Alito lied regarding his findings on abortion, in Dobbs, according to Sabrina Haake: Alitoâs sleight of hand used selective misrepresentations of ancient common law history to overturn 50 years of Constitutional protection for reproductive choice. He determined that legal abortion did not exist at common law, despite his own passages detailing how âabortion was a crime after âquickeningâ (around 25 weeks) throughout common law. Pages 16 through 28 of Alitoâs own opinion describe how abortion was legal up to 25 weeks, for centuries, so when Alito said there was no abortion throughout centuries of common law, he was lying to reach his preferred outcome.
Jesus said “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” (Matthew 7:1) So who am I to judge this overstuffed dummy? Well, aren’t elections very much about judging the suitability of candidates? BUT, since I have little personal knowledge of the candidate, I will leave it to highly-qualified leaders who have an actual basis for their severe judgement. (And I remind you that Trump said “I am your retribution” â getting even is so telling, making him, and many who support him, decidedly unChristian. âLook in the mirror. ‘Dat you with a stick in your eye? Let’s see!) Note: Jesus also said “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (John 7:24) SO, what does that that looks like, up close? â
BUT FIRST, let’s remember that “We the people” have a jury system as a check against injustice, intended to help us reflect Divine judgement. And a jury of 12 brave, upstanding New Yorkers â fairly chosen in court by “both sides” â have risked their lives to find a former president guilty of 34 counts of fraud intended to rig a federal election! (Getting 12 New Yorkers to agree about anything is rare.)Â Â Â THE MATH:Â
100% agreement ! Â 34 x 12 = 408
JUDGEMENT :Â Â PROVEN LEADERS WHO SAW “DJT” UP CLOSE
“Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has said that President Trump âis the most flawed personâ heâs ever known, CNN reported. âThe depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though itâs more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,â Kelly has told friends, the outlet reported. ~ TheHill
âDonald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American peopleâdoes not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,â Mattis writes. âWe are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.â ~General James Mattis, in The Atlantic.

A FEW RECENT TRUMP LIES (with factual corrections from NYTimes):
Atkinson, N.H., rally, Jan. 16, 2024
“While Joe Biden is pushing the largest tax hike in American history â you know, he wants to quadruple your taxes.”
President Biden has not proposed quadrupling taxes. In fact, he has consistently vowed not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000.
Sean Hannity interview, Jan. 22, 2024
“I mean, what heâs doing with energy with an all-electric mandate, where you wonât be able to buy any other form of car in a very short period of time.”
Mr. Biden has not implemented an electric car mandate. The administration has announced rules that would limit tailpipe emissions from cars and light trucks, effectively requiring automakers to sell more electric vehicles and hybrids. It doesnât ban gas cars.
Newsmax interview, Jan. 21, 2024
“And think of it, for four years we had no terror problem.”
There were in fact terrorist attacks in the United States during the Trump administration. In 2017, to name one, a native of Uzbekistan plowed a pickup truck down a bike path in Manhattan, killing eight people. The Justice Department said the driver, Sayfullo Saipov, carried out the terrorist attack in the name of ISIS.

QUOTE from famous early 20th-century journalist H.L.Mencken, on the presidency: âAs democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people âŚ. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heartâs desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.â
