ABORTION: [5:10] – Three pro-life organizations were violently attacked over the weekend, one in Wisconsin and two in Oregon. Catholic churches in Boulder, Colorado, and Houston, Texas, were defaced with pro-abortion graffiti and four female protesters attempted (failed) to disrupt Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. The worst thing so far is that the Tabernacle containing consecrated hosts was stolen from the Catholic church in Katy, Texas. Tweeters promised to desecrate what they called “worthless bread” but Catholics believe is the real flesh of Jesus Christ.

On Monday, CINO Pelosi praised pro-abortion protesters, who she said “have channeled their righteous anger into meaningful action: planning to march and mobilize to make their voices heard.” Pelosi also vowed that Democrats will “fight relentlessly” to thwart the Supreme Court’s expected decision striking down Roe vs. Wade.

COTTON: CLICK https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1524095152976973829 [1:06] to hear the Arkansas senator point out the infuriating double standard and abuse of power.

EASTER MEDITATION: Fr. Columba explains Lectio Divina in simple terms [11:43].

FAUCI: In late October 2020, Fauci shot off his mouth on NBC saying that Trump had been wrong to compare the ‘rona to the flu. Now the head of the FDA says that Americans will have to accept that COVID-19 as yet another respiratory virus that circulates around the globe and busts out seasonally. You know, like the flu.

FAUXTUS: [2:24] – “That’s what happens when you order a president through the mail.” Yup.

FLORIDA: On Monday, Governor DeSantis signed a bill that requires public high schools to observe “Victims of Communism Day.” DeSantis said the bill will help make sure young people learn about “the evils of communism, the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffered and continue to suffer under the weight of this discredited ideology.”

KENTUCKY DERBY: [:57] – Awesome footage (with very helpful arrows) showing Rich Strike’s amazing performance. I’m guessing this race will not only make his career, but also his jockey’s!

MIDTERMS: A generic congressional ballot survey taken right before the leaked Roe draft showed Republicans with a one point advantage. Similar polls, taken one and three days after the leak hit the news, showed Republicans with a seven point advantage!

Another very recent poll found that 54% of Americans favor (vs. 41% oppose) state laws banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, except in the case of a medical emergency, which is the substance of the Mississippi abortion law at the heart of the current Supreme Court case.

SIDS: What wonderful news … and so perfect for Mother’s Day!

SCOTUS: On Friday, Justice Clarence Thomas said, “We are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don’t like. We can’t be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want. The events from earlier this week are a symptom of that.”

Justice Alito has been moved to an undisclosed location. He is the author of the leaked draft and one of the five justices the baby-killing Left is trying to bully.

TRANS LUNACY: Did you know that Mother Nature is a transphobic bigot? Yup. It seems the nasty bitch didn’t give trannies the ability to conceive, carry, and birth a child. And the fact that medical experts have not yet solved this problem is proof positive that the entire healthcare system is also transphobic.

TUCKER: [13:18] – I’m thinking that if this woman had done her disgusting demonstration outside an abortion clinic, she would’ve been arrested.

TWITTER: Elon doesn’t own it yet and it shows. RBPundit has been banned from posting for 7 days, because he compared someone to a whore. Meanwhile, Twitter accounts that are openly calling for violence against pro-life organizations and people are up and running.

WAR ON WOMEN: The Taliban, which took over the government of Afghanistan following the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal, has now ordered that that women may only leave their homes in cases of necessity and must cover their faces while out. Violations of this directive will lead to the punishment of their male relatives.

I spent Monday in the ER getting chest pain checked out. All the tests were normal, so I got to go home again. Now I have to wait and see what my primary says about the chest pain. Since I wasn’t at my desk at all, today’s post is going to be news free. The first video is very long, but if you can find time, I think you’ll find it compelling.

