Liberals In Massachusetts Just Lowered The Abortion Age & Eliminated Need For Parental Consent

 

Massachusetts' legislature overrode its Republican governor's veto of a bill on Tuesday that increased abortion access in all sorts of ways, including allowing 16-year-old girls to get abortions without parental consent.

 

Announced earlier this month, the bill codified the landmark judgment in Roe v. Wade and permits abortions after 24 weeks if the child isn't expected to endure the birth. Gov. Charlie Baker explained that while he agreed with some of the bill's terms, he couldn't agree with one that lowered the age of consent from 18 to 16 years of age for receiving the procedure.

 

Baker told lawmakers he backed the provision permitting abortions at 24 weeks and eliminating a 24-hour waiting period, according to WBUR.

 

"However, I cannot support the sections of this proposal that expand the availability of later term abortions and permit minors age 16 and 17 to get an abortion without the consent of a parent or guardian," he reportedly stated.

 

The governor would have wanted a revision of the 24-week provision to enable abortions if a medical professional predicted "a substantial risk to" the patient's physical or mental health. As established, the bill's

 

language approved abortions "if it is necessary, in the best medical judgment of the physician, to preserve the patient's physical or mental health."

 

The state's Democratic-controlled Senate and House overwhelmingly denied Baker's veto. The Senate's 32-8 vote appeared just a day after the House's vote of 107-46.

 

Tuesday's passage marks another win for Democrats who are attempting to pre-empt a potential Supreme Court judgment overturning Roe – a prospect that appeared as even more likely with Amy Coney Barrett's consent to the Supreme Court.

 

Massachusetts' law faced opposition from organizations like Catholic Action League and Massachusetts Citizens for Life. In a statement issued Tuesday, the anti-abortion group

 

Susan B. Anthony List blasted the law.

 

"This dangerous new law allows for late-term abortion on-demand across Massachusetts, and secret abortions for minor girls as young as 16," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "Governor Baker is pro-choice, but this legislation was too much for him to stomach: his veto exemplifies just how extreme it is."

 

"The actions taken by Democrats to ram through this legislation are a reflection of just how extreme the party has become on abortion. Led by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats’ agenda for the entire nation is reflected in this bill: abortion on-demand, up until the moment of birth."

 

Meanwhile, the bill found backing from NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, which praised it as a win for women's rights. "Today gender equality took a massive step forward," tweeted Rebecca Hart Holder, the group's executive director.

Georgia Court to Hear Petition to Inspect Fulton County Absentee Ballots

 

The Superior Court of Fulton County is set to hear a petition next week from a group of Georgian voters demanding a “forensic inspection” of mail-in ballots in the county from November’s presidential election.

 

“We have just received notice that we will be granted a hearing Monday, Jan. 4 at 11 a.m. on our Emergency Petition to visually inspect and forensically examine all Fulton County mail-in ballots,” Garland Favorito, one of the petitioners, told The Epoch Times. “That includes those processed at State Farm Arena and those that auditors detected as potentially fraudulent.”

 

The petitioning voters, organized by VoterGA, are seeking to visually inspect all Fulton County’s mail-in ballots, rescan them for a forensic exam, and obtain electronic copies of the Dominion ballot images and standard election reports. They cited a resolution unanimously passed by Georgia Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee this Wednesday, which demands the county to make its ballots “available for inspection” in a way that’s almost identical to the relief sought in the petition.

 

The questions regarding the integrity of Fulton County’s mail-in ballots arose from security camera footage of workers processing ballots on election night. The viral video showed suitcases, purportedly holding tens of thousands of ballots, being taken out from underneath a skirted table by a group of workers, who appeared to be scanning the same batches of ballots repeatedly after poll watchers and media were told counting was done for the day.

 

While the repeated scanning could have been a legitimate action due to machine errors, workers in such a scenario are supposed to discard the whole batch of scans and scan the ballots again. The video quality, however, makes it hard to tell if that was indeed the case in each instance.

 

Digital ID systems inventor Jovan Pulitzer, who testified before the subcommittee, said that he and his team could detect if that was the case, and that it can be done in hours.

 

“We would be able to tell if they were folded, if they were counterfeit, whether they were filled out by a human hand, whether they were printed by a machine, whether they were batch-fed continually over and over, we can detect every bit of that,” Pulitzer said.

