    Disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock suggested that “more stringent” lockdown measures should have been imposed during the Chinese coronavirus crisis. Appearing before a public inquiry into the British government’s handling of the Chinese coronavirus, the head of the response to Covid-19, Matt Hancock, admitted that the government’s strategy was “completely wrong”. However, rather than admitting the failures of the Communist Chinese-inspired strategy of locking down the country, the ex-health secretary suggested that the government should have imposed more draconian restrictions and instituted them quicker.
  • IRS Floats Strict Rules for Political Groups Before 2014 Midterm Elections

    Breitbart´s Big Hollywood ^ | 12/5/13 | Kerry Picket
    The Internal Revenue Service quietly proposed new regulations aimed at 501(c)(4) organizations during the Thanksgiving recess that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, called "a crass political effort by the Administration to get what political advantage they can, when they can." Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations were apparently singled out by the IRS starting in 2010, and the heavy hand of government suppression of these groups may have greatly attributed to Obama´s re-election, an American Enterprise Institute study revealed in October. The Washington Post reported last week the Treasury Department said the new rules...

    There’s something curiously missing from this story on Chicago’s Mantu Dance Company. It may be the only time the company has made big news without a mention of Barack and Michelle Obama in years. One can only imagine the headlines were it so closely linked to a Republican President. Illinois officials are taking a closer look at a nonprofit dance company that was awarded a $4.5 million state grant in 2003 for a planned performing arts center on the South Side that has yet to begin construction.

    The Obama administration issued strict rules Monday under which even some small changes to existing health care plans will make them subject to the requirements of the new health care reform law. The president promised repeatedly during the health care debate that individuals who like their current plans would be able to keep them. To meet that goal, the health care law envisioned that some plans would be “grandfathered in” under the old law — and therefore would not be required to meet some of the mandates of the new law, such as no-charge preventive care screenings.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Rudy Giuliani assured a conservative legal group Friday that if elected president he would appoint federal judges who adhere to their principles. He also praised a judge who declared the capital city's gun ban unconstitutional and ridiculed efforts to eliminate the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. In a speech marking the 25th anniversary of the Federalist Society, Giuliani spelled out a conservative legal agenda in which he cited Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts as models for the judges he would appoint to the federal...

    TAMPA - Before David Kelley went to Iraq, he bought his wife a "Support Our Troops" sign to display outside the couple's home in the Westchase subdivision. When Kelley, an Army private, went overseas in November, Stacey Kelley posted the sign outside their home. For her, the sign is a daily reminder of the sacrifice her husband and fellow soldiers are making. But officials of Westchase, in northwest Hillsborough County, view the sign differently. They say the 2-foot-high sign violates community rules. Stacey Kelley, 24, received a letter from the homeowners association last month stating she could be fined $100...

    A Supreme Property Rights Disaster In The Making More Kelo on the SCOTUS horizon?... [James S. Burling] 8/15/05 After a term marked by the Supreme Court’s utter contempt for property rights, those of us who happen to think there is something special about allowing old widows to keep their homes were not prepared for an even more bitter defeat. Yet, that is what President Bush handed us with the nomination of John Roberts. The battle over property rights is not a conservative versus liberal thing. It’s more a struggle between those who believe in the power of the state to...

    List of Characteristics Important to Black Americans Cited Today's announcement of a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court provides President George W. Bush with an important duty that has the potential to affect judicial decision-making for generations to come. Members of the black leadership network Project 21 are calling upon the President to ensure that all nominees under consideration will preserve and protect the U.S Constitution. Peter Kirsanow, a Project 21 member and commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said: "I'm confident that the President will nominate someone with integrity and wisdom who understands that the proper role...

    My reaction to Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement was almost as positive as my reaction in 1981 was negative when the Reagan administration announced that they were going to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court. It wouldn't matter if all nine Justices of the Supreme Court were women, if these were the nine best people available. But to decide in advance that you were going to appoint a woman and then look only among women for a nominee was a dangerous gamble with a court that has become dangerous enough otherwise. The recent outrageous Supreme Court decision making anyone's...

    If a sentient being from a different universe were to observe and assess the cultural debate in the United States, it would likely conclude that proponents for the various sides are locked in a life and death struggle for supremacy, and the being would not be far wrong. In a recent speech, one of President' Bush's Judicial Nominations, Justice Janice Rogers Brown of the California Supreme Court asserted that the cultural divide in the United States is as marked as anytime since the Civil War. The ACLU is reported to have severely criticized her for her "intemperate" remarks. This raises...

    London 14.02.05 | Lately, in conversation with myself, I have been trying to argue in favour of socialism/communism. International, non-Venezuelan supporters of the Bolivarian revolution often accuse us, as political opponents of Chavez, of being 'Pinochetistas'. Deprived from common sense or decorum, Marxist advocates of communism/socialism the world over continue basing their relentless attack on free market/capitalism on the gross violations to human rights done under Pinochet's rule and I do believe everyone must concur with that predicament. However it is impossible to hear them criticize the equally horrendous and statistically larger record of abuses to human liberties done by...

    A girl being hunted by police in Uganda for wearing no knickers at a party has been arrested and freed without charge. The girl, believed to be 17, faced a jail term of up to seven years for indecent assault. She was apparently pictured wearing a miniskirt with no pants. The teenager was photographed in Ugandan newspapers dancing on a stage at a New Year's street party in Kampala. The police insisted she had no knickers, but the girl claimed she had been wearing a G-string, reports Enter Uganda. Police seemed divided after finally arresting the girl, known as Jamel,...

    Though the San Bernardino diocese(California)has had,since 1993,a zero tolerance policy regarding sexual abuse of minors by priests and diocesan employees, Bishop Gerald Barnes, on Thursday,May 2,announced new reforms to prevent sexual molestation, according to a May 3 Los Angeles Times report."As a diocese we're taking new initiatives and strengthening existing ones,"said Bishop Barnes.The new policies include the mandatory fingerprinting of priests,deacons,sisters and lay men who work or will work with children,and a PROHIBITION AGAINST CONFIDIENTIAL SETTLEMENTS with victimes of molestation.This last policy, said diocesan spokesman, Father Howard Lincoln, would be retroactive.Since its founding in 1978,the diocese of San Bernardino has...
