Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 30, 2022

Next step, Burqas, just in case.

Aren’t the police supposed to be the “good guys with guns” that are supposed to protect and save everyone?

Every technology from fire and the wheel thru nuclear power and the internet can be used for good or ill. It’s up to us voters to choose lawmakers who can tell the difference.

If a 16 year old said that she wanted to adopt, she would be told that she was not yet mature enough for the responsibility, and wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of raising a child. But in some states, if she’s raped or molested, or if the pregnancy turns out to be ectopic (fatal for the pregnant, non-viable for the fetus), or otherwise deadly and/or nonviable, too bad. Now they’re working on banning birth control, the pregnant crossing state lines, and arresting woman for having a miscarriage, as well as outlawing interracial marriages, and also outlawing marriage (and the accompanying rights) for the non-binary. So much for “the party of small government and personal responsibility”.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g2CqOrFGak

And if pregnant then imprisoned until she has the baby just in case she might have other ideas about her own body than having a baby.

I’m a man and don’t like abortions, HOWEVER I will not impose my will on someone else.

If you are going to force a woman to carry to term are you willing to support the woman and child for the rest of their lives or are you going to abandon them at the moment of birth? Are you going to abandon them to a life of misery?

Just read that the FAKE Christians are taking over the GOP as if that is news!!

The Government can’t force you to give blood. Or donate organs. They can’t even use your organs to save lives after your dead unless you consented to it while alive. But they can force a woman to give birth?

To Republicans, a woman has less rights than a corpse.

Have a nice Memorial Day everyone.

In contemporary WOKE America it would be the man pushing the button to see if he was preggo. And, according to the Liberaloonies, he could be.

I remember when “baby killer” was the worst insult you could throw at a returning Vietnam vet, usually from the left, and now they embrace the concept.

I live in one of those states that require a birth certificate to use a public bathroom. That’s not government interference, it’s protecting American values.

Sadly, Wiley’s gonna get some flack from the Reich about THIS ONE!!!!!

“…Might…”?

The government doesn’t have to do a thing expect look up the databases of the private companies. It’s all in there.

Must be the state line

Would not be surprised if airlines/Greyhound refuse to transport women across state (from red states) lines unless they are negative on a pregancy test least they are sued for aiding and abettng in an abortion.

This brings up an interesting point; will women in the Red States have to register if/when they become pregnant? Will the State monitor women during childbearing years to ensure they don’t try to make any independent decisions about being/becoming pregnant?

That will never happen, you say.

You are a trouble maker with your fantasies; the anti-choice people scream at my post.

True, I am a muckraker. However, I wonder how many Japanese Americans living up and down the west coast could have envisioned being taken from their homes and interned in detention camps during WWII simply because they looked like the enemy? I wonder how many Jews said Hitler was an idiot and would not amount to anything in the 1920s? Finally, I wonder how many women thought that the Choice question was settled 50 years ago when the SCOTUS said a woman has sovereignty over her own body?

When it comes to human beings, if you can imagine it, someone out there will eventually try to do it. Right now, a large section of the country wants women’s uterus to become the property of the state. We will see what the future brings.

And the children forced to be born from this system should all be named Clay.

Middle name Pigeon.

Since their purpose seems to be fodder for mass shootings,and why GOP doesn’t care about them after they’re no longer a fetus, they figure they’ll survive until they are school age.

Can’t have the poor gunmen run out of targets now, can we?

Are we going to have to create a “Civilian Memorial Day” to remember all the people killed by the Moronic G.I. Joe Wanna-be Cosplayers and Criminal Lunatics trying to “prove their manhood” by waving around and shooting off their Penis Extensions in public??

Is this what American soldiers fought and died for?

Remember the soldiers who serve all the rest

The few and the brave and the best of the best

In duty and honor and humility

They’ve all given some and some give all for thee.

Can’t like this one or comment today. The issues are too important and the divides too deep.

Thank you, Wiley.

As stated in today’s “This Modern World”:

We need to give every teacher an AR-15 of their own! And the kids, too! It’s just common sense! You can’t expect the cops to rush in when there’s some nut with a gun shooting everyone! (snark!)

Well, this is freakin’ terrifying and deserves a second posting.

I laughed and then I groaned and then I became p*ssed.

