In today's News: Planned Parenthood drops suit  Planned Parenthood of Arizona has dropped its lawsuit against Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, which sought to have several state regulations on abortion overturned. The suit challenged laws which mandated only physicians commit abortions, banned abortion pills dispensed via telemedicine, and required women to have an ultrasound at least 24 hours before an abortion. Despite dropping the suit, the abortion business is still pressing judges to overturn the laws. In addition, the organization announced on Oct. 24 the resignation of Bryan Howard, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Arizona. Howard spent 36 years working for the abortion chain, 23 of which were with Planned Parenthood of Arizona. Howard had previously complained about ultrasound legislation, noting that it has led to fewer abortions being committed, meaning women have “had their life substantially disrupted.” He also falsely claimed to provide prenatal care, and opposed legislation banning discriminatory abortions committed based on the race or sex of the child.  Black pro-life leaders tell Planned Parenthood to leave  Black pro-life leaders are telling the Planned Parenthood abortion chain to get out of their neighborhoods and stop targeting black women and unborn babies. The National Black Pro-Life Coalition recently filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, accusing the abortion chain of decades of racial discrimination, One News Now reports. Planned Parenthood itself recently admitted that its founder, Margaret Sanger, held eugenics beliefs “rooted in racism, ableism and classism” and removed her name from its New York City facility. Hundreds of Planned Parenthood employees also accused its leaders of racism earlier this year. Lori Hoye of the Issues4Life Foundation said the abortion chain needs to do more than just disavow its founder. Though abortions hurt families of every race and culture, statistics indicate that abortions disproportionately hurt the African-American community. Census data indicates that African Americans make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, but they have about 40 percent of all abortions. Malagasy Lutherans choose a new leader On Nov. 5, the Malagasy Lutheran Church elected the Rev. Dr. Denis Rakotozafy to serve as its new president. The vote came during the church’s 23rd synodical conference held Nov. 4-8, which gathered under the theme: “and increase the harvest of your righteousness…” (2 Corinthians 9:10).  Same-sex marriage ban overturned  Nevada voters overturned a ban on same-sex marriage, making it the first state to recognize gay couples' right to marry in its constitution. The right to same-sex marriage was one four new amendments to the state constitution, which also included a voters' bill of rights and a renewable energy mandate. 

On Nov. 9-10, 1938, attacks against Jewish communities living in Germany came to be known as Kristallnacht, or The Night of Broken Glass. The ensuing years of the Holocaust led to the mass murder by Germans of millions of European Jews.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments over the fate of the Affordable Care Act—also known as Obamacare—on Nov. 10. It's a short argument week that also includes disputes over immigration and barriers to suing law enforcement. All ears will be on Justice Amy Coney Barrett in her second phone argument week as the justices remotely hear a Republican challenge to the healthcare law that dominated discussion during her confirmation hearings. On Nov. 9, the court will hear arguments on time rules surrounding immigration removal proceedings and whether federal law blocks a man’s suit against federal task force officers who beat him up.

Meanwhile, the final call on the 2020 presidential #elections is still up in the air. The outcome now hangs on the developments in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona, which Biden would need to reach the 270 Electoral College votes, and which may still be overturned by lawsuits filed by the Trump administration around changes to voting laws ahead of the elections, on incidents of observers being denied access to key locations where votes are still being counted, and of other issues. We'll be taking an in-depth look at this. Meanwhile, the Trump administration reiterated its position on China just ahead of the elections. On Nov. 2 the National Security Council issued a statement saying that Trump’s policy on China is to put America first, and that it recognizes the Chinese Communist Party as a threat to America’s economic and political way of life. It stated, “We are no longer turning a blind eye to the People’s Republic of China’s conduct nor are we hiding our criticism of its Communist Party behind closed doors.” And, the Trump administration went ahead of and cleared the sale of sophisticated drones to Taiwan. The clearance by the State Department was outlined in a formal notification to Congress, in a move that the People's Republic of China has been deeply unhappy about. Congress will have 30 days to object to the sale, but this isn’t likely to happen, given that it has had bipartisan support.

