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.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
