HALF-FULL REPORT 06/17/22
Will Mike Ramirez’s prayer – the prayer of everyone pro-life – be answered at 10AM DC time this Monday June 20? The Chief Justice may hold out one more week – the 27th being the latest delay possible – but odds are rapidly increasing the 20th will be D-Day, with D for Dobbs.
Per the May 2 leak of the draft decision, should the Court as expected repeal Roe by deciding there is no constitutional right to abortion, a dangerously large number of Lefties are going to violently lose their minds. That’s why it’s imperative for pro-lifers to make plans now for physically going to their nearest Catholic church or pro-life pregnancy center immediately upon the decision’s announcement to prevent attacks upon it.
Bring mace, bear or pepper spray, be armed if you’re in a can-carry state or district, and be prepared to use whatever you have in defense. Adequate self-defense is the only proper response to the initiation of violence.
As you know, such attacks on pro-life centers and churches have been occurring all over the country since May 2 and are going to explode if Dobbs repeals Roe. This violent madness of crowds must be stopped by whatever defensive force is necessary.
************
Yesterday (6/16), Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) demanded Attorney General Garland resign over DOJ inaction regarding the violence of pro-abortion “domestic terrorism groups” such as Jane’s Revenge.
What is going on is a literal madness of crowds – a homicidal madness, homicidal in wanting to kill unborn babies, homicidal in wanting to kill anyone who doesn’t want them to kill unborn babies. And with Dobbs/Roe, it is all so stupidly crazy.
All the repeal of Roe would accomplish is that abortion would be a matter of state law not federal. Blue states will pass baby-murder-is-okay laws, red states will pass laws saying it isn’t. Further, the “abortion pills” of mifepristone and misoprostol work up to 11 weeks of pregnancy, and they can be easily mailed in a letter from a blue state address to a red state address.
So while pro-lifers can have a party with the death of Roe, and anti-lifers can wail and mourn, the battle for life and against it will just move to state battlefields. A luta continua (the motto of the anti-communist Renamo guerillas in Mozambique), the struggle continues.
************
Trouble is, “stupidly crazy” applies not just to anti-lifers but across the board wherever the Left is. Look at some examples from just the last few days.
*Skirt Requirement for Schoolgirls Violates Constitution, Appeals Court Rules. “A North Carolina charter school with a female principal and vice principal is violating the Constitution because it requires girls to wear skirts, a federal appeals court has declared.”
*With Garbage LGBT ‘Scholarship’, Colonial Williamsburg Destroys Its Reason For Existing. “Williamsburg has gone woke. In doing so, its leadership and staff are displaying conspicuous enmity toward the highly reasoned position held by America’s founders—a position at odds with today’s LGBT dogma.”
*John Kerry: “We Don’t Need To Drill More Oil And Gas.” Enough said.
*Doctors ‘Baffled’ By A ‘Mysterious’ New ‘Sudden Death Syndrome’ Killing Healthy Young People. “They’re calling it Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, or SADS for short. It couldn’t be the experimental, novel-platform gene- and immune-modulating COVID spike protein-making injection linked to heart inflammation, could it?”
*Wokeness Has Destroyed American Colleges, Turned Them Into ‘Indoctrination Centers’. “The universities have been destroyed. The university is over. The university is not a marketplace for ideas. It is an indoctrination center. The teachers have come out woke. Their mission is to indoctrinate your children.”
*Miss Universe Insists ‘Not All People Who Menstruate Are Women’. “Inclusive language is important, especially when speaking about periods. Thinking menstrual health is only a niche topic for woman excludes transgender, non-binary and gender-nonconforming people who have periods from the conversation.”
************
However, insanity is not limited to American woketards. The most mind-boggling, terrifyingly revealing act of pure crazy of this week and possibly of this millennium was yesterday (6/16): Communist China: U.S. Could ‘Spark World War III’ by Diversifying Mineral Supply Chains.
“Washington is using NATO to prepare for an all-out conflict with its strategic competitors, which could spark World War III, as the US is pushing decoupling or reducing reliance on China in fields like critical mineral resources.”
Resources like antimony, titanium, tungsten, cobalt and lithium – and if the US breaks free of dependence on Red China for these by gaining other sources, this is, quote, “an act of war” by the US upon China to which the Chicoms will respond accordingly.
What an astounding loss-of-face admission of demented fear. “For you not to be dependent and subservient to China is an act of war!” An engraved invitation for us not to be.
Of an announcement of weakness and vulnerability to the world, so that any country with an abundance of these minerals – Chile for lithium, Tajikistan for antimony, Vietnam for tungsten, Australia for cobalt – can now make a path to America’s door and say, “Let’s make a deal!”
Time for the US to say to Commie China what the Ukrainian soldier said to the Russian warship….

Speaking of Ukraine… Everyone there is talking about this photo. It is of a group of graduating high school seniors at their prom or graduation ball last weekend.
The high school is the Lyceum in Minsk, Belarus. The tall (6-3) young man in the center wearing a distinctly bright blue suit and tie next to his date wearing a distinctly bright canary yellow dress, is 17 year-old Nikolai “Kolya” Lukashenko – the son of Belarus dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko.
This is no accident, comrades, that Kolya and his date are wearing the colors of the flag of Ukraine. He is his father’s favorite, touted to succeed him, and yet there he is, broadcasting on Belarus State Television his support for Ukraine against his father’s buddy Putin. Kid has moxie, and integrity to match.
************
Wonderful photo essay in the Daily Mail on Sunday (6/12): Kyiv basks in freedom! Ukrainians flock to beaches and soak up the sun on the banks of the Dnieper in scenes that were unimaginable weeks ago when Russia launched assault on city.
Plus this good news:
Yesterday (6/16), the leaders of France, Italy, and Germany – Macron, Draghi, and Scholz – saw for themselves the horror of what Putin’s Russia has perpetrated in Ukraine. In their joint announcement, they stated that Europe was united in its determination to enable Ukraine to militarily defeat and remove Russia from Ukrainian soil.