Wait ‘til you see what the billionaires meeting at Davos have planned for us. A pill that contains a microchip that can be read to determine your vaccination status. A way to track everyone’s carbon footprint and then stop a person from emitting more when they reach the limit that has been set for them. (This second one won’t apply to the billionaires of course because they NEED their jets to fly everywhere).

After Trump became president again all raped women were forced to deliver their attackers babies.

Many warriors fight and die for each other more than they fight and die for a cause, a country, and especially for a corporation. But they do fight and die for each other and we remember that.

The day is not about hotdogs, beer, and getting the boat into the water. It’s not about the start of your summer. It’s something about why you end up getting to enjoy those things.

Too late. The genie is out of the bottle and you can’t put him or wish him back in…..

thanks to all the brave men and women who lost their lives in service to OUR country.

The self-proclaimed pro-life* crowd is entirely too obsessive about the imaginary people they claim to be concerned about. They need to calm down, switch off their circuit diagrams, get out of their blueprints, sit in the shade of their acorns, listen to the pleasant songs of the eggs, and stop to smell the pollen.

*short for “proliferators”

Since the sign reported, “Not pregnant,” I assumed this had something to do with women’s access to abortions, not overreaching police power … though they are different peas in the same pod.

With new installations, you can just wave at the switch to find out if you are pregnant. Note this appears to be a “people” pregnancy test rather than a “woman” pregnancy test. :)

Terribly prescient

I don’t share the paranoia; when we predict things we are almost always wrong

the idea of pushing a button and having it ‘tell’ if you’re pregnant for the police to ‘track’ you??? OHFG…

‘Who Will Be the Last to Die?’ by Leonard Pitts Jr. Read it and weep.

As usual, Wiley Miller is right on, and sarcastically funny. Much respect for his artful wit and wisdom.

I’m concerned about the woman at the other sign. What does the sign disclose that causes a cop with a body shield and billy club to rush her?

Justify your replies, please.

Next assignment: examine her to confirm she’s answering him honestly.

Democrats will get their buddies in big tech to reprogram those buttons to show who is packing a Weapon, then the Stormtrooper can bonk them on the head and off to the “reeducation camp” a la Clockwork Orange.

Maybe this is downtown Beijing. And nothing to do with Aldous Huxley or George Orwell

Way to close to the truth for comfort

Once the woman is pregnant, she must be restrained from doing ANYthing that might potentially harm that sacred fetus. That includes dangerous things like crossing a busy street . Why, if she’s not in custody she might eat the a cheeseburger or leave the red state to visit family and friends and get that abortion after she was raped. Women are not going to be citizens but broodmares, livestock to produce children that can grow up to be soldiers for the corporations.

Make no mistake, we have at most two more elections to turn back the “pro-life” conservatives. If we don’t, don’t think the Constitution will protect you, because it will be tossed out just like everything else the conservatives don’t like.

It’s all about power, control, and money and who has them.

Government intrusion? Corporate intrusion goes much much deeper.

Are those discarded masks by the garbage can? What is Wiley suggesting?

Well, well, well, Altered asexual finally admits it’s a pedo. No surprise there of course.

And it showed its more concerned about 2A than dead women and slaughtered children. Proving yet again it’s a total and complete Ultra POS.

“People are saying” they’re redirecting COVID relief funds for this in Texas. :-)

I want to get this, but I’m missing it.

Maybe (and I am very serious) 1. Have the first responders be the chief of police and his/her department/division heads every time a call about any kind of shooting is in progress.2. When they get there, body cams and all, have them wait 70 minutes before calling for back up.3. Oops! I almost forgot: No weapons of any kind for first responders.

So what if she is pregnant or not? She is still allowed to cross the street, I hope.

Good grief Wiley! Please don’t give those damned people any ideas. I had a visual of police ‘guarding’ neighborhoods in order to force pregnancy tests on women as they leave their homes.

Reminds me of the turnstile technology in Gattaca.

Thank you, Wiley. This woman understands, completely.

Sadly, Companies like Target already Have the kind of Data Mining applications that can detect Pregnancy before the Women even begins to suspect.

It had something to do with changes in their Buying Patterns as the hormones begin kicking in.

Must be texas
