Joe Biden Selects Transgender Health Official for HHS; He Forced Nursing Homes to Accept COVID Patients, Even His Own Mom

By Breitbart. President-elect Joe Biden announced Tuesday he had chosen Dr. Rachel Levine to serve as the assistant secretary of health for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine, born Richard Levine, is an openly transgender individual and would mark the first transgender official confirmed by the United States Senate, if approved.

Levine is currently the Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in charge of the local response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts,” Biden said in a statement, praising Levine’s “steady leadership and essential expertise.”

Levine served as a controversial public official in Pennsylvania leveling business and restaurant lockdowns and bans and defending them as a critical way to stop the spread of the virus. (Read more from “Joe Biden Selects Transgender Health Official for HHS” HERE)

Biden Health Pick Forced Nursing Homes to Accept COVID Patients

By Washington Free Beacon. Biden health nominee Rachel Levine directed Pennsylvania nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients—even as [he] pulled [his] own mother out of a longterm-care facility over pandemic concerns.

President-elect Joe Biden named Levine assistant secretary for health in a Tuesday announcement, saying [his] “steady leadership” was needed “to get people through this pandemic.” But as Pennsylvania’s health secretary, Levine faced considerable scrutiny.

Last March, [he] issued a directive requiring nursing homes to take in COVID-positive patients. Trade groups warned the decision could prove costly. The American Health Care Association said it would put “frail and older adults who reside in nursing homes at risk” and “result in more people going to the hospital and more deaths.”

Nearly two months after instituting the policy, Levine confirmed that [he] had moved [his] 95-year-old mother out of a longterm-care facility and into a hotel. At the time, more than two-thirds of Pennsylvania’s coronavirus deaths had occurred in such facilities. Multiple Republicans responded with calls for Levine’s resignation. State lawmaker Russ Diamond accused Levine of “withholding information” by failing to make Pennsylvania residents “immediately aware of her actions” and the “underlying reasons” [he] took them. . .

Pennsylvania was one of only a handful of states to issue the nursing-home directive, but it slipped under the national media radar, which focused on larger states like New York. (Read more from “Biden Health Pick Forced Nursing Homes to Accept COVID Patients” HERE)

Federal Judge Releases BLM Capitol Rioter Without Bail

John Earle Sullivan, a far-left agitator who was present at the Capitol riots on Jan. 6 and recorded a woman’s death at the hands of police, was released from jail on Friday without bail, according to Fox News.

According to Utah District Magistrate Judge Daphne Oberg, the motion for Sullivan’s detention was denied because it didn’t meet the court’s threshold for a hearing. Prosecutors had asked for Sullivan to be retained in jail at least until inauguration day. . .

Federal judges have denied bail to others who took part in the Jan. 6 chaos. Not Oberg.

“The court orders John Earle Sullivan’s release, in this case, based on a finding that the government did not establish a basis to hold a detention hearing…Because the court finds the threshold conditions under § 3142(f) have not been met, it cannot hold a detention hearing and, thus, cannot detain the defendant,” Oberg wrote.

City Takes Immediate Action After ‘Racist’ Banner Declaring ‘White Lives Matter’ Found

Officials in a northern California promptly removed a “White Lives Matter” that was posted on city property over the weekend, declaring the sign a “despicable act of vandalism.” . . .

According to KPIX-TV, police in Union City — a town not far from Oakland — took down the banner early Saturday morning. Law enforcement conducted an investigation into the banner, but concluded that no crime had been committed.

The crux of the issue, according to Union City Mayor Carol Dutra-Vernaci, is that whoever erected the banner did not have the proper permit to place it on city-owned property.

In a statement, the city said it was “disgusted” by the “racist” sign. . .

City leaders also said they will “remain on heightened alert to make sure racist incidences like this do not happen again in our community.” (Read more from “City Takes Immediate Action After ‘Racist’ Banner Declaring ‘White Lives Matter’ Found” HERE)

Mike Lindell: 79 Million Votes for Trump and 68 Million for Biden

Mike Lindell was at the White House on Friday for a meeting with President Trump. When he left the premises he ensured the faithful that President Trump would be President for four more years.

Mike Lindell has been working hard to right the wrongs of the stolen election. And last night he shared his information with the president[:]

He explains what happened, some of the nefarious gatekeepers he interacted with, and the evidence he brought to President Trump.

