I’m not sure what they’re mad about, since Democrats cannot even tell what is and isn’t a woman anymore. I wonder if they will protest by having the men wear skirts one day?
Missouri House tightens women’s dress code, requiring covering of arms
The Missouri’s House of Representatives kicked off its new session by tightening its dress code and requiring female lawmakers to cover their arms and wear blazers while in the state’s capitol-much to the dismay and outrage of House Democrats.
Lawmakers met on Wednesday to debate changes to the House rules, as is customary at the start of a new General Assembly every two years. The existing dress code, which was last updated in 2021, states that women are required to wear a “dress or skirts or slacks worn with a blazer or sweater and appropriate dress shoes or boots.”
That is horrendous! It’s so sexist to require women to dress appropriately for the job! How dare those male Republicans trot this out!
Republican state Rep. Ann Kelley proposed an amendment that would require women to wear jackets, defined as both blazers and knit blazers, with dresses, skirts, or slacks, and dress shoes or boots. Kelley stated that the update is necessary because “it is essential to always maintain a formal and professional atmosphere.”
Oh, wait, it was a woman who proposed this. How dare she want a formal and professional atmosphere. Of course, Democrats freaked out in the House, and on Twitter, and probably on other social media I did not see.
The move was decried as sexist as the men’s dress code was left unchanged. Men also must adhere to a dress code in the Chambers with male lawmakers required to wear “business attire, including coat, tie, dress trousers, and dress shoes or boots.”
So, the men already had a dress code. Kelley should have changed her amendment so that women would be required wear the same as men, not just add that women can also wear cardigans.
“How is encouraging professionalism wrong?” Kelley added. “If there is ever a time to honor traditions and be professional it is on the House Chamber Floor in the Missouri House of Representatives; I will not apologize for standing up for these things.”
Well, Ann, this is Liberal World, and they will go full barking moonbat over everything.

Youth Climate Activism Needs Nurturing. Here Are 4 Ways to Make it Happen
The climate movement has reached a pivotal juncture. We have an array of constructed and natural climate solutions with proven potential to reduce greenhouse gases and foster climate resilience, from renewable energy and electric vehicles to reforestation and climate-smart agriculture. There is just one catch: To avoid the worst of climate change, we must deploy these solutions much faster than ever before, as made clear by the sixth report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Fortunately, we have a talented and relentless group of climate leaders ready to make this happen—young people.
Youth have shown the right kind of leadership qualities to get the climate movement from a jog to a sprint, and inspire more people and organizations to come on board. If we hope to create climate justice, we must fully empower this burgeoning youth climate movement by giving young leaders the funding, standing, and platform they need to maximize their contributions.
Well, the adults have already made the kiddies neurotic, destroyed their mental well being, with their tales of doom and gloom. Anyhow, what can be done?
Um, ah, yeah, no. No. Just no. But, hey, if the Warmists want to give the kiddies their own money, feel free. What really needs to be done is to stop pushing false propaganda garbage on the youts and tell them the truth there is no climate problem but there is a left-wing problem that wants to control every part of their life.
Here’s the big question: will the agencies whitewash this, cover it up, or tell the public the truth if it turns out there is a big link
CDC, FDA see possible link between Pfizer’s bivalent shot and strokes
The CDC and FDA announced on Friday that their surveillance system flagged a possible link between the new Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent Covid-19 vaccine and strokes in people aged 65 and over, but said they were continuing to recommend the shots.
The surveillance “raised a question of whether” stroke risk was elevated in the 21-day period post-vaccination versus 22 to 44 days post-vaccination, according to a statement on the CDC website.
The agencies said other data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Department of Veterans Affairs and other sources haven’t shown an elevated risk of stroke.
“Although the totality of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the signal … represents a true clinical risk, we believe it is important to share this information with the public, as we have in the past, when one of our safety monitoring systems detects a signal,” the statement said.
The real-time surveillance system, CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink, met criteria warranting further investigation into whether the bivalent Pfizer vaccine led to a higher risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when arteries pumping blood to the brain are blocked by a blood clot.
Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. How do we trust these agencies, especially the CDC, after all that has happened? All the BS information they’ve given us since COVID started? The obfuscation, the misdirection, authoritarian notion of forced vaccination? How much more are we going to find out about the vaccines?
Still, rare but serious side effects — which can occur with any pharmaceutical product — have arisen since the vaccines’ debut.
There is that. Think on all those commercials where they show people dancing and singing and having fun while half the commercial tells you about the side effects, up to and including death? Of course, they all went through clinical trials, and weren’t taken by hundreds of millions, often with the threat of losing their jobs.

Arguments over masks aren’t going away in 2023
On a recent evening, comedian Jimmy Fallon devoted a segment of his late night talk show to launch into one of his ready-made-for-social-media ditties, this one devoted to the new XBB.1.5 variant of the coronavirus. Rendered in the campy style of the B-52s, the joking song contained a line many public health officials would like to see elected officials make with deliberate seriousness.
“Put on your mask when inside a facility,” Fallon crooned.
Crooned while not wearing a mask. Nor do his guests wear masks.
Three years into the pandemic, the question of whether to mask or not to mask shows no signs of heading toward a resolution, especially during a winter season that has seen a so-called tripledemic sweep across the United States. States dropped their mask mandates long ago; last spring, a court struck down a mask mandate on airplanes, planes and other forms of transit. Today, masking is still required in some institutions, like hospitals and theaters.
If you want to wear a mask, wear one. Otherwise, piss off, and stop trying to force your nuttiness on the rest of us.

