Apple Employees Demand Company to Condemn Israel

/1 Comment/in , /by

A group of Muslim employees at Apple is pushing the tech giant to publicly condemn Israel’s “illegal occupation” of the Gaza Strip following a recent spate of violence caused by the terrorist group Hamas.

In a letter to CEO Tim Cook, members of the Apple Muslim Association on Monday expressed their “sadness, anger, frustration, and disappointment” about “the struggle and pain of the Palestinian people, and their decades-long existence under military occupation.” The letter calls on Apple to support the Palestinian cause, noting that the company “has led the way not only on products, but on human rights issues.”

The employees, however, have yet to speak out about the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China, where Apple’s supply chain is largely located. Up to one million Uyghurs are imprisoned in “reeducation camps” in the western province of Xinjiang. A recent report found photo and documentary evidence that seven Apple suppliers use Uyghur forced labor to make iPhone parts.

More than 1,000 Apple employees have signed the letter, which boasts that Apple employees “reached out to support and will continue to support our Asian communities in the face of anti-Asian hate and attacks.” The letter also notes that Apple employees “will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our Black and Brown communities in their fight for justice and equity.” (Read more from “Apple Employees Demand Company to Condemn Israel” HERE)

Judge Orders Psych Eval for Capitol Rioter ‘QAnon Shaman’

/1 Comment/in , /by

A federal judge has ordered Jacob Chansley, the Jan. 6 Capitol rioter known as the “QAnon Shaman,” to undergo a psychological evaluation.

There is “reasonable cause to believe that a competency examination” for Chansley is warranted, wrote Judge Royce Lamberth of the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Chansley, 33, who also went by the name Jake Angeli, gained attention for wearing a horned helmet and red, white and blue face paint and carrying an American flag at multiple protests around his hometown of Phoenix before the Capitol riot. The bare-chested activist was a prominent figure in videos and photos taken during the insurrection, when he made it to the Senate floor, where he allegedly left a note for former Vice President Mike Pence.

He was arrested just three days after the riot, and refused to eat non-organic food while he was locked up. In March, he told “60 Minutes” that he did not attack the country, but was merely trying to inject some “positive vibrations” in the Senate on Jan. 6, where he said he “sang a song”.

Investigation: Mild Heart Condition Found in Group of Vaxxed Teens, Young Adults

/1 Comment/in , /by

The CDC says it is investigating a small number of reports of young COVID-19 vaccine recipients experiencing “mild” heart inflammation.

The government health agency said it has received “relatively few” reports of predominantly male adolescents and young adults developing myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.

The condition can be caused by a number of viruses, and often goes away without complications, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said. . .

The group did not specify the number of people affected but said cases usually occurred within four days of taking the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, which was recently approved for children ages 12 – 15.

Dem Divide on Full Display: Biden Sends Message to ‘Squad,’ Saying, ‘My Party Still Supports Israel’; Biden Fails to Condemn Antisemitic Attacks by Pro-Palestinian Activists Nationwide; NPR: Leftists Palestinian Cause Similar to Black Lives Matter Movement

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. President Biden said that there has been “no shift” in his commitment to Israel and that the Democratic Party still supports the Jewish state, despite heated and sometimes vitriolic criticism of Israel over the past ten days by progressives.

Biden was asked in a news conference Friday with South Korean President Moon Jae-In what his “message to Democrats who want you to be more confrontational with Israel.”

“My party still supports Israel,” Biden said. “Until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of Israel to exist as an independent Jewish state, there will be no peace.”

He again called for a two-state solution in the region. “There is no shift in my commitment to the security of Israel. Period. No shift, not at all. But I’ll tell you what there is a shift in. The shift is that, we still need a two-state solution. It is the only answer. The only answer.” (Read more from “Dem Divide on Full Display: Biden Sends Message to ‘Squad,’ Saying, ‘My Party Still Supports Israel’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Biden Fails to Condemn Antisemitic Attacks by Pro-Palestinian Activists Nationwide

By Breitbart. Jewish groups wrote to President Joe Biden on Friday as he failed to speak out against a wave of antisemitic violence across the nation, as pro-Palestinian activists targeted a synagogue, attacked pro-Israel protesters, and assaulted innocent bystanders.

