If you haven’t been following the “Twitter Files” saga, the gist of it is that the US federal government routinely pressured pre-Musk Twitter, and likely other social media giants including Alpha (YouTube) and Meta (Facebook and Instagram), to stymie the dissemination of important information related to a certain infamous laptop, an important public health declaration, and various public disturbances in 2020 and early 2021, among other policy-relevant news items. The Twitter Files may expose one of the greatest breaches of the First Amendment in recent history, but there is plenty of precedent for federal government coercion of businesses, large and small. Almost 90 years ...
Wyoming Supreme Court sends “trigger law” back to district judge as plaintiffs and the state spar over whether there is a right to abortion in state constitution

For now at least, the Wyoming Supreme Court has declined to weigh in on a lawsuit that has temporarily halted a ban on abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or physical risk to the mother’s life. Ninth District Judge Melissa Owens asked the state’s highest court to respond to 12 questions regarding the constitutionality of House Bill 92. “Ten of the questions Owens certified to the state Supreme Court on Nov. 30 asked whether the ban violated provisions of the state constitution, among them a 2012 amendment guaranteeing adults the right to make their own health care decisions,” according to Mead Gruver of the Associated Press. “The case could yet go before the ...
Banking, Large Corporations, and Government Pawns Have Taken All the Wealth for Themselves at the Expense and Death of the Duped Masses

It is once again time to look at reality so as to comprehend the master plan of the ruling class, instead of concentrating only on the subordinate parts and compartmentalized agendas of those intent on destroying the earth and its inhabitants, all in order to gain total dominance over this world. In doing so, it is imperative to understand that in order to be successful, those seeking this great power must control the bulk of all the money, property, and natural resources on earth. This can only be accomplished if the enforcement of this control is concentrated in the hands of the rulers, and the people voluntarily comply. For this to be possible all state organizations must also be ...
Why Take Responsibility When You Can Blame Somebody Else?

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.) this month blamed Republicans for preventing Congress from enacting legislation that would make it easier for state-licensed marijuana businesses to access financial services. Yet Schumer himself has played a leading role in blocking the SAFE Banking Act, which passed the House last year with support from 106 Republicans and has bipartisan backing in the Senate. Schumer, who insisted that his own marijuana bill take priority and warned that approving the SAFE Banking Act would make federal legalization harder, wants reformers to forget that history of obstruction. Schumer's striking attempt to dodge responsibility for his own actions ...

It is with the greatest pleasure I learn that Douglas W. Heinrichs, MD, has accorded me the honor of replying to my criticism of his views on assisted dying. Dr. Heinrichs incorrectly surmises that I support medical aid in dying (MAID) for patients at the end of life. I do not. However, I do believe that to usefully discuss MAID at the present time, we must stipulate a wider context; for this is how MAID is now increasingly defined and practiced. Click for Full Text!
U.S. Power Companies Beg Customers to Turn Down Thermostats Amid Cold and Wind

On Friday, multiple U.S. power companies issued an emergency request to customers to turn down their thermostats due to extreme cold and wind straining the power grid. The requests lasted until Christmas Eve on Saturday and were said to be a result of “unprecedented” demand for power during last week’s storm and cold weather. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which supplies power to more than 10 million customers and boasts that the power they deliver is “nearly 60 percent carbon-free,” was forced to use “planned intermittent interruptions” during the crisis to keep the system working.

Whoopi Goldberg stands by her Holocaust remarks

‘The View’ co-host and actress Whoopi Goldberg has defended her controversial vision of the Holocaust, insisting the extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany was not “originally” about race. Goldberg, who claims a distant Jewish ancestry herself, discussed the explosive topic in an interview with The Times, published Saturday. Originally designed to promote her new movie ‘Till,’ a film about black teenager Emmett Till, who was brutally lynched in 1955 over allegedly having whistled at a white woman, the interview eventually devolved into discussion of highly controversial topics.

New Jersey Gives the Raspberry to the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment Ruling

The day after the Supreme Court gave full throat to the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right of a citizen to keep and bear arms in public (while striking down New York’s onerous restrictions on such ownership) back in June, anti-gun Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced he would find a way to “work around” the high court’s ruling. The ruling in Bruen — New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen — struck down New York’s “proper cause” requirement and, by implication, New Jersey’s “justifiable need” requirement for a citizen to be able to exercise his Second Amendment rights.

