WASHINGTON — With abortion access already expected to be a major issue in November’s midterm elections, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham supercharged the debate over reproductive rights by introducing a bill that would ban most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy.

“I have chosen to craft legislation that I think is eminently reasonable in the eyes of the world,” the South Carolina senator said. “If we take back the House and the Senate, I can assure you we’ll have a vote,” he vowed, speaking at a Capitol Hill press conference where he was flanked by some of the nation’s most prominent anti-abortion activists, including Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. Many of those activists would like an outright ban on all abortions.

“This bill, frankly, doesn’t go far enough for many people,” said Penny Young Nance, president of Concerned Women for America. “But it is a consensus piece of legislation.”

The human sucker fish is at is again. Two things:

1: My body, my choice works on COVID vaccines but not on women's health for Republicans.
2: Letting the states decide doesn't work for Republicans actually.

The Republican candidate for governor in Wisconsin endorsed by Donald Trump is calling for people to take up “pitchforks and torches” in reaction to a story that detailed his giving to anti-abortion groups, churches and others — rhetoric that Democrats say amounts to threatening violence.

Tim Michels, who co-owns the state's largest construction company, faces Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in the battleground state. If Michels wins, he will be in position to enact a host of GOP priorities passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature leading into the 2024 presidential election. Evers has vetoed more bills than any governor in modern state history and is campaigning on his ability to serve as a check on Republicans.

Michels, a multimillionaire, this week reacted strongly to a story published by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel detailing charitable giving by he and his wife's foundation, some of which went to anti-abortion groups and churches that have taken anti-gay positions.

Since the story's publication, Michels has gone after not just Evers and Democrats, but also the Journal Sentinel and, more broadly, all reporters.

President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.

Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already volatile threat environment.

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden said Thursday night at Independence Hall, flanked by two U.S. Marines. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

Doug Mastriano is irate that he is being called an extremist.

“I’m really sick and tired of it,” the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor said in an interview last week with conservative comedian and pundit Ben Stein.

With two months until voters go to the polls, Mastriano — a 54-year-old state senator from southern Pennsylvania — is trailing state Attorney General Josh Shapiro by 7 points in the FiveThirtyEight polling average. Mastriano has fallen behind over the past month as it came to light that he had a relationship with the social media website Gab, an online incubator of antisemitism and bigotry.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck. . .

As you all know, we've been separated for, now, over two years due to COVID19 and the insanity and pathetic nature of the American green card process.

I had to leave the States and give up my potential political career in a bright blue district in Arizona because I could not be away from her anymore.

My attempt to get back to her in China was made impossible for many reasons, so we relocated to Bangkok.

I've been here since late June to get settled here and then we started on her.

It took four weeks, but I am happy to report she got her Thai visa on Friday but it wasn't issued to her until today. On September 7th, my wife will fly into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and we will finally be reunited after over two years of separation.

Added to that, our ninth anniversary is on September 12th, so we will spend our first weekend together in Phuket for our anniversary.

It's almost completely over.

When they tell us that the government and Biden sold us out to China, yet Tik Tok is a chinese app that data mines worse than any other app in the world, your information is given to the CCP, and they use it to spread Chinese propaganda.

"Republicans look poised to regain the House." The unofficial cheerleading section will dump their senate narrative almost immediately and concentrate on pushing the House to flip.

She sent me this message on my phone:



And this is in deep-red New Castle, PA area. . .The Republicans overplayed their hands if this is happening in Deep Red Lawrence County. BTW, the misspelling of smart was intention (in-joke between my mother and me).
