NYC scraps requirement that later-term aborted fetuses be treated as 'human remains'
[NYPOST] The New York City Department of Health has scrapped a requirement that fetuses aborted at or after 24 weeks be considered “human remains” and sent to funeral homes for burial or cremation.
Consistent with their goal of becoming the abortion capitol of the eastern U.S. It’s a potential income stream for a region whose historical income streams are being taxed and regulated out of existence.
The 24-week mark is generally considered the point of potential viability to survive early birth and until the rule change, it was mandatory to send such late-term aborted fetuses to funeral homes for burial or cremation.

Medical facilities will now instead be allowed to dispose of the “conceptus” — the term used by the health department — on premises, as is the case for earlier term aborted fetuses, relieving the patient or family of the responsibility and cost.

Trump calls out Biden for another debate
[FoxNews - liveblog] In a Truth Social post, Trump requested a "no holds barred" and "all on" discussion with Biden about the future of the country.

"Let Joe explain why he wants Open Borders, with millions of people, and many violent criminals from parts unknown, pouring into our once great Nation, or why he wants Men Playing in Women’s Sports, or demand ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES within five years, or why he allowed INFLATION TO RUN RAMPANT, destroying the people of our Country, and so much more," he wrote.

ABC News is scheduled to host the second debate between Biden and Trump on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. The network has not yet announced the moderators for that debate.

Biden-Obama is ‘Plan C' ticket
[Washington Examiner] With President Joe Biden today dismissing critics of his poor debate performance with former President Donald Trump, a "Plan C" is being urged to help his wounded reelection effort across the finish line first on Election Day.

Advocates of "Plan C" said the solution to Trump’s surging campaign and Electoral College advantage is a simple one: replace Vice President Kamala Harris with former President Barack Obama.

"A Biden-Obama ticket would have a much better chance of beating Trump," said legal scholar John Banzhaf, a professor at George Washington University Law School.
He is more completely described by Wikipedia as a legal activist, a perfect example of the dangers of letting engineers (BSEE from MIT) apply their skills to law. His causes have been many and varied, over the years, including objections to President Trump that informed the 2021 prosecution in Fulton County, Georgia.
"Barack Obama is probably one of the few persons whom a majority of Americans would want and trust as president, so Plan C might be the least objectionable of a number of very unpopular and dubious options now open to Biden and the Democratic Party," he said on Thursday.

#2  ...I'm gonna say no on this one. I still say that any attempt to remove Harris as a candidate will result in a civil war within the Democratic Party that will end any chance of a victory this year.

And consider this - even if Obama was to go along with something like this, he's no idiot: right now , there's a damned good chance that no matter what he does, Donald Trump will beat him. He's not going to take that chance.

#11  There are separate issues with Obama replacing Harris in office or in the ticket.

Barack would be ineligible for the ticket in either slot based on the plain text of the Amendment. The VP always has to be eligible for the presidency. You can’t put Schwarzenegger in the VP slot in hopes of upgrading him later - not that that would be a good idea to begin with.

To install Obama in as VP, he would have to face hearings and get approval in the House and Senate. The American people aren’t going to accept giving the shadow operation legitimacy. Obama has done a lousy job as shadow president. They will oust any RINOs who went along with this fantasy. It’s fantasy, because Barak isn’t going to sit for hearings.

Top Democratic donors creating political fund for possible Biden replacement
[Washington Examiner] A group of top Democratic donors and strategists is pooling resources into a new political action committee to help fund an alternative candidate to President Joe Biden should he withdraw from the presidential race, according to a report from the New York Times.

The fund, coined the Next Generation PAC, is aiming to raise as much as $100 million to help support a candidate who replaces Biden at the top of the ticket, according to the outlet. If Biden doesn’t drop out of the race, the money would then be used to fund down-ballot candidates.

The Next Generation PAC is being spearheaded by Mike Novogratz,
…yet another hopeful tech billionaire with more money than sense…
a cryptocurrency investor who previously backed Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) in the Democratic primary, the outlet reported. The group has not yet filed federal paperwork, but PAC officials have reportedly told donors it hopes to raise between $50 million and $100 million.

People connected to the Biden campaign have heard of the possible stealth project and have attempted to convince those involved not to join, according to the outlet.

If the PAC manages to raise large sums, it could benefit Vice President Kamala Harris if she replaces Biden as the nominee, especially as some major donors have remained skeptical about her at the top of the ticket.