Below are four short videos about the rescue of a badly neglected horse. I watched it right after the one above and couldn’t help but think how Thaddeus’ experience is a wonderful metaphor for how those of God’s children who really got the short end of the stick here on Earth will be so tenderly cared for when they get to Heaven. “Is this all mine?” Yeah. ::sniff::

BABY FORMULAS: They’re sold out at both IRL and online stores. Some third-party sellers online have them available, but only at exorbitant prices. That explains the sudden rash of DIY baby formula recipes I’ve been seeing on Facebook.

My youngest is still in ICU, following surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. She says she slept well and is hoping to be allowed to try to stand on her own, so those are both good signs! However, she’s worried about her milk production. Given the formula shortage, it is extra important that the Lord preserve her body’s ability to feed Wee Zee the old fashioned way. Thanks so much for your continued prayers.

CATHOLIC: Police were called out to Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Boulder to see the damage vandals did to the property. Vandals broke windows and painted “Abortion Saves Lives” and “My Body My Choice” on the building and statues.

CODIFYING ROE: Dems can usually count on Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) to vote with them when it comes to killing unborn babies. But she says she opposes the Dem’s planned bill to enshrine abortion on demand at any time into federal law. She says the bill would not only eliminate all state laws, but also all conscience protections. “It doesn’t protect the right of a Catholic hospital to not perform abortions. That right has been enshrined in law for a long time.”

EASTER MEDITATION: When confronted with angry pro-abort protesters, do NOT ENGAGE with them. If you’re online, just pray and keep scrolling. If you’re in person, get on your knees or simply stand quietly, close your eyes or look somewhere that is not at them, and PRAY. This battle is SPIRITUAL and we have the biggest guns in the fight, if only we would USE THEM.

ELECTION FRAUD: “2000 Mules” premiered Saturday evening. You can buy it on DVD for $24.99 at the shop link below.

FLORIDA: Not tired of winning.

KENTUCKY DERBY: CLICK https://twitter.com/NBCSports/status/1523083084442202114 to see one of the biggest upsets in horse racing history. Watch for the favorite, Epicenter, who started at 4-1. He runs mostly in the middle, then makes his surge after the half-way mark. During the last few lengths, the commenter is so focused on the favorite, Epicenter, and second favorite, Zandon, that he doesn’t even notice Rich Strike coming up on the inside! Rich Strike, who started dead last in the rankings at 80-1, won the Derby in what is easily one of the most exciting piece of horse racing footage I’ve ever seen.

KINDNESS: I have found several of these channels at YouTube. It boggles my mind that anyone is making a full-time income just from posting videos. But how cool that they use the freedom to help others!

SOUND OF FREEDOM: [2:36] – Very powerful people are doing their best to stop this film from being released. It needs to be seen. Google the film title, share the trailer on social media, and ask why hasn’t Sound of Freedom been released.

SUPER SPREADER EVENT: God has such a wicked sense of humor. Even as the Libs were self-congratulating themselves at the fully-vaxxxed-and-boosted White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the ‘rona virus was busily spreading itself to attendees. Because, guess what, oh my, don’t say it, the vaxxx doesn’t work.

TOLERANCE: CLICK the links to see pro-abortion demonstrations outside of Chief Justice Roberts’ and Justice Kavanaugh’s homes.

UK: Last year, a British medical regulator ordered Dr. Dermot Kearney to stop prescribing progesterone, a natural hormone, to women who regretted having taken an abortion pill. Dr. Kearney began legal proceedings to challenge the ban, which has since been reversed.

“I am relieved and delighted,” said Kearney, who has helped 32 women to give birth to healthy babies after reversing the effects of the abortion drugs. “My hope is that women across the UK will now be told by medical regulators and abortion providers that abortion reversal treatment is safe, that it is available, and that success is possible if they regret their decision to have an abortion and choose to seek help.”

Happy Mother’s Day

ABORTION ACTIVISTS: [5:11] – A radical abortion group calling itself “Ruth Sent Us” announced this week that it is mobilizing activists to enter Catholic churches during Mass this coming Sunday in response to reports that the Supreme Court is set to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

“Whether you’re a ‘Catholic for Choice’, ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe,” the group stated on Twitter. “Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sun May 8.” “Sometime a*****es need a beating,” another post from the group stated.

