Progress report on Penny Nelson:

#pennyprogress pUpdate from the Dr.
Penny is done. It was hard. Now has a 10 hole plate and 9 screws. Graft was robust. Fingers crossed that she heals after this. I didn’t get the leg perfectly straight but considering what was going on in there I am happy enough.
Now the work begins again! She is a special one...

We are founding members of a gem of a museum in Cartersville. It is the largest western art museum in America. Several years ago, I took a group there and they enjoyed the visit and were blown away by the building, art objects/collection and display..

MEGYN KELLY

With Bill Barr, Allie Beth Stuckey and Alan Dershowitz

Megyn Kelly is joined live in studio by former Attorney General Bill Barr to talk about the egregious leak out of the Supreme Court, which signals Roe vs. Wade will be overturned, the potential criminal charges to come, the "mob" justice this could bring, what will happen to abortion in America. Then, Megyn  continues discussing the massive news about the Supreme Court with law professor Alan Dershowitz and Allie Beth Stuckey. LISTEN

Quote: "I think they should spare no effort to get to the bottom of what happened... We go to a lot of trouble in our system to insulate the court so that they can do what they think is just under the law. This means we're going to have this sort of 'street justice' played out in front of the Supreme Court when they consider controversial cases." - Former AG Barr

LISTEN

And:

"Ukraine Is Going To End Up Winning"

McMaster, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges via GoodFellows: Conversations From The Hoover Institution As the war in Ukraine passes the 70-day mark, questions abound as to whether Russia will soon escalate the brutality, how far Ukrainian forces intend to take the fight, plus the West’s long-term appetite for supplying arms and aid. Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former commanding general, US Army Europe, joins Hoover senior fellows H. R. McMaster and John Cochrane to discuss what to expect next in Eastern Europe’s war zone.

If you have been watching the news these past few days, ever since the SCOTUS event, there is not a lot I can add when it comes to the willingness of radical liberals to show their true stripes. Power is everything and if it means destroying our faith in SCOTUS' decisions so be it.  If it means intimidating and helping end free speech, so be it.  If it means rioting and bullying so they can have their way, so be it and so it goes.  

Even that pitiful excuse for a president, who was going to heal the nation, has proven what an intellectually corrupt person he is and has no regard for "we the people." That he would deign to characterize those as terrorists who seek secure borders, want fair elections, prefer America be energy independent and are frightened by inflation eroding their security, etc. is both revealing and disgusting.

And why?  All because the Constitution does not discuss abortion and SCOTUS apparently wants to allow "we the people" to have the opportunity to decide and not 9 unelected jurists. That is what Roe V Wade' overturn is all about but radical progressives jump at the opportunity to riot, create a "crisis" and do their thing. They truly fear loss of control, hate democracy and will stop at nothing.  They are very evil and thus, dangerous.

That radicals fear self-governance suggests they would prefer to embrace fascism.

Frankly, I believe all of this will backfire and eventually those involved will be outed as they should and I hope will receive the justice they deserve. 

 

We live in a dangerous and totally irrational time. Never a day seems to pass without the fabric of our society being purposely ripped.

And:

Biden WANTED Roe overturned, abortion rules returned to states

(WND) Just like a politician, Joe Biden appears to be about to get what he wanted, but still isn’t happy.

That’s after a draft decision from the U.S. Supreme Court was leaked to a reporter that would overturn Roe v. Wade and give the regulation of abortion back to individual states.

Already, about half of the nation has plans in place to put serious restrictions on the practice of killing the unborn if Roe is canceled.

So Biden, after the passage of time since his earlier demand, said Tuesday that overturning Roe now would be wrong because “I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental.”

“Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned,” he said.

Of course, basic fairness and “the stability of our law” do not need to be supported by a bad precedent, and the draft ruling from the court, which is not yet final, explains that Roe was wrong – badly wrong – from its start.

Biden also warned if Roe is rejected, “It will fall on our nations elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman’s right to choose. And it will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November.

