Oliver talks to retired United States Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM, served 1983-2013) about how the legislative process evolved during his 30 years in Washington, D.C. They discuss the debt ceiling, successful instances of past bipartisan cooperation, the war in Iraq, industrial policy, energy policy, and much more. Senator Bingaman's new book Breakdown: Lessons for a Congress in Crisis offers an insightful, first-hand analysis of the causes and consequences of the dysfunction in Congress. Some of the sections, like the one concerning Bingaman's critical role in the passage of the Affordable Care Act, are extremely detailed and should prove useful to political scientists, historians, and others looking for primary sources related to these topics. One topic not discussed during this interview was Bingaman's exceptional 1982 campaign. While running against incumbent Harrison Schmitt, who was and still is the most recent person to have walked on the moon, Bingaman utilized the campaign slogan "What on Earth has he done for you lately?" in the course of drawing attention to Schmitt's seeming neglect of local matters.

   There's going to be a lot made about Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa getting knocked out of the game Thursday night against the Bengals, and it's certainly discussion worthy. The Dolphins are in trouble with the NFL, but there are some truths around this you won't hear anywhere else.    A new piece about Eric Schmitt pretty much concedes he's going to win the Senate seat in Missouri and it's going to be a nightmare for liberals.  This is fun stuff.    In Miami, the nation's largest radio station company has dumped AM Sports Talk and flipped it to a format that may shock you.  And it's great news!   We'll preview the Chiefs and Bucs, tip our cap to Joel Embiid and Lee Sterling is here (on fire as he's 4-1 for the patrons this year) with his picks from www.paramountsports.com

Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde das „Bevölkerungsgesetz“ von Thomas Robert Malthus eifrig und von vielen zustimmend rezipiert. Malthus ging davon aus, dass die Menschheit exponentiell wachse, während die Lebensmittelproduktion nur linear ansteige, wodurch auf Dauer immer wieder große Hungersnöte die Menschheit dezimieren werden. Anschließend werde die Bevölkerung wieder anzufangen zu wachsen, bis die kritische Grenze erneut erreicht ist – ein regelrechter Teufelskreis. Malthus war sich sicher, ein Naturgesetz entdeckt zu haben, so sehr sogar, dass er sich gar keine Mühe mehr gab, dieses zu beweisen, sondern sich damit begnügte, es bloß zu postulieren. Es waren vor allem Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels, die das malthusianische Denkgebäude einer fundamentalen Kritik unterzogen. Zwar loben die Begründer des Marxismus Malthus dafür, dass er immerhin die Klassenverhältnisse nicht verschleiert, doch sei die eigentliche Theorie aus mehreren Gründen nicht haltbar. Zunächst ist da die Naturalisierung von Verhältnissen, die in Wahrheit gesellschaftlich bedingt sind – Malthus suggeriert, der Mensch sei den Naturzusammenhängen ausgeliefert wie ein Tier. Weiter kritisiert Marx, dass Malthus den Grund für die Verelendung der Arbeiter in der Masse der Subsistenzmittel, nicht in ihrer Stellung zu den Produktionsmitteln sucht.

In Episode 69 machen wir einen großen Wandel durch. Den allseits gefürchteten Demographischen Wandel! Wenn nächstes Jahr der erste Baby Boomer Jahrgang in Rente geht, ändert sich einiges. Stefan Schulz legt uns dar, wie Veränderungen in Politik (#Demokratie, #Rente), Wirtschaft (#Fachkräftemangel) und dem Privaten (#Familienstrukturen, #Einsamkeit) mit der Demographie zusammenhängen. Wir diskutieren Deutschland Zukunft und wie wir jetzt die Chance nutzen müssen, um neue Konzepte der (sozialen) Vorsorge zu erarbeiten.Die Folge in einem Satz: Stefan wunderte sich über den allgemeinen Zynismus und schrieb darum ein Buch über Generationen, Human erkennt die Interaktion des Demographieproblems mit strukturellem Rassismus und Mary-Jane echauffiert sich, wie immer, über Produktivitätsmythen.Shownotes:Stefan Schulz, Die Alten Republik, Buch Stefan Schulz & Wolfgang M.

