Supreme Court to Hear Case of High School Football Coach Who Was Sacked for Praying on Field

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court said Friday it would hear the case of a Washington state high school football coach who was sacked for praying on the field after games.

Joseph Kennedy, who was barred from coaching football at Bremerton High School in 2015, will have his case heard by the high court in April, his attorneys said. The coach was a graduate of the school who coached there from 2008 to 2015.

“Six years away from the football field has been far too long. I am extremely grateful that the Supreme Court is going to hear my case and pray that I will soon be able to be back on the field coaching the game and players I love,” Mr. Kennedy said in a statement.

Mr. Kennedy said he was suspended from the final game of the season in 2015 by the Bremerton School District. School officials said Mr. Kennedy’s private prayer at the 50-yard line — which had been allowed for seven years beforehand — violated the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause, which bars governments from establishing a state religion. Students occasionally gathered around him, although he said he never invited their participation. The district offered to let him pray in an off-field press box or “an athletic facility,” but forbade his praying on the field.

Nearly 50% Say Biden Is Dividing the Country

/0 Comments/in , /by

A plurality of Americans feel as though President Biden is dividing the country, despite his original pledge to unify, a Quinnipiac University Poll released this week found.

The survey, taken January 7-10, 2022, among 1,313 adults, asked respondents, “Do you feel that President Biden is doing more to unite the country or is doing more to divide the country?”

A plurality, 49 percent, said they feel as though Biden is doing more to divide the country, while 42 percent say he is uniting. However, that is outside of the survey’s +/- 2.7 percent margin of error.

Opinions are sharply divided on party lines, as 92 percent of Republicans say Biden is doing more to divide the country, compared to 84 percent of Democrats who say Biden is doing more to unite the country. Half of independents, however, believe he is doing more to divide the nation. (Read more from “Nearly 50% Say Biden Is Dividing the Country” HERE)

Judge Shames Elderly Cancer Patient Too Weak to Mow His Lawn

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan judge is coming under fire after video surfaced of her shaming and fining a 72-year-old cancer patient in court who said he’s too weak to maintain his lawn, with the judge exclaiming that she wished she could put the elderly man in jail for not keeping up his yard.

District Judge Alexis G. Krot, who presides over the 31st District Court in Michigan, delivered perhaps one of the most disgusting diatribes from the bench earlier in January – shaming an elderly cancer patient and wishing she could throw him in jail because he admitted to being too frail to personally maintain the weeds growing in his back yard.

During a January 10th virtual court appearance, 72-year-old Burhan Chowdhury appeared before Judge Krot over an August 2021 citation he’d received regarding overgrown vegetation that had begun to protrude through portions of the alleyway along the back of his property. Judge Krot read off the details of the civil infraction, telling Chowdhury he can plead “responsible, responsible with explanation, or not responsible.” In response, Chowdhury explained through labored breathing that he is simply not physically able to pull the weeds from his yard due to his cancer diagnosis.

January 6th Committee Subpoenas Google, Twitter, Facebook

/0 Comments/in , /by

The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riots on Thursday subpoenaed Twitter, Facebook, and other big tech companies in an effort to determine how rioters coordinated on their platforms.

The House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack also subpoenaed Reddit and Alphabet, Google’s parent company. In a letter, the committee said it was investigating “what steps—if any—social media companies took to prevent their platforms from being breeding grounds for radicalizing people to violence.”

The letter named Facebook, now called Meta, and YouTube, an Alphabet subsidiary, as particularly negligent. But it said all four companies subpoenaed were “unwilling to commit to voluntarily and expeditiously” cooperating with the committee. The committee also said “Twitter has failed to disclose critical information.”

In the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6 riots, several big tech platforms cut off access to conservative social media site Parler, blaming it for hosting the planning of the riot. But recent investigations found many of the rioters organized on large platforms like Facebook. Some rioters live-streamed their entrances to the Capitol on YouTube.