Hello everyone, this is Alejandro Gutierrez-Dunca AKA Alex, your host. Today we have a lot to talk! Get ready. On our Elk Grove Edition, I will talk about Political literature, I will answer to the comments from EG News (Thanks for the interests), I will talk about money and what’s in the city council? An article published by Elk Grove Citizen about funding and money in local races intrigues me and finally I will pitch you with my closing points “Why you should vote for Alejandro Gutierrez-Duncan” and for our AfroSaya edition, I have to talk about Dia de los Muertos or Todo Santos as it is called in Bolivia.  So, let’s go!  Hi everyone, I am your host, Alex and here is the thing. Political literature. Do you know how many trees need to die before you can have some political literature on your mailbox? I guess you don't, so let me start with that. As a millennium, I learned at a very early age that our environment is in a  fragile situation. I learned that for every single piece of paper we use, a tree needs to die. My teachers in my school life told me that I should be conscious about the use of paper. As we entered into the era of technology, I understood that no tree needs to die in order to use a digital paper. Plus, whatever I put on it, it can be erased and I can still reuse the digital paper. I loved the idea and I am very proud, I have used it in this important moment in my life.  YES beautiful citizens of Elk Grove, you did not receive massive political literature from me for weeks because of my moral responsibility with the environment. Also, how many of you did really read the political ads. I haven’t and it is annoying! It is unsolicited and we can always go to the internet to find out, right? Now, I understand if some people don’t know how the internet works, or how to access information online, but allow me to be honest and clear, many of you even with political literature on your hands, you still went online, right? Okay so there you go. I am conscious about the environment and I didn’t publish millions of ads; however, I did send out literature about myself with some props, but that’s about it. And I targeted a very specific population. And it went once and it was very modest and simple.  Fun Facts: I went online and I googled “how many trees die for paper” I click on my first source which I normally don’t do, but it was a .edu, so I went into and it was from the University of Southern Indiana, I believe their facts are true and they listed a very terrifying facts. Come on Americans, we can do better. So listen,  To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, five hundred thousand (500,000) trees must be cut down. If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper grocery bags, you'd get about 700 of them. A busy supermarket could use all of them in under an hour! This means in one year, one supermarket can go through over 6 million paper bags! Imagine how many supermarkets there are just in the United States!!! The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to about two billion (2,000,000,000) trees per year!  Now, you might be saying, but Alex, we can recycle and that is true. According to this report  Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save seventy five thousand (75,000) trees. Oh so little for what we take!  So do your math. For the city of Elk Grove and District 3, do we need to send physical ads? We are twenty two thousand eligible voters. Should virtual ads be enough? Well, you will prove to us what works and what doesn’t. This Nov. for sure vote! https://www.usi.edu/recycle/paper-recycling-facts/ Moving on from this issue, let’s talk about money and the reasons for a seat in the City Council. It is true and it is very public that our city is rich in resources. YES baby! We have money, but this is not for your personal use, or is it? So for district 3, there are five, cinco, people running for one single seat. Three of them are old politicians. They had their chance, so why are you running again? Anyhow, it is their right and I am glad we are all doing it, but why are you running, really?  And this is my personal thoughts, get ready, here it comes the Cholula, the spice salsa. So, Elk Grove Citizen newspaper says “Spease is (a) top recipient of campaign contributions in the race to represent District 3” so Spease is another candidate who ran before for Elk Grove, for Mayor. So listen “Spease on Oct. 22 reported that he received $99,514 in contributions in this calendar year and spent $88,524 during the same period. He has an ending cash balance of $23,870.” If we have to do the math and divide that much dinero! Everyone in Elk Grove, district 3 who is eligible to vote, would receive $4.54. Nice!  The article continues and says “Amandeep Singh, who reported $59,542 in contributions and an expenditure total of $24,853. He had a reported cash balance of $37,524.” A lot more to be spent, oh Singh!  