Greetings from Tyler,
Today is the day the mainstream has been dreading. In actual fact, the abortion issue has been handed back to the states. The 1973 ruling was invalidated as a matter of law. The idea that the U. S. Constitution handed some sacred “right” to women was a fantastic reach in the first place. Finally, nearly 50 years later, it’s been overturned. Some “crowds” (to be charitable) have been parading, banging drums and chanting in front of the homes of Supreme Court Justices. Who are these people? Are they wearing masks outdoors for fear of COVID, or to hide their identities?
If the hard left gets its way, there will be all kinds of mayhem. Nobody seems interested in prosecuting those trying to influence the decision, a crime though it may be. They seem to be doing the dirty work we were promised. Will it set off riots? Maybe looting and burning?
It’s Trump’s fault, of course. Him and his ultra-maga supporters. Biden is mad, Maxine Waters says they’re going to be out protesting in their thousands, or millions. “We are going to make sure we fight for the right to control our own bodies.” (Where was she during the mask mandate?) They’ll defy the Supreme Court. How, other than causing a ruckus, we’ll see.
Obama says the court has curtailed our freedoms. Michelle is heartbroken. It is a “horrifying decision.” They’re both calling on people to join protests and give Planned Parenthood support. The Justice Dept. says it will “use every tool at our disposal to protect reproductive freedom.” It’s hard to know what that means, but the weeks ahead should give us some idea. AOC is shown with her mouth wide open, talking about “birthing people” and chanting with protesters. I guess this is supposed to let us know she thinks men can get pregnant. But sure enough, some states are announcing that abortion is illegal, as of today.
World leaders are appalled. Especially Justin Trudeau of Canada. He’s horrified and can’t imagine the fear and anger that it will cause. Even Boris Johnson is bent out of shape. Just when the whole world was seeing the light and liberalizing laws governing abortion.
It’s the second time this week they’ve seen the court rule against their beloved philosophy. First it struck down New York’s gun law. So they were already ticked. The abortion ruling though, just might drive them over the edge. The police caught a guy who said he’d come to “kill Kavanaugh.” No big deal, according to the mainstream media. Hardly worth reporting. But all bets are off as we wait to see how crazy the protesters will get. This may well justify riots and looting. Even if the rioters and looters don’t know what they’re mad about. Riot police are staging outside the Supreme Court, just in case. But not everybody is down in the dumps. Some are celebrating. Trump says to God be the glory.
What ever happened to Ukraine? It’s not in the news much lately. The last thing we heard was that we were going to send billions of dollars and more. Apparently Russia has had to call in troops that were stationed in other hot spots. Some are worried that this thing may drag on and that other countries may get involved causing an escalation that may get out of control. We hope they’re wrong.
Meanwhile UN officials are warning of food shortages. The pope is hinting at resignation. Maybe he’s done enough damage. The American economy is reeling from inflation being driven by the pretend administration’s war on oil. They want you to know there’s nothing more they can do. But at least something’s gone right today. Have a great Sabbath.
Mark
P.S. The new Feast brochures are printed and will be going out with the next letter, probably Monday or Tuesday.
