Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth; ‘The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over’
The Bay State joins a list of states with a similarly dark approach to innocent human life. Newsweek: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation on Monday that gives doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, making it the 10th state to allow the procedure at any point in pregnancy (Newsweek).
I am deeply ashamed for my country.
This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like outside the womb.
In Massachusetts, you can now abort an unborn baby at this age.

Julia Cassidy: It was an utterly macabre scene in Massachusetts [Monday], as Democrat Gov. Maura Healey signed legislation legalizing abortion up to birth and removing previously existing protections for post-24 weeks abortions. The death sentence, which overwhelmingly passed the Democrat House on July 22, was met with cheers and smiles of surrounding women who champion “reproductive freedoms.” The new legislation removes the previous 24 week limitation, permitting abortion throughout the pregnancy by “allowing physicians to rely on their professional medical judgment, consistent with accepted standards of care, when providing abortion care later in pregnancy.” It also eliminated a list of “statutory exceptions” that previously permitted late-term abortion in “exceptional cases.” Now, with a doctor’s approval, abortion can be performed at any point for virtually any reason (Townhall).
More from Joe Chalfant in his piece, “The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over Massachusetts”: Remember when Democrats would tell you that “no one celebrates abortion”? (Townhall).

Restructuring aims to close $365 million budget shortfall
Harvard University laid off almost one-third of its social sciences staff affected by its latest restructuring this month, resulting in 75 direct layoffs.
About 15 of those employees were offered a different job or the choice to take the layoff instead. Three other people either got new roles or quit on their own before the official notices went out, The Harvard Crimson reported.
This is more than twice as many people as the number cut at Harvard College the month before.
“The cuts make the social sciences the hardest-hit part of the [Faculty of Arts and Sciences] restructuring disclosed so far,” The Crimson reported.
The layoffs most heavily impacted the coordinator, faculty assistant, and financial associate positions.
“Twenty-two out of 30 faculty assistant, faculty coordinator, or faculty support specialist roles were slashed, and five of 14 financial associate and senior financial associate positions,” according to The Crimson.
The staff restructuring aims to close a $365 million budget shortfall. Last week’s cuts were the fifth and largest wave of job changes since mid-July, after three smaller rounds in May and June.
Crowley Stuns In WI, Beating Socialist In Dem Governor Primary– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Wisconsin Democrats on Tuesday disregarded the polls and narrowly rejected an avowed socialist as their nominee for governor in the Badger State’s nationally-watched primary election.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who dropped out of the race late only to be coaxed back in by the so-called Democratic Party “establishment,” defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong by razor thin margins.
Per usual, Crowley’s Milwaukee County faced a ballot count delay, a stoppage that dragged out the tally for hours and was once again blamed on “human error.” It’s another in a string of election night messes for Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s most-populated — and election integrity challenged city.
With 98.4 percent of the vote in just before 2 a.m., Crowley led by just four-tenths of a percentage point, or just over 3,000 votes. The New York Times finally called the race for Crowley just before 3 a.m. local time.
Doctors File Lawsuit to Stop Illinois’ New Assisted Suicide Law– www.lifenews.com

For more than 40 years, Dr. Mary Keen Kirchoff has dedicated her career to caring for the most vulnerable—the disabled, the elderly. She became a doctor to heal, not to help her patients die.
Starting on September 12, the State of Illinois will order her to push suicide on her patients.
Illinois’s new assisted suicide law makes three demands of every doctor in the state:
• Tell patients about the “benefits” of ending their own lives—even patients who never asked.
• Refer them to someone willing to help them die.
• Falsify a death certificate to hide what really happened.

Newsom Signs ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ to Stop Investigations Into Immigration ‘Service’ Provider Fraud › American Greatness– amgreatness.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Saturday expanding privacy protections for immigration service workers, despite warnings that the measure could chill investigative journalism and face First Amendment challenges.
Assembly Bill 2624, dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, expands California’s Safe at Home program to certain nonprofit employees who assist people navigating the U.S. immigration system.
The law will take effect Oct. 1, 2027, after Newsom leaves office because of term limits.
Democratic Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who introduced the bill in February, said the protections are necessary because immigration service providers face harassment and threats.
“Our immigrant service providers are living in fear because of extremists looking to demonize the work that they do and the populations they serve,” Bonta said Saturday.
The measure imposes penalties on people who distribute information or images of covered immigration workers under circumstances the law defines as inciting violence or threats. Penalties can range from $10,000 to $50,000, with violations potentially carrying jail or prison sentences.

Rescue workers and volunteers rushed to clear rubble as they searched for survivors in Colombia on Tuesday after the country was struck by its strongest earthquake on record.
At least 181 people died and 1,595 were injured in the earthquake, according to the country’s president, Abelardo de la Espriella.
De la Espriella said 195 people were reported missing. Civilian-run databases suggest the number of missing could be as high as 3,900. Many families posted information about loved ones online, hoping for information about their fate.
Over 1,100 homes across the country were destroyed, and over 8,300 damaged, de la Espriella said. Rescue workers and volunteers were seen clearing rubble by hand in some places.
The 7.4 magnitude quake struck cities across Colombia’s western region shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time Monday, sending panicked residents onto the streets.

