Sunday Talks, Neil Oliver Outlines the Globalist Targeting, De-banking and De-personing of Nigel Farage

 

July 2, 2023 | Sundance

Neil Oliver’s monologues each week are even more critical in the intellectual pushback as the thoughts and monologues of Tucker Carlson. Neil articulates the issues and reaches an audience thirsting to understand just how corrupt the systems are that flow from the globalist and corporatist constructs.

 

Behind all the disparate institutional machinations, the larger objective of globalism and nationalism continue to present the most direct reference point of the conflict. Just as Donald Trump represents this dynamic clearly in the United States, within Europe UK political figure Nigel Farage has been the tip of the spear confronting globalism and representing the face of British nationalism.

 

As a result of this dynamic almost every multinational and corporate EU institution has attempted to destroy Nigel Farage. The latest example comes from the banking system in the U.K which has told Mr. Farage he will not be permitted to engage in banking, finance or commerce. Neil Oliver takes this example and puts the larger context into his monologue. WATCH:

US reveals reason for Afghanistan exit debacle

(Of fucking course! These assholes will never take full responsibility, because they never have. Obama spent 8 years blaming Bush for every bad choice he made, but they were buddies so Bush was ok with it. So Obama is doing the same thing for Bidan, blaming the past person, while not realizing this rant is too obvious and Obama’s excuse as a failure! This is so tiresome, are there any adults in government that will take the heat?)

An after-action report has blamed the failed evacuation from Kabul on the insistence of both Trump and Biden to quickly end the war

 

The US State Department released its long-awaited after-action report on the botched 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan on Friday.

 

The assessment blamed the snafu primarily on the insistence of Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden on going ahead with a full military withdrawal. The decision to “end the US military mission in Afghanistan had serious consequences for the viability of the Afghan government and its security,” it stated.

 

The loss of military “enablers” put Washington’s diplomatic presence in the country at risk, while the departure deadlines set first by the Trump and then the Biden administrations were not accompanied by a sufficiently detailed exit plan, according to the report.

 

Failure to prepare for disaster scenarios compounded the difficulties. “Crisis preparation and planning” were lacking, the report stated, because the State Department did not want to send the wrong “signals” to its Afghan counterparts. “Anything that might suggest the United States had lost confidence in the Afghan government” was to be avoided lest it “contribute to its collapse,” it explained.

 

No one, it suggests, could have predicted that the Afghan military– equipped with billions of dollars in US weapons and training – would lay down their arms almost immediately upon confronting the Taliban. They were expected to hold Kabul for “weeks, if not months.”

 

The report slammed the decision to turn over Bagram Air Base to the Afghan government, pointing out that this left only Hamid Karzai International Airport available for evacuations. Opting not to halt the routine annual personnel rotation at the embassy was also highlighted as a failure, as the report noted that this increased confusion on the ground.

 

Thereport largely absolved the State Departmentfrom responsibility for what is widely considered the worst US foreign policy disaster since the US withdrawal from Vietnam, praising the department for its “great agility, determination, and dedication” in “unique,” even “unprecedented”circumstances.

 

While admitting the embassy evacuation was poorly planned, the report stated that “once it got underway, the plan for closing the embassy compound and evacuating… proceeded well, considering the speed at which it was implemented.” This, it complained, was “overshadowed by the scenes of chaos and panic that ensued as tens of thousands of Afghans sought desperately to flee the country.”

 

It ended with a recommendation to “strengthen the department’s overall crisis preparedness and response capabilities,” with a dedicated office not subject to political concerns, and calls for minimizing the diplomatic presence on the ground in war zones, explaining the Covid-19 pandemic showed how many staffers can effectively work from home.

 

AState Department official refused reporters’ questions•• on Friday regarding why the report’s publication had been delayed and why it was released ahead of the long Independence Day== weekend. (That’s easy “Blame Trump” before July 4th, although Bidan Admin was handed the plans 9 months earlier! They did it on purpose because they don’t care about human life.)

