PREFACE: This post is being made as a criticism of the USA Republican Party. I state that from the outset. No “If’s”, no “Buts”. My criticism of the Republican Party is NOT to be seen in any way shape or form, as a show of support for their main USA opposition, the Democrats. Let me be quiet clear. Each of these two parties have home and international crimes that they have committed on the world stage. Will they ever be held to account? Sadly no. There too many other countries that wish to remain sucking up to them, willing to daily turn a blind eye, willing to remain silent about many things, because of something they want themselves from America – be it money, power, influence, arms, oil, or much more.
So, the ass-kissing will go on. We can try make excuses for this ass-kissing and try making excuses for continuously turning a blind eye to many things – but this does not lessen the number of crimes and wrongs done, or the ones they are still doing/allowing to this day.
.
.
I repeat. I do NOT support either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. Until they ever come clean about their many decades of crimes and wrongs, stop their hypocritical actions, admit a good number of their presidents past dead and present alive, were/are criminals – and a lot more they should stop doing, my support of them will always remain at an absolute zero level.

Yesterday was a shocking day in the history of the world. Whatever side of the abortion debate you are on, not just in America but across the globe, women’s rights took a hit. What America does, others stupidly try to follow sometimes! Idiots being led by other idiots. The blind leading the blind or stupid sometimes. Within 48 hours of America time, the USA Supreme Court showed itself to be a double standard hypocritical bitch of its own making.
Thursday 23rd, the Court ruled that a specific New York State gun-control law is unconstitutional. The ruling expanded gun rights. The court found that a New York law requiring residents to prove “proper cause” – or a good reason – to carry concealed firearms in public violates the US Constitution. Justice Clarence Thomas, writing on behalf of the six conservative judges who make up the court’s majority, ruled that Americans have a right to carry “commonly used” firearms in public for personal defense. Lives of people, men, women and children became second in priority to the rights regarding owning a weapon that kills. Gun rights before life rights.
.
.
Friday 24th, the same court gave another constitutional ruling that brought about an end of federal protection in regard to a woman’s rights to abortion. Women still can get one – but only in states that allows it – and the states that allow it, are under pressure from the Republican’s and the more extremists religious shouting nuts of America – that now have even greater rights regarding guns. Overnight, the states that have “Trigger Laws” brought into immediate effect, the ruling of the Supreme Court. Other states have similar, but their restrictions will kick in within two additional weeks. The end result between the two, will be a great number of states that will total ban abortions under any circumstances.

Raped young girls and older women will have to have the rapists child, children will be forced to give birth because of sick incest attacks. Girls and women, at the risk of their very lives, will be put at lethal risk because being pregnant could be killing them or the condition in time leading to that fatal end. Rapists dads will use the courts to force themselves upon the person they have raped, in order to see their child… Don’t think such things are possible? See LINK – LINK – LINK – LINK. Abuses continue…
The Republican’s and the extremist religious nuts are all ok with this. They don’t want to hear that if a woman dies because of a pregnancy – that the baby still dies too. In the end, they got by the law change they wanted, to invoke that both must die because the life of something just created has a higher priority than something that was alive a lot longer – and something that could have given life to more under better circumstances. They like this screwed-up situation because it suits their own mental ideology. An ideology that also means women in America have lesser rights over their own bodies than men do. They get to call the shots (no pun intended) again over women – and if that means it leads to deaths, they pass this off as ok. They say in PR for TV and radio that “It’s not right” of course – but then they will still allow the young girls and women to die because they got their Supreme Court way. That’s what things boil down to – after ploughing through their oral PR bullshit.
-
Gun owners rights – no – not to be greater interfered with.
-
Women’s rights – yes – they can be greater interfered with!
.
.
While we are here, let cut through some other crap and speak of other truths – greater picture truths.
- Many of the Supreme Court judges that voted to defeat Roe V. Wade stated – under oath – in their selection process for the Supreme level, that they would respect and uphold the ground-breaking previous ruling. They stated that they supported it. They lied through their teeth. It was all total bullshit stated so they could get the life-term, treated like royalty, well paid/perked job.
.
They lied to get their jobs. .
- Donal Trump – who previous stated “Grab them by the pussy” (LINK) (LINK), the ex-president, still financial crook, loaded with three people, the Supreme Court with his own ass-kissing judges – so that a majority would then vote the way he wanted them to. The Donald Trump fix was in – and in time he got what he wanted. Less rights for women of America and more chaos in his wake, for years, possible decades to come. If Donald Trump or his like, get in again, America is truly screwed – but at a faster rate. It’s already heading towards an end it’s in denial about. More on that below.
