H.R. 1/S.1 is Dead: Long
Live the Filibuster
Posted By: Imright, 6/22/2021 9:07:30 PM
It’s over, and we are thankful.It was a 50-50 procedural vote along party lines, but H.R. 1/S.1, the supposed “For the People Act” has been blocked by Senate Republicans. Sixty votes were needed in order to open debate on this legislation before entering into a vote on the actual bill. Because the Republicans were able to successfully filibuster, that 60 vote threshold was not met. The legislation is now dead on the Senate floor.(Tweet/Video) Any way you slice it, if H.R. 1/S.1 had passed, it would have been a wholesale takeover of elections by Federal fiat. Democrats and the Left have been alarmed at the election integrity measures that

Donald Trump said that Vice President Kamala Harris would not have finally scheduled a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday unless he announced his own trip there next week.'After months of ignoring the crisis at the Southern Border, it is great that we got Kamala Harris to finally go and see the tremendous destruction and death that they've created—a direct result of Biden ending my very tough but fair Border policies,' Trump celebrated in a statement from his Save America political action committee email on Wednesday.'Harris and Biden were given the strongest Border in American history. And now, it is by far the worst in American history,'

President Joe Biden and a number of Democrats were spotted wearing masks at a funeral service for former Sen. John Warner (R-VA) on Wednesday, even though they are fully vaccinated. The president, First Lady Jill Biden, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) were spotted wearing masks at the service, as well as Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Some advocates of the vaccines criticize vaccinated people who keep wearing masks, arguing it raises doubts about their effectiveness. The Centers for Disease Controls have advised that fully vaccinated people can resume activities as normal both inside and outside,
The populist Republican Study Committee (RSC) will be joining former President Donald Trump when he visits the border on June 30.“President Trump spent four years fixing the border,” said a June 23 statement from Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), who heads the caucus of like-minded conservative Republicans within the GOP. He continued: But the Biden administration broke it again, and we are now experiencing the worst border crisis in our history. That’s why the RSC has made carrying on the Trump legacy on immigration our top priority this Congress and why we are heading to the border with President Trump to explain how we can end this national embarrassment.
The Washington Post attempted to smear me, the nation’s most prominent opponent of critical race theory — and it backfired spectacularly.The fight over CRT has consumed American media. Conservatives have rallied against the toxic neo-Marxist ideology that seeks to divide the country into the racial categories of oppressor and oppressed; liberals have defended it as a “lens” for understanding vague buzzwords such as “systemic racism” and “racial equity.”I’ve been on the cutting edge of this battle. My investigative reporting, including columns for this paper, has exposed CRT in education, government and the corporate world.
Cornell University has introduced an astronomy course to explore the connection between the term black holes and “racial blackness” — proof, say critics, that even the hard sciences aren’t immune to universal “racial hysteria.”The course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,” uses work from black studies theorists, artists and fiction writers to challenge “conventional wisdom” about the role that race plays in astronomy.“Conventional wisdom would have it that the ‘black’ in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there?” reads the college catalog description.

The Justice Department released three videos Monday used in a federal court case against a Capitol riot defendant accused of leading the Proud Boys in the insurrection on January 6. The videos show the defendant, Charles Donohoe of North Carolina, among the rioters and other Proud Boys preparing their moves, then pushing into the US Capitol with makeshift weapons. The video release is the first related to a major planned conspiracy case in the Capitol riot investigation, after a coalition of media outlets, including CNN, sought access to the tapes from court proceedings. It's also one of the first sets of up-close glimpses provided by prosecutors of the video evidence

An attempt by the liberal co-host of a streaming show to do damage control for U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse failed after a poised and prepared conservative journalist dropped a truth bomb on him.Reacting to the controversy about the Rhode Island Democrat’s membership in an all-white beach club on the Rising produced by The Hill news outlet, Democrat Colin Rogero (who was anchoring along with libertarian Robby Soave) smugly wondered “I’d loved to know the diversity quotient at Mar-a-Lago,” as he bashed Donald Trump Jr. for weighing in on the controversy via Twitter. “I’m actually really glad that the Mar-a-Lago point was raised because in 1997, Donald Trump actually sued

Joe Biden might have inadvertently paid for a series of wild nights his son Hunter had with a prostitute at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont Hotel in 2018, according to text messages and receipts obtained from his laptop.It was late May that year when Hunter Biden ordered Yanna, an escort, who billed herself as 'Russian, Green Eyes, Thin Brunette, an elite courtesan' from his favorite site, Emerald Fantasy Girls, according to the files obtained by the New York Post from his 2017 Macbook Pro. 'Hi, My name is Rob. I'm staying at Chateau Marmont,' he texts the woman, using his first name, Robert. 'Are you available now?'