The San Francisco Giants are just about eliminated, but that doesn't mean this last week and a half is meaningless. Far from it, actually. Several key members of the SF Giants, like Evan Longoria, Mike Yastrzemski, LaMonte Wade Jr., Joc Pederson, Carlos Rodón, and others are playing for meaningful personal goals. Longoria wants the Giants to pick up his $13 million club option that has a $5 million buyout, effectively making it an $8 million decision. He delivered a clutch two-run single that made the difference for the Giants in Sunday's series-clinching win over the D-Backs. Yastrzemski was a possible non-tender candidate, but a strong week seems to have secured his spot on next year's roster. Wade is another non-tender candidate and hasn't been able to get it going with the bat all year. Time is running out to make a strong final impression. Rodón is playing for a $100M+ contract. His main goal should just be to stay healthy over his final two starts. Will the Giants be the one to give him the big contract he's in line to receive? The answer is unclear. Pederson is also playing for his next contract, although his absence from Sunday's lineup was noteworthy and he won't receive anything close to what Rodón gets on the open market. Pederson seems like he may be back next year, but it's an open question. Some other arb-eligibles playing for a spot on next year's team: Jakob Junis, who rebounded from a rough stretch with 5.1 strong innings in Sunday's win. He seems to have a spot locked up for next year. Luis González was also playing for a spot on next year's San Francisco Giants squad. He's cooled way off after a hot start, but has still been overall solid against righties. He'll be out of options next year, so it's not entirely certain what the Giants will do with him in the offseason. He could be a non-tender candidate, or he could be traded, or he could be back next year. It's hard to see him and Wade (and Yastrzemski) all being back. Two of those three at most seems most likely. Lastly, Giants third base prospect Casey Schmitt was promoted to Triple-A. It's been a great season for Schmitt, one of the Giants' top prospects, who should enter 2023 in Sacramento and will be right on the cusp of the major leagues.

O rei Davi foi o maior rei que a nação de Israel já teve. Porém durante a sua jornada, ele enfrentou vários desafios e um grande processo de amadurecimento em sua vida. Baseado no Salmo 23:5 quando Davi diz: "Preparas uma mesa na presença dos meus inimigos..." Esta mensagem tem a ver com o processo de amadurecimento de Deus em nossas vidas a ponto de sermos capazes de sentar a mesa com nossos inimigos e ainda assim sermos capazes de manter os nossos olhos fixos em Deus.

As single parents, we are very, very acquainted with our shortcomings. It may have been a big indiscretion or mistake that we've made in our past, or maybe the day-to-day awareness that we're not doing everything perfectly. In either case, most of us carry around a low-grade sense of shame a lot of the time. It's hard to face head-on the fact that we fall short, but a significant part of moving towards health is embracing the good and bad in our lives. In those areas where we see ourselves as failing, having grace, and showing ourselves forgiveness are critical. So how do we do that? How do we face our weakness and show ourselves true grace as we move towards wholeness? Brad Schmitt spent 12 years writing a popular celebrity column for a major publication and was an entertainment reporter on TV. During his TV reporter days, Brad was convicted twice in three years for drunken driving. He got fired and went to jail and rehab before recovering from substance abuse in 2010. Since then, he has had a complete life change, leading others on the recovery path and becoming a single father by choice, raising a foster son. In this episode, we discuss what self-forgiveness looks like in his life.

On Friday's Mark Levin show, Hillary Clinton compared Trump rallies to Hitler rallies. President Biden called MAGA Republicans a threat to democracy. Republicans. Not the party of Jim Crow, not the party of lynching, or the party of racially motivated riots, but the Democrats are calling republicans Hitler supporters, and this will be parroted by the media and become acceptable speech to the consumers of fake news. Then, Joe Kennedy was supportive of Hitler and the Democrat Party has a history of being an evil racist political party. Biden is using tried and tested tactics of totalitarians and repeating them. Their goal is to think for you so that you simply abide. Later, Biden probably won't not seek reelection and doesn't care who wins the next election. Therefore, he is politicizing the government, spending trillions, and signing executive orders like no other president in modern history. He acts without legislation or regard for the American people. Afterward, Missouri AG Eric Schmitt calls in to discuss his race for the US Senate. Schmitt emphasized how important it is to win this senate seat because elitist Democrats are trying to pack the court, remove the filibuster, and ram whatever legislation they want straight through Congress with no debate.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Nach seinem erfolgreichen Debutroman „Buddenbrooks“ hatte Thomas Mann große Sorge, er könne einer jener Schriftsteller werden, die mit ihrem ersten Buch berühmt geworden sind und diese Höhe danach nie wieder erreichten. Jahrelang recherchiert und skizziert er, bis er 1909 mit „Königliche Hoheit“ seinen zweiten Roman veröffentlicht, der auch autobiographische Züge hat, da Mann seine Ehe mit Katja Pringsheim verhandelt. Der märchenhafte Roman spielt in einem fiktiven Duodezfürstentum, das zwar noch die romantische Fassade aufrechterhält, aber dessen Staatskassen längst leer sind. Mehr noch: Der Kleinstaat, den bald Prinz Klaus-Heinrich repräsentieren soll, ist hochverschuldet. Da trifft es sich gut, dass mit Samuel Spoelmann ein Milliardär aus den USA zum Kuraufenthalt anreist und er außerdem seine emanzipierte Tochter Imma mitbringt. Löst der Eisenbahnkönig den feudalen Adel ab? Wie glaubwürdig ist die Liebe? Welches volkswirtschaftliche Grundwissen benötigen ein gesunder Staat und eine gute Ehe? Hochironisch schildert Mann eine kleine Welt, die sich vor dem modernen Kapitalismus nicht länger verschließen kann.

