In-N-Out Exec: We Refuse To Be ‘Vaccination Police for Any Government’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In-N-Out Burger is taking a firm stand against San Francisco COVID-19 restrictions that require businesses to check the vaccination status of customers before serving them food — a stand that has forced the restaurant to temporarily close down in at least one of its locations.

As highlighted by The Daily Wire on Tuesday, a San Fransisco In-N-Out Burger location was shut down for not checking customers’ vaccine status. The restaurant has opened up outdoors, but its indoor dining is still closed for refusal to comply with the health order.

In the wake of the forced closure, In-N-Out Burger’s Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger slammed the order as discriminatory, underscoring that the company, headed by 39-year-old Lynsi Snyder, refuses to become “the vaccination police for any government.”

“Our store properly and clearly posted signage to communicate local vaccination requirements,” Wensinger explained in a statement sent to Fox News. “After closing our restaurant, local regulators informed us that our restaurant Associates must actively intervene by demanding proof of vaccination and photo identification from every Customer, then act as enforcement personnel by barring entry for any Customers without the proper documentation.”

“‘We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” said Wensinger, adding that the San Francisco Department of Health’s requirements are “unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe.” (Read more from “In-N-Out Exec: We Refuse To Be ‘Vaccination Police for Any Government’” HERE)

Border Patrol Arrests Hit Highest Since 1986

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arrests by Border Patrol have soared to the highest levels since 1986, according to Customs and Border Patrol data.

U.S. authorities detained more than 1.7 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border during the 2021 fiscal year, which ended in September, according to CBP data obtained by the Washington Post.

Historical data shows that Border Patrol made 1.69 million arrests nationwide in 1986, the outlet reported. The data, however, doesn’t show how many of those arrests were made along the border.

President Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law in 1986, which provided a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who had entered the country before 1982. The bill also tightened up border security and penalized employers who hired illegal immigrants.

CBP’s Rio Grande Valley sector came in with the most arrests, at 549,000 Border Patrol apprehensions. While the Del Rio sector had 259,000 apprehensions. (Read more from “Border Patrol Arrests Hit Highest Since 1986” HERE)

Here Are the Latest Goods To See Prices Spike Due to Biden-Flation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Is it still a high-class problem? The Biden administration’s take on the global supply chain crisis and rising inflation have shown what happens when insulated rich liberals take over Washington. They don’t know real people. They’re not in touch with normal Americans. . .I guess we little people don’t need toilet paper, paper towels, razor blades, toothbrushes, or toothpaste. That’s a high-class issue, right (via NY Post):

The maker of Crest toothpaste and Tide laundry detergent said it would raise prices — again — joining a list of US manufacturers passing the rising cost of raw goods onto consumers. . .

P&G said Tuesday it would hike prices on a host of beauty, oral care and grooming goods, which include Gillette razors, Oil of Olay creams and Oral-B toothbrushes.

That’s after warning this spring that it would be forced to hike prices on its paper-based products, which include Pampers diapers, Bounty paper towels and Tampax tampons.

Judge Rejects Husband’s Plea for Ivermectin for Critically Ill Wife

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida judge, deeming that it was inappropriate for him to be determining the level of dosage of Ivermectin for a critically ill woman, rejected for the second time in three days a petition from the woman’s husband requesting that the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center administer Ivermectin.

Palm Beach County Circuit Judge James Nutt requested that Ryan Drock and the hospital try to resolve the dispute themselves, arguing, “The parties are directed to confer and, if possible, agree how this matter can expeditiously proceed to final resolution,” The Palm Beach Post reported, adding, “If the correct legal papers are ‘squared away,’ Nutt said he would be willing to hold a hearing to explore why Drock, who is in the intensive-care unit tethered to oxygen, might benefit from ivermectin.” . . .

The Daily Beast reported:

Though Nutt suggested he would consider a request for a temporary injunction “given the gravity and urgency of the case,” he hinted that it could also be unsuccessful in court. “It is not a right to substitute one’s judgment as to which treatments must [be] made available by others,” said the judge. “There is no right, constitutional or otherwise, of a patient to substitute one’s judgment for a medical professional.”

