Look Who Ended Their Indoor Mask Mandate…Again

. . .Philadelphia was the only city to reinstate a mask mandate, but it’s gone now. Yeah, it didn’t even last as long as CNN+. The mandate is gone because cases had leveled out. That’s not possible. That’s science fiction. This can’t happen in a matter of days; this is the so-called experts’ own data on the virus which has been disseminated ad nauseum. This is how you know (again) the whole playbook was about the maximization of government power (via CBS Philly):

Philadelphia lifted its indoor mask mandate, but residents and visitors are strongly encouraged to still wear a mask in indoor public spaces, the city’s health department announced on Friday. The Board of Health voted to rescind the mandate.

Further details will be announced during a 10:30 a.m. briefing that will be streamed live on CBS News Philly.

Health officials say the decision to rescind the order is due to decreasing hospitalizations and a leveling of case counts, not criticism from businesses and residents.

Biden Says ‘We’re Spending Billions’ to Make US Military Fleet Climate-Friendly

There’s a green future in store for the United States military, according to remarks President Joe Biden made on Earth Day.

During a wide-ranging speech in Washington state, Biden envisioned a future in which the entire military fleet is environmentally friendly.

“We’re going to start the process for every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly,” Biden said. “Every vehicle. I mean it. We’re spending billions of dollars to do it.”

Prior to the statement, Biden noted the vast spending power of his office.

“One of the things I’ve found out as the President of the United States is I get to spend a lot of that money,” he said. (Read more from “Biden Says ‘We’re Spending Billions’ to Make US Military Fleet Climate-Friendly” HERE)

Docs: Spygate Researchers Did Work for Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller

The U.S. Department of Defense and private individuals pumping the Alfa Bank hoax also assisted former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump for supposed collusion with Russia, newly discovered documents suggest.

The Georgia Tech researchers embroiled in the Alfa Bank hoax prepared white papers for the U.S. Department of Defense about the Democratic National Committee hack and created a “Mueller List” on the Russian intelligence agency hackers, the newly obtained documents indicate. The white papers were prepared for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a section of the U.S. Department of Defense.

A recent dump of documents from Georgia Tech reveals that explosive detail and several other facts connected to the continuing special counsel investigation into Spygate. Here’s a rundown. . .

Last month, The Federalist first reported that Special Counsel John Durham’s team asked lead Georgia Tech researcher Manos Antonakakis: “‘Do you believe that DARPA should be instructing you to investigate the origins of a hacker (Guccifer_2.0) that hacked a political entity (DNC)?’” Antonakakis responded that that was a question for the DARPA director, an implied acknowledgment that yes, DARPA had asked him to investigate the hack.

In response, DARPA’s chief of communications denied any involvement “in efforts to attribute the DNC hack.” “Dr. Antonakakis worked on DARPA’s Enhanced Attribution program, which did not involve analysis of the DNC hack,” DARPA spokesman Jared Adams told the Washington Examiner. Adams further told the Washington Examiner that “DARPA was not involved in efforts to attribute the Guccifer 2.0 persona, nor any involvement in efforts to attribute the origin of leaked emails provided to Wikileaks.” (Read more from “Docs: Spygate Researchers Did Work for Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller” HERE)

Charges Dropped for Black Lives Matter Activist Convicted of Illegal Voter Registration

A Black Lives Matter activist convicted of illegal voter registration will no longer have to carry out her jail sentence after Tennessee prosecutors dropped all charges against her on Friday.

Pamela Moses, who was sentenced in January to six years and one day for illegally registering to vote in 2019, was granted a retrial when evidence supporting the activist’s defense was revealed after her sentencing. Moses was set to appear in court on Monday to determine whether prosecutors would pursue a retrial, with attorneys announcing Friday they would dismiss all charges.

“In total, she spent 82 days in custody on this case, which is sufficient,” said Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich in a statement. “In the interest of judicial economy, we are dismissing her illegal registration case and her violation of probation.”

The activist was convicted last year on charges of trying to register to vote despite having a former conviction of tampering with evidence, which permanently revokes voting rights for Tennessee residents, according to state law. Moses testified she was unaware she was ineligible, but prosecutors argued she knew she couldn’t vote and had tricked her probation officer into signing a certificate that restored her voting rights.

‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Easter Bunny Greets Joe Biden in Seattle

President Joe Biden was greeted in Seattle Friday by a protester who mocked him for getting confronted by the Easter Bunny earlier this week.

A woman holding a large Easter Bunny head shouted, “Where’s the Bunny?” when the presidential motorcade passed and then shouted, “Let’s go Brandon!” along the street.

One reporter traveling with the president recorded a video of the incident and shared it on social media.

Democrats Deal: We’ll Keep Border Barrier If Republicans OK More Legal Migration

Democrats and their business-backed allies are hinting they want the Republicans to okay more legal migration in exchange for keeping border barriers against illegal migration.

“I don’t think there’s any incentive for the Republicans to deal,” amid Democratic threats to lift the Title 42 border barrier against migration, responded Jessica Vaughan, the policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.

“The Republicans know enough to insist on a clean extension of Title 42, not one encumbered with the Democrats’ wish list items,” she said, adding:

The Democrats might think that they could get something in exchange for allowing a Title 42 extension. But I think it would be a miscalculation. I don’t think it’s a good look for them to be trying to put a price on Title 42 extension when most of the public wants it extended. That would be seen as obstructing or complicating the continuation of Title 42.