Fox News, Daily Mail, National Review, Washington Times, NY Post, etc. have all have reported on this. But the Left Stream Media is almost entirely ::crickets:: although CNN has been loudly and repeatedly sounding the alarm about the imminent threat of ‘far Right’ violence over SCOTUS draft opinion. It beats me why we’d be getting mad about it. We want what the draft says!

Meanwhile, at MSDNC, jerknalist Yamiche Alcindor grieved over the possibility that overturning Roe could result in “pregnancies that will then turn into children.” Cuz biology … or something. And a panel discussed how racist those terrorist pro-lifers are. Best tweet: “Why does the left always project? Margaret Sanger was a racist, eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood because she wanted to abort black babies.”

CALIFORNICATION: CLICK https://rumble.com/v13mbbq-calif.-failed-to-prepare-for-drought-now-punishes-citizens.html [8:37] to hear a report on more Democrat failure.

COMMUNISM: “Communism is about power. Power over humanity, your neighbors, your community. Without power, it’s impossible to be a Communist, or at least a successful Communist.” … There. Fixed it for you.

CPCs: Crisis Pregnancy Centers provide the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual support that women in crisis pregnancies desperately need to carry their babies to term and care for them afterwards. Pro-aborts have a long history of trying to force them to offer abortion referrals, which they won’t do, because they are almost all founded, staffed and funded by private citizens who oppose abortion.

EASTER MEDITATION: “If you could design your own mother, wouldn’t you make her the very best possible mother ever? Well God could. So He did.” – Father Columba Jordan, CFR

FAUXTUS: While defending the non-existent “right” to murder unborn human beings, Mumbling Joe actually made a strong case for banning the horrible practice altogether. “I believe the rights that I have, not because the government gave them to me, which you believe, but because I’m just a child of God, I exist.”

GEORGIA: On Wednesday, the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) voted to ban gender-confused students from joining teams of the opposite sex.

HUNTER: You’ll have to click to see the password he had on his infamous, abandoned laptop, cuz no way am I typing those words here! Best tweet: “I mean, no case sensitive, no special characters….this is just irresponsible.”

IRONY: This one tweet is a three-fer in the sick, twisted Left’s irony bucket. An account named “Motherboard” promoted DIY abortions via an article posted at a site named “Vice” praising the use of horse medicine for off-label, no-physician-needed use in humans. (Anyone else remember them piling on about “horse dewormer” after Joe Rogan’s physician prescribed ivermectin for his ‘rona?)

LEFT vs. RIGHT: “This is at the expense of tens of millions of women who could soon be stripped of their bodily autonomy and the constitutional rights they’ve relied on for half a century.” – Nancy Pelosi

“You know what strips people of their bodily autonomy? Being killed in the womb.” – Ben Shapiro

MASKS: Data from 35 countries and 602 million people using face masks “failed to show a benefit” and “may have harmful unintended consequences.” Try to control you amazement and disbelief …

MTG: On Friday, a judge ruled that freshman Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia should not be barred from running for reelection because she supported the January 6, 2021 protest on Capitol Hill.

NIGERIA: Muslim extremists continue to slaughter Christians. On Thursday, they entered a village and fired AK-47s while shouting “Allah Akbar.” Eight died, including two children.

PROTEST: The FAUXTUS administration that loudly condemns the J6 protest has refused to tell pro-abort protesters to stay away from the private homes of Supreme Court justices.

Peter Doocy followed up with Psaki, “Some of these justices have young kids. Their neighbors are not all public figures. So would the president think about waving off activists who want to go into residential neighborhoods in Virginia and Maryland?”

Psaki said, “I think our view here is that peaceful protests — there’s a long history in the United States in the country. And we’ve certainly encouraged people to keep it peaceful and not resort to any level of violence.”

Hmm … I distinctly recall President Trump telling the J6 protesters to keep it peaceful, which most of them did. Yet Dems keep screaming about how he somehow planned and incited a violent insurrection.