Mike Lindell Wants To Crush Dominion’s Defamation Lawsuit, Arguing the Voting Tech Company Is a Government Official – Legal Experts Say He Has a Point

/0 Comments/in , /by

In August, lawyers for Mike Lindell’s pillow company raised a legal argument that could deal a blow to a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.

Lawyers for MyPillow argue that, since Dominion develops technology used in elections, it’s effectively a government official. And since government officials need to clear a high bar to win defamation lawsuits, they argue the lawsuit can’t stand.

“At the heart of this case is the scope of an American citizen’s right to criticize how his government handles the counting of votes,” MyPillow’s lawyers write. “Were electronic voting systems used in the November 2020 election hacked and manipulated? Plaintiff Dominion’s billion-dollar defamation lawsuits and related public attacks against MyPillow and numerous others are an effort to choke off public discussion of these foundational political issues.” . . .

“The defendants are claiming that because the plaintiff is performing a strictly government function they should be treated as a public official,” Frederick Schauer, a University of Virginia professor and First Amendment expert, told Insider. “That is not an implausible claim, nor is the response that the plaintiff is sufficiently down in the food chain that they cannot really be considered an official, even if they are doing something governmental under contract with the government.” (Read more from “Mike Lindell Wants To Crush Dominion’s Defamation Lawsuit, Arguing the Voting Tech Company Is a Government Official – Legal Experts Say He Has a Point” HERE)

Everything OK Joe? Unhinged Biden Goes off in Scranton

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden appeared frustrated Wednesday that his agenda was stalled in Congress, raising his voice during a speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

“What are we doing?” Biden asked after telling a story about parents driving their cars to McDonalds to get internet access during the coronavirus pandemic to do online schooling.

“This is the United States of America, dammit!” Biden shouted. “What are we doing?” . . .

The president mocked former President Donald Trump for failing to pass infrastructure spending.

“Last four years you’d hear every month is, you know, infrastructure month,” Biden says. “Didn’t do a single damn thing. Nothing. I mean, nothing for four years.” (Read more from “Everything OK Joe? Unhinged Biden Goes off in Scranton” HERE)

Parkland Shooter Blames Pot, Racism for Attack That Killed 17

/0 Comments/in , /by

Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz pleaded guilty Wednesday to killing 17 people in the 2018 massacre at his former high school — before apologizing for the rampage and going on a bizarre rant about marijuana and racism.

“I am very sorry for what I did and I have to live with it every day,” Cruz, 23, told Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer. . .

“I hate drugs and I believe this country would do better if everyone would stop smoking marjiuana and doing all these drugs and causing racism and violence out on the streets.”

Cruz said he was trying his best to maintain his composure before adding: “I just want you to know that I’m really sorry and I hope you give me a chance to try to help others.”

Cruz also pleaded guilty to 17 counts of first-degree attempted murder for wounding 17 others during the massacre at the high school outside Fort Lauderdale. He was 19 at the time. (Read more from “Parkland Shooter Blames Pot, Racism for Attack That Killed 17” HERE)

College Students Lash Out at Draconian COVID-19 Measures: Schools Enforce ‘Bio Buttons,’ GPS Tracking, Restrict Off-Campus Travel and Threaten to Arrest Kids Over Vaccine Status

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. . .[T]he most aggressive actions against the “unvaxxed” are being taken by colleges and universities, including the threat from Colorado State University officials that students could be arrested for trespassing, a move that sounds suspiciously like a “Big Brother” government that in novels instills fear in everyone. . .

The school recently sent hundreds of letters to students who apparently had not yet given school officials their latest and more accurate COVID-19 details.

The school threat started out: “I am writing to you on behalf of Student Conduct Services at the Student Resolution Center because information provided to our office by the Pandemic Preparedness Team indicates you have not submitted your proof of vaccination or requested an exemption. Since your non-compliance with this requirement poses a threat to the safety and well-being of the university community, the following interim measure applies to you.”

It then states a “trespass order.”