As the article gives you more tea (chisme) Maureen Craft, who also ran for the same council seat against Detrick in 2016. Hay Maureen, you don’t give! Good for you. She reported $44,531 in contributions and $35,992 in expenditures for this calendar year. Her reported ending cash balance is $20,937. More chisme, District 3 candidate Lynn Wheat, who ran in Elk Grove’s first directly elected mayoral race in 2012, Another person who ran ! Come on people, Anyhow, she  reported $7,108 in contributions and $6,286 in expenditures in this calendar year. And right at the end, our dear, Alejandro Gutierrez-Duncan (me), “who joined the District 3 race in May “(Thanks for the reminder) and it should say, who is running for the very first time, like a virgin, He is running for change and deserves an opportunity. LOL , “reported $2,695 in campaign contributions received and $2,246 spent on his campaign.” So there you go! As you can see. I am running because I believe in change and I think there is too much money and I hope that this doesn’t answer the payback. I mean if you get a money contribution, later this donor, big mamas! Will ask you for a return. Like my mother used to say, “nada”, nothing is free in this capitalist society, so you should wonder about that. In my case, I'm running or ran because I think money is not what we need to be on the city council. We need people with leadership, and skills and a representative who cares about our city. I am that one. I have no other interest than making this place for everyone, really for everyone. I am a high school teacher who started in 2017 at Cosumnes Oaks High School here in Elk Grove and my dedication for equality and opportunities are now driving me into this new passion. I really hope you are making the right decision and choose someone who is interested in change and in building a better place for all and not in money. If you have not voted yet, please consider my candidacy and vote for Alejandro Gutierrez-Duncan. If you have questions or follow-ups please write directly to contact@votaleajandro.us or visit our website www.votealejandro.us (http://www.votealejandro.us/) Now, let open AfroSaya!   November first and second are very important days for the Latino Community. Those are the days we celebrate part of our traditions. Although Dia de los muertos and Todo Santos are a mix of traditions (religious - Catholic and indigenous beliefs) they are part of who we are. Dia de Los Muertos is probably the most popular tradition celebrated in the US. I will talk about Todo Santos, which is a Bolivian holiday and how Afrobolivians celebrate this. There are food, music and family gatherings. How during COVID-19 this celebration is changing our traditions? Let’s talk about it.  Food is very important during these festivities. Food is prepared in advance and I will share a little bit of my personal experience. When I was a kid, I would visit the house of my uncle/grandpa’s house. Tio Mario. he was the person who will ensure there are the necessary ingredients for the long -- three + days of celebration. He used to get all the beef, vegetables, rice, pasta and flour ready for Todo Santos. On Nov. 1 at 12pm, people set up a mesas or a Welcoming table with candles, flowers, drinks and a picture of a relative or a family member who died and we want to receive them back. During the rest of the afternoon, people chew Coca leaves (Pikchar) and they share drinks and talks.   As a kid, I thought that death was just a moment to leave earth and you will come back on Nov. 1 to check on family and friends.I thought you never really leave, but I was wrong.  As a kid you can only understand what you can.  On November second, our beloved ones will return to the land of death. People pack all the food and drinks made in their honor and take them alongside with a lot of pan de muerto to the cemetery. In Bolivia this breed is called TantaWawas. While in the cemetery, people sit near, around, or on top of the graves and talk about the life of the person. They usually share good memories.  Music is playing everywhere. Some people bring musical instruments and they play all day. This event is usually between three to six hours. In Bolivia kids and adults come to the grave of your loved ones and they will say “Podemos resar” Can we pray for your loved ones?” After you give them the approval, they pray out loud and as a thank you, you give them food and Pan the Muerto or TantaWawas. There is no money involved in all of these.  When the night comes, people return home, but my family will continue the celebration of Todo Santos. We will head back to Tio Mario’s house. While there, my cousins and I will watch movies. Sometimes we will watch horror movies, some other times fun movies or comedies. I remember my mom being in the kitchen along with other tias cooking and gossiping about someone’s else. But one thing you will never miss those days was food. There was always plenty and good food. The next day, my cousins and I will go to a local basketball court and play. We used to get competitive.  As a teenager, I remember celebrating this holiday with African music AFROSAYA music. This came a little late in our family because for many years, Afro Bolivians were not allowed to celebrate or incorporate their ancestry in a religious indigenous culture. However, in rural towns, Afrobolivians were all long ago celebrating with their African roots. You can hear music, smell and eat food like Mondongo or Fritanga and enjoy a unique drink like Yungueñito to honor a loved one, and the celebration is extended to 5 days. During COVID-19 the celebration did not stop anyone. People are still going to the cemeteries and they are celebrating like COVID-19 never happened. I wonder if this is going to be a similar picture here in the US during Thanksgiving or Christmas.   My younger sister who still celebrates Todo Santos, was recently cleaning the grave of our mother and she said, yes we are still going to celebrate. We will take care, but this is who we are, this is our tradition and we only celebrate one time every year.  I can only wish them a safe holiday.  Tell me how are you celebrating Dia de los Muertos or Todo Santos? Write us to afrocontacto@gmail.com I hope you like our show today. We will have more in the upcoming days. AfroSaya will return to their regular program and we have much more to share because our Afrolatinidad is too big to end soon!  Thank you so much for hanging out with me. Please take and vote if you are here in the US. Your vote matters!