Ukrainian commander complains about French tanks – AFP

 

The AMX-10RC is getting troops killed because itsarmor is too thinfor assaults against Russian forces, an officer has claimed

 

A Ukrainian military commander has reportedly raised concerns that light combat tanks supplied to the former Soviet republic by France aren’t suitable for attacks against Russian defensive lines because their thin armor can easily be pierced by artillery shells and other weapons.

 

Touted earlier this year by Ukrainian DefenseMinister Aleksey Reznikov as a “sniper rifle on fast wheels,” the French AMX-10 RC armored fighting vehicle has proven “impractical” during Kiev’s current counteroffensive against Russian forces, Agence-France Presse (AFP)reported on Sunday. One four-man crew has died because of the tank’s thin armor, which can easily be pierced by Russian weaponry, a Ukrainian battalion commander told the media outlet.

 

“Unfortunately, there was one case when the crew died in the vehicle,” said the 34-year-old Ukrainian major, whom AFP identified only by his call sign, Spartanets. “There was artillery shelling, and a shell exploded near the vehicle. The fragments pierced the armor, and the ammunition set detonated.”

 

Reznikov was filmed in April riding in an AMX-10 RC, which was among the Western weaponry rushed to Kiev this spring for a long-awaited counteroffensive that finally began in June. “These fast, modern machines with powerful guns will aid us in liberating our territory,” Reznikov said in a Twitter post thanking French President Emmanuel Macron and Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu. “This is what liberty, equality and brotherhood look like.”

 

However, Spartanets said the French tanks have proven to be ineffective in front-line assaults. “The guns are good, the observation devices are good, but unfortunately, there is thin armor, and it is impractical to use them in the front line,” he said.

 

Just sending out the vehicles so they get destroyed, I consider it is impractical and unnecessary because it’s primarily a risk for the crew.”

 

The Ukrainian commander added that the AMX-10 RCs also has been plagued by breakdowns in their gear boxes, possibly because of their use on dirt roads. Kiev’s troops received one month of training in France, which wasn’t adequate to master operating the vehicle, he said.

 

The 20-ton AMX-10 RC travels on wheels, rather than tracks. It was developed in the 1970s for armed reconnaissance and attacks on tanks. The French military is in the process of replacing its fleet of AMX-10 RCs with the more modern EBRC Jaguar.

 

Thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed in the counteroffensive, which has failed to breach Russia’s defensive lines.Dozens of Western-supplied armored vehicles have been destroyed, including German-made Leopard tanks and AMX-10 RCs, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The New York Times reported last week that 17 of the 113 Bradley fighting vehicles supplied to Kiev by the US have been damaged or destroyed.

 

(This is so great, the more complaining “that soldiers die in war”, and the French that sent them free tanks, caused the death of soldiers in war, is bizarre. This whole fiasco will end soon! The absolute arrogance and ingratitude has put certain people on a persona non grata list. Or the whole country cut off financially)

Kosovo PM planning new attack on Serbs – Vucic

Albin Kurti views himself as “the new Zelensky,” the Serbian president has said

 

Kosovo’s prime minister,Albin Kurti, is preparing to launch an attack against the province’s Serb minorityto coincide with a renewed counteroffensive by Kiev’s forces in Ukraine, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warned on Sunday.

 

“Kurti just wants to be the new Zelensky,”Vucic told reporters. “When the offensive of Ukraine starts, then you will see an additional offensive of Kurti in the Republic of Kosovo. I ask the people of the Republic of Kosovo to be careful, to just take shelter for a while.I am afraid that this terror will become even fiercer.”

 

Tensions have run high in Kosovo since April, when ethnic Albanian mayors were elected in four majority-Serb towns in the province’s north without Serb participation in the vote. Despite the mayors winning with a turnout of less than 4%, Kurti sent police and special forces to install them into office in May, backed by NATO forces. Riots broke out, with one brawl resulting in the injury of around 50 Serb demonstrators and 25 NATO personnel.

