christensen: I had mixed feelings. There was a question on the questionnaire about it and I put I did not know. The reason, at that time, was I did not know what the outcome was going to be, so I felt like either way you are going to disappoint one group or the other. I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict.

Why Are People Dumping Cow Poop Outside the White House?; NOT A JOKE: AOC Declares Racism Causing Global Warming; Will Biden Fulfill Climate Pledge Through Executive Orders?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Dozens of climate activists dumped wheelbarrows purportedly filled with cow poop outside the White House during an Earth Day protest Thursday against President Joe Biden’s “bullsh*t” climate plan.

Protesters with the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion D.C. packed what appeared to be cow manure in pink-colored wheelbarrows near Rawlins Park earlier Thursday morning, according to WUSA 9. They said their plan was to dump the manure at the eastern entrance of the White House “in response to Biden’s bullsh*t climate plan.”

Demonstrators could also be heard chanting “Bullsh*t” and “No more climate crisis” while marching down the street. They also held banner that read, “Declare a climate emergency now” and “Biden’s 2030 plan = mass death,” according to WUSA 9.

AOC Declares Racism Causing Global Warming

By Breitbart. Radical Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) relaunched the Green New Deal on Earth Day Eve by suggesting climate change is caused by racial injustice.

“The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological cost,” she claimed.

“Which means that we must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change, that the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change,” she doubled down.

The member of Congress turned Twitter star connected the dots of her conviction. “Because we are allowing people … to deny ourselves human rights and deny people the right to health care, the right to housing and education,” she alleged.

Biden Can Fulfill ‘a Lot’ of Climate Pledge Through Executive Orders, Kerry Says

By Washington Examiner. Climate envoy John Kerry suggested Thursday that the White House can lean on executive orders to achieve President Joe Biden’s aggressive new target of cutting U.S. emissions 50% to 52% by 2030.

Kerry was asked at the White House press briefing how the U.S. pledge, submitted to the United Nations as part of the Paris Agreement, is credible with so much Republican opposition to it.

“A lot of the plan is executable through executive order,” Kerry responded.

Kerry’s comments downplaying the need for new legislation contradicts the views of other Biden administration officials, who have acknowledged the need for help from Congress. (Read more from “Biden Can Fulfill ‘a Lot’ of Climate Pledge Through Executive Orders, Kerry Says” HERE)

WATCH: Woman GOES OFF on School Board For Forcing Children to Wear Masks

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mother tore into school board members for requiring children to wear masks despite evidence that kids are largely safe from COVID-19, demanding, “take these masks off of my child.”

In remarks that have since gone viral on social media, Georgia mother Courtney Ann Taylor criticized Gwinnett County Board of Education members for speaking about “social, emotional health” for months, telling them, “If you truly mean that, you would end the mask requirement tonight. Tonight.”

“This is not March 2020 anymore,” Taylor said. “We have three vaccines, every adult in the state of Georgia that wants that vaccine is eligible to get it, right now, and every one of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus.”

“They’re not,” Taylor said, as she began to get emotional, “and that’s a blessing.” “But as the adults what have we done with that blessing? We’ve shoved it to the side and we’ve said we don’t care, ‘You’re still gonna wear a mask on your face every day, 5 and 6-year-olds, you still can’t play together on the playground like normal children, 7 and 8-year-olds,’” she said.

Concerning Report: Christians Increasingly Targets Of ‘Polite Persecution’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Beneath the cloak of “progress,” an increasingly hostile secularism is threatening Christians in the West with a “polite persecution,” contends an annual report on religious freedom worldwide.

“If Christians in the Middle East need to fear the machete, Christians in the Western world need to fear the media, higher education, activist organizations and government,” says Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, in a commentary on the report. “They are the ones advocating, or imposing, a secular agenda on religious institutions.” . . .

The persecution of Christians takes two forms today, the report says. Everyone is familiar with the violence against people and property, but there is a more subtle form, Donahue said, “relying on restrictive measures encoded in public policy and law.”

The second form is called “polite persecution,” the ACN report explains, because it hides under a veneer of “enlightened” secularism.

Donohue says attacks of that kind against religious believers “may not be as immediate or acute, but they can be culturally lethal.” (Read more from “Concerning Report: Christians Increasingly Targets Of ‘Polite Persecution'” HERE)

China Promotes ‘Green Belt and Road’ at Biden Climate Summit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese dictator Xi Jinping used his appearance Thursday morning at the Biden administration’s Leaders Summit on Climate to promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a debt trap program in which China offers predatory loans to developing countries in exchange for helping build infrastructure.

President Joe Biden invited dozens of world leaders to address the virtual summit on the occasion of Earth Day, an unofficial holiday promoting environmentalism, and offer proposals to reduce global pollution rates and discuss international programs to slow climate change.

China is the world’s biggest polluter, responsible for 28 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. That rate is over twice the amount of carbon emissions as the United States, the world’s second-largest emitter. China has boasted that it intends to increase carbon emissions over the next decade and only “peak” by 2030, as permitted by the Paris Climate Agreement, while condemning Western nations whose carbon emissions have been steadily declining in the past decade.

President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement during his tenure, but Biden reversed course and recommitted the U.S. to the deal as one of his first acts in office.

China’s state-run Global Times described Xi’s presence at the Leaders Summit on Climate as a “challenge” to Biden and the United States generally on its presence as the world’s dominant political power. (Read more from “China Promotes ‘Green Belt and Road’ at Biden Climate Summit” HERE)
