It always comes down to Texas.
- One of the most repressive anti-abortion laws in the U.S. Supreme Court comes from Texas.
- And, now in Dallas, a fringe of the QANON waits for JFK Jr. (John-John) to return from the dead to announce that he will run with Messiah Trump in the 2024 election.
6AM – November 3, 2021
First: I have a terrible habit of bringing popcorn seeds, organic or not, into my house and cooking them in the air popper I found at Goodwill. I know I shouldn’t eat popcorn for breakfast, and I confess that sometimes that popper calls to me from a hidden cabinet in the kitchen. And, when I’m ready to toss it out, it’s begging me not to, and eventually, I comply.
Second: Ok, so today, I’ve resisted the buttered popcorn and instead turned on my other addiction YouTube to watch the news with my morning coffee. Short and brief is how I like it. This morning Rachel Maddox was in my Youtube recommended section, so I tuned in.
And Third: Friends and loved ones say I shouldn’t watch the news because it will only stress me out. But this old news gal can’t help it. She wants to know what’s going on in her world. Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised that the headline today is distressing. Rachel reports;
“Absurdity of Texas abortion law laid bare in Supreme Court arguments”
Here we go again.
Today’s hot topic is whether the Supreme Court will overturn the Texas “bounty hunter” law to round up women who dare to invoke their Constitutional Rights to choose abortion. I tried to listen to the live Supreme Court hearing the other day but, I turned it off. I couldn’t follow much of what they were saying.
Rachel raved on about how our new Solicitor General, Elizabeth Prelogar, kicked ass during the proceedings. Not long ago, the Senate confirmed Prelogar to be the top lawyer representing the federal government before the Supreme Court.
Round them up Girl!
She argued that;
“If they (Texas) can do that, then no constitutional right is safe. No constitutional decision from this Court is safe. That would be an intolerable state of arrears, and it cannot be the law. Our constitutional guarantees cannot be that fragile, And the supremacy of federal law cannot be that easily subject to manipulation.”
See what I mean about Texas—always starting trouble.
If you put it that way, the Texas law becomes more frightening than most of us imagined. In other words, if Texas decided to reinstate the Fugitive Slave Act, for example, passed by the United States Congress on September 18, 1850, Black folks would be in big trouble. Not only did the Act contribute to the growing polarization of the country over the issue of slavery, but it was also one of the factors which led to the Civil War.
“The Fugitive Slave Act was one of the most controversial elements of the 1850 compromise between Southern slave owners and heightened Northern fears of a slave power conspiracy.
It required that all escaped slaves, upon capture, be returned to the owner and that officials and citizens of free states had to cooperate. Abolitionists nicknamed it the “Bloodhound Bill,” after the dogs used to track down people fleeing from slavery.”
It’s a Double Header.
So first, you take Women’s “Constitutional Right” to have an abortion away. Next, Black people became slave fugitives. Gotta’ give it to Texas, always thinking up new ways to get back to the good ole days.
It’s no wonder that irate ultra-right conservative White parents are up in arms about teaching “true” American history in schools. We’ll get the results from this recent challenge to women’s abortion rights in a few days.
50 Years Ago.
Can we please, please move on?
Nope!
Roe v Wade has always been at stake. I was 19 years old at the time, and now I get to watch as my Granddaughter’s right to have control over her body is up on the chopping block. Again. If the Supreme Court allows Texas’s abortion law, then States’ rights could lead to another Civil War with the January 6, 2021, attempted coup to keep “The Messiah” Trump in office the practice run. That along with restriction of voting rights.
The 2021 United States Capitol attack occurred on January 6, 2021, when a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump and others attacked the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. They sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes that would formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

What is the problem?
A: What if we require all men to have the “Vasectomy Clicker” inserted at the age of viable sperm (unless we can determine they will never be able to get a female pregnant). Under my plan, they’d have no choice, and it is free.
B. When men decide they want kids and have a woman in agreement, she can turn it on. Since men in our culture have more rights than women, we’ll reserve that one for her since it’s her uterus we’re talking.
C: For women at the age they can get pregnant, we’ll insert a chip that they can easily click on or off. But, ultimately, if she wants to have a baby, she can click it on and, if not, keep it off.
All in favor?
Oh…Oh!!