 

The ballot paper itself, when scanned, becomes a piece of code, he explained. Every time the paper is physically handled, such as folded or written upon, the code would change and the change can be detected.

 

Georgia is one of the states where election results are being contested by the campaign of President Donald Trump and others. The current count in the state shows former Vice President Joe Biden ahead by some 12,000 votes.

The Hillary-Ukraine Connection

 

“Blue Star Strategies CEO Tramontano pitched that she could give Lutsenko, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General, access to high levels of the Clinton campaign,” Tom Fitton stated Friday.

 

An ongoing Judicial Watch investigation into the Biden family’s dealings in Ukraine has produced bombshell revelations about the Clinton campaign and Burisma – exposing the so-called “Kyiv – Washington gravy train,” as State Department official George Kent termed it in 2016. According to Judicial Watch’s findings, Burisma’s lobbying firm, Blue Star Strategies sought to offer its services to then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General, Yuriy Lutsenko, in “giving him access to high levels of the Clinton campaign,” Fitton explained.

 

“You’ve got the top prosecutor in Ukraine that could put Burisma in jail, getting an offer of free help from Burisma’s lobbying firm and and help to contact and deal with potentially the incoming president [Hillary Clinton]”

 

As the emails indicate, George Kent and others in the Obama State Department were aware of the corruption surrounding Burisma and Blue Star Strategies. George Kent, a key Trump impeachment witness wrote of the “Kyiv-Washington gravy train,” ostensibly referring to what was widely known in the Obama State Department as “shady dealings between Burisma and the Clinton Foundation.” In fact, as Fitton elaborated, the CEO at Blue Star Strategies, Karen Tramontano, had previously served under John Podesta as the Deputy Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, and was likely to return to the White House in a similar role under a potential Hillary Clinton administration.

 

As Fitton concluded:

 

“This smoking gun email is not the result of a DOJ or congressional investigation. It’s the result of a Judicial Watch investigation. It shows the Obama admin knew too well that Burisma and its lobbying firm connected to Hunter Biden was influence peddling in Ukraine and in Washington, and had connected it all to the Clinton campaign.”

How Social Engineers Use Weaponized Psychology to Push Unproven Vaccines

 

In the coming months, a warp-speed, unprecedentedly rushed COVID-19 vaccine will likely be approved and subsequently introduced to market.

 

Whereas most vaccines take ten or more years to develop at a minimum – a necessary precaution to screen for adverse reactions in human test subjects who receive them — the COVID-19 vaccines currently in development across the globe will likely make it to market in less than a year from the starting line.

 

The monkey wrench in the pharmaceutical machinery, though, may prove to be widespread (and rightful) skepticism on the part of the public regarding the safety and/or efficacy of the eventual vaccine.

 

That people will be harmed by the COVID-19 vaccine once it is introduced to the public is inevitable. All vaccines, which re-jigger the immune system to produce antibodies against the targeted pathogen, can cause adverse reactions in a small percentage of the populations that receive them — even the safest, most thoroughly vetted ones.

 

This scientific, physiological reality is not disputed even by vaccine advocates. In fact, in the last 30 years, the U.S. government (using taxpayer money) has compensated victims of adverse reactions to vaccines to the tune of $4.4 billion. The COVID-19 vaccine will be no exception in terms of the damage it will inflict – in fact, because of the rushed nature of the vetting process and the proposed population-wide vaccination regimen, it will likely be far more destructive than previous vaccines in terms of scale.

 

Despite the serious health risks assumed by taking a vaccine pushed so rapidly through the vetting process, some Americans will undoubtedly roll up their sleeves. Others, though, will not; in fact, the number of Americans who hesitate to commit to taking the vaccine has been steadily rising since the novel coronavirus outbreak began.

 

In a recent Gallup poll on Americans’ willingness to submit to a COVID-19 vaccine, a mere half of the respondents said they would be willing to receive the vaccine once it becomes available.

 

This hesitancy on the part of the American public poses a potentially unforeseen dilemma for pharmaceutical firms and their cronies in government, which have spent billions developing these vaccines at breakneck speed: how best to prod, cajole, shame, or otherwise manipulate the American citizenry into accepting the vaccine once it has achieved FDA approval?

