Massive Nurse Shortage Hits Major City—Weeks After 150 Unvaccinated Nurses and Hospital Workers Fired

Jennifer Bridges knew what was coming when her director at Houston Methodist hospital called her up in June to inquire about her vaccination status.

Bridges, a 39-year-old registered nurse, responded “absolutely not” when asked if she was vaccinated or had made an effort to get vaccinated. She was terminated on the spot. . .

Bridges was one of more than 150 hospital workers fired by Houston Methodist hospital. . .

Shepherd and her colleagues may be disposable in the eyes of hospital administrators, but they are perhaps not as easily replaced as she or Houston Methodist thought.

Two months after firing unvaccinated hospital staff, Houston Methodist is one of several area hospitals experiencing a severe shortage of medical personnel. Media reports say hospitals have “reached a breaking point” because of a flood of COVID-19 cases.

Pregnant Woman Makes It to Flight From Afghanistan, Gives Birth Onboard

A pregnant Afghan woman managed to make it to an evacuation flight from Kabul’s international airport and gave birth aboard a military plane hours later.

The U.S. military is working to rapidly evacuate thousands of Afghans who worked with Americans and NATO allies during the past two decades of war as the Taliban has now retaken control of the country. President Joe Biden’s administration has faced substantial criticism and political pressure—from Republicans and Democrats alike—to swiftly evacuate the Afghan nationals amid concerns they could face reprisals and death now that the Taliban has returned to power.

Air Mobility Command (AMC), a major command of the U.S. Air Force, posted about the incident involving the pregnant Afghan woman on its official Twitter account on Saturday. The Twitter thread explained that the woman went into labor while en route to Germany and faced complications.

State Apologizes for ‘Fat-Shaming’ To Encourage Vaccination

The Delaware Division of Public Health has issued an apology for a vaccination memo that some people believed was fat-shaming to encourage vaccination.

WBOC-TV reports that Delaware’s health department issued an apology following the controversy spurned on by the ad.

The since-deleted ad — which was shared to the department’s Facebook page — read, “Remember when you gained 10 pounds from stress eating? … You would have to run five miles a day for a week just to lose one pound of fat.”

The ad continued, “#GettingVaccinated sounds a lot easier. Protect yourself and those you love from the #Delta variant. #VaxxUpDE.” Following outcry, the agency pulled the ad from its social media page and issued an apology. . .

In a statement, a spokesperson for the agency said, “We have updated an early post promoting vaccination. We understand some were offended by the post and we sincerely apologize for our word choice. It was not intentional. DPH supports all activities that contribute to a healthy lifestyle including exercise, eating well and getting recommended vaccinations.” (Read more from “State Apologizes for ‘Fat-Shaming’ To Encourage Vaccination” HERE)

Actor Claims Americans “Who Believe In Religion” Are Just as Fanatical as the Taliban

Weighing in on the recent and disastrous withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, actor Tim Russ, perhaps best known for portraying Lieutenant Commander Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, has equated the faith of Americans “who believe in religion” to the violent religious fanaticism of the Taliban.

Taking to his personal Twitter account on August 16th, just a few days after the Taliban took over the Afghanistan capital of Kabul in the near-immediate absence of US forces, Russ asserted, “The Taliban are as fanatical about their beliefs and culture as the millions of people right here in the U.S. who believe in religion, conspiracy theories, and alternate reality.”

While it appears that Russ is deriding a hypothetical individual who believes in just one of those tenets, it’s also likely that he’s lashing out specifically against those who not only support President Donald Trump, but also position themselves as pro-life in regards to the debate surrounding abortion.

That such a specific group is the target of Russ’ condemnation is evidenced by the actor’s own social media history, in which he can be seen regularly taking swings at the ‘Christian right’.

Venue Says Vaccine Policy Was ‘Miscommunicated’ to Christian Broadway Star

There’s a new plot twist in the saga of musical star Laura Osnes exiting a Hamptons show over its vaccination policy.

Guild Hall in East Hampton now says there was a “miscommunication” of its policy to Osnes — which led her to pull out of an upcoming one-night-only performance of director Susan Stroman’s “Crazy For You.” . . .

But Osnes then refuted that she was offered the choice to submit a negative test, posting on Instagram, “I would have tested in a heartbeat… something I have been doing for months, and will continue to do, in order to keep working safely.”

But Guild Hall told us on Wednesday: “Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication of our policy, and Laura Osnes voluntarily opted out of the one-night-only performance. She was graciously doing this event as a charitable gesture to Guild Hall, and for this we are grateful. Laura is a talented artist and we look forward to working with her again in the future.” (Read more from “Venue Says Vaccine Policy Was ‘Miscommunicated’ to Christian Broadway Star” HERE)

Christian Broadway Star Fired After Refusing COVID Vaccine

. . .Page Six has learned that Broadway superstar Laura Osnes has been let go from a Hamptons show because she refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Osnes — who shot to fame when she won the talent search show “Grease: You’re the One That I Want!” in 2008, and has gone on to have a heavyweight Broadway career — was set to perform in front of a star-studded audience for a one-night production of “Crazy For You” at the Guild Hall in East Hampton on Aug. 29. . .

