April 02, 2023 by: Mike Adams Any time the government promises to make you “safer,” beware of their intentions. The media-amplified hysteria over TikTok — a video social media platform built and run by communist China — has handed the power opportunists in Washington D.C. a cover story to try to control all online speech through the introduction of the S. 686 RESTRICT Act, sponsored by an anti-free speech zealot on the Left, Sen. Mark Warner. The bill, introduced on March 7th, 2023, uses TikTok’s popularity as an excuse to criminalize American-run websites, platforms and blogs that merely disagree with the government regime on literally any topic: Vaccines, Russia, elections, bank runs, currency, transgenderism, climate change and so on. The weaponization potential of the bill is unlimited, as it can be applied to anything merely deemed to be in the “national security interest” of the United States. The bill text explicitly states that the government may enforce, “any mitigation measure” against “any person” or “any property” by merely deciding that an article, video, podcast, platform or other content item contains content they don’t like. This is not a law that targets Chinese communists or TikTok… it’s a law targeting Americans and threatening them with prison time if they say anything the current regime in power doesn’t like. Under the proposed law, any content that the regime decides poses an undue risk to, “the safety of United States persons” can be removed by any means necessary, including domain seizures by the DHS or other forms of sabotage (i.e. “mitigation”) which might include the government fire bombing data centers or assassinating Americans. To annihilate all Christian content on the web, the Biden regime can simply declare that Bible scripture compromises the “safety” of the trans community and therefore must be removed by any means necessary. We could literally see the US government burning down churches to destroy web hosting data centers that are held there. (The US government has been running sabotage operations against food and energy infrastructure for at least the last two years, so this isn’t a stretch at all.)

(Worthy News) – A
group of eight House Republicans have introduced legislation to end a federal mandate
requiring foreign air travelers to be vaccinated against COVID-19
before entering the United
States. House bill HR 185 was filed by
Representative Thomas Massie and seven GOP
co-sponsors on January 9.
While COVID-19 vaccination requirements have been dropped in much of the
world, America’s Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ordered on April 7, 2022, that foreign
travelers entering the US
must be vaccinated. “The CDC order prohibits international travelers from
entering the country unless they first show proof of COVID-19 vaccination,” a
press release on Massie’s website reads.
Under the terms of HR 185, no federal funds may be used to “administer,
implement, or enforce the air travel vaccination requirement for foreign
travelers.”
In a statement explaining the need for the bill, Massie said: “If you
watched C-SPAN last week, you saw 434 Members of Congress gathered in the
Capitol screaming, yelling, cheering, and speaking. Many of these members are
unvaccinated, and many haven’t taken boosters.”
“So, why do we subject visitors who want to see their families to this COVID-19 double standard? The CDC’s unscientific mandate is separating too many people from their families and has been doing so for far too long. It needs to end,” Massie said.
Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) has introduced a bill that seeks to criminalize and prosecute any
“white supremacist inspired hate crimes.”
Texas bill
H.R. 61 says it is “to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate
crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend
title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.”
The bill’s short title is the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of
2023.”
The bill states that a person is engaging in white supremacist-inspired hate
crimes when white supremacist ideology is involved in the planning or is a
precursor to the act itself. This is where the bill seeks to criminalize hate
speech and social media posts pertaining to “vilifying” non-white
people or groups.
“A conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime shall be
determined to exist—” the text reads, “(2) between two or more
persons,” when “at least one of whom published material advancing
white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement
theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any
non-White person or group, and such published material” the bill explains.
The text also says that a person who publishes content that could be viewed
by a person who is “predisposed” to committing hate crimes could also
be committing conspiracy.
The bill defines this as material “published on a social media platform
or by other means of publication with the likelihood that it would be viewed by
persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white
supremacy inspired hate crime, or who are susceptible to being encouraged to
engage in actions in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate
crime.”
The Department of Justice would also be directed to maintain a database of
“white supremacy inspired hate crimes and related actions.”
“Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have
been increasing in frequency and intensity. These heinous and virulent crimes
are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry, and mythical falsehoods
such as ‘replacement theory’. All instances must be prevented and severe
criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators.”https://www.theblaze.com/news/sheilajacksonlee-antiwhitesupremacy-bill

The first thing to remember about the reconciliation bill Sens. Joe Manchin
and Chuck Schumer agreed to Wednesday is that, despite its utterly preposterous
name, it has absolutely zero to do with inflation. The Inflation Reduction Act
of 2022 is crammed with the very same spending, corporate welfare, price fixing
and tax hikes that were part of Build Back Better – long-desired progressive
wish-list agenda items. Pumping hundreds of billions into the economy will do
nothing to alleviate inflation. The opposite.
Let’s also remember the Democrats’ deflection on inflation last year –
claiming it was “transitory” and “no serious economist” is
“suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way,” and so on – was
all part of a concerted political effort to ignore the problem long enough to
cram through a $5.5 trillion iteration of their agenda. And when inflation
suddenly became non-transitory, and politically problematic, the Biden
administration argued that more spending would relieve inflation. They don’t
care about the economy, as long as dependency is being expanded. Cont’d
US Senate Passes $280
Billion Bill To Counter China

US Senate Passes $280 Billion Bill To Counter China
It passed 64 to 33, with 17 Republicans voting in support of the bill,
officially known as the “CHIPS and Science Act.”
Under the law, which was years in the making, the final iteration of a bill
that was years in the making, some $52 billion would go to microchip
manufacturers.
Lawmakers said they want to incentivize the construction of domestic
semiconductor fabrication plants — or “fabs” — to make the chips. Cont’d
The Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection
Reauthorization Act passed in a 401-20 vote and just ahead of World Day Against
Trafficking in Persons Day on July 30.
HR 6552 was authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Rep.
Karen Bass (D-CA).
“Human traffickers never take a holiday, nor can we,” said Smith. “Because traffickers and the nefarious
networks they lead always find new ways to exploit the vulnerable, especially
women and children, we must aggressively strengthen laws and their
implementation.”
Smith has attended over 35 hearings and written five anti-trafficking laws
including the Nation’s historic Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.

House-Passed Defense Bill Mentions ‘Gender’ 29 Times, Establishes a ‘Gender
Advisor Workforce’
July 21, 2022
The word “gender” is mentioned 29 times in the House-passed version of the
Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which also formally
establishes a full-time, funded, stationed, and resourced “Gender Advisor
Workforce.”
H.R. 7900, which easily passed
the House by a margin of more than three-to-one (329-101), ensures
all-gender coverage of artificial reproductive services, examines differences
in recruitment and home ownership by gender – and even conducts gender-based
services to foreign military and counts the number of people evacuated from
Afghanistan by gender:
Gender Advisor
Workforce: Develop and manage a Gender Advisor Workforce
throughout the Department of Defense. Cont’d
To authorize appropriations
for fiscal year 2022 for military activities of the Department of Defense and
for military construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such
fiscal year, and for other purposes.
The bill’s titles are written by its
sponsor.
The federal budget process occurs in two stages:
appropriations and authorizations. This is an authorization bill, which directs
how federal funds should or should not be used. (It does not set overall
spending limits, however, which are the subject of appropriations bills.)
Authorizations are typically made for single fiscal years (October 1 through
September 30 of the next year) but are often renewed in subsequent law.

congressional district. Democrat.
