Controversial California Laws Take Effect January 1st – Including Punishing Doctors For COVID “Misinformation”

 

California is a disaster.

 

Multiple controversial laws are set to go into effect in California.

 

One law would allow for doctors to face discipline for COVID “misinformation” — this includes information on if vaccines are effective.

 

Another law would seal the criminal records of at least 225,000 Californians.

Benedict XVI, reluctant pope who chose to retire, dies at 95.

 

VATICAN CITY (AP) — He was the reluctant pope, a shy bookworm who preferred solitary walks in the Alps and Mozart piano concertos to the public glare and majesty of Vatican pageantry. When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI and was thrust into the footsteps of his beloved and charismatic predecessor, he said he felt a guillotine had come down on him.

 

So it should have come as little surprise that with a few words uttered in Latin on a Vatican holiday in 2013, Benedict ended it all, announcing that he would become the first pope in 600 years to resign.

 

His dramatic exit paved the way for Pope Francis’ election and created the unprecedented arrangement of two popes, living side-by-side in the Vatican gardens. And it likely won’t be a one-off, given that Francis has said Benedict “opened the door” for other popes to follow suit.

Zelensky signs media regulation bill, leading to fears of possible censorship

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week signed a major media regulation bill that critics say raises the possibility of heavy censorship in the embattled nation.

 

The law gives increased powers to the state’s media regulator, allowing it further control over the country’s online and print media. It was passed as part of an ongoing national effort to satisfy European Union membership criteria.

 

Earlier versions of the bill had given the regulator more power to fine and/or shut down media outlets it deemed in violation of the law. Those provisions were relaxed as the bill made its way through the country’s parliament.

 

Nevertheless, speech advocates and media officials criticized even the revised bill as insufficiently protective of free speech and media prerogatives.

 

“Ukraine will demonstrate its European commitment by promoting a free and independent media, not by establishing state control of information,” European Federation of Journalists General Secretary Ricardo Gutiérrez said on Friday.