After some time in the tank, this episode features the ideas that have brought me back. I introduce the concept of semio-stratocracy, an amalgam of Barthe's/Baudrillard's semiocracy, or rule by signs; and stratocracy, a term for a government dominated by the military. I lay out a kind of semiotic conflict theory drawing on Bateson's work on the double bind, Baudrillard/Wilden's idea of a higher logical order being necessary to displace a system, and Schmitt's concept of the sovereign deciding the state of exception, and defining the normal situation. In this, I venture a new warfighting concept, along with semio-stratocracy itself and also the idea of the weaponized concept, namely sacrificial transparency, to begin to describe an operational logic which can carry us out of a spiraling war logic.

In jedem Atemzug, in jedem Wort, ist sie zu spüren: diese grenzenlose Schläfrigkeit, gespeist aus Kälte, Regen und Fernsehpreiskater, die sich wie ein Windschutz über die Mikrofone der Herren Heufer-Umlauf, Lundt und Schmitt gelegt hat. Da lümmeln sie auf den Sofas in Klaas' neuem Büro und sind hörbar bemüht, ihre Peinlichkeiten auf der Preisverleihung wie ein letztes, großes Abenteuer zu verkaufen. Heufer-Umlauf hat an diversen Promis gerochen, Lundt die Rapskills von Roland Kaiser bewundert und Schmitt hat sich geschämt. So weit, so egal, wären da nicht die bemerkenswerten Aussetzer der lieben Kollegen gewesen, die uns Hörer*innen nochmal kurz die Augen öffnen lassen: Joko Winterscheidt gewinnt einen Preis und redet dann über sein Geld (Classy). Bülent Ceylan fordert Trompeten gegen Putin (Blüffig) und Johannes B.Kerner zeigt seine Fähigkeiten als Stand-up-Comedian (Oha.). Doch bevor es zu aufregend wird, wechselt Lundt das Thema, erzählt von Ekel-Viechern im Badezimmer und versucht verzweifelt, eine Neuauflage seines bizarren Rouladenwettbewerbs herbeizuphantasieren. Ja, man möchte diese Folge schon in eine Apotheke bringen und als Einschlafhilfe anbieten, bis Heufer-Umlauf unerwartet aufschreckt und berichtet, dass er - Achtung - „Das Sommerhaus der Stars“ geguckt hat! Als wäre es völlig normal, philosophiert Klaas plötzlich über Raubein Basler, den schönen Cosimo und die „Causa Erik“. Lundt und Schmitt fürchten ob dieser freudigen Überraschung, irgendwann aus diesem Traum geweckt zu werden und wieder hinaus zu müssen. In diese kalte, nasse Welt, außerhalb von „Baywatch Berlin“.

