Pro-abortion protesters target Justice Amy Coney Barrett's home
[NYPOST] A group of pro-child sacrifice abortion protesters gathered outside conservative Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Virginia home Thursday evening, chanting expletives and waving signs reading "Liar."

Roughly 20 people were seen marching outside the judge’s Falls Church home, crying "F— you, Barrett."

The angry crowd also clutched signs reading, "Keep your rosaries off my ovaries," "Reproductive Rights are Human Rights," "Impeach Expand Codify," and "Liar" with a photo of Barrett printed underneath.

Many of the demonstrators appeared to be with the activist group Our Rights DC, which has organized several protests outside the homes of the six conservative justices who voted in favor of overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.

Following the decision — which returns the issue of child sacrifice abortion to each of the 50 states — a number of states implemented so-called "trigger laws" that banned or restricted child sacrifice abortion with immediate effect.

#1  Remember,
The Democrat Party were the openly proud champions of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and conducted many, many other racist acts between 1860 – 1972.

These Liberal Socialist Democrats are now protesting for the right to continue killing massive numbers of Black-Americans. A tactic, which so far has resulted in the elimination of well over 14/-+ Million Black American babies since 1973.

Abortion, is the #1 killer in Black-American community.

More Black-Americans are killed in 6 days of Black-American performed abortions than all the lynchings between
1860-and 1968.

More Black-Americans are killed in 1 day of Black-American performed abortions, than ALL police shootings
that were ruled unjustified in the last 40+/- years.

Put in more simple, direct words.
The Democrat Party elite have hit on a new way to reduce and control the Black-American Population, while even having 90+% of the Black Community electing and supporting them in doing so.

A question I keep asking:
How does any Christian Faith Reverend/Preacher join, follow and promote the Democrat Party’s Immoral Agenda
and still claim to be a man of GOD?

#3  Democrats must already have enough names of dead people so they don't need any more live people to vote for them.

#4  Blacks are brainwashed into believing they are entitled to food stamps and a small monthly stipend from Biden. Even though he doesn't need their votes anymore because his election fraud army is deeply engrained in the election process every four years.

I know two black business men who do not fit that mindset. They are business men who work hard and take risks. One makes approximately $3,000.00 a week. The other makes $300,000.00 a year. LEGIT businesses.

NYC needs to examine 'if' error made returning slain girl Julissia Batties to mom: Adams
We know the answer is yes. Why doesn’t he? Maybe next time New Tork City will vote for a real law’n’order Republican instead of the fake they chose last time.
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday said the city needs to examine "if" the Administration for Children’s Services failed little Julissia Batties — who was allegedly murdered by her mother just after being placed back in her care.

The mayor was asked to respond to claims by the girl’s grief-stricken dad that "the system failed her" — referring to ACS deciding to return Julissia, 7, to her mom Navasia Jones less than two months before she was found beaten to death in August 2021.

"We have to really examine exactly if there was a failure," Adams said at an unrelated presser.

"Anytime we have cases like this we are in a constant state of analyzing how could we do something better," he continued, "and so I don’t know if I support what the dad is saying around that."

The slain girl’s dad, Julius Batties, shot back that the mayor needs to "do his homework."

"All of this is black and white," Batties told The Post. "Go look at the records then come back to me.

"You all work for the city and ACS is run by the city," he said. "It’s a shame on the city and worse shame on the mayor to say that. He should do his homework before he speaks and judge the situation when he doesn’t know what he is talking about."

The tragic youngster was the subject of a heated custody battle for nearly all of her life. Her paternal grandmother, Yolanda Davis, was temporarily granted custody of Julissia after she was born, and previously has told The Post she "begged" ACS not to send the girl back to her mother.

Jones — who was charged with murder and manslaughter Wednesday — had lost custody of the girl at birth, along with her four sons, due to alleged negligence and physical abuse.

New Zealand designates US far-right group Proud Boys a terrorist organization
[IsraelTimes] Despite not being active in the country, Wellington cites group’s role in Jan. 6 insurrection, as country has become more attuned to threats following Christchurch massacre.

New Zealand’s government has declared that American far-right groups the Proud Boys and The Base are terrorist organizations.

The two groups join 18 others, including the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, that have been given an official terrorist designation, making it illegal in New Zealand to fund, recruit or participate in the groups, and obligating authorities to take action against them.