PURGE: The FBI is suspending the security clearances of employees (i.e., canning them) who legally and peacefully attended the Jan. 6 rally. They haven’t been charged with any crimes. They just were there, supporting President Trump.

This is the kind of thing the secret police in Iran, China, and Cuba do. And it goes along perfectly with the Left’s new Ministry of Truth.

ROE: It hasn’t just been awful for babies and women. It’s also hurt men and, you know, society in general. But that’s what happens when you ignore God’s law. Everything goes into the crapper. “In the 50 yrs since Roe, men have become less likely to find a spouse, less likely father kids or live with the kids they father, and less likely to participate in the workforce.” – Ross Douthat

In NYC, a street performer disrupted a pro-life prayer service outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral with this. CLICK https://twitter.com/ScooterCasterNY/status/1522979963439357953 [4:15]. I quit watching when she started slamming the dolls on to the pavement. Best tweet: “Such a reasoned and well thought out argument. I’ve changed my position. ::clownfaces::.”

VAXXX: Due to potentially life-threatening blood clots, the FDA is restricting the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 adenovirus vaccine to those 18 and older who can’t receive mRNA vaccines. I wonder how many J&J employees refused to get their company’s vaxxx, because they knew about this.

VOTER FRAUD: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1381334499041217 [6:59] to hear Tucker interview True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht. I’m thinking the fact they used drop boxes at all is evidence of intent to fraud. I have been an absentee voter for many years. Unless Dearest is willing to hand deliver my ballots, they go through the mail.

GRAMMY NOTES: The Mascots enjoy tabletop war gaming. Last night, Bunny and Bootz teamed up against Mama and Papa … and slaughtered them! Bunny didn’t even lose any of her guys! LOL I’m trying to think of all the skills these complex games teach … creating the set, building and painting the miniatures (art), choosing an army and placing them (strategy), learning rules and adapting to different gaming scenarios (excellent life skills!), throwing and calculating the results from multiple dice, looking up what the results mean on the game cards, choosing how to use the allowed move, and using a measuring tape to advance soldiers the correct amount (math skills), attacking, being attacked, winning, and losing (learning how to win and lose graciously), and experiencing the joy of spending time, face to face, with other human beings (instead of looking at a screen). My Grammy Heart is loving this!

Abortion on Demand

Schumer says he is going to force the Senate to vote next Wednesday on a bill that would federally mandate all states to allow abortion at any time during pregnancy and for any or no reason whatsoever.

Keep in mind what they think voters want …

Abortion at any time … that means, if a woman is literally in labor with a full term, healthy baby, she can still decide to tell the doctor to kill it.

Abortion for any or no reason … that means they don’t actually care about the hard cases they love to weep about. If a woman wants to end the life of the healthy baby she conceived with her fiancé so she can fit into her wedding dress and avoid embarrassment about having had sex before her big day, that should be her choice.

The White House has already admitted that the bill is doomed to fail, but Democrats think that their grandstanding on this will help them in the midterms. Wait, wut?

I’m really wondering if Schumer & co. bother to read polls or if they just believe their own codswallop. I’ve been tracking real abortion polls since the 1980s. The ones that aren’t dishonestly or vaguely worded have shown essentially the same numbers throughout that time. The following statistics are from polls that are all less than 12 months old.

UNLIMITED: Only 36% of Americans want unlimited legal abortion and only 62% of Democrats want it imposed on the entire nation by the federal government.

OVERTURN ROE: 44% of American want Roe overturned so the states can choose.

NOT ON DEMAND: 58% of Americans oppose abortion on demand.

AFTER VIABILITY: 27% of Americans say abortion should only be permitted before the fetus is able to survive outside the womb. As neonatal care improves, this gestational age has gotten earlier and earlier. I believe the youngest micro-premies are now in the 21 week range, which is approximately half way through a full-term pregnancy.

AFTER HEARTBEAT: 55% of voters support banning abortions after the unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, which is about six weeks.

RARELY: The numbers of Americans vary among those who say abortion should never be permitted under any circumstance or should only be permitted to save the life of the mother or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. However, the total percentages for this group, which supports banning more than 97% of all abortions, consistently ranges from 51% to 61%.