 

We can already see several strategies at work in this regard; the PR campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccination is now approaching climax.

 

Humans are hardwired to seek inclusion in social groups. In earlier epochs, our survival depended obviously and heavily on the social groups to which we belonged. Although the material reality of life has changed dramatically for humans since the dawn of civilization, those social imperatives carved deep into our innate psychology have remained.

 

Social engineers know and understand the basic desire for social inclusion, and use it as a tool.

 

Humans intuit the in-group/out-group dynamic. We are sensitive to lines drawn between insiders and outsiders and, whether consciously or subconsciously, modify our behavior to fit the mold of the inside group. If atomized outsiders can be convinced that the “insiders” in society get vaccinated, they are more likely to adopt conformative behavior as a result.

 

You can glimpse this strategy at play in public campaigns to promote vaccination. Consider the following graphic from Healthy Newborn Network:

Seattle man, 59, who managed cadavers for research is arrested after he 'dumped 24 limbs and five skulls belonging to donated bodies in Arizona forest'

 

A man who ran a business managing cadavers for research has been arrested for allegedly dumping human body parts, including five skulls, in an Arizona forest.

 

Walter Mitchell, 59, was found in Scottsdale and arrested on Tuesday after Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies discovered 19 humans limbs scattered across two remote areas in Prescott on Saturday December 26.

 

The next day five more limbs and five skulls were found.

 

Investigators determined based off the materials found at the two sites, such as gauze and puppy pads used at hospitals for patients who are incontinent, that the remains were related and likely came from the same suspect.

 

Police said that the bodies were connected to a business Mitchell owned in Seattle called Future GenX that was recently closed and was involved in the management of cadavers for release.

 

Mitchell left Seattle earlier this year, relocating to the Valley and he brought with him the donated human remains that belonged to five individuals from the Seattle-area, then allegedly spread the remains in the wilderness.

 

Mitchell was included in 2017 report by Reuters on body donations as the former owner of BioGift, an Oregon body-donation firm. He was described as a 'veteran body broker.'

 

Generally labs and companies that accept cadavers for science and research are supposed to cremate the bodies afterwards at no cost to the person's family.

 

Mitchell has been charged with 28 counts of unlawful discarding of human remains.

 

According to the law, it is illegal for a person to knowingly move a body or remains with an intent to abandon them.

Shocking state-by-state breakdown of America's vaccination failure reveals just 2.6m people from 20m target have had their shot: NYC, Utah and Oregon have administered only 20% of their refrigerated doses which are set to expire in weeks

 

Twenty days into the largest mass vaccination program in U.S. history, questions are mounting about why the rollout is proceeding so slowly, even as the coronavirus pandemic kills Americans at record rates.

 

As of New Year's Eve, roughly 12.4 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been distributed to states, but only 2.8 million of those doses have actually been administered, according to CDC data.

 

Both numbers are far below the 20 million doses that Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar vowed to have administered by the end of the year - and woefully behind the 100 million doses that President Donald Trump boasted would be administered by January 1.

 

Perhaps most pathetically, nationwide just 8 percent of the 2.2 million distributed doses dedicated for residents of long-term care facilities have been administered thus far.

 

The failures have been blamed on various factors, including lack of federal oversight, chaos in distribution, 'woke' governors setting convoluted priorities for initial distribution, and the simple lack of staff to administer jabs in overstretched healthcare systems.

Israel, U.S. vote against UN budget for 2021

 

Israel and the United States voted against the UN budget for 2021, during the convening of the General Assembly of the World Organization.

Every year the UN budget passes by consensus, but this time the two countries voted against it, among other things, due to the UN's intention to budget an event to mark the 20th anniversary of the Durban Review Conference - an anti-racism conference that Israel claims has been used by anti-Israel organizations to attack Israel.

"We all know that such funds will not be used to support human rights, but to spread anti-Semitism and hatred towards Israel," said Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan.

A THIRD of US rivers have changed from blue to green and yellow over three decades as scientists suspect pollution may be to blame

 

Thousands of rivers across the US have significantly changed color over the last 36 years, a new study reveals.

 

A team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed 235,000 satellite images taken from 1984 through 2018 and found one-third of rivers have transitioned from blue to green and yellow.

