‘Teacher of the Year’ Arrested, Charged With Child Sex Crimes

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Fairview Elementary School teacher was arrested Monday in Columbia and charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual battery, especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a child, eight counts of rape, incest and eight counts of rape of a child.

Two victims who are minors were reported by District Attorney General Brent Cooper. Neither are students at Fairview Elementary.

According to Williamson County Schools, Jonathan Ullrich, 50, was placed on unpaid leave after his arrest. The district sent a letter to families and staff notifying them of his arrest and said Principal Dr. Tracy Bullard will communicate directly with families about classroom activities for the remainder of the semester, which ends with a half day Friday.

Ullrich was named FES Elementary School Teacher of the Year at WCS’s annual employee of the year celebration in 2020. However, he has a history of sexual harassment claims against him dating back to 2014. (Read more from “‘Teacher of the Year’ Arrested, Charged With Child Sex Crimes” HERE)

Forcing People Into COVID Vaccines Ignores Important Scientific Information

/0 Comments/in , /by

The attacks on free speech and science are unrelenting. Academic publisher Elsevier’s suppression of an article documenting the myocarditis risk of the COVID-19 vaccines, with no excuse or pretext offered, is incredible enough. Viewed alongside Twitter’s censorship of the American Heart Association, YouTube’s suppression of a panel discussion of vaccine mandates on Capitol Hill, and the Orwellian call by National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins for critics of the government’s COVID-19 policies to be “brought to justice,” the trend is positively chilling.

Now more than ever, we need substantive debate about decisions that affect the health of hundreds of millions of people, including views counter to official positions. Instead, we have National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci’s absurd claim “I represent science” as proof of how one-dimensional our COVID-19 policymaking has become.

These are just a few examples of the wave of censorship that has accompanied COVID-19, uniting government bureaucracies with obedient news media, academia, scientific publishing, and powerful Big Tech companies. Above all, this concerted campaign suppresses all disagreement about topics including potential early treatments, the natural immunity of recovered individuals, and the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Differing viewpoints on these topics are swiftly labeled “disinformation,” but in fact represent principled dissent based on a large and growing body of scientific evidence. . .

In the case of COVID-19 vaccines, the censorship aims to stamp out any questions about a universal vaccination program that, it is now clear, was based on the false premise that low-risk individuals must get vaccinated to halt the spread of COVID-19 and end the pandemic. Almost a year into the global vaccination campaign – and starting long before omicron arrived – all the data stand in stark opposition to this belief.

Rapidly waning vaccine efficacy and COVID-19 surges in countries and regions with high vaccination rates – including Israel, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and now Europe, as well as high-vaccination U.S. states like Vermont – are evidence that vaccinated individuals can spread COVID-19 at rates comparable to the unvaccinated. Multiple studies have shown that viral load in vaccinated individuals with COVID-19 is the same as in the unvaccinated.

Pelosi Fast-Tracks ‘Anti-islamophobia’ Bill to Appease Omar Over Stupid Joke

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a bill on Tuesday that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi fast-tracked to appease leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar after she took offense to a stupid joke made by Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert.

At a recent event, Boebert referred to Omar as being part of the “Jihad Squad.”

“I looked to my left and there she is: Ilhan Omar. And I said, ‘Well, she does not have a backpack, we should be okay,’” Boebert said.

Omar, however, was not satisfied after the pair’s later phone call and demanded action against Boebert. (Read more from “Pelosi Fast-Tracks ‘Anti-islamophobia’ Bill to Appease Omar Over Stupid Joke” HERE)

Republicans Think That People Getting Too Easily Offended Is a Major Problem in the US

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults found that while 84% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents think that people getting too easily offended by other people’s comments represents a major problem in America, while only 50% of Democrats and Democratic leaners felt that way.

Similarly, the survey found that just 40% of Republicans and Republican-leaners think that people making remarks that are very offensive to others is currently a major problem in the nation, while 63% of Democrats and Democrat-leaners consider this to be a major problem.

Overall, the survey which was carried out in July found that 65% of U.S. adults think that people getting too easily offended by what others say is a major problem.

The survey also found that 53% of U.S. adults believe that individuals making comments that are very offensive to other people represents a major problem in the nation.

Many Americans strongly advocate for the importance of upholding the right to free speech, including speech that some people may even find deeply offensive. (Read more from “Republicans Think That People Getting Too Easily Offended Is a Major Problem in the US” HERE)

Elon Musk Dubs Democrat ‘Senator Karen’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk, who was named Time’s “2021 Person of the Year,” referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts as “Senator Karen” after the Democratic lawmaker took aim at him on Twitter.

“Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else,” Warren tweeted.

“Stop projecting!” Musk fired back. He also included the link to a 2019 opinion piece on Fox News titled, “Elizabeth Warren is a fraud — Her lies about being Native American disqualify her from presidency, Senate.”

“You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason,” Musk tweeted. “Please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen.”