On Nov. 3, 1995, the Toronto Raptors tipped off against the New Jersey Nets and changed the sports landscape of the city. The Raptors are now a team to be reckoned with but it wasn’t long ago that people would have laughed at the notion they would ever win an NBA title, let alone by the time their 25th anniversary rolled around. Why did they become champions? What were the turning points? How comedic, chaotic, tumultuous, and triumphant has the last quarter-century been? Raptors beat writer Doug Smith (Toronto Star) has pretty much seen it all covering the team from Day 1, and oftentimes he would say, “Man, that’s one for the book.” Now you have it.

On Nov 29 1970, a man and his 2 daughters were hiking through the Isdalen valley near Bergen in Norway when they stumbled upon the burned remains of an unknown woman.

On Nov. 3, experts predict the presidential election will produce the highest voter turnout in at least a century — but a significant chunk of those voters won't be casting their ballot at a physical polling place. Safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic have shined the spotlight on the United States Postal Service and its financial struggles, raising questions about whether it can handle an increased load of mail-in ballots. Will it be able to deliver results on time, free of fraud? Management professor Michael Nalick, an expert in the intersection of business and politics, shares his greatest concerns and explains how the post office became a political issue in the first place.

In today's News: Planned Parenthood sued for defamation  The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) and its founder David Daleiden, responsible for the 2015 undercover video series exposing top Planned Parenthood leadership negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted fetal body parts, are suing planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). for defamation in New York federal court after PPFA falsely and repeatedly accused the filmmakers of “manufacture[d]”, “fake”, and “false” undercover video reporting. In sworn deposition testimony in 2019, top planned Parenthood Officials admitted that their own actual statements were captured by the undercover video recordings. PPFA itself stipulated during a federal court trial that the words used by Planned Parenthood officials in the undercover videos “were spoken by those persons”. Yet on Sept. 18, 2019, PPFA issued a press statement claiming Daleiden and CMP filmed and published undercover video “to manufacture a fake smear campaign against Planned Parenthood”. On Nov. 15, 2019, PPFA tweeted that Daleiden and CMP “created a false smear campaign against Planned Parenthood”. After 30 months of undercover work, CMP began releasing its undercover video footage of documenting Planned Parenthood and its business partners’ participation in the harvesting and sale of human fetuses and their body parts from abortions. With each video release, CMP posted the full footage of the conversation with the Planned Parenthood representative, alongside a shorter summary version presenting the most significant parts of the conversation.  Supermarket chain sued for religious discrimination  A major supermarket chain is facing a lawsuit after firing two employees over their refusal to wear a rainbow emblem that violates their religious beliefs as part of their work uniform. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against the Kroger Co. Monday in response to action taken by Kroger store no. 625 in Conway, Ark., against two employees. The employees were terminated after they refused to abide by the new dress code, which required them to wear an apron depicting a rainbow-colored heart emblem. The women contended that wearing the apron would amount to an endorsement of the LGBTQ movement, which contradicts their religious beliefs. According to the EEOC, “one woman offered to wear the apron with the emblem covered and the other offered to wear a different apron without the emblem, but the company made no attempt to accommodate their requests.” The EEOC complaint comes more than a year after both women were fired from the supermarket chain.  Student suspended for posting Bible verse  A Christian high school student in Ohio was suspended last week after she posted Bible verses on lockers and walls after she saw LGBT Pride flags and posters decorating the halls of her school. Last Friday, mother Tina Helsinger posted a video to her Facebook page featuring her daughter, Gabby, explaining how she ended up being sentenced to an in-school suspension at Lebanon High School. Helsinger explained that as she was coming back from lunch, she saw teachers taking down the Bible verses she put up. Superintendent Todd Yohey clarified to Faithwire that the district’s student code of conduct prohibits the sharing or posting of religious text or imagery on school grounds.

