Lawfare: Democrats Target 400 GOP Lawyers and Politicos – Any Election Attorneys left?

Criminal Charges and disbarment. LAWFARE: Will there be any Republican Lawyers Left to Ensure Election Integrity in November? While many who got too close to Hillary seemed to have their lives shortened, those close to Trump at the minimum have the loss of their law licenses on the hook, worse criminal charges and jail. How many attorneys are still out there and willing to assist in challenging the upcoming election process and result? At what price to them?

Republican candidates are being forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in defending themselves against the lawfare waged against them. And that is assuming that these Republican candidates can find lawyers to represent them. Fewer and fewer lawyers are willing to do so.

Thus, hundreds of millions of dollars that would have otherwise been raised for Republican candidates is being diverted to their defense funds. Of course, taxpayers pay for this because government lawyers are paid from your tax dollars. Dedicating so many lawyers to prosecute Republicans gives Democrat District Attorneys an alibi as to why they can’t pursue real criminals.

The Soros backed 65 project is behind much of this, who claims to be bi-partisan but no Democrat is on the list.

Influence Watch describes the group thus:

The 65 Project is a campaign targeting lawyers who aided attempts by then-President Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn the 2020 election results using advertisements, threats of disbarment, and changing rules within the American Bar Association, ostensibly to deter future similar efforts.

The 65 Project was “devised” by Democratic consultant and former Clinton administration official Melissa Moss. It is a project of Law Works, a group with no website or public financial disclosures. 1 LawWorks has previously received grants from public policy-oriented foundation Democracy Fund and is a fiscal project of the Franklin Education Forum, a nonprofit organization that provides training and support to, “advance and broaden the appeal of the progressive cause.” 2 3

With that said, this is a “first” for me. I picked up the story from “X” from a moniker Amuse – with 320K followers and runs a subscription. I had heard bits and pieces about this story, and this fellow appears to have put the thing together. I checked out a number of names here and there and so far seems on target.

Here goes… go to the link below for the whole thing.

Democrats have aggressively targeted over 400 Republican lawyers and politicians with criminal charges, civil lawsuits, and disbarment proceedings ahead of the upcoming presidential election. They have successfully jailed Peter Navarro, with Steve Bannon expected to join him shortly. In multiple states, Democrats have pursued criminal charges against dozens of Republican lawyers and politicians, including:
  • Georgia: 19 Republicans arrested and charged
  • Arizona: 18 Republicans arrested and charged
  • Michigan: 16 Republicans arrested and charged
  • Nevada: 6 Republicans arrested and charged
  • Pennsylvania & Wisconsin: Are still conducting criminal investigations into as many as 30 Republicans who have yet to be charged
In addition to these criminal trials, Democrats are pursuing numerous efforts to have Republican lawyers disbarred. The Soros-backed 65 Project has filed disbarment proceedings against more than 100 Republican lawyers, which prevent many of these lawyers from working until the proceedings are concluded.
 
In almost every case, the charges lack merit, but they have three primary impacts: a chilling effect that discourages other Republican lawyers and politicians from helping Trump, a financial drain on the resources of Republicans who might otherwise use their funds to help elect Trump, and a time drain that physically keeps them busy during the campaign.
 
This weekend, Arizona Democrats even crashed Rudy Giuliani’s 80th birthday party to serve him with a criminal indictment. One day earlier, the same Democrats arrested John Eastman, President Trump’s former attorney. His indictment and arrest are shocking because he was never involved with any litigation or hearings in Arizona and never talked to anyone there during or after the election. Additionally, he’s facing disbarment in California after a judge recommended his removal as a lawyer. (He was just disbarred.)
 
Make no mistake, the Democrats are conducting a well-funded, well-organized effort to remove as many Republicans as possible from the November election process. Their goal is to prevent Republicans from ensuring the integrity of the election and protecting the sanctity of your vote. This is a war on the 6th Amendment—everyone, including President Trump and Republican candidates, deserves the right to legal representation. Democrats are working overtime to ensure that doesn’t happen in November.
 

