David Pakman tells us about more abortion denials for raped pregnant minors in Ohio...and as far as I’m concerned, the “end game” is for the High Court to completely and utterly destroy the right to privacy in this country, and the SCOTUS of “Strip Search Sammy” Alito, “I Like Beer” Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Island Baby Barrett is ready and willing to do just that (not for a second, though, am I trying to discount how truly monstrous these stories are about these women – I guess it shouldn’t surprise me in the least, sadly, that we have come to this point...more than anyone else, I believe the people we should “thank” are white elderly conservative suburban boomers who will always consider the Repugs the “daddy” party and the Dems the “mommy” party...hard to get my head around that much of a denial of reality I’ll admit)...
Update 11/17/22: I'm sure Alito and his Federalist Society pals will have a laugh over this.
...and I really like these commentaries from Texas Paul of Meidas Touch because I think he makes a lot of sense, and yes, I would say the same thing if he were calling out bad behavior by Democrats...Dana Loesch pretty much goes “mask off” here and says that she doesn’t care how many abortions Herschel Walker has paid for; she just wants control of the U.S. Senate (the latest reprehensible behavior from Walker is noted here)...
...and I apologize for being a little late with noting the protests in Iran over the killing of Mahsa Amini (David Doel tells us more)...kudos to these brave women facing the hellish treatment they’ve encountered and no doubt continue to face as they stand up for their rights (I’m sure the Philistines on our SCOTUS are taking notes and probably saying “Hey, why didn’t WE think of that?”)...
...and Sam Seder of The Majority Report notes that the U.N. has asked Fed Chief Jerome Powell (and heads of other similar global institutions in developed countries) to not raise interest rates because of the damage that does to developing countries and their infrastructure...I’m a little mystified by Sam’s remark that, if you send $$ to the IRS, they just “burn it”...I definitely don’t agree, though, to be fair, I think Sam also makes a great argument to support the fact that our inflation is based on supply issues and not demand issues – and let’s not forget that Powell is a holdover from #45...there’s also a reference to the clip with Kyle Kulinski about the CEO of Iron Mountain praying – preying? – for inflation...”we’re all Keynesians now, and then we weren’t” indeed...
...and Thom Hartmann tells us Why Republicans Can’t Save The Economy (yet another failure of Dem messaging at this point if ANYBODY out there STILL thinks that the “party of Lincoln” doesn’t want to do anything with our economy besides drive the car straight off the metaphorical cliff...the “D” team can’t rely on our useless corporate media to communicate that message...this thing with Jerome Powell is starting to remind me of how Paul Volcker screwed over Jimmy Carter as Treasury Secretary so Volcker could help his friend The Sainted Ronnie R...”if you take out the three tax cuts under Reagan and Dubya and two wars, we have no national debt”...incredible!)...
(Update 1 10/7/22)...and focusing on world stuff again, I present this video once more as a "tribute" to Vlad The Butcher on his birthday...I was wondering if ANYBODY was going to hold our world leaders to account for sucking up to Putin, and this New York Times clip from earlier in the summer does exactly that...hard to properly describe the unbelievable failure of world leadership on this score...there were plenty of warnings that were completely ignored...
Update 2 10/7/22: And speaking of warnings, I apologize for neglecting this heroic journalist who was murdered on Putin's birthday (wink, wink)...I know 5 were convicted in her killing as noted here, and 2 of the 5 ended up receiving life sentences.
Update 11/14/23: One of those murdering bastards was pardoned by Vlad the Butcher, who obviously believes that the reason for his original conviction has been forgotten by now; hope I'm wrong about that (here).
...and Beau gives us his take on where Russia stands in Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine (basically, Beau’s argument is that any political goal will not be achieved, and prospects for achieving some kind of a military goal looks problematic too...and yeah, I think “imperialism” pretty much says it)...
...and speaking of birthdays, happy belated 75th to Jim Fielder of Blood, Sweat and Tears.