Meet Doreen Diaz, the daughter of a mother and father who were saved from drug addiction to become pastors on the front lines of ministry to those in the inner-city streets of New York and southern California. A lifetime of ministry to those afflicted by AIDS, drug addiction, homelessness or street gang warfare is all she has known. “Me and my brothers grew up seeing all of this,” she said. “To us, it was normal. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God, what are we doing?’”     Her battle for souls on the streets has not been a war free of casualty for her personally. On Nov. 11, 2013, as she was in Las Vegas preparing to celebrate her anniversary, she learned that her brother Daniel, a youth pastor with a passion to help gang members, had been fatally shot back home in Pomona, Calif. In the midst of the pain that she said “paralyzed” her family, they were able to extend forgiveness to the man convicted of Daniel’s murder two years later.     In today’s episode, Diaz talks about how her family’s response to that tragedy led to a drastic reduction in gang-related homicides in the very place she lost her brother, and how to maintain an uncomplicated Christianity. “The only way you can turn something like that around is not by hurting back, but it’s to love through it,” she says. 

In this teaching segment, we will examine the financial tentacle of the Babylonian system. To begin with we will look at the history of modern banking and the Rothschild banking dynasty. We will also examine the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Before the passage of this Act, the New York Bankers could only dominate the reserves of New York. After the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, they were able to dominate the bank reserves of the entire country. We will also look at the fraction reserve banking system. President John F. Kennedy wanted to eliminate the Federal Reserve. This central bank system has allowed: On June 4th, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signs Executive Order 11110 which returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency without going through the Rothschild owned Federal Reserve. On Nov 22, Kennedy is assassinated.

On Nov. 25, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a summary opinion in Thompson v. Hebdon, a case involving campaign-finance law. Specifically at issue was whether Alaska’s political contribution limits are consistent with this Court’s First Amendment precedents.Currently, Alaska’s law imposes (among other things) a $500 annual limit on individual contributions to a political candidate and to any group other than a political party.The 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the limits, ruling that they were drawn narrowly to prevent quid pro quo corruption or the appearance of such corruption. The Supreme Court, in an per curiam opinion, granted the petition of cert, vacated the decision below and remanded the case back for the 9th Circuit to revisit. Justice Ginsburg filed a statement.To discuss the case, we have Derek Muller, Professor of Law at Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law.As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions.

Overview: "O God, we don't know what to do, but our eyes are on you." (2 Chronicles 20:12).During the coronavirus outbreak, there has been panic, fear, and disruption to our lives, both individually and corporately as churches. But praise God, we're not the only Christians who have had to weather this kind of storm. On Nov. 3, 1918, Francis J. Grimké, pastor of 15th Street Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C., preached a sermon to his church, which reopened after public gatherings were banned amid the epidemic of influenza—an epidemic in which 3,000 D.C. residents lost their lives. Grimké gave 8 remarks to his congregation, and answered questions such as:What is the meaning of this epidemic? What were God's purposes in it?What does it teach us about race prejudice?What do we learn about the value of church and of faith in Jesus Christ?Come and be comforted by brother Grimké's words as he preaches to us still today.Links & Show Notes:Grimke's Sermon (for phone)Grimke's Sermon (for print)How DC Churches Responded When the Government Banned Public Gatherings During the Spanish Flu of 1918 (9Marks)Spurgeon and the Cholera Outbreak of 1854 (The Spurgeon Center)

On Nov. 23, Mount Vernon resident Kevin Verhoff published a blog post titled, “Crazy idea: Let’s build a rail network in Ohio!” It outlined a new way of thinking about public transportation, proposing the creation of a $9 billion passenger rail system that would serve 83 percent of Ohioans. To his surprise, the post took off. It received regional and national attention, as journalists and transportation advocates latched onto Verhoff’s concept. This week, our Grant Pepper spoke with Verhoff about his idea – where it came from, how it would work, and how people from Knox County would benefit from it. Before listening to this week’s episode, make sure to read the following articles: Verhoff’s original blog post: https://kevinverhoff.com/index.php/2019/11/23/crazy-idea-lets-build-a-rail-network-in-ohio/ The first story written about Verhoff’s idea, by Tyler Buchanan of the Ohio Capital Journal: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2019/12/05/passenger-rail-system-in-ohio-one-data-nerd-has-an-idea-on-how-to-make-it-possible/ Stories from the heart of Ohio is edited and produced by Grant Pepper.

