"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." — @PPFA’s Margaret Sanger

CNN’s crestfallen @SchneiderCNN: The Supreme Court has "eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion”
@SchneiderCNN CNN’s legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers gets emotional: "it’s a heartbreaking betrayal of half of the country,” suggests period-tracking apps will soon be outlawed
@SchneiderCNN MSNBC’s @chucktodd: “It is the first time in my lifetime that I can think of where a Supreme Court took away a right … you know, there really is a lot of people who believe this is a rigged court."
“The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right — it is the very opposite.” ― Pope Benedict XVI
“The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion.” ― Mother Teresa
“I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.” ― Ronald Reagan
Some select questions that reporters and politicians would ask @federalreserve’s Jerome Powell if they weren’t all economically illiterate. /1
Please explain the mechanism by which you think interest rates lower than the rate of inflation will bring down inflation? /2
How are artificially suppressed interest rates not simply a form of psychological manipulation that destroys the market’s price discovery for interest and thus stimulates excess debt? /3
As many of us warned would happen, America’s sponsorship of the Russia/Ukraine war is achieving nothing beyond tens of thousands of needless deaths, a diminishment of democracy, and a domestic inflation crisis (blame Powell, not Putin).
Had the U.S. government not cheerleaded Ukraine into war w/ Russia (first by sponsoring the Maidan revolution and then by arming Ukraine & discouraging peace talks), Ukraine would not be suffering today as it is.
BREAKING: U.S. annualized inflation just peaked 17 percent for the first time since WW2, the highest rate in 75 years.
The media are misreporting the real data, and I’ll explain why. 1/
Inflation is properly defined as an expansion of the money supply. However in the 20th century, the federal government began a series of steps to expand the money supply to facilitate more expansive federal spending 2/
(removing the gold standard, removing the gold peg, suppressing interest rates as "stimulus," printing money directly into the Treasury, etc.). All of these are inflationary, and prices rose far more in the 20th century vs. the largely deflationary 19th century. 3/
2) Media obsessively hype debunked talking point that rioters were “cop killers” who murdered Officer Sicknick with a fire extinguisher. Even today the media still claim cops were killed that day.
3) More than a year later, the media went all-in on another 1/6 rumor that likewise proved to be fake news. This one was about a “7-hour call gap” in the WH records they claimed showed Trump had somehow destroyed evidence. In reality he was on his cell.
