A NY First as Right to Repair is Now Law

NY State is the first state in the country to pass a “Right to Repair” Law, a law preventing manufacturers from not allowing their customers to repair their own purchased product.  The bill also compels manufacturers to provide information on how to repair their products to customers and repair shops.

With the passage of the Right to Repair bill by a Democrat-controlled state, it lays down a challenge to Republican states to match NY State and deliver to more and more Americans the right to repair their own products, and to receive the information needed to be able to repair their products from the manufacturer.

The victory undermines the move towards a subscription-based society where property dies and a de facto serfdom takes its place.  It gives hope to farmers in rural states that their legislatures might move to free them from the tyranny that is John Deere, second only to Apple in working aggressively to prevent customers from repairing their own products.

John Deere is facing more and more lawsuits, with nine cases recently being consolidated into one suit now being considered by the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  Perhaps the NY Right to Repair Law will now hasten legislative release for farmers that can happen long before the judicial process runs its course.

 

Gender Language Wars- Biden Black Unsupport – AI Secret Language- More

Freedomist Daily Digest – Tuesday, June 7th, 2022

 

Editorial

Playing Their Gender Language Games Will Kill Your Liberty

The Social Construct Gender Game is a Language War Against The Right to the Pursuit of Happiness

Making gender a social construct is a way to reinforce the notion that the individual exists in the social.  The paradigm to be replaced is that the social emerges from the minds of individuals.  This is the underlying assumption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that the government derives its power from the consent of the individuals, as individuals (not as identity groups).

Government itself emerges from the minds of individuals.

By making gender a social construct, it creates a political factionalism in everyday language itself wherever an adoption of this new social reality is coerced on others, as it already has been in America. Dialectically, the alternative-gendered expression is considered individual expression, but it requires social coerced-conformity to be realized.

Imagine creating conditions in which people can lose their means to make a living for merely refusing to adopt to the top-down created and enforced new language standards, breaking the binary constructs overnight, non-consensually, using violence and economic terrorism to do it.

That’s what has already been happening in America today.

The social construct gender game is a philosophical game of sophistry designed to create a new justification for coercion based on the preservation and advancement of the social, where all individuals exist, outside the mind, inside the social institutions managed by experts that are paid by a handful of the most powerful at the top of another pyramid of top-down, monopolized power.

The goal is not to liberate the non-gendered or gender-fluid.  The goal is to change the right to rule standards of the land from an old to a new one.

Taiwan-US Announce Aggressive Path to Major Trade Deal

Taiwan looks to get a trade deal with the United States after the Biden administration left the nation out of a an economic deal with 13 other Asian countries.

US, Taiwan to launch trade talks after Joe Biden excludes island from Indo-Pacific group

From timesofindia.indiatimes.com
2022-06-01 14:43:27

Excerpt:

 

WASHINGTON: The United States will launch new trade talks with Taiwan, US officials said on Wednesday, just days after President Joe Biden launched an economic plan for Asia intended to push back on China that excluded the Chinese-claimed island.
Washington and Taipei will “move quickly to develop a roadmap” for the planned US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-century trade in the coming weeks, which would be followed by in-person meetings in the US capital later in June, two senior US administration officials told reporters.
The initiative would aim to “reach an agreement with high standard commitments that create inclusive and durable prosperity” on issues that include customs facilitation, fighting corruption, common standards on digital trade, labor rights, high environmental standards, and efforts to curb state-owned enterprises and non-market practices, one of the US officials said.
The bilateral initiative largely parallels the Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), an economic partnership with 13 Asian countries that he launched last week during a visit to Seoul and Tokyo. But the United States did not invite democratically self-governed Taiwan to join the IPEF talks.
Analysts had said other countries would be hesitant to join a grouping with the island for fear of angering Beijing, which regards Taiwan as its own territory. Over 200 members of the US Congress had urged Taiwan’s inclusion in IPEF.
The announcement on Taiwan talks came after a virtual meeting on Wednesday between deputy US trade representative Sarah Bianchi and Taiwan’s chief trade negotiator John Deng.
Speaking in Taipei, Deng said they hoped there would be an opportunity soon to seal a free trade deal Taiwan has long sought with the United States, adding the island was also still striving to participate in the IPEF.
The talks with Taiwan, led for Washington by the US trade representative’s office, would supplement several existing dialogues with the island, including one…

The Biden Blaxit Crisis Exposing the DNC’s Achilles Heel, Its Tokenism

Isaiah 32:7
As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.