. - The matter proves again that the separation line between church and state is a very thin one. They are just operating and reaching out through proxies. Proxy use will be nothing new for past and present parties that occupy the White House. East versus West or Orient, parties were at it in the past and still operating through them in the present, as they fight more wars though more fronts. You know this. They know this. You know they know. They know you know. Yet, they couldn’t give a rats arse! They will continue to do it and sycophant states and its elected, will go along with it.
.
So, here’s how it works. The Republicans need to the religious right and its people for votes. The Religious right needs the Republicans so they can have political power. It’s a symbiotic relationship. The likes of Trump and his ilk will say whatever the hell it takes, even if it’s incorrect or morally wrong, to ass-kiss the more religious nuts, in order to get their backing support – which translates into voting numbers. The religious right will make demands of the Republicans and keep them on a tight leash, pulled and yanked on a regular basis so they can get power, their way and influence when they want it. The two sides combine regularly in hatred and attack like a pack of wild dogs, towards the Democrats at every opportunity.
. - What the Republicans and their religious demanders/backers have brought about, has not got rid of abortion! Worse, they have made further sure they have got rid of more safe, carried out abortion. Back street setups will now more operate in states that ban all forms of abortion. It’s a step back into a deep and troubling USA past (one even bought up in the film “Dirty Dancing” – “The guy had a dirty knife and a folding table,” a character describes. “I could hear her screaming from the hallway.” Film fiction but based on reality). There will be greater risks and greater medical mispractises. Lives could be more lost.
. - Due to many states immediate closing down services or will shortly, many of those that need such services, will have to travel. This traveling across possible many state lines for help seeking, will cost money. It’s already therefore acknowledged that one further detrimental side effect of making it harder to get abortion services and having to travel further, will be that more of the black or poor community in America will lose out, while more affluent white people who do have more money (state/nationals stats prove this), will be able to avail of abortion services where the more out of luck and poor, will not. The poor will be stick with more babies and bills they cannot already afford – on top of what will be additional later medical care and further financial bills that will come with that. Further forcing them even into further poverty yet again.
.
Even more irony? The religious extremists and the extremists of the Republician’s who say racist they want a more “white America”, but their stupid actions in forcing abortion locations to close (by intimidation or change of law), are in fact, helping to increase the very birth rate that their racists asses actually wants to see reduced. Yes, the muppets are shooting themselves in the foot. They are doing themselves no favours. Idiots, the lot of them – but they are so stupid and blind, they refuse to see this.
* For the record: According to todays already available statistics, by 2050, America will definite reach a point where those living in it are more of a mixed cultural background than what the racists call “pure whites”.

. - I recently watched an episode of an American TV series called Mayor of Kingstown. Short version: about a man trying to act as a go-between in a prison community. In the fourth episode, a teacher referred to America as the worlds greatest empire. Now, the series was fiction – but if what the teacher was saying, was actually meant to be swallowed as truth, then it was anything but that. America is not the worlds greatest empire. Never was. Never will be. What it might be see, the way it is going, the possibly the worlds biggest ’empire’ to totally screw itself over in so short a time of humans walking the planet!
* For the record: The greatest empires were that of Alexander the Great, The Mongol Empire, the Roman empire, the Qing empire, Russian Empire and more (LINK).
.
Why do I mention this? Even the greatest empires prior to the establishment of the “United States of America” eventually in time, collapsed massively or completely. All of them. History teaches this. The bigger the conglomerate of states, counties, people, etc, combined under one title, the greater the chance in 100 or 1000 years, it will eventually fracture and break up. History contains so many examples of this to learn from. Any modern, huge country that has a leader or elected who espouse that theirs won’t, is seriously deluded. The Greeks thought their ancient setup would last, as did the Romans, the British and their empire and the past Khans – just to name a few. They and far more, were wrong.
.
All these empires (including one tried to be created in the 1940’s by a sick, very evil man) by their own stupidity, errors, erroneous practises, wrongful chosen directions by those in charge, led to their eventual downfall. Sure, some of them were attacked by outside others – but because internally, the empire was at war with itself in most cases, those that then came later attack, found their waring task far easier. I’m not saying America is about to be attacked by outsiders and this is why it might be doomed. I’m saying, from what history teaches, that the ’empire’ of America will ultimately fail and fall – far more so because of internal struggles and fracturing within. America is at war with itself, never mind with outsiders. It’s in the process of doing what many others before it has eventually done. Carried out the end destruction damage from within.
