Text of the page (random words):
nt a change in sex have no recourse when they grow up the third reason for statutory rape laws stems from the axiom the most important sex organ is between the ears a human s prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until the age of 25 thus long after the body is grown true informed consent is elusive some laws give full agency to 18 year olds while alcohol tobacco and firearms are withheld until 21 the addictive hormones and elective surgeries of sex change are more like the latter than the former britain s national health services already went down this foolish path and is now reversing course in 2011 its tavistock gender identity clinic in london began to give pre pubescent minors cancer drugs that interfere with the progression of puberty these are followed after puberty by artificial hormones that mimic hormones of the opposite sex in ten years referrals to the clinic had multiplied by 36 times and 98 5 percent of these referrals were minors kiera bell then their patients started coming of age a former patient kiera bell sued and won she had been prescribed the drug protocol as a minor and a double mastectomy at 20 in 2020 the high court ruled that the clinic was wrong to give permanently body altering treatments to minors unable to comprehend what they are agreeing to while that court battle rages on the tavistock clinic now faces one of the largest medical negligence cases of all time and is shuttering next year opponents of senator scott s bill claim that these permanent and elective pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures are legitimate health care and should be left to the medical and psychological experts but the experts do not agree after tavistock started doing these things to minors numerous psychologists resigned in protest during one three year span alone 2016 18 35 resigned from the clinic meanwhile more than 50 years after sex change operations began and more than a decade after minors began to receive them the current ama standard of care still has nothing to do with longitudinal research and positive outcomes and everything to do with the wishes of the patient thus as children come of age and realize that they have been permanently sterilized and or will be unable to breastfeed their own children they are denied even the recourse of a medical malpractice suit wyoming has always protected minors from adults who would convince them to engage in harmful behavior it shouldn t matter whether those adults are drug pushers human traffickers doctors or surgeons harm is harm we should all stand up and say not in our state posted by jonathan lange at 3 13 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday october 12 2022 political parties and the power of friendship photo credit hannah busing on unplash today s partisan rancor both between parties and within parties tempts many into fevered dreams of a utopian party less world but more sober thinking realizes that even if all party lines were erased it could not be a party less system but only a single party system that s no dream it s a nightmare the right to form political parties is written into the first amendment congress shall make no law respecting the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances these words are not merely about picket lines taken together they recognize the right of individuals to amplify their voices by unifying their concerns into a single petition or a single candidate that s what political parties do to accomplish this political parties have the right to determine who may join their assembly and who may not and governments may not intimidate individuals from joining nor may they mandate the inclusion of members that oppose a party s beliefs and ideas in 1958 the supreme court ruled unanimously that alabama could not even require the naacp to reveal its membership list without violating the first amendment nevertheless wyoming s state legislature has both taken over the membership lists of our political parties and used its power to influence their internal decisions these deep encroachments on first amendment rights were no doubt made with good intentions since the county clerks already had the equipment the voter registry and the expertise to run elections why not piggyback party primaries onto municipal and county elections this arrangement made sense until government officials began to exert state control over party primaries governments have the authority to register voters but they have no inherent right to track party affiliation it is only by the leave of political parties that the state can do so nevertheless this summer the secretary of state usurped control of the party registration lists and directed county clerks to withhold information from elected party officers as the joint corporations committee discusses lso 190 voter registry list at friday s meeting it would do well to keep naacp v alabama in mind that landmark case requires states to keep their noses out of party membership lists not to withhold party membership information from the parties themselves but it gets worse in 2021 the wyoming republican party central committee overwhelmingly voted to conduct its primary elections by way of run off instead of plurality voting a vote at the statewide convention ought to have been enough to effect this change instead the gop had to take it to the state legislature where current house leadership would not even let it be considered 2020 wyoming gop convention gillette now the joint corporations committee has asked for bill draft lso 0192 election revisions to introduce ranked choice voting runoff elections make certain that a clear majority of the party supports the party s candidate this bill strips political parties of their right even to have a party candidate the entire point of forming political parties was to use the power of free assembly to petition the government for a single candidate of the party s choosing to be listed on the november ballot ranked choice voting hijacks this process and bypasses the political parties altogether it is such a total takeover of party primaries that citizens are stripped of any power to organize in the fielding of candidates elected legislators whether democrat or republican libertarian or constitutional who don t want runoff elections can petition their own party convention for the type of election that suits them but never should they use state power to override the will of parties any reduction of the power of individuals to organize is a power grab by the state this is a first amendment issue but it rests on something even deeper the very reason that the united states constitution recognizes the right of free assembly and petition is because it recognizes the more fundamental power of friendship mobs have awesome power but friends acting in agreement can even turn aside an angry mob the mob has power because it is large and it is loud friends have power because they care about each other and are willing to defer to one another for a