Arizona AG Defends Maricopa Audit Against ‘Hysterical’ Criticism

Arizona’s attorney general today warned the Biden Justice Department to back off its criticism of the state Senate’s audit of the Maricopa County 2020 vote, charging that it was giving into “hysterical” liberal Trump haters.

“My office is not amused by the DOJ’s posturing and will not tolerate any effort to undermine or interfere with our State Senate’s audit to reassure Arizonans of the accuracy of our elections,” wrote Attorney General Mark Brnovich to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“We stand ready to defend federalism and state sovereignty against any partisan attacks or federal overreach,” he added.

Garland last week mocked election audits like those in Maricopa County. “Many of the justifications proffered in support of these post-election audits and restrictions on voting have relied on assertions of material vote fraud in the 2020 election that have been refuted by law enforcement and intelligence agencies,” he said.

Biden Border Crisis Worsens: Feds Build More Migrant Detention Facilities

Construction is set to begin on temporary detention facilities at the Border Patrol’s Interstate 35 checkpoint and other locations in Laredo, Texas. The shelters are military-style general-purpose tents and can house 60 people per tent. Plans for the climate-controlled structures, designed only for short-term detention, do not include funding for contract personnel to staff the facilities.

According to a law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Laredo Sector is accepting hundreds of migrant transfers from the Del Rio Sector. The source says nearly 100 migrants are transferred from Del Rio to Laredo, Texas daily.

Del Rio, Texas experienced a surge in the crossing of Haitian and Venezuelan nationals and currently leads the Border Patrol in the apprehension rates for those two demographics. According to the source, Del Rio is continuing to see large numbers of migrants from those two countries entering in numbers exceeding 100 daily.

The source also suspects the move is timed to coincide with a potential for the discontinuation of the Centers for Disease Controls (CDC) Emergency COVID-19 declaration (Title 42) that allows for the speedy expulsion of single adults and certain family units to Mexico within hours of their apprehension. Migrants who illegally enter the country from Mexico and the northern triangle Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador are subject to immediate expulsion under CDC’s Title 42 Authority.

Defective COVID Shots Given at NYC Vaccination Site

. . .The operator of the pop-up COVID vaccination site in the former “NFL Experience” building in Times Square sent out an emergency notice informing 899 patients that it erroneously injected them with expired Pfizer doses.

The patients were told by ATC Healthcare Services that they need to get another shot because the firm “cannot guarantee the effectiveness” of the doses they received.

“We are contacting you concerning the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine you received at Times Square – NFL Experience vaccination site on June 5 to June 10, 2021. It was recognized after the vaccine was administered, that it had been in the freezer beyond the approved time frame prior to it being administered,” David Savitsky said in an email to patients.

A dad of two teen daughters who were given the faulty shots last week was left fuming after getting the email and a phone call from ATC Healthcare about the mix up. . .

The source, who wished to remain anonymous, also wondered how many other patients were given defective doses. (Read more from “Defective COVID Shots Given at NYC Vaccination Site” HERE)

Ratings Plunge Dramatically as Kids’ TV Network Goes Gay

Some of America’s children’s TV networks have gone “gay” and are losing their audience, notes the Daily Wire’s Megan Basham.

“Since July of 2017, Nickelodeon’s viewership has dropped from 1.3 million average viewers per week to a June of 2021 average of only 372,000,” she wrote. “In only four years, Nickelodeon has dropped more than two thirds of its audience. That is catastrophically bad for the cable channel, but with cable on the way out, maybe it’s not so bad? The catch here is that it is, in fact, that bad and perhaps worse, simply because Nickelodeon seems to be the primary driving force behind new subscribers to Paramount+.”

She explained that Nickelodeon’s “hard push to promote the LGBTQ agenda to children is having a negative impact on the network’s ratings.”

“In the last two weeks, both Nickelodeon and its preschool-targeted network, Nick Jr., have released videos championing ‘trans,’ ‘queer,’ and ‘pansexual’ inclusion. One video that sparked mass outrage depicted a cartoon version of drag queen Nina West singing about various LGBTQIA groups ‘[loving] each other so proudly’ on ‘Blues Clues and You,’ a show for two- to five-year olds. That same video showed a female-to-male transgender beaver who appeared to have post-operative surgical scars on its chest,” she wrote.

Further, Nickelodeon posted a video this month featuring West, and it has been overtly celebrating “Pride” events. (Read more from “Ratings Plunge Dramatically as Kids’ TV Network Goes Gay” HERE)

WATCH: Schumer Slaps ‘Retarded’ Label on Disabled Children

. . .Karleigh Jones, a New Zealand athlete at the Special Olympics, explained, “The word retard is considered hate speech because it offends people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as the people that care for and support them.”

None of those opinions, however, prevented Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, from using that label, according to the Washington Examiner.

He labeled disabled children with the “retard” designation during an interview on a podcast called OneNYCHA. . .

Schumer said, about those who are skeptics of the proposed project, “I have found that my whole career. I wanted to build, when I first was an assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregant living place for retarded children, and the whole neighborhood was against it.” (Read more from “WATCH: Schumer Slaps ‘Retarded’ Label on Disabled Children” HERE)

State PAYING People on Unemployment to Return to Work

The Maine state government announced it would be offering $1,500 payments to residents who begin working between June 15-30 in an effort to incentivise residents currently receiving unemployment benefits to return to work.

The state government said the payments, which are part of their “Back to Work” program, will be administered by the Maine Department of Labor and the Department of Economic and Community Development.

On top of the $1,500 payment, residents returning to the workforce in June will be eligible for an additional $1,000 payment, according to the Bangor Daily News.

The program, which operates on a first-come, first-serve basis and has the potential to impact up to 7,500 Maine residents, will use $10 million of federal funds. (Read more from “State PAYING People on Unemployment to Return to Work” HERE)
