DARK AGES: SUPREME COURT OVERTURNING ABORTION RIGHTS
The Supreme Court is poised to strike down the Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey cases that have guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion in most cases over the past several decades. A draft opinion from the majority in the court got leaked to Politico, making the public aware of SCOTUS’s intentions several weeks before the official ruling. Writing on behalf of the majority, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.” Of course, the ruling is not yet official and it’s conceivable that one of the conservatives justices could change their minds in the next month or two. However, given how right wing Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are, that’s highly unlikely to be the case.
Putin Very Sick, Cancer Surgery, Turning Over Control
A report in the New York Post says that Russian President Vladimir Putin is sick and awaiting cancer surgery. This comes a day after a report surfaced from the British tabloid The Sun which claims that Putin has cancer and Parkinson’s disease. While neither the New York Post nor The Sun are the most credible news outlets, there is now a trend pointing in the direction that this is an accurate scoop. The New York Post wrote about this, “Putin will transfer control of Russia’s government to Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Russian federal police’s Security Council, while he is incapacitated during and after the [cancer] procedure.” If these reports are indeed accurate, it would explain why Putin has been behaving so irrationally with regard to his invasion of Ukraine. The Russian president may realize his time is limited and could be trying to solidify his legacy by taking over a neighboring country he thinks should be part of his own.

Oklahoma Follows Texas, Passes Abortion Ban
Oklahoma has passed a six-week abortion ban following the model of a law passed in Texas last year. The state making the procedure illegal after merely six weeks is effectively an outright abortion ban, since many women don’t even know they’re expecting six weeks into a pregnancy. Oklahoma will also have the civil enforcement provisions that Texas has, meaning anyone who helps a woman get an abortion in the state can be sued for damages. Certainly this law is a violation of Roe vs. Wade which guarantees the right to an abortion in most cases. However with the Supreme Court poised to overturn the Roe decision in the next few weeks, this law in Oklahoma will likely be able to stay in place. Lawmakers in the Sooner State will probably follow up thereafter and pass a law outright banning the procedure.

Mike Pillow Spending 18 Hours/Day on Trump, Banned from Twitter in 3 Hours
Mike Lindell showed up at Donald Trump’s rally in Nebraska on Sunday and told Right Side Broadcasting that he’s working 18 hours a day on overturning the 2020 election. The RSB “reporter” asked the MyPillow guy how his life has changed since taking on Dominion Voting Systems and trying to hand Trump the election he lost. Lindell said, “it’s 18 hours a day where, you know, I miss my grandkids. I miss my family, you know, and my niece and nephews. I got to take advantage when I can but I’m so into family. I’m pulled away from my home state of Minnesota.” Perhaps Lindell is exaggerating about how much he’s actually working on this overturning the 2020 election effort. But the pillow tycoon does appear at every Trump rally and has poured millions of dollars of his own money into this, showing that he’s certainly more committed to this futile cause than anyone else.