We’re told that’s when two-time Tony nominee Osnes — who starred in the title role of the Broadway adaptation of “Cinderella” from 2013 to 2014 — revealed that she hadn’t been vaccinated, and announced that she doesn’t trust the jabs.

Osnes has described herself in interviews as a Christian conservative.

According to spies, she immediately got the hook and was replaced by Sierra Boggess, who played Ariel in the Broadway adaptation of “The Little Mermaid.” (Read more from “Christian Broadway Star Fired After Refusing COVID Vaccine” HERE)

STUDY: Babies Born During COVID-19 Pandemic Tied With Lower IQ

Preliminary findings by U.S. researchers suggest children born during the COVID-19 pandemic show lower IQ scores than those who were born before January 2020, but the underlying causes are still unknown.

It may be due to the first 1,000 days of a child’s life being the most crucial to development.

The findings were posted in medRxiv ahead of peer review on Aug. 11, stemming from a survey among roughly 605 children in Rhode Island, most of them White, including 39 born in 2018 and 2019. . .

The study of pre-pandemic babies shows that they had an IQ ranging from 98.5 to 107.3.

But the IQs of babies born during the pandemic sharply fell 27 to 37 points. (Read more from “STUDY: Babies Born During COVID-19 Pandemic Tied With Lower IQ” HERE)

Black Atlanta Mother Files Suit Against Principal for Separating Students by Race

A black Atlanta mother has filed a federal lawsuit against a black principal and public school after her daughter and other students were separated by race and then taught in separate classrooms.

Kila Posey filed her complaint against Mary Lin Elementary School in which she said Principal Sharyn Briscoe informed her that she instituted the segregated classroom concept because she felt that would be best for students.

Posey, who is vice president of operations for the local Parent Teachers Association (PTA) said she first learned about the segregated classrooms when she called Briscoe to request that her daughter be placed in a certain classroom with a specific teacher. Briscoe responded by informing Posey that wouldn’t work out because that teacher’s classroom was not one that had been established for black students.

“[The principal] said that’s not one of the black classes, and I immediately said, ‘What does that mean?’ I was confused,” Posey recalled.

“I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘We have those in the school?’ And she proceeded to say, ‘Yes. I have decided that I’m going to place all of the black students in two classes,’” Posey continued.

Investigate Now: Federal Grants Sponsored Possibly Live Baby Harvesting at University of Pittsburgh

Another week, another discovery that the U.S. government attempted to cover up scientific experiments on viable babies—with by far the most condemning evidence yet and increasing calls for federal investigation. On Monday, Judicial Watch and David Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released the details of a $3 million grant the National Institutes of Health (NIH) gave the University of Pittsburgh to create a fetal “Tissue Hub” to dismember and distribute the organs of full-term aborted babies, selected by race, for inhumane experiments.

As if that wasn’t appalling enough, new evidence points to the University of Pittsburgh harvesting organs from born-alive babies as a real possibility—meaning the babies would have died while researchers dissected their bodies for kidneys and other organs.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently handed over the documents thanks to a lawsuit Judicial Watch filed last year on behalf of CMP when the agency failed to deliver records CMP requested through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Last month, Daleiden’s group exposed the University of Pittsburgh’s work to graft the full-thickness scalps of unborn babies onto the backs of rodents in a study funded by Anthony Fauci’s NIAID office. The records released this week reveal this wasn’t a one-off incident, unearthing an agreement between NIH and the university to fully operationalize a grotesque baby organ bank funded by federal taxpayers.

As just discovered this week, the specific terms of the grant were to “develop a pipeline to the acquisition, quality control and distribution” of human babies from all levels of development right up to the age of birth. The University of Pittsburgh’s grant application to the NIH requests funding to “generate an ongoing resource” to fetal tissue from babies 6 to 42 weeks old by establishing itself as the “Tissue Hub and Collection Site” for the “GUDMAP” project. The project supplies researchers across the country with aborted kidneys, bladders, and other organs for experimentation.

Judge Places Boy in Custody of Mother Who Supports His Alleged Desire to Live as Girl

Judge Mary Brown of the 301st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, has granted Anne Georgulas full custody of her 8-year son who she says wants to live as a girl. The mother supports his “medical transition.”

Georgulas has been a custody fight with her ex-husband, Jeff Younger, who has said he wants his son to remain his son.

Georgulas argues that her son “identifies” as a girl and wants to be called Luna.

Christian Today reported on the legal development, including that his twin brother Jude would also remain with his mother:

The ruling gives Georgulas exclusive control over their primary place of residence, education, extracurricular activities, counseling and medical treatment with the exception of hormone suppression therapy, puberty blockers, or transgender reassignment surgery.
