PA Democrat Lawmaker Who Proposed Mandatory Vasectomies for Men Backtracks and Now Claims It was Just “Parody Legislation”

0

Pennsylvania Democrat Christopher M. Rabb sent out a memorandum last October 2 to all House members regarding his legislation that will enforce reproductive responsibility among men. 

The bill will force men to undergo vasectomies within 6 weeks from having their third child or their 40th birthday, whichever comes first.

This legislation includes a $10,000 reward to whoever snitches to the proper authority on those who have failed to submit to forced sterilization within the allotted time. You can read the rest here: Pennsylvania House Democrat Introduces Forced Sterilization/Three Child Limit Legislation

It sounds like a liberal pipe dream!

After receiving backlash that included threats of violence, the Democrat lawmaker is backtracking.  He now claims that the proposed bill was a “parody legislation” and he only introduced it because it has “no chance of passing”.

In his press release, Rabb was inspired to propose the bill to ‘spark conversation in response to bills restricting abortion rights across the country.’

Local 12 reported:

Rabb says the vasectomy requirement at age forty or after child number three is just meant to spark a conversation.

“I think it’s appropriate to push the envelope and get people talking so I proposed parity legislation so if you don’t understand satire you aren’t going to get it. It’s levity on a very serious issue, but the bottom line is I want to create a conversation about how easily we accept government intervening into the health decisions of women, which should be between them and their family, and then saying what would it feel like if men were being regulated.”

The Gateway Pundit reported this memo two days after it was introduced and the memo itself never say it was for satirical purposes.

Pennsylvania House Democrat Introduces Forced Sterilization – Three-Child Limit Legislation

 

Who would assume that lawmakers are introducing legislation just for jokes and laughs?  He says it was a “satirical bill” just for a show? Earlier today a fake news fact-checker reached out to Gateway Pundit for a comment.

I am reaching out about an Oct. 4 Gateway Pundit article  in which you claim that Rep. Christopher Rabb introduced a memo requiring men to undergo vasectomies within six weeks of their third child or 40th birthday. The article is misleading as it fails to mention that this piece of legislation is satirical and aimed at highlighting reproductive rights in Texas and other sites, as noted by several news outlets and Rabb himself.

Mr. Rabb, you should know better. Is it your job now to pass ridiculous bills? Of course, Americans have the right to be outraged. If you think your job is a joke and it is your responsibility to pass satirical bills “just to spark conversation”, then you should resign.

Concealed Carry Corner: Carry Guns of Collateral

Every week, I talk about topics varying from situational awareness, holster choice and gear options for carrying concealed. All those are extremely important but sometimes it’s fun to take a step back and look at what pop culture decides to carry in movies. One of my favorite reality-based movies has to be the 2004 classic […]

Why Shortages Are Permanent: Global Supply Shortages Make Fantastic Financial Sense

0

This article was originally published by Charles Hugh Smith at Of Two Minds Blog.

The era of abundance was only a short-lived artifact of the initial boost phase of globalization and financialization.

Global corporations didn’t go to all the effort to establish quasi-monopolies and cartels for our convenience–they did it to ensure reliably large profits from control and scarcity. Not all scarcities are artificial, i.e. the result of cartels limiting supply to keep prices high; many scarcities are real, and many of these scarcities can be traced back to the stripping out of redundancy / multiple suppliers of industrial essentials to streamline efficiency and eliminate competition.

Recall that competition and abundance are anathemas to profits. Wide-open competition and structural abundance are the least conducive setting for generating reliably ample profits, while quasi-monopolies and cartels that control scarce supplies are the ideal profit-generating machines.

The incentives to expand the number of suppliers, i.e. increase competition, are effectively zero. America’s corporations spent $11 trillion buying back their own stocks over the past decade; that’s equal to the combined GDP of Japan, Germany, and Italy. If adding new suppliers to the global supply chain were profitable, some of that $11 trillion would have exploited those vast profits.

The financial reality is attempting to compete with an established cartel that has captured regulatory and political mechanisms is a foolhardy waste of capital. If firing up a new supplier of essential solvents, etc. was so captivatingly profitable, then why wouldn’t Google and Apple take a slice of their billions in cash and go make some easy money?

The barriers to entry are high and the markets are limited. A great many specialty lubricants, solvents, alloys, wires, etc. are essential to the manufacture of all the consumer and industrial products that are sourced globally, but the markets are narrow: manufacturers need X amount of a specialty solvent, not 10X.

Back in the good old days before globalization and financialization conquered the world, corporations lined up three reliable suppliers for every critical component, as this redundancy alleviated supply chain chokeholds. But to keep those three suppliers in the business, you need to spread the order book among all three. Nobody will keep a facility open if it’s only used occasionally when the primary supplier runs into a spot of bother.

And so now we’re all seated at the banquet of consequences flowing from stripping out redundancy and competition and ceding control of supply chains to quasi-monopolies and cartels. Scarcities are their source of profits, and since it makes zero financial sense to spend a fortune building a plant to make solvents, lubricants, alloys, etc. in limited quantities in markets dominated by quasi-monopolies and cartels, shortages are a permanent feature of the 21st-century global economy.

The era of abundance was only a short-lived artifact of the initial boost phase of globalization and financialization; now that the consolidation is complete, shortages make fantastic financial sense.

By all means, thank Corporate America for squandering $11 trillion to further enrich the top 0.1% and insiders. Alas, there was no better use for all those trillions than further enriching the already-super-rich.

WHAT? Shady Maricopa County Official Claims They Had to Secretly Delete Information from Servers Under Subpoena to Make Room for the Next Election? (Video)

0

The Arizona Forensic Audit Team announced during their summary report 10 days ago that they caught Maricopa Countydeleting subpoenaed files during their investigation.