Some Democratic supporters indicate they have little leverage. “Democrats are terrified that ending Title 42 enforcement will produce an all-out border crisis just in time for the midterm elections,” Democratic strategist William Galston wrote in the April 19 Wall Street Journal.

Is Disney About to Fire Its CEO?; Biden Berates Florida Republicans for Punishing Disney

By Townhall. As the showdown between The Walt Disney Company and Florida Republicans comes to a head with the passage of a bill to strip Walt Disney World of its special district status, Bob Chapek’s tumultuous tenure as CEO of Disney has come into glaring focus.

Facing criticism from all sides, Chapek — who replaced former CEO Bob Iger — appears to be on thin ice with growing calls for the embattled leader to step aside in order to let Disney right its ship.

As The New York Post reported on Wednesday as the Florida Senate passed the bill to strip Disney’s Florida resort of its autonomy, there are growing calls for Chapek to go and Iger to return as Disney’s CEO, even if just for a little while.

According to The Post, “Hollywood insiders” are questioning “whether 71-year-old Iger, who stepped down as executive chairman in December, would be able to restrain himself from reaching for the wheel at Disney after a series of missteps by Chapek” that it characterized as a “fumbling response” to Florida’s recently signed parental rights law.

Joe Biden Berates Florida Republicans: ‘Nothing Conservative’ About Punishing Disney

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden criticized Republicans for trying to punish Disney after the company attacked Florida’s parental rights bill signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The president spoke out against the bill during a fundraiser hosted in Seattle by Brad Smith, the president and vice chair of Microsoft.

“There’s nothing conservative about throwing Disney out of its current posture… over saying gay?” Biden said, referring to the Republican-led effort to strip Disney’s special tax status on Thursday.

Florida Republicans pushed the law forward after the family entertainment company said they would fight Florida’s new law preventing teachers instructing students in kindergarten through third grade on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The law reached final passage in the Florida state House of representatives with 70 votes in favor, 38 against, and 11 missing votes. (Read more from “Joe Biden Berates Florida Republicans: ‘Nothing Conservative’ About Punishing Disney” HERE)

While Distracted Spying on Congress, Capitol Police Orders Useless Capitol Evacuation

The U.S. Capitol Police ordered an immediate evacuation of the Capitol grounds early Wednesday evening over an aircraft that posed a “probable threat” to the complex. Within a half hour, the threat turned out to be bureaucratic incompetence.

“The Capitol was evacuated out of an abundance of caution this evening,” the department wrote on Twitter.

The aircraft provoking the brief evacuation turned out to be an Army parachute team for Wednesday’s baseball game at Nationals Park for Military Appreciation Day. Washington Examiner National Security Reporter Tom Rogan found the aircraft on radar moments after the Capitol alert. Add a quick online search, and it became clear the plane was connected to the local sporting event honoring service members.

Newly Obtained Emails Raise Questions About Department of Defense Involvement in Spygate

After spending weeks dismissing concerns about its work with Russia hoax-connected researchers, a newly discovered email from The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to a Georgia Tech researcher with the subject line “Mueller case” casts doubt on DARPA’s denials.

Last month, The Federalist first reported that an email exchange obtained from Georgia Tech pursuant to a Right-to-Know request indicated that Special Counsel John Durham’s office was investigating the Democrat National Committee hack. Manos Antonakakis, the Georgia Tech researcher branded “Researcher-1” in the special counsel’s indictment of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, penned the email shortly after being questioned by one of Durham’s top prosecutors.

The special counsel’s office charged Sussmann last fall with lying to the FBI’s general counsel, James Baker, when Sussmann provided Baker with data and white papers supposedly showing the existence of a secret communications network between the Donald Trump campaign and the Russian-based Alfa Bank. The Sussmann indictment also revealed that the Georgia Tech researchers, since identified as Antonakakis and David Dagon, “were receiving and analyzing Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract.”

The then-unidentified government contract originated with DARPA, with DARPA eventually awarding Georgia Tech more than $17 million for the project dubbed “Rhamnousia,” after the mythical Greek goddess of divine retribution, Rhamnous.

‘Detransitioners’ Come Out Against Sex Change Procedures and Gender Ideology

Young women who regretted undergoing sex changes in their adolescent years spoke about their experiences and the adults who allowed them to transition in a Tuesday Substack article by Suzy Weiss.

The women, sometimes referred to as “detransitioners,” were given extreme biomedical interventions ranging from hormones and puberty blockers to double mastectomies in adolescence to relieve their gender dysphoria, according to the article. Several blamed the adults in their lives for failing them.

Helena Kerschner, who began identifying as transgender at age 15, said she had mental health issues that went unaddressed until school counselors began encouraging her to transition, she told Weiss. . .

Days after turning 18, Kerschner drove to Chicago from her hometown of Cincinnati, spoke with a social worker and was prescribed testosterone by a nurse practitioner without ever seeing a doctor, she told Weiss. She convinced the nurse practitioner, who initially recommended 25 milligrams weekly, to prescribe her 100 milligrams.

“The fact that there’s adults as high up as in the Biden administration putting out these claims that young people need to medically transition is really dangerous,” Kerschner told Weiss. “There’s no logic to it.” (Read more from “‘Detransitioners’ Come Out Against Sex Change Procedures and Gender Ideology” HERE)