“Effective immediately, you are trespassed from all university property until May 16, 2022. This means you are not permitted to be on any university property or in any university buildings, this includes but is not limited to, residence halls, university apartments, dining halls, in-person classes, the Morgan Library, the Rec Center, and the Lory Student Center. Please note that faculty are not required to make alternative arrangements for the students to complete their course work away from campus while you are trespassed from campus. If you are found on university property or in any university building you may be cited or arrested for trespassing and face further disciplinary action.” (Read more from “College Threatening to Arrest Students Who Fail To Disclose Vaccine Status” HERE)

College Students Lash Out at Draconian COVID-19 Measures: Schools Enforce ‘Bio Buttons,’ GPS Tracking, Restrict Off-campus Travel and Threaten to Arrest Kids Who Don’t Declare Their Vaccine Status

By Daily Mail. College students at schools across America are lashing out against ongoing COVID-19 rules that include tracking them with apps, restricting their travel, threatening them with arrest unless they disclose their vaccination status, and making them leave the classroom if they want to take a sip of water. . .

The University of Southern California, where fees are $60,446 a year, will not allow students to even take sips of water in class because it means they would have to slip their masks down to their chins. They must leave the room if they want to have a drink. . .

Many students say the rules are an ‘overreach’ by college staff and a violation of their privacy.

They have organized Change.org petitions to reverse rules like a mandatory ‘bio button’ at Oakland University in Michigan that would give schools student health data but also track their movements. . .

Angry students who opposed it said it was too much of an invasion. (Read more from “College Students Lash Out at Draconian COVID-19 Measures: Schools Enforce ‘Bio Buttons,’ GPS Tracking, Restrict Off-campus Travel and Threaten to Arrest Kids Who Don’t Declare Their Vaccine Status” HERE)

Assistant Health Secretary Is First Transgender Four-Star Officer

/0 Comments/in , /by

Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine made history Tuesday by becoming the first openly transgender four-star officer in America’s eight uniformed services.

Levine, 63, was ceremonially sworn in as an admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced. . .

President Biden nominated Levine as assistant secretary for health in February of this year and [he] was narrowly confirmed by the Senate the following month. [He] is the first transgender person to hold an office that requires Senate confirmation.

Levine had previously spent three-and-a-half years as Pennsylvania’s health secretary, where [he] oversaw the Keystone State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During [his] confirmation process, Levine was criticized by some Republicans for being in charge when her department ordered COVID-19 patients to be readmitted to nursing homes — similar to the scandal that enveloped the administration of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. (Read more from “Assistant Health Secretary Is First Transgender Four-Star Officer” HERE)

Exposed! Clinton Lawyers Tied to Disinformation About Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

The indictment of Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann for allegedly lying to the FBI sheds new light on the pivotal role of Democratic operatives in the Russiagate affair. The emerging picture shows Sussmann and his Perkins Coie colleague Marc Elias, the chief counsel for Clinton’s 2016 campaign, proceeding on parallel, coordinated tracks to solicit and spread disinformation tying Donald Trump to the Kremlin.

In a detailed charging document last month, Special Counsel John Durham accused Sussmann of concealing his work for the Clinton campaign while trying to sell the FBI on the false claim of a secret Trump backchannel to Russia’s Alfa Bank. But Sussmann’s alleged false statement to the FBI in September 2016 wasn’t all. Just months before, he helped generate an even more consequential Russia allegation that he also brought to the FBI. In April of that year, Sussmann hired CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm that publicly triggered the Russiagate saga by lodging the still unproven claim that Russia was behind the hack of Democratic National Committee emails released by WikiLeaks.

At the time, CrowdStrike was not the only Clinton campaign contractor focusing on Russia. Just days before Sussmann hired CrowdStrike in April, his partner Elias retained the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump and the Kremlin.

These two Clinton campaign contractors, working directly for two Clinton campaign attorneys, would go on to play highly consequential roles in the ensuing multi-year Russia investigation.

Working secretly for the Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS planted Trump-Russia conspiracy theories in the FBI and US media via its subcontractor, former British spy Christopher Steele. The FBI used the Fusion GPS’s now debunked “Steele dossier” for investigative leads and multiple surveillance applications putatively targeting Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.