 

More than half of rivers observed had changed to yellow, while 38 percent turned green – only six percent were found to be blue.

 

Although the team is unsure what causes the changes, they note it can be caused by algae, sediment amount or human pollution.

 

These shifts, according to the researchers, also allows scientists to 'pinpoint rivers undergoing rapid environmental change' and see how these changes are playing out on a global scale.

 

'Because large rivers integrate millions of kilometers of land area, understanding rivers and their impairments is inherently macroscale: both distant and local impacts generate the patterns we observe,' the researchers wrote in the study published in Geophysical Research Letters.

 

People have long judged water quality by its color, but the hue can also reveal the overall health of macro-scale river networks.

 

Specific colors provide clues to what is occurring below the surface, such as the amount of sediment, algae and dissolved organic carbon in water.

 

In the study, John Gardner and his team analyzed a trove of satellite images from NASA and United States Geological Survey's (USGS) Landsat program that were snapped over a 34-year span.

Elon Musk continues his California firesale: Tesla chief offloads another three more properties in single Bel Air cul-de-sac for $40.9million - as he continues his exodus to Texas in protest at Golden State lockdowns

 

Elon Musk has sold three more homes in Los Angeles' ritzy Bel Air neighborhood, following through with his vow earlier this year to 'own no house'.

 

The three neighboring properties on an exclusive cul-de-sac, which sold for a combined $40.9 million, all closed between December 21 and 22, according to the Los Angeles Times.

 

The identity of the buyer wasn't immediately clear, although in July DailyMail.com reported that a letter of intent to buy two of the properties was signed by Arya Chalon, LLC, a new entity led by prolific mega-mansion developer and designer Ardie Tavangarian.

 

After Musk tweeted in May that he planned to sell off his earthly possessions, the Tesla billionaire quickly listed a total of seven California mansions for sale, six of them closely adjacent in exclusive Bel Air.

Congress overrides Trump NDAA veto

 

Congress delivered a stinging rebuke to President Trump on Friday, handing him his first veto override in the final days of his administration.

 

The GOP-controlled Senate met during a rare New Years Day session and, though the vote is still open, more than two-thirds have voted to override Trump’s veto of a mammoth defense bill, underscoring the depth of disagreement between the two sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.

 

The House voted earlier this week to nix Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which greenlights spending levels and lays out policy for the Pentagon.

 

It caps off a chaotic session for Congress that started with the longest government shutdown in modern history, included an impeachment trial and is now closing in a rare rebuke of Trump. In addition to the veto fight, Senate Republicans effectively killed the president’s demand for an increase in recently-passed stimulus checks and next week Congress will ultimately reject a long-shot attempt by conservatives to hand the election to Trump.

 

But the veto fight over the NDAA is in many ways a culmination of years-long, deep divisions between congressional Republicans and the president when it comes to defense and national security policy, which started almost as soon as he took over the White House with a months-long fight over Russia sanctions.

 

“It’s a serious responsibility,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said about the bill on Friday. “But it’s also a tremendous opportunity: to direct our national security priorities to reflect the resolve of the American people and the evolving threats to their safety, at home and abroad.”

 

The president warned for months that he would veto the defense bill, which with Friday’s veto vote will become law for the 60th year in a row, over language included in both the initial House and Senate bills requiring the Pentagon to change the names of Confederate-named military bases and installations.

 

As it became increasingly clear that Congress was moving forward with the bill, Trump also lashed out at the legislation because it did not include a repeal of Section 230, a shield used by tech companies, which GOP lawmakers argued was not related to the defense bill.

 

Trump’s veto statement also took aim at other parts of the legislation, including restrictions on his ability to remove troops from Afghanistan and Germany.

 

“My Administration has taken strong actions to help keep our Nation safe and support our service members. I will not approve this bill, which would put the interests of the Washington, D.C. establishment over those of the American people,” Trump wrote in his veto statement.

 

Trump’s decision to veto the bill — which came a day after McConnell publicly said he hoped the president would back down — forced Republicans to decide in the administration’s twilight whether or not to stick with a bill that initially passed with veto-proof majorities or side with the president, who maintains a vise-like grip on the party’s base.

