Virginia eliminates degree requirements for most state jobs

State Secretary of Labor Bryan Slater further, in the same release, indicated that the state was looking into heavily regulated private industries to streamline the professional certification processes.

Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday announced a change in state hiring practices that would eliminate requirements or preferences that applicants for most state positions have a college degree.

A press release from Youngkin indicated that the change will take effect on July 1 and affect roughly 90% of state positions. The Old Dominion's myriad agencies post as many as 20,000 job listings per year.

"On day one we went to work reimagining workforce solutions in government and this key reform will expand opportunities for qualified applicants who are ready to serve Virginians," Youngkin said in a statement.

"This landmark change in hiring practices for our state workforce will improve hiring processes, expand possibilities and career paths for job seekers and enhance our ability to deliver quality services," he continued. "Last month, Virginia achieved the highest labor force participation rate in nearly ten years demonstrating the Commonwealth's sustained workforce developments."

State Secretary of Labor Bryan Slater further, in the same release, indicated that the state was looking into heavily regulated private industries to streamline the professional certification processes.

"We are also working hard to examine regulated occupations and professions to find ways to simplify and speed up credentialing processes and universal licensing recognition for individuals who want to live and work in Virginia," he announced.

The move comes as American high school graduates increasingly opt against pursuing college degrees to due affordability and return on investment concerns.

President Joe Biden has moved to lessen the financial burden of incurring debt to pay for college by offering up to $10,000 in repayment relief for most loan recipients and up to $20,000 for those who received a Pell Grant, though that plan has faced legal scrutiny and may well end up permanently blocked by the judiciary. The proposed deal to raise the debt limit facing Congress includes a measure to end a temporary freeze on student loan repayments.

Noahide world order gang write it like that

NOAHIDE WORLD ORDER - NWO - Chabad Cult

The Mitzvot of Non-Jews

The perfection of the world requires the spreading of the seven Noahide commandments

These are the Seven Noahide Laws, as enumerated in the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 56a:

1 carry out justice - An imperative to pursue and enforce social justice, and a prohibition of any miscarriage of justice.

2 no blasphemy - Prohibits a curse directed at the Supreme Being.

3 no idolatry - Prohibits the worship of any human or any created thing. Also prohibited is the making of idols and involvement with the occult. This necessitates an understanding of the One G-d of Israel and His nature.

4 no illicit intercourse - Prohibits adultery, incest, homosexual intercourse and bestiality, according to Torah definitions.

5 no homicide - Prohibits murder and suicide. Causing injury is also forbidden.

6 no theft - Prohibits the wrongful taking of another's goods.

7 don't eat a limb of a living creature - Promotes the kind treatment of animal life. It also encourages an appreciation for all kinds of life and respect for nature as G-d's creation.

https://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/380332/jewish/The-Mitzvot-of-Non-Jews.htm

In Kabbala and Chassidut, the Seven Commandments are equiva­lent to the seven lower sefirot. The ten sefirot, through which G-d made the world and man, are divided into three "intellectual" attributes: Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge (chochma, bina, and daat), and seven "emotional" ones: Kindness, Might, Beauty, Eternity, Glory, Foundation and Sovereignty (chesed, gevura, tiferet, netzach, hod, yesod and malchut). The three intellectual attributes are associated with the Jewish people who provide the legal and spiritual interpretations of the Seven Laws to the descendants of Noah. Each law parallels one of the seven "emotional" sefirot.

A functioning judicial system corresponds to malchut, the lowest sefira, which rules in supremacy but is selflessly devoted to public service. This is the responsibility of good government. Our sages state, "War comes to the world through the delay of justice, the perversion of justice, and the teaching of Torah not in accordance with Jewish Law". (Avot 5:8) When both Jews and non-Jews can learn Torah without distortion of its halachic (Jewish legal) meaning, true peace becomes possible. This includes recognition of the principle that Jews can be judged only according to Torah law, no matter where in the world, and that non-Jews in Eretz Yisrael are considered according to the Seven Noahide Laws by the Jews there, with no sovereign jurisdiction of their own.

A Noachide who transgresses these seven commands shall be executed by decapitation.For this reason, all the inhabitants of Shechem were obligated to die. Shechem kidnapped. They observed and were aware of his deeds, but did not judge him.

A Noachide is executed on the basis of the testimony of one witness and the verdict of a single judge. No warning is required. Relatives may serve as witnesses. However, a woman may not serve as a witness or a judge for them.

FBI formally refuses to produce Biden probe memo to Congress, Comer to hold Wray in contempt

Showdown on contempt vote could occur early next month.

The FBI formally refused Tuesday to turn over to Congress an investigative memo alleging a bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, prompting the chairman of the House Oversight Committee to begin proceedings to hold Director Christopher Wray in contempt.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the panel's chairman, said he still plans to meet with Wray on Wednesday but declared the bureau's notification of refusing to comply with a subpoena to be unfortunate.

“Today, the FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee. The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable," Comer said.

"While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further, the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena," he added. "Americans deserve the truth, and the Oversight Committee will continue to demand transparency from this nation’s chief law enforcement agency."

Johns Hopkins Medicine gives staff 'inclusive' guide containing 50 pronouns employees can use on their ID badges

Johns Hopkins Medicine in Maryland provided its staff with an "inclusive" guide listing 50 different so-called pronouns that employees are allowed to use on their identification badges, according to documents recently obtained by Fox News Digital and the Daily Mail.

