As for Roe vs Wade, it was a constitutional law issue, not a moral one. It merely (correctly) returned abortion law back to the States.
It wasn’t Trump’s decision, and in the hierarchy of achievements of the Trump Presidency, it is well down the scale.
As he said recently (paraphrased), fanatical anti-abortionists are electoral poison.

This video addresses the “earthquake prediction” made and presented on youtube by a few well known youtube channels including Dahboo77 among others (not trying to single out dahboo just that his is the largest channel repeating the zerohedge/quake prediction channel report).
This game of telephone on earthquake reports references a twitter channel called “earthquake prediction”….. notice the terminology mistake right up front?! (prediction is for horse races, and forecasting is for natural processes).
This “quake prediction” twitter page puts out unsigned earthquake warnings on twitter—- “predictions” made using a methodology I don’t know much about (if anything exists at all i do not know).
However, I do indeed know (from looking at their page) that the earthquake prediction channel has issued many warnings for large earthquakes which don’t pan out. They appear to have a very low success rate — obviously low if you check their twitter page with hundreds of California warnings like this one now (and their channel is several years old at this point).
Never say never, but I am not taking the “prediction” seriously unless I can at least repeat the method they’re using!

johanna,
I was clarifying that it was my opinion not someone else’s. I have not taken it negatively as some kind of attack. My words, my accountability.
And now, I proceed to defend my case.
I am not speaking on behalf of conservatives; I am stating my analysis of the current situation regarding the election in 2024, based on what I am reading at various sites including Conservative Christian ones that are staunchly pro-life, pro-traditional marriage and values. They are not happy.
And they are the voters – the ones who will decide who gets their vote. I posted 3 articles on the previous page as samples.
It doesn’t matter that Roe v Wade was a constitutional law issue and not a moral one. In fact, if the pro-abortion, pro-choice lobby understood that difference, there wouldn’t be the continuing harassment of pro-lifers.
a/ Trump won the 2016 primaries and the election despite many conservatives being put off by his lifestyle, number of marriages and some of his locker-room comments on women. They still voted for him because of his promise to appoint pro-life justices and get Roe v Wade overturned. Without those voters, Trump would not have won 2016.
b/ He won and he appointed the required Supreme Court justices who together were responsible for the correct change to the law which handed the issue back to the states.
c/ That law has resulted in the saving of lives. For pro-lifers (who are voters) that issue was at the top of their voting decisions in 2016. For that they are grateful to Trump.
d/ In trying to distance himself from the poorer than expected mid-term results, Trump is blaming the “abortion issue”. This will not go down well with pro-lifers.
Add to that, he wants to tear up the Constitution. He held a gala for LGBTxyz when the “Marriage Act” was passed and declared “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” Just before the mid-term election, he picked a spat with DeSantis and threatened to reveal his secrets.
This outburst from Trump has only come up in the past few days. Watch for the reactions from pro-life groups in coming days.
A few more links.

Not exactly a long, long time ago, businesses and service providers had to use snail mail to send promotional, marketing and whatever other messages they wanted us to read. This incurred them the cost of printing, paper, stationery, postage, labour and time.
Now, once they have your email address or mobile number, they can just send bulk messages and add to your junk mail. And then you have to unsubscribe or text STOP. Just got one of those unwanted “helpful advice messages” from my energy supplier and I have to send the STOP text message to some mobile number they have included in their message.

What would wasting money on an enquiry tell us that we don’t already know .. there has been only 2 changes in the world since the deaths increased .. BAT FLU & vaccine(s) .. so logic dictates it must be one or the other or both ..

The director of the National Weather Service, and the director of the Storm Prediction Center might need to do some reading (by the sound of their talking points) or possibly they are INTENTIONALLY OBFUSCATING when asked simple questions about current activities in regards to weather modification.
Using 1970’s “project stormfury” as an example when asked publicly about current operations… particularly the denial of current 2012, and 2013 operations.. saying that the NWS / NOAA quote “don’t know where” they are flying, saying the information is PRIVATE .. lol…
Nevermind there’s a NOAA weather modification form that must be filled out before operations begin.. nevermind results have to be reported to NOAA. Nevermind NOAA partnered up with Idaho Power to produce snow augmentation in 2012…… just a few examples of many, point being, they’re either MAJORLY ignorant on important weather related topics, or they are telling lies to hide current operations.
Classic spin, using outdated examples, along with literal denial of knowledge of said activities.
Watch the whole documentary here: Q&A with the USDA, Council on Foreign Relations, NWS, the Storm Prediction Center, and several others…