 

Despite rebukes and threats of sanctions from his US and EU backers, Kurti sent ethnic Albanian special forces into northern Kosovo to detain more than a dozen ethnic Serbs. Meanwhile, the Serbian authorities arrested several members of the Kosovo special forces on the Serbian side of the border with Kosovo.

 

Belgrade has since released the detained Albanians, yetPristina has not released the arrested Serbs. Vucic has demanded that Kurti release them, as well as almost 100 others in custody for the last two years.

 

“I am afraid of Albin Kurti’s completely irrational and anti-Serbian moves,” Vucic said on Sunday. “I will do my best to prevent this from happening. But not at the cost of a pogrom of the Serbian people.”

 

General Milan Mojsilovic, the head of the Serbian General Staff, called on NATO last month to prevent attacks on Kosovo’s Serb population by Kurti’s forces. Should the West fail to “protect the Serbs and their right to exist,” Mojsilovic warned that the Serbian military would “carry out its mission to the fullest.”

 

NATO took control of Kosovo in 1999, after waging a 78-day air war against Serbia on behalf of ethnic Albanian separatists. Though UN Security Council Resolution 1244 affirmed Serbia’s territorial integrity, the provisional government in Pristina declared independence in 2008. Belgrade’s refusal to recognize the secession has been supported by about half of the world’s countries, including Russia, China, and India.

Belarusian embassy vandalized in the Netherlands

The building was daubed in graffiti calling President Alexander Lukasheko a “terrorist”

 

Dutch police have arrested one suspect after the Belarusian embassy in The Hague was vandalized. The building’s windows were smashed and its facade sprayed with graffiti.

 

A 31-year-old man was arrested outside the embassy on Saturday night, the Omroep West news network reported on Sunday. It is unclear whether anyone else was involved in the vandalism.

 

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident to Sputnik Belarus.

 

Several windows were smashed and slogans were sprayed onto the building with black and red paint.One read “Luka – Terrorist,”referring to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, while another read “Long live Belarus.”

 

The incident was condemned by liberal politician Sjoerd Sjoerdsma. “No matter how rightly angry you are at the regime of Belarus, Russia or other countries, do not attack their embassies or residences,” he wrote on Twitter, adding that such attacks make “our diplomats in those countries less safe.”

 

Russian consulates and embassies have been targeted by vandalsin several Western countries since the start of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine last February. Belarus’ diplomatic outposts, however, have not been targeted since 2021, when a group of anti-Lukashenko protesters defaced the country’s embassy in London and injured a member of its staff.

 

Lukashenko is a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Minsk has been placed under many of the same Western sanctions as Moscow since Lukashenko allowed Russian forces to launch an offensive on Kiev from Belarusian territory last year.

 

The Belarusian leader made international headlines in May when he agreed to host Russian nuclear missiles in Belarus, and again last week when he brokered a deal that ended Wagner Group leader Evgeny Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny and march on Moscow.

Viktor Bout to enter politics

The businessman who spent some 12 years in US prison will run for a local legislature in Russia

Russian businessman Viktor Bout has been nominated as a candidate for the local legislature in the western Russian city of Ulyanovsk. He will run representing Russia’s right-wing Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR).

 

Bout was nominated by secret ballot during a regional party gathering on Sunday. His candidacy was announced after the vote by Dmitry Grachev, leader of the LDPR faction in the Ulyanovsk legislature.

 

The businessman spent more than 14 years behind bars, including 12 years in US prisons. Bout was taken into custody in 2008 during a sting operation in Thailand and was ultimately convicted by a US court on drug trafficking charges and sentenced to 25 years.

 

Bout has always maintained his innocence, insisting he had been merely caught up in geopolitics. He has told RT previously that he believes the case was an “experiment” by the US targeting him and his home country alike with sanctions.

 

Ultimately, the businessman ended up being swapped for US women’s basketball star Brittney Griner. The two-time Olympic gold medalist was arrested in Russia when banned cannabis vape oil cartridges were found in her luggage at a Moscow airport. The illicit substance got Griner nine years behind bars in August 2022, before a landmark prisoner exchange between Moscow and Washington in December.