Why the Left’s Project 65, an attempt to destroy the careers and lives of lawyers who worked for Trump on his election challenges, is a profound assault on the rule of law.

This is from two years ago.

House Dems Plan ‘Discharge Petition’ outmaneuvering GOP on Ukraine Aid Bill

The Democrats smell blood in the water with the 3 or more Gopers who are unwilling to be counted on when the rubber meets the road for close votes such as the Mojorkas impeachment vote. The conniving Dems think they have found a way to parley this in a way to supersede Johnson and actually have Dem Leader Jeffries step in with the gavel for a vote on the Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan Aid Bill.

This brought to you by The National Catholic Reporter:

“House Democrats are prepared to use every available legislative tool to make sure we get comprehensive national security legislation over the finish line,” said Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries last week. It’s about time he unleashed the prospect of a discharge petition in the House of Representatives, forcing a vote on aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Jeffries’ words suggest the end may be coming for the miserable Hastert Rule, the unofficial governing norm implemented by former Speaker Danny Hastert that holds the speaker only brings legislation to the floor if it has majority support from his own caucus. Comprehensive immigration reform was broken on this rule, among other important pieces of legislation.

A discharge petition allows a majority of the whole House to bring legislation to the floor, and would, in this fraught moment of political polarization, remind members of Congress that they may represent a district and a party, but they serve the entire country.

What is more, it is a tool to embolden Republicans who do not want to run every vote by the Trump campaign to see if he signs off on it. Donald Trump would rather see Republicans nix aid to Ukraine so he can resume his bromance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Read more

The Discharge Petition Route is not an easy path but will they try? I bet they will. Rumors started several weeks ago that they were putting this plan in motion. It explains the Dems insistence that the bill remain a “supplemental” as opposed to a stand alone bill.

What is it with this Ukraine? There is more to it, much more and it is dark. Very dark. Just one example that is getting no attention.

BREAKING: A report by

says President Biden rejected Russian President Putin’s proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine in late 2023 and early 2024, even as Biden pushed for another $60 billion in assistance to Ukraine to attempt to defeat Russia, a defeat that is unlikely.

 
NOTE: Putin wanted to freeze the conflict as it stands but the request was turned down by the United States. NOTE: The publication reports that despite signals from Putin in 2023, both sides failed to initiate meaningful discussions as the U.S. insisted on involving Ukraine in any ceasefire talks, ultimately leading to the breakdown of the contacts.
 
NOTE: The bulk of the money does not leave the United States. It goes to the military-industrial complex.
 
NOTE: The explanation is that if you don’t enrich the complex Putin would invade NATO and your sons and daughters would fight in Europe, so it’s better to just fund the war now so that your sons and daughters are safe here in the United States.
 

The big sell by Biden. Actually the big “tell”

A man who tried to tell the truth. Exchanged the Afghan war for Ukraine.

A point of view that agrees. Majorkas we just learned thanks to a FOIA request, was the one who denied Secret Service protection for Robert Kennedy Jr. Hmmm,

POSTSCRIPT JUST IN!

Here us how our man Trump dealt with the grifter Zelensky

Finally a poison pill for Trump which insures the funding for Ukraine goes on and on without a conclusion. The Federalist story follows the tweet.

“The supplemental represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration,” Vance wrote in a letter sent to congressional Republicans on Monday. “All Republicans should oppose its passage.”

Buried within the supplemental advanced by the Senate is $13.7 billion for the Defense Department’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. As highlighted by Vance, House Democrats impeached Trump in 2019 over the latter’s decision to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine, including “$250 million through the … Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.”

Desperate to damage their primary political opponent, Democrats outlandishly claimed this constituted a “quid-pro-quo” because Trump expressed concern during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over then-candidate Joe Biden’s family’s corrupt foreign dealings in the European nation.

