a note to pro-life voters:

If your 2020 vote is based on the avoidable prevention of death of innocent victims - please know that Trump's focus on "herd immunity" will => 3-7M deaths in the next year or two:

3.5 - 8x as many people will die from COVID than from abortion (2019)
Note that wide range: 3M is the low range of the estimate: remember that as COVID cases increase, hospitals will lose capacity to treat victims of car accidents, worksite injuries, psychiatric crises...
and, as more medical professionals are impacted by COVID - regardless if they become ill, die, or leave practice to protect themselves and their families - fewer available medical professionals to care for COVID patients will lead to an even steeper increase in death rates.
Also, note that - due to an almost total breakdown of the dating scene post-COVID, there will likely be a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies among single women, reducing the number of cases where abortion is used as 'birth control'
but we've already seen an initial increase in abortion rates for PLANNED pregnancies due to economic/health threats.

cbsnews.com/news/abortion-…
Abortion rates for unintended pregancies among married couples in households with vulnerable children or where the mother's life would be at increased risk will undoubtedly increase dramatically -
If your child was undergoing chemotherapy, you suddenly developed early onset preeclampsia, would you take the risk of staying in the hospital, being unable to see your child for months if they might die?

Is "trading in" a "defective" child for one with no known health risks ok?
So before you cast your ballot, please consider this: allowing Trump to put a third hand-picked Supreme Court justice in place will likely ensure any election-linked suits will be decided in his favor - and not just for a second term.
And ensuring he stays in office doesn't just pose a threat to our democracy -

it also will increase death from both COVID & the number of abortions for pregnancies that would otherwise be carried to term.

And that seems to me like something pro-life voters should care about.
*And, no - I don't think that anyone with leukemia is "defective."

Insurance companies might see it that way, but I don't.
But I certainly don't think anyone should be forced to risk sacrificing a child/spouse with preexisting health issues for a conceptual child where it isn't even guaranteed that they will survive to term.
Regardless, the pandemic changes things. For everyone.

Let's fix it first - then we can get back to finding solutions to end the need for abortion services, & fighting about the details later, to prevent millions of unnecessary deaths from destroying families in the next 2yr.

Disastroturfing (v.):

the use of feigned “grassroots” action to weaponize disasters or other instances of collective human suffering via amplification of inauthentic, polarizing messages fraudulently attributed to political opponents.
Disastroturfing is primarily initiated and sponsored by politically motivated entities, primarily aimed at deepening political divisions and enhancing partisanship -
the misrepresented ideology drives the 'otherization' of the target group by a mechanism that ultimately may instill fear in the targeted audience: 'others' may seem to pose an existential threat to one's own safety and security, should similar events arise domestically...

I am sick of hearing biased coverage re: Israel while Ukraine is almost entirely ignored.

Israel and Russia are both Mafia States engaged in state-sponsored terrorism. I don't know if Hamas is as mobby, but def. terrorists.

Those governments should ALL be treated accordingly.
That said, Israel is only 7.5M (~½ of the world's Jewish population).

Only 1/4 of those (2.4M), mostly the hard right, want Bibi to stay in power (interestingly, ~ the same % of Americans hardcore for Trump).

This clearly is not anti-Jewish sentiment. Image
I understand the sentiment of 84% of Israelis who believe the war should continue. I understand wanting to eradicate Hamas.

But I also believe that the vast majority of Israelis don't want ANY children classified as "Collateral Damage."

It's kind of weird that I haven't heard smart people like @AWeissmann_ et al focusing on how Trump defaulted on $640M in debt to Deutsche bank, THEN submitted fraudulent statements to secure future loans. Image
of course, maybe I just haven't heard it discussed...
but that - but with Deutsche execs having vowing to never lend to him again - that seems a more significant motivation to falsify statements than simply lower interest rates.

Just lost my thread about I-95 in Philly, so I'll just share these images while I decide if I should write it up again.

Something smelled off, especially because of Higgins' advice to "Know your bridges" two days prior...so I poked around and found even more stink...

familiar? ImageImageImageImage
Yup. The I-95 crash was about two blocks from THAT crematorium and adult bookstore-adjacent Four Seasons Total Landscapingwhere Rudy Giuliani held his press conference in 2020. Image
That being said, I'm not questioning the driver.

I'm wondering what TK Transport was doing transporting 8500 gallons of fuel on the interstate when they apparently have no active licensing or insurance with the government.... Image

Remember the last time someone in line for the presidency was prosecuted?

This might be more like that than you think.

When I heard female gunman at a private school, this is what that made me think I'd find.

Not to justify, whatsoever... but would be an interesting track for any interested journalists to pursue - racketeering to protect leaders sexually abusing children.

And, of course, when you put Jerry Falwell and Liberty University into the mix....

Wonder why they started up that school of their own...