ABORTION: CLICK https://rumble.com/v13m23t-gop-senate-candidate-gives-incredible-answer-on-abortion-question.html [1:10] to hear GOP candidate for Pennsylvania Senate, Kathy Barnette, give her opinion on Roe.

ACCEPTABLE: Women on TikTok say that overturning Roe will destroy the casual sex, hook-up culture. One wrote, “We all need to collectively agree to never touch another man again if it gets overturned.”

DURHAM: [3:41] – A D.C. federal judge rejected the Clinton campaign’s claim that the documents Special Counsel John Durham wants to see are protected by the attorney-client privilege. He’s ordered them to be produced so he can look at them and decide if they can be legally withheld from Durham.

EASTER MEDITATION: The scientific explanation is clear. From the moment of conception, each zygote is a living, growing, and genetically unique human being. The Christian explanation is equally clear. Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Jesus was fully human and fully divine from the moment of conception.

We get further confirmation of this in Scripture. When the barely pregnant Mary visited Elizabeth and the then-six-month-old fetus, John, recognized Him. Jesus was like us in all things but sin; therefore, not only do our physical lives begin at conception, but so too do our spiritual lives.

FAUXTUS: “Apparently @JoeBiden thought that his remarks calling 74 million Americans the worst extremists in recent history — worse than the KKK, Antifa, neo-Nazis — was such a great point that he’s tweeting the video of himself saying it. Unity™!” – Joel Pollak

FLORIDA: On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that many American CEOs are second-guessing their “Get Woke” strategies out of fear of becoming “the next Disney.” Works for me!

INSURRECTION: A radical Leftist organization called Ruth Sent Us has set up a website directing angry abortion activists to go to “the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland … [to] force accountability.” Let us pray for the safety of the justices and their loved ones and for the sanity and souls of those planning them harm.

MIDTERMS: All 22 Trump-backed candidates won their primaries in the recent Ohio and Indiana races.

MINISTRY OF TRUTH: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, has introduced a bill to dissolve President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “Disinformation Governance Board.” The bill would also create protections against the future formation of any such body and require the DHS to disclose all records and communications about creating the board.

PRO-LIFE: [11:04] – Seth Gruber is “A Voice for the Unborn” and he does a fabulous job.

REVOLVING DOOR: This is typical of D.C. When Jen Psaki leaves next week, Karine Jean-Pierre, a former political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, will step into her place at the White House.

GRAMMY NOTES: Please besiege the heavens for my youngest, Marine Princess. She had a pituitary tumor removed yesterday and has had some complications. Marine Prince is home with the three wee Marines, ages 5, almost 3, and brand new. Sorry … no funnies today. I’m just not feeling it.

2000 MULES: Dinesh D’Souza’s latest and arguably most important movie to date has been released. It reveals how thousands of ballot traffickers working in all of the battleground states stuffed hundreds of thousands of ballots into the ballot drop boxes in order to steal the election for Joe Biden.

ABORTION: The same people who so very recently shrieked that the unvaxxxed should be fired from their jobs, locked in their homes, and denied any form of health care are now shrieking about their right to bodily autonomy.

DISCOVERY+: A new show called The Book of Queer presents five episodes, all aimed at children, claiming to tell “the story of multiple historic and groundbreaking queer individuals throughout history.” In the trailer, an actor sings about “the world’s queer exciting truth” and promises to “shine a light on the dark ages.”

Among other things, the show plans to “out” President Lincoln and Michaelangelo as having been homosexuals, while Joan of Arc was allegedly non-binary. I’m not sure whose butt-hole the evidence for this crap came from, but I doubt it was anything that legitimate historians would countenance.

