On the right, we have QAnon and tales of a pedophilia ring under the watchful gaze of Hillary Clinton, or something like that. It’s hard to follow politically inspired derangements. If that doesn’t startle, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, Ga., 10th District) has openly speculated on a Jewish conspiracy of space-based lasers to ignite forest fires in California. I hope she was kidding, but one can never be sure with this mouth without a filter.
Why do I mention the cuckoo Right? The delusions of the Left prove that the affliction isn’t one dimensional. Case in point: a story is heralded in the press of a pregnant Ohio 10-year-old who had to flee the “coat-hanger R’s” of the buckeye state to the “coat-hanger R’s” of Indiana for an abortion, all to heap scorn on the Dobbs decision. The president, exhibiting his usual foot-in-mouth antics before a mic, repeated the story. The story is starting to unravel, and it’s beginning to look more like a tale of an unenforced border, thanks to Biden.
I was initially skeptical of a pregnant 10-year-old. That part now appears to be true, though there’s much more to the story. A pregnant 10-year-old? That’s rape simply by the combination of the two words, and it was reported to Columbus, Ohio, authorities by the girl’s mom on June 22. A suspect was arrested: an illegal border-crosser from Guatemala.
The fable also opens up a can of worms for Columbus. The city, run by lefty Dems, hasn’t officially adopted the moniker of “sanctuary city” but it behaves like one. In 2015, the city issued a “Police Directive” to prohibit police cooperation in the enforcement of immigration law. In 2017, Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther (D) was more emphatic. His proclamation announced that “no city department or employee may use city moneys, equipment, or personnel for the sole purpose of detecting or apprehending persons based on suspected immigration status, unless in response to a court order.” Can’t be much more “sanctuary” than that. Is he equally as insistent when it comes to holding suspects for violating federal counterfeiting or kidnapping laws? I kinda doubt it.
Furthermore, word is leaking out that the sole source for the breaking story was Dr. Caitlin Bernard of Indianapolis, a Dem activist and abortion enthusiast. And there is reason to believe that she may not have been the treating physician but only overheard another doctor who was. Anyway, either way, if she or anyone learned of the child sexual abuse and didn’t report it, they become eligible for enrollment in the hoosegow. Don’t be surprised that soon the story gets buried on A-10 as the public’s gaze is redirected to another phony outrage.
The real story is turning out to be the lengths that ideological hopes outrun the facts. Even more troubling, facts are invented or omitted to get at Kavanaugh, the Court, anybody running for office with an “R” after their name, or anyone opposing abortion from conception to the maternity ward crib. Lost in the shuffle is the grisly fact that we’re talking about snuffing out human life. There was a time when, even in states that legalized the procedure, people were disquieted enough about it to keep it private. Not anymore. A couple of days ago, the Schumer-led Senate gave a forum for some to loudly and proudly proclaim theirs. It’s grisly!
Now we have the disgraceful politics of the grisly to add to “defund the police”, neo-Marxist indoctrination everywhere from West Point to kindergarten, school buses unloading kids into a gauntlet of crack heads, immigration lawbreakers being shepherded around the country at taxpayer expense, and people and property under constant assault. And I haven’t gotten to the unraveling economy. Amazing, absolutely amazing!