According to Vance, the aforementioned Ukraine funds “expire on September 30, 2025 — nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump,” meaning if the Republican president were to follow through on his pledge to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict and halt funding to Kyiv, the supplemental would provide Democrats with the opportunity to launch another bogus impeachment hoax.

Congress Dems Vote in Favor of Illegals Doing Social Security Fraud and DUI’s

Who says congress doesn’t act on any bills? The Dems were busy bees securing their progressive votes for the fall election. One wonders how can anyone think fraud and drunk drivers make for good potential citizens? Apparently 150 in one case and 155 Democrats in a other vote. How does this help any of their constituents?

Just click on the links below and scroll down a bit and you will find each of these fine folks who think its just a great idea. Its broken down by state.

Over 150 Democrats Opposed a Bill Allowing the Deportation of Non-Citizens who Commit Social Security Fraud

The majority of U.S. House Democrats opposed a bill that would prevent foreign nationals who have committed Social Security or identity fraud from entering the country, and allow those already in the country to be deported.“

155 HOUSE DEMOCRATS — 75% OF THEIR CONFERENCE — JUST VOTED AGAINST DEPORTING CRIMINAL MIGRANTS WHO COMMIT SOCIAL SECURITY FRAUD AND ROB OUR SENIORS. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!” said former Donald Trump advisor Stephen Miller on X.

How about this gem?

“With the seriousness of the crime and the potential deadly consequences, you would think that if an illegal immigrant was caught driving under the influence, they would be deported and barred from reentering the country – unfortunately, however, that is not always the case,” Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) wrote in a Thursday note previewing the bill.

H.R. 6976: Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed an offense for driving while intoxicated or impaired are inadmissible and deportable.

This bill makes driving while intoxicated or impaired a ground for (1) barring a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) from admission into the United States, or (2) deporting the individual.

The bar to admission shall apply to an individual who has been convicted of the offense or has admitted to having committed the acts which constitute the elements of the offense. As a ground for deportability, the individual must have been convicted of the offense.

Check out the Dems’ ballot for New Hampshire: 21 Prez Candidates; No Biden

How does Biden receive the electoral college votes for the state if his name isn’t even on the ballot? 21 candidates are on the Dem Primary ballot in New Hampshire. No Biden. Even better, Marianne Williamson and Congressman Dean Phillips will be on the next three primary presidential ballots. New Hampshire, the Iowa Democrat Caucus and South Carolina. Wouldn’t that be a hoot of Marianne pulled out a win?

Of course Biden could receive a write in majority of the votes in NH, but what if he doesn’t?

Sample Ballots | New Hampshire Secretary of State

A big tip of the Fedora goes to “The View from Lady Lake” for the graphic.

From the National Archives – The Electoral College.

How many electors are there? How are they distributed among the States?

The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your State has the same number of electors as it does Members in its Congressional delegation: one for each Member in the House of Representatives plus two Senators

How are my electors chosen? What are their qualifications? How do they decide who to vote for?

Each candidate running for President in your State has their own group of electors (known as a slate). The slates are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party in your State, but State laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the electors and restrictions on who the electors may vote for.

Most States have a “winner-take-all” system that awards all electors to the Presidential candidate who wins the State’s popular vote. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of “proportional representation.

Think about this.

So in essence, another one of the candidates could get more than any write in of Biden’s total and thus those electoral votes would go to that candidate I would assume.

Of course the end result if Biden does not get to the magic 270 and then the old brokered convention.

I checked the South Carolina primary election coming up on February 3. The Dems decide who is approved to be on the ballot. They too are an open primary.

February 3, 2024. Per state law, SCDP Chair Christale Spain will transmit the approved candidates to the South Carolina Election Commission:

  • President Joe Biden
  • Congressman Dean Phillips
  • Marianne Williamson
    •  
    • Iowa Caucus for the Democrats:
    • President of the United States
      • Iowa will have an estimated 46 delegates comprised of 40 pledged delegates and 6 superdelegates. Delegate allocation will be proportional.
      • The Democratic caucus will be closed, meaning only registered Democrats will be able to participate.

