RIGHT TO CHOOSE

The latest Supreme Court decision about ABORTION did make make abortion UNCONSTITUTIONAL...  it simply stated that abortion was not an issue of the Constitution, therefore, the federal government should not be the agency to support or deny abortion...  so, it now becomes the decision of each State and their elected leadership.


In other words, ABORTION is still legal, but it is up to each State to decided if it should be allowed within their borders...


EVERYONE went APE SHIT over the Supreme Courts decision because they were given the impression that abortions were no longer legal and either these people are stupid, not really listening, do not understand the law, or were told incorrect information.


if one state says NO you cannot get an abortion here, then the person seeking an abortion goes to a nearby State...   problem solved...


I was raised in a Christian family and our parents (for lack of a better word) forced us to go to Sunday School and Church every Sunday unless we were too sick to get out of bed, including when we were on vacation.  Although, we did not have to go to Sunday School on vacation...


I have Christian DOGMA seared into my mind...   


HOWEVER, I think a woman HAS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT  to be able to decide for herself (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) whether or not she can get an abortion.  The government should not be able to tell her what she can or cannot do to her body...


Americans can decide if they want to enlist in the military

Americans can decide if they want to smoke cigarettes

Americans can decide if they want to drink alcohol

Americans can decide if they want to eat too much

Americans can decide if they want to exercise

Americans can decide if they want to break the law


IT IS YOUR BODY   >>>   YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO OR NOT DO TO IT   >>>

World Economic Forum - Davos 2023


Trade, tech and tackling the climate crisis were just some of the topics under discussion this week in Davos.  We've also heard from global leaders on Ukraine, the economy and health.  Here's a snapshot of what you might have missed this week at Davos 2023.

That's it for our 53rd Annual Meeting in Davos. We've covered a huge range of topics and themes at a difficult time for the global community as it faces a series of interlinked crises - as this year's Global Risks Report explained, a polycrisis.


It's against this backdrop that leaders met under the theme 'Cooperation in a Fragmented World'. And this call for cooperation echoed across speakers, sessions and topics.


As World Economic Forum President Børge Brende told us in his closing remarks, "In an uncertain and challenging time, one thing is clear. We can shape a more resilient, sustainable and equitable future, but the only way to do so is together."

Call for unity and collaboration
"There are no perfect solutions in a perfect storm," António Guterres stressed on Wednesday. "But we can work to control the damage and seize opportunities.  Now more than ever, it’s time to forge the pathways to cooperation in our fragmented world."  

The scale of the challenge, the sense of urgency, and the importance of collaboration was a thread that linked all the discussions this week, whether on Ukraine, the climate crises, supply chains, technology and innovation, health, the economy and so much more.

Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Ukraine urged world leaders to use their influence to bring an end to Russian aggression. She also stressed the ongoing human impact of the war.

Her husband, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, addressed Davos via video link. He also called for decisive action from world leaders, following a minute's silence after the helicopter crash earlier that day.  READ MORE...

Woman Sets Record in Antartica Alone


A British Army officer has broken the world record for the longest solo and unsupported polar expedition by a woman.  Preet Chandi (ABOVE), known as Polar Preet, first made history trekking to the South Pole in 2021.

The 33-year-old has so far travelled 868 miles (1,397 km) across Antarctica in temperatures as cold as -50C (-58F).  The previous female record was 858 miles (1,381 km), skied by Anja Blacha in 2020.

However, Capt Chandi, from Sinfin in Derby, did not complete her original aim of becoming the first woman to cross Antarctica solo and unsupported.

She set off from Hercules Inlet in November and hoped to reach Reedy Glacier within 75 days.  An online blog, which she has kept along the way, was last updated on Thursday.

She reported being about 30 nautical miles away from her pick-up point.  READ MORE...

What's Coming

12% of our population is BLACK

60% of our population is WHITE, non Hispanic
 

What does that tell you?

ONLY 12 out of every 100 Americans are BLACK...

AND YET...  these 12% are pretty much telling the rest of the Americans living in the USA how they should live and more specifically, how their children should be taught in public schools K-12.

I DON"T THINK SO...

As they say in TN "That dog don't hunt..."

I'm not opposed to blacks...  and, I am not opposed to blacks dating white...  nor am I opposed the interracial marriages...  as all of that is a choice to which people are entitled.

What I am opposed to, is a minority telling the majority how they are going to live or how they are not going to live...

That ain't how it works.

At least not in this country...   and, while the blacks seem to be in control of these sorts of things right now, the remaining 60% in the near future is going to get a little to a lot pissed off and start fighting back.

We have already seen this with mothers who are opposed to CRT training in elementary schools.

The blacks are putting this country into a position where there could soon be a racial war.

Robot Snake in our Future


A robot that imitates the flexibility of a snake could be used in cancer surgery within 10 years, experts say.  The remote-controlled robot, called COBRA, has previously been used in jet engineering and nuclear plants.

The University of Nottingham, which developed the robot, has secured funding to make the robot the first of its kind in the UK.  Prof Dragos Axinte (ABOVE) said: "We have started early tests to see if the robot can... perform surgical procedures."

The researchers, who are collaborating with Rolls-Royce, said they had secured funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to adapt COBRA for use in surgery - specifically throat cancer and injury surgery.

They said that while such medical procedures were currently performed with endoscopic tools, COBRA could offer more dexterity, accuracy, and high-definition views for surgical teams.

It has been used as part of a preliminary study at a hospital in Leicester.  READ MORE...
