Question: Native Americans believed no one “owned the land”. How can our ancestors have stolen something that they didn’t own in the first place? :coffee: :coffee:
I never said they stole it, dumbAZ. They just killed the original inhabitants and moved in. Like Russia is doing in Ukraine. :coffee:

Groomer party is losing on this issue..


Groomer party loses on virtually EVERY issue, except with a little sliver of voters who care deeply about that singular issue. Their only hope is that aaaaaallllll those little single-issue slivers come out to vote donk, otherwise they’re toast in ‘22.
Both parties are groomer parties.

​A federal judge in Tennessee temporarily blocked the Biden administration from enforcing directives that would allow transgender students and workers to use bathrooms and locker rooms and play for sports teams that correspond to their gender identity.

Judge Charles Atchley Jr. of the Eastern District of Tennessee ruled in favor of 20 Republican state attorney generals who sued last August, arguing that the federal directives would make it impossible for states to enforce their own rules about transgender athletes participating in girls’ sports or accessing bathrooms.

Atchley issued the temporary injunction until the matter can be resolved in the courts.....

Republican state officials are readying plans to punish woke banks which push anti-fossil fuel policies and adhere to so-called environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.

West Virginia announced last week it would bar five major financial institutions, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, from entering into banking contracts with the state treasurer's office or any state agency. Each of the five corporations had committed to policies limiting commercial engagement with the fossil fuel industry which paid a whopping $769 million in taxes to West Virginia's state government...

...Moore's action, a first-of-its-kind response to major banks' ESG push, is likely to be the first of many similar actions nationwide. At least 15 Republican-led states, which collectively manage tens of billions of dollars in public funds, have proposed laws or policies that would similarly punish anti-fossil fuel banks over the last year, according to a FOX Business analysis....

...A dozen state financial officers contacted by FOX Business applauded West Virginia's restriction of banks and confirmed they were crafting their own response to "woke banks."

"The agency is continuing to work through the information we have received back from the companies we contacted for more information as well as finalizing our process for identifying suitable candidates for the Texas list," a spokesperson for Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said in an email.

Hegar is assembling a list like West Virginia's in accordance with a bill the Texas legislature passed last year. As part of the effort, Hegar sent letters to 19 financial institutions in March asking for clarification on their fossil fuel investment policies.

In addition to Texas, state financial officers in Kentucky, Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, Louisiana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas and North Dakota said they would take or consider action against banks that boycott energy companies. Kentucky and Oklahoma, like Texas, are compiling lists as required by recently-passed state laws.....

Good. Wokeness is a disease, and it must be treated as such.

in the race to be the most corrupt and taxpayer unfriendly state, Illinois is trying to take the lead from California with a ballot measure being pushed by the public unions.
When it comes to the most powerful government unions in the country, gone is a strong focus on pay and benefits. It has been replaced by political advocacy. As their membership numbers dwindle, government union bosses are attempting to make one last desperate power grab.
An innocuous-sounding referendum on Illinois’s November ballot, Amendment 1, would place four labor provisions into the Illinois constitution: a “fundamental right” to organize and bargain; the right to bargain over wages, hours, working conditions, economic welfare, and safety at work; a prohibition against lawmakers ever interfering with, negating, or diminishing those rights; and a prohibition of right-to-work laws.
Under Amendment 1, lawmakers would not be able to restrict what unions can negotiate or limit when they can go on strike. They would be unable to repeal a little-known Illinois provision that allows many union contracts to override conflicting state and local laws and regulations. Unions would be able to rewrite law through their contracts, leaving residents with no recourse and no way to hold anyone accountable

Public unions have lost over 38,000 members since the SCOTUS Janus ruling…this is one of their efforts to hang onto power

Indeed although I’m not sure unions are a threat to achieving absolute power in the US.

It also applies both ways…

I think it is and it is similar to what Texas, Florida, etc. did in not allowing local school boards or governments to make their own decisions about mask mandates. I could quote some conk comments supporting Texas and Florida in the COVID thread to defend what Illinois is doing but I think both are examples of government overreach.
