State Democrats Block Ivermectin Treatments, Kill Public Comment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A bill in the Virginia state Senate that would have allowed health-care providers to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine was blocked by Democrats after they shut down a public comment session and ordered state Capitol police officers to remove citizens from the chamber.

As the Democratic majority on the Senate Education and Health Committee moved to kill the Republican bill, Democratic committee Chairwoman Sen. Louise Lucas cut the remote audio feed of Charlottesville radio show host Rob Schilling as he expressed support for the legislation, reported the National File.

After the 9-6 party-line vote, Lucas banged her gavel and ordered police officers to remove the doctors, family members of COVID patients and others who came to speak in favor of the bill.

“Virginians are dying,” a woman who was ordered to leave shouted.

Holding up a copy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci,” she said of the the White House coronavirus adviser who has suppressed the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, “People across this nation are dying as a result of this man.” (Read more from “State Democrats Block Ivermectin Treatments, Kill Public Comment” HERE)

Federal Judge Blocks Enforcement of Biden’s Federal Employee Vax Mandate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in Texas blocked the Biden administration from enforcing its Covid-19 jab mandate for federal employees on Friday.

President Joe Biden first issued an executive order demanding more than 3.5 million federal workers get the shot before Nov. 22. If employees didn’t comply, they could lose their jobs.

In the Friday ruling, Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas said that until litigation regarding Biden’s federal mandate is decided, the Democrat administration and government cannot force the private medical decision on Americans “with the stroke of a pen and without input from Congress.”

“While vaccines are undoubtedly the best way to avoid serious illness from COVID-19, there is no reason to believe that the public interest cannot be served via less restrictive measures than the mandate, such as masking, social distancing, or part- or full-time remote work,” Brown wrote. “Stopping the spread of COVID-19 will not be achieved by overbroad policies like the federal-worker mandate.” (Read more from “Federal Judge Blocks Enforcement of Biden’s Federal Employee Vax Mandate” HERE)

Fauci Pushing to Get COVID Vaccines Approved for Children Under 5

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite the federal government data and the acknowledgment of health officials that healthy children are statistically at zero risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19, that the vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission of the virus, and that the current omicron variant presents with mild symptoms, White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said he hopes the Food and Drug Administration will approve Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine for children under 5 years old in the next month.

Further, Fauci said three vaccine doses likely will be needed, because Pfizer found in its clinical trials in children ages 2 to 4 that two shots did not induce an adequate immune response.

In stark contrast, the World Health Organization’s chief scientist said this week that healthy children and adolescents don’t need COVID-19 vaccine booster doses.

“There is no evidence right now that healthy children or healthy adolescents need boosters. No evidence at all,” said Soumya Swaminathan at a news briefing Tuesday. . .

Fauci said in an interview Wednesday with Blue Star Families that he hopes the FDA will grant approval “within the next month or so and not much later than that, but I can’t guarantee that.” (Read more from “Fauci Pushing to Get COVID Vaccines Approved for Children Under 5” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The State Department on Sunday ordered the families of all American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine to leave the country amid heightened fears of a Russian invasion.

The department told the dependents of staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv that they must leave the country. It also said that non-essential embassy staff could leave Ukraine at government expense.

The move came amid rising tensions about Russia’s military buildup on the Ukraine border that were not eased during talks Friday between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva.

Poll Finds 60 Percent Would Vote Against Biden if Election Was Held Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

Six in 10 Americans would vote for someone other than President Biden if the 2024 presidential election was held today — a rate higher than his predecessors Barack Obama and Donald Trump, according to a poll released Sunday.

Asked if the election were held today, 60 percent said they would “probably” or “definitely” vote for someone else, compared to 36 percent who said they would “definitely” or “probably” re-elect Biden, the survey by Fox News shows.

Fifty-two percent said they would vote for someone other than Trump if it were February 2020, and 51 percent said they would select somebody other than Obama if it were August 2011.

The survey also shows the deep dissatisfaction Americans feel for Biden’s handling of the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic, border security and foreign policy. (Read more from “Poll Finds 60 Percent Would Vote Against Biden if Election Was Held Now” HERE)

Carhartt Boycotted for Keeping Vax Mandate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Many social media users are calling for a boycott of Carhartt, a company renowned for producing gear for blue-collar workers, over its decision to double down on a vaccine mandate following the Supreme Court’s ruling against the Biden administration’s mandate for the private sector.

On January 14, a day after the court’s decision, Carhartt CEO Mark Valade sent an email to employees stating the company would keep its mandate in place.

“The ruling does not change Carhartt’s mandatory vaccination program, which went into effect on January 4th,” Valade wrote.

