Christian baker vindicated by SCOTUS back in court for not baking a gender transitioning cake - Washington Times
Christian baker vindicated by SCOTUS back in court for not baking a gender transitioning cake - Washington Times:
Sen. Ben Sasse, Nebraska Republican, said Colorado is headed down a troubling path.
“A state powerful enough to tell bakers what to bake is powerful enough to tell journalists what stories to write. This is not healthy for the country,” he said.
Kristen Waggoner, a lawyer for the religious liberty law firm Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing Mr. Phillips, said there is little question that the state has it in for Mr. Phillips.

Australian farmers body says Roundup cancer ruling is 'in blatant ignorance' of science | Environment | The Guardian
Australian farmers body says Roundup cancer ruling is 'in blatant ignorance' of science | Environment | The Guardian:
"National Farmers’ Federation says US court ruling that weedkiller causes cancer sets a ‘reckless precedent’
Australia’s National Farmers’ Federation has rejected the finding of a US court that the weedkiller Roundup causes cancer, saying it set a “reckless precedent” that could harm agriculture.
On Monday, Greenpeace urged the Australian government to start restricting the sale of Roundup – which is widely available in supermarkets and hardware stores – after a Californian court found it caused the cancer of a terminally ill man.
...The active chemical in Roundup – glyphosate – has been classified as “probably carcinogenic” by the World Health Organisation but is still approved for use in Australia and the US.
On Tuesday, the NFF said the US court decision was “in blatant ignorance” of science.
“No other herbicide has been tested to the lengths that glyphosate has,” the NFF president, Fiona Simson, said.
“After four decades of evaluations, no regulatory agency in the world considers glyphosate to be carcinogenic.”...

How Google breaks the law every micro-second
How Google breaks the law every micro-second:
What most people don’t understand is that Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter don’t have the right you and I and most corporations have to take sides in the political debate – at least not in the work they do online. They gave that right away when they accepted immunization from legal liability, under the Communications Decency Act, from activities conducted on their platforms. For instance, they can’t be sued or prosecuted for defamation, libel, or indeed for any criminal activity that takes place in their online domains. They got those privileges by agreeing to serve as mere “carriers” of data – in other words, as utilities, like the old phone company. Therefore they can’t be held responsible for conversations, postings, or other online materials that involve illegal or otherwise dubious actors.
However, they also accepted another responsibility in order to qualify for that special protected status.

Trump revokes Brennan security clearance
Trump revokes Brennan security clearance:
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., had been among those pushing the president to cancel Brennan’s clearance.
“Is John Brennan monetizing his security clearance? Is John Brennan making millions of dollars divulging secrets to the mainstream media with his attacks on @realDonaldTrump,” Paul had tweeted.
Brennan now gets paid as an analyst for NBC and MSNBC.
The senator earlier raised questions about Brennan’s security clearance
At the time, Paul said, “If he has top-secret clearance as unhinged as he is now, he’s calling the president treasonous, saying he is for the death penalty of the president, this is alarming.”

Liberal Judges Support Terror - The Schpiel
Liberal Judges Support Terror - The Schpiel:
"While it is a well-known fact that former usurper-in-chief Barack Obama propped up ISIS by giving them aid and weapons, it is still considered a “conspiracy theory” to suggest that Democrats are in bed with the avowed enemies of America.
But yesterday’s incomprehensible judicial decision in New Mexico shows that – like with most conspiracy theories, it seems – what was once unthinkable is now becoming the undeniable reality.
Judge Sarah Backus, an elected Democrat, let two men and three women who were charged with training children to conduct school shootings at a disgusting, fetid compound back onto the streets of New Mexico.
Police raided the compound last week and found 11 children who were being neglected and apparently trained to conduct school shootings.
The Judge did not seem to care very much, and the Muslim individuals walked without even paying a dime.
...Whether this judge is either a useful idiot for radical Islam or a knowing witting collaborator with these enemies of America, it does not matter.
She needs to be replaced with a strong conservative rule of law justice during the next election."

"Starting Oct. 1, 6 percent sales tax will be applied to all companies with no physical location in Michigan
State estimates internet sales tax will net $203 million in first fiscal year
To allow funds to go just to roads, Legislature would have to change sales tax formula
Bloomberg-The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that states can collect taxes from internet sales, including on purchases made through online retailer Amazon.com Inc.

PRAGER: Pope Francis Rewrites Catholicism ... And The Bible | Daily Wire:
Last week, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had changed the Catholic catechism. After 2,000 years of teaching that a moral use of capital punishment for murder is consistent with Catholic teaching, the pope announced that the catechism, the church fathers and St. Thomas Aquinas, among the other great Catholic theologians, were all wrong.
And God and the Bible? They're wrong, too.

NM Tragedy: Could the FBI Have Saved the Boy? | Clarion Project
"The New Mexico authorities have announced heart-breaking news:
The remains of a boy have been found at the Islamist compound that was raided on Friday.
It is almost certainly the body of disabled toddler Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, who has been missing for nine months after being abducted by his father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, and brought to the compound with 11 other malnourished children.
The day the remains were found would have been his fourth birthday.
The pain one experiences from reading the story is increased exponentially by a reality that is difficult to accept:
The boy might have been saved if the FBI had acted, instead of stalling until the New Mexico police finally went in on their own.
Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj went missing on December 1, 2017, abducted by his father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj.
The boy’s mother, Hakeemah Ramzi, went to the police..."
