Instead of protecting the Constitution, specifically the 9th Amendment, the current SCOTUS is instead denying and disparaging the basic rights of all those people who can get pregnant.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

SCOTUS is either blind or bought off … or both.

Hungry, thirsty and humiliated: Israel's mass arrest campaign sows fear in northern Gaza (apnews.com)

“We were treated like cattle, they even wrote numbers on our hands,” said Ibrahim Lubbad, a 30-year-old computer engineer arrested in Beit Lahiya on Dec. 7 with a dozen other family members and held overnight. “We could feel their hatred.”

History just repeating itself in some dystopian, non-linear way.

Because linear would suppose that someone, somewhere would recognize the link between the Holocaust numbering and Israel’s current stupidity.

Obviously that is not the case.

My first step-mother miscarried my half brother’s twin (without knowing she was even pregnant let alone with twins), and the only reason she knew to dig it out of the toilet to be tested was because she was a nurse.

Expecting a traumatized non-medically trained woman to know the same is stupid at best.

All true. But this was almost 50 years ago and in Canada.

Although our politicians have swallowed the same cold fruit drink your’s have, we can still count on universal healthcare (and soon universal dental care) to keep us out of that kind of medical debt.

Black bears in Lake Tahoe were verified to be awake during winter almost 7 years ago (due to climate change), and it’s only gotten warmer since. Source

A February visit to the Pine Nut Mountains of northwestern Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, provided a preview of what could lie ahead. The previous fall, regional temperatures were as much as 4.7 degrees Celsius (8.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the 20th century average. In January temperatures were 5.4 degrees Celsius warmer.

Ordinarily Rae Wynn-Grant, a large-carnivore ecologist based at the American Museum of Natural History, would be spying on Pine Nut’s sleeping bears to better understand how they choose where to hibernate. But when she checked GPS signals from two bears that had been collared by the Nevada Department of Wildlife, the bears were moving — they were awake. That meant it was too dangerous to try to observe them up close. So on this outing Dr. Wynn-Grant was looking for sites where bears could have hibernated if they had gone to bed.

“Over the years we’ve had reports of bears hibernating under people’s decks and in their garages and stuff, so we would have to wake them up in order to get them out,” Dr. Wynn-Grant said. “But until this year, I had never known about awake bears.”

Edit – And there’s this as well in the same area.

A bear was euthanized in Northern California over the weekend, after attacking a man who shot the animal as it engaged in a “standoff with his dog,” authorities said. The incident happened in Calpine, a rural community near Reno that sits on the edge of the Tahoe National Forest in California’s black bear country.

America’s blind adherence to insanity just goes on and on and on.

girlfreddy OP ,

I used the word “insanity” as a play on the adage … The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

It just seems to me that’s what America has been doing for years now in regards to Israel’s zionist gov’t.

Destructive solar events have affected Starlink before. In February last year, SpaceX said it lost 40 new satellites shortly after launch because of an electromagnetic storm. When accounting for the rocket launch, it potentially cost the company about $100 million in damages.

Voting rights groups push for answers from Mississippi election officials about ballot shortages (apnews.com)

The coalition of statewide and national civil rights organizations has requested meetings and more details about why Hinds County Election Commissioners ordered the wrong ballots

How in the fuck does an election commission order the wrong ballots??? The dumbfuckery in that is just astronomical!

edit – this is what happened Source

Hinds County election officials said confusion arose at split precincts where multiple ballot styles are used. A split precinct is a polling location where voters from two different districts go to vote.

Ratoya Gilmer McGee, Hinds County’s election commissioner for District 2, was up for reelection as was District 4 Election Commissioner Yvonne Horton.

“For example, the precinct that me and Mrs. Horton use is Raymond 1. I would have needed 300 ballots for my specific style that would help me on the ballot as commissioner. Horton would have needed over 1,000 for her ballot style,” McGee said at a press conference Thursday. “Those numbers were reversed. She got 300 and I got 1,000, so that created a shortage.”

Some precincts could have up to four or five different ballot styles, according to Hinds County Election Commissioner Shirley Varnado, who represents District 5.

girlfreddy , (edited )

It doesn’t seem so. The article clearly states that because of redistricting, more areas had split-style ballots and not enough people were trained on which style of ballot should be ordered.

Tbf a fair portion of this is on lack of communication from the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office and the utter stupidity of “needing” multiple different ballots in 9 polling stations.

girlfreddy ,

There are different styles because each district has some added things to vote on (other than their reps).

Voters weren’t disenfranchised over the style of the ballots. It was because some had to wait over 3 hours for the proper ballots to be delivered to the polling station.

You assume that someone taught him right from wrong. Seeing as his parents are also being charged that is not a given.

Managers had confronted employees as they handed out union materials in a parking lot outside the building, checking the same workers’ identification multiple times and alleging that tables set up in the entrance pathway amounted to insubordination, a serious charge that could lead to termination, according to worker testimony and video reviewed by ABC News.

The tables violated company policy because they obstructed people entering and exiting the facility, Amazon managers told the workers, the video shows. The workers objected to the claim, saying that their efforts qualified as union activity protected by federal labor law.

Workers kept tabling in support of the union on this occasion and others. Within two weeks, 11 workers had received write-ups telling them that they could lose their jobs if they didn’t stop.

Companies who flagrantly ignore and/or break the law should be fined an amount that equals their net income for that time period … cause that’s the only thing they’ll pay attention to.

The likelyhood that woman will find anyone to hire her is slim as the first thing many employers do is google your name.

And if you’d worked in the industry at all you’d know people rarely get hired to handle cash as an entry position. She’d probably be in the back doing prep/clean-up.

And why could that hallway not be covered by a regular security cam instead?
