THE GOOD GUYS
One takes a wild guess here that the shooter was male; and armed for specifically said occurrence when a “good guy with a gun” was needed. Domestic violence targets will attest to the benignity of such characters until they’re not.

When Biden warned against violence after the Supreme Court ruling about Roe v. Wade, I said to my husband, “they’re women……there won’t be violence”. This was a white-brush statement and some women are violent, but not that many. But violence did occur. A male politician punched a female politician. And so it goes. The black female who was punched seems to have been so mistreated after expressing support for Choice. And so the attack can’t be investigated as a hate crime, because she was punched due to female status rather than race. Welcome to the world of women…….and to use the phrase coined by misogynistic Democratic campaign strategists, “especially white women”.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jennifer-rourke-jeann-lugo-rhode-island-officer-suspended-for-allegedly-punching-state-senate-candidate/ –Democratic state Senate candidate Jennifer Rourke, the chairwoman of the Rhode Island Political Cooperative, on Saturday morning tweeted video of the alleged assault.
“I’m a reproductive rights organizer & State Senate candidate. Last night, after speaking at our Roe rally, my Republican opponent – a police officer – violently attacked me. This is what it is to be a Black woman running for office. I won’t give up,” she wrote.

Here’s where the democracy part comes into our Constitutional republic. As heard on a Bill Moyers discussion, governments don’t do democracy, We The People do democracy.
https://portside.org/2022-06-26/how-discipline-rogue-supreme-court?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email —It can impeach and remove justices. It can increase or decrease the size of the court itself (at its inception, the Supreme Court had only six members). It can strip the court of its jurisdiction over certain issues or it can weaken its power of judicial review by requiring a supermajority of justices to sign off on any decision that overturns a law. Congress can also rebuke the court with legislation that simply cancels the decision in question.
In the face of a reckless, reactionary and power-hungry court, Congress has options. The problem is politics.

To suggest our Supreme Court is rogue can be justified by the bald-faced lies of some justices during their confirmation hearings. So now the public is supposed to take them seriously as they strike down a 100-year-old regulation of firearms in NYS? They haven’t exhibited the integrity that deserves respect, considering their lies. Patriarchy isn’t about ethics, it’s about privilege and control, and greed.

Democrats Prove They Aren’t Leftwing At ALL (Lee Camp Livestream)
Lee Camp is a censored comedian.
Biden is meeting with G7 with the USA left in chaos, while the Democratic/Republican Duopoly and he support the war in Ukraine to “uphold democracy” as women in the USA lose their rights to autonomy over their own bodies. Women will be forced to carry to birth the babies in a nation with predatory disease care rather than universal health care as has all other industrialized nations, and where baby formula is largely unavailable or at least in rare supply. Finland and Sweden are being welcomed into NATO which should imply that these wealthy socialist nations that provide for their own citizens, universal health care, should pick up the cost of NATO and “spreading democracy in Ukraine”, so the US public may be able to secure the same from our own government. But what’s up with challenging socialist/communist Russia while requiring socialist Sweden and socialist Finland to pop into NATO to lend their support? What’s up with all of Ukraine, USA, Finland, and Sweden, considering this s__t show?
https://portside.org/2022-06-26/supreme-courts-faux-originalism?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email —James Madison, the author of the Bill of Rights, twice introduced state legislation in Virginia that would impose penalties on any individual who “bear[s] a gun out of his inclosed ground, unless whilst performing military duty.”
You read that right. The author of the Second Amendment drafted statewide legislation that was effectively a forerunner to the New York state law that the Supreme Court just struck down.

One could say some Chief Justices are ruling according to their ideology and personal religious fantasies.
http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html –When Christopher Columbus first set foot on the white sands of Guanahani island, he performed a ceremony to “take possession” of the land for the king and queen of Spain, acting under the international laws of Western Christendom. Although the story of Columbus’ “discovery” has taken on mythological proportions in most of the Western world, few people are aware that his act of “possession” was based on a religious doctrine now known in history as the Doctrine of Discovery. Even fewer people realize that today – five centuries later – the United States government still uses this archaic Judeo-Christian doctrine to deny the rights of Native American Indians.

Climate Change and loss of women’s autonomy suggest it is foolish to recognize a difference between the Democratic branch and the Republican branch of the Duopoly — https://waterfrontonline.blog/2022/06/26/hochul-must-put-finger-lakes-ahead-of-campaign-fundraising-and-deny-air-permit-for-greenidges-bitcoin-operation/ —
This article includes opinions based on my seven years of reporting on Greenidge Generation’s restart, conversion to natural gas power and transformation into a Bitcoin mining operation.
Ten months ago, Seggos tweeted: “Greenidge has not shown compliance with NY’s climate law.” He’s since reaffirmed that position several times. Three months ago, Seggos said Greenidge faced an ‘uphill battle’ to renew its air permit.
The consequences to Hochul for either helping or crossing Bursky and his Bitcoin operation aren’t clear, but they certainly merit consideration.
She’s already received more than $300,000 in contributions since November from Tisch and six of his family members. Are money flows like that in jeopardy? Maybe not, but who really knows?–end of waterfrononline info–
So much of political hany-panky can be short-circuited by ridding ourselves of the corruption of money in politics and Citizens United.
****As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-
This is a reminder of how much we don’t know. This brings one around to Howie Hawkins, who continues to impress with original thought. We also could acknowledge Hawkins often speaks to censored information.
One such topic about which one would never have even considered, is whether the USA needs The Senate. Apparently The Senate is little other than expensive window dressing, promoting hierarchical interests, and too often placed in positions of power by big-money via Citizens United. But the public gets to fund this curiosity of pompous supremacy. Who knew?
The Democratic Branch of the Republican/Democratic Duopoly are especially functional in voter suppression—–https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbdkuU1edw —#GreenSocialist Notes #76
Howie Hawkins brings up the concept of whether the USA needs the Senate. Apparently according to some people, the Senate isn’t necessary. This brings up the blockage from the Senate of many bills that would benefit We The People. Combined with Citizens United that promotes big-money interest choice of Senators, in which laws are passed that benefit big-money interest rather than We The People, and that We The People support economically, the members of the Senate, this seems a good topic for discussion.
The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.
