Ted Cruz Introduces Bill Banning Feds Maintaining Vaccine Database
Ted Cruz Introduces Bill Banning Feds Maintaining Vaccine Database:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is introducing a bill banning the federal government from maintaining a vaccine database amid President Joe Biden’s door-to-door outreach across America to pressure citizens to take the coronavirus vaccine.
“When the Biden admin calls for ‘targeted’ ‘door-to-door outreach’ to get people vaccinated, it comes across as a g-man saying: ‘We know you’re unvaccinated, let’s talk, comrade,'” Cruz tweeted Thursday evening.

Most Voters Want Schools To Teach Traditional Values - Rasmussen Reports
Most Voters Want Schools To Teach Traditional Values - Rasmussen Reports
At a time when many schools are embroiled in controversy over the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT), voters still think it is important that kids learn traditional values in school.
A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 78% of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s at least somewhat important for schools to teach the traditional values of Western Civilization, including 52% who say it’s Very Important. This is virtually unchanged from four years ago, and in line with surveys dating back to 2013. ...Read all.
Rand Paul on CDC Guidance, Federal Mandates on Masks: 'It's About Submission'
Rand Paul on CDC Guidance, Federal Mandates on Masks: 'It's About Submission':
Friday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized the justification for mask mandates, arguing that they were not based on science.
“It’s about submission,” he said. “There’s never been any evidence of spreading events in the schools. The kids do very well with this. The idea that we’re going to put masks on the kids, and then we’re going to punish the kids who, for their own medical decision-making or their parents, decide not to submit to this mandate. To me, it’s the biggest, basically advertisement and encouragement to get out of the government schools. Go to private schools, if you can afford them, teach your kids at home. But don’t submit to the state, don’t submit to the government.”
School District That Suspended Kids Over BB Guns At Home Forced To Pay Up
School District That Suspended Kids Over BB Guns At Home Forced To Pay Up
You may recall the story of Ka’Mauri Harrison, the Louisiana elementary school student who was suspended from school last year after a teacher briefly spotted a BB gun in Harrison’s room during a virtual class session. Harrison had simply picked up the BB gun from the floor of his bedroom and put it away so that his younger brother wouldn’t trip over it, but the mere sight of the BB gun through the boy’s laptop camera was enough to cause the Jefferson Parish School District to claim that Harrison had violated the district’s weapons policy, and they
barred from attending class, even online, for several weeks.

Not long afterwards, a sixth grader in the same district was suspended for basically the same reason; an accidental and brief display of a BB gun...Read all.
Dude ain't no leader!-----Biden Administration Claims Cuban Anti-Communist Protests Are About 'Rising COVID Cases/Deaths'
Biden Administration Claims Cuban Anti-Communist Protests Are About 'Rising COVID Cases/Deaths'
"President Joe Biden’s administration responded to protests in Cuba against the Communist regime on Sunday by issuing a statement through a minor official commending protests “about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages.”
On Sunday, protests broke out in Havana and several other Cuban cities, during which people chanted “Freedom!” and “Down with the dictatorship!” while marching against Communist Party institutions. The New York Times noted that while the demonstrations were triggered by “food and medicine shortages,” they also “openly protested against the Communist government” for the first time in nearly 30 years. Some activists called it the largest spontaneous popular protest since Fidel Castro took power in 1959, with protesters openly denouncing the regime of Miguel Diaz-Canel.

North Dakota Gov.: Biden Oil and Gas Lease Halt Has Already Cost over $100 Million in Lost Revenue, Could Cost Billions if It Continues:
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) discussed his state’s lawsuit against the Biden administration’s halt on oil and gas leases on public lands and said the suspension of the leases has already cost state, county, and local governments over $100 million in lost revenue, and “going forward, the cost could easily run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and if it went on permanently, it could be billions of dollars.”

