Scott Jennings: Public Health Regime Needs to Be Turned Inside Out Over COVID

So when Scott Jennings says the public health regime needs to be gutted. He's right. - Amy Curtis
We've told you quite a bit about the purge of so-called experts at the CDC, including Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who penned a very dramatic resignation letter. 

• Dr. Daskalakis is the guy who wouldn't tell gay men to abstain from sex during the monkeypox outbreak a few years ago -- something that was literally part of his job in DISEASE CONTROL.
• Staffers staged a walkout to cheer on the guy who not only sucked at his job but also used pronouns and the term 'pregnant people' in his resignation letter (because he doesn't want them to be 'erased').
• They did tremendous damage to the public's trust in public health, not just with this resignation letter but during COVID and monkeypox, where they put politics before public health...

WATCH:

Nothing of value is lost at the CDC...

• To speed the flow, the ministry proposes setting up medical staging centres near ports and airports, so patients can be stabilised and moved on to their home nations quickly...

MS-13 associate Kilmar Abrego Garcia urges Obama judge to silence DHS, DOJ officials | Blaze Media: 

The DHS official continued, "Once again, the media is falling all over themselves to defend this criminal illegal MS-13 gang member who is an alleged human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator. The media's sympathetic narrative about this criminal illegal alien has completely fallen apart, yet they continue to peddle his sob story."

America's public schools in collapse!-----Half of American Schools Require ‘Equitable’ Grading and Most Teachers Are Opposed - Aaron Gifford

The report identifies five equitable grading practices: 

• unlimited retakes, 
• no late penalties,
• no zeroes, 
• no homework, 
• and no required participation. 

Lackluster student performance has plagued the Schenectady, N.Y., city school district for years. 

The school district, like many others, implemented a “grading for equity” policy in response to dismal test scores...

Bad optics: Walmart scandal exposes deeper immigration hiring abuses * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta

Bad optics: Walmart scandal exposes deeper immigration hiring abuses * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta: 

The current bribery scandal is not an isolated event, but rather is a flashpoint that pulls back the curtain on years of questionable hiring practices. From kickback schemes to vendor favoritism, to its deep ties with Indian outsourcing partners, Walmart's immigration history is riddled with red flags. The company's public denial will not erase the growing perception that Walmart has been part of the broader pattern of visa abuse undermining U.S. workers. Walmart's Immigration Profile:

Europe's open borders, welfare largess has it facing disaster: Will it shift course?

Mass protests are now common in Britain against the Labour Party’s open borders policies and generous welfare entitlements for immigrants who arrive illegally and without authentic “political refugee” status. - Victor Davis Hanson

Until recently, European politicians and the media sought to either ignore such news or accuse those who clamored for tighter borders, more police protection and stiffer penalties of being “racists” or “xenophobes.”
Until recently, that is...

• Too many immigrants are arriving too quickly, without sufficient diversity, language fluency, skills or familiarity with the customs and culture of their host nations...
• Yet there is no European plan of civic education to assimilate immigrants and teach them the rules, laws and culture of their hosts.
• It is then no surprise that what follows is ghettoization, resentment and loud attacks on the very nation in which they seek sanctuary, denouncing it as decadent and godless...
