Wacky Sh*t Out of Texas Updates:


...our religious zealots need to discover an alternative offering for their "god" to others' science-based healthcare...


...the creation of a wacky conspiratorial crusade on a Texas size scale...
 


...why intentionally permit people during a pandemic to randomly spew harmful viral particles that inflict carnage on others before they voluntarily get vaccinated or involuntarily get infected and thereby vaccinated...

...essentially the US Supreme Court and Texas Court are mandating vaccination with carnage when vaccination without carnage is available...and that is truly some wacky shit!

Those interested in law may enjoy reading an earlier opinion by Justice Harlan on mandating vaccinations (smallpox in this case)...from the Library of Congress - JACOBSON v. MASSACHUSETTS, No. 70, Argued December 6, 1904, Decided February 20, 1905 (1M pdf)

Johns Hopkins with Bloomberg Philanthropy is offering a free Coursera course on how to talk with parents about the Covid-19 vaccines - starts 27 Jan 2022.
 

...it seems easier to not "check out" a book than ban it...but that may no be wacky enough for Texas?


...kudos to President Biden..no need to wait for hedge-funds to start investing in syndicates before deterring wacky policy for upending women's choices about childbirth...


...the Supreme Court's zealots (aka "conservatives") appear to be pursuing a path of irrelevancy or martyrdom and oblivion depending one's perspective...


UPDATED 08/06/2019 WP, Officers on Horseback Led A lack Suspect Through the Streets by Rope. The Chief Apologizedm


...WTF, a slang abbreviation that our citizenry are asking a lot during white nationalist governance of the unstable, unfit, unwell, unbalanced, and unlawful "new" alt-white-house et al. and GOP-RNC cum RAG (Ruse, Artifice, Gimmick) Party Senate...


UPDATED 03/29/2019 NYT, Demands for Adam Schiff’s Head Highlight Chasm That Only Widened With Mueller’s Conclusion

...wow, wonder what Representative Conaway (R-TX 11th District) will "call for" after the entire Mueller Report is provided to Congress and made public and he's read it...he will read it before talking about it, won't he...?

...kudos to the House of Representatives for intervening in Texas v USA and introducing legislation to ensure Americans have affordable comprehensive healthcare coverage...billionaires' budget burdens and religious zealots' myths about female reproduction are of quaternary or quinary concern, if they are of any concern...


...after nine years of listening to the GOP/RNC cum RAG Party lies about providing Americans with affordable comprehensive healthcare, even goddess Clementia is calling bullsh^t... (the latest RAG Party efforts to "disrupt", aka destroy obamacare)...

UPDATED 03/01/2019 NYT, A Times Square Billboard Hits Ocasio-Cortez on Amazon. She Hits Back

...billionaire Bezos (Amazon) builds jobs in New York like billionaire sports team owners and others build stadiums, golf courses, and arenas, with rent-seeking at the public's cost...

...it's going to take more than billionaire sponsored or funded billboards, rent-seeking, monopolies, addictive products, and chants of "disruption", a euphemism for the gimmick of cannibalizing existing assets...

...expectations for and of our billionaires significantly deviate from the requirements of a leading 21st century nation...

...don't forget to laugh...


UPDATED 12/19/2018 Reuters, Federal Judge [District Judge Reed Charles O'Connor] Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional and CourtListener, ORDER granting Plaintiffs partial summary judgment (Ordered by Judge Reed C. O'Connor on 12/14/2018) (Judge Reed C. O'Connor) (Entered: 12/14/2018) and CourtListener, Docket for Texas v. United States of America (4:18-cv-00167) District Court, N.D. Texas

...the judges opinion has no immediate impact on Obamacare...it is important for our citizens to continue enrolling in and using Obamacare...the goal of comprehensive healthcare for all our citizens will face obstacles, even if some are a bit brazen...like using the 2017 tax law mostly benefiting our wealthiest citizens to declare healthcare for our poorest citizens unconstitutional...believing if you topple one domino you topple them all...

Can the U.S. Stop Her From Getting An Abortion?


It's unclear why our religious zealots' dogma and lunacy is able to interfere or impede a women's healthcare, period?

UPDATED 10/16/2017 Reveal, Access Denied: The Fight for Public Education
and HoustonChronicle, Denied

States rights and libertarian zealots often substitute dogma or inferior, and nefarious state solutions in lieu of superior federated solutions, which cut harm to their residents and our citizens (e.g. secure health, education, shelter, and nutrition). Such is the damage of  the zealots' dogma!

UPDATED 10/07/2017 HoustonChronicle, Texas Manufacturer of 'Bump Stocks' Halts New Sales

A corporation does not have a constitutional right to place into the stream of commerce any sh*t, addictive, or harmful product a snake-oil salesman labels "innovative".

UPDATED 09/18/2017 Fox, Pastor Jeffress Talks Day of Prayer for Harvey Victims

Texas religious zealot Robert Jeffress thanked god for giving us the "gift" of, Trump! 

Ah, can we return god's gift or re-gift it to another nation, which is "praying for unity", say Caracas, Venezuela (elev. 2,953')? 

Instead of "a day of prayer" let's have "a day of good government" that sends seed money (say $100B) to help the residents of Galveston (elev. 6.89'), Texas City (elev. 9.8'), and Beaumont (elev. 16.0') et al. 

Do not attach a "prayer", but a reminder that good government leadership is not a gift from god, but extraordinary citizens with the ability to consult geospatial specialists or elevation maps when regulating the building of Texas structures, especially residential structures!



UPDATED 09/01/2017 NYT, Blocking a Bad Immigration Law in Texas
UPDATED 08/14/2017 TexasTribune, Senate approves bill restricting abortion insurance and Texas Legislature Online, Bill: HB 214  

Requiring women to pay a separate and addition premium for their reproductive healthcare (non-emergency abortion) is bizarre.

Our citizenry will recall the last time a federal lawmaker from Texas proposed wacky financial sh*t we got Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which overturned the Glass-Steagall Act that enabled our cannibal-capitalists to blow up the global economy; we're still recovering from the financial  catastrophe of 2007 Great Recession!
