Just so you know who is in charge, the Iranian navy is now issuing warnings to Old Joe Biden’s woke, fey maritime corps. This will only increase when Joe’s handlers finally conclude their disastrous new appeasement deal with the mullahs.
“Iran briefly seizes 2 US sea drones in Red Sea amid tensions,” by Jon Gambrell, Associated Press, September 2, 2022:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s navy seized two American sea drones in the Red Sea before letting them go Friday as U.S. warships neared, officials said, in the latest maritime incident involving the Navy’s new drone fleet in the Mideast.
Iranian state television aired footage it said came from the deck of the Iranian navy’s Jamaran destroyer, where lifejacket-wearing sailors examined two Saildrone Explorers. They tossed one overboard as another warship could be seen in the distance.
Iran has no coastline along the Red Sea, a crucial international waterway lying between the Arabian Peninsula and northeastern Africa.
State TV said the Iranian navy found “several unmanned spying vessels abandoned in the international maritime routes” on Thursday.
“After two warnings to an American destroyer to prevent possible incidents, Jamaran seized the two vessels,” state TV said. “After securing the international shipping waterway, the Naval Squadron No. 84 released the vessels in a safe area.”
It added: “The U.S Navy was warned to avoid repeating similar incidents in future.”…

If any kind of naval vessel should have a self-destruct mechanism, it’s a sea drone. Having one of these things blow up in their faces might make the Iranians leave them alone. Or is self-destruct something we don’t invent until the 23rd century? Captains Kirk and Piccard kept the enemy at bay numerous times by threatening to blow up the Enterprise – and they had several 100 crew members on board. Can’t imagine people in the navy never having watched Star Trek. The current prime directive must be “If attacked, give up the ship.”

These Islamic thugs are more emboldened all the time.

I think Trump packing the supreme court with radical anti-abortion Christian judges has caused the US to move Leftward. That was a very stupid decision, because the vast majority of people (over 70% based on polls), including many Conservatives wanted to keep abortion legal. Those judges lied under oath as well, claiming Roe was precedent and they didn’t intend to change anything.
But now that they’ve “kicked it to the states” and many states have banned abortions, even in cases of rape and incest, this will lead to an electoral backlash. So the trouble is that the West is facing a very dangerous enemy (Islam) but has put in power the most weak, cowardly and traitorous leaders one could imagine.
I suspect the Democrats will get at least 2 terms because of that abortion debacle and who knows either Israel will be forced to bomb Iran or even worse, nobody does anything until we start seeing mushroom clouds over western cities.
At this time in history with all these dangerous enemies you need right-wing parties in power, because the Left have proven over and over again, they’re incompetent (and corrupt) when it comes to dealing with issues of warfare and global politics.

The Supreme Court would have left Roe v. Wade in place if the Dobbs case had not been filed. Mississippi passed a law banning abortion after 15 weeks of gestation. That was not long enough for the Left so they went to court. A Conservative President is going to appoint Conservative judges (usually). If the American people want access to abortion all the way up to the moment of birth, they can vote for representatives in Congress who will pass a law which defines the time when protection under the laws of the United States begins. If a person does not become a person who is considered a citizen of the U.S. until being born in the United States (and the word “born” would also have to be defined) I don’t see why abortion would be considered illegal. The people can still decide on abortion in my opinion – on both the state and the federal level if they want. Whether any judges on the court lied is a matter of opinion also. People changing their mind about things is not unusual – and I think a person should have the right to do so.

If a person could not have a change of mind…or heart…no one would ever regret having done a wrong thing to another.
And personally, I don’t believe any of them lied. the senators always tried to cause them to admit that they would overturn a wrong decision because the senators knew it was a wrong decision, and they wanted to be able to Bork the nominees.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:13-14
The child in the womb is an innocent victim, and should not, under any circumstances, be sacrificed on the altar of convenience.

Fitna–with all respect–there was already a radical Left moving further to the Left since long before the recent Supreme court ruling on Roe. That has certainly been the case here in California.
