National Guardsman Labeled ‘Domestic Extremist,’ Forced Out for COVID Vaccine Refusal

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Maine National Guardsman was hit with faulty accusations of being a “domestic extremist” and pushed out of his job for not taking the COVID-19 vaccine, with the state organization defying a federal correction order to reinstate him.

Maj. Michael Gary was likely the first U.S. service member to preemptively apply for a religious accommodation for the COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020, over a year before Reserve and National Guard members were expected to be vaccinated.

“Nobody has corrected me on this. I believe I’m the first guy in the nation to submit a religious exemption in the COVID era,” he told Breitbart News on Monday. “Mine was December 1 of 2020, before the shot came out.”

According to Gary, his chain of command in the Maine Army National Guard (MEARNG) was “all about” protecting his First Amendment rights when he first applied for an exemption.

“They supported me 100 percent… And then, of course, the shot came out, and over time, my chain of command soured on me.” (Read more from “National Guardsman Labeled ‘Domestic Extremist,’ Forced Out for COVID Vaccine Refusal” HERE)

Whistleblower Claims Somalians Committed Mass Medicaid Fraud In Maine

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Somali-owned company may have defrauded Maine in a manner similar to schemes that ripped off at least $1 billion from Minnesota, a whistleblower told NewsNation Monday.

Christopher Bernardini, a former “billing guru” at Gateway Community Services, said that the company falsified documents to obtain payment from Maine’s Medicaid program for services to low-income and disabled clients, NewsNation reported. Abdullahi Ali, the owner of the company, reportedly ran for office in Jubaland, a region of Somalia, and boasted about funding a militia there, according to The Maine Wire.

“I have a passion for helping people and I thought that we were doing the right thing this whole time,” Bernardini told NewsNation, later adding, “When I had clients calling me to tell me their staff hadn’t shown up and I was told to bill those hours anyway. It just got worse and worse until I started really putting up a stink.”

Bernardini told NewsNation that an electronic monitoring system intended to track field staff was manipulated to make it appear the clients were visited when staff actually failed to show up.

Gateway Community Services received $28.8 million in Medicaid funds from Maine, according to documents obtained by The Maine Wire via a Freedom of Access Act request. (Read more from “Whistleblower Claims Somalians Committed Mass Medicaid Fraud In Maine” HERE)

State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump has fought to protect girls and women in their sporting events, as leftists try to flood the competitions with boys and men who say they are female.

One state has refused to go along with the president’s executive orders, and now is facing an escalated fight because of the agenda demanded by its governor, Janet Mills, a Democrat who publicly defied the president, threatening that she would see him in court.

Earlier, a variety of federal funding programs for the state were blocked by the president, and now the Washington Stand reports the Trump administration has taken legal action to cut off K-12 funding for the state.

It’s over the state’s promotion of transgender agenda points, in which boys and men are allowed in sports created for females.

The report explained, “The Department of Education announced last Friday that it had initiated an administrative proceeding to terminate all K-12 funding to the Maine Department of Education, ‘including formula and discretionary grants,’ over Title IX violations by allowing males who identify as female to compete against and change in front of girls.” (Read more from “State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates” HERE)

Democrat Secretary of State Admits She Personally Decided Trump Was ‘Guilty’ of an Insurrection (VIDEO)

/6 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-supporting Dem activist and Secretary of State from Maine has removed President Trump from the ballot for “inciting an insurrection.”

The issue now is that Trump never incited an insurrection. Furthermore, Shenna Bellows, who isn’t a lawyer and was appointed Secretary of State by the state legislature, not the people, has disenfranchised every single Trump voter in Maine based on her feelings. . .

And in case you were wondering, Shenna and her fellow childless, aging Secretary of State harpies have some deep thoughts on “election sabotage”:

Another State Says Trump Ineligible to Appear on Ballot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, on Thursday determined that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot, but the decision will not be carried out until the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on the controversial state rulings, which continue to pile up.

Like the left-leaning justices in Colorado, Bellows said Trump is disqualified based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, or the Insurrection Clause.

In the ruling, Bellows wrote that she held a hearing on December 15 on three challenges to Trump’s nomination. The first two, she said, “contest Mr. Trump’s qualification for office under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

“The third challenge, filed by Paul Gordon (the ‘Gordon Challenge’), contests Mr. Trump’s qualification under the Twenty-Second Amendment,” the ruling reads.

“For the reasons set forth below, I conclude that Mr. Trump’s primary petition is invalid,” she wrote.

During a Friday night press conference, officials in Maine revealed the body of Robert Card was discovered in a recycling yard in Lisbon, Maine. His body was still in the same clothing that Card was pictured wearing in the photographs police released Wednesday night.

