Barack Obama Blasted for Not Codifying
Roe v. Wade: 'Dem Failure'
Posted By: NorthernDog, 6/25/2022 10:19:48 AM
Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings. Obama, a Democrat who served as president from 2009 to 2017, took to Twitter on Friday in response to the Court's decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had found a woman's right to abortion was constitutionally protected. (Snip) "The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to," wrote screenwriter Thomas Cunningham.

FROMBERG — As Fromberg residents worked to clear the muck and river water from their homes Thursday, a FEMA spokesperson said people should manage their expectations about federal aid. “If you’re waiting for the federal government or somebody else to help you that help may or may not come, and I’m not sure when it will come,” FEMA spokesperson Leo Skinner said Thursday in Stillwater County. “So I always tell people, this is a tough line to tell people, ‘Take responsibility for your own disaster recovery.’” On Thursday, Gov. Greg Gianforte requested President Joe Biden activate the FEMA Individual Assistance
NEW YORK -- In response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that enshrined to the right to abortion in the United States, Mayor Eric Adams spoke about how abortion prevented his life from being derailed when he and his girlfriend accidentally got pregnant when he was 15 years old. During a press conference in front of City Hall on Friday, the mayor described his experience, called for Democrats to expand the Supreme Court and pledged New York City would provide aboritons for those who don’t have access traveling from out of state.
A recent spate of criminal activity in one of Atlanta's wealthiest enclaves has rattled residents, fueled frustration over police protection, and given oxygen to a nearly shuttered campaign seeking secession from Georgia's largest city. In the past two weeks, there have been multiple shootings and other crimes committed in the tony area of Buckhead. On Friday, a man accused of trespassing at a luxury apartment building was taken to the hospital after being shot by a maintenance worker following an argument, Atlanta police spokesman Officer Steve Avery said. The man was allegedly loitering in the building's parking deck when he

DENVER — The Denver Police Department and other law enforcement agencies have been sending out warnings to stay away from downtown if you don't like large crowds. Police have been coordinating with other agencies and organizations as three large events all take place at once. A number of plans are in place to help keep people safe and crowds under control in Denver this weekend. Denver Police say there will be a “large police presence” for the Avsgame Friday night.

Schoolteachers at an Oregon elementary school claim that eye-rolling directed at the principal is a form of aggression 'rooted in white supremacy.' BIPOC teachers at Errol Hassell Elementary school sent an email to school administrators on May 27 after hearing that their principal, Cynthia Lam Moffett, may be removed from her position, Fox News reports. BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color. "We believe that much of the resistance to Principal Moffett’s work… is a result of bias and targeted aggression. As BIPOC educators we have observed, experienced, and witnessed similar micro and macro aggressions,' the teachers said
A new front in tensions between Russia and NATO has opened up after one of the Western military alliance’s members, Lithuania, banned the transit of some goods coming from Russia to its exclave Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. Russia has vowed to retaliate over what it described as the “hostile actions” of Lithuania, warning of “serious” consequences, while NATO members have reiterated their support for the country. Here’s a brief guide to what’s going on, and why it matters as the Russia-Ukraine conflict rumbles on in the background. What’s happened? Lithuania said last week that it would ban the transit

The downtown Minneapolis Target store is making changes to the building to address safety concerns and encourage more shoppers to come inside. The hustle and bustle of downtown Minneapolis is home to Ninth Street and Nicollet Mall. “It’s a busy corner. Here’s a lot of foot traffic and buses that come through here,” said Justin Miller, who works downtown. But not everyone comes to the area to dine or shop. For the last few years, the intersection has become a magnet for crime in the city. The activity has made its way in and outside of Target. Barabra Cohns, downtown
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of state Republican Party leaders in a case nominally about a voter identification law that a lower North Carolina court previously found was passed with “racial discrimination” as a “motivating factor.” Stylized as Berger v. NC Conference of NAACP, the case was decided in favor of GOP state legislators who argued the Tarheel State’s Democratic Attorney General was not “adequately” defending North Carolina Senate Bill 824, which requires a photo ID to vote. “At the heart of this lawsuit lies a challenge to the constitutionality of a North Carolina election law,”