        Ballotpedia has identified the following noteworthy candidates seeking the Democratic nomination:

        • Joe Biden (D), incumbent president of the United States, announced he would run for re-election on April 25, 2023.[2]
        • Dean Phillips (D), a U.S. representative from Minnesota, announced his candidacy on October 26, 2023.[3]
        • Marianne Williamson (D), 2020 presidential candidate and author, announced her candidacy on February 23, 2023.[4]

How many States will actually have Biden on the ballot? Was NH a one off to have the Democrats mess with the GOP primary? NH is an open primary where anyone can vote in the GOP side.

Since Trump is really assured to be to GOP candidates in the closed primaries, what fun it would be for GOPers vote in the Democrat side in NH and SC and give it to Williamson!

While we are at it, how about the GOP ballot in New Hampshire. Looks like Trump got star billing.

Senate Dems Descend into Ruleless body as They Attack the Supreme Court.

It was a lawless day yesterday, as the Senate Judiciary descends into a ruleless body, stripping the GOP of their input on judicial nominees and more importantly moving ahead to attack the Supreme court. That didn’t take long, after yesterday’s post with Victor David Hanson  Warning: Brace Yourself For What’s Coming in 2024 – Victor Davis Hanson

Then to add icing on the cake, Dick Durbin blocked the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein.

Townhall:

Senate Democrats threw out the rules of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday in order to launch an unprecedented attack on the United States Supreme Court. More specifically, on conservative justices and their friends. 

For months Chairman Dick Durbin and Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have been trying to issue subpoenas to longtime conservative activists Leonard Leo and billionaire Harlon Crow. Leo and Crow, both private individuals, are also friends to Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. 

Earlier this month, Durbin briefly backed off his conquest to subpoena Leo and Crow. Today, he blatantly disregarded Senate process and voted to do just that. 

“Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have been destroying the Supreme Court; now they are destroying the Senate. I will not cooperate with this unlawful campaign of political retribution,” Lee released in response to the move.

This is from MSNBC and their take on the action.

A few take aways.

By completely disregarding a host of Senate rules to force an illegal vote on the subpoenas of private individuals, Dick Durbin makes Joe McCarthy look like a moderate.

And a Bonus from our fellow Durbin. Why are they blocking the flight logs of Epstein?

The best of the swamp.

Avoiding the Big Tent in politics

A house divided cannot stand. 

by Mustang

In the New King James Version of the Bible, Matthew (25) tells us, “But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.”  So, in giving credit where it is due, Abraham Lincoln didn’t offer this advice.

Naturally, politicians seized upon the idea and offered us their hope for the future: a tent big enough to accommodate everyone.  Well, that isn’t working out entirely in the way everyone expected.  Common sense tells us that no tent is large enough to accommodate.

 The Big Tent Has Collapsed - Wesleyan

Second, if a political party stands for a specific (well-advertised) set of principles, doesn’t changing those values to accommodate a larger tent population work to the party’s disadvantage?

Last, how cohesive can we be as a nation when we’ve divided ourselves into 188 different nuanced languages?

Let’s investigate.  In the entire history of the United States, it is only a recent phenomenon that any true American wanted to belong inside someone else’s tent (politically or in any other way than to eat or sleep).  Traditionally, true Americans reject collectivization.

That is, until around 1990, when it seems that many Americans crossed over into the land of stupidity.  Since then, non-traditional Americans have raised their offspring to join the Lemmings.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that this mass adoption of collectivization is a good thing.  The history of it paints a different tale.  Before you get on the bus, make sure you know where that bus is taking you.

One revelation about that direction appeared recently on the Extreme Left Weather Channel.  The queer Nazi who does their Pattern program said that he’s proud of communities around the nation who are conspiring to force people into purchasing electric cars.  You know — to save the planet.