Editor- Paul G Collier

Introduction- The Tactic of Hate, Fear, and False Hope

A sudden resignation of 21 black Americans from the Biden administration is producing a lot of head scratches from the Democrats, but the consequences of the strategy of amplified hate, fear, and false hope has left the party in power naked, even to its own most loyal members.

The Democrats long ago chose fear, hate, and false hope to attempt to destroy American individual liberty and replace it with soviet-styled centralism that claimed its authority from the existential crisis of widespread racism, bigotry, sexism, and non-heterophobia.  60 plus years into their project, the Democrats now have real proof of the spectacular fail of their project, and the people being targeted to hate so much that they fear enough to surrender their American freedoms are starting to catch on.

While Biden rose to power on the back of a mass mailer election and a promise to basically end the evil invented by the whites, the heterosexuals, the males, and the cis-gendered, it also made the reality of the empty promises of the anti-liberty, anti-American left all the more obvious.  There is no longer a promise to offer IF the Democrats seize total control of the state and the nation, for they have the power, and, even under Trump, they mostly have for the last 10 years, thanks mostly to the mergers of mega corps, making it easier for a few in a few boardrooms to control the cultural and social signals of an entire nation of 300 plus million souls.

The Tokens Chaffe at Tokenism

“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,” one current staffer told the outlet. “There is no real feedback and there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.”  – from NYPost

The ongoing Democrat Party narrative is that blacks, ‘people of color’ are unfairly held back by rampant white supremacism.  The only way these people can succeed in life is if whites step down from their advantaged positions and lift up blacks in their place.

This is a great idea when the policy is being enforced among the poor and middle class whites, but hardly one that will be faithfully followed by the whites that are primarily responsible for spreading and enforcing this anti-American ideology, where character and integrity of the individual is an afterthought and worth is determined by a biological caste system now morphing into an ideological one.

Blacks in the Democrat Party are being conditioned to expect results, success, advancement, based solely on their biology.  They’re being told they have special knowledge that will free the country from its sinful past.  They’re being willingly conditioned to accept the idea that, unless the person mentoring them is black, they can’t hope to advance in society.  They need blackness to function in a pluralistic government, apparently.

From Politico:
They described an operation in which mentorship is hard to come by and opportunity to move up the ranks of a tight-knit operation is exceptionally rare.

“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,” said one of the current Black White House officials. “There is no real feedback and there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.”

Blacks that answered the call to liberate the nation from white supremacism expected the blueblood ‘antiracists’ to reflect the full content of the ‘character’ their decrees reflected.  What they most likely found was something else, a clique of rich white children in most significant positions of power who had no intention of being one of those poor or middle class whites that would step down and remove their power so that white supremacism might finally die and the world be cured of the disease of evil.

The Real White Supremacism

They discovered they were tokens, not humans, in the Democrat Party, the party of dialectical White Supremacism that drives the POC and the non-Heterosexuals to assault, especially the rising power of the middle class in a time when technology is creating small-scale sustainable thriving.

The wealthy white Democrat Party activist is assured the consequences of their anti-white agenda won’t fall back on them, for their wealth insulates them from such corporate and state limitations, and Biden’s Democrat Party is dominated by these white supremacists, people who spread the myth that the white race is the most powerful race in the world.  The only way to stop this race that invented evil is to end the very concept of the white race altogether, and the rich white Democrats will be the allies, the enforcers of the code that allows blacks and gays to throw off the shackles of slavery, only to be wholly dependent on these same rich white allies to protect them against the vast unwashed whites still frothing for a return to a power they never actually had.

The disenfranchised blacks appear to be upset that they have not been given the promise the rich white Democrats delivered, a world that caters to their race and fetishes it above all others, a world in which your blackness makes you a de facto PhD on any topic that might come up.   The reality was they were merely tokens hired to insulate these same powerful white Democrats from their own racist, exploitive, discriminatory past, present, and future.

Predictability Analysis

Even as I write this, blacks are forming their own diverse identities, even within the Democrat Party itself.  These identities are increasingly unaligned with the oppressive police-state solutions of the Democrat Party.  As the consequences of the Democrat Party’s virtually seditious acts continue to be felt, more and more blacks, people of color, non-heterosexuals, will find the cost of being the fetish in society is a diminishment of real personal and community power, as the ‘disenfranchised’ become more and more dependent on the white-controlled centers of corporate and state power that exploits their real suffering for rich white controlled corporate and state institutions.

