Biden unveils extreme heat plan – but doesn’t declare climate emergency
Hanaguma replied to Scott's topic in World News
No. But a guy with 5 houses, 2 yachts and a private jet getting all worked up over OTHER peoples' carbon footprints? -
By raft and on foot, migrants cross Rio Grande from Mexico to Texas
Hanaguma replied to Scott's topic in World News
The constant conflating of immigrants (who enter a country legally and at that country's invitation) and illegal aliens (who are criminals) makes it hard to discuss this issue properly. Nobody is against controlled immigration. People ARE against uncontrolled, unvetted, and uninvited people crashing the border. Typical California- provide services for non-citizens that legal residents have to pay for. -
Man charged with raping Ohio girl, 10, who was denied abortion
Hanaguma replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Me and my "ilk"? What does that mean precisely? If you bothered to read my previous comments, you would have been better informed. I wrote that I was glad the girl got her abortion done, and quickly. You are letting your emotions and prejudices cloud your reason. I don't know of any place where a doctor performing an abortion would be subject to the death penalty. The Ohio AG is the number one law enforcement guy in the state. He said, “Ohio’s heartbeat law has a medical emergency exception, broader than just the life of the mother,” he said. “She did not have to leave Ohio for treatment.” https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/ohio-attorney-general-said-10-year-old-rape-victim-could-have-had-abortion-in-ohio-but-state-law-isnt-clear Cards on the table time. I think abortions should be legal until the 15th week of pregnancy. Or when the mother's health is in danger. Or in cases of rape. Or in cases of severe birth defect. After 15 weeks? No, unless one of those conditions is present. Your turn. -
Uvalde report: 376 officers but ‘egregiously poor’ decisions
Hanaguma replied to Scott's topic in World News
Unfortunately, there aren't any gun laws that I know of that would have prevented this nutjob from doing the crime. That is the funny thing about criminals- they don't follow the laws that well intentioned people put in place. -

Hanaguma replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Not according to the Ohio Attorney General. But in any case, at least we can agree that the victim needed care, wherever it took place, and can be glad that she got it. I am frankly worried about the OTHER children that were living in the same household with the accused attacker. Seems like the victim's mother was quite adamant that he hadn't done anything wrong. -

The vast majority of firearms in the US are semi-automatic. Whether they are "assault rifles" or not (whatever that means) is irrelevant. Just as easy to use a handgun or two and fire off that many shots in just a couple of minutes. As for the police reaction, never has the phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" been more tragically correct. Nobody wanted to make the call, nobody wanted to jeopardize their pension. Police training has been the same for more than 20 years- in a case with an active shooter, the first police on the scene are to rush in and try to take him down withOUT waiting for backup. This is the best way to potentially save innocent lives. Yet the cops here showed utter cowardice. No wonder Americans prefer to arm themselves- who would trust their safety to clowns like these? -

And I will never take seriously the opinions of people who are two faced and hypocritical about such an important issue. It shows how seriously they actually take the subject and leaves them wide open to some well deserved mockery. -

Not attacking the doctor at all. I am saying that the headline here is misleading. The girl wasn't "denied" an abortion in Ohio from what I have read. And the top legal person in the state saying she did not have to leave the state. Not to mention the delays, denials by the family, this speaks to a larger problem. The victim's mother is pregnant with the alleged rapist's baby? You can't make this stuff up. Personally I am glad the girl got the abortion and hope she can recover fully. Also if the suspect is convicted, I pray that he has a short and violent stay among regular inmates in a state jail. HE needs to find out how it feels to be victimized. -

I will start to take the climate alarmists seriously when THEY start to practice what they preach. That means no more private jets (Kerry, Gore), no beachfront mansions (Obama), no expensive meetings in exclusive resorts with imported food and wine (big carbon footprint bringing all the goodies in). It seems that they want ordinary people to bear the brunt of any changes while maintaining their champagne socialist lifestyle. -

This case gets strangerer and strangerer. According to the Attorney General of Ohio, the girl could have had the procedure done in Ohio, no questions asked. The law permits doctors to perform abortions in cases where the pregnancy could cause injury to the woman/girl. As would obviously be the case here. The behavior of the family is also really strange. The Telemundo interview with the victim's mother was creepy, to say the least. It may go far to explain the very strange timeline of events from the assault to reporting it to now. Seemed as if the alleged rapist was in some sort of relationship with the mother, had some connection with the family, odd odd odd. https://theohiostar.com/2022/07/19/telemundo-alleged-rapist-of-10-year-old-confirmed-to-be-in-domestic-relationship-with-victims-mother/ -
With pressures mounting, Biden thinks GOP will make his midterm case for him
Hanaguma replied to Scott's topic in World News
Plenty of charities set up to take care of this. Pro abortion people can put their money where their collective mouths are. Should be no problem collecting millions from people if abortion is so popular, right? -

The people didn't know what Roe was or was not. They reacted in polls based on the media bias surrounding the subject. YET... ...if you ask actual specific questions about abortion, about what restrictions or freedoms people want to see in their state, the answers are quite different. And I think you know this, which is why you choose to ignore it. Instead, relying on generalities and platitudes and even being coy about your own beliefs on the subject. Polling shows that abortion support wanes with time. Only about 10% of people want abortion outlawed completely. Similarly, only about 20% want no restrictions. Most want restrictions after the first trimester. But that level of nuance seems difficult for some to comprehend... -

Again with the "gaslighting" thing... is that your mot du jour? I provide a simple fact, and you call it gaslighting. And your go-to source is......Slate.com? Bwahahahaha! -

Exactly! In the World of Jingthing, you are either with him or gaslighting. Deviation is not accepted. Nor are uncomfortable truths. -

That's right. Trump and the GOP are anti-gay. So anti gay in fact that they appointed the first ever openly gay cabinet member in US history! And as you know, overturning Roe did not end abortion in the US. It is still possible to get an abortion from sea to sea. It just gave the power back to the people. You ARE for democracy, aren't you? -

Since when is quoting polling data "gaslighting"? Here is more "gaslighting". The GOP is up by 8 points on the generic Congressional ballot. Doomsday for the Democrats. -

Really? According to Gallup, only 38% of women are in favour of abortion being completely unrestricted. Most agree that some limits are needed, generally setting the limit at 15 weeks or thereabouts. More critically, women see inflation and gas prices and the economy in general as more important issues. There is no "stamping on women's rights" happening at all. Unless you think most European countries also "stamp on women's rights"... -

Nice shift from your original premise there.... Joe doesn't even know not to read the actual "prompts" on a teleprompter. He is really mailing it in at this point. Mrs. Biden isn't much better, she couldn't even pronounce "bodega" at a Latino meeting in Texas. -

Like I said before, no doubt the Secretary is a sharp guy. And I agree we can judge others on the basis of what they say. Like the current occupant of the White House, for example... -

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.
