FTA: ' "Every federal agency has a responsibility to provide justice to communities who have been overburdened by exposure to toxic pollution," Padilla said. Presumably, that means the FIB, NSA HHS, CIA, DEP, DOE, ICE, etc will all have to start conducting their 'deep-stated-ness' with regard to color. Those 50, 000,000 dollar grants will go a long way to enforcing it.

The Article includes: "According to a summary of the bill, DOJ’s new, expanded environmental justice office would be tasked with initiating legal action to enforce environmental laws that "impact environmental justice and civil rights," and enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to investigate "civil rights complaints related to environmental justice.' " And: "Barragán’s bill was introduced in the House with 20 Democrats, and the same bill was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif. "Every federal agency has a responsibility to provide justice to communities who have been overburdened by exposure to toxic pollution," Padilla said." Note: "EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY" and Padilla's suggestion that the only exposure is to toxic pollution. The intent of this proposed bill appears to be the greatest expansion of the so-called "Administrative State" in the history of the Congress. The bill would be toxic pollution to our economy.

Nothing the DOJ pursues should be outside of public law, defined and described in the U.S. Code. Where are the laws on the books regarding environmental justice? The administration cannot unilaterally invent public law. A new Congress in January 2023 can write law forbidding the application of environmental justice.

Former President George W. Bush will hit the campaign trail to stump for Colorado senatorial hopeful Joe O’Dea who has come out against another former president, Donald J. Trump, and has gone on record as saying he would not support him for the 2024 GOP nomination. According to a report from NBC News, the nation’s 43rd president will appear at a fundraiser for O’Dea this month as the Rocky Mountain state Republican seeks to unseat Democrat incumbent Michael Bennet in next month’s election. NBC’s Bridget Bowman served up the scoop that “Former President George W. Bush is making a rare appearance on the campaign trail, participating in a fundraiser

It’s just kindly old grandpa Joe who loves you and doesn’t have mean tweets and oh wait he’s an egomaniac who thinks he’s your god-king. A hot mic caught Joe Biden on Wednesday telling Fort Myers Beach mayor Ray Murphy the same thing he probably said to CornPop 60 years ago. He did a lot of things during his Florida visit! But perhaps the Biden comment that sparked the most response was this one where he is talking to Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy.

White people were told to engage in a racial shaming exercise to remind them of their privilege by Wisconsin Democrat Governor Tony Evers’ Department of Public Instruction (DPI) when he was its superintendent. A document promoted by the Department of Public Instruction, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, suggested white people “wear a white wristband as a reminder about your privilege.” Democrat Governor Tony Evers, who is up for reelection, was the Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction from 2009 to 2019. During his time as Superintendent, the department worked alongside Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA).

Since the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, Illinois has become an oasis to prevent future women, people of color, LGBTQIA?’s and all of God’s other children from entering this world, but why stop there? In an effort to combat states whose laws seek to protect innocent unborn lives, Planned Parenthood, America’s top baby slaughtering outfit is going mobile. On Monday Planned Parenthood announced a new effort to make baby killing even easier for those from neighboring states where abortion has rightfully become illegal, in their brand new retrofitted 37 foot RV.

On Sunday, Dr. Stephanie Cooper shared on her Twitter followers that she was surprised when one of her patients declined to receive a blood transfusion if the donor had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Dr. Stephanie Cooper is a Calgary-trained Obstetrician-Gynecologist and Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist with Alberta Health Services. “So- this was a first for me. A patient declined blood transfusion if the donor had received a covid vaccination,” she wrote. Another doctor replied and expressed the same sentiment, “Sadly, we’ve had a couple of patients here with the same beliefs.” [Tweet]

You could see this one coming a mile away, and many of us did. When the Supreme Court declared that there is no rational reason to deny the right of two people of the same sex to marry–love is love!–it eliminated the teleological foundation of marriage and the family. If marriage is no longer grounded in the biology of reproduction–it takes two, a man and a woman, to make a child–then the number two is likewise irrational. If George and Ken can be in love, and therefore entitled to marry, then why can’t George, Ken and Susan? The inevitable has happened, as a court in New York

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is buying $290 million worth of drugs as part of its “long-standing, ongoing efforts to be better prepared to save lives following radiological and nuclear emergencies.” HHS is purchasing a supply of the drug Nplate from Amgen USA, a biotechnology headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California. The $290 million purchase was announced on Oct. 4 by the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), an agency within the HHS that’s tasked with preparing the nation for future disasters and public health emergencies. Nplate is the trade name of romiplostim, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2021 to treat

It’s no big secret that Big Tech’s tentacles have a vast reach, with platforms like Facebook and Twitter admitting in so many words after the fact to deliberately suppressing news content prior to the 2020 presidential election that portrayed then-Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden and his international wheelin’ and dealin’ son Hunter in a less than flattering light being one of the more notable examples. But as has already been made clear by online payment systems like PayPal and Venmo, even more silencing of alternative points of view is needed in the form of financial strangulation

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Thursday signed off on a plan to strip any mention of the Confederacy from U.S. military bases, including renaming the Army’s legendary Fort Bragg and Fort Hood, signing off on a process that critics said was a prime example of “woke” attitudes in President Biden’s Pentagon. Mr. Austin, whose endorsement of the plan was widely expected, said the changes would be implemented “as soon as possible.” The report that recommends the stripping of all references to Confederate figures arrived at Mr. Austin’s desk 18 months after Congress mandated a Naming Commission to review the issue.

Aretha Franklin was tracked by the FBI for 40 years as the agency repeatedly sought — but ultimately failed — to tie the Queen of Soul to “extremists” and “radicals,” newly declassified documents reveal. The 270-page FBI file — obtained by Rolling Stone magazine — details how the feds spied on the “Respect” songstress through “false phone calls, surveillance, infiltration and highly-placed sources” from 1967 to 2007.

Federal investigators believe they have gathered enough evidence to charge President Joe Biden’s son Hunter “with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase,” according to a bombshell new report from the Washington Post. Federal investigators associated with the FBI and IRS determined months ago that they had sufficient evidence to indict the younger Biden but it is now up to the U.S. attorney in Delaware, who was appointed by former president Trump, to determine whether to charge him. Chris Clark, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, responded to an inquiry from the Post with a written statement accusing investigators of misconduct.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly charged 11 pro-life advocates with federal charges related to a 2021 protest at a Tennessee abortion clinic. In a press release announcing the charges on Wednesday, the Department of Justice said that the 11 individuals violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during a 2021 protest in which they “engaged in a conspiracy to prevent” a Nashville-area abortion clinic “from providing, and patients from receiving, reproductive health services.” Their names: Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Calvin Zastrow, Coleman Boyd, Caroline Davis, Paul Vaughn, Dennis Green, Eva Edl, Eva Zastrow, James Zastrow, and Paul Place.
