Supreme Court Agrees To Take up Another Challenge To Controversial Biden Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up a second challenge to the Biden administration’s bid to forgive millions of student borrowers’ debt after it agreed earlier this month to hear arguments over a separate case early next year.

The decision to take up the case, U.S. Department of Education v. Brown, came after the Biden administration petitioned the case to the justices earlier this month following an appeals court’s decision to continue a block on the costly debt relief program. The lawsuit was initially brought by borrowers who argued the White House improperly put together the plan without a public comment period before it went into effect.

The conservative Job Creators Network Foundation, which sued on behalf of the plaintiffs, lauded the high court’s decision in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

“If this illegal program isn’t stopped, it will give the executive branch a blank check, not only for this president but every future president without any input from Congress or any public participation,” JCNF President Elaine Parker said.

Biden’s America: President Invites Drag Queen To Attend Bill Signing at the White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden invited drag queen Marti G. Cummings to attend the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act at the White House.

Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have greenlit the legislation, which enshrines same-sex marriage protections into federal law in accordance with the Supreme Court’s opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges. Democratic lawmakers recruited 39 Republicans in the lower chamber and 10 in the upper chamber to support the bill, which is expected to be signed into law on Tuesday.

Cummings shared a screenshot of the White House invitation on social media and expressed thankfulness toward the Biden administration.

“To be a non-binary drag artist invited to the White House is something I never imagined would happen,” the drag queen said. “Grateful doesn’t begin to express the emotions I feel.” (Read more from “Biden’s America: President Invites Drag Queen To Attend Bill Signing at the White House” HERE)

Trump or Biden in 2024? Americans — Neither!

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Pollsters with the CNBC All-America Economic Survey asked if President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump should run again. The resounding answer for both: No.

The survey found that 61% of the public thinks Trump should not run again (even though he has already announced his bid). And even more (70%) said Biden shouldn’t run for a second term — just 19% want him to go again.

For Trump, 37% of Republicans don’t want him to run again; 61% of independents and 88% of Democrats agree.

Again, worse for Biden: 57% of Democrats said No Joe in ’24, along with 66% of independents and 86% of Republicans.

The poll found that 47% of those who don’t think Biden should run cited age as a major reason, including 61% of Democrats and 66% of seniors, CNBC reported. The younger set was different: just 43% of the 18-49 demographic group cite age as a major reason for Biden, 80, not to run. (Read more from “Trump or Biden in 2024? Americans — Neither!” HERE)

School Fired Teacher Who Refused To Use Preferred Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Ohio middle school teacher sued her school district Monday, accusing the district of violating her First Amendment rights after she was abruptly fired for refusing to affirm students’ stated gender identity or use their preferred pronouns.

In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Vivian Geraghty, a former teacher at Jackson Memorial Middle School in Massillon, Ohio, accused administrators at the school and Jackson Local Schools of violating her right to freedom of speech and free exercise of religion when they fired her earlier this year for refusing to address two students who had claimed to have new gender identities by their preferred pronouns and names.

The lawsuit says Geraghty, who is represented by the conservative legal group the Alliance Defending Freedom, was informed on Aug. 16 that two of her students wished to be addressed by new names and pronouns that did not correspond to their sex. Six days later, on Aug. 22, the school counselor directed Geraghty and other teachers to “participate in the social transition of the two students.” . . .

Carter allegedly informed Geraghty at that meeting that he avoided using pronouns whenever a student sought to be addressed by pronouns that did not correspond to their biological sex. But half an hour later, Geraghty was again summoned to Carter’s office, where she was asked by Carter and Monica Myers, the director of curriculum, instruction, and assessment for Jackson Local School District, to explain her Christian religious beliefs and why she could not cooperate with the social transition of the two students.

“After Ms. Geraghty explained her beliefs … Defendants Carter and Myers told Ms. Geraghty that ‘she would be required to put her beliefs aside as a public servant,'” the lawsuit says. “Ms. Geraghty explained that she could not put her beliefs aside, and she did not believe she could be compelled to do so as a condition of public service.” (Read more from “School Fired Teacher Who Refused To Use Preferred Pronouns” HERE)

Flying Home for the Holidays? TSA Is Using Your Face as Your ID at These Airports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Holiday travelers may see a familiar face as they pass through airport security checkpoints this month: their own.

A dozen major U.S. airports have allowed the Transportation Security Administration to test state-of-the-art technology that gives airline passengers the option of having their face scanned at the checkpoint rather than handing a driver’s license or boarding pass to the officer for visual inspection.

The rollout of this technology nationwide moves the TSA toward automating identity verification, similar to how Department of Homeland Security agency U.S. Customs and Border Protection scans the faces of incoming and outgoing international passengers.

“Biometric technology has the potential to enhance security effectiveness, improve operational efficiency, and yield a more streamlined passenger experience at the TSA checkpoint,” TSA spokesman Daniel D. Velez wrote in an email. “TSA recognizes that biometric solutions must be highly usable for all passengers and operators, considering the diversity of the traveling public.” (Read more from “Flying Home for the Holidays?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Both parties are seeking the opportunity to investigate the election results from the midterms, claiming Lake the real winner.

