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)

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)

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)

GOP Infrastructure Plan Nixes Far-Left Wishlist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Republicans on Thursday have formally countered President Joe Biden’s $2.25 trillion proposal at $568 billion.

The proposal maintains the 21 percent corporate tax rate and current state and local tax (SALT) deductions, opposing Biden’s tax hike to 28 percent and Senate Democrats’ proposal of 25 percent. The initiative also includes raising “taxes on those making more than $400,000 a year,” Axios reported.

Moreover, the Republican initiative focuses on traditional infrastructure items, such as roads, bridges, water storage, broadband, and ports. The plan does not include the Democrats’ “Orwellian campaign” that seeks to relabel many far-left policies as “infrastructure.” . . .

Meanwhile, Biden’s $2.25 proposal hit another wall Wednesday when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he would like to see bipartisanship on the measure. “I would hope to see Democrats and Republicans agreeing on infrastructure – infrastructure by itself,” he told reporters.

“It won’t be the $2.3 trillion; that, I can tell you,” Manchin said. (Read more from “GOP Infrastructure Plan Nixes Far-Left Wishlist” HERE)

Blacks In Portland Demand End To Antifa Violence

/1 Comment/in , /by

Leaders of the black community in Portland, Oregon, have written a letter to Antifa and other radical leftists telling them to stop causing trouble – in the name of helping blacks.

“Over the last year we have watched as people have profited from and damaged our movement without our consent or approval,” the letter, posted on the Weouthere website, said.

The site explained the letter was in response “to ongoing behavior seen as detrimental to Black Liberation.”

The letter, signed by dozens of writers, speakers, artists, teachers, parents and professionals, said, “As Black Oregonians concerned with the ongoing lack of accountability for the police violence that continues to disproportionately impact Black communities, the disabled, those with mental illness, the unhoused, and other marginalized people, it is important for us to stand in solidarity and state our shared values.” . . .

So, they explained, “We need our allies in this fight to understand and honor this fact. Understand that doing damage to us, our communities, and our resources undoes the work we do. Black people are not a monolith, and having a complicit Black person in your planning space does not indicate support from the Black community. For decades, efforts towards Black Liberation have suffered at the hands of both well-meaning allies and predatory opportunists, and over the last year we have watched as people have profited from and damaged our movement without our consent or approval.” (Read more from “Blacks In Portland Demand End To Antifa Violence” HERE)

House Approves Democrats D.C. Statehood Plan

/2 Comments/in , /by

The House on Thursday voted to approve what has been described as a Democrat “power grab” – a plan to make the District of Columbia the 51st state and line up two more party members in the Senate. . .

It’s because, the report said, “The district’s population of more than 700,000 residents reliably votes for Democrats and would, without question, send two additional Democratic senators to Congress.”

The vote was 216-208 along party lines but has a low likelihood of survival in the Senate, where Democrats would need at least 10 Republican senators to support their political maneuver.

Democrats have lobbied for the plan, saying taxpaying District residents are denied representation in Congress.

“Congress has the moral obligation and the constitutional authority to pass H.R. 51,” claimed Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who now is Washington’s nonvoting member of the House. (Read more from “House Approves Democrats D.C. Statehood Plan” HERE)

Arizona Declares State Of Emergency, Deploys National Guard Over Border Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) has issued a Declaration of Emergency and the deployment of National Guard troops to the state’s southern border to assist local law enforcement with the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants pouring into the U.S. from Mexico.

Ducey’s office announced the state of emergency Tuesday, saying that “the State will provide up to $25 million in initial funding for the mission” that entails up to 250 guardsmen assisting at border communities by providing medical care in detention centers, installing surveillance cameras, and other services.

The media release noted that U.S. Customs and Border Protection saw more than 170,000 apprehensions at the U.S. southern border in March, nearly 19,000 of which “were unaccompanied children — more than four times the number of kids apprehended in March 2020.”

“The situation in our border communities is just as bad—if not worse—than the coverage we’ve been seeing,” the governor said in a statement. (Read more from “Arizona Declares State Of Emergency, Deploys National Guard Over Border Crisis” HERE)
