Army chaplain narrowly evades reprimand for his religious beliefs

Army officials had threatened Calvert with a reprimand after they became aware of comments he made that reflected his religious beliefs and thoughts on President Joe Biden’s decision to drop former President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military.

“How is rejecting reality (biology) not evidence that a person is mentally unfit (ill), and thus making that person unqualified to serve,” Calvert wrote in a Facebook comment in January. “There is little difference in this than over those who believe and argue for a ‘flat earth,’ despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”

Florida Bill Banning Vaccine Passports Contains Hidden Clause Allowing for MASS FORCED VACCINATIONS

Florida Senate Bill 2006, passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 3rd of this year, famously banned vaccine passports statewide in a much-touted triumph of the state government over its own power.

According to a press release from the governor’s office, DeSantis is quoted as saying on the day of the bill signing in St. Petersburg: “In Florida, your personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based on your decision.”

But is that really true?

LAWTON: Opposition to the Trudeau Liberals is an illusion

The Liberal government’s internet regulation bill, C-10, has gone through a convoluted path.

First, user-generated social media content was exempt.

Then, that exemption was stripped away during a heritage committee meeting.

Then, Minister Steven Guilbeault said the exemption wasn’t necessary (ignoring the inconvenient fact that he had presented it as essential when it was first put in the bill.)

Then, Guilbeault changed his mind – again – and promised to exempt content Canadians post to social media from regulatory oversight by the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission after all.

Confused yet?

Nolte: ‘Out of Control’ Shoplifting in Democrat-Run San Francisco Closes 17 Walgreens

By a margin of 60 to 40 percent, the idiots of California basically legalized shoplifting. Proposition 47, which passed in 2014, no longer made it a felony to steal if the value of what you steal doesn’t exceed $950. It’s also no longer a felony to receive stolen property valued at less than $950. And so…

Instead of being punished as a felon, you are hit with a misdemeanor, and in many cases not even that.

Think Regulating User Generated Content in Bill C-10 Is Just an Inadvertent Mistake? Think Again

Over the past week, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has repeatedly been told that Canadian cultural groups are among the strongest supporters of freedom of expression and would never think of supporting legislation that undermines that foundational democratic principle. Yet the reality is that some of the same cultural groups that now downplay the impact of Bill C-10 on expression, lobbied the government to remove all user generated content safeguards. In other words, rather than support freedom of expression for all Canadians, some envisioned using the Broadcast Act to regulate both users and user generated content.

Biden’s proposed ban on menthol cigarettes would HURT black communities because it would lead to more policing and prison sentences, ACLU and civil rights groups warn

The American Civil Liberties Union and a number of other civil rights group warned that President Joe Biden’s move to ban menthol cigarettes could actually harm communities of color.

‘A menthol cigarette ban would disproportionately impact communities of color, result in criminalization of the market, and exacerbate mass incarceration,’ a letter sent this week to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra warned.

With an amendment to the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, the province will be able to move hospital patients to long-term care homes or retirements homes, provided their doctor agrees their medical needs can be met in that setting, without the patient’s consent or the consent of their substitute decision maker.
