  1. (This news via Mark Crispin Miller) The future in blue states just took on a whole new ugly, Nazi-like hue. Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds that jabs can be mandated.

    “Finally, on the constitutional question, we hold that a local health officer’s authority to issue enforceable public health orders pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 252.03 and Dane County Ordinance § 46.40 does not run afoul of our constitutional separation of powers.”

    1. Time for Wisconsin citizens to start escrowing their taxxes….No way under the Constitution that a state can mandate you allow your genes to be changed against your will and be poisoned as well.

      1. Wow, that is shocking and then…upon further contemplation, a state that allows child support arrears to be an automatic felony is a fascist state. Our founding fathers were unequivocally against debtors prisons and in Wisconsin, if you are late on your child support payments, its the equivalent to committing a felony. One poor soul found that out the hard way when he went to purchase a firearm, a felon cannot own firearms, he had no idea he was a felon since he never committed a crime. Boy did he learn what kind of state he was living in.

    1. the evidence given is so weak － an anonymous internet post and a typical comment made coincidentally by foreign ministry. the CCP did not arrange the assasination of abe,

      if the CCP has the ability to infiltrate world govts and manipulate elections worldwide, how could they miscalculate the effect the assasination would have so badly? this act has moved taiwan and japan closer, not apart.

      dont waste your time on this theory.

      China cries foul over Taiwan VP’s historic visit to Japan for Abe funeral
      Beijing issues ‘stern representations’ over ‘non-existent’ Taiwan vice president’s visit to Japan

      TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — China’s foreign ministry on Tuesday (July 12) said that it issued “stern representations” to Japan’s government after Taiwan Vice President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) attended the funeral of former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, marking the highest-level visit by a Taiwanese official to the country in nearly 50 years.

      On Monday morning (July 11), Lai arrived in Japan as a special envoy of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文). Lai was then accompanied by Taiwan’s representative to Japan Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) on a visit to Abe’s residence in Tokyo.

      Lai later went to a private wake that was attended by family members, foreign dignitaries, and close acquaintances of the late leader at the Zojoji Temple. Lai’s visit was highly significant as he was the highest-level government official from Taiwan to visit Japan since Tokyo cut diplomatic ties with Taipei in September 1972.

  4. Dutch Senate vote still required.

    “Dutch parliament passes law that allows the government to require people to house refugees, as in: requires people to provide refugees with room(s) in their own home & feed them If need be, the government may also relocate people—evict them from their own homes—to house refugees.”

  5. Hi Catherine,
    Re your support for small businesses, I have something to share.
    I worked for a few years in the Civil Service as an Engineer. My Section dealt with small projects such as refitting lights, power outlets, and related services to government offices. Initially we dealt with individual electrical contractors, sometimes father and son, sometimes up to 100 employees.
    We had order books and wrote individual orders, usually with drawings and a specification, sometimes not.
    The first sign of changes was in the press. An “international” company was promising the sun, moon and stars by way of “integrated contracts”.
    We had to change, allegedly because that was what our clients wanted.
    Two or three years later, most of the small contractors had gone, save those that did work for building and repair contractors.
    It’s swings and roundabouts on the standard of work, because governments work largely sets the standards and checks the quality, and most of that went when the changes came in.
    Is it better? Hard to say, because much has changed, but it is a lot tougher to grow a small business. There’s a lot of predation.

    1. Totally agree. The surveillance and digital systems are a way of stealing and aggregating all intellectual capital. Use them with care.

  6. This needs repeating daily…

  7. Over a quarter of a million disabled in June!

    Via Ed Dowd gettr:

    The June disability number came in at 290k…any guesses on July number? This vaccine is an unmitigated disaster and the magnitude continues to boggle even my jaded cynical mind. –Ed Dowd