Viktor Bout joins right-wing Russian political party

The recently-freed businessman has become a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR)

Russian businessman Viktor Bout has officially become a member of the right-wing Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), days after he was exchanged in a prisoner swap for US basketball player Brittney Griner. He was personally handed his membership card by the party’s leader during the LDPR’s 33rd anniversary on Monday.

 

“I am sure that Viktor Bout, a strong-willed and courageous person, will take a worthy place in [the party]. Welcome to our ranks,” said LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky. He previously stated the businessman would also be invited to a meeting of the Duma (lower house of parliament) Committee on International Affairs and the LDPR faction.

 

The far-right LDPR is currently the fourth-largest party in the Russian Duma. It was founded by the late firebrand politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who passed away earlier this year. The party focuses on conservatism and patriotism and opposes modern neoliberal capitalism as well as Soviet-style communism.

 

Bout has told journalists that his decision to join the party was driven by the fact that he sympathizes with the LDPR and believes it to be a powerful party that is close to the people. He has stated, however, that he does not intend to run in any elections for the time being.

 

Last week, Moscow and Washington conducted a high-level prisoner swap, exchanging Bout for jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner. The athlete had previously been sentenced to a penal colony in Russia on drug smuggling charges, while Bout had spent over 14 years behind bars, including 12 years in US prisons, as part of a 25-year sentence for arms-trafficking. The businessman has consistently denied the allegations against him. After arriving in Russia, he told RT that he had become caught up in the gears of geopolitics.

 

Both Griner and Bout were pardoned by their respective nations before the swap, which means they won't need to continue serving their terms at home.

RFK Jr. Throws Moms for Liberty Under the Woke School Bus, Touts Pro-LGBTQ Stance

Catherine Salgado6:45 PM on July 01, 2023

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has garnered support from both leftists and conservatives. But conservatives who admire RFK Jr. for speaking hard truths should also be aware of how he back-stabbed a parental rights group on TV in order to pander to an intolerant homosexual activist who wants LGBTQ propaganda in schools.

The group Kennedy rejected was Moms for Liberty, which just held a summit featuring 2024 Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis. But not Kennedy.

Moms for Liberty’s mission statement reads, “Moms for Liberty is dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government.” All they want to do is prevent the government-enforced indoctrination and sexualization of children in schools and make sure parents are made aware of such tremendously important things as whether their children are masquerading as the opposite sex at school. The group does not attack LGBTQ people — indeed, LGBTQ activists are the onesharassing Moms for Liberty.

At a town hall on Wednesday, News Nation allowed audience members to ask Kennedy questions. James Williams, the CEO of a social media consulting firm, asked the candidate why he agreed to and then drew back from an invitation to speak at a Moms for Liberty conference. While Moms for Liberty is specifically geared toward preventing parents from being pressured into letting their kids be indoctrinated, Williams claimed Moms for Liberty tries to tell people how to raise their children.

Williams then brought up the immensely corrupt and sexually licentious Sen. Ted Kennedy, RFK’s uncle (Chappaquiddick, anyone?) and Williams’s former boss. He said there was “no bigger champion or stalwart for LGBTQ equality” than “the late Ted Kennedy.” Practically crying, Williams demanded to know why he should vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when the latter originally agreed to speak at a conference with a group “that wants to ban my marriage and tell…other parents how to treat their children” (again, a misunderstanding of Moms for Liberty’s goals).

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rushed to reassure the intolerant activist that he “didn’t speak at that group.” RFK began, ”When somebody on my staff accepted that invitation, and I was unaware of it —”

Williams, too worked up to let Kennedy actually finish his sentence, jumped in and self-righteously announced that, as a former congressional staffer, he thinks blaming staff is “the wrong answer.”