On Nov. 4, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court heard argument in Barton v. Barr, a case involving a dispute over whether, for the purposes of the “stop-time rule,” a lawfully admitted permanent resident who is not seeking admission to the United States can be “render[ed] ... inadmissible”. The stop-time rule affects the discretion afforded the U.S. Attorney General to cancel the removal from the United States of a lawful permanent resident who has resided in the U.S. continuously for 7 years. Under the stop-time rule, the requisite continuous residence terminates once the alien commits any of a certain number of offenses that render the alien inadmissible to (or removable from) the United States under federal law. Thus, committing a listed offense may cause an alien to fall short of the continuous 7-year residence requirement and thereby become ineligible for cancellation of removal.Andre Martello Barton, after receiving lawful permanent resident status, was convicted in 1996 on three counts of aggravated assault, one count of criminal damage to property, and one count of firearm possession during the commission of a felony, all in violation of state law. In 2007 and 2008, he was also convicted of several state law drug offenses. The federal government then initiated proceedings to remove Barton based on his various convictions. He conceded removability on the basis of his controlled substance and gun possession offenses but applied for cancellation of removal based on continuous residence. The government argued that Barton’s 1996 convictions triggered the stop-time rule, thereby disqualifying him for cancellation of removal. The Immigration Judge ruled in favor of the government and the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed. Barton then petitioned for relief from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which rejected his argument that the stop-time rule only applies to aliens seeking admission to the United States, and therefore denied his petition.The Eleventh Circuit recognized that the federal circuit courts of appeals have split on the issue, however, and the Supreme Court ultimately granted certiorari to address whether a lawfully admitted permanent resident who is not seeking admission to the United States can be “render[ed] ... inadmissible” for the purposes of the stop-time rule.To discuss the case, we have Amy Moore, Associate Professor of Law at Belmont University College of Law.As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions.

Military chaplains often accompany the men and women they serve into the worst of circumstances. Father Eric Albertson, CH (COL), USA, knows all too well. On Nov. 11, 2004--Veterans Day--Father Albertson was accompanying fellow soldiers across Iraq's western desert in Al Anbar Province when their Humvee hit a roadside bomb. Father Albertson was knocked out and suffered a severe concussion. He recovered and went on to receive the Purple Heart for his injuries in combat. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Father Albertson, a U.S. Army chaplain for more than 26 years, shares his story, and he explains why it is so important for military chaplains, though unarmed, to go in harm's way.