Meanwhile…
It was so uplifting to see the two biggest US oilcos stand up to Xiden’s bullying.
On Wednesday (6/15): ExxonMobil statement regarding President Biden Letter to Oil Industry
“In the short term, the U.S. government could enact measures often used in emergencies following hurricanes or other supply disruptions — such as waivers of Jones Act provisions and some fuel specifications to increase supplies. Longer term, government can promote investment through clear and consistent policy that supports U.S. resource development, such as regular and predictable lease sales, as well as streamlined regulatory approval and support for infrastructure such as pipelines.”
In other words, shut up, Joe, and get out of the way.
Yesterday (6/16), Chevron was marvelously more blunt: Chevron Hits Back, Says Biden Trying To “Impose Obstacles” To Energy Delivery.
“Unfortunately, what we have seen since January 2021 are policies that send a message that the Administration aims to impose obstacles to our industry delivering energy resources the world needs.”
It’s not just oilcos who are sick and tired of this sick, tired old man.
Yesterday (6/16), that Democrat Establishment bastion The Atlantic ran: Why Biden Shouldn’t Run in 2024.
“Let me put this bluntly: Joe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024. He is too old. Biden will turn 80 on November 20. He will be 82 if and when he begins a second term. The numbers just keep getting more ridiculous from there… No one wants to see grandpop in the damn cockpit.”
No wonder more and more Dems are souring on him:
The flip side is the Dems just may try to keep him in the White House until January 2025 – which is masochistic but what choice do they have? Xiden’s popularity is in the basement at 38% but Harris’ is in the toilet at 11%.
Nonetheless, desperate people do desperate things – like giving Joe the hook, Kamala choosing Michelle O as VP, with her being a Potemkin President saying nothing without reading a teleprompter while Michelle and her husband actually run the White House, then get elected in ’24.
At least that’s the scenario now being suggested at the DNC.
************
Yet even the loudest advocates of this DNC fantasy will admit that there’s no time to enact it before the November mid-terms. And by that time the loathing for all things Woke and Xiden will be truly gargantuan.

And how about this beautiful young lady?
She’s the daughter of migrant farmworkers, born in Tamaulipas, Mexico 36 years ago. Moving to Texas at 6, she picked cotton with her parents until becoming a US citizen at 14. Graduating from South Texas College, she worked for the Texas GOP in Hispanic outreach due to her Christian pro-life views. She married a US Border Patrol Agent with whom she has four children.
Yes, she’s Mayra Flores, who on Tuesday (6/14) became a Congresswoman in a special election for Texas 34th CD, a deeply Democrat district, winning 51 to 43%: Republican Mayra Flores Flips Dem House Seat in Texas.
Here’s Mayra:
“My Christian faith is a core part of who I am. My parents raised me to be a strong woman of faith and defending individuals’ religious liberties will always be a priority of mine.
I will always fight for the unborn and advocate for pro-life policies in Washington.
My family is the most important thing in my life. I was raised with strong family values and work to instill them in my own children. Family values are one thing that make our community in South Texas so special and strong.
The right to bear Arms is something I hold near and dear. Americans should always be able to protect themselves and their families. I will always fight for our second amendment rights.
Illegal immigration encourages and funds human/child trafficking. I legally immigrated to America when I was six years old. Living in South Texas offers a unique perspective on illegal immigration and how it affects the livelihood of American citizens. We MUST secure our border to keep bad individuals out and to encourage LEGAL immigration.
The oil and gas industry is critical to the success of our State and Nation. The industry has been hit hard in recent years but I will always work to help the oil and gas industry and stand firm against radical policies that would undermine it
America is the greatest country in the world and it has afforded me the life I have today. Through hard work anything is possible in America. I will ALWAYS put America first.”
Mayra is the first Mexican-born Member of Congress in history. She will be an inspiration to all Hispanic voters to move away from destructive Democrats to these values she espouses for the GOP.
She is one more reason for the Red Tsunami coming in November.

As an antidote to all the worry – much of it justified – about how America’s kids are growing up warped, this week’s HFR Hero of the Week is a 17 year-old high school boy named Ryan Finlay. The link is to a NY Post story about him last Saturday (6/11).
The story is about an essay he published in his school’s newspaper The Record – published, the masthead says, since 1903, for this is an extremely expensive elite prep school in New York City, Horace Mann.
If there is a Must-Read for the week, it’s Ryan’s Fear, Risk, and the State of Political Expression at HM.
I guarantee you will be impressed if not astounded not only by this young man’s values and his courage in expressing them, but the eloquence, intelligence, and clarity with which he conveys them.
America definitely has a bright future by producing such young people as Ryan Finlay.

The world’s richest, and increasingly the most interesting, person just posted this. It’s worth sharing:
From Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but I much prefer it literally vs ironically.O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is!
O brave new world,
That has such people in’t.
Some hate humanity, but I love humanity so much.
Making life multiplanetary expands the scope & scale of consciousness. It also enables us to backup the biosphere, protecting all life as we know it from a calamity on Earth. Humanity is life’s steward, as no other species can transport life to Mars. We can’t let them down.