Bombshell Report Exposes FBI Officials’ Sexual Escapades With Prostitutes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Four FBI officials engaged in sexual intercourse with foreign prostitutes, according to an internal report.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) concluded an investigation into six FBI officials related to their involvement with foreign prostitutes, finding that four of the officials engaged in sexual intercourse, while a fifth solicited “commercial sex,” according to a report issued Tuesday by the DOJ OIG. A sixth official “committed misconduct” by failing to report the incidents, according to the report.

The place where the officials solicited sex with the prostitutes and the officials’ level of seniority remains unclear. The FBI did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

The investigation also concerned allegations that one of the FBI officials gave a coworker a package containing roughly 100 white pills to be delivered to a foreign law enforcement officer. While investigating, the OIG found that the official in question “lacked candor” when questioned about the pills, denying placing them in a package.

The OIG also uncovered evidence that the individuals involved failed to inform the FBI of their contacts with the prostitutes, some of whom were foreign nationals. (Read more from “Bombshell Report Exposes FBI Officials’ Sexual Escapades With Prostitutes” HERE)

Inside the Hypocrisy of Media Manipulators, Censors Who Claim to Fight Misinformation

/0 Comments/in , /by

There is a new scourge befouling the media landscape, one that our self-appointed mandarins have declared themselves eager to combat: misinformation.

The Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder recently released a report that blamed misinformation for a range of social problems: “Information disorder is a crisis that exacerbates all other crises . . . Information disorder makes any health crisis more deadly. It slows down our response time on climate change. It undermines democracy. It creates a culture in which racist, ethnic, and gender attacks are seen as solutions, not problems. Today, mis- and disinformation have become a force multiplier for exacerbating our worst problems as a society. Hundreds of millions of people pay the price, every single day, for a world disordered by lies.”

With $65 million in backing from investors such as George Soros and Reid Hoffman, the newly organized Project for Good Information also vows to fight fake news wherever it roams. As Recode reported, the group’s marketing materials claim, “Traditional media is failing. Disinformation is flourishing. It’s time for a new kind of media.” The project is run by Democratic operative Tara Hoffman, whose company ACRONYM created the app that spectacularly bungled the Iowa Democratic caucus vote in 2020.

And as Ben Smith reported in The New York Times, the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University has been hosting a series of meetings with major media executives to “help newsroom leaders fight misinformation and media manipulation.” Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has apologized for his platform’s role in spreading misinformation.

House Votes to Hold Mark Meadows in Contempt for Defying Jan. 6 Panel Subpoena

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House of Representatives voted largely along party lines Tuesday to hold former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in contempt after he refused to sit for a deposition with the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.

Just two Republicans — Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — joined all 220 Democrats in recommending that the Justice Department pursue criminal charges against Meadows, a onetime GOP House member from North Carolina who became Donald Trump’s fourth and final White House chief of staff.

The nine-member select committee voted unanimously Monday night to refer its 51-page contempt report against Meadows to the full House, and the panel’s members led Tuesday’s debate in the House Rules Committee and on the chamber floor.

“I have no great desire to be here seeking consideration of this contempt referral. Mr. Meadows was a colleague for more than seven years,” the select committee’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told the Rules Committee. “But that doesn’t excuse his behavior.”

“If anything,” Thompson added, “his time as a member of the House should make him more aware of the potential consequences of defying a congressional subpoena. We have given Mr. Meadows every opportunity to cooperate with our investigation. We have been more than fair.” (Read more from “House Votes to Hold Mark Meadows in Contempt for Defying Jan. 6 Panel Subpoena” HERE)

Hospital Found in Contempt of Court, Subject to $10K per Day Fines After Denying Patient Ivermectin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chris Davies and his father Donald have been fighting for their mother and wife Kathy Davies’ right to try the drug Ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment at Fauquier Health hospital in Warrenton, Virginia, for the past few weeks. But the hospital — where Chris happens to work as a radiologic technologist — had put his mother through a series of legal hoops seemingly designed to block the treatment from being given to her.

On Monday, December 13, Virginia’s 20th Judicial Court found Fauquier Health in contempt of court after refusing to comply with previous orders and ruled that by 9:00 p.m. Eastern time tonight, Kathy Davies must be given the dose of Ivermectin as prescribed by a doctor retained by the Davies family. Additionally — if the hospital did not comply — the state had the right to fine the hospital $10,000 per day. That order would have been applied retroactively from December 9 onwards. The court also ordered that the Davies family be given police escort if necessary to administer the drug to their mother.

But, the court also said that the hospital had an opportunity to purge the contempt charge by complying with the order. The hospital is reportedly now opting to comply with that order after a week of arguing why they could not allow the drug to be given to Kathy Davies as the family requested.

The story offers hope for legal respite for many families who have found themselves in similar situations while trying to battle a medical establishment arguably opposed to any treatment not supported by the FDA to fight COVID-19.

The Davies’ saga started in October when Chris Davies’ mother was admitted to the hospital with COVID-19. She was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit (ICU) on November 3. Donald was to serve as her medical proxy — and after consultation with Chris and his siblings — wanted doctors to give Kathy Ivermectin in hopes of finding success against COVID-19.