Instead of respectfully but firmly telling Williams not to lecture and talk over him, RFK hastened to appease the overwrought leftist. Since he’s at the start of his campaign, he has no “long-term staff,” Kennedy explained. “When I found out that that was [Moms for Liberty’s] position,” Kennedy went on, not explaining what that position was and presumably referring back to James’s misrepresentation of the group, “I declined to go.”

So is RFK saying he doesn’t support parental rights? That he supports the sexualization of children in schools? That would seem to be what he affirmed here. That’s deeply concerning.

”There will be nobody in the Oval Office who is more supportive of LGBTQ rights than I am,” Kennedy went on, apparently forgetting (as his family has so often forgotten before) that he is a Catholic and therefore cannot, religiously speaking, support homosexual marriage. “I was with Teddie campaigning…in 1980. We — it was the first political, presidential campaign that ever courted the gay vote…it’s very important to me, it’s a civil right…my family has stood for, has fought for [these rights], and I will do the same”

Kennedy then delivered what amounted to an apology. “I made a mistake by accepting that invitation, and when I found out those positions,” (said again without any clarification), “I didn’t show up.” But apparently, that sickening statement wasn’t good enough for Williams, who demanded Kennedy “denounce” what Moms for Liberty “stand[s] for.” Kennedy at least refused to do that, but he added, “I don’t agree with anybody who says that we shouldn’t respect gay rights, or anybody else’s rights.” Except parental rights, evidently.

“Everybody should respect [gay rights], and, you know, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that they’re — those are protected, and I always have,” . Our children are too important for any compromise with LGBTQ crazies.

Weekend Parting Shot: A Leftwing Family Shows Its True Colors

BY LINCOLN BROWN 5:21 PM ON JUNE 30, 2023

 

Narcissism is the soul of wit — and progressivism

 

One of the more ridiculous side effects of this moment in history is the trend of so many friends and family members refusing to acknowledge one another over politics. By most people’s reckoning, this issue is far more prevalent on the Left than on the Right. And as it is still more or less a free country, people are free to do whatever petty, destructive, bone-headed things they wish.

 

On the other hand, if you are going to banish someone from the family because they lean conservative, you have to accept all of the consequences. Consider this recent letter to advice columnist Amy Dickinson, which recently appeared in The Chicago Tribune:

 

Dear Amy: Four months before my daughter’s wedding, she told me that her uncle (my brother, “Dave”) would make her feel unsafe if he was a guest. She asked me not to invite him.

 

My daughter is very politically progressive, as are many of her friends, and although she and Dave have always had a good relationship (I thought), he is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor.

 

Dave has always been very nice, so my daughter’s request surprised me.

 

I wrote Dave a very nice note, telling him that we would not be comfortable with him at the wedding and that he would not be invited.

 

Dave did not respond and did not attend.

 

Afterward, I sent him a card and pictures from the wedding, all in an effort to make him feel like he was not being totally left out.

 

I have not heard from Dave since then. When my siblings found out what I had done they were angry with me.

 

That is just one problem.

 

Another problem is that Dave has not sent my daughter and son-in-law a wedding gift.

 

In the past, Dave has given family members wedding checks in excess of $1,000.

 

She says she was counting on receiving the same type of gift.

 

My husband says I should drop it – but I can’t. Dave’s behavior is upsetting and embarrassing to me.

 

How can I get my brother to recognize and change his petty behavior?

 

Please don’t tell me that I’m the one who started this by not inviting my brother to the wedding. After all, he’s a grown man, while my daughter is young and just starting out.

 

— Angry in Philadelphia

 

You can read Amy’s response here.

 

I hope to God that this is some sort of troll or joke. If it is not, you should print off this missive and show it to every progressive you meet when they ask why you are a conservative or anything that is not left-wing. If legit, this letter is the essence of progressivism. This is every column, commentary, article, news story and bar discussion about the Left rolled up in a nice, concise package. Thank you, Angry in Philadelphia, for helping every conservative make his or her point in a way they never could otherwise.

 

Your honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution rests.

