Report: Two Major Airlines Announce They Will Ignore Court Ruling Ending Mask Mandate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two major U.S. airlines have announced that they will continue to enforce Democrat President Joe Biden’s mask mandate on public transportation despite a federal judge ruling on Monday that the mandate was “unlawful” and that it must be “terminate[d].” . . .

The announcement from the two airlines comes after U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle for the Middle District of Florida ruled earlier in the day that the mandate was unlawful because the mandate “exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.”

The ruling said that Court declared the mandate to be unlawful because “our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends.” (Read more from “Report: Two Major Airlines Announce They Will Ignore Court Ruling Ending Mask Mandate” HERE)

Sex, Lies, and UFOs: Pentagon’s Head of Counterintelligence and Security Ousted

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the Pentagon’s Director for Defense Intelligence and a senior executive in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security OUSD(I&S), Garry Reid was in charge of all counterintelligence, security, and law enforcement operations within the Department of Defense.

This, in addition to heading up the Afghanistan Crisis Action Group, the office tasked with evacuating Afghan refugees during America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Now, in an exclusive, The Debrief has learned that Reid was recently dismissed from his responsibilities within the U.S. government.

Before his ousting as Director of Defense Intelligence, Reid had been the subject of a nearly two-year-long investigation by The Debrief. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, multiple current and former Pentagon employees told The Debrief Reid had engaged in wide-ranging misconduct and corruption for years.

In the past four years, the DoD’s Inspector General’s Office had investigated Reid on numerous allegations, including maintaining a sexual relationship with a subordinate employee, sexual harassment, and fostering a hostile work environment.

Worried About 2022? Senate Democrat Now Pushing to Build Border Wall (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) recently toured two sectors along the U.S.-Mexico border and called for more security as the crisis that started under President Joe Biden appears set to become worse once Title 42 is no longer enforced after May 23.

Hassan visited and spoke with Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, which leads the nation in arrests for illegal immigrants, and the Tucson Sector. Hassan called for a border wall, along with more personnel and technology to confront the ongoing border crisis.

“On my third trip down to the border as a senior member of the Homeland Security Committee, I heard from border agents about the urgent need for additional resources – including personnel, technology, and physical barriers – to help ensure that we have safe, secure, and humane borders,” Hassan said in a statement.

“In particular, I appreciated hearing from border agents about their efforts to stop unlawful border crossings, and the technology that they use to secure the border and intercept illegal drug trafficking,” she continued. “I will continue working across the aisle to help ensure that our border agents have the support that they need to carry out their critical mission and will keep pressing the administration for a comprehensive plan to strengthen border security and deliver additional resources to the border, which is especially important given its recent announcement to end Title 42.”

‘Groomer School’ Sued for Pushing Gender-Bending, Hiding It From Adults

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Massachusetts Family Institute has announced a lawsuit on behalf of two families against what a commentary at PJMedia described as a “groomer school” where officials coached children into transgender ideologies while hiding their actions from parents.

The institute said it is working with the Child & Parental Rights Campaign on the lawsuit on behalf of two Ludlow, Massachusetts, families against public school officials there.

“The families are suing for violations of their parental rights stemming from a district policy prohibiting school staff from sharing information with parents about a student’s discordant gender identity and efforts to promote that identity in school. In the case of one of the families named in the suit, school officials were actively transitioning their 11-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son without their parents’ knowledge and against their wishes,” the group confirmed.

The organizations said in a statement that school officials were told by the parents not to speak to their children about gender identity, but actively “dismissed” the instructions and “not only continued having such conversations with their daughter, but began addressing her in school by an alternative name and pronouns.”

School staff members used the girl’s real name only in communication with her parents, “intentionally concealing their affirmation of her gender transition at school.”

The Only Way to Fight Disinformation Is to Fight Political Censorship

/0 Comments/in , /by

If outfits like the Aspen Institute’s “Commission on Information Disorder,” along with Big Tech’s faceless “fact-checkers,” ever get a total monopoly on dictating reality, the result will be a 24/7 mix of falsehoods with the occasional limited hangout to cover up their lies.

The icing on this fake cake is the use of conferences about disinformation, such as the recent stunt at the University of Chicago that served as cover for justifying political censorship. There former President Obama presented the perfect picture of psychological projection: a panel of propagandists accusing others of wrongthink.

The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum, for example, sought to censor the reality of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal by announcing she didn’t find it “interesting.” See how that works? Truth depends upon how our elites personally feel about what should be true.

But it gets much worse, because political censorship creates deep dysfunction in society. In fact, the surest way to kill a democracy is to practice political censorship under the guise of protecting society from disinformation.

Censorship causes disinformation. It’s the grandaddy of disinformation, not a solution to it. The sooner everyone recognizes this obvious fact, the better off we’ll be. (Read more from “The Only Way to Fight Disinformation Is to Fight Political Censorship” HERE)

2020 Election Irregularities Are Still Unaddressed Despite Recounts Gone Wrong, Erased Records, and Suddenly Surfacing Ballots

/1 Comment/in , /by

If we are going to avoid the type of debate that we saw after the November 3, 2020 election and restore confidence, then transparency is important. Take one of the least obvious places where people have concerns about the election — Montana.