EASTER MEDITATION: I came across this somewhere online – To filter out demonic attempts to whisper in your ear and to help you discern what is coming from your own sinfulness and what has been coming from or being encouraged by Satan, bless your ears every morning and evening “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”

I think I’m going to start doing this. I’ve got a bottle that Dearest gets refilled for me at church. I use it to bless myself morning and evening anyway, so it’ll be a small change to just dab my ears. I think of binding and blessings like this the same way I think about brushing, flossing, and putting antibiotic ointment on cuts. You don’t wait until after there’s an infection, right? And we know that demons are at least as active as bacteria and viruses and far more intelligent and malevolent! It only makes sense to take pre-emptive action.

EDUCATION: After voters elected conservatives, the Forest Hills school board voted 4-0 (with one abstention) to ban Turpin High School from having a “Diversity Day” or any similar event during school hours or on taxpayers’ dime.

FAUXTUS: In 2012, during the VP debate, Biden stated, “Life begins at conception, that’s the Church’s judgment. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose … that on others.”

Last September, he said, “I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception. I don’t agree, but I respect that. I’m not going to impose that on people.”

On Tuesday, on Tuesday, he claimed that no “mainstream” religion even has a position on when human life begins. He also referred to the unborn human being as a “child.”

FLORIDA: Democrats better worry. Parents be getting feisty and I’d like to bet we make up the largest voting bloc of all. (N.b., the name of the group! Dems can’t count on People of Color any more!)

INDIA: On Monday, India’s Supreme Court ruled that no person can be forced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and that all trials and adverse reactions data be made available to the public without further delay.

NEW YORK: Union College in Schenectady has unenrolled Diamond Puentes and given her 3 days to vacate housing for refusing to get a ‘rona booster. She says the original jabs left her with constant nausea that sometimes leads to vomiting, chest pains, and shortness of breath and that her physician told her it would be a bad idea to get the booster. The school doesn’t care.

OKLAHOMA: On Tuesday, Gov. Stitt signed into law a bill restricting abortion after a preborn baby’s heartbeat is detected, which typically occurs at about six weeks of pregnancy.

“I want Oklahoma to be the most pro-life state in the country because I represent all four million Oklahomans who overwhelmingly want to protect the unborn.”

ROE v. WADE: If/when the Supremes overturn this evil decision, the right to legislate abortion returns to the states. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have enacted pro-abortion laws. Twenty-three have laws in place that could/will be used to restrict abortion.

On Tuesday, FAUXTUS put out a call for legislation to enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law. Happily, Democrats currently don’t have the votes in the Senate to pass such a bill.

ST. JANUARIUS: The blood of St. Januarius liquefied this week in Naples, Italy. The congealed blood is brought out and tilted three times a year: the first Saturday of May; Sept. 19 (the saint’s feast day), and Dec. 16 (the anniversary of the 1631 eruption of nearby Mount Vesuvius). Failure of the blood to liquefy is believed to serve as a warning to Neapolitans that war, famine, disease, or other disaster is coming.

STUDENT LOANS: The Education Department has canceled around $6.8 billion in student debt for more than 110,000 borrowers.

UNITY: On Wednesday, President Unity went on at length about how the “MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that has existed in American history.” Biden repeatedly mispronounced “MAGA” as “mega” then corrected himself.

VAXXX: A year-long study regularly interviewed roughly 40,000 vaxxxed Germans and found that approximately eight out of every 1,000 of them were struggling with serious adverse side effects from the jabs. This number is “40 times higher than previously recorded.” With conventional vaccines, such as against polio or measles, the number of serious side effects is significantly lower.

That Slippery Slope

EXCERPT from Why is Canada euthanising the poor? by Yuan Yi Zhu:

Since last year, Canadian law, in all its majesty, has allowed both the rich as well as the poor to kill themselves if they are too poor to continue living with dignity. In fact, the ever-generous Canadian state will even pay for their deaths. What it will not do is spend money to allow them to live instead of killing themselves.

As with most slippery slopes, it all began with a strongly worded denial that it exists. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada reversed 22 years of its own jurisprudence by striking down the country’s ban on assisted suicide as unconstitutional, blithely dismissing fears that the ruling would ‘initiate a descent down a slippery slope into homicide’ against the vulnerable as founded on ‘anecdotal examples’. The next year, Parliament duly enacted legislation allowing euthanasia, but only for those who suffer from a terminal illness whose natural death was ‘reasonably foreseeable’.

