Lawmakers Planning Direct Infringement of 2nd Amendment with Prohibition on Militias
Lawmakers Planning Direct Infringement of 2nd Amendment with Prohibition on Militias:
The extreme left never takes a lesson as learned, especially in its desire to take away our Second Amendment right to bear arms.
This time they have yet another attack on a right that has been safeguarded by the black-and-white words “shall not be infringed.” despite the left’s efforts to destroy that very right.
This newest attack on the Second Amendment is a direct violation of the Constitution itself as Democrats move to ban militias — the very military organizations provided for by the nation’s supreme law —

It's not the vax that causing the deaths... it the new virus coming down the pike. Yeah, that's the ticket!-----8th Shot of mRNA Vaccine, and the Coming ‘Heart Failure Pandemic’ | Facts Matter
8th Shot of mRNA Vaccine, and the Coming ‘Heart Failure Pandemic’ | Facts Matter"The largest magazine in America is the AARP magazine.
AARP stands for The American Association of Retired Persons —and their monthly magazine reaches an estimated 38 million members every single month.
And in the most recent edition of the magazine, they told their nearly 38 million members to “hustle” over and get another COVID, even if they’ve already had 5 boosters.
And this suggestion comes just in time, as scientists are now sounding a new alarm, and warning people that the latest variant of COVID might lead to a global “heart failure pandemic.”

'Complete blasphemy': Commercial fishermen rip Biden's 'ocean justice'
'Complete blasphemy': Commercial fishermen rip Biden's 'ocean justice':
The administration announced the “ocean justice” strategy in December 2023 during the United Nations (UN) climate summit, known as COP28, in order “to advance environmental justice for communities that rely on the ocean and Great Lakes for economic, cultural, spiritual, recreational and food security purposes.” However, several stakeholders in the commercial fishing industry who depend on the fruits of America’s waters to make a living — and are therefore interested in sustainable use of the oceans — say that the administration is overlooking their concerns about how the oceans are managed, especially with regard to the administration’s extensive efforts to fast track industrial scale offshore wind projects.

Diversity equity and inclusion require that groups – rather than individuals – be treated "equitably", and that preferred groups be advantaged in hiring, admissions and other benefits.
This is all part of the DEI attack on meritocracy. DEI demands that individuals be judged by the color of their skin and their identity rather than the content of their character — or their grades.
DEI now demands that schools begin with the goal of achieving equity grading by any means, including non-blind grading, grade inflation or grade abolition. Anything to undercut the equality of meritocratic blind grading that didn't achieve the goals of DEI.
The negative impact of equity grading is incalculable. It stifles learning, hard work and creativity. It fails to prepare students for the competitive world they will inevitably face after they finish being coddled by universities. It will destroy the competitive advantages American universities used to have.