Of course, that’s only if those voters are promoters of abortion. Those who are in the pro-life camp would not be interested in protecting a woman’s right to abort her “child,” as Biden confirmed on Tuesday.

The Gateway Pundit reported it actually was Biden who voted many years ago to overturn Roe and let states handle abortion regulation.

It was back in the 1980s, shortly after Biden first moved lock, stock and barrel into the Senate, when social conservatives pushed for a constitutional amendment to allow individual states to overturn Roe v. Wade, the report said.

“The amendment — which the National Abortion Rights Action League called ‘the most devastating attack yet on abortion rights’ — cleared a key hurdle in the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 1982. Support came not only from Republicans but from a 39-year-old, second-term Democrat: Joseph R. Biden Jr.,” the New York Times earlier reported.

The report said, “The bill never made it to the full Senate, and when it came back up the following year, Mr. Biden voted against it. His back-and-forth over abortion would become a hallmark of his political career.”

His perspective at that time, as a 30-year-old practicing Catholic – he still claims to be a Catholic even while supporting the most egregious of abortion practices – was that he found the Supreme Court had gone too far on abortion rights with Roe.

“He told an interviewer the following year that a woman shouldn’t have the ‘sole right to say what should happen to her body.’ By the time he left the vice president’s mansion in early 2017, he was a 74-year-old who argued a far different view: that government doesn’t have ‘a right to tell other people that women, they can’t control their body,’ as he put it in 2012,” the report explained.

Reports confirm that Biden’s perspective on abortion, over the years, has been erratic at best.

Ron Dermer on Israeli Independence Day: ‘From powerlessness to power’

“What does it mean to move from statelessness to sovereignty?” asks the former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Ep. 3.

Ron Dermer

(May 4, 2022 / JNS)

Israel was not established because of the Holocaust. In contrast, it is because of the modern State of Israel that there has not been another mass Jewish genocide, according to former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer.

Speaking on this week’s “Diplomatically Incorrect” podcast with JINSA’s David Makovsky, Dermer explained that Jews were “trapped in Europe” with “no voice, no refuge, no shield” during the Holocaust because Britain closed the gates to Israel and most other countries had quotas and refused too many refugees. 

“We did not have a [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky who could go around saying, ‘protect us, help us,’ ” said Dermer. “We had to beg other diplomats to make our case. That’s the big change that happened with the birth of Israel.”

The podcast was published on Wednesday evening as Israel remembered its fallen soldiers and then transitioned to Independence Day. Since the founding of the State of Israel, more than 24,000 soldiers have died fighting for the country, and there have been thousands of victims of terror. But there have been no pogroms, no massacres, no expulsions. 

“Because of the sacrifice that their son or daughter or brother or father made, Israel can live,” said Dermer. “And Israel continues to live. And it is a very powerful day—to mark it and then, of course, to celebrate Israel’s 74th year of independence.”

 

Dermer tells a story about being on a call with Israel’s head of its National Security Council and his U.S. counterpart while on the March of the Living. He was in the Majdanek death camp and stepped away from the crowd to take the call. 

“When you go to Majdanek, it looks like a Hollywood movie set. And you see the guard towers exactly as they were, you see the barracks, you know, exactly as they were—the gas chambers, the crematoria,” said Dermer. “A mound of human ash that they found [was] about two stories [in] height. … They would murder the Jews, put them into these ovens and then take the ash and put it on this mound. 

When Dermer visited the site in late April 2018, “Iran was planning to attack us from Syria. So the United States was preparing a strike … and I’m having this conversation, and it was the most surreal moment, the most powerful moment. I was staring at the ultimate symbol of Jewish powerlessness. And here I was having a conversation, as the ambassador of a sovereign Jewish state.”

He said that more than any other moment he has experienced, this one brought home the meaning of Israel.

“What does it mean to move from powerlessness to power?” said Dermer. “What does it mean to move from statelessness to sovereignty? Every year, you get a little sense of that power. It’s a precious moment for everybody who lives in Israel and everybody who cares about Israel.”