Für Armin Laschet bildet sie immer noch ein wichtiges Fundament der CDU. Auch weitere konservative Politiker beziehen sich bewusst oder unbewusst bei ihrer Sozial- und Wirtschaftspolitik auf einen Text, der bereits 1891 veröffentlicht wurde und dessen Verfasser immerhin Papst Leo XIII. ist. In seiner Enzyklika „Rerum novarum“ setzte Leo sich als erster Papst mit der Arbeiterbewegung, dem Sozialismus und dem Kapitalismus auseinander. Die Enzyklika ist ein Gründungstext nicht nur für die Katholische Soziallehre, sondern auch für das, was Soziale Marktwirtschaft genannt wird. Wie sozial aber ist das päpstliche Rundschreiben wirklich? Keineswegs kritisiert der Papst den Kapitalismus an sich, sondern er geißelt nur einige Auswüchse, um letztlich vor allem moralische Urteile zu fällen, die ökonomisch betrachtet, auf sehr tönernen Füßen stehen. In erster Linie bekennt sich der Vatikan zur bürgerlichen Eigentumsideologie, gleichzeitig werden Klassenwidersprüche verschleiert oder schlichtweg geleugnet. Auf Fleiß und Leistung, komme es an, und es gelte stets, den sozialen Frieden zu wahren. Dennoch ist die Enzyklika auch eine Absage an den „Laissez-faire“-Kapitalismus und den Liberalismus, denn die Politik soll nach Ansicht des Papstes in das Marktgeschehen aktiv eingreifen.

Eine Theorie muss nicht richtig sein, um lange Zeit Einfluss zu haben. Thomas Robert Malthus ist dafür das beste Beispiel. Bis heute wird er immer wieder zitiert, um scheinbar zu beweisen, dass zu viele Menschen auf dem Planeten leben. Eine Dekade nach der Französischen Revolution veröffentlicht Malthus einen Essay mit dem Titel „Das Bevölkerungsgesetz“, in dem er erklären möchte, warum dauerhaft kein Wohlstand für alle geschaffen werden könne. Zwar können mehr Lebensmittel produziert werden, doch sei dieses Wachstum viel zu langsam im Vergleich zum angeblich exponentiellen Wachstum der Bevölkerung. Malthus ging davon aus, dass sich die Menschheit, wenn sie optimistisch in die Zukunft blickt, munter fortpflanzt, um dann wieder an ihre Grenzen zu geraten, wenn nicht alle ernährt werden können. Der Ökonom malt moralistisch unterfüttert und aufgrund einer bloß behaupteten Prämisse einen Teufelskreis, aus dem es kein Entrinnen gibt. Heute sind wir klüger: Zwar dürfte bis 2050 die Weltbevölkerung ihren Zenit bei knapp unter 10 Milliarden Menschen erreicht haben, doch erlebten wir in den vergangenen 200 Jahren einen gewaltigen Fortschritt, der es sehr wohl erlaubt, alle Menschen zu ernähren. Momentan haben wir es jedoch mit einem Verteilungsproblem zu tun. Außerdem dachte Malthus nicht daran, dass die Menschheit es eines Tages schaffen könnte, durch Verhütungsmittel den Sexualtrieb von der Fortpflanzung zu entkoppeln. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ widmen sich Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt den Thesen von Malthus. Literatur: Thomas Robert Malthus: Das Bevölkerungsgesetz. Übersetzt von Christian M.

