Illinois Crazy

Despite a SCOTUS hearing that would have indicated to any intellectually honest person that States, let alone an elected State Official, cannot stop Trump from being in the ballot,  Cook County Judge has just taken this crazy action. 

One "No" means Trump stays on the ballot

KEY QUESTIONS

  1. Is the Presidency a civil office?
  2. Does it preclude running for position, with the alternative being taking position?
  3. Was it an Insurrection?
  4. If an insurrection, did President take part in it?
  5. Does the President take an oath to support the Constitution?
  6. Is the President an officer of the United States?
  7. Would removal of preclusion by Congress be required before running, with the alternative being required before taking position?
  8. Can state officials or state judicial proceedings preclude an individual from a Federal position without federal law and/or federal action?

SCOTUS Bump Stocks


Supreme Court hears arguments on question of rifles with bump stocks being machine guns. 

Two key questions. 

1. What does a single function of the trigger mean?
2. Can we use our interpretation today of the intent of the law in 1934 to mean a rate of fire instead of the language of the law which requires a single function of the trigger. 

26 U.S. Code § 5845 (b) Machinegun - The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.  
Typical automatic rifle fires 15 rounds per second. With an automatic one function of the trigger results in continuous firing without any further trigger function.

A typical semiautomatic rifle fires 5 rounds per second. With a semiautomatic, one function of the trigger results in the firing of one bullet. 

A Bump Stock on a typical semiautomatic rifle files 7.5 rounds per second. With a bump stock, the mechanism along with the recoil energy of the gun allow rapid multiple functions of the trigger.

I have no problem with making bump stop illegal.

I do think the language of the law would NOT classify rifles with bump stocks as machine guns.

I think SCOTUS should not make law. 

I think Congress should refine the law to include bump stocks if they want to restrict them.

The IVF sky is not falling


The IVF sky is not falling


The recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling regarding IVF will be quickly addressed, will ultimate not threaten IVF and has nothing to do with the Dobbs decision. 


What you are hearing is the Democratic spin machine misleading America.


What the Democrats ignore is the key question: what rights, if any, does an unborn human have when, if ever?


An embryo is a group of cells that results from the repeated division of the zygote, the fertilized egg. 


In vivo, with normal development,  the embryo migrates and implants into the uterus where it further grows and develops into a fetus and then ultimately into a baby. 


Technology has developed that allows embryos to be created outside of the body. These in vitro embryos have become an important and critical component that allows some people that are not capable of conceiving to have a baby. These in vitro embryo embryos are frozen and then can be used later to implant into a uterus to lead to a baby. 


An IVF clinic in Alabama allowed an unauthorized person to access and destroy some frozen embryos. 


The couple that had provided the egg and sperm and funding to form the destroyed embryos and that had intended to use one or more of the destroyed embryos to be be implanted to lead to a baby sued the IVF clinic for wrongful death of a minor. 


Alabama’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act


Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act first enacted in 1872, allows the parents of a deceased child to bring a claim seeking punitive damage when the death of a minor child is caused by the wrongful act, omission, or negligence of any person. The Act did not define

either "child" or "minor child.


In 2011 Alabama’s Supreme Court but this Court held in Mack v. Carmack, 79 So. 3d 597 that an unborn child qualifies as a "minor child" under the Act, regardless of that child's viability or stage of development.


Last week the Alabama Supreme Court held that a frozen embryo qualifies as an unborn child.


The Governor of Alabama as well as many of the Legislators in Alabama have indicated that they do not agree with the Court’s ruling and are developing legislation to remedy the situation. 


What you are hearing from Democrats is an organized effort to mislead Americans on the issue. 


This has nothing to do with the Dobbs decision on abortion. It has to do with Alabama’s preexisting laws regarding wrongful death of a minor.


Republicans do not want to end IVF. With the exception of an extremely small number of people who believe life begins at conception, Republicans do not oppose IVF and in fact there is complete agreement by Republican leaders that IVF should not be prohibited. 


What the Democrats ignore is the key question: what, if any, rights does an unborn human have when, if ever?


The Alabama Supreme Court’s position that an in-vitro embryo is an unborn child will be modified when the Alabama legislature clarifies the law. 


