Josh Shapiro Eyes New Powers That Make COVID Restrictions Look Like A Warning Shot

“We’ve already seen how this kind of authority can be abused, and we cannot allow the mistakes of the past to be repeated." - Megan Brock
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is pushing to radically rewrite his state’s health code to give his administration authoritarian police powers as he seeks re-election.
The Democrat’s proposed change would give Pennsylvania’s Department of Health centralized police powers under the guise of “disease control measures,” including
  • the ability to enter homes and schools without a warrant, 
  • access confidential medical records, and 
  • impose statewide school mask mandates for disease prevention. 
The Department of Health reports to the governor’s office, meaning this change would give Shapiro — and his successors — the ability to single-handedly implement draconian policies across the state...

The Cyclospora Panic of 2026 - American Thinker

Our federal government is now so powerful that it can bankrupt or shut down a commodity, an industry, or a class of restaurant with a single decree. - John F. Di Leo 
If the government discovered a new risk that you could catch an illness -- like a really bad stomach flu -- from eating something, would you want the government to warn you?
  • Now, what if they didn’t know which one thing was spreading this illness, but it could be any of a number of different fruits and vegetables? Still want that vague warning?
  • Now, what if this illness is always present, with a few thousand cases every year, but this year, the spread just might be worse than usual? So, the difference this year is really just a matter of degree. Still want them to tell you?...
But have we thought through the impact -- in personal behavior, in economics, in the business community -- of even the relatively moderate notices that our government is empowered to produce?...

HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH CANADA

In summary, Mark Carney is a puppet of China - Ben Hart
Carney had agreed to the terms of the trade deal, then backed out at the last minute. 
The trade deal included:
  • Auto tariffs as low as 7%
  • Lower steel and aluminum tariffs
  • Elimination of the 10% lumber tariff
THE STICKING POINT:
Trump does not want Chinese steel being routed through Canada and coming into the U.S. without paying tariffs.
  • The U.S. requires a strict “melt and pour” rule.
  • Steel must be melted and poured in North America to evade tariffs.
This stops Chinese steel from entering Canada, getting light processing, and crossing the border as “North American” content to evade tariffs...

Chelsea Clinton put a price tag on abortion | Blaze Media

Chelsea Clinton put a price tag on abortion | Blaze Media

The punishment for rejecting what is good is eventually losing the ability to recognize the evil of one’s own reasoning.

The frightening thing about a darkened mind is not that it wakes every morning plotting evil while twirling a theatrical mustache. It is that evil begins to look reasonable. Categories become inverted. Killing becomes health care, and economic productivity becomes part of the case for it.

An argument that should horrify us begins to sound like respectable public policy.

Near as bad in American public schools!

 


Big-Pharma/Biden'sBrain destroyed American's confidence in all vaxs!-----Forcing a vaccine, or any medical intervention, on another human being is a violation of the fundamental right to bodily autonomy.

And when people say, “No one is forcing you”:  - Children’s Health Defense@ChildrensHD
If a child 
  • cannot attend school without complying, 
  • cannot go to summer camp, 
  • cannot participate in sports, or is 
  • excluded from ordinary life because their parents declined a medical intervention, 
that is not meaningful consent. 
It is coercion...


Apparently, not for Abdul!-----Accountability and strong law enforcement are not opposites.

Crime is not exclusive to poverty and stronger law enforcement deters criminals and keeps American families safe. - Secure America Now


Socialists WANT to Abolish Prisons, but BUILD “Reeducation Camps”

Facebook - Laura Ingraham@KelseyGrammer : 
  • “They want to do away with prisons, but they want to establish what they call reeducation camps.”
  • “You get to go to camp, and you either just disappear there, die there… just for having a different opinion.”

Do I Believe in Global Warming? - Watts Up With That?

A very strange question. Scientists rarely, if ever, use the term believe. - From the Cliff Mass Weather Blog
We never use the term ” believe ” when we apply Newton’s laws of dynamics, the first law of thermodynamics, or any of the basic principles of atmospheric physics. 
  • I have attended hundreds of scientific meetings and not once did a scientist use the term belief in describing human-caused global warming.
  • Science is not religion…at least it shouldn’t be. 
Conclusions should be based on accepted scientific principles and data, not beliefs.
It appears that global warming has become like a religion to some people, replacing more traditional beliefs. 
Apparently, a way to fill their lives with meaning and purpose...

Michigan Democrat Jocelyn Benson Runs Away from Her Work with the Southern Poverty Law Center

Michigan Democrat Jocelyn Benson Runs Away from Her Work with the Southern Poverty Law Center

Michigan Democrat nominee for Governor Jocelyn Benson is running away from her work with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in her campaign to become the state’s chief executive.

The press has officially entered the “Trump did something again, and we hate that people are enjoying it” phase of its coverage.

You know the routine by now. - And We Know 
  • Trump cleans up a park, and the headline screams DICTATOR.
  • Trump brings a factory back to an American town, and the chyron reads DANGER TO DEMOCRACY.
  • Trump puts on an event that regular people line up to see, and the Sunday panel calls it a THREAT TO THE REPUBLIC.
This weekend gave us the latest example. 
  • IndyCars tore around the National Mall at close to 180 miles an hour...
That is what is eating them alive...