‘It’s Over, People’: WHO Warns AGAINST Vaccine Mandates, Repeated Booster Shots; E.U. Admits Frequent Booster Shots Weaken Body’s Immune System

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. The World Health Organization said in a statement that a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original COVID-19 vaccines is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.

Recognizing the inability of the shots to stop the spread, the U.N. health agency said future vaccines against COVID-19 must “be more effective in protection against infection thus lowering community transmission.”

“It’s over, people,” was the response from Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter who has devoted his independent reporting to the pandemic, publishing several books on the subject.

“Aside from a few unlucky Israelis, no one is going to receive a fourth dose of the original vaccine; everyone with eyes can see it doesn’t work against Omicron,” he wrote on his Substack page.

Separately, on Wednesday, the WHO said vaccination status should not be used to disqualify people from traveling internationally, advising governments to implement vaccine mandates only as a “last resort.” (Read more from “‘It’s Over, People’: Who Warns Against Vaccine Mandates, Repeated Booster Shots” HERE)

E.U. Admits Frequent Booster Shots Weaken Body’s Immune System

By WND. With some countries considering a fourth booster shot amid the waning effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, the European Union’s top health agency is warning that getting boosted ever four months could harm the immune system’s ability to fight off the disease.

The European Medicines Agency advised countries instead to mirror the seasonal influenza vaccination strategy tied to the onset of the cold season, Bloomberg News reported.

In January, Israel became the first nation to administer a fourth shot, targeting those over 60.

The EMA’s head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy, Marco Cavaleri, spoke at a press briefing Tuesday.

“We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting,” he said. (Read more from “E.U. Admits Frequent Booster Shots Weaken Body’s Immune System” HERE)

Volunteers Scramble to Rescue Afghan Allies Abandoned by U.S. State Department

/0 Comments/in , /by

A video of the commandos’ execution was sent to members of Operation North Star, an all-volunteer organization working tirelessly to secure safe haven for thousands of Afghan allies abandoned by the State Department in post-withdrawal Afghanistan.

After watching the video hundreds of times in search of Rambo, volunteers “assumed the worst,” according to Ben Owen, a former U.S. Army infantryman and president of Flanders Fields, a nonprofit that raises funds for evacuation organizations Operation North Star and Task Force Argo.

Two weeks ago, Flanders Fields received a request to acquire a safe house in Afghanistan for an unidentified high-value target. An hour later, Owen received a pixelated photo of a familiar Afghan man being embraced by his family members on the safe house floor. Rambo had escaped Taliban captivity.

Maintaining Rambo’s safety presents constant monetary and logistical struggles for Flanders Fields and Operation North Star. Rambo “is essentially trapped in a meat grinder with his family,” according to a former U.S. Army recon platoon sergeant and Operation North Star volunteer we will call Duke. Rambo had inadequate time to apply for the documents the State Department requires to enter the United States prior to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Applying for the passport the Taliban require to exit Afghanistan would also put Rambo’s life at risk.

The Jan. 6 Investigation We Need Is Into the Unlawful Military Occupation of D.C.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Roughly one year ago, on Jan. 8, 2021, acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller unwittingly requested that I assist him in committing an unlawful act by using our National Guard soldiers and airmen as a domestic police force against American citizens in response to the events of Jan. 6, 2021. As the commanding general of the Arizona National Guard, I refused, because the request was clearly unlawful.

I placed my objections to Miller’s request in writing on Jan. 15, 2021. Since then, these clear violations of U.S. law have been ignored by the Department of Defense (DoD), corporate media, and even the House of Representatives’ Select Committee tasked with investigating the events of Jan. 6.

On Jan. 8, 2021, in response to the unrest two days earlier, DoD requested every state to mobilize National Guard troops to the nation’s capital. Fifty-three of the 54 U.S. states and territories granted that request, and Arizona stood alone in opposition to the unlawful request.

