Taking the last little bit of joy of autumn and sacrificing it on the Holy Alter of a political agenda.
Fuckers.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School has canceled its upcoming Halloween parade because it ‘marginalizes’ students of color
Administrators claimed that a number of students, specially African American boys, do not celebrate Halloween and feel excluded by the annual event
The newsletter states that students will still recognize the season by participating in activities like a 'thematic study of fall'
At least one parent of a student of color has taken issue with the school’s decision and the fact that parents weren't asked for any input before it was made

However, it decided to cancel the event this year because it could be upsetting for children who can’t afford a Halloween costume and that the loud noise levels and crowds are triggering to some kids, according to the newsletter.
[GMTODAY] Gov. J.B. Pritzker has been working to change the Health Care Right of Conscience Act, which some have invoked in the fight against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.The 1998 Health Right of Conscience Act bans discrimination because of such persons’ refusal to receive or participate in any way in any particular form of health care services contrary to his or her conscience.
Some have said the law allows people to avoid getting the COVID-19 vaccine and evade Pritzker’s executive order mandating vaccination or regularly testing for health care workers, educators and other state employees.
Ameri Klafeta, of the ACLU of Illinois, said people are abusing the 1998 law and using it in a way that was not intended.
"The cases that have been brought under this law have always involved health care professionals," Klafeta said. "This was never a law for individual citizens."

[BIZPACREVIEW] U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth is holding D.C. Jail Warden Wanda Patten and D.C. Department of Correction Director Quincy Booth in contempt of court, accusing them of ’inexcusable’ delays in providing medical treatment to prisoner Chris Worrell, who is accused of partaking in the January 6 Reichstag Capitol ...A demonstration held in the capital in support of President Trump and against election thievery that Dems have been calliing an insurrection. It's the Dem equivalent of the Reichstag Fire... Hill riot.
’American Greatness’ writer Julie Kelly live-tweeted the hearing and the resulting action by the judge.
"Judge Lamberth just found the DC Jail Warden and DC DOC Director in contempt of court for refusing to turn over requested documents related to care for cancer-stricken J6 detainee," she wrote. "Says civil rights are being violated at the jail, will refer to Attorney General office. FINALLY!!"

They don't realize that they are adjusted to 3rd world bullshittery, and that the majority of people here are not or will be no matter how many times they look their masked face into their bathroom mirror and chant New Normal mantras.
[BREITBART] The White House admitted Wednesday they were unable to guarantee packages would arrive on time this Christmas.
"We are not the postal service, or UPS, or FedEx," White House press secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... said. "We cannot guarantee. What we can do is use every lever at the federal government’s disposal to reduce delays."
Psaki repeatedly posited that the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.

the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.
Last week, the Florida Ports Council put out a press release telling shippers that the state’s ports are open, staffed, and ready for business. “Florida is where your success comes in, and our seaports are the solution to ensure the cargo shipping logjam doesn’t become the grinch that stole Christmas,” said Florida Ports Council President and CEO Michael Rubin. He added, “With inflation growing, shipping and manufacturing industries can save time and money by calling on Florida ports. Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market?”
Any rate, it is the red tape and regulations, which government is.
Perhaps, dear readers, you have noticed that during an emergency, such as a gasoline pipeline shutting down, the quickest and most effective move is suspending trucking regulations.
[BREITBART] It’s not just getting more expensive to feed your family in the U.S.It’s getting more expensive to keep shoes on your children’s feet.
The price of boys’ and girls’ footwear jumped a 3.3 percent in September from August, a huge one-month increase. Compared with a year ago, the prices of kids shoes are up 11.9 percent, the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index showed Wednesday.
That’s a big burden for families struggling with higher prices for food at home, food at restaurants, appliances, furniture, and gasoline.
It’s also more expensive to shod mom and dad. Men’s footwear prices are up 5.5 percent and women’s are up 4.9 percent.
Sports vehicles, the category that includes bicycles, are up 8.9 percent. Sports equipment prices are up 5.4 percent.

Not only that, but with newspapers dying out the traditional material for patching the soles of their old shoes is in short supply.

