Report: ‘The History Makers’ Book Dropped in U.S. for Ignoring Key Black Figures

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new book called “The History Makers” has reportedly been scrapped from publication in the US after it was accused of not highlighting enough black figures.

New York-based writer Richard Cohen told the Guardian how he tried to address the criticism by agreeing to a major rewrite of the book that already took him 10 years to pen.

“It was to do with the publisher’s sensitivities,” Cohen, who moved to the Big Apple from London 20 years ago, told the UK paper.

“I was then asked to write more, and have done about another 18,000 words,” he said, with new sections focusing on pivotal figures like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois and Toni Morrison.

But the rewrite was not enough for Random House, which last Wednesday suddenly dropped out of the estimated $350,000 deal, sources told The Guardian. (Read more from “Report: ‘The History Makers’ Book Dropped in U.S. for Ignoring Key Black Figures” HERE)

Texas: Zero Coronavirus-Related Deaths After Biden Called Ending Mask Mandate ‘Neanderthal Thinking’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas has reported zero deaths from the coronavirus for the first time in nearly 14 months, according to ABC 13.

In a social media post on Sunday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced the news, writing, “0 Covid related deaths–the only time that’s happened since data was tracked in March, 2020”:

In March, the governor announced the end of the statewide mask mandate during an event in Lubbock[.] . .

However, President Joe Biden later criticized the governors of Texas and Mississippi for lifting their mask mandates, calling the decision “Neanderthal thinking.”

“The last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, everything’s fine, take off your mask, forget it,” Biden commented. (Read more from “Texas: Zero Coronavirus-Related Deaths After Biden Called Ending Mask Mandate ‘Neanderthal Thinking’” HERE)

Airline To Force New Employees To Get COVID Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Delta Air Lines will require all new hires in the U.S. to be immunized against COVID-19, the carrier announced Friday, calling vaccines “safe, effective and essential to the future of the airline and our world.”

The Atlanta-based airline noted its progress toward herd immunity within its own workforce, with 60% of its roughly 74,000 employees already vaccinated, the company said. To help maintain that trajectory, Delta will mandate that those joining the company be vaccinated unless they qualify for an accommodation, the company said in a statement. The policy starts Monday.

“Approximately two out of 10 Americans have been infected by COVID-19, and one out of 1,000 Americans has died from the virus. The vaccines are not only extremely effective in preventing illness and symptoms from COVID-19, but they are also nearly 100 percent effective in preventing hospitalization and death,” Delta stated. . .

While it is the first major U.S. carrier to make the move, at least one other airline seems likely to echo Delta in the near future.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby in January signaled his airline would likely join others if they began mandating employee vaccinations, calling it the “right thing to do” for his airline and other companies. (Read more from “Airline To Force New Employees To Get COVID Vaccine” HERE)

Amazon Employees Accessed Mailbox for Union Election Ballots, Worker Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mailbox that was supposed to be accessible only to the US Postal Service was unlocked by two Amazon security guards during a contentious union election in Alabama, according to testimony from worker Kevin Jackson in a hearing Friday. As he was finishing up a night shift, Jackson saw the guards going through the opened mailbox for “a minute or two” as though looking for something, he said, adding that he later saw Amazon employees locking and unlocking the mailbox multiple times.

The testimony came at a hearing before the National Labor Relations Board that will consider complaints from the union that Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama, voted to reject in an election that ended in April. The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union claims that Amazon’s actions during the election amounted to illegal influence on the vote. It was the first union election at an Amazon facility in seven years.

Amazon has said the company had no access to the mailbox, and repeated that statement in response to Jackson’s testimony. (Read more from “Amazon Employees Accessed Mailbox for Union Election Ballots, Worker Says” HERE)

Biden Diverts $2B in Healthcare Cash To Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has taken $2 billion from Americans’ healthcare programs to help deliver migrant youths and children to their illegal-migrant parents throughout the United States, press reports say.

“The Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] has diverted more than $2 billion meant for other health initiatives toward covering the cost of caring for unaccompanied immigrant children,” Politico reported May 15. The article continued:

The redirected funds include $850 million that Congress originally allocated to rebuild the nation’s Strategic National Stockpile, the emergency medical reserve strained by the Covid-19 response. Another $850 million is being taken from a pot intended to help expand coronavirus testing, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

…

In addition to transferring money from the Strategic National Stockpile and Covid-19 testing, HHS also has pulled roughly $436 million from a range of existing health initiatives across the department.

