The DNC is attempting to finally push through its mail-in voting bill that seems designed to make it easier to certify elections by the FEC by rmoving the bipartisan requirement the FEC currently has in place.
National Review caught that little FEC bit buried deep in the bill and offered an effective description of the nature of the part of the Orwellian-named the Freedom to Vote Act, which should be renamed the Freedom to Control Mass Mailer Elections Bill.
Tucked inside a supposedly ‘moderate’ voting bill is a provision that would empower a lone bureaucrat to wield outsized control over elections.
Deep inside the Democrats’ latest “compromise” proposal on elections and campaign finance is a new cup of poison for free speech and fair campaigns.
Of course, the sponsors bragged that they dropped some controversial provisions. One such provision altered the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which polices campaign-finance laws, from a bipartisan agency to one with a partisan majority appointed by the president.
The bill, now dubbed the Freedom to Vote Act, abandons that direct attempt to give the president a partisan majority at the FEC. But it still abolishes the principle of bipartisan approval of enforcement actions. Even worse, it rigs court review of FEC decisions…
At this moment, the Orwellian Freedom to Vote Act faces a final hurdle, the filibuster. Fox News created an effective headline that made clear this bill was no mere voting reform bill, it will fundamentally change the way we have conducted voted, allowing for wholesale opportunities for fraud at multiple levels, from the village to the nation.
The Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote Wednesday afternoon to end a filibuster on an election bill that would impose national standards on how states conduct federal elections, including requirements for mail-in voting and automatic voter registration.
Democrats’ efforts to break the filibuster are expected to fail, as they would need ten Republicans to achieve the necessary 60 votes to move forward on the bill. So far, no Republican appears to be in favor of this.
The 592-page bill, known as the “Freedom to Vote Act,” includes sweeping reforms that include the requirement of states to provide automatic voter registration, as well as online and same-day registration. It also calls for making Election Day a public holiday.
Several provisions in the bill call for significant expansion of absentee voting by mail. It prohibits states from placing any conditions or…
The usual suspects decided to be the emotional glitter grandstanders of the DNC, with Alyssa Milano being the main story on that front, getting herself arrested protesting the failure to pass the Orwellian named Freedom to Vote Act. Note that The Hill headline chose to couch the bill as a “voting rights act,” making this publication complicit in the effort to trick the American people to accept a fundamentally un-democratic, un-republican method of voting, mass mailer voting, and certification that no longer required bipartisan support.
Actress Alyssa Milano was arrested during a voting rights protest at the White House on Tuesday as the Senate gears up for a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, a scaled-back version of the voting rights bill that Senate Republicans blocked in June.
Milano announced her arrest in a tweet Tuesday afternoon. She said she had been demonstrating with People for the American Way, a progressive nonprofit organization that advocates for equal rights and constitutional liberties.
The actress said she was arrested “for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate to use their mandate to protect voting rights.”
“Stand with me and [People for the American Way] and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on where you live,” she added.
I was just arrested for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate to use their mandate to protect voting rights. Stand with me and @peoplefor and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on…
Reuters follows the Hill in choosing to couch this bill as a rights bill and not a mass mailer election bill. There has, to date, been minimal effort by the DNC media to explain to the American people what this bill actually is beyond using words like rights and words like racist to define election standards that seek to preserve the reliabilty of Democratic elections (like voter ID, like not having mass mailer elections, like not using foreign companies to run our digital ballots, etc).
Would the American people really support mass mailer Presidential elections if it was made clear to them that this is what this bill creates? Reuters certainly isn’t interested in serving you with this information, putting the DNC agenda ahead of journallism once again.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Democrats on Wednesday will try for the third time this year to advance a voting rights bill aimed at thwarting new balloting restrictions passed in Republican-led states, fueled by Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.
The chamber’s 50 Republicans are expected to block the measure from advancing, a move that could bring new pressure on Democrats to change the Senate’s “filibuster” rule that requires a supermajority of 60 votes to pass most legislation.
Senator Angus King, an independent who aligns with Democrats, told reporters that if Republicans again block the bill, “we would either have to figure out a rule change or we have to try to have discussions toward a compromise solution.”
Many Democrats have been calling for a scaling back or elimination of the filibuster to make it easier to pass President Joe Biden’s agenda over the objections of top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell.
The GOP are not a reliable lot, and all it takes is a few to be peeled off by promises of being liked by people who not so secretly think they’re really just all racists and bigots and should all be permanently cancelled. The GOP loves the abuse, it seems, so forcasting an outcome for this is a bit difficult given the malleability of this party. But if I had to bet a donut, and I just might, but only certain kinds (not all donuts are equal), I’d go with a filibsuter being successful at stopping this bill.
