Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt Signs Bill Making Abortion at All Stages a Felony Into Law
Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill on Tuesday making abortion a felony into law except under certain conditions including medical emergency.
Earlier this month, Oklahoma lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to ban abortion and imprison doctors who perform the procedure.
Senate Bill 612 will have an exception for an abortion if it saves the expectant mother’s life. Doctors who perform abortions will be fined $100,000 and spend up to 10 years in prison.
Under this new law, cases of rape and incest do not provide exceptions.
“As governor, I represent all 4 million Oklahomans and they overwhelmingly support protecting life in the state of Oklahoma. We want Oklahoma to be the most pro-life state in the country. We want to outlaw abortion in the state of Oklahoma,” the governor said.
Washington Examiner reported:
The bill, SB 612, bans abortion at all stages, except for cases in which the mother’s life is at risk, and does not make exceptions for cases of rape and incest. Abortion providers who violate the new law are subject to a fine of up to $100,000 and 10 years in prison.
“We’re going to sign every piece of pro-life legislation that hits our desk,” Stitt said. “We want it clear that we want to choose life in Oklahoma. We don’t want to allow abortions in the state of Oklahoma right now.”
Stitt added that he and state Attorney General John O’Connor “know this bill will be challenged immediately by liberal activists from the coast who always seem to want to come in and dictate a mandate and challenge our way of life here in the state of Oklahoma.”
The bill first passed out of the Senate last year but was shelved temporarily. The House unexpectedly took it up for a vote earlier this month without debate or questions on the floor. It passed the House with a vote of 70 to 14.
“SB 612 is monumental for the unborn in OK. It is the strongest Pro-Life bill in the nation, and I was honored to author it and work with my colleagues in the legislature to get this bill passed,” said GOP state Sen. Nathan Dahm.
South Dakota Attorney General Impeached Over 2020 Car Crash in Which He Killed a Pedestrian
South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) was impeached by the state House on Tuesday over a 2020 car accident in which he killed a pedestrian.
The state House voted 36-31 to impeach Ravnsborg during a special session for the first time in the state’s history.
According to reports, Ravnsborg was driving home from a Republican dinner in September 2020 when he struck and killed a pedestrian who was walking on the highway’s shoulder.
Ravnsborg told a 911 dispatcher that he thought he struck a deer when he ran over 55-year-old Joseph Boever.
However, when he returned to the scene the next day, he discovered Boever’s dead body on the side of the road.
The Star Tribune reported:
The South Dakota House on Tuesday impeached state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg over a 2020 fatal crash in which he initially told authorities he thought he had struck a deer or another large animal.
Ravnsborg will at least temporarily be removed from office pending the historic Senate trial, where it takes a two-thirds majority to convict on impeachment charges.
Ravnsborg pleaded no contest last year to a pair of traffic misdemeanors in the crash, including making an illegal lane change. He has cast Joseph Boever’s death as a tragic accident.
In its 36-31 vote, the House rejected the recommendation of a GOP-backed majority report from a special investigative committee and sided with Noem, who has argued that Ravnsborg lied to investigators. Democrats also had pushed for impeachment, arguing that he was not “forthcoming” to law enforcement officers and had abused the power of his office.
Ravnsborg, who took office in 2019, initially told aides and a 911 dispatcher he did not know what he hit on a rural highway as he was returning home from a Republican dinner in September 2020. He went back to the scene the next day and found the body of 55-year-old Boever, who had been walking on the highway’s shoulder.
The Highway Patrol concluded that Ravnsborg’s car crossed completely onto the highway shoulder before hitting Boever, and criminal investigators said later that they didn’t believe some of Ravnsborg’s statements.
Jason Ravnsborg has physically left the office according to a spox for the Attorney General.
There will be a trial in the senate.
Poacher Steals Skull, Antler from Carcass of Famous Bull Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park
Rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park are trying to get to the bottom of a poaching incident involving a famous bull elk known locally as “Kahuna.” The bull’s carcass was located by wildlife photographers in March, and while the National Park Service still believes that the animal died from natural causes, the agency is now investigating the illegal removal of the bull’s skull and antler from within park boundaries.
According to the NPS, the skull and one remaining antler were removed from the carcass sometime between March 20 and 22. Officials indicated that the bull had already shed the other antler prior to its death.
“The elk’s remains should be allowed to return to the earth in Rocky Mountain National Park, where he brought much joy to thousands of park visitors over many years,” the agency said in a recent news release.
The bull—also known by other nicknames, including Bruno, Big Thirds, and Incredibull—was one of the most widely recognized and photographed animals in the history of the park, and his death made national headlines last month. His massive rack and dominating presence helped him stand out from the rest of the bulls in the park and he was well-known among wildlife photographers and other park visitors.
“The King has fallen!” wildlife photographer Andrew Sanders wrote in an Instagram post after the bull was found dead last month. “Debatably the most photographed bull in the country has laid to rest. [sic] The bull has given so many the shot of a lifetime and will always be remembered as one of the greatest bull elk to wander these parts. As a confirmed lion kill, he went out fighting till the end.”
After the announcement of Kahuna’s death, the NPS indicated that the bull had appeared underweight at the beginning of February, and that he was likely injured at some point during last year’s rut.
Sanders and fellow wildlife photographers at Good Bull Outdoors were apparently the first to report the death of the bull in March. They had been actively tracking the elk before he died and had apparently lost tabs on him when a winter storm hit the park on March 7. When they found the carcass, they reported finding mountain lion tracks nearby. Good Bull Outdoors also took the time to measure the bull’s rack, and according to those measurements, it scored an estimated 426 6/8 inches.
“[And] that’s after two years of declining antler size!” Good Bull Outdoors added in its Facebook post. “I can only imagine what he must have scored at his peak in 2019. 450? Maybe 460? More?”
The NPS is asking anyone with knowledge of the poaching incident to contact the park immediately by calling their tip line (970-586-1393) or by filling out a form online. The penalty for the illegal removal includes a fine of up to $5,000 and up to six months in prison.