Biden appears confused, loses train of thought at White House July 4th events
[NYPOST] President Biden made several odd gaffes and misstatements throughout the official White House Fourth of July celebration, appearing confused at times and puzzlingly greeting the crowd with a hearty "Ho ho ho! Happy Independence Day!"

The president, 81, and first lady Jill Biden were joined on stage by Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
and second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Harris introduced the "extraordinary" President Biden who then began a short statement of well-wishing for the holiday.

Biden looked more sprightly than during his much-maligned June 27 debate performance. But his statements weren’t much more coherent despite being louder in volume.

"We gotta do what our founders did: show the world we’re a nation of dignity, honor, and just devotion to one another," he said before telling the audience to enjoy the fireworks.

As Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the USA" blared, the group made their way off the stage.

Biden, bringing up the rear, suddenly paused his gait mid-step, seemingly unsure to whom he should hand the microphone.

He then took a few slow steps across the stage, now by himself, before handing off the mic to a stagehand.

He then slowly descended a short flight of stairs before mingling with the crowd.

#1  There has been a lot of speculation about who the replacement VP will be when Joe is canned. I recommend that no one be approved by the House until the Dems pony up an outrageous wish list in the House confirmation hearing.
I want everything from the Epstein clients to the Hur tapes. Stuff that they have no intention of giving us. Let the hearings go on and vote against every single person proposed because they lied about Joe’s health. They cheated to get him elected. Now that their tire is flat, make them ride the donut. They had it easy with Joe doing everything they wanted. Kamala thinks she’s brilliant. I don’t want to imply that she is a moron. I intend to state that she is a moron directly.
Not only is she a moron, but she will be a great detriment to the Dems as president. Make her perform with no backup so that they can’t remove her and have to run her again in 2028.

Democrats turn on Newsom, forcing withdrawal of his ballot proposition
[JustTheNews] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Governor Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
withdrew his competing ballot measure to reform the state’s reduced prosecution of drug dealing and theft just days after Democratic politicians rejected his supported amendments to their anti-crime bills.

Newsom’s measure would have required the majority of politicians’ support on July 3 to make it on the November ballot, and would be in competition with another prosecution reform measure that earned nearly one million signatures.

The official website and Twitter account of the Office of the Governor of California took down mention and links to a July 1 blurb from Newsom, Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire, D-North Coast, and Speaker of the Assembly Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, announcing their drug and theft initiative, which initially had a vote set for Wednesday, July 3. Through a special rules change, the measure would have required only a majority, not the usual two-thirds, of politicians’ votes to make it on the ballot. But with the governor’s withdrawal and hiding of the announcement, it seems he may not have even had a majority despite Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
’ supermajority in both houses of the legislature.

"We are pleased the Governor and Legislature have dropped their countermeasure and welcome them to join our campaign to responsibly amend Prop 47 to deal with retail theft, the fentanyl crisis and homelessness," said Greg Totten, CEO of the California District Attorneys Association and a spokesperson for the now-only Proposition 47 reform ballot measure, in a statement to The Center Square.

California voters passed Prop. 47 a decade ago making most theft and drug crimes into rarely-prosecuted misdemeanors, leading a coalition of businesses and law enforcement to launch the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act. If passed in November, the TRA will allow for felony charges against serial thieves and combining thefts to meet the $950 felony threshold, and create new penalties for fentanyl dealers on the level of dealers of other hard drugs.

It would also create a new "crime" called a a "treatment-mandated felony" that would let an individual who "successfully completes drug and mental health treatment" have the conviction expunged and face no jail time, and receive shelter, job training, and other services to get back on their feet post-treatment.

Newsom’s competing measure would have introduced penalties for drug pushers who sell drugs with fentanyl mixed in, but these cases would be difficult to prove, as prosecution would need to prove dealers knew fentanyl is present in the drug, that the buyer did not know there was fentanyl in the drug, and have not told the buyer there is fentanyl in the drug. It also would have allowed thieves to face felony charges after two theft convictions over $50 within the last two years, but TRA supporters argued this would cause "repeated thefts" under $50.

Newsom tried to force Democrats to add "poison pill" amendments invalidating their bipartisan package of anti-crime bills if the TRA passes, but opposition from Republicans and moderate Democrats left those amendments on the floor. Newsom’s proposition withdrawal marks his second defeat from Democrats in the last week over his response to the TRA.

Newsom appears to have moved on from the issue, and today announced his new nationally-distributed podcast and radio show called "Politickin" with Super Bowl Champion Marshawn Lynch and NFL superstar agent Doug Hendrickson. Today he’s also at the White House meeting with President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
and other Democratic governors.