Politico correspondent Betsy Woodruff Swan alleged Wednesday that two Democratic lawmakers spoke candidly about how the electorate does not care about Jan. 6. During a panel discussion on "Meet the Press NOW," NBC anchor Chuck Todd cited a Quinnipiac poll that asked Americans if they thought former President Trump "truly believed there was voter fraud" in the 2020 presidential election or that he has "deliberately spread false information." (Snip) 'I don't think it does," Swan responded. "I've talked to two separate Democratic members of Congress over the last couple of weeks about January 6th, obviously can't say who, and both
ATLANTA, Ga. - Democratic candidates endorsed by gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams won their runoffs on Tuesday, while two of former President Donald Trump’s preferred contenders lost their congressional GOP bids. Abrams now has a unified ticket of down-ballot candidates to support her bid to unseat incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp on Nov. 8. Here are the results of the Democratic statewide runoffs: Lieutenant governor’s runoff Attorney Charlie Bailey defeated former congressman and Atlanta city councilor Kwanza Hall, setting up a race against GOP nominee Burt Jones this fall. Jones, who has Trump’s endorsement, won a crowded GOP primary last month.
More than 21 million paper tax returns are still waiting for processing by the Internal Revenue Service, as the tax agency struggles to swiftly disburse refunds to American households, according to a watchdog report released on Wednesday. Most taxpayers file their returns electronically, but millions of others — disproportionately the elderly — still fill out their returns manually. National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins said in her report that the IRS backlog this year is 21.3 million paper returns, 7 percent more than the 20 million that were awaiting processing at the same time last year. The report may add to the political

Renouncing His Citizenship over Roe Reversal:
‘F**k America’ 67 replies
Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong says he is lost to the U.S. forever. On Friday night he declared “f**k America” before adding he was “renouncing his citizenship” in the aftermath of the SCOTUS abortion ruling.
The landmark Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, which overturned the long-standing 1973 Roe v. Wade judgement, sparked violent public upheaval across the country over the past 72-hours, as Breitbart News reported.
Now it has met a response across the pond.
Armstrong, 50, made his personal declaration during a Friday night concert in London, letting his audience know he believes: “There’s too much f*****g stupid in the world.”

Former President Bill Clinton’s disgraced paramour, Monica Lewinsky, simply could not contain her rage after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, going on a profane Twitter rant against the justices.
Language and sexual innuendo warning on all sides for this one.
Showing an utter lack of breeding and contempt for the Supreme Court ruling as the country succumbs to violence, Lewinsky tweeted, “f*** you roberts. f*** you thomas. f*** you alito. f*** you kavanaugh. f*** you gorsuch. f** you coney barrett.” The response to her profane tirade was swift and blistering. Lewinsky was pummeled on social media.
Putin has called an obese general out of retirement to take command of forces in Ukraine after yet another round of purges of top commanders has left him 'scraping the barrel'.
The 20 stone General Pavel, 67, has been summoned from his comfortable life in the Moscow suburbs and told to don his specially-made army fatigues and go to the front lines of eastern Ukraine.
He will now take charge of Russian special forces operating in the region after the unit's former commander was seriously injured in an artillery strike.

Republican Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas, who was sworn in as a member of Congress on Tuesday, once called for the jailing of Hillary Clinton and gave her view about both the 2020 presidential election and the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
In a series of tweets first revealed by CNN's KFILE on Thursday, Flores used her personal Twitter account @LARepublicana86 to promote her conservative views and defend former President Donald Trump on the day of the Capitol attack.
"If we allow the Democrats to steal THIS election, they will steal EVERY election moving forward!" she tweeted ahead of the riot, CNN reported.