“We put workplace safety at the very top of our priority list and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling doesn’t impact that core value,” Valade’s email goes on to state. “We, and the medical community, continue to believe vaccines are necessary to ensure a safe working environment for every associate and even perhaps their households.”

Carhartt’s decision to uphold its company mandate was met with outrage by conservative customers, many of whom announced they would boycott the brand. (Read more from “Carhartt Boycotted for Keeping Vax Mandate” HERE)

’I’m Angry’: Black Democrats Souring on Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Now, one year into his presidency, Biden is hoping he can maintain the support of Black voters, even as his failure to deliver on voting rights legislation and other issues has left some loyalists dispirited. Of the many challenges he confronts as he enters his second year, few are as important as retaining the strong backing from his party’s base.

Just 6 in 10 Black Americans said they approved of Biden in a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, down from about 9 in 10 who approved in polls conducted through the first six months of Biden’s presidency.

“I’m perplexed. At some points, I’m angry. I’m trying to see if there is anything redeeming,” said George Hart, 73, a professor and faculty adviser to the student chapter of the NAACP at Benedict College, a historically Black institution in Columbia. “I’m just so disillusioned, I don’t know what to say.

State University’s ‘Inclusive Language Guide’ Says ‘Grandfather,’ ‘Housekeeping’ Are ‘Problematic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The University of Washington’s Information Technology department released an “inclusive language guide” outlining terms it considers to be “problematic” over concerns that the words are “racist, sexist, ageist, ableist, homophobic or otherwise non-inclusive.”

The guide, created with input from “dozens of people” throughout the department, claims that “grandfather,” “housekeeping,” “lame” and “cakewalk” are among the “problematic words” that need to be replaced.

The term “grandfather” was deemed “problematic” because it was used “as a way to exempt some people from a change because of conditions that existed before the change” and due it originating in the American South in the 1890s “as a way to defy the 15th Amendment and prevent black Americans from voting.” The guide asks that “legacy” or “exempt” be used in its place.

“Housekeeping,” the guide claims, needs to be replaced because it “can feel gendered” because it “carries a fraught history and connotation of women’s traditional domestic role as housekeepers.” The department recommended that “maintenance” or “cleanup” be used instead.

The guide says that “lame,” commonly a slang term for “uncool,” is an issue because it is “ableist.” and is often used “with a negative connotation describing the disability.” (Read more from “State University’s ‘Inclusive Language Guide’ Says ‘Grandfather,’ ‘Housekeeping’ Are ‘Problematic'” HERE)

Woman Charged After Threatening to Show Up to Child’s School With Guns in Protest of Mask Mandate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Virginia woman was charged by police after she threatened to bring loaded firearms to her child’s school over the district’s mask mandate.

Amelia Ruffner King was charged Friday night with a violation of a Virginia statute stating that oral threats of bodily harm on school property are not allowed, a Class 1 misdemeanor.

She was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond, and police will have an increased presence at the school on Monday, according to the Luray Police Department.

During a Page County School Board meeting held Thursday to discuss Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R) executive order allowing parents to opt-out of mask requirements, King blasted the board over the mask mandate that was still in place, video footage shows.

“My child — my children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on. All right, that’s not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to — I will call every—,” King explained before she was interrupted by school officials.

If Trump Had Greenlighted Russia to Invade Ukraine Like Biden Just Did, He’d Be Accused of Corruption

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden was actually operating from a coherent perspective in discussing Russia and Ukraine in Wednesday’s press conference: In every instance, as you go line-for-line in the transcript, his foreign policy—and the fact that he announced it to the world—is one where Russia has leverage over Biden and the president has a personal vendetta against the current Ukrainian government.

When asked whether sanctions would deter Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine, our commander in chief replied that Russia “will be held accountable if it invades,” but then clarified: “It depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.” Biden then juxtaposed a “minor incursion,” which would lead to a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) fight over how to respond, with Russia doing “what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border.”

In that case, Biden assured the audience—which surely included Putin and his top military leaders—“our allies and partners are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy.” Biden then proceeded to ramble aloud his internal thoughts on Putin’s thinking before adding, in reference to Ukraine, “My guess is he will move in. He has to do something.” . . .

For years, the anti-Trump contingent used the Steele dossier and its claim that Russia held leverage over the president to fan the flames of a Trump-Russia conspiracy. But the Russia-leverage narrative extended beyond the discredited dossier and continued throughout Trump’s term.

For instance, in a May 2019 article titled, “Donald Trump’s Foreign Policy ‘Is One Where Russia Has Leverage Over Him,’ Former CIA Official Says,” Newsweek discussed a former CIA and defense official’s appearance on MSNBC. Appearing on the cable network’s “Morning Joe,” Jeremy Bash “argued that Trump’s international policies appear to be impacted by Russian ‘leverage over him’” the Newsweek article explained.