One Foot off the Grid, Where We Don't Have To Deal With the City Water Department

When our water was turned off one morning last January, we assumed it was due to the sinkhole slowly expanding across the width of our single-lane street in South Philadelphia. But we could only guess, as no one answered the phone at the Philadelphia Water Department, and the first city employee didn't show up on our street until four hours after the taps died. When one of my elderly neighbors asked how long it would take to restore service, the city guy said his crews were swamped. It took 27 hours. With spotlights shining into the house and construction equipment rattling our walls, my wife and I spent most of that night wondering where we could go for a reprieve with a 2-month-old ...

The CIA has been meddling in Twitter’s internal content moderation for years, according to the latest dispatches from Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” — which also revealed “mountains of insistent moderation demands” from the Democratic National Committee, but not from the GOP. Two separate threads in the ongoing Elon Musk-sponsored deep dive into the social media’s internal documents were released Saturday by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, documenting how the platform has frequently bowed to government and political pressure.

Omnibus shows Congress’s Priorities: Authoritarianism and War

Those hoping for a Christmastime government shutdown were once again disappointed when Congress passed a 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus appropriations bill that few, if any, Representatives and Senators read before voting on. The Republican leadership celebrated this bloated monstrosity because it spends $858 billion on warfare while “only” spending $772.5 billion on welfare. No one should think Republican insistence on more warfare than welfare spending means Democrats oppose the warfare state. Under President Biden and a Democrat- controlled Congress, “defense” spending has increased by 4.3 percent over the last two years. Similarly, every Republican President in ...

The Hidden Subtitle of the NDAA That Will Ban Basic Facts About Judges Online

The First Amendment prohibits the government from censoring truthful information, especially when it's about government officials. Yet tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)'s 4,400-plus pages is a subtitle which does just that. Title LIX, Subtitle D of the NDAA, or the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act (JSPA), bans a broad range of basic facts about federal judges from being posted on the internet. It then deputizes social media companies to ensure those facts remain offline. The JSPA was named after U.S. District Judge Esther Salas's 20-year-old son who was tragically killed at the judge's New Jersey home. In an effort to prevent similar ...

A New Federal Press Shield Bill Falters Just Before the Finish Line in Congress

Lost in the incredibly expensive fight over how many billions of dollars the federal government can waste is any number of more modest bills—some of which wouldn't add to our nation's debt and would help protect Americans from that very expensive government. Consider the PRESS Act—officially the Protect Reporters From Exploitative State Spying Act. The PRESS Act is intended to stop the federal government from attempting to force journalists to divulge the identities of anonymous sources, like government whistleblowers. There are exceptions if the government can show that disclosing the identity of the source is necessary to identify a terrorist or to prevent violent crime ...

The U.S. Senate reached an agreement this week on a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill to fund the federal government, in what many conservatives are calling a capitulation by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders. Just the News reports that the deal was reached after Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer allowed an amendment to extend Title 42, a Trump-era public health authority facilitating the quick deportation of illegal immigrants, to be voted on with just 51 votes rather than the 60 typically needed to break a filibuster.

A newly-published study claiming the US Marine Corps would benefit from dropping gendered identifiers like “sir” and “ma’am” for drill instructors was not only “insane” but a waste of the $2 million the USMC paid for it, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Military Personnel Committee said in a statement on Wednesday. “I hope the Commandant not only rejects the recommendation but also asks for his money back,” wrote Congressman Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin wrote. He noted that the Marine Corps “may have problems, but the use of gendered terms at boot camp is not one of them.” Click for Full Text!

The massive $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that was made public by federal lawmakers Tuesday includes a $750,000 earmark for a Los Angeles-based transgender Latina group that wants to "dismantle" the U.S. criminal justice system and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and inject "transgender history and discourse" into elementary schools, among other progressive initiatives. The release of the bill, which spans 4,155 pages, came after negotiations between Senate Republicans and House and Senate Democrats. The sprawling package, which contains $858 billion in defense spending and $772.5 billion in non-defense discretionary spending, has to pass by the end of the week ...

A federal judge in Texas set aside a rule allowing teenagers to access birth control from providers participating in a federal family planning program without their parents’ permission. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Tuesday likely means that teenagers who receive care through the Title X family planning program will no longer be allowed to do so confidentially.