Democrats for years have been promoting the notion that Republicans are congenitally racist, regulur Bull Connors. It's the old Norman Rockwell painting of a little black girl clad in a white dress, being escorted by lawmen into a desegregating school in Mississippi, with foul racist graffiti and tomato stains on the wall behind her, that serves as their template for Republicans -- despite the fact that the people who opposed desegregation in the Deep South were Democrats.
The stereotype they pin on Republicans does not stop. It's that of the jewel-bedecked rich lady sniffing up her nose, looking down at, and brushing aside the dreaded hoi polloi
Viewers of the hit American talk show The View have demanded that Whoopi Goldberg be fired for going 'nuts' while live on air.(Photo) She said: 'Sometimes you have to be an a** to be a parent.'
The actress and comedian's language did not go down well with fans, as they took to Twitter to share their views.
Fans of the show have called for the producers to have a casting rearrangement after the popular show has faced a series of blunders recently.
On Friday Whoopi, 66, took to the panel and discussed parenting when she used the word 'a**', leaving fans shocked.
It sounds like Colin Kaepernick’s workout with the Raiders was terrible.
The Raiders worked out the former 49ers quarterback, who last played in 2016, and the decision immediately sent shockwaves through the NFL. However, it went about as bad as it could go, according to former Raiders player Warren Sapp. (Tweet) “I heard it was a disaster. I heard it was one of the worst workouts ever. I’m wondering how the hell this happened and the tape didn’t get out, right,” Sapp explained during an interview on VladTV.

The White House announced plans on Sunday to spend $200 billion on solar projects in Angola, an undersea telecommunications cable linking the Far East with France via Egypt, and nuclear power production in Romania as part of a huge G7 infrastructure plan designed to compete with China's massive Belt and Road initiative.
The proposals were unveiled on the first day of the G7 summit in Germany, where world leaders met to discuss the global economy and Russia's war in Ukraine.
In all, G7 nations will commit $600 billion to the effort over the next five years, President Joe Biden announced, calling the investment a humanitarian, economic and security concern.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed without evidence on Sunday that some U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade “lied” under oath during their confirmation hearings, which she said is “an impeachable offense.”
Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” with host Chuck Todd, who brought up how Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said that the justices had testified “under oath.”
“They lied,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed. “If we allow Supreme Court nominees to lie under, under oath and secure lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land and then issue, issue without basis
The United States—long a beacon to reproductive rights activists in Latin America—will now start to resemble those countries without Roe’s guarantee of a right to legally access abortion, say campaigners. For activists in places such as El Salvador, where abortion is entirely banned, and Venezuela, where there exists on the statute an exception to save the life of a woman though in practice is equally criminal, the decades-long success of campaigners in the US was often an inspiration. For women in Argentina, where “Green Wave” activists succeeded in their own landmark victory to secure legal abortion in late 2020, there was support from counterparts in the US
Prince William and Kate Middleton's first official joint portrait--unveiled on Thursday in Cambridge--has been panned by Britain's leading art critics, suggesting that viewers wanting to see a truer likeness would be "better off going to Madame Tussaud's." (Snip) A.N Wilson, writing for the Daily Mail, reserved his most scathing criticism for the depiction of the duchess, who is shown looking to one side wearing a glamorous green shimmer dress by indie designer The Vampire's Wife.
Trump vs. DeSantis, by the numbers
22 replies
Based on a casual reading of the polls, Donald Trump looks to have smooth sailing to the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 and the chance to erase the stink of losing to Joe Biden that he so covets. But if that’s the case, why does Trump seem so panicky these days? Simple: Trump is in trouble, and — when you dig into the numbers — his grip on the GOP nomination is getting more tenuous. It is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who has all the momentum.

I thought the Anointed One was perfect in every way? Obama didn't try to 'codify' Roe Vs. Wade because it would be an unpopular decision. At the time there were still pro- life Democrats. And besides, Dems like using abortion as a battering ram political issue. They never want the issue to go away.