The pronoun-usage guide instructed staff on how to use various gender-neutral pronouns while working with patients and colleagues. Pronouns featured on the list included "Ae," "E/Ey," "Fae," "Per," "Ve," "Xe," and "Ze/Zie." Further, the guide explained to medical staff how to use the pronouns in a sentence.

"Ae cleaned the office all by aerself," the guide stated. "I gave faer the key."

In addition to pronoun usage, the JHM's language guide also advised staff to replace "Mr." and "Miss" with "Mx." when addressing "non-binary or gender-diverse people."

The guide, released by JHM's Office of Diversity, insisted that employees try to ask how someone prefers to identify.

"Always ask the person which they use if possible," it stated.

In March 2022, JHM updated its policy to allow its staff and employees to choose a name that aligns with their preferred gender identity to be featured on their identification badges and wristbands.

However, medical staff licensed in Washington, D.C., must carry badges that match their certification, according to Paula Neira, the program director for JHM's LGBTQ+ Equity and Education. Neira also noted that public safety officers must carry identification that matches their legal names.

In a podcast published by Johns Hopkins Medicine's Learning Technology & Innovation, Neira stated, "On the workforce side, for our people, we updated the ID badge policy this March of 2022 to allow us to use a chosen name on our ID badge."

Neira, a transgender Navy veteran, explained that there had been changes to Maryland law that allowed JHM to alter its policy.

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a retired professor and the former associate dean for curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, told Fox News Digital that communication between medical professionals and patients must be "clear."

Goldfarb serves as the board chair of Do No Harm, a group of medical professionals dedicated to "protect[ing] healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology."

He stated, "The most important component of the physician patient relationship is the ability to have clear and appropriate communication," Goldfarb said. "To use pronouns associated with one's identification badge suggests that an individual has a particular ideological and political perspective."

"For some patients, this may be off-putting and actually damage the physician, patient relationship," Goldfarb continued. "Also, using a name that suggests a different gender from what the patient can clearly identify also could damage the physician[-]patient relationship, and should be avoided."

A spokesperson for JHM told Fox News Digital that it is committed to "fostering a supportive, diverse and inclusive community."

"As part of this focus and in compliance with Federal and state regulations, we enable our faculty, staff and employees to choose the way their names are displayed on their identification badges," the spokesperson stated.

"There are many reasons individuals may choose how they are identified, for example, some people may prefer to use a middle name, have cultural distinctions or preferences, or have gender ambiguous names," the spokesperson continued. "JHM will continue to provide options to our community to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment."

House Oversight Committee to hold FBI director Chris Wray in contempt of Congress over refusal to turn over Biden docs

"Oversight Committee will now take steps to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress."

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has demanded that the FBI release documents pertaining to an alleged bribery scheme during Joe Biden's VP term under President Barack Obama, and the FBI has since refused to comply.

"Oversight Committee will now take steps to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress," reads a statement from the Committee.

The Committee issued a subpoena compelling the FBI to turn over those documents, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday morning threatened FBI director Christopher Wray with charges of contempt of Congress were he not to turn over the requested materials.

Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said that the FBI's refusal is "obstructionist and unacceptable."

“Today," Comer said, "the FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee. The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable.

"While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further, the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena. Americans deserve the truth, and the Oversight Committee will continue to demand transparency from this nation’s chief law enforcement agency.”

Comer and McCarthy have a call scheduled with Wray on Wednesday. McCarthy has said outright that the House has jurisdiction over the FBI.

On May 3, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley issued the subpoena to Biden's AG Merrick Garland regarding whistleblower disclosures showing that the FBI and DOJ hold documents regarding an alleged bribery scheme undertaken between Biden and a foreign national during his VP term.

"Based on those disclosures, it has come to our attention that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions."

"It has been alleged that the document includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose," the letter continued.

Comer and Grassley believe that "the DOJ and the FBI have enough information to determine the truth and accuracy of the information contained within it."

"The significant public interest in assessing the FBI’s response to this information, as well as growing concern about the DOJ and the FBI’s track record of allowing political bias to infect their decision-making process, necessitate exacting congressional oversight," they wrote in the subpoena.

"The DOJ and the FBI appear to have valuable, verifiable information that you have failed to disclose to the American people," they wrote, before indicating that there must be "an independent and objective review of this matter, free from those agencies’ influence."

Key Republican 'Anticipates' Moving Debt Deal Forward

Update (1700ET): As many expected, Rep. Thomas Massie - who sits on the Rules Committee, signaled late Tuesday afternoon that he 'anticipates' voting to move the debt deal forward.

Massie, a libertarian, was the deciding vote sitting on the 9-4 GOP-controlled panel over whether to move the legislation forward. He had previously told Bloomberg that he wouldn't use his position to decide the matter (as noted this AM by Punchbowl News):

“Over the past 10 years, I’ve been an advocate of regular order and trying to make things work, try to make this place work right. And I would be reluctant to try to use the Rules Committee to achieve a legislative outcome, particularly if it doesn’t represent a large majority of our caucus."

New South Wales Police are replacing tasers that have integrated cameras with new tasers without cameras

NSW Police are under fire for the "highly problematic" decision to replace their current tasers, which have integrated cameras, with newer tasers without cameras. The revelation comes less than a week after the death of Clare Nowland, 95, who was tasered by police at her nursing home in Cooma.