As black Americans learn the cost of believing they can’t function in society unless they have fellow blacks around them to mentor them (in a society that is only 14 percent black), they will become less and less monolithic, less and less controllable by the same party that once fought to keep them enslaved.  If we are to be America, we must become color-blind.  Until we do, you, black America, are not free.  If you want to end racism in America, you must first decide if you want to be one, and that means rejecting the Democrat Party and its Marxist-like racist, bigoted ways.

If character and integrity can only be seen in people that look like you, you have become the hate you fear, and this, I believe, is what black America is learning as more of the fruit of the policies of the racist, bigoted, anti-American party, the Democrat Party, come to plain light, unconcealable by the corporate and state powers that be, powers still controlled by rich white Democrats.

DeSantis Protects Homes from Mob Invasion – Feed Stories – 22-05-17

Gov. DeSantis signs bill banning protests in front of homes

Excerpt:

Anyone who protests in front of a private residence in Florida can face jail time and fines under a bill signed Monday.

The legislation makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500.

Protesters can only be arrested after ignoring law enforcement’s orders to disperse, however.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the new law will prevent protests in Florida like those waged by abortion rights protesters in front of U.S. Supreme Court justices’ homes in Virginia.

Court rejects sweeping school mask mandates in Iowa; allows exceptions

From www.desmoinesregister.com

Excerpt:

 

Iowa school districts will no longer be allowed to issue sweeping mask mandates, a federal appeals court panel ruled Monday.

The 2-1 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit has lifted an earlier court order that blocked a state law banning the mandates, ruling that the order is now moot due to lower coronavirus transmission and wider vaccine availability.

But the panel also emphasized that Iowa’s law does not apply in situations where a school would need to require masks to comply with another federal or state law. That leaves the door open for schools to continue to require masks in certain circumstances as an accommodation for students with disabilities in order to comply with federal law, said the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, which is representing a group of families suing the state.

The decision is the latest development in the months-long legal battle over Iowa’s local mask mandate ban.

Texas Supreme Court partially blocks cases investigating Trans families

From www.losangelesblade.com
2022-05-13 20:28:49

Excerpt:

 

AUSTIN – The Texas Supreme Court Friday ruled that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) can continue to investigate families in the state who provide medically necessary care for their Trans children, excluding the parties in the litigation that brought the matter forward in a lawsuit filed in March.

The DFPS investigation into the Travis County family of a transgender teen that sued the state earlier this year was blocked by a lower appellate court injunction. The high court did uphold the injunction into that case barring further action by DFPS. However, the court struck down a statewide injunction issued by the lower court Friday on procedural grounds, leaving open the state’s ability to have DFPS once again investigate other families that provide gender-affirming care.

The justices however, questioned why DFPS had acted in the first case.

Alabama’s Transgender Youth Can Use Medicine to Transition, Judge Rules

Last year, a federal judge found that a similar law in Arkansas “would cause irreparable harm” as he blocked it from being enforced. The Arkansas law, known as the “Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act,” was passed by lawmakers after overriding a veto from Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, who contended that the legislation “puts a very vulnerable population in a more difficult position.”

Still, elected officials in conservative states have pursued a range of aggressive measures this year meant not just to limit transgender youth’s access to medical care but also to penalize parents and medical professionals who are helping them transition.

In Idaho, lawmakers advanced legislation that would alter the state’s genital mutilation law to make it an offense punishable to up to life in prison to provide gender-affirming care or help a child leave the state to obtain it.

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott told state agencies that medical care helping a child transition should…

Russian president Vladimir Putin once said that any more countries on Russia’s doorstep joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) constituted a threat to Russia, and would provoke “military and political consequences.”

In fact, Putin warned last year that NATO expanding its military infrastructure eastward into Ukraine would be a “red line” for Russia and perceived as a direct threat.

But three months into a Ukraine invasion that’s not going according to plan, and after two other countries close to Russia announced that they are joining NATO, Putin appears to be softening his tone, and resigning himself to the fact that NATO’s eastward expansion is happening anyway.

On Sunday, Finland—which shares an 800-mile border with Russia and was part of the Russian Empire for over a century—said it had applied to join NATO to ensure that its own national security would not be threatened by Russia in the future. On Monday, Sweden followed suit after a meeting…

Nonprofits want checks placed on ‘toxic’ Mark Zuckerberg

Nonprofits including the American Federation of Teachers, the Anti-Defamation League and the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD are throwing their weight behind a Meta shareholder effort to place checks on “toxic” Mark Zuckerberg’s power at the company’s board meeting next week, The Post has learned.