You are Now in the Totalitarian Zone
Before I get to the bad news, let me start with some good news. Christopher F. Rufo tweets that the revulsion against Critical Race Theory being taught in schools is showing results. Nine states have already banned it: Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Idaho. As more people realize this effort to divide us into what Scott Adams calls “losers and assholes” I expect we will see more states banning the teaching of this perfidious, noxious, baseless nonsense. On the other hand, there seems no backing off of it in the military, where it can do nothing but weaken our defense capabilities.
Other good news is that courts are rejecting efforts to scrap voter reform. Voter Reform is winning, and it’s what the voters want:
Voters want reform...
...The bad news this week, is that the media is still feeding us baloney, the surveillance state is growing and we now have -- with judicial acquiescence -- a group of political prisoners in D.C. and a lunatic FBI dragnet against everyone who was anywhere near the Capitol on January 6.

"Increasingly, Americans are trusting the media sources less and less that they used to rely on unquestionably to keep them informed but that is the fault of those same media outlets, not the people who distrust them.

"The point is not whether the states should have the power, or the federal government should have the power ... the point is [lockdowns] do not work. And not only do they not work, we know that once you give these people the power to shut down businesses, to say you have to be at home ... and the rest of the nonsense, they will gladly keep taking the power," Dave said.

Harris: Voter ID Could Mean People Have to Copy ID and Send It In and People Live in Areas Where There Isn't a Kinko's or OfficeMax
Harris: Voter ID Could Mean People Have to Copy ID and Send It In and People Live in Areas Where There Isn't a Kinko's or OfficeMax:
During a portion of an interview with BET set to air on Friday that was broadcast on Thursday’s “CBS This Morning,” Vice President Kamala Harris responded to a question on whether she’d compromise by agreeing to voter ID provisions to pass voting legislation by stating that we shouldn’t downplay the impact voter ID laws could have. Because to some, voter ID means, “you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove that you are who you are.” And many people live where “there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no OfficeMax near them.”

The way we were-----The Longest Investigation In Aviation History | Hidden Danger | Mayday: ...
"PART 2 | It’s only when another Boeing 737 has a similar problem to the previous unresolved incidents – but doesn’t crash – that investigators crack the case open. The pilot of Eastwind 517, is on final approach into Richmond Virginia when, without warning, his 737 twice rolls sharply to the right. The pilot is able to recover and land the plane safely. NTSB investigators quickly determine that what happened on board Eastwind 517 is alarmingly similar to events on flights 427 and 585. The pilot’s testimony leads investigators to zero in on the 737’s rudder controls. After a series of gruelling tests, investigators discover that a key piece of equipment – a small hydraulic valve - jams and then functions in reverse under the right circumstances. It means that any time a pilot tried to correct a rollover, by pushing on the rudder, the rudder might turn in the opposite direction, causing a fatal accident.
In the aftermath of the investigation, sweeping changes were made to improve the safety of the 737 and the entire aviation industry. New training protocols were designed to help pilots react to unusual in-flight events, upset recoveries and advanced manoeuvre training. The FAA also directed Boeing to redesign the rudder’s dual servo valve to eliminate the potential for reversal. Boeing spent more than a billion dollars to replace the valves on thousands of 737’s around the world."
They ALL lie!-----IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS:
IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS:
[Lauren Wolfe] argues that there is no way to be totally neutral as a reporter.
‘As journalists, we can all use what appears to be a ‘neutral voice,’ but that doesn’t mean our implicit bias isn’t guiding our choice of sources, or even what stories we decide to cover,’ she explains.
‘Pretending that we’re all able to be constantly and utterly objective just feels absurd to me. Instead, I’ve always believed it is better to be open about my views on the issues I cover, which for a long time have been war and international human rights. And yes,
I often do write with an agenda—with an eye toward creating change,’ Wolfe added.
That’s fine — as long as you, and/or your publisher disclose your biases. Fortunately, the gray lady did just that in 2004.--Posted by
