[Western Journal] Senate Democrats have rejected an amendment that would criminalize research that creates chimeras — also known as animal-human hybrids.
According to a Fox News report, the 49 votes against amending the Endless Frontier Act consisted of 47 Democrats and two independents, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine.
Forty-eight Republicans supported the measure which also contained language "barring the transfer of a human embryo to a non-human womb and vice versa," according to the report.
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sens. Tom Tillis of North Carolina and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee did not vote.
"We shouldn’t need to clarify in law that creating animal-human hybrids or ’chimeras’ is ethically unthinkable, but sadly the need for that very clear distinction has arrived," said Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford, who co-sponsored the bill with his colleagues, Sens. Mike Braun of Indiana and Steve Daines of Montana.
When teachers won’t teach, it isn’t fair to punish students who don’t learn, right?
[DAILYWIRE] This week, the Baltimore City Public Schools, attempting to avoid holding students back who have poor grades, announced a new grading policy that would enable students who failed one class to still proceed to the next grade.
The school district said it was taking the new approach because of effects caused by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic. Chief Academic Officer Joan Dabrowski said the new approach is meant to "avoid the punitive approach of failing students," according to CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... "This is not about a failure, but it is about unfinished learning and giving multiple opportunities, multiple onramps for young people to complete that ... learning," Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Sonja Santelises added.
A high school student who normally would receive an "F" for a course will now receive a "No Credit" designation. For students in second through eighth grades, "Unsatisfactory" or "Fail" will now be marked "Not Completed."
Dabrowski explained, "In all of these instances, we want to emphasize the word ’yet.’ Not completed yet, no credit yet."

I propose a PhD (in blackness studies) to every African-American at birth.

Translation, High School Graduates from Baltimore are illiterate, ignorant, and worthless as employees. But you have to hire them anyway if they are black because...racist.
Not sure why they felt the need to insert the 'quietly' qualifier, but there it is.
[Legal Insurrection] - Two big changes took place on the FOX News channel this week with little fanfare. Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile left her role as a contributor, and liberal journalist Juan Williams stepped down from the panel show ’The Five.’
You have to wonder if the network is still feeling the effects of anger from former fans after the 2020 election. Not really; they are.
In both cases, the changes were made amicably. Brazile says she left of her own accord.
Jordan Lancaster reported at the Daily Caller:
Donna Brazile Has Left Fox News: Report
Former Democratic party chairwoman Donna Brazile quietly left Fox News last week, the New York Times reported Friday.
Brazile was hired by the network in 2019 as a liberal analyst. She praised the Black Lives Matter movement and has criticized former President Donald Trump, which was often a departure from the views of other commentators. She quietly joined ABC as a commentator last week, according to the report.

Harris and Pelosi don't mind when Joey does something silly. When they decide the time is right, they will compile Joey's faux pas as "evidence" and invoke the 25th Amendment.

I think there is a strategic problem inside the Kalorama Kompound regarding Bidet and Harris. I'm convinced that there is a serious internecine war ongoing between the Marxists and the Clintons, as reflected in the dueling exposes in the NYT and other liberal flagship sources.. But clearly I think they also have a Bidet problem because increasingly he is acting willfully and off the leash. It's like his damaged and clouded consciousness is aware he is the President and doesn't have to accept a rigid script handed him. The compounding dilemma is the utter dumpster-fire that is the Vice President. She is mutinous, stupid, arrogant and knows she is immune from most censure, threatening the Race/Girl card at any criticism. She is playing the long game, knowing the Presidency will fall into her lap, since JoJo won't make it through two years, let alone four. So the strategy of the Central COmmittee is a rush to Direct by Executive Order anything on the dream list, buy everything with insane spending levels, and corrupt more fully every agency of the federal government with mid-level fellow travelers and race based promotions. Undoing this miasma in four years may not be possible, no matter who tries.

What NoMoreBS said is exactly the perception in foreign policymaker circles as far as South Asia. Our governments are anticipating the Kamala regime already; some with dread for the fate of the world and some with perverse glee.

Funny, that. We seem to hear less and less of that Miraculously Vanishing VP.
What are Brennan and ValJar up to?
What's the long game here?

Now *this* is interesting from a traffic analysis point of view. She seems to have disappeared about the time she was appointed Border Queen of the South. While I certainly don't mind her absence, but she does seem to be a bit of an attention whore and it's hard to imagine her staying out of the limelight now that she has made it to nearly the top.
Utter Speculation: Half the country will explode when she becomes President. Suppose she is off having an accident or long-term illness or whatever. Now she must be replaced with the *real* future President so The Plan can go forward. Who gets picked: ValJar, Bo, Marie Harf?

For peasants and pundits, great hesitance
Precedes inspiration: Co-Presidents!
Will George and Barack

Except the infrastructure spending is not on infrastructure and the education spending is not on education and the climate change spending is not on climate change.
The U.S. government's total revenue is estimated to be $3.863 trillion for FY 2021. So it seems the Socialist-Democrats are using a new version of Concept Math.
Or funneling exit $$$$ for political asylum later, if their COUP is legally exposed in the courts and fails.

