he looks like an alien
Rosendale is right, but there is no time for him to try to support Johnson, I don't care how much he is amiable, he doesn't know how to fight.
notableJack Smith is going down just like Fani, Bragg, James, etc. Being rebuked in DC Appellate court means to me, the SC Justices got involved and warned the DC court, don't you dare let Smith get away of disobeying our order. If Smith ever gets to the SC, they will surely strip him of his law license
Stefanik, House leadership member, among 10 chamber Republicans voting against continuing resolution
Others who voted against the CR included House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green.
Updated: January 19, 2024 9:48am
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-highest ranking member of GOP House leadership, was among 10 chamber Republicans who opposed a measure put forth Thursday by House Speaker Mike Johnson, and passed with bipartisan votes, to keep the federal government fully operational with a stop-gap spending bill.
Among House Republicans also opposing the bill were committee Chairmen Reps.Jim Jordan, Judiciary; Mark Green, Homeland Security; and Jodey Arrington, Budget, according to Punchbowl News.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus, one of the chamber's most conservative groups, attempted to get Johnson to amend the bill by adding H.R. 2, House Republicans' hardline immigration reform bill, Punchbowl also reports.
The passage of the stop-gap measure, known as a continuing resolution, averted a partial government shutdown and kept the government fully operational through early March at current federal funding levels.
Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, vowed upon becoming speaker just months ago not to pass temporary spending bills, in part because it funds the government with spending that conservatives say needs to be cut.
On Thursday, 207 Democrats and 107 Republicans voted in favor of passing the so-called CR. The legislation passed 314-108.There were 18 Republicans who voted against the bill in the Senate. It ultimately passed 77-18.

Ich bin ein censor? State Department-German collaboration promotes misinformation cops in schools
U.S. Embassy in Berlin funded similar activities as those that got State Department's Global Engagement Center in trouble with Republican lawmakers. One curriculum punished kids for considering COVID lab-leak theory.
Published: January 18, 2024 11:00pm1/2Sorry the all the red type, but this is outrageous and much further along than anyone thought.take your children out of public and private schools Worldwide
The State Department loves video games – at least those thatappear to train children to parrot the agency's preferred narratives. TheU.S. Embassy in Berlin fundedsimilar activities as the agency'sGlobal Engagement Center (GEC), each using "inoculation theory"to metaphorically vaccinate the public against disinformation and promote private groups that police so-called "wrong-think."
That's according to a sprawling investigation by the conservative Media Research Center, which posted select portions of materials it obtained through Freedom of Information Act and state public records requests, as well as from overlooked public sources.Republican lawmakers are investigating the department for GEC's funding of the U.K.-based Global Disinformation Index, which in 2022 released a report on what it considered the10 riskiest online news outletsfor disinformation. All of those on the list were conservative or libertarian leaning, which critics say was an attempt to blacklist them and cut off advertising dollars.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the State Department for allegedly interfering with Texas law through its efforts with GDI and the U.S.-based fact-checking group NewsGuard. Secretary Antony Blinken also told staff abroad to promote the GEC-funded game "Cat Park," which teaches children to treat populism as disinformation, in local schools.
The embassy's public affairs section, meanwhile, sponsored seminars for European Union-funded organizations whosecurricula promote anti-misinformation video games and instruct children to promote "social justice." They include lessons by Konstantin von Notz, a German Green Party politician who oversees the nation's intelligence agencies, helped lead the youth-focused "No Hate Speech Movement" and pushed through a public-funding ban on a popular opposition party, MRC said.
The purported misinformation includes the legitimacy of the COVID-19 lab-leak theory, now favored by the FBI and Department of Energy as more plausible than the wet-market theory. The seminars, coordinated with theUniversity of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab, promoted products for NewsGuard and Ad Fontes Media, both of which rate the purported reliability of news media but like GDI overwhelmingly ding right-leaning sources.
"The State Department provided a perfect demonstration of the Rhode Island Lab’s ability and the resources it could bring to the table," MRC said in its report. The agency didn't respond to Just the News queries. The "Medialogues on Propaganda" effort is documented in the URI lab's final report, which says more than 700 educators participated in seminars from June 2021 to April 2022. It was designed to help teach media literacy in response to "new forms of propaganda and disinformation [that] are compromising the quality of people’s democratic decision making."