Donald Trump won the state in 2020 by 16.4 percent. But there is an election transparency problem in Missoula County, Montana’s second-most populous county. . .

Last January 4, a recount of the 2020 election in Missoula made national news when it found 4,592 fewer envelopes than the County Election Office’s tally of 72,491 votes. That is a 6.33 percent difference in votes counted. The county’s election was entirely mail-in, and envelopes were crucial for checking dates and signatures.

During that recount, the Missoula County election board provided 31 boxes of envelopes to be counted. On March 28, in a count commissioned by the Missoula County Republicans, the count resulted in only 71 fewer envelopes than votes.

Why the difference? For the March 28 count, the election board provided 33 boxes — two more than were provided in the first count (affidavits available here, here, and here).

Biden, Harris Gave Less to Charity Than Others in Their Income Bracket

/0 Comments/in , /by

When it comes to charity, President Biden and Vice President Harris came up short compared to their fellow Americans, a review of their tax returns shows.

The president and First Lady Jill Biden reported $610,702 in income for 2021 and paid $183,925 in federal and state income taxes. The couple gave $17,394 to charity, or about 2.8%. That’s roughly 0.3 % less than the average charitable deduction for Americans making between $500,000 and $2 million, according to 2016 data from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

In Harris’ case, the disparity was worse. The vice president and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, earned $1,655,563 in 2021 and paid $523,371 in federal income taxes. The couple donated $22,100 — or 1.3% — to charity. The figure is considerably less than the 3.1% on average donated by those making between $500,000 and $2 million.

The giving disparity between the Biden and Harris families was first reported by Fox News. The Tax Policy Center data showed the poorest Americans were by far the most generous, with those making less than $50,000 who itemized charitable deductions donating 8.4%.

Biden’s largest charitable donation of 2021 was a $5,000 gift to the Beau Biden Foundation, named in honor of his son who died of cancer in 2015. The Bidens were considerably more generous in 2020, donating $30,704 of their income to charity, or about 5%.

Biden’s America: Gas Prices Expected to Get Even Worse

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. gas prices are expected to start climbing once again after a brief period of reprieve, some industry experts predict.

Gas prices — which have been on the rise for months — consistently hit record highs in March, easily topping well over $4.00 per gallon.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, looking at all grades and formulations in retail gas prices, the U.S. hit an average of $4.322 in March 2022 — roughly $1.70 more than the $2.594 average seen in March 2019, under former President Donald Trump.

However, while Americans have experienced a slowdown in the rise, industry experts expect it to tick back up yet again, as gas price futures rose 30 cents in the last week.

That is “just bad news for the consumer,” Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, said according to Fox News. He believes prices could rise as high as $4.20 per gallon. (Read more from “Biden’s America: Gas Prices Expected to Get Even Worse” HERE)

Oops: Woke Diversity Activists Accuse DJ of Wearing Blackface at School Event. Turns Out the DJ Was Actually Black. (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A pair of woke activists in Arizona who push diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at the Scottsdale Unified School District embarrassed themselves recently when they accused a black entertainer hired for a local school event of wearing wearing blackface.

The episode, first reported by the Arizona Daily Independent, stemmed from an April 9 fundraiser for Phoenix’s Hopi Elementary School put on by the Hopi PTA.

The PTA hired DJ Kim Koko Hunter, who is black, to play at the 1970s Disco-themed event. Attendees posted photos from the event on social media accounts, including one photo featuring Hunter in seventies garb with other eventgoers.

Two wokesters, Stuart Rhoden and Jill Lassen, who actively work to implement left-wing DEI standards at SUSD saw the image and attacked the Hopi Elementary PTA, accusing the group of hiring a DJ who was in blackface.

Rhoden, who, according to the Daily Independent, is an instructor for Arizona State University and a member of the SUSD’s Equity and Inclusion Committee, did not appreciate being called out for claiming Hunter was in blackface and complained on Facebook about parents being “all up in my DMs” over his false accusations. In fact, he even doubled down on the blackface assertions, claiming that Hunter, a black man, was actually in blackface because he allegedly appeared to be “in darker make-up,” and blasting critics for assuming he thought the DJ was a white man (while admitting that might have been his assumption, but he wasn’t about to cop to it).

White House Tells Travelers to Continue Masking but Defends Ending Title 42 (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

While it’s nothing new for the Biden White House, Monday’s briefing by Jen Psaki put a somewhat-chaotic exclamation point on how disjointed the administration’s guidance and mandates have been regarding COVID-19.

Happening just hours after a federal judge in Florida struck down the CDC’s mask mandate for travelers, Psaki was unable or unwilling to answer multiple questions about whether travelers must still wear masks.

Calling the ruling a “disappointing decision,” Psaki quickly made clear that the White House was caught off-guard in the midst of its Easter festivities by the court decision.