UK Judge to Give Decision on Assange Extradition on Monday

 

Assange could face up to 175 years in prison for exposing US war crimes

 

On Monday, January 4th, the British judge presiding over the extradition trial of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will decide whether or not Assange will be extradited to the US and tried under the Espionage Act for exposing US war crimes.

 

If extradited, Assange could face up to 175 years in prison. President Trump’s Justice Department indicted the WikiLeaks founder on 17 counts of espionage and one count of conspiracy to commit a computer crime. The charges revolve around documents provided to WikiLeaks by former US Army soldier Chelsea Manning.

 

There have been rumors that President Trump is considering pardoning Assange, and many are urging him to do so. Assange’s fiancee Stella Moris made her case for the pardon recently on Fox News.

 

“The consequences of a trial against Julian don’t just affect him or us as a family because everyone agrees this is a terrible, terrible case. It’s a terrible case because it is the end of the first amendment,” she said.

 

Assange has been held in London’s Belmarsh Prison since April 2019. A UN special rapporteur, Nils Melzer, has likened Assange’s treatment in Belmarsh to torture. Melzer recently spoke out against the extradition, accusing the US of criminalizing journalism.

 

“In essence, the United States is trying to criminalize investigative journalism. That’s the purpose of the extradition request, nothing else,” Melzer said.

The Rich Got Richer During COVID-19 — Here’s How American Billionaires Performed

 

We’ve all been affected by the pandemic-induced mayhem of 2020. But, as Visual Capitalist’s Carmen Ang notes, when it comes to finances, some have fared far better than others.

 

While job loss persists for Americans making less than $20 an hour, the rich have gotten richer. More specifically, the most wealthy American billionaires have seen their net worth bounce back dramatically, thanks to strong stock market performance.

 

Here’s a look at who’s gotten richer since the market bottom in March 2020, and just how much their net worth has increased since then:

 

Billionaire Net Worth Growth in 2020

 

Between March’s market bottom and December 2020, the billionaires included on this list grew their wealth by 57% on average. Interestingly, that’s about 10 percentage points higher than the overall growth of the S&P 500 index during the same time period.

 

Elon Musk saw the highest increase during this period, with a $129 billion boost in net worth—that’s a whopping 523% in gains.

 

This makes sense considering the year Musk has had. Tesla’s market value has skyrocketed throughout 2020, and SpaceX’s long-term valuation doubled after making some monumental strides in the private space industry.

 

Jeff Bezos saw the second highest growth in net worth with a $74 billion increase. This isn’t surprising, given that Amazon’s stock price has climbed 69% since the beginning of 2020.

 

But Amazon hasn’t been the only company to benefit from the accelerated e-commerce market—other retailers, like Nike, have also seen a significant boost in online sales this year as well.

Billionaire Wealth in General is Up

 

It’s not just the billionaires on this list who have increased their wealth. In fact, during the pandemic, billionaire wealth on average has increased 27% worldwide. Growth has been exceptionally strong in tech and healthcare.

How Netanyahu's criminal gang took over Israel - opinion

 

His harsh critics point out that Netanyahu is a very intelligent and educated man. The greatest mobsters in history have also been very intelligent. Meyer Lansky was the most prominent of them.

 

I was appointed by Yitzhak Shamir as a minister in the unity government of 1988. (Likud plus Labor alone numbered 79 MKs. Together with Shas and Agudat Yisrael the coalition numbered 90 MKs.) Shamir added Dan Meridor as justice minister and Roni Milo as environmental affairs minister. We were all in our early 40s, and the triple appointment left a great impression on the political system.

 

The person who was not appointed as a minister at the time was Benjamin Netanyahu. Shamir did not exactly admire the theatrical style, the manners of an American senator, with all the wishful scenery that were part of Bibi’s theater from his first day in party politics.

 

Yitzhak Shamir had no issue keeping Bibi as a deputy minister, David Levy’s deputy. With the cunning that Shamir did not lack, he thought there would be fierce competition between Bibi and Levy, whose public style, extreme sensitivity to his status and relative weakness at the time with international contacts were at odds with Bibi’s relative advantages.

 

Already then, an almost automatic rivalry was created between Bibi and me, Roni Milo and Meridor. Bibi began his race for the Likud leadership. The presence of three young men about his age in the public hierarchy (I am the oldest of the four) created an almost spontaneous tension between him and us. Bibi realized that the three new ministers were potential rivals on his way to the top.

