Nurse Suspended for Shunning Masks, Letting Her Children Have Play Dates

A hospital in Salem, Oregon, suspended one of its nurses after people complained about a video she had posted online in which she claimed to still travel, forgo masks, and allow her children to play with others.

Salem Health posted a message on its Facebook page on Saturday announcing that it had placed the nurse on leave. The hospital took action against the nurse after a number of people complained that she was violating social distancing guidelines. The hospital’s Saturday post said:

Yesterday, a nurse employed with Salem Health posted a video on social media which displayed cavalier disregard for the seriousness of this pandemic and her indifference towards physical distancing and masking outside of work. This video has prompted an outcry from concerned community members. We want to thank those of you who brought this to our attention and assure you that we are taking this very seriously. This individual does not speak for Salem Health and has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

We also want to assure you that this one careless statement does not reflect the position of Salem Health or the hardworking and dedicated caregivers who work here.

Salem Health believes we all need to do our part to protect the vulnerable and stop the rapid spread of COVID-19. This includes requiring staff, patients and visitors to follow guidance from the CDC and others about mask wearing and social distancing. The COVID pandemic is serious and requires a serious response. And at Salem Health we are very serious about our approach to COVID.

AG Barr: DOJ Has Not Uncovered Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud; Barr Appoints John Durham as Special Counsel for ‘Russia Collusion’ Conspiracy Theory

By Breitbart. Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, according to an interview he gave to the Associated Press.

Barr reportedly told the AP that U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up on specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they have uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” he said.

Last month, Barr issued a memo authorizing U.S. attorneys to pursue substantial allegations of voting irregularities before the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election. . .

“There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that,” he said.

Barr Appoints John Durham as Special Counsel for ‘Russia Collusion’ Conspiracy Theory

By WND. If Joe Biden is inaugurated president, depending on the outcome of election fraud disputes, he will be in the office occupied most recently by President Donald Trump.

He also will face a special counsel investigation, as did President Trump. . .

It’s because Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham a special counsel on Tuesday to investigate the origins of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Special counsel Robert Mueller spent nearly years and more than $45 million investigating but wound up debunking many claims and concluding there was insufficient evidence.

The appointment means that the investigation of Barack Obama administration officials who launched the probe against Trump will continue even if Biden is installed in office. (Read more from “Barr Appoints John Durham as Special Counsel for ‘Russia Collusion’ Conspiracy Theory” HERE)

Anti-Israel Radical Named as Biden’s Deputy White House Press Secretary

On Sunday, Joe Biden’s transition team announced that Karine Jean-Pierre would become the principal deputy White House press secretary. Previously, Jean-Pierre was both a senior advisor and chief of staff to Kamala Harris.

However, Jean-Pierre is also notoriously anti-Israel.

In 2019, as a national spokesperson for the radical-Leftist group MoveOn.org, Jean-Pierre commended the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates for boycotting the annual American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference. She wrote in Newsweek at the time that “AIPAC’s policies are not progressive policies. AIPAC’s values are not progressive values.”

Jean-Pierre criticized AIPAC for hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, writing that “under his leadership of Israel, according to the United Nations, Israel may have committed war crimes in its attacks on Gazan protesters.” She has also accused the group of “severely racist, Islamophobic rhetoric.”

Trump Reportedly Planning To Announce 2024 Run — During Biden’s Inauguration; Fox News Continues to Trash Trump: ‘Can’t Wrap His Brain’ Around Losing

By Daily Wire. While the end may be near for President Trump, so, too, may be a new beginning.

Trump is reportedly planning to announce a 2024 run for the White House on Jan. 20, 2021 — which just happens to be Inauguration Day.

“According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch,” The Daily Beast reports.

“The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden’s inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.” (Read more from “Trump Reportedly Planning to Announce 2024 Run — During Biden’s Inauguration” HERE)

Fox News Continues to Trash Trump: ‘Can’t Wrap His Brain’ Around Losing

By Breitbart. Fox News Channel host Eric Shawn during Sunday’s broadcast of “America’s News HQ,” accused President Donald Trump of being unable to “wrap his brain around the fact” he lost the 2020 election.

Shawn played a clip from Trump’s interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo earlier in which he said, “This election was a total fraud.”

