Texas City Becomes Latest to Ban Abortion, Passes ‘Sanctuary for the Unborn’ Ordinance: Epoch Times

25 Jun 2021 Michael A

Mark Lee Dickson, the head with Right To Life of East Texas and founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative, told Life News that the vote is “a victory for the unborn” as well as for women who received abortions when they were younger but regretted it. She cited Levelland resident Kati Morris’s testimony. Morris, who helped lead the effort in Levelland, told Texas Scorecard: “I had an abortion many years ago, 30 miles away in Lubbock, and that abortion devastated my life … Abortion does not help women, it destroys women and takes the life of their children. What community needs that as an option for the people of their community?” …The nearby city of Lubbock approved a similar ordinance on May 1. Planned Parenthood challenged Lubbock’s ordinance in court, which was dismissed by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who argued that Planned Parenthood lacked jurisdiction.

The Systemic Con Behind Wokeism: Epoch Times Commentary, Victor Davis Hanson

25 Jun 2021 Michael A

Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other isms. For some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: transferring one’s own prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them. So should we laugh or cry that Black Lives Matter’s self-described Marxist co-founder might be a corporate grifter? According to a New York Post report, Patrisse Khan-Cullors has accumulated several upscale homes, and one of her foundations failed to report significant donations to the IRS. Is it the case that the more Khan-Cullors professes Marxist ideology and damns toxic whiteness, the more she feels comfortable living in a $1.4 million home in Southern California’s ritzy Topanga Canyon area?

Biden, Pelosi Could Be Denied Communion After US Catholic Bishops’ Vote: Epoch Times

24 Jun 2021 Michael A

Catholic bishops based in the United States voted to approve the drafting of a “teaching document” that may rebuke President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and others for their support of abortion.

More than 73 percent of bishops—or 168 to 55 with six abstentions—this week cast their ballots during a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conference to report on the meaning of the Eucharist in the church. The move could potentially set up the denial of communion to Biden, Pelosi, and other elected officials who are Catholic. …Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, said on Thursday that many Catholics are confused about a president who attends Mass regularly but supports “the most radical pro-abortion agenda in history.”

Critical Race Theory Feud on Full Display at School Board Meeting: Epoch Times

…He said that he had attended the equity training three times: March 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021. He and other teachers were told early in the activity that “cultural competence was eventually going to be part of our evaluation process.” “To me, that meant ‘accept it. Or this could affect how we grade you and your job performance.’ It seems like it will lead to firing if they need to.” …“What we’re doing is we’re shining the light on what this board is doing. This board has had a secret enemies list. And the enemies list is designed to intimidate and to punish people who stand up against critical race theory and who stand up against this transgender madness that’s going on,” Black told The Epoch Times. “So anyway, I gave my speech. And when I gave the speech, everybody just went crazy. And the board retreated.”

Texas Governor Announces Special Legislative Session on Voting and Critical Race Theory Bills: Epoch Times

The voting measure would grant more power to poll watchers by giving them more access inside polling areas, while creating new penalties against election officials who restrict poll watchers’ movements. The proposal would also allow a judge to void the outcome of an election if the number of fraudulent votes could change the result. …Abbott’s other priority legislation deals with how bail is handled, according to his recent comments to news outlets. The proposed measure, which was also killed by House Democrats last month, would make it more difficult for people who are arrested to bond out of jail without providing cash. [In cast you are unaware of the bail-reform bill in NYC and elsewhere, a criminal is released without bail after being arrested, one man in NYC robbed 4 banks in one day because he wasn’t held after the first crime. This necessarily creates chaos in communities where it is used. It seems to be just another way in which the left is destroying America so it can be rebuilt as a socialist nation]

The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) has also funded several studies conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including research focused on bat coronaviruses alongside U.S.-based research groups such as the Anthony Fauci-funded EcoHealth Alliance. …Despite the military ties, Collins entered the government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) into a joint agreement with the NSFC to facilitate “cooperation in medical research” in 2010.
…The following year, a 16-person delegation from the NIH – headed by Hugh Auchincloss, the Deputy Director of Anthony Fauci’s NIAID – visited Beijing to meet with their Chinese Communist Party counterparts to solidify “carry[ing] out the funding of joint research programs.”

Critical Race Theory May Violate Civil Rights Act, the Constitution: Dr. Carol Swain: Epoch Times

22 Jun 2021 Michael A

…Dr. Carol Swain, a former professor of political science and law at Princeton and Vanderbilt universities. …The main tenet of Critical Race Theory (CRT) is that the people of the world are divided into oppressors and oppressed, and in the United States, “all white people are considered oppressors who benefit from undeserved advantages,” Swain told The Epoch Times in an interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program. A lot of white people who are forced into CRT-based training, and forced to confess to being racist because of their race, do not realize that they are protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, and disability, explained the retired professor. …White people are protected in the same way that black people are by civil rights laws, she said. “We’re not a country where it’s acceptable to bully and shame people because of the color of their skin.”

Congresswoman Nancy Mace: ‘Inflation Is Taxation’- Epoch Times

22 Jun 2021 Michael A

Freshman Rep. Nancy Mace (R-N.C.) said Monday that although President Joe Biden and the Democrats have said they will not raise taxes on low- and middle-income earners, out-of-control spending by the federal government is causing inflation and is a form of taxation. …Some Fed officials are not fully convinced that inflation is temporary. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Monday that the economy is in unprecedented territory, making it hard to know where inflation will go next… …“When I go to the grocery store today, I’m shopping on the exterior aisle—meat, fruit, and vegetables—because the cost of groceries has gone up 21 percent. The cost of lumber to build a house, up 381 percent, which means to build a house today, over last year, is 30 percent more expensive today than it was a year ago. And after Colonial Pipeline, we all saw gas prices go up. My gas prices have stayed up. They haven’t gone back down,” said Mace.