So that cat is out of the bag, and the dimwits on the Weather Channel are not the first to release it.  Recall Barack Obama’s Science and Technology advisor, John Holdren, openly advocated for the forced abortion and sterilization of people to help reduce Earth’s human population.

No doubt, as with most other Democrats, he was speaking of black folks a la Margaret Sanger.  Honestly, one does wonder how so many black Americans support the very people who advocate for the removal of the black race through mass sterilization.  God help us!

For a long time, that large tent was the province of Democrats.  Then, the Republicans, feeling left out, wanted to enlarge their tent, too.  So then, let the games begin.  The question to ask, though, is this: do we need two political parties advocating for national suicide?

To accommodate every possible point of view, the party must be willing to relinquish one or more of their principled policies — if there are any in either party.  Accommodating the newest member of Sawdust City is not how we progress; it’s how we digress.

More to the point, with two political parties competing for which of them has the largest tent, does it occur to anyone that our society, like bacteria on a Petri dish, incessantly reproduces and divides — and doesn’t this explain the recent bizarre development of America’s sexual preference alphabet soup?  How much more is there to accommodate?

Should either party welcome a Hamas terrorist because of their unique point of view?  Seriously?  Should we make room inside the tent for every depraved sexual peccadillo?  Do rational people reach out to embrace ideas guaranteed to destroy traditional American values?

If we do that, how does the enlarged tent accommodate “normal people?”  Answer: it doesn’t.  It does accommodate the abnormal, though, and that (on both sides of the aisle) appears to be their “collective” direction.

Mr. Lincoln said, rather directly, that the nation must have it one way or the other—all or nothing.  If we must relinquish our moral values to maintain a unified house, then let the house collapse.

As for the collective direction, I’m not having it.  Are you?

VP Harris – Supporting Islam as the World Decends into Hell


Kamala Harris once more is sent on a “mission.” Worried about Muslim Dearborn voters in particular and Michigan’s electoral votes on the whole, the mission impossible is to thread the needle and keep our growing Muslim voters on the Democrat plantation.

The Biden administration faced backlash Wednesday after announcing that it would develop “the first ever US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia” in the US amid rising levels of antisemitism. The White House’s focus on combatting Islamophobia comes one day after both the arrest of a 21-year-old self-identified “Hamas fighter” in New York who allegedly threatened to kill and rape Jews at Cornell University and FBI Director Christopher Wray telling senators that antisemitism is reaching “historic levels” in the US following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Vice President Harris said in her address:

“For years, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.

“As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, Antisemitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America … For so many people in our nation, the past few days and weeks have brought about all too familiar fears. Fears that they will be targeted, profiled, or attacked simply because of who they are, how they worship, or how they look.”

“Here’s the bottom line: In America, no one should be made to fight hate alone. And in this moment, then, let us all clearly say: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us,” she added.

No need to cue up the demonstrations going on against Israel here in the U.S. and the world at large, you get it, it has become clear in interviews that the end game of all of this has not been driven home to many Americans. Islam “From the river to the sea

Kids from here understand none of it at all.

A clear eyed glance toward the Middle East and a short abbreviated history of the last half of last century reveals what woman in particular have in store for them should this Muslim agenda come to fruition.

Ask most people to paint a picture in their mind about Afghanistan and surrounding countries and the images that come to mind likely are toothless goat herders tending their goats and Poppy plants in the mountainous regions.

But many of these countries had “Golden Years” – years when one could barely tell the difference from they and western culture and countries. Fledgling Democracies.

Here is a brief look.

For a refresher, let’s take a look at part of Bunk’s posts in 2021, and partly done in 2009. 

The Forgotten: Afghan Women, Girls; the Forgotten Golden Age of Afghanistan

What about the women and children left behind? Who speaks for them? Afghanistan was once peaceful and democratic. A history when they had a Constitutional Monarchy. A fledgling democracy. That should be part of the kaleidoscope through which we view it

Now the country descends into hell. Where are all the “woke” women’s groups?  