Die Inflation wird uns noch eine Weile erhalten bleiben und die Leitzinserhöhung der EZB kann uns zudem in eine tiefe Rezession schlittern lassen. Trotzdem hält die Ampel-Regierung an ihrem Sparkurs fest und bietet nicht genügend finanziellen Ausgleich für jene, die am stärksten unter den Preissteigerungen zu leiden haben. Was also tun? Die Volkswirtin Friederike Spiecker warnt nicht nur vor einer Lohn-Preis-Spirale, die sich hier bislang noch nicht in Gang gesetzt hat, sondern zeigt auch auf, inwiefern unser falsches Verständnis von Geldpolitik katastrophale Folgen haben kann. Im „Wohlstand für Alle“-Spezial spricht Wolfgang M. Schmitt mit Friederike Spiecker über das, was jetzt zu tun wäre.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who are both Republicans, filed a lawsuit in May accusing President Joe Biden's administration of working in tandem with social media companies to suppress free speech, with specific allegations tied to information regarding elections and COVID-19. The attorneys general have been deliberating for months with the White House over which documents need to be shown in the lawsuit. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty ruled the Biden administration must hand over Fauci's and Jean-Pierre's relevant emails within 21 days despite objections from the Justice Department, which cited executive privilege and presidential communications privilege. The crux of the lawsuit focuses on how social media companies handled claims about the origins of COVID-19, as well as how Big Tech platforms limited the reach of a New York Post article in November 2020 about information found on a laptop that once belonged to the president's son, Hunter Biden. In their initial filing, Landry and Schmitt argue that "having threatened and cajoled social-media platforms for years to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left, senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collusion with social-media platforms under the Orwellian guise of halting so-called 'disinformation,' 'misinformation,' and 'malinformation.'" The pair of Republican attorneys general already obtained records earlier this month showing multiple federal agencies' officials contacted social media companies to develop content moderation strategies. One of the emails revealed the Department of Health and Human Services and Facebook personnel worked together to take down groups on the platform. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/american-federation-of-teachers-political-expenses-tax-form Legal group asks IRS to audit AFT teachers union's political spending EXCLUSIVE — A conservative legal group is accusing the American Federation of Teachers, the nation's second-largest teachers union, of misreporting funds used on political causes to the IRS and is requesting an audit of the organization. In a Wednesday letter to the IRS, a copy of which was provided exclusively to the Washington Examiner, the Landmark Legal Foundation requested the tax collection agency investigate the teachers union for allegedly failing to report its expenses related to political advocacy properly on its annual tax forms. The union, led by President Randi Weingarten, has been a fixture of Democratic Party politics for years. Weingarten often appears with Democratic political candidates at campaign rallies, and the union has a long and well-documented history of supporting liberal causes, along with Democratic politicians and political action committees. As a 501(c)5 tax-exempt organization, the AFT must annually submit Form 990 to the IRS. The form asks organizations if they have "engage[d] in direct or indirect political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office" with a yes or no answer box. The union checked "no" in response to the form's question from 2016 to 2019, according to 990 forms reviewed by the legal group. The complaint to the IRS alleges that Weingarten and the AFT used funds from the "general treasury" to pay for various political activities, including campaigning on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016, as well as sponsoring an "AFT Votes" bus tour during the 2020 campaign that "mobilized the public to vote for identified candidates for public office." The filed complaint comes just weeks after President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes funding for the IRS to hire an additional 87,000 agents, a fact that Landmark Legal noted in its complaint in urging the agency to investigate. In June, the Washington Examiner reported that the AFT raked in a record $196 million in 2021 membership fees based on a report from Americans for Fair Treatment, a public sector union watchdog group. https://www.theepochtimes.com/adults-aged-35-44-died-at-twice-the-expected-rate-last-summer-life-insurance-data-suggests_4711510.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Death claims for working-age adults under group life insurance policies spiked well beyond expected levels last summer and fall, according to data from 20 of the top 21 life insurance companies in the United States. Death claims for adults aged 35 to 44 were 100 percent higher than expected in July, August, and September 2021, according to a report by the Society of Actuaries, which analyzed 2.3 million death claims submitted to life insurance firms. The report looked at death claims filed under group life insurance policies during the 24 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, from April 2020 to March 2022. The researchers used data from the three years before the pandemic to set a baseline for the expected deaths. While COVID-19 played some role in the majority of the excess deaths for adults over the age of 34 during the two pandemic years, the opposite was true for younger people. For people 34 and younger, the number of excess non-COVID deaths was higher than those related to COVID, the data show. During the third quarter of last year, deaths in the 25-to-34 age bracket were 78 percent above the expected level and, for people aged 45 to 54, 80 percent higher than expected. Excess mortality was 53 percent above the baseline for adults aged 55 to 64. One life insurance company stated that it recorded COVID-19 as the cause of death only when it could be determined to be the primary cause of death on a death certificate. The report also notes that white-collar workers had the highest number of excess deaths during the two years studied. The group, which includes accountants, lawyers, computer programmers, and most other jobs done in an office setting, had 23 percent more deaths than expected. The sharp increase of deaths among working-age people was first brought to light by Scott Davison, CEO of the Indianapolis-based life insurance company OneAmerica, who said in a virtual press conference on Dec. 30, 2021, that his company and the life insurance industry as a whole was seeing a 40 percent increase in deaths among people ages 18 to 64. President Joe Biden on Sept. 9, 2021, mandated COVID-19 vaccines for federal employees and health care workers in facilities certified by Medicare and Medicaid. The same day, the president tasked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with implementing a nationwide vaccine mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees. The campaign to vaccinate the majority of the population against COVID-19 is the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the world. As of Aug. 31, about 90 percent of Americans 18 or older had gotten at least the first dose of one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and 77 percent had gotten both a first and a second dose. Dr. Robert Malone, a physician and research scientist credited with the invention of the mRNA technology for use in vaccines, says excess mortality must always be studied to determine whether a vaccine or medicine really is safe. “Excess mortality should be a signal, a trigger,” he told The Epoch Times. “When we see excess mortality like that—basically if you’re running a clinical trial and you see this kind of excess mortality, you stop the trial. And you investigate the cause before you proceed. And if you’re marketing a drug, generally, with this kind of data, you stop the distribution of the drug until you have sorted it out.” Malone mentioned what he calls the “classic example” of thalidomide, a morning sickness medication prescribed to a small number of pregnant women in the United States in the late 1950s and early ’60s that was effective in treating morning sickness, but caused severe deformities in their unborn children. The drug maker had pressured the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug, but the FDA refused, based on the deformities that had been reported. Cholesterol medication is another example, he added, saying cardiologists were convinced in the 1990s that cholesterol was the “bad actor” and that heart disease numbers would drop if it could be brought down. “So they came out with some really good drugs for dropping cholesterol, and they ran the trials,” he said, “and it clearly showed that they were effective in dropping cholesterol in humans, to a remarkable level, very, very effective. And everything was on track for approval, at those doses. And then the all-cause mortality data started coming in.” “And paradoxically, people were dying, but they weren’t dying of heart attacks. Their heart attack death rate was better. They were committing suicide, because when you pull cholesterol out of the brain, you trigger depression.” Malone was a professor of pathology at the University of California–Davis and at the University of Maryland, where he had a lab. In the case of COVID-19, he said, the CDC and FDA have been in denial about what all-cause mortality data show, in particular on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), where the government has only considered deaths that occur within 2 to 3 weeks of vaccination, based on the belief that the mRNA doesn’t stay in the body for longer. Now, he says, studies clearly show that this isn’t true and the mRNA stays in the body for at least 60 days. The government is required to study all-cause mortality for any drug or vaccine, says Malone, usually for a period of at least one year following approval. But there’s no indication, he says, that they’ve done this for the COVID-19 vaccines. “The FDA basically threw away the rulebook, and let Fauci do whatever he wanted to do,” he says.

