Bowing To Corporate Demands For Watered
-Down Bill, Gov. Kristi Noem Sells Out
Women’s Sports
Posted By: earlybird, 3/22/2021 2:01:12 PM
On Friday, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem balked on signing House Bill 1217 when the bill to promote fairness in women’s sports crossed her desk. But instead of vetoing the legislation, Noem returned the bill to the House with what she called “recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.” The Republican governor’s spin, however, cannot withstand scrutiny—most specifically her claimed reasoning for removing collegiate athletics from the bill’s protections. As finalized by the South Dakota legislature, Section 1 of H.B. 1217 provided that athletic teams and sports in the state, including at institutions of higher education, must be expressly designated as male, female, or coeducation.

If you needed a reminder that the swamp is alive and well, look no further than the recent vote by the House Republican Conference to bring pork-barrel spending back to Congress. Egged on, no doubt, by the special interests that fund their campaigns, 102 Republicans—who identify as conservatives when campaigning—just decided to undo one of the biggest accomplishments of the Tea Party era. Now, Senate Republicans are similarly considering a proposal to follow suit.
If this isn’t a sign that Congressional Republicans need new leadership in Washington, I don’t know what is. The good news is that a new group of freshman Republicans who are taking Washington by storm
Fake news imitates reality, as mainstream media competes with itself in distorting what happened in Atlanta. The commentary surrounding the Atlanta shooting appears to be more fake than actor Jussie Smollett’s insane hoax(Snip)
just as nearly everyone who was not wilfully blind saw through Smollett’s terrible acting, the media’s “white racism” angle on the horrifying Atlanta murders exceeded reductio ad absurdum levels.
What made the professional Left—now featuring Asian American elites—explode with gleeful fury was the emergence of a perfect racist enemy—a white, male, religious zealot who had just purchased the murder weapon. Such a perpetrator now justifies Asian American elites, who tack hard Left, to ignore the unpleasant
The Nature of Chinese Contempt for Us

Last week in Anchorage, Alaska, Chinese diplomats dressed down Biden Administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Both seem stunned by the Chinese broadsides.
Apparently, as elite Americans readily confess to inherent white supremacy and racism—highlighting the complaints of BLM and Antifa—the Chinese are happy to agree that such admittedly toxic Americans should not dare to criticize China’s racist policies.
Not since newly elected President John Kennedy was humiliated at the Cold War Vienna summit in June 1961 by USSR strongman Nikita Khrushchev have American diplomats been so roughly manhandled by a Communist government.(Snip)If China gives out money, it logically believes it owns the recipient.
Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted with the Democrats in the senate to confirm Rachael Levine as Asst. Secretary of Health and Human services, despite the abhorrent job Levine did while Health Secretary for Pennsylvania during the COVID crisis.Last month Senator Rand Paul questioned Levine during the confirmation hearing, and exposed the radical agenda behind the nominee.
Despite the terrible job in Pennsylvania, and despite the radical outlook toward gender reassignment for teens, the UniParty found a way to continue supporting the far-left. (Snip) Before the vote, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., urged her colleagues to support Levine’s nomination, calling her a “trusted voice” for Pennsylvanians
Interesting that Reuters would outline the walk-backs. Even more interesting that the details of the walk-backs seem to prove the DOJ never actually intended to win any of these cases, but rather wanted to advance a political narrative about extremists through their earlier statements. The approach of building a political narrative through false accusations and over-charging in the DOJ is the essence of Lawfare. The government has endless taxpayer resources to fuel their political weaponization of the judiciary. The process of the charges then becomes the punishment by design.The targets are drained financially, sometimes physically detained under false pretense, and then the DOJ walks backwards when
“Rahm Emanuel, call your office. You said it—‘Never let a serious crisis go to waste!’ And we got one, baby—two white supremacists shooting up the joint in Atlanta and Boulder. The president’s into it already. Bye-bye assault weapons and those thousand round mags Hollywood lefties love to show off in their movies. We might even get ‘im to ban cap guns by executive order. … What? He wasn’t a white supremacist? His name was Al-what? … Like Al Ky-Duh? …