 

(What do you want to bet her real name is Karen? And what is the over/under for the number of signs and flags in her front yard?)

Pornhub Closes up Shop in Virginia

BY LINCOLN BROWN 2:29 PM ON JUNE 30, 2023

As I mentioned yesterday, winning back the nation is not going to happen in the space of a day, week, or even a year. It is going to have to be done almost on a person-by-person basis, or in this case, state-by-state.

 

Pornhub has announced that it will no longer offer its “services” to residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Following in the footsteps of Louisiana, Utah, Mississippi, and Arkansas, Virginiapassed a law mandating age verification for people who want to access adult websites. The law goes into effect tomorrow, July 1, 2023. This is not good news for companies like Pornhub. TV station WRICin Virginia had the statement from Pornhub’s parent company, MindGeek:

 

The safety of our users is one of our biggest concerns. We believe that the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification. Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Virginia. [sic]

 

According to the station, the company also had a message that appeared when Virginia users tried to access the site.

 

Dear user,

 

As you may know, your elected officials in Virginia are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website. While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.

 

In addition, mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply. As we’ve seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content.

 

Trust and safety? Tell that to the women highlighted by The Washington Post andother outlets who sued the company over allegations that Pornhub was “a ‘classic criminal enterprise’ that profits from content showing rape, child pornography, sex trafficking, and other nonconsensual activity.” Tell that to anyone who had to endure having their most intimate moments or barbaric abuse at the hands of another displayed across a massive platform. Tell that to anyone who has lost a loved one to porn through trafficking, deception, willing participation, or through using it.

 

Recently I wrote about a lawsuit by the Free Speech Coalition against the State of Utah over a similar law in the Beehive State.The Free Speech Coalition also represents Pornhub; however, the group has not decided if it will file a suit in Virginia. WRIC reports that back in March, Alison Boden, who is the coalition’s executive director, sent a letter to Gov. Glenn Youngkin urging him to veto the original bill. The letter said in part, “Adult content — even material harmful to minors — is First Amendment-protected speech and the Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that restrictions on its production and consumption face the highest legal bar: strict scrutiny.”

 

MindGeek doesn’t care about free speech. Porn is big money, and MindGeek and its associates want as much of that money as they can get, no matter what the human damage may be.

Study: 10K More Babies Born After Texas Pro-Life Law

CATHERINE SALGADO JUNE 30, 2023

 

A new study estimated that almost 10,000 more babies were born after the Texas Heartbeat Law went into effect, indicating a causal relationship. Pro-life legislation saves lives!

A recent estimate said that up to 200,000 babies have been saved from abortion since the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court ruling overturned Roe v. Wade and Casey. But it’s not just federal government rulings that have saved lives. Thousands of unborn babies are also being saved through pro-life state laws restricting or banning abortions.

 

The new Johns Hopkins study published on the American Medical Association’s JAMA Network found an increase of thousands of babies born in Texas following the Texas Heartbeat Bill becoming law in 2021. While that is not a complete establishment of a causal relationship, the study definitely showed a link. Disturbingly, however, the researchers were upset at the findings, arguing that the increase in the number of babies not aborted was indicative of a problem. From the study summary:

 

Texas’ Senate Bill 8 (SB8) became law on September 1, 2021, banning abortions as early as 5 weeks after the start of one’s last menstrual period. In the first month after SB8 went into effect, the total number of facility-based abortions provided to pregnant Texas residents in Texas or 1 of the 6 adjacent states decreased by 38% (2171 fewer abortions)…This study evaluated changes in the number of births in Texas associated with Texas’ SB8 policy.

 

LifeNews reported on the full study, which is not directly accessible to the public. The outlet quoted one study author, Alison Gemmill, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Bloomberg School’s Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, as saying, “Although our study doesn’t detail why these extra births occurred, our findings strongly suggest that a considerable number of pregnant individuals in Texas were unable to overcome barriers to abortion access.” It’s amazing how doctors can be sorry that more precious, irreplaceable humans were born.