What it was that caused many, to empathize with the barbaric actions of this vile group against women and young girls. Yet women now remain silent for the most part. Let’s review lest we forget. The world is different now with the 24 hour news cycle and internet. We see and can feel. 

While men fret about how America will look leaving the interpreters behind, little if anything is mentioned as to what will happen to the civilians/women and girls left behind. Heard is “We did what we could.” “They are tribal and have been fighting for years.” “Americans are tired of the war.” 

Afghanistan’s Golden Age: The Land Where Women’s Rights Were At Par With Western Nations | NewsMo

Afghanistan of the 50’s and 60’s looked completely unrecognizable! The land where women’s rights were at par with Western nations. Take a look at this video for more-

I went back and looked at my posts starting in 2009 regarding Afghanistan and especially the women and children under Muslim law. Strange looking back, I realize I had become indifferent through the years. After all, what have we heard about this war in the last years?

Here is what I wrote then in 2009:

And so, have we forgotten those images of the woman being murdered in a soccer field in front of thousands? Have we forgotten the oppression of the women? Have we no caring that we would turn back the clock and allow the Taliban once more to abuse them in the most hideous manner? Condemn them to Sharia Law? 

The shock of the first pictures we saw:

The Young and the Betrothed – Foreign Policy

Women of Afghanistan

You will have to watch on YouTube. 

I concluded my 2009 post with this and a certain naivete not knowing how the years would unfold.

I hear the men of war, speak of war. Let the women speak of a better time for the women of Afghanistan. Of all of the compelling reasons to sustain this war to victory, let it be the World’s humanity towards these women. They have no voice.  

Conclusion (2021): My ambivalence now. The argument can be made that the country will be turned into a cesspool of wicked terrorists groups that plot and plan against us. After all we cannot help the entire world. But do we have a moral responsibility to remain? There is a generation of young girls who have not experienced Sharia law as dished out by the Taliban thanks to the United States. Having seen the desperation it is a heart breaker. They know what the future holds. But for anyone to say our military was wasted, no. Have we been lied to by our government about numerous aspects? No doubt. What did we do? We planted the seeds of a golden age again for many, that there is another way to live. They lived that way before.  

The total desperation.

I concluded the post with a piece for the New York Times… well worth a look if you can access it.

Weep for the women we left behind. Weep for the coming storm rising.

GOP House Chairs Pick Up Where Dems Left off With Woke Agenda, Ukraine

 

So much for McCarthy and the broom that was suppose to sweep clean with his picks of new Committee Chairs. Tucker Carlson opines: “This is a middle finger in your face.” Between the House Armed Service Committee Chair and the House Financial Services Chair as picks, I will join Tucker in his position. Middle finger it is.

Too bad Michael McCall (R) of Texas chairman of House Foreign Affairs Committee has turned out to be a Swamp RINO. He wants to send tanks to Ukraine and keep the money flowing without any oversight. 

Let’s start with the Chair of the all powerful  House Financial Services Committee.  Patrick McHenry out of North Carolina.

Republican congressman Patrick McHenry (N.C.), now the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, announced earlier this month that there would be six subcommittees—and all of them will count advancing “diversity and inclusion” as one of their top priorities, according to the committee’s announcement.

Diversity and inclusion, two members of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion triumvirate now commonly referred to as DEI, have become an obsession for Democrats and left-wing activists in recent years. Republicans won a narrow majority in the midterm elections at least in part due to promises that they would end the Democrats’ DEI craze. It was a common barb from the Republican National Committee, for example, that “Democrats prioritize wokeness over solving real problems.”

  • Overseeing HUD and FHFA policies and operations
  • Identifying best practices and policies that continue to strengthen diversity and inclusion in the housing industry

Then we have Michael McCall…. 

There you have it!

Tucker had an opinion on how the GOP House is shaping up and he just added to the list of disappointments.

Now that the Senate is back after taking off the first three weeks, of course Lindsay Graham just has to be out there with his nonsense and Fox is eating it up.