Former FDA Official: The FDA Is “Purposely Hiding Facts” About COVID Vaccine Side Effects
Mac Slavo

SHTFplan.com
David Gortler, the former senior adviser to the FDA commissioner for drug safety said that the Food and Drug Administration is “purposely hiding facts” about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA shots.
Gortler was an FDA medical officer before being appointed by the Donald Trump White House as senior adviser to the FDA commissioner for drug safety, FDA science policy, and FDA regulatory affairs. He previously served as a professor of pharmacology and biotechnology at the Yale University School of Medicine, where he also served at Yale’s Bioethicist Center.
“It’s pretty clear today there are both safety and efficacy problems with vaccines and boosters,” in a column for the Federalist. Gortler, who is also a pharmacologist, pharmacist, and an FDA and health policy fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center said that the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control, Pfizer, and Moderna have all known from the beginning about myocarditis and pericarditis risks from the mRNA vaccines.
While there are also many other adverse events reported in the tracking system run by the FDA and the CDC, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), no formal warnings have been made to Americans, such as labeling and letters to warn physicians, pharmacists, or the American public, said Gortler. –LifeSiteNews
“Why? One reasonable explanation is because it would counter the narrative that endless vaccines and boosters is your patriotic duty,” Gortler wrote. “But since Covid-19 vaccinations were mandated by the White House for all workers until the Supreme Court took action (they are still mandated for health-care professionals), and the fact that Pfizer and Moderna still have a federally granted liability shield, the duty of safety monitoring must fall under the auspices of the FDA.”
He said FDA officials “are still pushing a potentially risky vaccine by purposely hiding facts from the public.”

Missouri Group that Recommended No Punishment for Soros-Backed DA Is Full of Radical University Leftists
Yesterday the Missouri Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (OCDC) recommended no penalties for Soros-backed St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardener despite Gardner having committed 62 different acts of misconduct. Only a group of far-left attorneys could have recommended this result.
Despite having committed numerous acts of misconduct in the state of Missouri, on Monday we reported that the OCDC recommended no penalty for Kim Gardner. Anyone else would have likely lost their license for multiple acts of misconduct, but not this one.
A court last year found that Kim Gardner engaged in 62 acts of misconduct and 79 false representations in her prosecution of Eric Greitens.
Kim Gardner already faces a misconduct probe for illicit conduct in her plot to take down popular Missouri Governor Eric Greitens.
But none of this mattered to the OCDC. The Missouri OCDC received 1,709 complaints in 2020, per its latest report. Only half of these complaints were investigated (855). Of this here are the results of the investigations. Only 9 lawyers in 2020 were disbarred (less than 1%).
It appears that the Missouri OCDC is lax on its rulings involving its fellow attorneys. This results in corrupt politicians being able to commit 62 acts of misconduct and nothing being done. Add the Missouri OCDC to the list of corrupt institutions in this country. This is pathetic.
Dr. Peter Navarro: Inflation Today Under Biden is as Bad Now as It Was at the End of Stagflation in the 1970s (VIDEO)
Inflation blew past 8% to 8.5% annually in March. It was the highest inflation rate since 1981.
Dr. Peter Navarro later went on the War Room and warned that this number today was as bad as the peak of stagflation in the 1980s.
Dr. Peter Navarro: It’s as bad now in the Biden regime at the beginning as it was at the peak and the end of the stagflation in the 70s.
