Brazil Faces 10 Million Bag Loss Of Coffee: Preliminary Assessment

WSJ Op-Ed: Why I’m Suing Over My University’s Vaccine Mandate
In a few weeks I will begin my 24th year as a law professor at George Mason University. Last year I volunteered to teach in person, even though I’m in my 50s. Teaching law is my job and I owe my students my best. I also knew I could do it safely. During the spring of 2020 I contracted and recovered from Covid-19, which I later confirmed through a positive antibody test. Multiple positive antibody tests have since confirmed that I continue to have a robust level of immune protection.
But now my employer, a state institution, is requiring Covid vaccines. In my case, vaccination is unnecessary and potentially risky. My only other options are to teach remotely or to seek a medical exemption that would require me to wear a mask, remain socially distanced from faculty or students during, say, office hours, and submit to weekly testing.
It would be impossible for me to perform my duties to the best of my ability under such conditions. The administration has threatened those who don’t submit with disciplinary action, including termination of employment. This week the public-interest lawyers at the New Civil Liberties Alliance filed suit on my behalf, challenging the university’s mandatory vaccination requirement for those with naturally acquired immunity. This coercive mandate violates my constitutional right to bodily integrity for no compelling reason. ...
FOX continues to make bad decisions.
They aren’t sending anyone to Lindell’s Symposium.
Very telling!
CNN is sending 9 people.
That link just froze for me. I’m suspicious already lol.
The link just went down!
I hope they’re keeping an eye on those 9 people - they are likely being sent for nefarious reasons.
Yup. Link down. Media could not be loaded. Bustards.
Prince Andrew Sued By Epstein Accuser Over Alleged Sexual Abuse
In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, said that about two decades ago, Queen Elizabeth’s second son sexually assaulted and battered her.
“I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me,” she said in a statement.
“The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.
“I did not come to this decision lightly,” she added. “As a mother and a wife, my family comes first—and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates—but I knew if I did not pursue this action, I would be letting them and victims everywhere down.”
She alleged that Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell repeatedly abused her sexually and trafficked her to various men, including Andrew. The Duke of York in a 2019 BBC interview claimed that he had “no recollection” of ever meeting Giuffre, despite photographic evidence, and denied all allegations against him.
“I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened,” he said at the time.
“I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”
In her lawsuit, Giuffre alleges that she was sexually abused by Andrew, 61, on three occasions between 2001 and 2002, including once at Epstein’s New York City mansion, where he forced her “to engage in sex acts against her will.”