But if the bill passes, the GOP, or any other DNC opponent, will never win a race the DNC wants to win ever again, though I don’t imagine that power will last long once it becomes clear what it does when the overwhelming majority choose against the DNC.
Of coruse, I should add, the next battle will be the courts, and then states will pass laws denying the Federal ones, and those laws will go to the courts. The final decision most likely will not happen before the 2022 election, meaning, even if the bill passes, it won’t be implemented in this election cycle, making the 2022 election criticial for any who oppose the DNC.
The problem is this, that opposition is mostly found dependent on the GOP, andd the GOP, at the top at least, is run by collusionists, so even if the GOP wins, it will not effectively halt the DNC advance, set to resume after 2024, after the GOP allows the Freedom to Vote Act to take effect. But maybe I’m just being cynical.
With the recent targeting of Steve Bannon, a man once on the right side of Donald J Trump in the beginning of his Presidency, by the January 6th Committee, recommending contempt charges against him for not answering what some consider to be a dubiously legally binding subpoena, the real target, the real purpose of the January 6th Committee seems more to do with the prevention of Donald J Trump possibly winning back the Presidency in 2024.
The January 6th Event, sometimes called a protest gone wrong, sometimes called a riot gone wrong, sometimes called an insurrection, is taken as fact by the press that covers this event as a near-apocolyptic catastrophe as a few hundred mostly middle class Americans came close to taking down the whole government by sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s chair. The headlines here, the tone of all of the news blurbs we share in this report reflect that assumption not only in the titles, but in the articles themselves.
We start with the ABC News item that suggests the committee is really about weening the Republicans off Donald J Trump, and Liz Cheney is the poster child of that Trump weening wish for the DNC. It appears, rightly or wrongly, the DNC still greatly fears the type of coalition Donald J Trump might be able to build in 2024,
As for Tuesday night’s message, the committee’s Republican vice chairman, Rep. Liz Cheney, was front and center to directly address for her fellow members of the GOP.
“Almost every one of my colleagues knows, in your hearts, that what happened on Jan. 6 was profoundly wrong,” said Cheney, R-Wyo.
She added that Trump repeats false claims about the last election “almost daily”: “This is a prescription for national self-destruction.”
Cheney’s view remains that of a distinct minority, both among her House colleagues and with the broader public, at least in terms of what they will say publicly. A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday showed that 78% of Republicans want Trump to run again, up 12 points since May…….
Hours before the Bannon-related vote, Trump mocked the committee — particularly its two Republican members — and said in a statement that the “highly partisan Unselect Committee continues to rock and roll.”
Whatever that means, committee members — especially those Republicans — are playing tunes that might be uncomfortable for the former president to hear.
Here we see two DNC organs of agit prop covering the news that the committee was recommending contenpt charges against Steve Bannon. The first link is a video link in which the legal questionability of the subpoena itself is not consdered at all. Bannon is simply characterized as defying the committee’s subpoena.
The Jan. 6 House select committee voted unanimously on Tuesday night to refer Steve Bannon to the Justice Department for criminal contempt charges for defying the subpoenas of the select committee regarding the Capitol insurrection.
The ultra-progressive DNC organ called Democracy Now chose to run a brief blurb on the news, omitting the legality question of the Committee to be able to issue subpoenas in the first place.
The House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection has recommended a criminal contempt charge against Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon for defying a congressional subpoena. This is the committee’s chair, Mississippi Congressmember Bennie Thompson.
Rep. Bennie Thompson: “The rule of law remains under attack right now. If there are no accountability for these abuses, if there are different sets of rules for different types of people, then our democracy is in serious trouble.”
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, speaks before voting to hold Trump ally Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Here is a video link from a former US Attorney General, who had some words of warning for Joe Biden regarding his January 6th Committee, Perhaps Joe is recommending action that should, could, or might in the near future, get some of his compatriots locked up as well. Spoiler alert a little late, Joe is recommending Bannon be jailed.
Former US Attorney Preet Bharara discusses President Biden’s comments about what the Department of Justice should do to those who defy subpoenas from the January 6th committee.
The former Chief of Staff of Donald J Trump who served during the January 6th Event, Mark Meadows, has retained a high profile lawyer, George Terwilliger, to represent him, as the committtee has made it clear he is a target of their ‘investigation.’
Terwilliger is influential and well known in the D.C. legal arena. He spent 15 years at the Justice Department, serving as deputy attorney general when former Trump DOJ chief Bill Barr had his first stint as attorney general and later assumed the top DOJ role in an acting capacity.