The best of the swamp today.

Jerry Nadler: ‘ Taking babies to the hospital who survive the abortion procedure “endangers” the baby’

 

The Dems voted 210 against a bill to save the life of an aborted baby. Democrats said the bill would interfere with families’ medical decisions. UPDATE ADDED AT BOTTOM OF PAGE.

The respect for life is diminishing and can be seen in the latest House vote taken on saving the life of an aborted baby. No one speaks more eloquently for the evil than Representative Jerry Nadler. The U.S. birth rate has fallen by 20% since 2007. No one knows the reason. One thing is for sure, there is a lack of respect for life.

The bill does not ban abortions. It just makes sure that babies who survive abortions receive proper medical care. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of babies survive abortions every year in the United States, but protections for these infants are limited. We know babies survive. Reports from other countries prove that babies survive abortions, too, and legal protections for them are needed. In Canada, the Canadian Institute of Health Information recorded 766 late-term, live-birth abortions over a five-year period in published in 2018.

The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would require that babies who survive abortions receive the same medical attention that would be given to any other baby born at the same gestational age. The bill also would punish doctors who allow newborns to die or intentionally kill them after a failed abortion.

 

Nearly every House Democrat on Wednesday voted against legislation that would require immediate medical attention for babies who are born alive after an attempt was made to abort them.

The House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which says any infant born alive after an attempted abortion is a “legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States.” Doctors would be required to care for those infants as a “reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive.”

The bill passed 220-210, and all 210 of the “no” votes came from Democrats. Only one Democrat voted for the bill — Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas — and one other Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, voted “present.” (Source)

 

This video was produced ten years ago. It is as telling today as it was then.

But we are not done yet. The FDA on Monday chimes in with an approval method of an abortion pill that can attempt to kill off babies up to ten weeks and in the process may kill the mother as well. No Doctor needed to determine the true gestation age, but what the heck. (Skip the ad)

The very worst of the swamp this week.

Deplorables Threaten Democracy – The Dems Last Gasp

Flailing now by the Democrats as the whirlpool of the forthcoming election threatens to drown their aspirations of a destroyed America.

I had no idea how off the chart the Joy Reid interview with Hillary Clinton was. After all, I had committed to retire Hillary’s particular subject matter from appearing at Bunkerville. I simply wanted to complement an off the chart presser remark equally offensive by our favorite Press Secretary. She flails with an outrageous statement.

Included?  Hillary Clinton and Joy Reid on the “progressive” MSNBC calling for more bomb orders from Raytheon to further escalate the war in Ukraine.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discusses Brazil’s election, (Good outcome) Netanyahu’s possible comeback as Israel’s prime minister(Just elected), (Very bad) and Putin’s war against Ukraine. (Putin bad)  – link at bottom of post to a couple of minutes of her opining.

“I personally view their fight as our fight,” Clinton tells Joy Reid of the Ukrainians. “They’re fighting for democracy. They’re fighting for freedom.”

Clinton once more returns to the Deplorables who are clueless as to how important this election. Basically stupid.

This is what we ask. Accepting the results of a fair, honest & transparent election is one thing. Accepting dark of night, statistically impossible, windows covered during counting, poll watchers denied access & just enough votes found after a winner is declared – is another

 

Here we have the section on Clinton’s view of the dire consequences of the mega Maga’s agenda. The point is made then on to her further screed in the clip.

 

 

Last I heard, Biden has veto power.  I just listened to Biden’s address to the Nation. J6 of course, and setting up his DOJ to get involved in the November election process. They always accuse the GOP of doing exactly what they actually do.

 

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decries the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband and the rise of political violence from the right, while encouraging voters to use discrimination during the midterm elections. “Would we trust somebody who is stirring up these violent feelings… scapegoating, making a joke about a violent attack on Paul Pelosi?,” Clinton asks Joy Reid. “Why would you trust that person to have power over you, your family, your business, your community?”

What is this woman talking about?