Wilson’s Hospital School suspended Burke from teaching while he underwent a disciplinary process for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of a student who identifies as transgender, which he said would violate his Christian beliefs, and a court issued an injunction temporarily barring him from teaching, according to RTE. Burke returned to the school anyways, and he was arrested and taken to prison. “I am a teacher and I don’t want to go to prison,” Burke said, according to the New York Post. “I want to be in my classroom today, that’s where I was this morning when I was arrested … I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, ‘Actions not words,’ but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl.” He was initially suspended Aug. 24, and the court order came down Friday after he continued attending school anyways, according to RTE. He defied the court order blocking him from teaching Monday and told the court that it would violate his conscience to obey it. Burke said in court that he loves his students and the subjects he teaches and that he didn’t want to go to prison, but he couldn’t violate his conscience by participating in the child’s gender transition process, according to RTE. “To be clear, this teacher was jailed for breaching a court order, not for ‘misgendering’. But that court order barring him from the school because he refused to use ‘they’ for a male student, should never have been granted IMO,” author and commentator on transgender issues Helen Joyce wrote. “Sinister and absurd.” Wilson’s Hospital School did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Death claims for adults aged 35 to 44 were 100 percent higher than expected in July, August, and September 2021, according to a report by the Society of Actuaries, which analyzed 2.3 million death claims submitted to life insurance firms. The report looked at death claims filed under group life insurance policies during the 24 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, from April 2020 to March 2022. The researchers used data from the three years before the pandemic to set a baseline for the expected deaths. While COVID-19 played some role in the majority of the excess deaths for adults over the age of 34 during the two pandemic years, the opposite was true for younger people. For people 34 and younger, the number of excess non-COVID deaths was higher than those related to COVID, the data show. During the third quarter of last year, deaths in the 25-to-34 age bracket were 78 percent above the expected level and, for people aged 45 to 54, 80 percent higher than expected. Excess mortality was 53 percent above the baseline for adults aged 55 to 64. One life insurance company stated that it recorded COVID-19 as the cause of death only when it could be determined to be the primary cause of death on a death certificate. The report also notes that white-collar workers had the highest number of excess deaths during the two years studied. The group, which includes accountants, lawyers, computer programmers, and most other jobs done in an office setting, had 23 percent more deaths than expected. The sharp increase of deaths among working-age people was first brought to light by Scott Davison, CEO of the Indianapolis-based life insurance company OneAmerica, who said in a virtual press conference on Dec. 30, 2021, that his company and the life insurance industry as a whole was seeing a 40 percent increase in deaths among people ages 18 to 64. President Joe Biden on Sept. 9, 2021, mandated COVID-19 vaccines for federal employees and health care workers in facilities certified by Medicare and Medicaid. The same day, the president tasked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with implementing a nationwide vaccine mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees. The campaign to vaccinate the majority of the population against COVID-19 is the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the world. As of Aug. 31, about 90 percent of Americans 18 or older had gotten at least the first dose of one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and 77 percent had gotten both a first and a second dose. Dr. Robert Malone, a physician and research scientist credited with the invention of the mRNA technology for use in vaccines, says excess mortality must always be studied to determine whether a vaccine or medicine really is safe. “Excess mortality should be a signal, a trigger,” he told The Epoch Times. “When we see excess mortality like that—basically if you’re running a clinical trial and you see this kind of excess mortality, you stop the trial. And you investigate the cause before you proceed. And if you’re marketing a drug, generally, with this kind of data, you stop the distribution of the drug until you have sorted it out.” Malone mentioned what he calls the “classic example” of thalidomide, a morning sickness medication prescribed to a small number of pregnant women in the United States in the late 1950s and early ’60s that was effective in treating morning sickness, but caused severe deformities in their unborn children. The drug maker had pressured the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug, but the FDA refused, based on the deformities that had been reported. Cholesterol medication is another example, he added, saying cardiologists were convinced in the 1990s that cholesterol was the “bad actor” and that heart disease numbers would drop if it could be brought down. “So they came out with some really good drugs for dropping cholesterol, and they ran the trials,” he said, “and it clearly showed that they were effective in dropping cholesterol in humans, to a remarkable level, very, very effective. And everything was on track for approval, at those doses. And then the all-cause mortality data started coming in.” “And paradoxically, people were dying, but they weren’t dying of heart attacks. Their heart attack death rate was better. They were committing suicide, because when you pull cholesterol out of the brain, you trigger depression.” Malone was a professor of pathology at the University of California–Davis and at the University of Maryland, where he had a lab. In the case of COVID-19, he said, the CDC and FDA have been in denial about what all-cause mortality data show, in particular on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), where the government has only considered deaths that occur within 2 to 3 weeks of vaccination, based on the belief that the mRNA doesn’t stay in the body for longer. Now, he says, studies clearly show that this isn’t true and the mRNA stays in the body for at least 60 days. The government is required to study all-cause mortality for any drug or vaccine, says Malone, usually for a period of at least one year following approval. But there’s no indication, he says, that they’ve done this for the COVID-19 vaccines. “The FDA basically threw away the rulebook, and let Fauci do whatever he wanted to do,” he says.

