A Pennsylvania congressman's call for 'inseminators' - presumably men, but in 2021 you never know - to be sterilized after fathering their third child is supposed to be a send-up of Texas' new abortion law. But it's no mere joke.

Rep. Christopher Rabb (D) released a memo on Saturday calling for "all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within six weeks from having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first," and added a "$10,000 reward for reporting to the proper authorities those scofflaws who have not complied with this statute within the allotted time frame."

"As long as state legislatures continue to restrict the reproductive rights of cis women, trans men and non-binary people, there should be laws that address the responsibility of men who impregnate them," the memo continues, going on to codify 'wrongful conception' to include when a person has demonstrated "negligence toward preventing conception during intercourse" and stressing that the new legislation would "allow Pennsylvanians to take civil action for unwanted pregnancies against inseminators who wrongfully conceive a child with them."

The Kremlin has said it's up to local leaders to find ways to boost coronavirus vaccine uptake, after one Russian region threatened to withhold road repairs from areas with low levels of immunization amid a sharp spike in deaths.

On Tuesday, President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov told journalists that, while he wouldn't comment on specifics, the Russian government will support any move to encourage people to go and get jabbed in an effort to try and curb the rising coronavirus infections across the country.

"All methods to push people toward understanding the necessity of vaccination are good," he said. "Indeed, all measures are good. Each region enjoys the authority to impose its own measures," also stressing that people should understand the need for the vaccination.

Ex-Trump speechwriter warns Xi that US will shed blood to 'ensure Rainbow Flag of Diversity' flies over Taiwan

Darren Beattie, a former White House speechwriter for 45th President Donald Trump, warned China on Thursday that the US would be prepared to shed blood to ensure that the "Rainbow Flag of Diversity" flies over Taiwan.

Beattie - a prominent critic of US foreign policy since his departure from the White House - posted the warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Twitter. He declared:
"Make no mistake Xi, Americans are prepared to spend whatever blood and treasure it takes to ensure that the Rainbow Flag of Diversity, and not the Chinese flag, will fly over Taiwan. Globalist American Empire would do so under the guise of 'freedom.'"
In a separate tweet, Beattie mocked self-proclaimed American patriots "who happen to sit on the board of a company that does a lot of defense contracts," but portray their anti-Chinese rhetoric as a selfless act of patriotism.

Beattie worked as a speechwriter for the White House between 2017 and 2018. In 2020, he was nominated by Trump to serve as a board member of the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.

Comment: In an upside down world, symbols become threats as logic runs amok and egos rule the day.

The majority of likely voters in Florida reject President Joe Biden's employer vaccine mandate, a VCreek/AMG survey found.

The survey, which showed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) leading both of his potential Democrat challengers — Rep. Charlie Crist (R-FL) and Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried — in next year's gubernatorial race, also asked respondents to weigh in on the Biden administration's employer vaccine mandate, which he announced last month.
The survey asked:
"Should the Biden Administration be allowed to create a workplace regulation that could result in people being fired from their job for not getting vaccinated?"
The majority, 54 percent, said no, the Biden administration should not be allowed to do that. Forty-three percent said it should.

Biden made the announcement last month, directing the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop a rule forcing businesses with over 100 employees to either mandate vaccines or implement a rigorous weekly testing program. Yet, weeks after the announcement, OSHA has yet to release a rule and has remained mum on when it will come forth.

Here is the latest move by the University of California in response to my lawsuit in Federal court challenging their vaccine mandate on behalf of Covid-recovered individuals with natural immunity. Last Thursday Sept 30th at 5:03 PM I received this letter from the University informing me that, as of the following morning, I was being placed on "Investigatory Leave" for my failure to comply with the vaccine mandate. I was given no opportunity to contact my patients, students, residents, or colleagues and let them know I would disappear for a month. Rather than waiting for the court to make a ruling on my case, the University has taken preemptive action:

'Totalitarian tyranny': Parents groups slam AG Garland for turning FBI on their activism

Parents who protest public school policies on race, gender and COVID-19 are crying foul after Attorney General Merrick Garland promised to "discourage" and prosecute "harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence" against school boards, administrators, teachers and staff.

His "mobilization of [the] FBI against parents is consistent with the complete weaponization of the federal government against ideological opponents," Rhode Island mother Nicole Solas, who is waging a public records battle with her school district over race-related curriculum, told Just the News.

"It ought to be the parents that need protection" from intimidation by school boards and superintendents, civil rights veteran Bob Woodson told Just the News. He cited Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe's recent statement that parents shouldn't tell schools what to teach.

"Nobody's making a case that lawlessness is being tolerated," said the founder of the Woodson Center and its 1776 Unites project, which advises school boards on history curricula and publishes its own lessons. The Department of Justice is creating the impression that parents are "firebombing school board meetings."

Former President Donald Trump told the John Solomon Reports podcast he was "somewhat surprised" by Garland's move, though "nothing surprises me too much anymore." He said parents were "very wounded by what's taken place by, in many cases, radical left school boards."

Universities in England 'failing to mark down students' for poor writing skills

Universities and colleges are failing to mark down students for poor spelling, grammar and punctuation, which is leading to grade inflation because of a misguided application of equalities legislation, according to England's higher education regulator.

After a review of assessment policies at five institutions, the Office for Students (OfS) said it feared that staff being allowed to ignore errors in students' written work was "widespread". It warned that it was willing to punish universities for failing to tackle poor writing skills.

The review follows cases this year of institutions using "inclusive assessment" policies more widely, and only taking quality of writing into account in courses where it was deemed to be critical, leading to condemnation from ministers.

Susan Lapworth, the OfS's director of regulation, said: "The common features we have seen in assessment policies suggest that poor spelling, punctuation and grammar may be accepted across the sector. In publishing this report, we are being clear with universities and colleges that we want to see change.

"Effective assessment should take into account all aspects of a student's work, and this includes their ability to express themselves effectively and correctly in written English."

Alex Jones of Infowars made a special broadcast on Monday night regarding an explosive video of Fauci with HHS officials and other health experts discussing how to enforce Universal Flu Vaccination in a summit organized by Milken Institute in Washington, DC last October 2019.

Alex Jones highlighted three clips from the hour-long video of the summit from C-SPAN which proved the COVID-19 pandemic was planned and the Big Pharma worked with the UN and other corrupt government officials to develop and release the COVID-19 virus ahead of 'Great Reset'.

The first clip featured Michael Specter, a journalist from The New Yorker and also an adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Rick Bright, the director of HHS Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

The revelations from the Pandora Papers have shown just how obscene it is when the world's super-rich, including politicians supposedly on the left, use offshore companies to buy huge tranches of our cities.

This week we have discovered yet more evidence of the wealthy getting wealthier by avoiding paying their fair share of tax by using offshore companies registered in various tax havens across the globe.

Thanks to the efforts of dozens of journalists and campaigners in bringing us the Pandora Papers, a leak of almost 12 million documents that reveal hidden riches, tax avoidance and, in some cases, money laundering by some of the world's most rich and powerful - and greedy - people.
