‘Power Grab’ Bill

Original Article

Senate Republicans blocked a signature Democrat election bill that would radically transform America’s electoral system and grant the federal government more control over the country’s elections.The Senate voted 50-50, failing to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the debate on S. 1, the For the People Act. This prevents the Senate from voting on the legislation. The legislation would federalize America’s electoral system, which has drawn strong opposition from Republicans.The legislation would: Federalize control over congressional elections; Declare that standard state and local maintenance of elections systems, such as purging ineligible voters from voter rolls, limiting vote-by-mail, requiring voter ID, and

A glimmer of good news but the fact they would even try to Federalize elections is frightening.

Schumer called this vote knowing full well that it would fail, and after getting Manchin on board. This is about advancing the narrative that the filibuster must be thrown out, and putting pressure on those that support it.

You have to know that this law the Democrats were trying to pass had to be disastrous for America if the 5 or 6 regular traitors in the Republican party could see it, and vote against it. Evidently they bought Manchin off. Isn't it horrible what power Pelosi and Schumer have over democrats that not one of them has the courage to vote against something so harmful to America, or is it that they want this power grab, this total take over of the Democratic process.. If so they are not only cowards, but traitors to the American election system and to the American way of life. They wish to destroy the American political system------------for power.

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.

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

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.