On Sunday, a synagogue near Chicago was vandalized, and a “Freedom for Palestine” poster was found on the grounds. On Tuesday, a mob of pro-Palestinian thugs attacked a group of diners in Los Angeles, in what police are investigating as a hate crime. And on Thursday, pro-Palestinian protesters attacked Jews in Times Square and on 47th Street in New York City.

Biden criticized inter-communal violence between Jews and Arabs in Israel, twice, during a press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in (the bulk of which was carried out by Arabs, as reflected in criminal indictments by Israeli police).

But he said nothing about the ongoing antisemitic attacks in the United States, reflecting the silence of other Democratic leaders. (Read more from “Biden Fails to Condemn Antisemitic Attacks by Pro-Palestinian Activists Nationwide” HERE)

NPR: For Left, Palestinian Cause Similar to Black Lives Matter Movement

By Breitbart. National Public Radio (NPR), a taxpayer-funded national news outlet, reported Friday that left-wing Americans are rallying to the Palestinian cause, and against Israel, because they see it “as a power struggle, akin to the movement for Black lives.”

There is no significant racial difference between Palestinians and Israelis. Many Jews have deep roots in Arab countries. Black people in the region tend to be Jewish — namely, Ethiopian Jews, whose community was brought to Israel in recent decades.

On Saturday night, Israel will even be represented at the Eurovision song contest finals by a black Jewish woman, Eden Alene. (Read more from “NPR: For Left, Palestinian Cause Similar to Black Lives Matter Movement” HERE)

But to the American left, for whom “intersectionality” — solidarity across causes — is paramount, Palestinians are “black lives.”

Florida Teacher Fired Over Critical Race Theory Ban, but Parents Still Concerned Over Textbooks

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Duval County teacher has been terminated from classroom instruction for refusing to remove a Black Lives Matter banner from the wall outside her classroom, violating Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ban of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools.

. . .Florida teacher Amy Donofrio was terminated from her position as a Language Arts teacher at Robert E. Lee High School for—as Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran described—having “an entire classroom memorialized to Black Lives Matter,” reported Action News Jax on May 17.

. . .

Textbooks containing CRT subject matter, coming soon to Florida’s classrooms, are raising concerns for parents.

“I’m a Florida resident with children in Florida public schools and I am in full support of Gov. DeSantis and his position on critical race theory,” Lisa Jeannine Smith of Navarre, Florida, told The Epoch Times. “We have a race crisis that has been created in the mind only by the mainstream media and few powerful, yet feckless leaders in our government who must create a crisis to fix, as one does not exist in present day.”

“I want my kids learning about math, science, language arts, history, and geography, among other things,” Hernando County, Florida resident and parent Jose David shared with The Epoch Times, “not about a leftist agenda.” (Read more from “Florida Teacher Fired Over Critical Race Theory Ban, but Parents Still Concerned Over Textbooks” HERE)

Biden Awards Medal of Honor to Korean War Hero

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden awarded his first Medal of Honor on Friday to a 94-year-old retired Army colonel for bravery under enemy fire more than a half-century ago in the Korean War.

It took a policy change for retired Col. Ralph Puckett Jr. to receive the military’s highest honor. The 2020 defense policy bill removed a requirement that such awards be given within five years of a valorous act.

“Today we are hosting a true American hero and awarding an honor that is long overdue — more than 70 years overdue,” Biden said during the East Room ceremony. “Though I understand that your first response to us hosting this event was to ask why all the fuss.”

Biden said Puckett had suggested they just mail him the award.

“Rather than mail it to you, I would’ve walked it to you,” Biden said, adding that the retired Ranger indeed deserved “a little bit of fuss.” (Read more from “Biden Awards Medal of Honor to Korean War Hero” HERE)

Investigation of Ousted Space Force Commander Elevated to Inspector General (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The investigation into the ousting of a Space Force commander who spoke out against Marxism and critical race theory in the military has been elevated to the Department of the Air Force’s Office of Inspector General (IG).

Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek told Fox News on Thursday that the investigation into the removal of Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier from duty was moving up to the IG’s office for review, as the case could have an Air Force-wide impact.

Stefanek also said that the IG’s investigation would take precedence over the one launched by Lohmeier’s superior, Air Force Lt. General Stephen Whiting.

“The Department of the Air Force Inspector General has elevated the review of Lt Col Lohmeier’s actions to DAF-IG level for assessment and investigation, as appropriate,” Stefanek told Fox News. “The decision was made by DAF-IG due to the complexity and sensitivity of the issues under consideration, as well as potential for DAF-wide impact.” . . .

Lohmeier, who was the commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, was removed from duty last week after he spoke out against Marxism and critical race theory. Lohmeier’s comments came during the podcast “Information Operation” earlier this month, when he was a guest promoting his self-published book “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.” (Read more from “Investigation of Ousted Space Force Commander Elevated to Inspector General (VIDEO)” HERE)

Disturbing Video Shows Restrained Father Struggle to Breathe as Officers Taunt Him

/1 Comment/in , /by

Disturbing video shows a Tennessee man desperately gasping for air as several corrections officers and police officers press into his back and taunt him — just minutes before he died.

The footage, obtained Thursday by WTVF, shows William Jennette, 48, struggling to breathe as he wrestled with multiple officers at the Marshall County Jail last May, after he refused to get into a restraint chair.

“Go get leg restraints before you do anything else, go get leg restraints,” one officer says as others were atop Jennette’s back.

Seconds later, Jennette, a father of five, said he couldn’t breathe, prompting a female officer to taunt him.

“You shouldn’t be able to breathe, you stupid bastard,” the officer said.

Maskhole! Vaccinated CNN Host Chris Cuomo Wears Face Covering Alone in Convertible

/0 Comments/in , /by

If only he played it this safe with his journalism ethics …

Fully vaccinated CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has taken mask-wearing to absurd heights — covering his face as he cruised alone in a convertible with the top down amid the latest scandal to hit his family.

Photos show the “Cuomo Prime Time” host wearing a surgical mask and waving as he rolled through Sag Harbor in his blue Firebird on Thursday, despite CDC and state guidance that says it’s safe for people vaccinated against COVID-19 to go mask-free outside. . .

The newsman’s overly cautious drive-by came as news broke that he counseled his big brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and the governor’s senior advisers about handling a wave of sexual harassment allegations. (Read more from “Maskhole!

‘NO CONSERVATIVES ARE WELCOME’: Steven Crowder Sues YouTube

/0 Comments/in , /by

YouTube has demonetized BlazeTV host Steven Crowder yet again, but this time Crowder is taking the tech giant to court.

Recently, YouTube gave Crowder’s account its second hard strike, meaning that the next one will result in a permanent ban. He joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to explain what this would mean for the future of conservative media and how he’s fighting back.

“We have filed a legal notice of a lawsuit and an immediate injunction against YouTube,” Crowder explained. “This is the big one. This is the big one with the Roman Empire at this point. As a matter of fact, the Roman Empire couldn’t fathom the power of Alphabet, who owns YouTube and Google.”

Crowder argued that neither of the videos that received strikes actually violated YouTube’s policies. Instead, he believes YouTube is essentially saying conservative views are not welcome.

“It’s tantamount to saying, no conservatives are welcome,” Crowder said. “I do not say this to boast. You know I never talk about the numbers on my show because I want the content to speak for itself, but this is far and away the No. 1 show on new media. Period. We beat Kimmel. We beat Trevor Noah. We beat these guys every single day. Every single day. But it’s not because of us — it’s conservative views. These views are not welcome. And the reason we’ve filed an injunction for immediate relief, is to make sure our channel is still up, that we know what steps to take next.