It only took five years for the proverbial slope to come into view, when the Canadian parliament enacted Bill C-7, a sweeping euthanasia law which repealed the ‘reasonably foreseeable’ requirement – and the requirement that the condition should be ‘terminal’. Now, as long as someone is suffering from an illness or disability which ‘cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable’, they can take advantage of what is now known euphemistically as ‘medical assistance in dying’ (MAID for short) for free.

Soon enough, Canadians from across the country discovered that although they would otherwise prefer to live, they were too poor to improve their conditions to a degree which was acceptable.

Not coincidentally, Canada has some of the lowest social care spending of any industrialised country, palliative care is only accessible to a minority, and waiting times in the public healthcare sector can be unbearable, to the point where the same Supreme Court which legalised euthanasia declared those waiting times to be a violation of the right to life back in 2005.

1st AMENDMENT: On Monday, SCOTUS ruled unanimously that the city of Boston violated the First Amendment by refusing to allow the flying a Christian flag in front of city hall. The city has allowed dozens of specialty flags to fly on the third pole, but balked at one with a cross on it. Justice Breyer wrote, “Boston’s lack of meaningful involvement … leads the Court to classify the third-party flag raisings as private, not government, speech.”

2d AMENDMENT: CLICK https://rumble.com/v13bg4w-man-tries-to-rob-concealed-carry-class-is-shot-by-everyone.html [1:39] to hear how a really stupid criminal bought the farm.

FOOD PROCESSING PLANT: ANOTHER fire at ANOTHER plant … this time a Perdue Farms facility in Virginia. Thankfully, this one was contained quickly and the damage is not expected to have a huge impact on the plant’s operation.

HYPOCRISY: Nina Jankowicz is head of FAUXTUS’ new Disinformation Governance board. Her entire job will be to use the power of the Executive branch to stifle speech that Democrats don’t like. But when Trump was in office, she said, “Imagine that, you know, with President Trump right now calling all of these news organizations that have inconvenient for him stories that they — that they’re getting out there that he’s calling fake news, and now lashing out at platforms. I would never want to see our executive branch have that sort of power.”

MEDIA: MSDNC’s Mehdir Hasan went on a hate speech binge earlier this week, spewing Leftist bilge like “America’s far left wants to give us free health care and free child care. America’s far right wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.”

Wait, wut? It isn’t a Republican president who just set up a Ministry of Truth! But it gets better …

“And this asymmetrical polarization of U.S. politics would be laughable if it weren’t so horrifying. We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment, the pro-QAnon, pro-neo-Nazi faction of the Republican Party is poised to expand dramatically come the midterms. We’re just two years away from Donald Trump very possibly reseizing executive power.

“If that happens, we may look back on this past week as a pivotal moment, when a petulant and not-so-bright billionaire casually bought one of the world’s most influential messaging machines and just handed it to the far right.”

MET GALA: This picture of a Black man all masked up and on his knees fixing the Red Queen’s dress should never be forgotten. It sums up the Democratic Party’s century’s long attitude toward Blacks and its current hypocritical “masks for thee but not for me” attitude.

MIDTERMS: Not gonna hold my breath waiting on Dems to scream about how billionaires should butt out of politics.

MY BODY, MY CHOICE: [7:57] – After demanding we all stayed masked and get vaxxxed, the libtards are back to demanding bodily autonomy.

VERMONT: Gov. Scott has signed a law that allows physicians to remotely prescribe medication to be self-administered for the purpose of hastening the patient’s death. Technically, a physician must have physically examined and affirmed the patient has a terminal condition, but this need not be the same physician prescribing the suicide cocktail. And there are no real safeguards against others misusing the drugs to speed an unwilling patient from this mortal coil.

GRAMMY NOTES: People were dancing this at the disco where Dearest and I had our first (accidental) date. A month later, we were engaged to be married. 🙂 ❤
