Economic Boost

According to Chelsea Clinton, Roe Vs. Wade helped add three and one half trillion dollars to the economy.  Her reasoning? The boost happened because the women that received an abortion were more inclined to join the the workforce.

There are no statistical references in the article, although it does explain Chelsea's bizarre line of reasoning. What is most amazing is she's so ignorant to place an economic value on the destruction of human fetuses, and then promote the idea as something good for the country.

I shouldn't be surprised, although I am wondering how depraved society will become before the likes of Clinton are censored, and prevented from any public exposure due to their appalling decay of morals.

Bad Juju

Omarosa Manigault-Newman was fired from the Trump staff. During her firing, while in the Situation Room, she recorded the conversation. Not only did she tape that, she claims to have other tapes.

I don't know if she realizes such things can, and will, lead to legal problems that the proceeds of her book deal will never cover. As possible recordings of classified information, a motion to a judge might lead to an injunction, a demand for the recording, and and end to the selling of her book. If classified information is found, the criminal problems may lead to some time at the cross-bar hotel.

How this all ends up will only be known in the future, but I'm thinking she completed the final destruction of her reputation, and guaranteed a future of closed doors.

This Morning at Work

It was hot at work this morning, with the usual high humidity and morning showers. Although it was uncomfortable, it was a beautiful sunrise.

Which Path Will He Take?

After over a year of investigation, and the possibility Muellor was snooping for dirt on Trump in 2013, the path Muellor will take is a toss-up, but the paths will not look good toward his legacy.

With the the numerous leaks over the investigation, if there was something behind the suspicion, logic says something would have leaked, and Muellor would be pushing for his slam-dunk. This hasn't happened, and with the Manafort trial showing the star witness is a thief, with nothing to lose by lying, that path toward impeaching Trump is closed. If Muellor was thinking this might lead somewhere, it may only lead to embarrassment, and make him appear as a fumbling idealist with an agenda.

Judicial Watch uncovered many things Muellor is supposed to be investigating. In fact, known criminal acts by important people demand accountability, yet Muellor is spending his resources chasing gossip. If he thinks this is not being noticed, he's wrong. The majority of people with knowledge of his investigation are wondering why he's ignoring the low hanging fruit.

Muellor can stop this investigation, present his information to the Attorney General, and leave his position with some dignity. It's not appearing this is the path he will take, and this path seems to be leading to exposing a deliberate effort by Muellor to railroad Trump. The further he travels down this path, the further he destroys his legacy, and he may find ignoring his duties has criminal consequences. Trying to destroy a legitimate President, with the help of others, is a seditious conspiracy.

Stacking the Deck

Most people don't realize, or care, that a federal judge is a public official that operates with very little oversight. That, and the removal of someone in this position is so onerous, the effort to do so is mostly not attempted. In the entire history of the United States, only 15 were ever impeached, and only 8 were convicted. 

After the recent obvious efforts to subvert the rules of law, it's apparent federal judges have assumed a power that was never envisioned. Instead of being the referee in litigation, they've now dismissed the law as written, ignored the intent, and interjected their personal opinion to promote their cause.

There is a benefit of appointing judges, and making it hard to remove them from their position. Theoretically, it allows an unbiased person to apply laws to justice, without allowing subversion of the laws due to politics. Otherwise, regardless of the current political party in power, laws will be followed, and criminals will be punished as the law dictates.  After some of the efforts of current judges, it's apparent theory crapped its pants.

The problem with judges is that it's assumed they're wise, and impartial enough to not allow personal opinions to conflict with their duty. While I don't think that's ever been the situation, I do feel there was a time honor dictated recusal, or stepping down from the bench. Since honor left many liberals years ago, such things don't happen, when it's most necessary.

The only solution may be term limits. The turn over would remove activist judges; but considering the ignorance of the supposedly well educated, the solution might bring a bigger problem.