greater cause we should not confuse these powers both cooperate to get things done but mobs can be manipulated by heartless crowd psychology while friends who defer willingly are more stable and less easily manipulated mobs use the vote to dominate the loser while friends use the vote to find the candidate or idea that they want to put forward it is the willingness to defer and not the power of the vote that gives the party power that s why good legislation will always prefer to give power to parties rather than to mobs posted by jonathan lange at 3 54 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday october 7 2022 get ready for fireworks at next friday s corporations committee meeting joint corporations committee 2021 photo credit nick reynolds next friday s meeting of the joint corporations elections and political subdivisions committee in cheyenne is slated to take up a number of controversial bill drafts relating to wyoming elections log on at 8 30am and break out the popcorn the day starts tamely enough with a continued discussion lso 132 political expenditures it proposes a federal constitutional amendment to restrict the flow of dark money in political campaigns the remainder of the morning is devoted to the secretary of state s office presenting an election fraud investigation of the coal country conservatives ccc this pac with a budget of 1 800 registered with the fec but the campbell county clerk wanted them investigated for not also registering with the sos office wyoming statute is explicit that federal political action committees shall not be required to file with the sos if the committee is required to comply with federal election law reporting requirements wyo stat 22 25 106 g the ccc pac s 1 800 is dwarfed by the western conservatives pac s 355 133 spent to unseat conservatives it seems small potatoes and a strange use of two and a half hours of the committee s time on the upside it is heartening to know that some people can allege election fraud without being labeled as election deniers after the lunch break the bill draft lso 191 municipal nonpartisan ranked choice elections will be discussed this proposes to bring utah s ranked choice voting rcv to wyoming cities can deny any political party the right to run municipal officers of their own choosing rather rcv imposes a uni party scheme that transfers the votes of the loser to a second choice candidate and counts the ballots again lso 192 election revisions will be the next bill draft considered it would prohibit political parties from fielding a candidate of their own choosing for statewide or federal office instead rcv would be used to select four candidates regardless of party for listing on the november ballot rcv is currently bluing states like california delaware colorado oregon minnesota massachusetts michigan and alaska both rcv bills neuter political parties such a deliberate kneecapping of party relevance begs the question of why we have them in the first place we will discuss this in a future column next up is lso 190 voter registry list it would stipulate that when asked county clerks must provide voter registry lists with voter i d numbers and absentee ballot data this is a good thing the bill was necessitated by a unilateral change in policy on the part of the sos office prior to 2022 candidates and interested citizens routinely requested and received this information but this summer the sos office without legislative approval instructed county clerks not to release that information any longer lso 196 vacancies in elected office is designed to strip political parties of their statutory rights in filling vacancies to elected office currently when a republican or democrat resigns from office the state central committee of that party must give the governor three nominees from which he chooses a replacement this bill would end that long standing law lso 189 election equipment federal certification tethers wyoming election laws to the changing recommendations of the federal election assistance commission eac and the voluntary voting system guidelines vvsgs that are farmed out to the technical guidelines development committee tgdc thus wyoming s elected and accountable state officials will no longer be answerable to voters for their own competence and judgment instead they will blindly impose whatever new edicts these anonymous and opaque federal bureaucracies might decree in the future lso 271 specified election records not subject to disclosure would alter state statutes to prevent wyoming citizens from examining cast ballots cast ballot images and cast vote records in response to dozens of public records requests from citizens county clerks all over wyoming have claimed that the constitution prohibits release of these records the committee obviously thinks this claim is dubious but rather than instruct the clerks to follow the law it drafted a bill to put these election records out of reach so much for transparency for its final act the committee will take up lso 186 wyoming elections commission this drastically alters wyoming s long standing law by stripping the secretary of state of his election oversight duties it is hard to read this bill as anything other than a slap in the face of every primary voter who went to the polls to vote for election reform rarely do committee meetings promise to be as electric and noteworthy as this one if you are interested in any of these topics make your way to the capitol extension w006 next friday

europe was locked in a death grip involving the liberal democracy of london the fascism of berlin and the communism of stalingrad james burnham published the managerial revolution in it he noticed that even though they were mortal enemies they also shared a common unhuman impulse the trend had already been working its leaven through the world s governments for more than half a century true to its enlightenment roots it discounted and devalued the soul the local the individual and the unique rather than honoring these as the very heart of human existence it saw them as irrelevant differences that could be tolerated only so long as they did not interfere with the rational uniformity imposed by the detached and scientific management of experts in increasingly specialized fields stalinism imposed uniformity through a brutal centralized governing apparatus nazism imposed uniformity through collusion between government and business london and washington used the tools of democracy to build bureaucracies that were nominally under the control of the executive branch but in reality imposed uniformity through impersonal and anonymous bureaucrats in the fourscore years since burnham s book appeared hot and cold wars between overt totalitarianism and the façade of liberalism have continued unabated all while the managerial revolution has continued unrelentingly had we paid more attention to burnham we would have foreseen the global dominance of fast food chains defense industries high finance and big tech lest i lose my reader in the weeds it is time to cut to