Over the years Terwilliger has worked on a host of politically charged legal fights, including on George W. Bush’s legal team during the 2000 Florida recount and representing Bush-era attorney general Alberto Gonzales in the wake of the U.S. attorneys scandal. More recently, Terwilliger represented former Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) when the Justice Department probed Schock for corruption. DOJ dropped the charges against Schock and reached a settlement with him.
Meadows, meanwhile, is a central focus for the Jan. 6 select committee.
The committee subpoenaed him on Sept. 23 and has since said that he’s engaging with its investigators. Steve Bannon, another Trump World denizen subpoenaed the same…
As the shortages increase and gas prices rise, including oil, just in time for colder weather, the significance of this committee will retrieve further and further into the backdrop, becoming a petty political kabuki theater and nothing more. The end result of this committee most likely will be shouted headlines that no one is reading declaring once again the republicans are evil and not even Americans, while supporting a party that wishes to end free speech, gun rights, and even the very concepts of man and woman themselves, a party that equates the Bill of Rights, our nation’s most impactful shared identity across all lines, with white supremacism.
That’s the party calling anyone else in America un-american, the party that topples Washington statues and cheers when Marvel changes the Superman slogan from “The American Way,” to “Until There’s a Better Tomorrow,” that party.
At least 11 state-level school boards are now distancing themselves from or outright condemning a National School Boards Association letter to President Joe Biden that called upon the Justice Department to investigate allegations of threats and violence at school board meetings.
Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo earlier this month warned of a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against schools and said the DOJ will “discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate.”
The NSBA had argued in late September that “the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
State-level school boards in Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Tennessee have now joined Louisiana and Virginia in criticizing the NSBA’s letter and made it clear they had not been…
The United States on Thursday regained a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, which the Trump administration abandoned in 2018 because of what it called the body’s hypocrisy and anti-Israel prejudice.
In seeking to rejoin the 47-member council, the Biden administration, which has taken a far more supportive stance toward the United Nations than its predecessor, argued that American interests would be better served if the United States were a member seeking change from within.
The United States won a three-year term for one of 18 open seats on the council, starting in January, in a vote by the 193-member General Assembly.
Based in Geneva, the council is regarded as the world’s most important human rights body. While it has no criminal enforcement or sanctioning powers, the council can undertake investigations that help shape the global image of countries. It can also exert influence on their behavior if they are deemed to have poor rights records.
Pa. State System university enrollment craters to lowest level in over 30 years
Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities lost another 5,000-plus students this fall, dropping total head count enrollment below 89,000 — a level not seen in three-plus decades, dating nearly to the system’s founding — according to just released data Monday.
The 5.4% downturn and anticipated loss of more than $36 million in tuition revenue is likely to further complicate efforts to redesign the State System of Higher Education and merge six of its universities — California, Clarion and Edinboro in the west, plus Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield in the northeast — into two institutions.
However, the drop from a year ago to a degree was anticipated — at least internally. While not offering a number, State System leaders, including Chancellor…
SINGAPORE—China’s Communist Party is ratcheting up its control over news media and online commentary, warning away private investors and cracking down on what it describes as misinformation, as it continues a campaign to assert itself more forcefully across the economy and Chinese society.
The country’s central economic planning agency released on Friday a draft regulation that promised to expand restrictions on the involvement of “nonpublic capital” in swaths of the news industry—a warning to news organizations with private funding to step carefully, according to analysts.
On the same day, authorities in southern China detained a well-known former journalist for allegedly insulting national martyrs in a post on social media that questioned the Communist Party’s account of the Korean War.
Both events come on the heels of other tightening moves, including a decision by China’s internet regulator at the end of August to muzzle over 1,000 independent…
After America’s seeming hasty retreat from Afghanistan, the news coming out from the embattled country has not been good. With critical industries within Afghanistan collapsing, the nation now in the hands of a far-right Islami-fascist regime, the Taliban might be set up to receive massive amounts of humanitarian aid from multiple powers, including the United States, Germany, the EU, and even Russia, with more sure to follow.
Here is how the media is covering the emerging story. For the most part, the headlines tend to be relevently inocuous,, with little context considered for the potential controversy of America now funding an enemy, the Taliban, shortly after losing a war to the same enemy.
The United Sates has agreed to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan – according to the Taliban.
It follows two days of talks between delegates – the first face to face meeting between the two sides since the Taliban took control of the country in August.
The meetings focused on security and terrorism concerns, the rights of women and girls – as well as continuing evacuations out of Afghanistan.
The US has insisted the talks did not amount to formal recognition of the Taliban.
The bloc’s chief makes the pledge at a G20 summit addressing humanitarian and security situations in Afghanistan.