INSANE USA Today Editor : Republicans Who Ousted Cheney Are a Greater Threat Than 9/11 Hijackers

/0 Comments/in , /by

USA Today Deputy Editorial Page Editor David Mastio authored an op-ed Thursday charging that House Republicans who voted for a change in leadership were a greater threat to the republic than the 9/11 hijackers.

Mastio characterized the recall vote on Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s role as Republican conference chair as a singular referendum on President Donald Trump’s claim the November election was stolen, which Mastio decries as “The Big Lie,” a comparison to the Nazi propaganda campaign which led to Holocaust. Cheney’s opponents, therefore, are Trump’s co-conspirators on a mission to overthrow the government.

“As surely as the terrorists of 9/11 wanted to tear down American democracy in 2001, the terrorists of Jan. 6 want to tear down our democracy as well, even as they pose as its defenders,” Mastio wrote. “And unlike the Sept. 11 attackers, they are going to get another chance.”

GOP Lawmaker Caves On Democrats’ 9/11-style Commission To Investigate Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee have caved to Democrats’ demands for a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

GOP Rep. John Katko, the ranking member on the committee, led negotiations with the Democrats to reach a consensus about the commission. His support for the commission is being marketed by the corporate media as “bipartisan support, but the New York representative is one of few Republicans in the House who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump the second time Democrats targeted him. Katko also blames Trump for causing the “insurrection” at the Capitol.

“By deliberately promoting baseless theories suggesting the election was somehow stolen, the president created a combustible environment of misinformation, disenfranchisement, and division. When this manifested in violent acts on January 6th, he refused to promptly and forcefully call it off, putting countless lives in danger,” Katko said in a statement in January.

Pelosi previously proposed having an 11-member committee dominated by seven Democrats while Republicans would have only four members. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Democrat Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and Katko, however, decided a 10-person committee with equal partisanship is necessary to move forward.

Commander Fired After Criticizing Marxism, Critical Race Theory In the Military

/1 Comment/in , /by

A U.S. Space Force commanding officer was fired from his post on Friday after expressing concern on a podcast that Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the U.S. military.

Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colo., was relieved from duty over a “loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead,” a Space Force spokesperson told Military.com.

“This decision was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast. Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity,” the spokesperson added.

Lohmeier earlier this month self-published a book titled “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military,” which is described as “a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces.”

He appeared on the podcast “Information Operation” with host L. Todd Wood to promote the book and spoke out against U.S. institutions, including the military, increasingly adopting leftist practices like critical race theory.

Republicans Demand Answers From Biden About Coronavirus Origins

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have written letters to President Biden and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines demanding information on the origin of COVID-19, claiming they found evidence to support the theory that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab.

The letter accuses the intelligence community of failing to provide timely updates on its investigation and not being “forthcoming” about “what processes it undertook to make seemingly authoritative statements early in the pandemic about the origins of the virus — conclusions that are now in question.

“This casts doubt on the validity of early judgments as well as the analytic integrity of COVID-19-related intelligence reporting,” the letter addressed to Haines states.

“Republican Members are aware of allegations that the IC suppressed dissenting views related to the origins of the pandemic and that the community relied upon ‘outside’ experts with concerning yet undisclosed entanglements,” the letter, signed by Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., asserts.

The letter demands that the intelligence community turn over all of its information on COVID-19’s origins, specifically requesting any reporting on a possible “collaboration” between the Wuhan lab and the Chinese military. It asked for any evidence intelligence agencies had to prove coronavirus broke out naturally and originated in animals.

Sheriff’s Captain Allegedly Fired for Supporting Constitutional Carry

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama state Rep. Shane Stringer (R-Citronelle) was a Mobile County Sheriff’s Office captain until his support for constitutional carry allegedly led Sheriff Sam Cochran to relieve him of his law enforcement position.

AL.com reported that Cochran’s spokeswoman, Lori Myles, said, “Sheriff Sam Cochran made the decisions Wednesday, May 12, because of different political views held by his administration.”

Myles indicated “Stringer’s sponsorship of legislation supportive of constitutional carry ran afoul of the Sheriff’s views on the issue,” the outlet noted.

WALA pointed out that Stringer claims Cochran told him his termination was tied to constitutional carry legislation he is currently sponsoring.

Stringer’s bill, House Bill 618, would mean law-abiding Alabama residents would no longer need to get a permit from the state in order to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms. (Read more from “Sheriff’s Captain Allegedly Fired for Supporting Constitutional Carry” HERE)