 

Bibi asked to meet with me for lunch at the then-famous Shemesh Restaurant at the intersection of Ben Yehuda and Ben Hillel streets in Jerusalem. There was already by then a fairly common rumor about Bibi’s stinginess, so right at the beginning of the meeting I told him, as I did over the years on the occasions we met for dinner, that because I wanted it to have a pleasant atmosphere (and because it was important that he was relaxed), I would pay for both the meal and the tip. Bibi, of course, did not protest.

Military-Technical Cooperation Between Israel And Germany

 

The military-technical cooperation (MTC) of Israel with foreign partners is determined by the military-political course pursued by the country’s leadership, aimed at ensuring national security, strengthening the influence of Tel Aviv in the region and in the world as a whole. As the most important component of support for the national military-industrial complex (MIC), it contributes to military and technical dominance over the Arab states of the region. The country’s modern MIC, which has a high-tech research and production base, has a significant impact on the development of the Israeli economy.

 

In terms of sales of military and dual-use products, Israel ranks seventh in the world after the United States, Russia, France, Germany, China and the United Kingdom. Over the past 5 years, it has accounted for about 3% of global arms exports. The main volumes of supplies of weapons and military equipment of the Jewish state fall on the countries of South, South-East Asia and the Far East. In 2014-2018, the share of this region in Israel’s total exports was about 61%, with a significant part of it going to the CIS countries (about 18%) and Europe (9%).

 

The leadership of the state pays special attention to consolidating its positions in the arms market of European states, as well as to finding new consumers of military and dual-use products, both of its own and joint production. One of Israel’s main European partners in the field of military-technical cooperation is Germany.

 

Cooperation between Israeli and German military-industrial companies cover a wide range of issues and includes both the production of new and modernisation of existing models of military equipment. It should be noted that within the framework of cooperation, samples of military and dual-use products are also produced, intended for export to third countries. It is noteworthy that Germany regularly allocates subsidies to the Israeli side for the purchase of German-made military equipment, which contributes to the strengthening of bilateral military-technical ties. Berlin’s provision of financial resources to Tel Aviv is carried out within the framework of the concept of “Germany’s special responsibility for the security of the Jewish state”.

 

Currently, the two governments are implementing an agreement for the construction of four Saar-6 corvettes* with guided missile weapons for the needs of the Israeli Navy. They are a modernised version of the German ship of the project “Meko A100”. Laying and most of the hull work is carried out by the German shipbuilding concern Thyssen-Krupp Marine Systems at the German Naval Yard Kiel in Kiel. The total cost of the contract is about 480 million dollars, of which 130 million are allocated by the German authorities.

 

The arrival of the lead corvette “Magen” in Israel and its subsequent transfer to Tel Aviv is scheduled for the first half of 2020 at the end of a series of sea trials. Work on the installation of weapons and basic support systems is planned to be carried out on site by the Israeli MIC. The ship is expected to be commissioned into the Navy not earlier than 2021, the transfer of the second and third (“Oz” and “Atsmaut”, respectively) is scheduled for 2020, the last of the series (“Nitshon”), at the end of 2021.

From the New York Daily News:

 

A Jewish Brooklyn man faces hate crime charges for allegedly scrawling messages on four synagogues, and burglarizing one of them, during an hour-long crime spree.

 

Emil Benjamin, 39, was charged Thursday with burglary and criminal mischief as a hate crime in connection with the early Saturday spree.

 

Benjamin told the Daily News in 2011, after he was stabbed on a Brooklyn subway platform, that he's a Kavkazi Jew.

 

One of the biggest stories of 2017, which was hyped by the ADL and the media, was a string of over 245 bomb threats called into Jewish Community Centers throughout America.

 

The threats were used to harangue President Trump for "emboldening anti-Semites" and legislation was passed to increase funding and security grants to Jewish groups.

Second Stimulus Check Not Enough, Black Lives Matter 'Demands Monthly Checks'

 

The Black Lives Matter movement "demands" monthly payments for Americans

The economic shutdown has disproportionately affected Black-owned businesses

People of color are also more at risk of being evicted from their homes

 

Black Lives Matter said Thursday the $600 stimulus checks included in the most recent coronavirus relief bill are not enough to help struggling families and businesses stay afloat. It is now demanding monthly checks instead.

