Slovenia's regulation forbidding people without 'COVID certificates' from pumping fuel shows governments are getting increasingly creative in their coercion. It’s hard to know what’s real and what’s fake on the internet these days. So when I stumbled on a Twitter post that claimed automobile drivers in Slovenia were forbidden from pumping gas without a COVID certificate, I was skeptical. All the tweets I found were screenshots of a single story published by TV N1 Zagreb, a news partner of CNN. Attempts to find information of this alleged regulation on the Slovenian government’s website didn’t go well (I don’t read Slovenian!),...

San Francisco will become the first city in the nation to announce plans to have children 5 and up show proof of vaccination in certain indoor settings. The decision comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine for ages 5-11. According to NBC, the rule will apply in gyms, restaurants, and sporting events. San Francisco Health Officer Susan Philip said the city will give adequate time for children to be vaccinated before implementing the rule. "That will happen no sooner than about eight weeks after the vaccine is available to kids,” she said. “So, there...

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday said it’s possible that Americans could eventually carry around certificates of immunity to the coronavirus once proper testing is widespread enough.“That’s possible,” Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN’s “New Day.”“It’s one of those things that we talk about when we want to make sure that we know who the vulnerable people are and not,” he said. “This is something that’s being discussed. I think it might actually have some merit.”Sen. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican, has pitched the idea of an immunity registry to document people no longer believed to be...

I was listening to the radio this morning when I heard of a bill that has been proposed in the Maryland Legislature. House Bill 30 states: From the summary: "Establishing the Maryland Education Fund; providing that after a specified date, the balance remaining on a gift certificate shall be presumed abandoned; requiring a person that sells or issues a gift certificate in the State to remit to the Comptroller the remaining balance on gift certificates on or before a specified date each year; etc." From the bill itself: (C) (1) THE BALANCE REMAINING ON A GIFT CERTIFICATE SHALL BE PRESUMED...

WASHINGTON, March 9, 2007 – Two home-front groups are helping American citizens support servicemembers and their families worldwide through the donation of gift certificates. “Gift of Groceries” and “Gifts from the Homefront” allow contributions to be made through “CertifiChecks” that can be redeemed at military commissaries and exchanges worldwide. Both groups are members of America Supports You, the Defense Department program connecting grassroots organizations with men and women of the military at home and abroad. Mike Baskerville, vice president of sales at CertifiChecks, first contacted the Defense Commissary Agency about starting the program in 2002 after he had difficulty...

WASHINGTON, May 11, 2006 – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making it easy for anyone to honor America's troops with "Gifts from the Homefront" gift certificates. Anyone, even non-authorized exchange customers, can send these gift certificates to military servicemembers serving in operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom. On May 20, 1950, the first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. It was a day for the military to show state-of-the-art equipment to the civilian population they were protecting, and a day to honor the people of the Armed Forces of the...

KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee's driving certificate for illegal immigrants isn't supposed to be valid as a form of ID, but it's so popular that people are paying hundreds of dollars and traveling hundreds of miles to get one. Tennessee has issued more than 51,000 certificates since 2004 when it became the first state in the nation to offer them -- since joined by Utah. But not every certificate has gone to someone living in Tennessee. Two major federal arrests in recent months exposed black-market shuttles carrying South and Central American immigrants south from New Jersey and north from Georgia to state...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2005 – A company based in Monahans, Texas, has partnered with a grassroots-level America Supports You organization to distribute 300 gift certificates for tactical gear to deployed servicemembers.

Brand provided the gift certificates for its line of nylon tactical gear to the Soldiers' Angels organization to distribute in care packages for deployed servicemembers. "We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Spec.-Ops. Brand to provide holiday gifts of their products that we know our troops will...

Hi All..  Never posted anything but replies before today. Please move this to an appropriate venue, if this is not.   But I have a question I thought some nice Freeper would be able to help with.   My husband is a MSgt. in the Marine Corps, stationed in Kuwait at Camp Commando. He flew a commemorative flag in honor of  both of our boys.  The flags were flown over Camp Commando on the 4th of July.  Each comes with a very nice certificate authenticating the event.   My question is;  Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a...

Security researchers say they have found a serious flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser that could expose credit card and other sensitive information of Internet surfers. The IE problem has been around for at least five years and could allow an attacker to intercept personal data when a person is making a purchase or providing information for e-commerce purposes, said Mike Benham, an independent security researcher based in San Francisco. "If you ever typed in credit card information to an SSL site, there's a chance that somebody intercepted it,'' he said, referring to the Secure Socket Layer protocol for...
