It’s Thursday, and daylight is bringing a harrowing glimpse of the havoc caused by Hurricane Ian. While our thoughts and prayers and assistance focus on Florida, here are some other stories worthy of our attention. Did US Commit an Act of War Against Russia? You See Any Congressional Vote for War? I know all eyes are on Hurricane Ian, but did anybody notice Congress give Biden approval to militarily attack Russia? Did that slip by while we were distracted by the latest dramas surrounding Meghan Markle? I sure didn’t see it happen. And yet this week, Joe Biden may well have kicked off an active war with Russia. Somebody sabotaged Putin’s Nord Stream pipelines, causing major leaks, sending natural gas bubbling into the ocean. Is there definitive proof yet that the U.S. did it? No. But Poland’s rep to the EU — and former Defense Minister — openly thanked the U.S.A. And Biden himself said cryptically in February that if Putin invaded Ukraine, “there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2.” He refused to say how he’d accomplish that. On Wednesday, Russia requested an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council over the pipeline damage. The State Department has urged Americans in Russia to leave as quickly as possible. BONUS BREW: A Warning From Trump and an Offer to Help SWAT Bust of Pro-Life Activist Not an Isolated Incident. Another Activist Gets a Visit From the FBI If you were hoping dozens of agents swarming the home of pro-life activist Mark Houck was a one-off, unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The Daily Signal is reporting two FBI agents showed up to grill a pro-life activist praying outside Planned Parenthood - St. Paul - Vandalia Health Center. Seems the activist had pushed a Planned Parenthood worker who was carving up one of his signs with a box cutter. All local charges against the activist for assault were dropped. But here come Biden’s FBI. The incident prompted Pro-Life Action Ministries Executive Director Brian Gibson to send out an email warning members that the FBI is on the hunt. That there’s “a new effort by the Biden Justice Department to intimidate us all from the important work we do to save lives.” Tom Gilson has posted a powerful column, “Take Your Pick: Either the FBI is Guilty of an Unjustified, Terrorizing Assault on an American Family, or Else We Can’t Trust the FBI.” Man Who Shot Pro-Life Canvasser Claims It Was an ‘Accident’ And an 83-year-old pro-life volunteer passing out pamphlets was shot last week. The perp, 74-year-old Richard Harvey admits he shot the unidentified woman, but claims it was an “accident.” Harvey’s wife Sharon says she was arguing with the woman over Michigan’s Prop 3, which will enshrine abortion into the state’s constitution. Harvey heard the commotion and came running with a .22 caliber rifle. The couple claims they repeatedly told the woman to leave their property. Harvey claims he thought the woman was going to conk Sharon with her clipboard. “I went to club it away with my rifle and my finger was still on the trigger guard. It went off.” The woman says she was shot in the back while leaving. By his own admission Harvey was swinging a loaded gun around at an 84-year-old woman with his finger near the trigger. Even Alec Baldwin wouldn’t be that reckless. Your POTUS Moment for the Day: ‘Jackie, Where’s Jackie?’ With such somber business going on, it’d really be nice to be assured the man in the Oval Office is on top of things. At a conference on “Hunger, Nutrition & Health” Wednesday, Joe Biden asked the whereabouts of Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski. One problem. Rep. Walorski was killed in a car crash this past August. In fact, Biden posted a heartfelt statement upon her passing. Making the mental lapse much worse, Biden’s search for Walorski came directly after a video tribute to Walorski played. And the Survey Says … We asked folks on Facebook, “Do we need a more sensitive James Bond?” And the survey says … 95% say “No!” Only 5% say “Yes.” |