Wilson’s Hospital School suspended Burke from teaching while he underwent a disciplinary process for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of a student who identifies as transgender, which he said would violate his Christian beliefs, and a court issued an injunction temporarily barring him from teaching, according to RTE. Burke returned to the school anyways, and he was arrested and taken to prison. “I am a teacher and I don’t want to go to prison,” Burke said, according to the New York Post. “I want to be in my classroom today, that’s where I was this morning when I was arrested … I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, ‘Actions not words,’ but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl.” He was initially suspended Aug. 24, and the court order came down Friday after he continued attending school anyways, according to RTE. He defied the court order blocking him from teaching Monday and told the court that it would violate his conscience to obey it. Burke said in court that he loves his students and the subjects he teaches and that he didn’t want to go to prison, but he couldn’t violate his conscience by participating in the child’s gender transition process, according to RTE. “To be clear, this teacher was jailed for breaching a court order, not for ‘misgendering’. But that court order barring him from the school because he refused to use ‘they’ for a male student, should never have been granted IMO,” author and commentator on transgender issues Helen Joyce wrote. “Sinister and absurd.” Wilson’s Hospital School did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

My guest is a young comedienne who is growing in popularity. We discuss her career, the difficulties she's encountered as a comedienne, her thoughts about the current state of standup comedy, and much more.

