John Marty's abortion dishonesty

Saturday afternoon, Minnesota State Sen. John Marty decided to rip the mask off and show his true self about abortion. Sen. Marty decided to post this tweet, which is a lie about what would happen if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Sen. Marty tweeted "Criminalizing abortion isn't Pro-Life; It's Anti-Woman. That's why so many people are fired up; great crowd at the Bans Off Our Bodies Rally today." This is a screenshot of Sen. Marty's tweet:
If Roe is overturned by SCOTUS, state legislatures and governors in all 50 states would work together to put a bill together, pass it and have the governor sign it. There are currently 37 states with unified Democrat or Republican state government. The vast majority of those states would pass bills virtually immediately. Some states have passed laws that would go into effect if Roe is overturned. None of those laws would criminalize abortion.

This is outright dishonesty:

It's time Sen. Marty admitted that abortion isn't a constitutional right. It's a judicial creation. I know I have the right to a speedy trial because it's explicitly stated in the Sixth Amendment. I know I have the right to keep and bear arms because the Second Amendment explicitly states that I have that right. Sen. Marty can't show people where the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the other amendments explicitly state the right to an abortion.

Since Sen. Marty can't show me proof that this is a federal issue, that throws the issue to the states through the Tenth Amendment. The only way to criminalize abortion is to pass a state law criminalizing it.

Sen. Marty knows that. Instead, Sen. Marty lied to increase voter intensity in Minneapolis. With DFL voter enthusiasm running low, it's only logical for Sen. Marty to resort to this tactic.

Marty is in a safe district so his seat won't be flipped. It's Republicans' jobs to flip a bunch of suburban districts to flip the House.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