That might be the beginning of a stand-up act bya conservative comic, a tryout anyway, in a provincial city, but these are the days we are living in—more insane
A slide used in a Department of Defense (DOD) training manual identifies Catholics and evangelical Christians as “religious extremists,” along with members of the Ku Klux Klan, al-Qaeda, and Hamas, according to a Marine Corps officer.
“First Liberty also obtained a screenshot of an unclassified slide from a U.S. Army training manual. The slide is entitled ‘Religious Extremism’ and it purports to identify religious extremists,” Michael Berry told the House Armed Services Committee, during a hearing on March 24 titled “Extremism in the Military.”
Berry is general counsel to the First Liberty Institute (FLI), a Plano, Texas-based public interest law firm that specializes in First Amendment and religious freedom cases.
Infrastructure spending is usually a popular proposal. Between potholes down the street and reports of crumbling bridges, Americans tend to agree that America’s infrastructure needs work. An infrastructure spending bill floated by Democrats, however, is shaping up to be something else entirely—maybe even superfluous, according to an infrastructure policy expert.
Major federal infrastructure spending was originally justified as a national defense issue. The interstate system was to secure expedient troop movement, for instance. But those days are long gone. Today’s bipartisan support for such spending stems from political expediency.
(Snip) They present infrastructure bills as a way to boost the economy and create jobs.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) confirmed reports it is investigating President Joe Biden’s move in January to freeze construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Former President Donald Trump, who made border wall construction a key 2016 campaign promise, started building the wall amid legal battles and fights with Congress. On his first day in office, Biden used his executive authority to stop building the wall even after Congress approved $1.4 billion for the measure as part of a $900 billion stimulus package bill to offset losses incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic in December.
(Snip) GAO would now launch an inquiry into whether the Biden administration had violated any laws
The suspect in the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado had a short temper and was violent, according to former sports teammates.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, “was kind of scary to be around,” Dayton Marvel, who was on a wrestling team with the suspect, told the Denver Post.
Alissa once threatened to kill people during an especially heated moment, Marvel said.(Snip)“He would talk about him being Muslim and how if anybody tried anything, he would file a hate crime and say they were making it up,” (Snip). “It was a crazy deal. I just know he was a pretty cool kid until something made him mad, and then whatever
There is no evidence at all after 60 days of the new administration, of any disposition to collaborate with moderate Republicans in a centrist response to the many policy challenges the administration faces. President Biden remains the man who said of the hooliganism at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, that it was a “white supremacist” attack bungled by “white supremacist” Capitol police and directly incited by the outgoing president in an effort to overturn an election result which the Democrats,(Snip) represent as an unquestionably fair electoral outcome. (Snip)candidate Biden said that the Democratic program was what he determined it to be,