The European Union has pledged a one-billion-euro ($1.15bn) aid package for Afghanistan, “to avert a major humanitarian and socioeconomic collapse”, the bloc’s chief Ursula von der Leyen has said.
The money adds 250 million euros ($288m) to a 300-million-euro ($346m) sum the EU previously announced for urgent humanitarian needs, with the remainder going to Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries taking in Afghans fleeing Taliban rule, a statement said on Tuesday.
Von der Leyen made the pledge at a virtual G20 summit hosted by Italy dedicated to discussing the humanitarian and security situation in Afghanistan.
After a previous G7 meeting on Afghanistan following the August takeover by the Taliban, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi had been pushing for a broader discussion involving other world powers.
The G20 includes the United States, EU, China, Turkey,…
“Then humanitarian aid can no longer be provided. Of course it’s never easy to draw the line, so to speak, but to look on as 40 million people descend into chaos because there’s no electricity supply or financial system – that cannot and must not be the goal of the international community.”
NUR-SULTAN (UrduPoint News / Sputnik – 12th October, 2021) Russia and several other countries want to propose holding a new conference under the auspices of the United Nations on humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
“With regard to humanitarian aid, we, together with a number of other countries, want, in particular, during the Moscow format meetings to propose holding a conference under the auspices of the UN to provide assistance, including humanitarian assistance to this country,” Lavrov told reporters.
An ongoing volcano on the Canary Islands is causing local destruction and threatens the American East Coast with some degree of disruption as well. The volcano is called the La Palma Volcano. It has been spewing for over 2 weeks now, but there does seem to be an end in sight. Here is the latest on this developing story.
Drone footage has captured blocks of red-hot magma – some of which were the size of three-storey buildings, the Spanish Institute of Geology and Mining said – flowing down the hillside from La Palma’s Cumbre Vieja volcano.
Satellites have captured stunning new images of the intensifying volcanic eruption on the Spain-owned island of La Palma as new streams of lava spilled out over the weekend.
The revitalized volcanic eruption was accompanied by boulders the size of a house rolling out of the Cumbre Vieja volcano’s crater, where part its cone collapsed on Saturday (Oct. 9), as locals reported dozens of Earth tremors up to 3.8 magnitude since Sunday. The reports signal Cumbre Vieja was still far from going to sleep.
The European Earth-observing satellite Sentinel-2 caught a glimpse on Sunday of the new lava streams that squirted out of the fiery volcano after the partial collapse of its conical crater that had formed since the beginning of the eruption on Sept. 19. The collapse freed the way for the up to 2,264 degrees Fahrenheit (1,240 degrees Celsius) hot lava to spill in new directions. A powerful sizzling stream quickly formed north of the original lava river and found a path downhill toward the…
It seems Joe Biden is losing critical support among independents according to a new Associated Press-NORC poll that shows President Biden’s approval rating among independents is at an all-time low of 38 percent, with 62 percent disapproving.
The Associated Press-NORC poll shows that Biden’s approval rating sits at 50% while his disapproval rating stands at 49%. In this particular poll, Biden’s approval has tanked nearly 10 points since July when the same survey found Biden’s approval rating to be 59%.
But the real story is how poorly Biden is viewed by independent voters, the demographic critical to winning the White House.
Since July, Biden has hemorrhaged more than 20 points among independent voters; only 38% of independents now approve of Biden, according to the poll, whereas 62% approved of him just two months ago. Biden even lost seven points among Democrats, down to 85% approval from 92% in July.
Among black Americans, Biden’s support has cratered from 86% to 64% in just two months. The AP tried to soften…
The Silicon Valley giant, Facebook, faces a class-action lawsuit in Israel for allegedly violating its anti-discrimination job advertising laws. Facebook’s allowance of advertisers to target certain demographics for job advertising is a violation of Israel’s anti-discrimination advertising laws.
A class-action lawsuit filed in Israel against Facebook charges that ads on the social media giant violate the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, which prohibits the posting of discriminatory job ads.
Israeli employment law, like that in most Western countries, states that a job advertisement cannot discriminate by age, gender, race, political beliefs or other variables. The law allows for anyone affected by such discrimination to be compensated for NIS 50,000, without proof of damage.
“Years ago that meant that a company couldn’t write explicitly in a job ad that it was only looking for, say, white males aged 25-40,” explained attorney Dr. Matan Gutman, who filed the case at the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court. “But Facebook’s ad system allows companies to discriminate in a more elegant way – by offering the options to target only certain types of people. That would be equivalent to a newspaper offering its clients the option to target only certain readers, which would clearly be prohibited. But Facebook publishes thousands of such job ads in Israel every year.”