Gov. Janet Mills (D) spoke at the press conference, saying, “The Maine State Police located the body of Robert Card, he is dead.”

She added, “I’m breathing a sigh of relief knowing that Card is no longer a threat to anyone.”

Details on Card’s death are scant, but WCVB indicated the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office announced, “The suspect in Wednesday night’s shootings has been located and is deceased.” (Read more from “Maine Shooting Suspect Found Dead of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound” HERE)

The One Detail That Torpedoes Any Gun Control Narrative in the Wake of Maine Shootings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lewiston, Maine, the state’s second-largest city, was rocked by a horrific mass shooting that left up to 22 people dead and dozens injured. The suspect, Robert Card, remains at large. The manhunt roped in federal and state law enforcement agencies, but despite reportedly finding his vehicle near Lisbon at a boat ramp at Papermill Trail Park, Card is still missing. . .

I hate to get into the politics of this, but Democrats have already started stoking the flames of the gun control fires. That would happen anyway, but can we wait until all the details are released and the damage assessed before we get into this policy fight? We already had the information corrected. Would you like to guess which two things came up regarding the suspect that we’ve heard many times before concerning these crimes? He was known to law enforcement and had severe mental health problems. . .

Card is reportedly a 20-year Army veteran and a trained firearms instructor but had episodes of hearing voices in his head. He made threats to attack a National Guard base in Saco. In the summer of 2023, he was committed for two weeks at a mental health facility:

Governor Poised to Sign Bill Allowing Elective Abortions up Until Birth

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Maine may soon allow elective abortions up until birth, pending final approval from the state’s governor.

The bill — H.P. 1044, An Act to Improve Maine’s Reproductive Privacy Laws — would allow a woman to receive a late-term abortion at any point if it is determined to be “necessary” by a doctor.

It’s likely the legislation will be codified. Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, introduced the bill in January alongside legislative leadership, both also Democrats: House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross and Senate President Troy Jackson. At the time, Mills credited the case of Maine woman Dana Peirce as justification for the expanded legalization of abortion.

At eight months pregnant, Peirce wanted to abort her unborn son after he was diagnosed with a genetic mutation called lethal skeletal dysplasia, as reported by the Portland Press Herald. Peirce ultimately traveled to Colorado for an abortion because Maine law prohibits post-viability abortions where the mother’s life or health are not jeopardized. The law does allow elective abortions up to viability, generally recognized at 24 weeks.

WATCH: 11-Year-Old Reads Aloud From ‘Pornographic’ Book He Checked Out From Library at School Board Meeting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An 11-year-old in Maine spoke out against “pornographic” content in his middle school and wants the administrators to be prosecuted.

Knox Zajac, an 11-year-old sixth-grader, spoke up at a school board meeting last week to read aloud from the book “Nick and Charlie” that he had checked out of his school’s library. The age advisory in this book is 14 years and older.

“Nick and Charlie,” written by Alice Oseman, begins with two early teen boys stealing wine from their parents and proceeding to experiment sexually with one another.

“This book was on the stand. I would like to read you a page,” Knox said at the school board meeting, according to a video posted in the Maine Wire.

Knox proceeded to read, “My back over my hips. I asked if he should take his clothes off. He was saying yes before I finished my sentence. He’s pulling off my T-shirt, laughing when I can’t undo his shirt buttons. He’s undoing my belt. I’m reaching into his bedside drawer for a condom.” (Read more from “WATCH: 11-Year-Old Reads Aloud From ‘Pornographic’ Book He Checked Out From Library at School Board Meeting” HERE)

Mom Fuming as Daughter, 13, Gets Chest Binder at School — And Is Urged Not to Tell Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Maine mom has called for an investigation into her 13-year-old daughter’s school after she claims a social worker gave the teen a gender-transitioning device known as a “chest binder” and encouraged her to keep it secret from her parents.

Amber Lavigne, of Damariscotta, told the National Review that she found her daughter’s chest-flattening garment in December and confronted the teen, who claimed a friend gave it to her.

“I want you to think long and hard if there’s anything else you want to share with me about this because I am going to reach out to your friend’s mom,” Lavigne said she told her daughter.

The girl then admitted she got the device at the Great Salt Bay Community School, where she had been reassigned to a new social worker, Samuel Roy, according to the outlet.

But school officials never informed the mother and Roy never reached out to her, according to the National Review. (Read more from “Mom Fuming as Daughter, 13, Gets Chest Binder at School — And Is Urged Not to Tell Parents” HERE)