It gives case studies of teachers who incorporated the training into their own school districts,including Florida's Palm Beach County, wherestudents were directed to use the Ad Fontes "Media Bias Chart" in a "game-based activityutilizing Minecraft to build media literacy, social emotional learning, and English proficiency skills for English Language Learners."
"Multiple educators who gave testimonials on the Ad Fontes website appear to have not divulged their use of the censorship tool to their employers," MRC said. Other participants included the University of Wurzburg's Media Education and Educational Technology Lab, which virtually hosted the seminars, and Media Literacy Now, a U.S. nonprofit that advocates "systemic change in K-12 education," promotes and tracks state-level media-literacy legislation and served as the "fiscal agent for this project."
MLN and Ad Fontes have a "strategic affiliation" that includes sharing personnel and MLN receiving 10% of Ad Fontes "Media News Nerd and News Nurturer Memberships." MLN then "pressure[s] school districts into purchasing Ad Fontes products," but their connections were left out of each group's presentations during the seminars, MRC said….

Never defined in the final report, the term "media literacy" is "nebulous and amorphous, providing Media Literacy Now and the Rhode Island Lab cover when they need to obfuscate their agenda," MRC's investigation said. It obtained a fundraising pitch from MLN that called media literacy "the only antidote to misinformation," invoking "widely misrepresented" information about COVID, "racial justice, and even a presidential election."
A poster reading "ACAB," meaning "All Cops Are Bastards," is visible in an image from a racial justice protestthat MLN used as the header for its summer 2020 newsletter. The group is aware of the potential optics of its message, as illustrated by a 2022 exchange between MLN President Erin McNeill and the URI lab's founder Renee Hobbs, also a member of MLN's advisory council.
McNeill asked Hobbs to "steer away from" language in a "position statement" Hobbs helped draft for the National Council of Teachers of English that called on educators to"identify and disrupt the inequalities of contemporary life, including structural racism, sexism, consumerism, and economic injustice," so thatstudents become "empowered change agents."
It stirs up opposition that is not necessary, because it becomesevident they [NCTE] have an agenda beyond literacy," McNeill wrote, pointing to negative attention to the statement in The Washington Post. Yet McNeill herself characterized a Texas media-literacy law as "censorship of teachers" because it didn't force students to take 1619 Project lessons.
Another seminar featured Berlin-based Tactical Tech, which receives EU funding and partners with the Goethe Institute, the German government's cultural institute;European Schoolnet, composed of dozens of education ministries; and six nonprofits funded by progressive megadonor George Soros's Open Society Foundations.
The URI lab's final report describes the presentation by Tactical Tech's Daisy Kidd. She touted its Data Detox Kit, which promotes NewsGuard's plug-in and EU's brochure that describes the "anti-vaccination movement and climate change denialism" as "[p]seudoscience and conspiracy theories [that] certainly enjoy each others [sic] company."
Kiddpromoted another Tactical Tech curriculum called The Glass Room, which describes the "frictionless design" of social media platforms as a boon to misinformation andfaulted Telegram especially for "unlimited sharing" and no content moderation. One ofits interactive games penalized students for giving credence to the lab-leak theory– that COVID leaked from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Yet another EU-funded group, MEET Tolerance, got a seminar to tout its curriculum "that increases aware use of media among economically and sociallydisadvantaged youth (aged 13-19), including migrants and refugees."
A lesson targeting older students says that "usually" those denying they are racist "share clearly racist opinions" and recommends a book with an unambiguous title:"The New Racism: Conservatives and the Ideology of the Tribe."A seminar participant who became "affiliated faculty" with the URI lab created a "Justice in Your Backyard" program in her northern Washington school district that MRC called "eerily similar to MEET Tolerence’s [sic] 'media producers' scheme."
It teaches students to "find and use credible sources" to "create a message that will inspire a call to action when it comes to topics of social justice!"Students created projects soliciting donations for gun-control and youth transgender advocacy groups, criticizing measures that conservatives promote as election integrity, and calling on peers to demand police-free schools.