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) caved under pressure from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Tuesday, agreeing to vote to advance the federal takeover of elections legislation.The deal entailed Manchin being the 50th Democrat vote to advance the “For the People Act,” which still must survive a Republican filibuster during a procedural hurdle, is an exchange for a vote on Manchin’s alterations to the legislation if Republicans cave and support debating the legislation.“Today I will vote ‘YES’ to move to debate this updated voting legislation as a substitute amendment to ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot and participate in our great democracy,” he explained, adding:
The Washington Post has been branded 'neoracist,' and as promoting a 'pseudoreligious movement' for the latest episode of its podcast series urging readers to hold 'white accountability groups' and feel 'deep shame' over their race.
Its series, hosted by Nicole Ellis and called the New Normal, launched last spring, originally to discuss the coronavirus pandemic. The podcast shifted to conversations about race after the death of George Floyd last year.
New Normal's latest episode, launched on Friday, discusses how white people can combat white supremacy, among them were forming so-called 'white accountability groups.'

Kamala Harris told left-wing activists to knock on doors to pressure people to get vaccinated as Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal is likely to fall short.The Biden Admin set a goal to fully vaccinate 70% of Americans by July 4th.Americans are refusing to get the Covid vaccine for many different reasons, but the Biden Admin is pushing for 70% vaccination so they can wield power over the unvaccinated. This has nothing to do with saving lives. It's all about power.
Black people represented the largest increase in traffic deaths last year than any other racial group, even as Americans drove less overall due to the pandemic, according to recently released data. (Snip) Along with the systemic nature of this problem, Gladney pointed out that social racism also plays a role in the rising number of traffic fatalities. A 2017 study from the University of Nevada found that drivers are less likely to slow down or stop for Black pedestrians than they are for white ones.

Retailer Ikea is under fire after one of its stores reportedly sent out a lunch menu for a Juneteenth celebration that is said to have featured certain dishes that perpetuate racial stereotypes. An Atlanta Ikea store sent a letter to employees last week to inform them of the celebration, which allegedly included a note about a "special menu" including items like fried chicken, watermelon and other foods with ties to racism, as reported by local CBS affiliate. The meal was intended as an internal celebration for store workers, not for customers. A spokesperson for Ikea told FOX Business that to
Last week, the star made headlines when she wrote an op-ed for MarketWatch in which she suggested that the American flag be redesigned, as the current design has become "tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect," alleging that it has "replaced" the confederate flag as a symbol of racism and hate.
Reactions to the "I Try" singer's suggestion were mixed, but certainly caused a stir on social media, and now, in an interview with TMZ, Gray has continued to defend her criticism and expanded on her call for a redesign.
Educators around the country have come out to condemn a 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program which tells teachers not to push students to find the correct answers to math problems because doing so promotes white supremacy.
The program is centered around a workbook for teachers entitled 'A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction' which asserts that America's education system – even mathematics instruction – reinforces the dominant power structures of white colonizers.
Grading students, asking them to show their work, requiring participation and even pushing them to get the right answer are depicted in the workbook as harmful to minorities.
On the eve of a stinging defeat for Democrats Barack Obama has surfaced. Their efforts to ram an election rigging bill that is dishonestly being marketed as “voting rights” legislation has run up against a Senate filibuster. Obama is demanding that the “For The People Act” be passed before the 2022 midterms. The former president is almost certainly pulling Joe Biden’s strings. His doddering front man is advancing a decidedly anti-American set of policies that would fundamentally transform the nation. That’s why he slithered out to claim that the legislation must be passed in order to protect “democracy”. This term has been hijacked by the usurpers and now means
Our military is under attack by “anti-racism” activists whose message is that white America is racist. [SNIP] Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday has told the third of a million naval personnel that they should be reading and learning from Ibram X. Kendi, a mediocre, fact-challenged university professor who has become the go-to “anti-racism” expert for America’s woke elites.
In a congressional hearings, Admiral Gilday was asked by Representative Jim Banks to denounce Kendi’s view that white people criminals - that they created the AIDS virus to kill black people. The Admiral refused to do so, dismissing it as a “cherry picked” quote about which he had no other opinion.
President Biden has unveiled his reformed child tax credits which will see American families paid up to $3,600 to help raise each of their children.The raise, unveiled as part of Biden's $1.8 trillion American Families Rescue Plan, will see families with children aged under six receive a monthly payment of $300 per child - equivalent to $3,600 - in 2021.Families with children aged between six and 17 will receive $250 a month, or $3,000 over the course of a year. Cash will automatically start hitting the bank accounts of families who have filed 2019 and 2020 federal taxes from July 15.
Citing experts at the Meedan Digital Health Lab , Reuters Fact Check vigorously asserts that the spike proteins induced by the COVID vaccines do not kill or damage cells.
Perhaps so, but something from the vaccines is causing deformations and apparent inflammation in red blood cells, as evidenced by images from microscopy photos. Images of blood cells taken before and after the vaccines can be seen starting about two minutes into the five-minute video. Postvaccine red blood cells exhibit rough instead of smooth edges, irregular shapes, and grouping together over time which is described as the “beginning form of thrombosis,” or blood clots. More research is needed