In May, Chantal Monté sat down with her husband to celebrate her 72nd birthday. He killed her exactly one month later. The tragedy made Monté the 78th victim of femicide in France in 2019. While the definition of femicide varies around the world, in France, it typically means when a woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner. There have been 116 femicides in France so far in 2019, according to Agence France Presse, a French press agency. Meanwhile, the advocacy group Femicides by Companions or Ex brings the total to 138. Related: These Argentine women fight against a justice system 'written by men, for men'In France, one woman is killed every three days. Women ages 65 and over make up about a quarter of all victims of femicide, but they’ve largely been left out of the discussion — or their deaths have been misclassified as mercy killings and suicide pacts. “People don’t care,” said Nadia Neubacher, the daughter of Monté. Neubacher lives in Michigan with her family, but in May, she traveled more than 4,000 miles to southern France so she could join the celebrations for her mom’s birthday. She said everything seemed normal. Nadia Neubacher (left) with her mom, Chantal Monté, during a visit to Michigan in 2003.   Credit: Courtesy of Nadia Neubacher “I figured if something was wrong she would have left, but she never hinted ... we didn’t see anything,” she said.In late June, Monté’s husband killed her using a shotgun as she was sleeping. Then he killed himself. She was 72. He was 89. They had been together for 20 years. Neubacher said she didn't know what motivated the murder.Related: This Turkish filmmaker uses wedding dresses to discuss femicide“I don’t know if it’s because of the way they were raised [as a] a generation and that’s something they don’t talk about? I have no idea.”Particularly in the case of older women, it’s not uncommon for abuse to go on for decades in secret.  “They’re paralyzed by the thought that nobody will believe them. ... On top of that, elderly women become convinced that if they speak up, people will respond with skepticism..."Annie Guilberteau,  director, National Federation of Information Centers on Women’s and Families Rights “They’re paralyzed by the thought that nobody will believe them,” said Annie Guilberteau, the director of the National Federation of Information Centers on Women’s and Families Rights, an association that provides support for domestic violence victims in France. Guilberteau said perpetrators often use manipulation tactics to convince victims that the abuse is their fault. In elderly cases, this grip has often been sustained for decades. “On top of that, elderly women become convinced that if they speak up, people will respond with skepticism,” she said. “They’ll ask something like, ‘Well, if this has been going on for thirty years, why did you wait until now to say anything?’” Related: ‘We’re not scared’: Thousands of women march despite crackdown on protests in TurkeyAccording to a government poll that surveyed women from 2012-2018, around 219,000 women are victims of domestic abuse every year in France. But it’s difficult to know to what extent elderly women are affected because the poll only surveyed women between the ages of 18-75 years old. The lack of statistics has led some in France to refer to older women as the “forgotten victims” of domestic violence.When speaking about her mother, Neubacher’s eyes light up. She loves talking about her mom.“I could talk about my mom for hours and still come nowhere close to doing her justice,” she said.She added that Monté was smart and had a contagious smile. She also loved to travel and take care of animals. She had cats, dogs and, at one point, she even adopted two donkeys. “My sister and I were like, ‘Why are you doing this mom?!’ And she would just say, ‘I love donkeys.’”Her mom was full of life “in every way,” Neubacher said. “So, for her husband to decide to kill her ... it was not my mom’s choice.”But that’s exactly what some people suggested in the aftermath of the murder. At one point, there were rumors in the village of Bardos that Monté had died as part of a suicide pact with her husband. Neubacher believes people downplayed her death because she was an older woman.“I understand my mom was 72 years old, but it does not make it OK to throw her life away like that ... to sweep it under the rug,” she said.Related: Instagram art project spreads awareness about femicides in MexicoEarlier this month, investigators in Normandy were criticized for classifying a similar case of a couple in their 80s as a suicide pact.And in July, there were headlines about an 83-year-old anesthesiologist who killed his 81-year-old ailing wife. In a letter, the husband wrote it had become too difficult for him to look after his wife, who was suffering from Alzheimer's. These cases have generated debate about the issue of mercy killings and lack of support for older couples. But Neubacher said none of that makes what happened to her mother acceptable.“Labeling any murder a mercy killing is absolutely idiotic. ... It’s a murder, let’s call it what it is. You can put a fancy word in front of it and it’s still a killing.”Nadia Neubacher, daughter of femicide victim Chantal Monté “Labeling any murder a mercy killing is absolutely idiotic,” she said. “It’s a murder, let’s call it what it is. You can put a fancy word in front of it and it’s still a killing.”On Monday, Nov. 25, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the government would invest an additional $396 million in domestic violence prevention efforts, including the creation of 1,000 new women’s shelters and a 24-hour domestic abuse hotline. Activists have criticized the government’s response as “not up to par,” with some expecting the government to put forth $1.1 billion in the fight against domestic violence.Neubacher said she didn’t even know her mom was a victim of femicide until she got a call from “Femicides by Companions or Ex,” the group that tracks femicides across the country.“And they told us it doesn’t matter how old the woman is,” Neubacher said. “It does not matter, she’s still a victim of femicide.” Shortly after the murder, members of the association organized a march in Bardos, the town where Monté lived. On Nov. 25, a nationwide march against femicide drew in tens of thousands of people, including 49,000 in Paris alone. It was the city’s largest march against domestic violence to date.As for Neubacher, she’s just holding onto things that keep her mom’s memory close, such as her favorite pair of glasses.“... I refused to clean them. They were found on the table next to her. So...that is her.”

On Nov. 5, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court heard argument in Allen v. Cooper, which involves a dispute over the way state sovereign immunity and federal copyright law interact when an author alleges state infringement of that author’s federal copyright.Petitioner Frederick Allen and his company, Nautilus Productions, contend that North Carolina violated their federal copyrights by publishing video and photographic footage that Allen had taken of the pirate Blackbeard’s sunken flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge. Allen also challenges the validity of a recently passed North Carolina statute providing that photographs and video recordings of shipwrecks in the custody of North Carolina are public records. This law, he contends, was enacted in bad faith to undermine his copyright claim.Allen and Nautilus sued North Carolina and various of its officials in federal district court. Although the district court rejected defendants’ invocation of sovereign immunity from suit, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed that judgment, concluding that the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act does not validly abrogate Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity, which ultimately shields respondents from all of Allen’s and Nautilus’s claims.The U.S. Supreme Court subsequently granted certiorari to consider whether Congress validly abrogated state sovereign immunity via the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act in providing remedies for authors of original expression whose federal copyrights are infringed by states.To discuss the case, in this special panel episode, we have Zvi Rosen, Visiting Scholar and Professorial Lecturer in Law, George Washington University School of Law, Prof. Josh Blackman, Associate Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law Houston, and our moderator, Kevin R.