.
America as we know it today, might last another 200 years. It might last another 400 years if lucky. If America as we know it now, lasts another 500 or even 1,000 years, it will be a miracle. Anyone thinking otherwise, looking at todays already decline of internal unrest, fractured communities reaching across states and balkanised ideologies, are seriously deluding themselves. Truth is often hard to accept but to see truth, one first has to get one’s head out of their arse. America right now is sowing the seed of it’s own destruction. It’s doing what past crashed empires tried to also stave off – but ultimately, each in their own time, failed to do. History again teaches this.
.
Back To Current Reality.
The setup of the Supreme Court is fixed. Gerrymandered to vote only one way now – and that’s the Republican way. Don’t even get me started about investigations that ought to be done regarding the political connection of some who sit on it – or indeed, the money or ‘gifts’ they have been quietly given by mysterious others (paid for memberships to mega expensive, mega exclusive golf clubs, mega houses they mysteriously own that they would not be able to afford even on their already high wages, etc. That corruption is there to see to an investigating eye.
.
The future scenario is this:
Path one: The Republicans win the next American election. They then install even more right-wing Supreme Court judges (as others die off) – that in turn will totally take a wrecking ball to the rights of LGBTQ and rights of women in America. Then the more extremist religious elements of that party will insist that more laws be brought in to crack down on opposition and their dissenters. If you think “The Handmaid’s Tale” is just a fiction book, think again. “1984” was just supposed to be a fiction book too. How has things turned out there? All things are indeed possible if American people are right now, not more careful.
Path Two: The Democrats win the next American election. They then install more what they hope will be, their own liberal Supreme judges. The Democrats might further up the number of Supreme Court judges, in order to greater insure a stacking of things in their own favour!
SIDE NOTE: If the current liberal Supreme Court judges are to retire, they best do it before the Republicans might take over the White House again. That way at least, the Democrats stand some better chance of putting in better judges that support women’s rights and their self-right to body integrity, far better. If the Republicans get to more load the Supreme Court later… “The end is nigh” in many ways for many people within its borders. My advice would be, to get the hell out sharpish!
In either case, both the Republicans and the Democrats will have to have majority numbers in both of their democratic houses (like our Dail and Seanad) and even then, there is the fear that Supreme Court applicants will again lie, say what needs to be said, just to get their ass into a lifetime long, well perked/paid/privileged/protected job!
In either case, core constitutional changes will have to be created by one side or the other, for matters to improve and rights be protected or constitutional changes will have to be done in order for things to get much worse – under the PR guise of supposedly “improving America”.
The next expected presidential election will play a mega part in how things are going to go better or much worse for America, not just in short presidential year terms but possibly for many future generations – if the “USA” even now lasts that long. The next presidential election will have a huge hand in deciding if America falls far more quicker or if it is to last a few more centuries as we presently know it today in border structure and power control.
In the meanwhile, there are American grandmothers and mothers, right now that have had more rights over their own body than their children and grandchildren will have in the future – all thanks to the gun nut Republican Party that ironically says it “respects life” while putting more arms and bullets into people’s hands.
More double standards? As I open stated on my Facebook page…
…”The same USA Republican Party that said “Don’t wear masks as your body is your own to decide about” when it comes to covid and rights over your own body…
.
…Is the same Republican party and Supreme Court that now says women in America have less legal rights over their own body, less legal rights than a man in effect – and that their body is no longer theirs to ultimately make decisions about.”
.
It’s mega double standard legal, hypocrisy of the highest order.
It’s now expected that Gay/Lesbian, sex relationship, divorce, contraception rights will be next to come under attack by the Republican and the religious extremists of America. The Republican appointed, head judge of the Supreme Court has stated he looks forward to seeing cases come to him with this in mind and more. Abortion was just the first shot in taking America and human rights idiotic backward – towards their own version of A Handmaids Tale. America is screwed.
.

P.S. Back home in Ireland, we have political parties espousing the same path be taken as the Republicans and the more ‘out there’ extreme religious nuts of America. If Ireland is allowed to go down the same path, more cases like that of unfortunate Savita Halappanavar (LINK) will definitely occur – and those espousing that no abortions should be allowed under any circumstances, will have blood/lives lost on their own hands. Will they be so gleeful then, as they are today – smarting on Twitter over the reversal of Roe V. Wade?
Let’s ask them.