Ein (zugegeben lauwarmer) hot take zum Einstieg: Nur weil man in dieser Ausgabe Baywatch Berlin etwas lernt, ist man hinterher nicht unbedingt schlauer. Alle wollen ja immer von Podcasts “etwas mitnehmen” und den “Horizont” erweitern- na dann. Bitteschön. Wir erklären euch heute unter anderem wer Internet Rabauke “Oranje Moranje” ist, ob man seinen Namen ÜBERHAUPT so schreibt & warum so eine Knallerbse namens “Tanzverbot” Oranje Moranje vor Kurzem eins auf die Glocke hauen wollte. Danach gibts eine Technikecke Spezial. Klaas war auf der IFA und konnte sich dank intelligenter Smart-Tech-Lösungen eines koreanischen Elektronikherstellers einen geheimen Weg durch einen aufgebrachten Mob navigieren, den Spotify Werbelegende Jan Böhmermann aus niederträchtigen Gründen auf den sympathischen Oldenburger gehetzt hat. Alle haben geweint! Schmitt & Lundt stellen ausserdem fest, dass das BESTE an Trash TV Formaten überhaupt ist, wenn sich einzelne Teilnehmer einbilden, sie seien “ein Müh schlauer” als die anderen. Und wissen sie was aufmerksame Baywatch Berlin Hörer*innen in dieser Folge feststellen können? Sich mit Freude im Gespräch über diese Leute zu amüsieren, macht auch am meisten Spaß, wenn der eigene intellektuelle Abstand zum “Sommerhaus der Stars” ebenfalls die Maßeinheit “Müh” nicht überschreitet. Irre was? Sehen sie? Genau das meinte ich- man lernt zwar was, aber wo sie das Gelernte verstecken sollen, wenn mal Besuch da ist, ist ganz allein ihr Problem. Bussi Bussi & bis gleich!

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who are both Republicans, filed a lawsuit in May accusing President Joe Biden's administration of working in tandem with social media companies to suppress free speech, with specific allegations tied to information regarding elections and COVID-19. The attorneys general have been deliberating for months with the White House over which documents need to be shown in the lawsuit. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty ruled the Biden administration must hand over Fauci's and Jean-Pierre's relevant emails within 21 days despite objections from the Justice Department, which cited executive privilege and presidential communications privilege. The crux of the lawsuit focuses on how social media companies handled claims about the origins of COVID-19, as well as how Big Tech platforms limited the reach of a New York Post article in November 2020 about information found on a laptop that once belonged to the president's son, Hunter Biden. In their initial filing, Landry and Schmitt argue that "having threatened and cajoled social-media platforms for years to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left, senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collusion with social-media platforms under the Orwellian guise of halting so-called 'disinformation,' 'misinformation,' and 'malinformation.'" The pair of Republican attorneys general already obtained records earlier this month showing multiple federal agencies' officials contacted social media companies to develop content moderation strategies. One of the emails revealed the Department of Health and Human Services and Facebook personnel worked together to take down groups on the platform. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/american-federation-of-teachers-political-expenses-tax-form Legal group asks IRS to audit AFT teachers union's political spending EXCLUSIVE — A conservative legal group is accusing the American Federation of Teachers, the nation's second-largest teachers union, of misreporting funds used on political causes to the IRS and is requesting an audit of the organization. In a Wednesday letter to the IRS, a copy of which was provided exclusively to the Washington Examiner, the Landmark Legal Foundation requested the tax collection agency investigate the teachers union for allegedly failing to report its expenses related to political advocacy properly on its annual tax forms. The union, led by President Randi Weingarten, has been a fixture of Democratic Party politics for years. Weingarten often appears with Democratic political candidates at campaign rallies, and the union has a long and well-documented history of supporting liberal causes, along with Democratic politicians and political action committees. As a 501(c)5 tax-exempt organization, the AFT must annually submit Form 990 to the IRS. The form asks organizations if they have "engage[d] in direct or indirect political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office" with a yes or no answer box. The union checked "no" in response to the form's question from 2016 to 2019, according to 990 forms reviewed by the legal group. The complaint to the IRS alleges that Weingarten and the AFT used funds from the "general treasury" to pay for various political activities, including campaigning on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016, as well as sponsoring an "AFT Votes" bus tour during the 2020 campaign that "mobilized the public to vote for identified candidates for public office." The filed complaint comes just weeks after President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes funding for the IRS to hire an additional 87,000 agents, a fact that Landmark Legal noted in its complaint in urging the agency to investigate. In June, the Washington Examiner reported that the AFT raked in a record $196 million in 2021 membership fees based on a report from Americans for Fair Treatment, a public sector union watchdog group. https://www.theepochtimes.com/adults-aged-35-44-died-at-twice-the-expected-rate-last-summer-life-insurance-data-suggests_4711510.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Death claims for working-age adults under group life insurance policies spiked well beyond expected levels last summer and fall, according to data from 20 of the top 21 life insurance companies in the United States.