According to the lawsuit, the certified results point to errors and inaccuracies, however makes it clear they are not “by this lawsuit, alleging any fraud, manipulation or other intentional wrongdoing that would impugn the outcomes of the November 8, 2022, general election.”

Lake’s complaint argues that voting tabulations were rife with illegal votes, saying “it’s going to get ugly.”

“An order setting aside the certified result of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election and declaring Kari Lake is the winner of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election,” her complaint reads. (Read more from “Kari Lake Files Lawsuit Over AZ Election: ‘It’s Going To Get Ugly’” HERE)

Marine Deprived of Promotion for Refusing Vaccine Mandate, Wife Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Marine Corps major’s promotion has been indefinitely suspended over his religious objection to the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the officer’s wife.

Maj. Nick Harwood was selected for a promotion to lieutenant colonel in December 2021, a recognition of his outstanding record of military service. It was due to take effect this year, but Harwood’s promotion has been delayed indefinitely and will possibly be rescinded, his wife Meghan Harwood said.

“On Nov, 21, my husband received a non-promote letter,” Meghan told The Epoch Times.

“A non-promote letter should have been presented at the time of infraction—when he enacted his Religious Freedom of Restoration Act rights and abstained from receiving a vaccine that violated his religious beliefs,” she said.

Meghan considers command is at fault for the fact that it was presented at the last minute. (Read more from “Marine Deprived of Promotion for Refusing Vaccine Mandate, Wife Says” HERE)

Twitter Censors Allowed Liberals To Spread Election Conspiracy Theories During 2020, Docs Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities at Twitter chose not suppress particular references some liberal figures made to 2020 election conspiracy theories, despite marking some conservatives’ tweets with labels, according to internal communications journalist Matt Taibbi revealed Friday.

An Oct. 27, 2020 tweet by former Attorney General Eric Holder received a generic warning label when he stated that the Postal Service was “deliberately crippled” and called for everyone to vote in person due to Supreme Court rulings, but former Twitter Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth successfully requested the label’s removal, arguing that “everything in it is factually accurate,” Taibbi showed in a Twitter thread. The tweet was seemingly in reference to a Supreme Court decision issued that day not allowing Wisconsin election authorities to count absentee ballots received six days after Election Day.

Some Democrats spread unproven conspiracy theories that the Trump administration tampered with Postal Service collection boxes to suppress votes, after then-President Donald Trump had appeared to suggest on Aug. 13, 2020 that he would veto a bill providing U.S. Postal Service funding to stop it from supporting mail-in ballot use, before contradicting that idea hours later and continuing to voice skepticism toward universal mail-in voting.

Similarly, Roth stated in a message that he was “Not seeing the violation here?” when media personality Rick Rosner tweeted on Oct. 27, 2020 that then-President Donald Trump and new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett would “try to #StealOurVotes,” Taibbi revealed from internal documents. Another Twitter executive, Patrick Conlon argued against labelling the tweet, saying he believed it referenced a “Supreme Court decision on processing mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day.”

The Supreme Court on Oct. 19, 2020 declined to stop Pennsylvania from counting Election Day-postmarked mail-in ballots that would arrive at their destinations during the subsequent three days, with the votes split at 4-4. The Senate had not yet confirmed Barrett when that vote took place, and Barrett immediately faced a motion to recuse herself from voting on a challenge in the post-Election Day ballot delivery case.

Even Biden DOJ Officials Calling Foul on Griner Swap for ‘Merchant of Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

Officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) think it was a mistake for President Joe Biden to swap WNBA star Brittney Griner for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, dubbed the “Merchant of Death.”

Griner was arrested in February at a Moscow airport after being caught with marijuana vaping materials and sentenced to nine years in prison in August. Bout, one of the world’s most notorious arms dealers, was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons to a designated foreign terrorist group to be used to kill Americans.

“If she were my relative, I would want to do the swap,” one DOJ official told The Washington Post. “But trading a notorious international arms dealer for a basketball player is madness.”

The Post said many officials within the department view the one-for-one swap as a mistake, given the glaring disparity between offenses.

Former DEA agent Robert Zachariasiewicz told the Post he was opposed to the move over what it likely reinforces to Russia. (Read more from “Even Biden DOJ Officials Calling Foul on Griner Swap for ‘Merchant of Death” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says MAGA Would’ve Won on Jan. 6 if She Organized It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, suggested that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot would have succeeded if she was in charge.

Greene was among the high-profile guests to attend and speak at an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club in New York City on Saturday evening. Others in attendance included former President Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and commentator Jack Posobiec.

During her address at the event, Greene touched on the Capitol riot, a subject she has been consistently outspoken on, and said that rioters would have been successful had she and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon been in charge of them, according to the New York Post.

“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won,” the congresswoman said. “Not to mention, we would’ve been armed.”