On Tuesday, the groups came out in support of two Meta shareholder resolutions that supporters say would give much-needed oversight of Instagram and Facebook, as well as examine the potential “dystopian downsides” of Zuckerberg’s metaverse push.

SumOfUs, a corporate accountability group working with several activist Meta shareholders, introduced the resolutions in April, as first reported by The Post.

The group points to three crises facing Meta as evidence of Zuckerberg’s failed leadership: privacy restrictions by Google and Apple that have damaged Meta’s advertising business, the growing momentum for antitrust lawsuits and bills targeting Meta and other big tech firms, as well as allegations that Zuckerberg has lied to investors and lawmakers about Instagram’s harmful effects on teens and other ills.

“Mark Zuckerberg is either unwilling or unable to run his company in a way that protects the best interests of Meta’s users or shareholders,” SumOfUs shareholder engagement advisor Christina O’Connell said on Tuesday. “We cannot let Mark Zuckerberg continue running Meta so recklessly.”

More than two decades ago, the United Nations created a program to curb the trafficking of small arms. It’s done nothing but fire blanks. So now, the U.N. wants to control bullets.

In 2001, the United Nations started the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat, and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. Its next meeting will be held in New York from June 27 to July 1.

The Programme isn’t a treaty. It’s a political gathering that’s meant to encourage voluntary cooperation. It meets every other year to produce an outcome document that’s politically (but not legally) binding.

It’s supposed to work by unanimous consent.

The Programme has achieved very little, if anything. That’s not just my view. The U.N. secretary-general said so in 2008. New Zealand said so in 2012. Its supporters said it was “firing blanks” in 2014. In 2018, the Red Cross said that governments in the Programme talk a lot, but do nothing.

In practice, that suits most of the U.N. fine: All the nations get credit for participating in the Programme while actually doing nothing, while the Programme focuses on peripheral issues, such as 3D-printed guns.

Ground broken on project leading to conversion of biogas into renewable natural gas

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ/Roanoke Gas Release/Western Virginia Water Authority Release) – Western Virginia Water Authority and Roanoke Gas Company have broken ground on part of a joint project to produce commercial quality renewable natural gas, or RNG, from biogas produced at the Roanoke Regional Water Pollution Control Plant.

The product, which both agencies cite as the first of its kind in the Commonwealth, will need a digester gas conditioning system and interconnect facility at the Water Pollution Control Plant. It was groundbreaking for that project that took place Tuesday.

The agencies say biogas, also known as digester gas in wastewater treatment, a mixture of methane (63%) and carbon dioxide (37%), is produced as a “by-product of the anaerobic digestion treatment process as bacteria consume the organic solids that are removed earlier in the wastewater treatment process. Anaerobic digestion is employed at the WPC Plant as it is a much more energy efficient way to treat solids…

Excerpt:

Protests in Iran continued Monday as more Iranians took the streets to show their disdain for the regime in Tehran. Over the weekend reports said up to five people were killed following a crackdown by authorities.

Protesters, showing no fear of retribution by the state security services have been heard shouting, “Death to Khamenei! Death to Raisi!” referring to Iranian…

Legal Insurrection readers have been keeping up with the news about the swarm of covid infections hitting the vaccinated and boosted among Washington DC insiders. The infected include Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi.

Now the media is slowly revealing what many of us have known for some time. The vaccines aren’t as effective at preventing covid as initially advertised.

To begin with, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal revealed that state health data indicate the vaccinated are contracting covid at about the same rates as the vaccinated. Interestingly, the disparity in health outcomes has also become less substantial.

The [Wisconsin department of Health Services] DHS found that in March, those not fully vaccinated were being diagnosed with COVID-19 at a similar rate as those who were fully vaccinated. To be exact, people not fully vaccinated were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a rate 1.1 times higher than people who were fully vaccinated. The state attributes this…

Excerpt:

 

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley want the US attorney in Delaware to divulge whether a senior Justice Department official recused himself from the federal tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden due to his links to the first son’s lawyer.

Nicholas McQuaid, who leads the Justice Department’s criminal division, formerly worked with Hunter Biden’s lawyer Chris Clark at the large multinational law firm Latham & Watkins.

Johnson (R-Wis.) and Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote to US Attorney David Weiss, saying that Attorney General Merrick Garland ignored three letters they sent last year regarding McQuaid’s possible recusal from the Weiss-led investigation.

REVEALED: Biden’s new press secretary made ‘stolen election’ claims against Republicans

From thepostmillennial.com
2022-05-09 20:03:25

Excerpt:

 

In a tweet from 2020, incoming White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Georgia’s contentious gubernatorial race in 2018 was stolen from romance novelist and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.