Boulder, Colorado, law enforcement have named the suspect in the King Sooper’s grocery store shooting yesterday. The shooter is 21-year-old Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa.WASHINGTON POST – Ten people killed at a Colorado grocery store, including a Boulder police officer, have been identified, as has the 21-year-old rifle-wielding shooter.(Snip). They offered no details on a suspected motive. (link)
And just like that the media will drop the story, because the shooter is not a white male and subsequently his race and ethnicity does not align with the preferred narrative for gun control suspects.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Bill Clinton will be speaking together at an event Friday hosted by the Clinton Foundation on the topic of empowering women in the United States and around the world.The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event will feature the two speaking one-on-one and will focus on the challenges that women have had to endure during the coronavirus pandemic, and how to empower women throughout the world.(Tweet) Harris is set to speak with Clinton despite the former president having faced allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women spanning decades.
President Joe Biden claimed during a White House event on Wednesday that there is nothing that a man can do that a woman can’t do just as well or better.Biden made the remarks in the South Court Auditorium at an event marking Equal Pay Day.“There’s a lot to do, but together we can ensure that our daughters have all the same rights and opportunities as our sons,” Biden said. “And if we’re able to do this, it’ll be transformational for our nation. That’s the goal. That’s what this is all about. That’s what this team, all of you, are all about.”“Let me make one more point.
A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that there is no right to carry a gun in public. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 7-4 ruling rejected a challenge to Hawaii’s requirement that residents must pass an application to have weapons outside the home. Hawaii’s law requires residents to show an urgency or need to carry a firearm, the applicant must have good character, and be “engaged in the protection of life and property.”(Snip) “We can find no general right to carry arms into the public square for self-defense,” the majority wrote, claiming that the Second Amendment applies to
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking victims hit out at Vice President Kamala Harris for planning to take part in a women’s empowerment seminar with former President Bill Clinton, a onetime pal of the convicted pedophile.
‘Wow!! She’s asking Clinton how to empower women???’ Virginia Giuffre tweeted on Wednesday.
‘Wrong person, what she should be asking him is what the hell was Clinton doing on #Epstein island & private jets 27 TIMES!!’
Giuffre ended the tweet with the hashtag ‘#EnoughIsEnough.’
Giuffre has accused Epstein, a friend of the former president, of keeping her as a sex slave.
President Joe Biden put Kamala Harris in charge of resolving a surge in migration on the U.S. southern border that’s overwhelming federal immigration authorities, handing the vice president the first major assignment of her tenure. Biden announced Harris’s assignment on Wednesday, with both Democrats and Republicans in Congress warning of a burgeoning humanitarian crisis as growing numbers of migrant children try to enter the U.S. “I can think of nobody who’s better qualified to do this,” Biden said at the White House. “When she speaks, she speaks for me.” It’s the first issue that Biden has publicly asked Harris to

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear oral argument in Caniglia v. Strom, a case that could have sweeping consequences for policing, due process, and mental health, with the Biden Administration and attorneys general from nine states urging the High Court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation. But what would ultimately become a major Fourth Amendment case began with an elderly couple’s spat over a coffee mug. In August 2015, 68-year-old Edward Caniglia joked to Kim, his wife of 22 years, that he didn’t use a certain coffee mug after his brother-in-law had used it because he “might catch a case of dishonesty.” That quip quickly spiraled

Joe Sanfelippo.
President Joe Biden tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the administration's efforts to stem what he called a 'serious spike' in immigration at the border. The president announced his decision on Wednesday in a meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the situation at the border. Biden announced he has asked Harris 'to lead our efforts' with Mexico and other nations that need help in 'stemming' immigration.(Snip) 'They were coming north and we did nothing to do much about it.

Voting mostly along party lines, the U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed former Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be the nation’s assistant secretary of health. She is the first openly transgender federal official to win Senate confirmation. The final vote was 52-48. Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine joined all Democrats in supporting Levine. Levine had been serving as Pennsylvania’s top health official since 2017, and emerged as the public face of the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. She is expected to oversee Health and Human Services offices and programs across the U.S.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The mayor of Oakland, California, on Tuesday announced a privately funded program that will give low-income families of color $500 per month with no rules on how they can spend it. The program is the latest experiment with a “guaranteed income,” an idea that giving poor people a set amount of money each month helps ease the stresses of poverty that often lead to poor health while hindering their ability to find full-time work. The idea isn’t new, but it’s having a revival across the U.S. after some mayors launched small, temporary programs across the country in
Joe Biden sold the American people a bill of goods in 2020. He is not a moderate, and he will make his mark no matter what damage it does to our institutions, traditions, or country. Biden is not even a Trojan horse for the radical Left. He is leading the charge to transform the country.
Remember how Joe Biden pushed back on Kamala Harris in a debate? Biden said he had no executive authority to ban assault weapons, and that there were many limits on changes using that tool. Compare that to the statement of Press Secretary Jen Psaki this week:
“We are considering a range of levers, including
What, exactly, are the taxpayers paying in the highly politicized and loaded-for-money wokester FBI these days?
The recent mass-shooting out of Colorado, from a murder-spewing freak they knew about, would suggest nothing. While they were out there busy looking for 'white supremacists' this admitted refugee from Syria was making plans to kill.
And he's not the first. (snip) the politicization of the bureau seems to be going hand in hand with the increased money and personnel being larded onto the bureau.
The FBI's annual budget as of 2020 stands at more than $9.3 billion, with 35,500 personnel
