Legislators pushing toward the end of the legislative session send to governor a state appropriations and tax cut agreement and bill changing how citizens can make laws.

Outside influences, once we are consciously aware of them, cannot overpower our innate energy source within.Giving reactionary power to effects of politics, repetitive subliminal narrative, imposed terror, HAARP, electromagnetic frequencies, geo-engineering, unresolved traumatic issues, and even telepathic intuitions, without consciously identifying them, erodes your true strength.What is driving your moods today? Did you stay up all night scrolling through headlines, checking weather patterns, or struggling with night terrors from your past? Are you obsessively watching grid patterns in the sky or even moon cycles? Energy flows where focus goes.Identify the reality of worldly influence, then gently steer your thoughts back to embracing goals and possibilities. Change your thought, change your mood. What is it that you can affect today?I began this conscious exercise combating monthly cycles, choosing to never use hormonal changes as an excuse to complain. I put rules on my emotions so my emotions do not rule me, consciously choosing my thoughts. Once a month, I made it a rule that I could not think or say anything negative about myself, bloated or otherwise. This mental exercise began to change my world. Response over reaction reclaims and retains your own power. Take responsibility for your own life within realms of what you can change and impact. Response-ability is the ability to respond by choice.If imposed frequencies have you down, shift your focus within your own source of energy and exude it. Living the love you are is life's highest vibrational frequency. Lesser energies cannot penetrate when you exude the most powerful force in the universe. With that energetic energy driving your thoughts, it is easy to think of SOULutions to the bombardment of negative energies we all experience these days. Write your Congressman, visit your Governor, set appointments with Legislators, and approach them with concise, detailed facts of your complaints. Take up petitions, logically inspiring others to lift themselves above immobility and join your cause. If you emotionally take to the streets with a sign screaming at all passerbys, you are only adding to their immobility and no one- including you- accomplishes anything. Think it through and speak with others eye to eye, heart to heart, and soul to soul.When I was overwhelmed with my daughter Kelly's circumstance in custody of a corrupt system, I found myself drowning in my tears completely immobilized. I volunteered locally to combat litter at our State Park, which got me outside and focused on cleaning. This shift of focus helped clear my mind so I could positively affect my child's need.Negativity immobilizes while a brighter mind inspires clarity of thinking. Do you live in an environment of complaint, making it a challenge to rise above negativity? Rather than echo complaints by adding your own, or, worse yet argue, take the lead. Suggest a walk with assurance it has been helpful for you. Change the subject. Change your thought change their mood!My daughter Kelly and I are fortunate to have exercised mind over matter throughout our healing process thanks to Mark.  All three of us were aware of HAARP's affect, so together we learned to rise above imposed frequencies with conscious awareness. Mark was an extremely positive influence on Kelly and I both in light of his wisdom, which I am in turn sharing with you today. Sometimes just a word of encouragement, depth of understanding, or a reminder to live the love you are is enough to rise above immobilizing negativity.Read full article on Cathy's website Here!

How to Battle Anti Breeder Legislation Around the US [caption id="attachment_14021" align="alignleft" width="446"] Jennifer Clark joins fanciers at an event in Washington DC.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Jennifer Clark, AKC director of legislative outreach, to talk about legislation in Oregon and what's happening elsewhere in the country and why it matters that fanciers get involved. “For those who are not in Oregon, or may not have been following it,” Clark said, “what this bill basically said initially is that the state has to start regulating anyone who breeds and sells in the state. So if you sell one dog, you suddenly have to be regulated. We don't have any idea what these regulations are going to be. “That was a huge concern for us because why should someone who's breeding and raising one litter in their home be regulated and inspected by the state? A lot of times in states when they're regulating breeders, it's on a commercial level. They're regulating the large commercial facilities or people who are doing this professionally and not those who are hobbyists or financiers. “And there are very specific guidelines that are often in place, such as drainage in your floors and kennel setups and temperature records. All these things like flooring are great if you have a large kennel building, but what if that's your living room? Then how are you going to be able to comply? Does that mean I have to tear up my carpet because it can't be completely sanitized? Do I have to put a drainage system in my laundry room? And does that mean that state has to come in and inspect my kitchen because that's where the whelping pen is. How do we handle these questions? So that was a huge concern. AKC Government Relations, NAIA, local clubs and fancier reaction resulted in an amendment to state ‘more than two litters,' Clark added and the bill is currently not passed into law. You can track legislation in your state with AKCGR's fantastic tool HERE. [caption id="attachment_14020" align="alignright" width="307"] Clark's grandmother with her show bred Cocker Spaniel circa 1930s,[/caption] “(Legislators) need to understand this group of people and who you are and what you do. And that is what's going to make the difference to them because you are the ones that are going to be directly impacted. You are the ones who are going to vote, and that's why they need to hear from you. And that's why we've seen any change on this bill at all. And that's why it's slowed down a bit is because of everyone who has written in and called. And we hope that you'll continue to do so,” Clark said. AKCGR is holding a legislative conference to help people learn how to interact on this type of legislation. The conference is scheduled in St. Louis on Saturday, June 14. “We will give updates on legislation around the country, provide fun, interactive sessions on how to be effective advocates for your dogs and our sport, and discuss how clubs can make a difference in their community,” Clark noted.