The hell?
(Fox News) Vice President Kamala Harris gave a series of familiar word salads and comments during her latest appearance in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Thursday. (snip)
“I love Venn diagrams. I do. I love Venn diagrams. So, the three circles — and you can do more! Nobody says a Venn diagram has to only be three circles, right?” Harris said Thursday. (snip)
“I’m excited about electric school buses. I LOVE electric school buses. I just love them! For so many reasons. Maybe because I went to school on a school bus. Hey, raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus!” Harris exclaimed while raising her hand.
“Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus, right? Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus? Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It’s part of our experience growing up,” Harris said.

So, what was it that the House GOP passed? Was it a national ban on abortion? Making it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion? What horrific, dastardly things did they pass?
Republican-controlled House pushes for new abortion restrictions
The Republican-led House on Wednesday pressed ahead with a pair of anti-abortion measures, despite warning signs that the issue had galvanized the opposition in the wake of the supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade last year.
They must be really bad, putting massive restrictions on a “woman’s right to choose”, on a “woman’s right to reproductive freedom” (though, the same abortion nuts do not seem to be able to define what is a woman anymore)
Voting mostly along party lines, Republicans first approved a bill that would compel doctors to provide care for an infant who survives an attempted abortion – an occurrence that is exceedingly rare.
After its passage, Republicans broke into applause on the House floor as the bill’s sponsor, congresswoman Ann Wagner, a Republican of Missouri, waved the text of the legislation in celebration.
Democrats, several of them wearing white in protest, remained silent. However, on the measure, two Texas Democrats broke with the party: the congressman Henry Cuellar, who opposes abortion, supported it while his colleague Vicente González voted present.
The House also passed a non-binding resolution condemning attacks on pregnancy crisis centers, with the support of all Republicans and three Democrats.
Wait, that’s it? This is what Democrats and abortion on demand supporters are upset about? Having to give a baby born alive medical care and condemning attacks on pregnancy centers? I’m not so sure that it would galvanize opposition from non-abortion nuts.
Anti-abortion groups have long pushed so-called “born alive” legislation similar to the version under consideration in the House, which could carry a prison sentence of up to five years for medical workers.
Critics, including medical professionals, say such measures are based on distortions and misinformation about what is often an extremely painful and often unwanted decision to end a pregnancy. Abortions after the point of viability, which is defined as about 23 weeks, are extremely uncommon, according to federal and state data. In the rare instances they do happen, they often involve serious fetal abnormalities or risks to the life of the mother.
If it’s so rare, why are Democrats so upset? If the baby is born alive, what risk is there to the life of the mother? The baby is out.
“The bill directly interferes with a doctor’s medical judgment and dictates a medical standard of care that may not be appropriate in all circumstances, which could, in fact, put infants’ lives at greater risk,” Nadler said.
The doctor’s judgement is to let the baby die? Isn’t that against their oath?

Los Federales may have given up on banning gas stoves (at least for the moment. You know they’ll try again), but, climahypocrite Hochul is working it
N.Y. Gov. Hochul proposes ban on new gas hookups, to fight climate change
In the same week that the Biden administration reversed course on whether a ban on the sale of new gas stoves is under consideration, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed banning fossil fuel infrastructure, including lines that power gas stoves and furnaces, in smaller new residential buildings by 2025 and in larger ones by 2028.
Hochul, a Democrat, also proposed the same requirement for commercial buildings beginning in 2030. The governor also wants to end sales of new oil or gas heating equipment — boilers, stoves, dryers and hot water heaters — in existing residential buildings by 2030 and by 2035 in existing commercial buildings.
“We know that the key to long-term sustainability — for our wallets and our planet — is weaning ourselves from fossil fuels,” Hochul said Tuesday in her state of the state speech. “We are taking these actions because climate change remains the greatest threat to our planet, and to our children and grandchildren.”
Last year, Washington state mandated the use of electric heat pumps in new homes and apartments, but, in recognition of the limitations of electric heat pumps in colder climates, fossil fuel burners will still be allowed to provide backup heat. The California Air Resources Board approved a plan last year to end the sale of fossil fuel appliances statewide, but the rules are still being drafted.
So, what of new construction in the norther parts of NY? Heck, most of NY. It does get pretty cold, So, what provides heating? Considering NY is banning natural gas power plants, doing away with coal and nuclear, where does this energy come from? What of those who use propane? Is that banned, as well? Funny how so much of the ‘climate change’ policy revolves around telling the peasants what they may or may not have.

A third batch of classified documents was found in Biden’s garage near his Corvette, and now
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced his decision Thursday to appoint a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden after classified documents from his time as vice president in Barack Obama’s administration were found in his possession.
“I concluded that under the special counsel regulations, it was in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said, noting that he made his decision on January 5th.
He announced that former U.S. attorney from Maryland Robert Hur, appointed by former president Donald Trump, to investigate Biden.
“Mr. Hurr has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor,” Garland said, adding that “I will ensure that Mr. Hur receives all the resources he needs to conduct his work.”
The Attorney General laid out the timeline for the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation, revealing that the investigation was well underway before it was first reported on Tuesday.
Garland recounted that he was first notified of Biden’s possession of classified documents on the evening of November 4, which were found by his lawyer in his office at the Penn-Biden center.
So, Garland knew about the current president having classified documents from his time as VP stored at the center, which he was not entitled to have and had no authority to have. And did….nothing. And, let’s be honest, this investigation will most likely turn into a white wash. It’s pro-forma meant to give cover to Biden. It will take months and months, with no leaks to the press, then the findings will be quietly released and everything will be fine.
2. The documents Trump had were protected in a location guarded by the secret service. Not so with Biden. One of the places where Biden kept classified documents was heavily subsidized by the Communist Chinese. Not so with Trump.

That’s not to say that Trump should have had them, but, you can Obama had them, Bush 43, Clinton, etc. As VP, there was no reason for Joe to have them. Why is the FBI not searching his homes and the Penn center?