 

As the first state allowed to enforce a “pre-viability abortion ban” since Roe in 1973, Texas was banning “elective abortions” on babies with detectable heartbeats a full ten months before the historic Dobbs decision, LifeNews explained.

 

During that time period, the study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests at least 9,799 unborn babies were saved from abortion and later were born in 2022…the research suggests the Texas law saved about 1,225 babies from abortion every month. Six more months have passed since December, meaning approximately 7,350 more babies likely also have been spared from violent abortion deaths.

 

The Johns Hopkins researchers used all 50 United States’ “monthly live birth data” during their research. LifeNews quotes from Johns Hopkins, “The researchers calculated that there would have been 287,289 live births in Texas from April to December 2022 had the abortion ban not gone into effect in September 2021. The number of observed births during this period was 297,088, a difference of 9,799.”

 

Unfortunately, the researchers saw this pro-life victory as a problem. More “birthing people” are carrying “unwanted” pregnancies to term, one woke researcher mourned.

 

Imagine if all the resources poured into advertising and performing abortions were used instead to help women facing unplanned pregnancies. Why do leftists always demand more baby murder as a solution instead of actually trying to help the mothers and babies?

 

What if more women knew that there’s actually a waiting list of two million couples wanting to adopt babies in America (that includes Down syndrome babies)? What if more aid were given to the pro-life crisis pregnancy centers that already outnumber abortion clinics by an estimated 3 to 1 across America? How many women are informed that having an abortion puts women at risk of mental health issues, suicide, and other serious issues, and that abortion is never necessary to save a mother’s life?

 

Abortion is not a solution — it’s murder. And it is wonderful that Texas and other pro-life states are saving thousands of babies from abortion.

Michigan Could Put You in Prison for ‘Misgendering’

Matt Margolis

 

(Hey freaks here’s your goddess)

 

In Canada “misgendering” an individual is considered a hate crime ever since the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code were amended in 2017 to include “gender identity” and “gender expression” as protected classes. In 2019, a father in British Columbia was found guilty of “family violence” for not referring to his daughter by her preferred pronouns.

 

We can’t write this off as Canadian craziness anymore. A recently passed bill in Michigan, HB 4474, seeks to make it a felony to “intimidate” someone by using the “wrong pronouns,” also known as “misgendering.”

 

According to the bill, “‘Intimidate’ means a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.”

 

The bill does not define harassment but defines gender identity or expression as “having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”

 

In other words, the state literally wants to force citizens to “affirm” the gender identity of transgender people. If the bill becomes law and you don’t affirm the gender identity of transgender or non-binary people, you risk a fine of $10,000 or as much as five years in prison.

 

Those accused of misgendering people could potentially get their sentence reduced if they submit to woke re-education. The bill states that a sentence can be reduced by no more than 20% if the defendant agrees to community service “intended to enhance the offender’s understanding of the impact of the offense upon the victim and wider community.”

 

In a vote of 59-50, the bill was successfully passed by the Democrat-controlled state House and now moves to the Democrat-controlled State Senate, where it will likely pass, and inevitably Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will sign it.

 

So Michigan could throw you in prison if you refuse to use someone’s “preferred pronouns.” If you’re like me, you couldn’t care less what someone’s preferred pronouns are, so if you encounter a person who is a biological male, you’ll refer to him as such. If she’s a biological female, you’ll do the same.

 

While I’m sure that, if the law passes, it will immediately face challenges in the courts, the idea that such a bill could pass in a state house is disconcerting. Whenever it has the power to do so, the radical left seeks to not only ban certain forms of speech but also to compel speech. Frankly, this isn’t anything new.

 

The Supreme Court just decided on Friday that Colorado’s anti-discrimination law effectively compelled speech by forcing a graphic designer to create wedding websites for same-sex marriages against her religious beliefs. Make no mistake about it: the radical left will keep trying things like this, and if we don’t fight like hell to preserve a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, free speech will be a relic of the past.
