Joachim Hagopian, Exposed, Bribed and Blackmailed Biden to be Banished

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian Respected journalist Mike Whitney’s January 12th Unz Review article title asks “Is Biden is being blackmailed to send US combat troops to Ukraine?” Why even ponder such pretense, when all the facts for years have proven that he is. We already know he is, so there’s no sense beating around the Bush anymore. Joe Biden has spent the last half century entrenched in corrosive corruption of the federal government, infested in perversion and blackmail control for far too many decades. On virtually all-important issues, Biden’s been a turnstile flip flopping more…

Supreme Court Has Decided to Overturn Roe v. Wade, Leaked Opinion Suggests

Wade, the seminal precedent that in 1973 wrested the regulation of abortion from the states and made the procedure lawful throughout the entire United States.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Lone Star State’s abortion ban to stay in effect. (Providers can still challenge the law in court.) The decision so “outraged” California Gov. Gavin Newsom that he announced plans to use Texas’ legal mechanism for a ban on assault-style weapons. Newsom, a Democrat, said if Texas can “endanger lives” through its abortion ban, then California should be allowed to ban “deadly weapons of war and save lives.” “If…

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, No.19-1392 on the docket of the United States Supreme Court

James Fetzerblog

John Remington Graham [Editor’s note: During my 35 years offering courses logic, critical thinking and scientific reasoning, my students and I engaged in endless debates about abortion, where I was simply astounded at how much more they knew about birth control and the varied circumstances under which a woman might find it inadvisable to bring a new member into her family. My own opinion is that Roe v. Wade has been among the wisest decisions ever rendered by the United States Supreme Court, where it predicates that the first “right…
