Pudgy Transgender Activist Jessica Yaniv Loses ‘Brazilian Wax’ Lawsuit in Canada
[BREITBART] A Canadian official ruled against Jessica Yaniv, the transgender Canadian plaintiff who had accused three women of unfair "discrimination" when they declined to give his testicles a "Brazilian wax" treatment.

But the official minimized the damage to Canada’s pro-transgender laws by suggesting that women may need to provide the sexually intimate service to male bodies if they have been trained for the task.

"Human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax. ... There are differences between waxing the genitals of a person with a vulva and a person with a penis and scrotum," said the deciding official in the quasi-judicial British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

The 61-page decision implies that women will have to provide the intimate service to men if the Canadian licensing boards require cosmeticians to learn how to do the service.

Dick's CEO Floats Prez Bid
Do the millions Dick's stockholders lost count as a campaign contribution?
[Politico] Ed Stack, the CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods and a longtime Republican donor, is testing the waters for a possible third-party presidential bid that could scramble the dynamics of the 2020 general election.

#5  Trump's was a third party run that took over the GOP instead of running against them.

I suspect Trump's base is made up of ex-Perot voters and tea-party voters, and Evangelicals that were jerked around and taken for granted by the Old Boys Club/Neo-con coalition that controlled the party after Reagan.

Hawley to Introduce Bill to Move Federal Agencies out of Washington D.C.
[NationalReview] Days after squaring off online against “elitist” critics of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s relocation of agency jobs, Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) will introduce legislation on Wednesday that would move the majority of the federal bureaucracy out of Washington D.C. to economically depressed areas, according to a summary of the bill provided to National Review.

The “Helping Infrastructure Restore the Economy (HIRE) Act,” which is cosponsored by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.), would move 90 percent of the positions within ten executive agencies to economically distressed regions that have a stake in the work of those respective agencies.
Not that a matching bill will be passed in the Democrat-controlled House, but it’s definitely useful as a talking point.

Mass. Dem’s Bill Would Make It Illegal To Call Someone ‘Bitch’
[FREEBEACON] A Massachusetts Democrat is pushing a bill that would make it a crime to maliciously call someone a "bitch" within the commonwealth.
"Poopyhead" is still okay.
Foul-mouthed individuals who are found guilty under a bill introduced by Democratic representative Daniel J. Hunt would face a $150 maximum fine for the first offense, while repeat offenders would face up to six months' imprisonment, a $200 fine, or both. If enacted, "bitch" would be the only word in the English language to receive such special consideration in Massachusetts.
So "Dog Squat" is still good to go. "Cow," "sow," "jenny," "pussy," "hen," "vixen," "nanny," "pullet," and "doe" are still in committee. "Ewe" has problems, but they're working on them.
Hunt introduced "An Act regarding the use of offensive words" in May. The proposed law would specify that the use of the word "bitch" satisfied the "offensive and disorderly acts or language" requirement in existing disorderly conduct law.
Doesn't matter whether you holler it, squeal it, or whisper, it's still disorderly. If you think it, it depends on your expression.
"A person who uses the word ’bitch' directed at another person to accost, annoy, degrade or demean the other person shall be considered to be a disorderly person," the bill says. "A violation of this subsection may be reported by the person to whom the offensive language was directed at or by any witness to such incident."
What if the person's a guy? Zat still count? How about if she identifies as a guy?
Hunt told the Boston Herald that he filed the bill after being asked to do so by a constituent.
Falls under the heading of "never tell a constituent he's stoopid." It ain't a legislator's place to explain that something's abhorrent to the nation at large.
"Any time a constituent approaches me with something that is of concern to them, I follow through with it," he said. "In this instance, someone asked me to file a bill that they deemed was important and I thought it was a good exercise to let that bill go through the process."
Instead of telling the bitch to shut up?
While critics charge that the bill likely violates the First Amendment, Hunt told the Herald that even if it does, his bill could "illuminate the exhaustive legislative process for people that might not normally be engaged."
So it's just a demonstration instead of an assault on our increasingly beleaguered liberties? Oh, well. That's different.
The Massachusetts Republican Party mocked their counterparts for the bill. "Beacon Hill Democrats like [Dan Hunt] are fearlessly taking on the biggest problems facing the commonwealth," the state GOP said on Twitter, asking followers to attend the Judiciary Committee hearing if they "believe free speech matters."
Good for you, Taxachussets Publicans. Slap the silly bitches.

Posted by: DarthVader || 10/24/2019 9:28 Comments || Top||

#11  First, Dron66046 is right and the first cases will be the black community and the law will either be inequally enforced or discarded.

Second, there is no way this can survive the eventual trip to the Supreme Court which will likely open Massachusetts up to lots of lawsuits.

#12  "Any time a constituent approaches me with something that is of concern to them, I follow through with it," he said. "In this instance, someone asked me to file a bill that they deemed was important and I thought it was a good exercise to let that bill go through the process."

The politician in question never intended the bill to be passed, he just wanted to shut up an insistent constituent.

Joaquin Castro: GOP SCIF Walk-in ‘Absolutely' Was a Risk to National Security
[Breibart] On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s "The Situation Room," Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) discussed House Republicans forcing their way into the secured room where the House Intelligence Committee was conducting a deposition for their impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Castro said, "We were getting ready for the deposition to start and we had had a Democratic caucus meeting just before that of the Intelligence members. We came into the room. Everybody was seated, and just as the witness sat down you had ‐ of course, you had Democratic members already seated, Republicans that were seated. There are about 25 or 30 of the Republican members. It looked to me like it was all the guys. There may have been a few women but I didn’t see them. There are three entrances in that room and they all came kind of storming in. Most of them were not members of the committees, I think, of jurisdiction. They came storming in the room and started disrupting the proceeding. Shortly after that, I didn’t see when the witness left but she left at some point. I think her lawyers escorted her out of the room, but it was a very tense several minutes while everybody was in that room. Quite honestly, it looked like a mob scene. It looked like kind of a mob party coming into that room."

Blitzer asked, "Was it a risk to national security?"

National Security risk? No Wolf, but you certainly have been for several decades.

The fact no classified info was presented before the Republicans entered the area means this is a slight slap on the wrist offense from a security view. Nothing more.

Republicans Storm Closed-Room No-Rules Lynching, Demanding Due Process In Fake Impeachment
[AceOfSpades] Dozens of Republicans, including some members of leadership, barged into the secure hearing room in the Capitol basement where Laura Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, was set to provide private testimony. GOP lawmakers have argued that other lawmakers, not just members of the three committees leading the probe, should be able to attend the closed-door hearings with witnesses.

Several lawmakers said that, in response to the Republican protest, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) had left the room with Cooper, postponing the interview indefinitely.

Rep. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said Schiff said "nothing" when the members sat down before he left with Cooper.

"He doesn't have the guts to come talk to us," Marshall said. "He left, he just got up and left. He doesn't have the guts to tell us why we can't come in the room, why he doesn't want this to be transparent. It's the biggest facade, biggest farce of my life."