The Wright State University Police Department is participating in No-Shave November and officers’ follicle neglect is benefiting the Raider Food Pantry. On Nov. 14, officers donated nonperishable food items, including contained chicken noodle soup, cereal, peanut butter crackers and Stove Top stuffing, to the Raider Food Pantry, an emergency food service pantry that supports students and their families. “The timing is great because we are doing a big Thanksgiving Day basket give-away,” said Ri Molnar, a graduate student who works in the pantry. University police raised $400 for their participation in No-Shave November. Male officers are able to grow facial hair while female officers can color strands of hair and their nails. “I’ve never done this before,” said Kurt Holden, pointing to his facial hair. “But I’m going to do it every year because it’s a way to start a conversation and get involved with the campus.” Information about supporting the Raider Food Pantry is available on the organization’s website.

n this special episode, we talk about some recent changes to the leadership at PromoKitchen. On Nov 12, the board announced that Johanna Gottlieb would take over from Robert Fiveash as Chair of PromoKitchen. It was also announced that Kate Plummer would become Vice Chair. This is a big moment for PromoKitchen as the organization as now seen 3 leadership changes since the organization was founded in 2011. In 2016, Mark Graham handed the reigns to Robert Fiveash who did a masterful job of scaling the organization to where it is today. And now, we welcome a new generation of leaders to help PK to continue to grow and prosper. Many listeners will recognize Johanna for her work in building our mentor program as well as co-hosting the “Stories from the Floor” and “Newbies and Vets” podcast episodes. And Kate is no stranger either as she has been a driving force with Promochat and the Deep Dive video series. Both are exceptional leaders and human beings. We are so excited for the future of PK.

Every change starts with an idea, a change of heart, a shifted paradigm but unless it informs what we do it remains just an idea. Our focus on ‘Hearing Voices’ is not meant to make us more open-minded, but more open-lived. On Nov 17 we used our collective time, experience, energy and courage to each plan our own ‘What’s Next.’ Since that doesn't translate well to podcast, let this conversation between Greg, Melissa, and Chris fill that void as they dig in to some potential places to stretch your growth zone in this Hearing Voices conversation.

On Nov 6, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court heard County of Maui, Hawai’i v. Hawai’i Wildlife Fund, which involves a dispute over whether the Clean Water Act’s permit requirement applies when pollutants originate from a concrete point but are only conveyed to navigable waters indirectly, via groundwater.Under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), someone seeking to discharge a pollutant from a “point source,” such as a pipe or well, into navigable water must first obtain a permit via the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program (NPDES). The County of Maui, Hawai’i (the County), owns and operates four wells at a wastewater treatment plant that processes several million gallons of sewage per day. Treated wastewater from the plant is injected into groundwater via these wells, and some ultimately enter the Pacific Ocean via submarine seeps.Hawai’i Wildlife Fund and various other organizations filed suit against the County, alleging that it was violating the CWA by discharging effluent through groundwater into the ocean without an NDPES permit. The district court agreed with the plaintiffs and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed, rejecting the County’s argument that no violation occurred because the pollutants did not issue directly from the point source (the wells) into navigable water (the ocean), but rather traveled indirectly to the ocean via groundwater. The Ninth Circuit’s reading sharpened a split among the federal circuit courts of appeals on the proper interpretation of the CWA, and the Supreme Court granted certiorari to address whether the CWA requires a permit “when pollutants originate from a point source but are conveyed to navigable waters by a nonpoint source, such as groundwater.” To discuss the cases, we have Glenn Roper, attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation.As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions.

On Nov. 10, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court decided its second First Amendment case in two weeks. In Abrams v. U.S., the federal government asked the court to uphold the 1918 Amendment to Espionage Act of 1917, better known as the Sedition Act, which made it a criminal offense to suggest ending war-time production. In a 7-2 decision, the court upheld the Sedition Act, applied the two-week-old "clear and present danger" doctrine, and ignited a conversation on the limitations of free speech that extended through the rest of the 20th century. Within the clear and present danger doctrine, however, the federal government must prove intent. A year earlier, in August 1918, the New York City police arrested Hyman Rosansky for throwing leaflets out of a building in lower Manhattan. The leaflets, written in English and Yiddish, were critical of President Woodrow Wilson’s support of the Russian government during the Russian Revolution. With Rosansky’s help, the police arrested six alleged co
