I have to begin with President Biden, who refused to condemn the intimidation threats voiced on the left against Supreme Court justices, and chose instead to cast blame on supporters of Make America Great Again.

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he said, suggesting that next, LGBTQ kids wouldn’t be allowed in classrooms with other kids.

With 61 percent of likely voters believing Biden should not run again, and a Washington Examiner poll revealing a 50 to 36 percent Trump win over Biden in 2024, one would think Biden would rethink his agenda for the next six months.

I haven’t read an opinion that the Roe v. Wade issue, if overturned, would alter the Republican’s chances of winning the House and Senate.  The economy and inflation weigh too heavily on their minds.

So, now we see that the leader of the executive branch and the legislative branch both carrying on an assault on our independent judiciary and the democracy they accuse the right of destroying.

It was Democrat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, remember, who stood on the steps of the Supreme Court when the justices considered a previous abortion case, shouting, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released a whirlwind and you will pay the price.”

Sounds like incitement to riot, or worse, to me.

The editorial board of The Washington Post, you know, the paper with the motto Democracy Dies in Darkness, published an editorial about the Court leak without a single mention of “women,” referring to them as “people,” “individuals,” and “pregnant people.”  Journalism?

With prospects for Democrats looking pretty grim in the midterms, the leak provided the “dirty tricks party” with a new distraction. They never want a crisis to go to waste. Their endeavor to use the January 6 protest against Republicans in the midterms is running out of steam.

A leftist group, calling itself “Ruth Sent Us,” after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, published a map with the home locations of the six “extremist justices,” inviting their minions to harass them, and being paid to do so. That, too, was not condemned by the White House, merely referring to peaceful protesting as a civil right.  Oddly enough, Ginsburg was not fond of Roe v Wade, having a dislike for the way it was structured.

“All this is designed to whip up anger, to mobilize a lackluster Democrat base in the runup to the fall election,” notes Kimberly A. Strassel in the Wall Street Journal. “The party sees its chance to re-engage activist groups that are demoralized over President Biden’s failure to pass a sweeping agenda.”

Disinformation from the left is again at the heart of controversy.  Democrats and their media sycophants want Americans to believe overturning Roe v. Wade is extreme, however, the draft opinion, like the Mississippi law they were considering, represents the majority view of U.S. voters.

Sixty-four percent of the people of the U.S. Mississippi’s law, calling for a 15-week abortion ban, is either the right call or too liberal on abortion.

I would have thought that companies stung by the Black Lives Matter scandal, and more recently by straying from stockholder performance to get involved in a political issue like Disney in Florida, would avoid the abortion issue, but I was wrong.

A number of woke companies – Levi-Strauss, Apple, Tesla, Amazon and Citigroup – are foolishly offering to pay for employee abortions, including travel and health care should Roe v. Wade be overturned.

Appearing on Fox, Monica Crowley wondered “if a woman decides to have a baby, does she get a bonus?  How about a woman who wants to undergo fertility treatments to have a baby, are these companies now going to pay for that as well?” She wonders if the companies see paying for an abortion less expensive than paying for maternity leave.

Meanwhile, craziness aside, the Boeing Company announced that it will move its headquarters from Chicago to the Washington DC area so that its executives would be closer to key federal officials.

Now, more than ever … may God continue to bless the United States of America.
