This Comprehensive Sexuality Education sounds like a political scam to allow creatures with penises & testicles in women's rooms.

KOKO, RISA VOTED 'NO' TO 2025 BUDGET BICAM REPORT Then-Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel and then-Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros voted against the ratification of the Bicameral Conference Committee Report on the 2025 General Appropriations Bill (House Bill 10800) on December 16, 2024. In explaining her vote, Hontiveros warned that the bicam version of the budget "crippled essential services while expanding unprogrammed funds." She pointed out that the state subsidy for PhilHealth was reduced to zero despite the Universal Health Care Act and the Sin Tax Reform Act mandating such funding. The senator also flagged ₱37.59 billion in cuts from the Department of Health, a ₱50-billion reduction in the 4Ps program, and major slashes in education budgets—₱15.17 billion from the Department of Education and ₱11.77 billion from the Commission on Higher Education. She further raised concerns over the unexplained delisting of 41 foreign-assisted projects and the rejection of funding for Anti-Red Tape Authority regional offices. Hontiveros criticized the bicam for raising unprogrammed appropriations to ₱531.6 billion while slashing life-saving and future-oriented programs, calling the move "misplaced prioritization at the expense of Filipinos' health, welfare, and education."

Sara Duterte requests P10 million budget to print and distribute a self-authored book for children A heated exchange broke out in the Philippine Senate after opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros (Akbayan) asked Vice President Sara Duterte what is the contents of the book for which the Office of the Vice President requested P10 million as part of its campaign to give 1 million school bags to impoverished school children. After Sen. Hontiveros said she will file a motion to have the requested budget of the OVP be instead given to other government agencies as part of streamlining overlapping public services, VP Sara Duterte proceeded to get defensive, accusing Sen. Hontiveros of politicizing the budget and going after her whilst reminded the lady senator that Davao City and the Dutertes helped elect Hontiveros to national office. Sen. Hontiveros replied by saying that only Duterte seems fixated on votes and China during the hearing, ending her statements with the words, "This is public funds and we are making inquiries. Budget hearing po ito. Di po lahat about you. Pera po ito ng taong-bayan"

She also cited President Marcos’ certification of the measure as urgent. “Malakas ang pag-asa ko ngayon dahil tingin ko for the first time in so many Congresses, malakas ang tsansa natin… If we take this ball and run with it, ngayon kaya na nating ipanalo,” she says. | Eimor Santos

🚨In Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, we heard him promote respect for international rules of law and global norms while doing the opposite here in Canada. Right now, through the Budget Implementation Act, Mark Carney has proposed giving Cabinet Ministers the authority to exempt any individual, business, or organization from almost any federal law or regulation, with the sole exception of the Criminal Code and with very few meaningful limits. That alone should shock Canadians, but it gets worse. Under this proposal, a minister would be allowed to keep secret any information about those exemptions that the minister personally decides would be “inappropriate” to make public. So let’s be clear about what this means. We are told to respect the rule of law internationally while, at home, the Liberal government seeks the power to secretly decide who must follow the law, and who does not. That is an extraordinary level of double talk. And as a former banker, I find it equally troubling that Mark Carney is deliberately playing with the definition of “capital investment,” breaking from long-standing international financial standards, in order to deceive Canadians about the true size of the operating deficit. You cannot preach respect for international rules and standards abroad while undermining them at home. So the questions are simple: Will he respect the rule of law in Canada and retract the proposal that allows Cabinet ministers to secretly exempt entities from almost any federal law? Will he respect international financial standards in our own public accounts and stop hiding the true deficit from Canadians? #cdnpoli

$At the Capitol this past week, Senate Bill 135 passed committee, framed as an education funding bill. But the fine print tells a different story. The bill would alter TABOR’s limits and could permanently end TABOR refunds. Only a small fraction of the new revenue would be required to go to education in the first year, while roughly $600 million could flow into the state’s General Fund for “any other purpose.” That means much of the money wouldn’t necessarily reach classrooms, teachers, or students, it would simply give lawmakers a blank check. #copolitics$

I am glad that the National Assembly has approved the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (Amendment) Bill, which I sponsored. Going forward, contracts below Ksh 1Billion will ONLY be awarded to local contractors. For contracts over ksh 1Billion, international firms will have to enter into joint ventures with local firms for them to be awarded contracts. This will ensure that our local firms benefit through capacity building and technology transfer from the international firms. Historically, Kenyan firms have been sidelined, and therefore, the Bill will ensure that local entrepreneurs are given a chance to compete effectively. Issues of delayed payment will be a thing of the past as the Bill seeks to provide efficient contractor payment, enabling a more vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem and cashflow for sustaining economic activities. Overall, the Bill seeks to address the inefficiencies in the public procurement systems while promoting transparency and accountability. Most importantly, the Bill will empower local contractors and ensure their competitiveness by curbing monopolies and unfair competition. This will enhance inclusive growth for our local contractors. The Bill embodies our commitment to fostering economic inclusivity, promoting local enterprises, and ensuring public procurement serves as a strategic tool for national development. #KKSeason3Loading #Molo

Virginia Gov. Youngkin vetoes bill allowing African American history classes to count toward graduation. He said African American history was not "germane to the comprehensive goals of high school education standards." "No one was going to be required to offer these classes," said bill sponsor. "It was simply going to be a choice for students and parents." HB 2103 would have permitted—not required—students to substitute African American History for either World History or Geography. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Now, unfortunately, we see that at some levels in the world there is simply a shameful indifference to the ecocide and human tragedy caused by the Russian terrorist attack on the Kakhovka HPP. When international organizations that are supposed to protect life on a global scale do not have time to organize and send a rescue mission to the occupied territory even in a week... When some world players do not dare to come out even with clear and strong statements that would condemn this new Russian war crime... Terrorists are simply fueled by this weakness of the world, this indifference – it encourages them. And we have to overcome this. And we will overcome. We are pressing and encouraging so that international organizations and international support come to the part of Kherson region where the occupiers are now.

If you think you can Cajole this man here that I’m listening too, then you must be high on crack. The Tax bill will be passed into law! I don’t have 20 years to spare on this bill and its implementation! Just like The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) that finally passed by the National Assembly in July 2021 and assented into law as the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 (PIA) by the President Buhari on 16th August 2021. It took 20 years to pass this bill. Absolute nonsense!

Tomorrow I will vote no on Bill C-9. The Liberals' decision to shut down debate on this deeply concerning Bill and rush its passage through the House is wrong. I submitted to the House a petition from local faith leaders that warned of the dangers of ignoring the concerns of Canada's many faith communities regarding Bill C-9. Civil liberty groups and major unions echoed these concerns. C-9 will only chill freedom of speech and weaken our ability to combat hate. It should not be passed.