Lindell claims he brought it all, internet records with IP addresses and the full documentation that proves President Trump won big….to the tune of and exact final count of 79 Million votes for President Trump and 68 Million votes for Joe Biden.

Honestly, even that seems like more votes than I would have expected for Sleepy Joe, but it would be more than enough to easily hand President Trump a landslide win.

Trump’s Former Personal Physician, Who Drew Attention During Campaign, Dies

President Trump’s former personal doctor, Harold Bornstein, who once declared Trump “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” has died at 73.

Bornstein died Jan. 8, and a paid death notice was included in the New York Times on Thursday. Bornstein served as the president’s physician from 1980 until after Trump reached the White House in 2016.

Bornstein, who sported a distinctive look featuring shoulder-length hair, briefly entered the limelight after Trump began questioning his former political opponent Hillary Clinton’s stamina and fitness for office. As those questions were returned to him, Trump released a glowing 2015 medical report signed by Bornstein, leading the media to pay attention to the longtime doctor.

Mike Huckabee Calls for Kamala Harris to Be Impeached

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) says given the reasoning behind the House of Representatives’ second impeachment of President Donald Trump, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris should face the same punishment. . .

“If we’re going to impeach Donald Trump for what he said, then we’d better impeach Kamala Harris for saying the things she did last summer about the rioters and the looters,” Huckabee told Fox Business over the weekend, pointing out that Harris even established “a monetary fund to get them out of jail on bail so they could get back to the riots.”

“If we’re gonna play this game, everybody should have a turn,” he added.

Major Twist in U.S. Capitol Storming Might Have Gutted the Democrats’ Narrative on Trump Impeachment

. . .[A]fter the articles were passed after a day of political theater from these clowns, we’re getting reports that this whole incident may have been pre-planned. Yes, our great and hopelessly anti-Trump FBI finally came in promptly to drop this development after the Democrats had set this “remove Trump” train into motion. And of all outlets, CNN was the one to report on it:

Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says.

Among the evidence the FBI is examining are indications that some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve items to be used in the assault on the Capitol.

A team of investigators and prosecutors are also focused on the command and control aspect of the attack, looking at travel and communications records to determine if they can build a case that is similar to a counterterrorism investigation, the official said.

23 Die After Receiving Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths — all nursing home patients — apparently related to the side effects of the shots, health officials said.

Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said in a Friday statement.

All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old. While officials aren’t expressing serious concern, they are adjusting their guidance on who should receive the vaccine.

The news comes just over a week after officials reported the deaths of just two nursing home residents after they received the Pfizer jab.

More than 30,000 people in Norway have received the first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna coronavirus vaccine in the Scandinavian country since late last month, according to official figures. (Read more from “23 Die After Receiving Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine” HERE)

Trump Planning Major “Farewell” Event at Military Base on Inauguration Day; Pompeo Stands By Trump In Farewell Tweets

By Newsmax. President Donald Trump now plans to leave Washington to hold a farewell event on the morning of Inauguration Day, after considering leaving a day earlier, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters Friday.

Trump, who announced on Jan. 8 that he would not attend Democrat Joe Biden’s inauguration, is planning to hold his event at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where Air Force One is headquartered, the source said.

The departure ceremony under consideration could be an elaborate event with the feel of a state visit, The Associated Press reported, citing an unnamed person familiar with the planning who spoke on condition of anonymity because Trump’s plans have not been formally announced. The plan under consideration could involve a red carpet, color guard, military band, and 21-gun salute, AP reports.

Pompeo Shapes Legacy and Stands by Trump in Farewell Tweetstorm

By KKOH. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo chose the day of his boss’s impeachment to promote a very different kind of recognition for Donald Trump: Award the president the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pompeo’s Wednesday morning tweet said simply: “cc: @NobelPrize” beneath a picture of Trump with Israeli and Arab leaders at the signing of a diplomatic agreement with the Jewish state in September.

It was part of what’s now a two-week campaign by Pompeo on Twitter and in speeches and interviews to recount what he sees as the foreign-policy successes of the Trump administration’s “America First” approach. He’s boasted about making America safer and “leadingfromthefront” without acknowledging the grim reality of a nation shaken by some 4,000 daily deaths from the coronavirus and by the Jan. 6 riot by Trump supporters fired into action by the president.