Enes Kanter Freedom Banned From Sky Arena Over ‘Potential To Be A Threat’– dailycaller.com

EXCERPT:
A “threat”? … They really went there.
Michael Alter, the owner of the Chicago Sky, stated Tuesday that former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom is banned from Wintrust Arena following Sunday’s confrontation with guard Natasha Cloud.
The ruling was revealed by Alter in an address to beat writers. (RELATED: Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White — Former NBA Players Who Declared For WNBA Draft — Ruled Ineligible: REPORT)
“He has demonstrated to us, unequivocally, that he has the potential to be a threat,” said Alter, per ESPN.
It’s not clear how it was determined that Freedom could be threatening.
The incident between Freedom and Cloud took place in the third quarter of Chicago’s defeat against the Indiana Fever. After Cloud scored, the Fever called a timeout, and she ended up directing her energy at Freedom, who was sitting around the basket. Freedom got out of his seat and began walking toward Cloud, and immediately, security and Sky players got in the middle of the two.

EXCERPT:
The harpies are going into battle! There is a Million AWFL March movement brewing in every state. Lindsey Clancy murdered her three children, and you would think, “Hey, that’s bad. What an evil person!” You would be wrong. Lindsey isn’t a woman so much as she is a symbol, signalling to other women that it’s…ok to murder your children? I’m honestly at a loss, and that’s before getting into why this broad is “armed” with a bow and a fanny pack.
Usual viral video disclaimers. Grok couldn’t provide be any more context on who this AWFL broad is. I’m assuming she doesn’t have any children of her own, but that’s just based on the fact that if she did, she seems like the kind of person who would include them in her content.
I know this is being shared around the X-Twitters to bait rage, and it’s working. My rage is, in point of fact, baited. Dare I say, I have AWFL fatigue. But if I’m being honest, I’m mostly put off by the laziness of it. You go through the trouble of setting up the tripod, putting on your homeliest dress, your fancy fanny pack, and grab a bow…just to stand there?
I’d expect at least a feminist Hunger Games motif.

EXCERPT:
Long lines formed at gas stations in Tehran Tuesday after the United States announced fresh sanctions aimed at pressuring Iran into submission.
Washington has turned to pulling economic levers six months into a war on Iran that has ground to a stalemate militarily, with peace talks stalled and most traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz blocked.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday laid out plans for the “economic asphyxiation” of Iran, saying the “objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains this tyrannical regime.”
Though Iran’s leaders have shrugged off the tough talk, having already endured sanctions for decades, some residents of the capital feared that they would feel the pinch.
“Naturally, sanctions affect people’s lives,” realtor Mehdi Yazdian, 55, who urged the authorities to control prices, told the AFP news agency. “People are being hurt, both those who are financially well-off and those who are financially weak.”
“Yes, these sanctions are having an effect,” he said. “But naturally, our people are resilient. These sanctions have been in place for 47 years.”
Hungary elects supreme court judge ousted by Orban as new president | Civil Rights News– www.aljazeera.com

EXCERPT:
Hungary’s parliament has confirmed Andras Baka, a former Supreme Court chief and critic of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as the country’s next president.
The National Assembly voted in a secret ballot on Tuesday to confirm him as president with 140 votes in favour, six opposing and no abstentions.
He had been nominated on Saturday by the Tisza party, which holds a constitutional majority of more than two-thirds of parliament. During the nomination, Tisza lawmakers said Baka’s experience would represent “a significant asset” as the party lays “the foundations for Hungary’s new constitutional order”.
Opposition party Fidesz – which dominated Hungary’s politics until a landslide electoral defeat in April – boycotted the vote. They accuse Tisza of using authoritarian tactics to reshape the country’s political system, a charge the party denies.

U.S. says Canada among China’s ‘biggest enablers’ in avoiding Trump tariffs – National– globalnews.ca
News Source
EXCERPT:
A new White House trade report says the Trump administration considers Canada among China’s “biggest enablers” in avoiding U.S. tariffs through transshipment, a “modern form of smuggling” that the U.S. claims is costing billions in lost tax revenue.
The report released Thursday from the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy — titled “The Great Transshipment Scam” and featuring a timely image of a Trojan horse on the front page — accuses China of routing their exports through third countries with more favourable U.S. tariff rates.
An estimated 40 countries, including Canada, comprise a “shadow transshipment network” used by China, the report argues.
“In plain terms, illegal transshipment is smuggling disguised as trade — fraud cloaked in paperwork — and, in truth, nothing new,” the report says, adding what has changed is the “breadth, depth, and sophistication” of China’s network.