Investigator Ben Cotton shared the IT results from the audit of the 2020 Maricopa County Election Results in Maricopa County.  During his presentation, he noted that files were deleted by those involved in the election the day before the machines were to be handed over to the audit team.
This is very likely a criminal act.

Cotton noted that his team was able to identify the time stamps for when the files were deleted and altered by Maricopa County officials.

Ben Cotton: “We have captured screenshots of Maricopa County people at the keyboards during those time periods.”

The audience cheered in hearing the news!

At the 3:30 mark you can see Cotton’s remarks.

On Thursday Maricopa County officials testified before a US House committee hearing.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) on Thursday grilled the crooked Maricopa County officials during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

Biggs asked the Maricopa Officials why they deleted 2020 election data from the Dominion election equipment after it was subpoenaed by the Arizona State Senate.

Chairman Jack Sellers: I just know that because there is limited space on these servers when you have to run another election then you have to make room for the additional election data.

It doesn’t work that way, Jack.
Where is the Attorney General with the criminal investigation into these officials?

Biden’s State Department Spills the Beans – Announces How Many Nukes the US Has to the World

0

Biden’s inept team in the State Department announced the number of nuclear warheads the country has, reversing President Trump’s policy.

American Military News reported:

On Tuesday, the U.S. State Department under President Joe Biden publicly disclosed the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal in a reversal from the policy under President Donald Trump to keep the true size of the U.S. arsenal a secret.

In a press release, the State Department revealed as of 2020, the U.S. stockpile of nuclear warheads consisted of 3,750 warheads.

“The United States is releasing newly declassified information on the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile to update the information previously released in September 2017,” the State Department press release states. “Increasing the transparency of states’ nuclear stockpiles is important to nonproliferation and disarmament efforts, including commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and efforts to address all types of nuclear weapons, including deployed and non-deployed, and strategic and non-strategic.”

The last time the U.S. government released its nuclear stockpile number was in March 2018, when it revealed it had 3,822 warheads as of September 2017. Following that disclosure, Trump made the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal a secret and denied a request by the Federation of American Scientists to declassify the number, the Associated Press reported.
The Associated Press reported the nuclear stockpile numbers for 2019 and 2018 were also revealed. The U.S. had 3,805 nuclear warheads in 2018 and 3,785 in 2019.

CNN reports:

The release of the “Transparency in the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Stockpile” fact sheet comes as the Biden administration is conducting a review of its nuclear weapons policy and capabilities ahead of a 2022 meeting of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty conference, where the US and other nuclear powers who are party to the Treaty will review each signatory’s disarmament commitments.

The insanity of an Administration put in place from a stolen election knows no bounds.

Biden Defends “Mass Firings” and “Hundreds of People Losing Their Jobs” Over His Unconstitutional Vax Mandates (VIDEO)

0

Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to the greater Chicago area to promote his unconstitutional vaccine mandates.

Biden delivered remarks from a Clayco Construction site in Elk Grove Village after taking a tour of the facility.

Biden could barely read his teleprompter and struggled to recall the word “telephone.”

At one point Dementia Joe totally forgot where he was: “The Ohio Pennsylvania, the Ohio Pennsylvania, I’m from Pennsylvania,” Biden said gesturing to himself. “The Illinois president.”

Biden also defended “mass firings” and thousands of people losing their jobs because of his vax mandates.

Joe Biden is an expert at killing jobs (and US servicemembers).

He killed tens of thousands of jobs his first day in office and continues to do so to this day.

“When you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs, look at the bigger story,” Biden said bragging about his jobs-killing mandate.

Twin Brothers and Gang Members in Portland Arrested for Illegally Buying Firearms

0

Twin gang members in Portland were arrested for illegally buying firearms.  They bought 82 guns in 18 months.

KOIN6 reports:

Twin brothers from Gresham are facing federal charges after illegally buying dozens of firearms, many of which have been linked to shootings across the Portland area, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon said.

In May, federal investigators began their probe into multiple shootings reported by the Gresham Police Department and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. Local authorities said the shootings involved Edward Charles Green and Thomas Edward Green III — 23-year-old twin brothers living in Gresham. The brothers claim to be members of the Unthank Park Hustlers, which is a Portland sub-set of the Bloods, according to court documents. Around the same time, federal agents learned about multiple illegal gun purchases allegedly made by the Green brothers…

…Thomas Green III was arrested on Sept. 29 at an apartment where authorities said they found two semi-automatic guns, 16 empty gun boxes and ammunition. He appeared in federal court later that day and was released to home confinement.

Edward Green was arrested on Oct. 6 at his father’s home in Northeast Portland. He appeared in federal court the same day and remained in custody.

Both brothers have been charged by criminal complaint with falsifying information in connection with the acquisition of a firearm and making false statements in a federal firearms licensee record.

These guys look frightening in their pictures.   God only knows all they have been up to.

Joe Biden in Illinois: “The Ohio Pennsylvania, The Ohio Pennsylvania, I’m From Pennsylvania – the Illinois President” (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to the greater Chicago area to promote his unconstitutional vaccine mandates.

Biden delivered remarks from a Clayco Construction site in Elk Grove Village after taking a tour of the facility.

As usual, Joe Biden jumbled his words and forgot where he was.

“The Ohio Pennsylvania, the Ohio Pennsylvania, I’m from Pennsylvania,” Biden said gesturing to himself. “The Illinois president.”

Biden’s mental faculties are no more and the media refuses to address his obvious cognitive decline.

VIDEO:

The longer version of the video is even worse:

Joe Biden was a disaster in Michigan earlier this week.

During his speech, Joe Biden slurred his words, mumbled about Grandpop and a “jargee station” (no idea what he meant there), slurred his words and then finished off spouting some gibberish.
