Society's Child
In 1993, I was a young staffer for then Senator Joe Biden. In 2019, I spoke about Joe Biden sexually harassing and assaulting me when I worked for him. I tried to come forward then but was silenced. There is an inherent danger coming forward about any powerful man but in America it has become especially true when it is a Democrat. Politics has always been a blood sport. I knew as I finally came forward about my history with Joe Biden I walked into the gladiator's ring and the fight would be to the end. It was intimidating and those lions are big but I kept speaking my truth. When I spoke up in solidarity with the other seven women about Joe Biden's behavior, I was quickly marginalized and called a Russian agent. In 2020, the U.S. media took aim and used me as target practice all summer with either smears on my character or suppressing my story. With the exceptions of a few brave journalists, like Megyn Kelly, Rich McHugh, Amy Goodman, Ryan Grim and Katie Halper, I was shoved aside. At one point, my story was first told in the sports section of a newspaper, unclear why but I was clearly used as a political football during the election cycle.
"State and local officials brazenly violated election laws in order to advance a partisan political agenda," Phil Kline, director of The Amistad Project, said in a statement. "The pattern of lawlessness was so pervasive and widespread that it deprived the people of Michigan of a free and fair election, throwing the integrity of the entire process into question."
The Amistad Project is representing two female Michigan voters, Angelic Johnson and Linda Lee Tarver, who claim that election officials effectively robbed them of their votes by illegally undermining a fair election. In an interview with PJ Media, Ian Northon, an attorney representing Johnson and Tarver, explained the seven types of illegal counting the lawsuit alleges.
Citing state records, the lawsuit claims that Benson's office sent out 355,392 unsolicited ballots. Northon explained that Michigan law requires two signatures for absentee voting: a signature on an application form and a signature on the security sleeve for the ballot. In this election, officials mailed out more than 300,000 ballots that no one had requested.
"They didn't request them. You've just flooded the market with unsolicited ballots. No good can come of that," Northon insisted.
Bell's case, which was heard in London's High Court, will have worldwide implications for the burgeoning trans healthcare industry, the profits of which depend on drawing growing numbers of children into the system.
Keira Bell, 23, applied for judicial review of the Tavistock gender identity clinic's policy of administering off-label prostate cancer drug to children experiencing body dysmorphia for a wide range of reasons. Her case was based in her own experience.
Now that Bell's claim is successful — if subject to appeal — a further layer of safeguarding may be implemented so that gender identity medics must apply to the court for permission to arrest the pubertal development of a distressed child. Tavistock will undoubtedly appeal.
Nasdaq revealed its plan to turbocharge diversity on its exchange in a proposal filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday.
Under the proposed new rules, not only will all listed US companies be required to "publicly disclose consistent, transparent diversity statistics regarding their board of directors," but "most" companies would have to either appoint "diverse" board members or explain why they hadn't done so in a letter.
The mandatory addition of "one [director] who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+" appears to leave room for Rachel Dolezal-style "self-identification" as something other than white, male, or straight - a potential loophole for companies that prefer to keep their current boards. Non-US companies and small firms would be permitted to appoint two female directors instead.
New York state's 22nd congressional district, stretching from Utica to Binghamton, is considered Republican by six percentage points by the Cook Political Report. It elected Democrat Anthony Brindisi in 2018 by a margin of just 4,500 votes.
Claudia Tenney, who held the seat before that, came back as a challenger this year, and seemed ahead until a county judge blocked certification and said he would personally review all the rejected mail-in ballots.
The review put Brindisi ahead by just 13 votes, and last week he triumphantly declared he would be "sworn in and continue to work with both parties" come January.
Maddow's conspiracy theories about 'Russian collusion' and supposed hacking of the 2016 election that resulted in President Donald Trump have been a staple of MSNBC audiences over the past four years. She's not giving up that routine now, even as the entire mainstream media machine has turned on a dime and insists that the 2020 election was flawless - since it resulted in Democrat Joe Biden's victory, that is.
On Monday, Maddow cherry-picked a couple of quotes and linked a New York Times story - published last week - about 'Russian' hackers allegedly targeting the University of Vermont Medical Center last month.
The Times story is long on feelings and emotions of the medical personnel and cancer patients affected by the fact that the UVMC computers stopped working, but short on actual facts about the case. It works in a jab at President Donald Trump for firing head of the cybersecurity agency Chris Krebs - for disputing "baseless claims of voter fraud," of course - even though that happened long after the alleged attack.
In a briefing on Monday, Cuomo painted a picture of a cheerful Christmas season, as festive music jingled in the background.
"We're now all happy and cheery and we're going to come together. We're doing gift buying, and we're going to do holiday celebrations, we're gonna start to have meals together, families coming together," he mused, before issuing a stark warning for anyone lulled into a false sense of holiday cheer.
"Yeah," he said. "Covid is the Grinch. Think of it that way. And the Covid Grinch is an opportunist, and the Covid Grinch sees this as the season of viral transmission."
Four people died and 15 others were injured in a pedestrian zone in the western German city of Trier, after being struck by a vehicle on Tuesday.
Authorities have said the driver was a 51-year-old German man. He was arrested shortly after the rampage and his car was seized.
Comment:
GOP state Rep. John Becker of Clermont County led a group including fellow Republican state Reps. Nino Vitale, Candice Keller and Paul Zeltwanger in filing 12 articles of impeachment against DeWine, calling it an "effort to restore the rule of law."
The allegations claim DeWine's administration implemented unconstitutional orders in response to the pandemic. In a statement shared with local news outlets, Becker's office blasted DeWine, alleging:
"mismanagement, malfeasance, misfeasance, abuse of power, and other crimes include, but are not limited to, meddling in the conduct of a presidential primary election, arbitrarily closing and placing curfews on certain businesses, while allowing other businesses to remain open."The group of state Republican lawmakers argues that DeWine violated Ohioans' civil liberties by issuing a stay-at-home order and requiring them to wear masks. They have argued that the face covering rule "promotes fear, turns neighbors against neighbors, and contracts the economy by making people fearful to leave their homes."
The university recently carried out a review of issues specific to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and faculty. One section of the report, citing feedback from "some black students," said that there were "linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions" such as "blackmail" and "black sheep." The document described the terms as "divisive and not inclusive."
According to the Telegraph, the university's students' union recommended that such terms and "any other use of the word 'black' as an adjective to express negative connotations" should be prohibited in research papers, lecture slides, and books published by professors. The student group claims that there is a "colonial history" attached to using black as an adjective, and that the practice should be done away with, especially following the ascendance of the global Black Lives Matter movement.
As the British paper points out, the allegedly racist roots of the word are disputed by experts.