Clearly there are many who highly value their in-vitro frozen embryos and/or the IVF process as a path toward pregnancy. How should their frozen embryos be valued by society and the courts.

Illinois gerrymandering ignores blacks

Illinois gerrymandering ignores blacks. Illinois does not have one majority black district.

Illinois Democrats have drawn convoluted districts, diluting black votes so that they can maintain Democratic control.

The Princeton Gerrymandering Project grades Illinois with an F. 

SCOTUS recently ruled that redistricting that dilutes black voters is not constitutional: ALLEN, ALABAMA SECRETARY OF STATE, ET AL. v.
MILLIGAN ET AL.

The most recent Illinois US representative redistricting, has extreme gerrymandering and dilution of black voters (see picture below.)

I am curious how or why the recent Alabama ruling can’t be used to support a redistricting challenge by black Republicans in Illinois?

Biden’s Ineffective Sanctions

So…I guess those “crippling“ sanctions imposed earlier to deter and stop Russia weren’t so crippling after all.  I’m sure these “devastating“ sanctions will make a big difference.

Biden's Illegal Border

The Founders had three criteria for new immigrants: their qualifications; their assimilation; and their allegiance. Today, I have no clue what Biden's criteria or goals are.

To legally immigrate into the US is almost impossible unless you are a relative (8 year wait), employer sponsored or win a very limited lottery.

No doubt there are highly capable, hard working people throughout the world that want to integrate into US society with its freedom and norms. 

Tough luck!

Biden is not enforcing the existing laws resulting in a porous border for illegal immigrants. Why does anybody think he would enforce any new laws.

Title 8, U.S. Code, sec. 1225(b)(1)(B)(IV) states: Any alien subject to the procedures under this clause shall be detained pending a final determination of credible fear of persecution and, if found not to have such a fear, until removed.

Title 8 U.S. Code, sec 1182(f): Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Biden’s border policies continue to be a mess, put many innocents at risk AND allow Mexican cartels to get rich. The latest Illegal Immigration data released show that Biden will allow almost 11 MILLION illegal immigrants into the US. And this doesn't count the "got aways," people crossing the border without being caught.
 
How is this fair to the many people throughout the world trying to legally immigrate to the USA?

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead).

Neo-Marxist Democrats Crazy

Illinois wants to prevent parents from…parenting. 

Illinois is proposing to charge parents who do not want to affirm their child’s believe that they are something other than what they are with CHILD ABUSE.

Longitudinal data collected and analyzed by public health authorities in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and England have concluded that the risk-benefit ratio of gender affirming care for youths ranges from unknown to unfavorable.

Somebody who thinks they are something other than what they are has a mental health issue. 

Affirming somebody’s mental illness is not good.

Chicago Mayor Crazy



Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - of course. All lives matter. But BLM is hurting blacks because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism today is the primary cause of the disparities today taking away agency (responsibility for one’s actions.)

If you don’t identify the problem, you cannot fix it. What societal culture in our cities leads to such behaviors( violent crime, murder, teen mothers, fatherless households?)

It cannot be whatever small amount of systemic racism that may exist today because you cannot see the problem with black immigrants  

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

The New Racism is Bad

The New Racism

There is a new book out that I highly recommend


A new racism, neoracism, has developed, based on Critical Race Theory, that espouses that people should be treated differently based on the color of their skin completely abandoning Martin Luther King‘s dream of color blindness.

Color Blindness - we should treat people equallywithout regard to race. 

Neoracism - state sanctioned racism. 

Critical Race Theory is a dangerous ideology, ignores and subverts reality today, significantly exaggerates the extent of antiblack racism in society, erodes agency, and discourages meritocratic behavior.

You don’t inherit trauma
Equal opportunity not equal outcome
Two wrongs do not make a right
Stereotyping anyone is bad

It’s not just ice cream containers

The brain shrinks as we age at an increasing rate, the older we get. What does it affect?

Frontal lobe -  processes memory, emotions, impulse control, problem-solving, social interaction, and motor function. Temporal lobe - understand words, speak, read, write, and connect words with their meanings.