The Posse Comitatus Act, Department of Defense Directive 3025.18, and Department of Defense Instruction 3025.21 prohibit the use of military personnel to execute civilian laws, making it unlawful for a government official to use military members to police civilians in the United States. Unless properly authorized, using military members to engage in search, seizure, arrest, apprehension, stop and frisk, brandishing a weapon, security functions, crowd and traffic control, operating, manning, or staffing checkpoints, or surveillance or pursuit of individuals is simply illegal. Those, of course, include some of the exact illegal activities demanded by Mr. Miller and other senior military officials.

To be sure, officials may attempt to argue that the prohibitions against military policing civilians do not apply when those soldiers and airmen are under the control of their respective governors. Yet Department of Defense regulations implementing the Posse Comitatus Act are clear and run contrary to this position.

Major Newspaper Triggers Firestorm Calling Pedophilia ‘Misunderstood’

/0 Comments/in , /by

USA Today has triggered a firestorm of reaction by describing pedophilia as “misunderstood,” according to a column by Ben Johnson at the Daily Wire.

The article suggested that the attitude, sometimes described by supporters as involving those who are “minor-attracted,” is “among the most misunderstood” in America and it is no more than “inappropriate.”

What should happen is that it should be the subject of a “destigmatizing” efforts, the report said.

“Pedophilia is viewed as among the most horrifying social ills. But scientists who study the sexual disorder say it is also among the most misunderstood,” reported Alia E. Dastagir. “Researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action, and using it interchangeably with ‘abuse’ fuels misperceptions” about pedophiles.

The article said, “When most of the public thinks of pedophilia, they assume it’s synonymous with child sexual abuse, a pervasive social problem that has exploded to crisis levels online.” (Read more from “Major Newspaper Triggers Firestorm Calling Pedophilia ‘Misunderstood'” HERE)

Report: Transgender Student Accused of Raping Ninth-Grade Girl in a High School Bathroom Receives Sentencing

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Loudoun County student accused of raping a ninth-grade girl in a high school bathroom was reportedly sentenced to residential treatment Wednesday.

Loudoun Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Judge Pamela Brooks pushed back the teen’s initial sentencing date to allow him to undergo a “psychosexual evaluation.” Brooks claimed the results of the evaluation “scared” her. The trial also uncovered that the rapist allegedly attacked a third girl, according to The Daily Wire.

“Over the years this court has read many psychosexual reports, and when I read yours, frankly, it scared me,” Brooks said. “It scared me for you, it scared me for society.”

The judge stated that she has never ordered juveniles to enter the sex offender registry, but made an exception for the Loudoun County teen.

“I am ordering you onto the sexual offender registry,” the judge said. (Read more form “Report: Transgender Student Accused of Raping Ninth-Grade Girl in a High School Bathroom Receives Sentencing HERE)

Coke, Strip Clubs and Hookers: Tell-All Memoir From Hunter Biden’s Ex-wife Won’t Shy Away From Salacious Details

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle is set to release a tell-all memoir detailing how addiction and infidelity ended her 24-year marriage to President Joe Biden’s son.

Buhle’s book, titled “If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction and Healing,” is described by the publisher as a “page-turning and heartbreaking” memoir that chronicles her upbringing, marriage to Hunter and the lessons she learned through the divorce. It is due to hit shelves June 14.

“I felt like I’d lost my sense of who I was. Anyone who has seen addiction ruin a relationship, or been through infidelity and divorce, can tell you how devastating it feels. But what I also realized through those crushing experiences is that I needed to find a way to stand on my own,” Buhle told People.

Separating in October 2015, details of the couple’s troubled relationship became public in 2017 after Buhle filed for divorce. The resulting court documents detailed how Biden squandered money on “hookers, strip clubs and drugs.” Six weeks before the divorce was finalized in April 2017, it was revealed that Biden was openly having an affair with his dead brother’s widow, Hallie.