In the early hours of Friday, April 25, Indiana legislators passed a $46.2 billion budget for state expenses over the next two years—specifically, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. Legislators knew going in that state revenue to fund the budget would be tight, and they got a nasty revenue forecast with about a week to go in the session. The last week of a budget-writing session is usually pretty hectic, and this one had plenty of surprises as lawmakers tried to find ways to generate more tax revenue while simultaneously reducing funding for agencies and departments. Fledgling Gov. Mike Braun jumped headfirst into his first legislative session and made progress on his campaign promise of providing property tax relief. The Republican-led General Assembly also passed legislation aimed at lowering health care costs for Hoosiers with an approach that focused on hospitals. In both of those cases, of course, the bills passed were the product of much debate, lobbying, negotiation and compromise. Lawmakers also entered the session knowing that reforms would be proposed for the Indiana Economic Development Corp., the state agency charged with helping attract businesses to Indiana and helping businesses currently in the state grow. Its fate wasn't entirely decided until very late in the session. To take stock of the latest budget-writing session and how it will affect Hoosiers, we've invited a panel of reporters who covered some or all of the General Assembly to share their insights on fiscal issues and a few surprises. From the Indianapolis Business Journal, we have Cate Charron and Daniel Lee. And they're joined by Casey Smith of Indiana Capital Chronicle.

The social media platform X, run by Elon Musk, has filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Minnesota law barring the use of deepfakes to influence an election.The lawsuit, filed Wednesday against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, claims the law — passed with bipartisan support in the Legislature in 2023 — violates free speech rights. The law made it a crime to post fake videos that could be used to influence an election. Legislators were concerned that deepfakes, made with AI and digital editing, could be used to spread misinformation about candidates. It carries potential penalties of fines and prison time.Alan Rozenshtein, a University of Minnesota law professor who specializes in technology and the constitution, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the lawsuit.

(The Center Square) – Illinois drivers could be taxed by the mile under a pilot program being considered at the statehouse. Senate Bill 1938 is to be discussed by members of the Transportation committee before April 11. The proposed Road Usage Charge Act would create a pilot program to test a mileage-based fee instead of motor fuel taxes for funding highways. Opponents, like Illinois Trucking Association Executive Director Matt Hart, argue the state of Illinois already has a well-functioning system in place to fund the construction of the state's roads and bridges. “That's why we supported the 2019 capital bill that has put us on the pathway to where we are today, with the state of Illinois having nearly $6 billion in road funds – $3.5 billion in the road fund and $2.3 billion in the state construction account,” Hart told The Center Square. “Clearly, the actions we took in 2019 are providing us with ample revenues for our state.”

On this West Virginia Morning, legislators discuss a bill that would remove the ability of cities and towns across the state to set their own rules, called home rule, and a check-up on the consequences of the Safer Kentucky Law.

Our guest on this episode is Leah Downey, Junior Research Fellow at St. John's College Cambridge and author of the new book Our Money: Monetary Policy as If Democracy Matters. Independent central banks are thought to be necessary to prevent politicians using monetary policy to influence elections and to avoid dangerously high levels of inflation. Is this really correct? Is it really healthy for a democracy to allocate so much power to a very small group of unelected people? Why is monetary policy considered ‘too complicated' for politicians when equally complex areas like energy and defence are not? Is more uncertainty in monetary policy actually better for long-run economic stability? We tackle all these questions as we explore Dr. Downey's view that the way we govern central banks needs to change.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Learn more about Leah on her website and read her book.Episode TimeStamps: 02:23 - Introduction to Leah Rose Downey08:36 - A comic flimsy ground10:34 - Examples of the tension between legislators and Fed15:21 - Legislators have become a weak economic

Kansas Reflector opinion editor Clay Wirestone, reporter Anna Kaminski and editor in chief Sherman Smith talk about three recent examples where lawmakers have hidden their work from public scrutiny or directed animus toward journalists.

Today's episode was a wild ride, hosted by the dynamic duo of Joe Oltmann and David Clements. They kicked things off by diving into a controversial Colorado House bill (HB25-1073) from earlier this year, which aimed to set mandatory minimum incarceration periods for Class 4 and Class 3 child sexual assault cases. Shockingly, six Democrats voted NO, effectively killing the bill. Joe and David didn't hold back as they unpacked who these lawmakers are and what their votes mean for justice in Colorado—stay tuned for the full scoop on these names! Halfway through the show, we were thrilled to welcome guest Karen Kennedy, who brought her A-game to the conversation. Karen weighed in on a range of hot topics: Colorado's political landscape, veterans and military issues, the Trump administration, and her exciting plans to run for a congressional seat in the near future.