The US groups are not known to be active in New Zealand, although the South Pacific nation has become more attuned to threats from the far right after a white supremacist shot and killed 51 Moslem worshippers at two Christchurch mosques in 2019.

The New Zealand massacre inspired other white supremacists around the world, including a white gunman who killed 10 Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in May.

In the US, the State Department only lists foreign groups as terrorist entities. But the Proud Boys were last year named a terrorist group in Canada, while The Base has previously been declared a terrorist group in Britannia, Canada and Australia.

In a 29-page explanation of the Proud Boys designation published Thursday, New Zealand authorities said the group’s involvement in the violent mostly peaceful attack on the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021, amounted to an act of terrorism.

The statement said that while several militia groups were involved, it was the Proud Boys who incited crowds, coordinated attacks on law enforcement officers and led other rioters to where they could break into the building.

The statement said there are unlinked but ideologically affiliated chapters of the Proud Boys operating in Canada and Australia.

New Zealand authorities argued that before the Capitol attack, the Proud Boys had a history of using street rallies and social media to intimidate opponents and recruit young men through demonstrations of violence. It said the group had put up various smoke screens to hide its extremism.

Earlier this month, the former leader of the Proud Boys, Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, and four others linked to the group were charged in the US with seditious conspiracy for what federal prosecutors say was a coordinated attack on the Capitol.

The indictment alleges that the Proud Boys conspired to forcibly oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power. The five are scheduled to stand trial in August in Washington, DC’s federal court.

Biden mixes up Switzerland, Sweden, jokes he's 'anxious' about NATO growth
[NYPOST] Well, they do start with the same letter …
Bleh. Ever heard a Swede try to yodel?
President Biden announced Thursday that he had called the leader of Switzerland to discuss abandoning two centuries of neutrality to join NATO — before quickly correcting himself to say he actually meant Sweden.

“Some of the American press will remember when I got a phone call from the leader of Finland saying could he come and see me, then he came the next day and said, ‘Will you support my joining — my country joining NATO?’ We got the telephone. He suggested we call the leader of Switzerland,” Biden said.

The president immediately fixed his mistake, adding, “Switzerland, my goodness, I’m getting really anxious here about expanding NATO — of Sweden.”

Biden was speaking at a press conference in Madrid following a NATO summit at which Finland and Sweden were officially invited to join the military alliance in response to the more than four-month-old Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Sweden had been neutral in Europe’s various military engagements since the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s, during which it had lost control of Finland to Russia.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Warning Biden Over EPA Rule That Could Send Gas Prices Even Higher
[MSN] Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is asking the Biden administration to halt a plan he said would jeopardize a significant portion of the nation's oil production and increase gas prices even more.

In a letter sent to Biden on Monday, Abbott, a Republican, cited the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) plan to impose a discretionary re-designation of the Permian Basin, which is located in Texas and New Mexico, and accounts for 40% of all oil produced in the U.S.

"While you express concern about out-of-control gas prices, your Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is threatening to increase them even further," the letter said. "The EPA’s process could interfere in the production of oil in Texas which could lead to skyrocketing prices at the pump by reducing production, increase the cost of that production, or do both. Your administration's announced action is completely discretionary. Thus, you have the power to stop it."

The EPA recently announced plans to tighten air quality standards at the basin, a move that could result in "draconian regulations," Abbott said.

"EPA is now considering a discretionary redesignation for (portions of) these counties in New Mexico and Texas for the 2015 ozone NAAQS under Clean Air Act section 107(d)(3) based on current monitoring data and other air quality factors," the Biden administration wrote. "If the area is redesignated to nonattainment, the state(s) will be required to submit a State Implementation Plan to bring the area into attainment with the 2015 ozone NAAQS."

The basin is responsible for 5.2 million barrels of oil per day, which can be processed into about 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline each day, Abbott said.

"If you let the EPA move forward with the untimely and unnecessary measures that accompany redesignation, that action will put at risk 25 percent of American oil supply," the letter said. "That, in turn, could substantially increase the cost of gasoline."

He said he wants a response by July 29. If the EPA moves forward, Texas will take action to protect oil production and "the gasoline that comes from it," the governor said.

Um - didn't SCOTUS just strike this exact type of thing down (EPA's creative interpretations of the Clean Air Act)? They no longer have the authority to do this.