 

The social movement group took to Twitter, where it noted businesses owned by Black people have declined by 40% and 40 million are at risk of losing their homes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

“Black families are struggling to keep roofs over their heads, food in their bellies, and healthcare covered,” Black Lives Matter posted on Twitter. “This isn't about a stimulus. This is about survival. And $600 ain’t it. We demand monthly checks.”

 

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government was forced to impose lockdowns to curb the virus's spread. African American businesses suffered the most among racial groups in the country because of this.

 

A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research showed that 440,000 African Americans were sidelined by the shutdown of small businesses across the nation. At least 41% of Black owners shut their doors between February to April as few were deemed “essential.”

 

“The negative early-stage impacts on minority- and immigrant-owned businesses, if prolonged, may be problematic for broader racial inequality because of the importance of minority businesses for local job creation, economic advancement, and longer-term wealth inequality,” said Robert Fairlie, the report's author from the University of California, noted Bloomberg.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Distilleries That Made Hand Sanitizer Hit With FDA Fees

 

When cities and states across America locked down to stop the spread of COVID-19, distilleries lost key moneymaking opportunities, from the loss of tourism to the closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, to the loss of in-store sampling. Despite these struggles, many distilleries decided to give back to the community by making hand sanitizer when communities across America suffered shortages. The government has rewarded this generosity with a bill — for $14,000.

 

“At the beginning of the pandemic the FDA and our communities called out for help and distillers enthusiastically stepped up to the plate and provided an essential product to medical workers and first responders,” Aaron Bergh, a craft distiller and owner of Calwise Spirits on California’s Central Coast, told The San Joaquin Valley Sun on Wednesday. “No good deed goes unpunished.”

 

When the pandemic led to a massive increase in demand for hand sanitizer this spring, distilleries stepped up to alleviate the shortage. Since the main ingredient in sanitizer is ethanol, it proved relatively easy for distillers to switch from making whisky or vodka to producing hand sanitizer. More than 800 distilleries stepped up to provide hand sanitizer, offering it for sale or, in many cases, donating it to their communities at no charge.

 

Yet this heroic effort made distilleries vulnerable to crippling fees — just as many of them face new lockdowns amid another COVID-19 surge.

 

As Reason‘s Jacob Grier explained, the CARES Act reformed the regulation of non-prescription drugs. Under the law, distilleries that produced hand sanitizer are classified as “over-the-counter drug monograph facilities.” The CARES Act also slapped user fees on these facilities — in order to fund the FDA’s regulatory activities.

 

Small distillers are closing out 2020 facing a surprise bill for $14,060 due on February 11.

 

Yet the story gets even more perverse. Not only did the CARES Act penalize distilleries’ good deeds, but it did so in order to fund the FDA’s regulation — regulation that hampered distilleries in their attempt to provide much-needed hand sanitizer.

 

As the distillers launched into their heroic actions, the FDA imposed additional requirements on top of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for emergency sanitizer production. The FDA mandated that all alcohol used in hand sanitizer must first be denatured — rendered undrinkable — raising costs for distillers and slowing production.

 

Now, distillers have to foot the bill for the very regulation that made it harder for them to do their good deeds. All this at a time of increased uncertainty amid new lockdowns.

 

“It’s apparent the FDA has decided they don’t need us anymore and it’s in their best interest to suck us dry when we’re already struggling during the pandemic’s business closures,” Bergh remarked.

 

In a statement on Wednesday, Bergh said his distillery produced 5,000 gallons of hand sanitizer, prioritizing distribution to medical workers and those on the frontlines of the pandemic. “Some of my hand sanitizer was donated,” he explained. “The rest was sold at a fraction of the market price. My goal was to get as much out as I could, at as low of a price as I could, while being able to bring my furloughed employees back to work. The hand sanitizer business saved me from bankruptcy—but I didn’t make an enormous profit.”

 

Becky Harris, president of the American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) and a distiller in Purcellville, Va., compared the new fees to surprise medical billing. She told Reason that the ACSA is advising members not to pay the fee right away.
