Bill is 'a dumpster fire' that threatens to incinerate free speech' at Ohio's colleges - Opinion

CSU logo
The only Republican to vote against the Second Amendment and "Constitutional Carry" in the Ohio General Assembly has yet another unsolicited "gift" for conservatives — a speech code fit for a dictator.

Senate Bill 83 is a dumpster fire that threatens to incinerate free speech in higher education.

Speaking as a conservative Republican who just so happens to be a law professor at Cleveland State University and Sen. Jerry Cirino's constituent in Lake County, his proposed legislation is a poorly disguised big government takeover of Ohio's colleges and universities.

Professor: 'We can't take this lying down.' Draconian bill aimed at OSU, other colleges

If I were a state senator rather than a faculty senator, I would vote "no" on Senate Bill 83 and introduce something positive, like a 100% property tax exemption for seniors.

SOTT Focus: Tucker Carlson's Heritage Speech: 'Evil Forces Have Re-instituted Child Sacrifice'


Comment: Great short speech from Carlson, on the nature of good and evil, and evil's takeover of the body politic in these times. And no, this is not just another polarizing 'hot take' in the 'culture wars'. Carlson specifically shares that he's been surprised to discover in recent years that he can no longer predict who among us will do, or stand up for, 'the right thing' based on their outward identity within a particular social milieu, or their self-declared political views...

"What you're watching is not a political movement, It's evil."

The side of evil is characterized by violence, hate, disorder, division, disorganization, and filth, Carlson said in remarks at the black-tie-optional affair at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center here. And praying to protect America against such things is something he too often forgets to do, he told a ballroom audience of about 2,000.

The battle is not about economics or policy papers, Carlson said, as it was in 1991 when he began his first job at The Heritage Foundation as a fact-checker on the same day communist hard-liners staged a coup in the Soviet Union. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)

"The side of good is characterized by calmness, tranquility, peace, lack of conflict, cleanliness," Carlson said. "And evil is characterized by their opposites."

Now, the Fox News host said, those on the side of goodness must assess and challenge phenomena such as the transgender and pro-abortion movements — and the old mindset won't work.

Comment: Watch the full speech here. It's just 17 minutes long. He follows it with two further insightful comments in the Q & A:

Update 24 April 2023

And... he's gone! Fox News, presumably under pressure from the 'intelligence community', has fired him.

It was great while it lasted, but the pathocracy couldn't stand him any longer. Thanks for the truth-telling Tucker!

UN, globalists seek to decriminalise sex with minors

In tandem with another globalist organisation, two UN bodies have published a report that outlines an agenda to decriminalise all 'consensual' sexual activity, even between adults and minors.

While it is couched in 'human rights' and 'trans rights', the report outlines a strategy that would effectively make Pedophilia legal.

Fox News reports that "international legal experts" working for the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), along with UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), made the suggestions in a recent report titled "The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty."

The report calls for offenses pertaining to "sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty" to be decriminalized.

The document does not offer a suggested age of sexual consent, but states that "Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday that Moscow was expelling more than 20 German diplomats, the RIA Novosti news agency said, as Berlin said some Russian diplomats had left Germany.

A German Foreign Ministry official said Berlin and Moscow had been in contact about their respective representations in the last few weeks with the aim of reducing Russia's intelligence presence in Germany.

"Today's departure of Russian embassy staff is related to this," said the official. The German ministry declined to say how many Russian diplomats had left.

International news agency Reuters has published an interview with a Ukrainian recruit codenamed "Adolf." The footage is the latest in a long line of videos, photos, and stories linking Kiev's forces with Nazi ideology.

In a post to Twitter on Friday, Reuters described how "newly recruited servicemen for the Spartan storm brigade" were practicing at an undisclosed location in Kharkov Region. "A serviceman with the nom-de-guerre 'Adolf' said they had been trained in 'first aid, tactics, [and] firing drills'," the agency added.

In an accompanying video, 'Adolf' spoke to Reuters about the drills. A caption identified him by his apparently Nazi-influenced moniker, a title that was also visible on a patch on his vest.

According to the Ukrainian media, relatives of servicemen of the 129th separate territorial defense brigade formed in Krivoy Rog are participating in the action. They are concerned about the situation in which their relatives and friends found themselves, thrown to the front line.

According to the wives and mothers of servicemen, their relatives were sent to the front line in their own vehicles. There are no armored vehicles in the unit, from weapons issued only one machine gun. The militants of the territorial defense complain to their relatives about the lack of food and water: they are simply not brought to their positions.

They were thrown to the front line without anything - one of the protesters said to the press.

Former US president Donald Trump has promised to put a swift end to the bloodshed in Ukraine should he be elected again in 2024. The Republican also trashed the incumbent Joe Biden's foreign policy, claiming it has made the world a more dangerous place.

Speaking to his supporters in Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday, Trump said: "Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I'll get it settled very quickly."

He explained that he "know[s] both" Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.

Latest Twitter Files drop finally explains Musk's "Prosecute/Fauci" 'pronouns'

Recently dropped documents, dubbed the "FauciPharmaFiles," are calling into question the credibility of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's "leading expert" on infectious diseases. The documents, obtained from an internal Twitter report, reveal that Fauci may have been less than truthful about his use of Twitter during his sworn deposition in November 2022.

In December, Elon Musk tweeted, "My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci." At the time, not many were familiar with what the new Twitter owner was referring to.


Comment: Love him or hate him, Musk is rendering an important public service in releasing information about Twitter's role in inciting panic over a bad flu and stampeding populations into taking untested gene therapies. Jailing Fauci for life is only the beginning of the prosecutions that ought to take place.

Controversial bill to loosen Iowa child labor laws advances

A bill that would loosen Iowa's child labor laws advanced this week as advocacy groups decried proposed labor guidelines.

Iowa's GOP-controlled state Senate early Tuesday morning passed the bill 32-17 to approve extended work hours for teenagers and allowing them to serve alcohol under certain conditions. The Des Moines Register reported that proposal has sparked labor union protests and criticism from the U.S. Labor Department's top lawyer, Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda, who said it would contribute to the number of children who are working illegally at some workplace.

The vote was largely split down party lines, but two Republicans joined all Democrats who voted against the bill.

The legislation, which would still need to be passed by the House and signed by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) before it is enacted, would allow children under the age of 16 to work up to six hours a day, which is two more hours than the current threshold. It also extends how late children can work to 9 p.m. during the school year and 11 p.m. during the summer.