So it was all just a plan to just rob the country, supported by wakandan hustlers, terrorists and mad dykes posing as 'saviors of America from Orange Man'.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Gun control activist David Hogg,
...the callow, sophomoric business failure who only a few years ago was the face of the anti-gun lobby because he happened to go to a high school that had a massacre the day he was cutting class ...
a survivor of the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is "clearly unstable" and should be prohibited from possessing firearms. Hogg should be prohibited by law from starting pillow companies...
Speaking to "The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur,
...the racist, sexist, former Bernie Bro who after half a century on this planet is a bit long in the tooth to be a young Turk or anything else...
Mr. Hogg, 21, cited video that shows Ms. Greene, Georgia Republican, taunting him and others on Capitol Hill prior to her being elected last year.
Recalling a 2019 video that surfaced in January, Mr. Hogg, said the future congresswoman had filmed herself harassing him while he was in Washington to lobby Congress when he was just 18 years old.
Another video from 2019 emerged last month of Ms. Greene berating Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... , New York Democrat, through a mailbox slot in the door of the congresswoman’s office, Mr. Hogg noted.
"I don’t think somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is clearly unstable, should have access to a weapon like an AR-15 — or any weapon, period, in my opinion," Mr. Hogg said in the interview Monday.
"Unfortunately, there’s a long history of gun violence taking place on the House and Senate floor," Mr. Hogg added. "I don’t want to see that history repeat itself when we have the chance to prevent it right now, and I seriously just think that something needs to be done."
A spokesperson for Ms. Greene did not immediately respond to a message requesting comment.
Seventeen people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland by a former student using an AR-15-style rifle, prompting a push for new gun laws led by Mr. Hogg and fellow survivors.

Just a reminder - when a Democrat harasses a Republican, that's not just okay, it's even lauded. When the roles are reversed, the Republican harasser is clearly an unstable nutjob who should only be using plastic cutlery and paper straws.

Interesting to note.
None the 3 major fact checking sites have ever
changed their FALSE rating to FACT. Even after
David Hogg himself said he was NOT at the Parkland school during the actual shooting clearly in the CBS "39 days later interview".
Quoting his statement: DAVID HOGG: "On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting."
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] The Biden administration has sought to racialize the COVID-19 pandemic response, including a restaurant aid program within the American Rescue Plan. A judge just ruled that isn’t going to fly.
The ruling comes by way of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Antonio Vittolo vs. Isabella Casillas Guzman. Guzman’s lawsuit argued that white men are being ’pushed to the back of the line’ for aid in the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... relief program. The lawsuit was directed at U.S. Small Business Association Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman by Antonio Vitolo, who is the owner of Jake’s Bar and Grill in Harriman, Tennessee. A majority 2-1 decision found that Biden’s race-based litmus test for aid is not legal.
"This case is about whether the government can allocate limited coronavirus relief funds based on the race and sex of the applicants," Judge Thapar ruled. "We hold that it cannot."
"The Small Business Administration has injected explicit racial and ethnic preferences into the priority process," the ruling continued. "Under a regulation that predates the pandemic, the agency presumes certain applicants are socially disadvantaged based solely on their race or ethnicity. Groups that presumptively qualify as socially disadvantaged—and thus get to jump to the front of the line for priority consideration—include ’Black Americans,’ ’Hispanic Americans,’ ’Asian Pacific Americans,’ ’Native Americans,’ and ’Subcontinent Asian Americans.’ If you are in one of these groups, the Small Business Administration assumes you qualify as socially disadvantaged. Indeed, the only way not to qualify is if someone comes forward ’with credible evidence to the contrary’."
As the SBA’s funding proceeded past the initial emergency funding phase, it continued to implement racial and sexual bias in its decisions.
"There is an obvious solution to this of course: The agency can simply fund grants in the order they were received—without regard to priority status, and without regard to the processing head start that many applications received on the basis of race and sex," the ruling noted.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. She sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications... last Tuesday said she would only give interviews to people of color
Her temporary policy, she said, was to draw attention to a lack of diversity
On Thursday, a white reporter from the Daily Caller suing Lightfoot in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
The lawsuit, filed by Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch, alleges that Thomas Catenacci was denied an interview by Lightfoot
The lawsuit claims Catenacci's First Amendment rights were violated, as well as his Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection
Tucker Carlson has described Lightfoot as a Nazi and monster and other journalists also reacted in anger towards the mayor's decision
One Latino journalist in the city said his newspaper cancelled their interview

[FoxNews] Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., arrived on the Senate floor Friday morning accompanied by a stack of colorful poster boards to rail against "ridiculous" taxpayer-funded research at the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies.
Paul, a fiscal conservative, delivered a 32-minute speech Friday morning to oppose the bipartisan Endless Frontier Act that would expand science and technology research that proponents say will help the U.S. counter China. Paul warned of the $28 trillion national debt and said the U.S. should be reining in wasteful spending and not borrowing more money from China to fund such legislation.