Less stuff : good
Less Chinese-made junk : good
More attention to building stuff that lasts : really good
[RT] The Democrat House speaker has become the latest member of Congress to show the rest of us how to make money on Wall Street. But please don’t put it down to insider trading, because that’s illegal.
In case you missed it, Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... (D-Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,) is being panned by the Twitterverse, if not by regulators and ethicists, for a series of stock transactions conducted by her husband Paul.
"The week before the House Judiciary Committee voted on reigning in big tech," reported Fortune in July, "Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband exercised a bullish bet on Google-parent Alphabet, in a timely transaction that netted him $5.3 million."
See? It’s really easy.
All you have to do is become a party leader in Congress with access to information that no one else has, and bingo, you too can become a dot-com, or Big Tech, or biotech millionaire, by trading on that insider information.
Of course, that’s not really how it happened in this case. According to a spokesperson for Pelosi: "The speaker has no involvement or prior knowledge of these transactions." That hasn’t stopped some voters expressing, well, some skepticism.

It was back in high school when I noticed that it did not make economic sense to spend millions of dollars to get a job that paid $100K a year. Kinda sorta made me think something else might be going on. Know what I mean? *nudge*nudge*wink*wink*

I remember years ago that congress made sure they were above the insider trading laws made for us pee-ons. Why doesn't the Supreme Court require the congress to be subject to all laws they write for the riff raff? Time to fire those who think they're above the laws they command of others including the Supreme Court.

“While lawmakers who violate the STOCK Act face a fine, the penalty is usually small — $200 is the standard amount — or waived by House or Senate ethics officials,” said Businessinsider.
So it isn't a fine, but rather a trading fee. How very innovative.
Most of his best stock picks have involved either oligopolies or legislative arbitrage, in both cases, companies that took advantage of favorable legislation or regulatory treatment. Tobacco, newspapers, insurance and financial companies .... Another more recent example: scooping up the railroad stocks during the period when the Democrats were killing the Keystone pipeline.
Better way to word that without sounding snotty, because the story is being avoided, is that it is so painfully obvious, NPR had to put their take on it.
[FOXNEWS] More than 500 pages of internal documents from DC Metropolitan Police concerning the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on Jan. 6 reveal witness accounts stating she was not holding a weapon at the time of her death and how "upset" the officer was after shooting her.
"These previously secret records show there was no good reason to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt," stated Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which obtained the documents through a May 2021 FOIA lawsuit. "The Biden-Garland Justice Department and the Pelosi Congress have much to answer for the over the mishandling and cover-up of this scandalous killing of an American citizen by the U.S. Capitol Police."
Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot and killed during the storming of the Capitol by a bullet fired by Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd. The documents from the DC Metropolitan Police department show that witnesses did not see Babbitt holding a weapon prior to her being shot, and reveal conflicting accounts of whether Byrd verbally warned Babbitt before shooting her.
A Capitol Police sergeant, whose name is redacted, described seeing Babbitt climbing through a broken window, but did not witness her holding a weapon, according to a portion of the documents received by Judicial Watch.
"Sergeant [redacted] observed a white, female protester was climbing through an opened area where the glass pane had been knocked out. He heard a gunshot and this female fell backwards through the opening. The crowd on the other side of the barricaded east doors, began to step back and some put their hands in the air. Sergeant [redacted] observed Lieutenant Byrd step back just after hearing the gunshot. He did not see anything in the female protester’s hands prior to the gunshot," the Internal Affairs Division report stated.
"Sergeant [redacted] never went on the other side of the barricaded east door. He also did not know that it was Lieutenant Byrd who shot his gun until he talked to him moments after it occurred. Lieutenant Byrd looked upset and stated, ’I was the one who took the shot,’" the report continued.
“There’s a lot of tax fraud and cheating that’s going on.” Treasury @SecYellen tells @NorahODonnell the proposed $600 IRS reporting requirement for banks is “absolutely not” a way for the government to peek into American’s pocketbooks but to hold billionaires accountable. pic.twitter.com/M3VKOhdtSu
Imagine, if you will, an "Unexpected Financial Emergency" requiring a "One Time" 10% auto-deduction of all banking accounts, set for Date X. Now you can't go put it into bills without being flagged.
Think Frank G is on the path here; one giant shove towards all electronic currency. Black Markets don't generate tax for The Revenuers. Bonus points for preventing Black Markets which promote Ungovernables.

If these dipshits come up with this bullshit, I will withdraw $599.99 everyday. Gold and silver coins become more attractive. Will this $600 limit apply to cyber currency like Bitcoin? Barter will also become more attractive. Such a dictate will stimulate a lively underground economy.