 

“Reminder,” Jean-Pierre wrote in response to an article about Governor Brian Kemp’s handling of Covid-19 in the early days of the pandemic, “Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.”
In 2018, Abrams refused to concede the election despite losing. Abrams is running again, against the man who won the first time, incumbent Governor Brian Kemp. Abrams has gone on to defend her unwillingness to concede.
She lost by 1.4 points. Her refusal to concede was over allegations of voter suppression. She said that a concession would be to acknowledge that “an action is right, true or proper,” and that she couldn’t do it.

Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), a graduate of GW Law, attacked Professor Jonathan Turley for defending President Donald Trump during his impeachment hearings, saying Turley had used his position for “wrongful ends.”

“You must be wary of those seeking to use their influence and their expertise to wrongful ends,” Wild told the graduates.

Turley is a nationally recognized legal scholar and frequent pundit on legal matters and holds expertise in constitutional law. But despite his classical liberal leanings, he has become a fan favorite among conservatives for calling out the excesses of the progressive left.

Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney reached a new milestone in her transition from a center-right lawmaker to a full-blown collaborator in the left’s cultural revolution within 18 months. On Monday, Cheney claimed, without evidence, members of GOP House leadership where she was expelled last May are enablers of white supremacy.

“The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and antisemitism,” Cheney wrote on Twitter. “History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. [GOP] leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.”

The post was published Monday morning after an 18-year-old shooter allegedly killed 10 people in a Buffalo supermarket on Saturday. Moments before the killing spree, in which the majority of victims were black, the white shooter published an online “manifesto” airing antisemitic grievances in 180 pages where he also showcased anxiety over “replacement.”…

As Roe v. Wade repeal looms, video game industry stays mostly silent” is an actual headline from The Washington Post, a formerly reputable newspaper that seems to have gone completely insane in its support of abortion rights.

As pro-abortion and pro-life activists continue to spar over the future of Roe as a Supreme Court ruling in another abortion case approaches, the radical left and its media allies are beginning to put the screws to companies to toe the line and come out in favor of abortion.

Some large companies have done so, seemingly of their own volition. Amazon, as well as Microsoft, Airbnb, Apple, and Citigroup are just some of the businesses that have announced they will pay out-of-state travel costs for employees to get abortions if the state they live in curtails the procedure.

But to leftists, nothing but complete and utter obedience and obeisance will suffice, so they’ve moved on to pressuring companies to support their policies even…

Excerpt:

 

A Democratic state representative from Connecticut is criticizing her own party’s platform on abortion as “extreme,” saying pro-life Democrats like her are being shunned.

Connecticut state Rep. Trenee McGee, a Democrat who represents New Haven and West Haven and was elected last year, said on the latest episode of The Church Politics Podcast that “there are many pro-life Democrats” nationwide that have been “pushed out” by the party.

The Democratic Party platform, she said, “went from safe, legal and rare to extreme.” The party’s platforms in 19962000 and 2004 said abortion should be “rare.” The 20082012 and 2016 platforms removed that word yet still listed a goal to “reduce the need for abortions.” The 2020 platform did not include language about reducing abortions or making them rare.

Many people in the pro-choice movement, McGee said, have become radical.

The omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 that has swept across the U.S. since late last year has taken a grimmer toll than earlier variants, including in people who were vaccinated and even had booster shots.

That’s according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which found that 42% of COVID fatalities in January and February were of vaccinated people, compared with 23% of the dead in September, when the delta variant was still dominant.

The data are based on the date of infection and limited to a sampling of cases in which vaccination status was known, the paper reported. The deaths were mostly in elderly people and people with compromised immune systems. Almost two-thirds of those people who died during omicron were aged 75 and older.

Pushing forward Chinese President Xi Jinping’s concept of a “Global Security Initiative”, an important Chinese official has said that the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States, “if left unchecked”, would bring “horrible consequences and push the Asia-Pacific over the edge of an abyss”.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng, who is one of the top contenders to succeed Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also said, “Rather than learning the painful lessons of conflict and suffering in Europe, they seek to create a “second theatre” and bring the conflict to the Asia-Pacific.”

Beijing refers to the Indo-Pacific as Asia-Pacific, and Vice Foreign Minister Le has been one of the voices presenting the Chinese government’s view on developments in the region. Le, a former Chinese ambassador to Le spoke about a “global NATO”, and responded to concerns over China’s “no-limits” partnership with Russia, in the context of the invasion of Ukraine.