Shawn said, “That is, of course, President Trump claiming massive voter fraud this morning. His words, ‘they stuffed the ballot box. It was, quote a ‘fake election.’ All this despite the fact that his campaign has failed to prove any of this in court. In fact, your government, election officials, experts, and others — many of the Republican — including Trump-appointed officials say that the president’s claims are false and unsubstantiated.” (Read more from “Fox News Continues to Trash Trump: ‘Can’t Wrap His Brain’ Around Losing” HERE)

Report: ‘Smartest Man in the Room’ Has Joined Sidney Powell’s Team

In a brand-new analysis published in American Thinker, a prominent witness has reportedly joined the team of attorney Sidney Powell and has “stated under oath that there was massive computer fraud in the 2020 election, all of it intended to secure a victory for Joe Biden.”

The report, authored by Andrea Widburg, identifies the expert as Dr. Navid Kershavarz-Nia, whom she calls “one of the weightiest names in the world when it comes to sniffing out cyber-security problems.”

“We know how important Dr. Kershavarz-Nia is because, just two and a half months ago, the New York Times ran one of its Sunday long-form articles about a massive, multi-million-dollar fraud that a talented grifter ran against the American intelligence and military communities” Widburg writes. “Dr. Kershavarz-Nia is one of the few people who comes off looking good:”

Navid Keshavarz-Nia, those who worked with him said, “was always the smartest person in the room.” In doing cybersecurity and technical counterintelligence work for the C.I.A., N.S.A. and F.B.I., he had spent decades connecting top-secret dots. After several months of working with Mr. Courtney, he began connecting those dots too. He did not like where they led.

The piece in American Thinker touts the doctor’s “extraordinary academic and practical skills in cyber-fraud detection and analysis,” explaining it took “seven paragraphs for him to list them in the declaration he signed to support the Georgia complaint.” (Read more from “Report: ‘Smartest Man in the Room’ Has Joined Sidney Powell’s Team” HERE)

Trump’s COVID Advisor Resigns

Dr Scott Atlas has resigned from the White House coronavirus task force[.] . .

Donald Trump appointed the radiologist and fellow at a conservative think tank to the task force as an adviser in August. The role was set to expire next week.

In a letter obtained by Fox News and dated 1 December, Dr Atlas said that he “worked hard with a singular focus – to save lives and help Americans through this pandemic,” adding that he “always relied on the latest science and evidence, without any political consideration or influence” despite pushing false claims that undermined experts and health officials as infections continued to surge. . .

Dr Atlas – who has been highly critical of lockdown measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus – has also has clashed with other members of the task force, with infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci telling The Washington Post last month that he believes Dr Atlas is “a smart guy who’s talking about things that I believe he doesn’t have any real insight or knowledge or experience in.” (Read more from “Trump’s COVID Advisor Resigns” HERE)

Waffle House CEO Rips COVID-19 Lockdowns

The COVID-19 lockdowns have crippled the restaurant industry to such a degree that Waffle House CEO Walt Ehmer is sounding the alarm.

Speaking with Stuart Varney on Fox Business, Ehmer lamented that the lockdowns are taking away people’s livelihoods, threatening to create a dark Christmas.

“Our people have been decimated by these restrictions,” Ehmer said. “And when you look at the states where people are not allowed to work, we’re taking away people’s livelihood, we’re taking away their hope for a future, especially this time of the year, people can’t consider buying their kids Christmas presents.”

“It’s devastating to the people and the people can’t wait until spring,” he added. . .

Ehmer argued that his restaurants have been particularly sensitive to COVID concerns by not being open 24 hours a day and voluntarily shutting down “dining rooms at night because we recognize in some circumstances the alcohol does play a role in terms of people socializing a little too much and crowds gathering.” (Read more from “Waffle House CEO Rips COVID-19 Lockdowns” HERE)

Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine

A total of 12 articles of impeachment have officially been filed against Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine over abuse of power during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Ohio State Rep. John Becker (R) was joined by Representatives Candice Keller (R), Nino Vitale (R), and Paul Zeltwanger (R) in filing articles of impeachment against Governor DeWine, according to a report by Cleveland 19 News.

The representatives argue that DeWine has abused his power during the pandemic, noting that the governor vetoed Senate Bill 55 — and threatened to veto other General Assembly legislation, including Senate Bill 311 — which seeks to severely limit the governor’s power during a pandemic.

“Governor DeWine’s mismanagement, malfeasance, misfeasance, abuse of power, and other crimes include, but are not limited to, meddling in the conduct of a presidential primary election, arbitrarily closing and placing curfews on certain businesses, while allowing other businesses to remain open,” said Rep. Becker’s office in a statement.

“He weaponized the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to bully and harass businesses and the people; to enforce a statewide mask mandate and other controversial measures of dubious ‘value,’ making Ohio a hostile work environment,” the statement added.