Not quite. Cash or even bank equivalent cash devalues with inflation, making it a 'cash cow' for government. Right about 'fooling' but wrong about why.
As I understand it, the rule is not about the size of the transaction but about the size of the account - ALL transactions in accounts of greater than $600 will be subject to scrutiny.
[WashingtonExaminer] A growing number of likely voters believe that cheating tainted President Joe Biden’s 2020 win over former President Donald Trump, and even more feel that a key Democratic election reform scheme will increase fraud.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 56% of respondents said, "It’s likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who say it’s ’very likely.’"

[Breitbart] The U.S. bishops’ pro-life chairman Archbishop Joseph Naumann is urging President Joe Biden to act like the "devout Catholic" he says he is by opposing the evil of abortion, Catholic News Agency reported Tuesday.
Speaking on EWTN News Nightly on October 8, Archbishop Naumann said the Biden administration is "in the control of abortion extremists."
"It’s really sad," Naumann said in reaction to Biden’s reversal of the "Protect Life Rule," which barred Title X recipients that provide or promote abortion from receiving tax dollars.
"He likes to call himself a devout Catholic. I would urge him to begin to act like one, especially on the life issues," the archbishop said. "And to let his faith really inform his conscience and the decisions that he’s making, not the platform of his party."

Obviously developments in Human Husbandry escaped the Archbishop. Frequently used terms such as "limited or spaced birthing" and "herd immunity" should have been a signal of things to come.
The manipulation of the Archbishop's flock is indeed a reality.
[RT] Former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... has called out his successor Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... , pointing to the supply chain issues, inflation, foreign policy, and even 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 to ask if Americans miss his tenure in the White House.
"[Covid] is raging out of control, our supply chains are crashing with little product in our stores, we were humiliated in Afghanistan, our Border is a complete disaster, gas prices and inflation are zooming upward—how’s Biden doing? Do you miss me yet?" Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.
It was posted on Twitter by his spokeswoman Liz Harrington.
Though the tone of the statement resembled his trademark tweets, Trump was banned from the platform in January — while still the sitting president — after Twitter said his words could be interpreted by some as inciting violence following the riot at the US Capitol.
He has since needled Biden — whom he refuses to accept as the legitimate president — in a series of statements.
Wednesday’s mini-rant comes on the heels of reports that annual inflation in the US has reached 5.4%, the highest increase since the 2008 financial crisis.
Consumer prices rose 0.4% in September, even more than in August. Groceries, gasoline — which reached its highest average price in years — heating fuel, rent, furniture, and new cars were the most affected.
Labor shortages at major ports have also caused supply chain disruptions and empty shelves at stores across the US. Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors... over a million migrants colonists have crossed the US border illegally since Biden’s inauguration; while a small number were deported, most were released into the country and allowed to claim asylum.
Biden called the US exit from Afghanistan an "extraordinary success," even though the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... took over the country weeks before the last American troops were able to withdraw. Millions of dollars’ worth of weapons and equipment given to the Afghan Army also ended up in Taliban hands.
While over 100,000 Afghans were airlifted out of Kabul, some — including the very interpreter that helped rescue Biden when he visited the country as a senator — were left behind to be saved by private charities.

[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] A day after promoting a party-switching former Republican who is running for Oklahoma as a Democrat, on Tuesday, CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... 's New Day devoted a segment to a pair of disaffected Republicans who are encouraging members of their party to vote Democratic and keep Democrats in control of Congress.Picking up on a piece in the New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... by former New Jersey Governor Christine "Snaggletoofs" Todd Whitman and former Homeland Security Department official Miles Taylor, CNN host Brianna Keilar spoke with them live about their lobbying against their own party. She set up the segment:
Two longtime GOP critics of former President Trump offering some surprising advice for fellow Republicans who refuse to embrace Trump's chokehold on the party and his lies about the election. In a New York Times opinion essay, they write, "Rational Republicans are losing the party's civil war, and the only near-term way to battle pro-Trump forces of Evil is for all of us to team up on key races and overarching political goals with our longtime political opponents, the Democrats."
After Keilar began by asking Whitman how she made the decision to take such action, the liberal former governor repeated tired claims that the Republican Party has no clearly identified agenda, in spite of all the issues that were acted on the past four years:
Because I believe in the Constitution, and it's time that our elected officials remember they took an oath to that, not to a party. And what I have seen is that unfortunately Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... has created what I would call a -- it's just a cult. There isn't a party anymore. If you don't have a core set of values, if you don't have a platform -- which they didn't adopt at the last convention because he didn't want them to -- the only thing you stand for is whatever he tells you on a particular day and that is not my definition of a political party.
