Allison Williams is out at ESPN due to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The college football and basketball sideline reporter, who announced last month she was opting out of the season because she had not received the vaccine as she and her husband tried for a second child, said Friday night that her “request for accommodation” had been denied.

Key Points The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which will give exposure to bitcoin futures contracts but not the spot market, will trade under the ticker “BITO.” The Securities and Exchange Commission had not formally approved the creation of bitcoin futures ETF as of Friday afternoon and the agency may never make a formal declaration of approval for it. The proposed date for the listing is Monday, according to the new filing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s when it will begin trading. That could come later in the week.

The madness of vaccine mandates is spreading across the country. In Washington where radical leftists control much of the government, law enforcement officers are being fired over not complying with Governor Jay Inslee’s vaccine mandates. One cop had a message for Inslee as he signed off for the final time after 22 years:

Liberal partisans who want to crush any shred of fairness in reporting are latching on to a Friday column in the Los Angeles Times by Jackie Calmes, who was an “objective” reporter for decades. The headline was "Why journalists are failing the public with ‘both-siderism’ in political coverage."Jay Rosen, the academic guru of unabashed socialism in the news columns and newscasts, tweeted "I have been waiting for this column — by a former political reporter — for a very long time." This was the theme:

Dr. Stella Immanuel, a COVID-19 frontline doctor from Houston believes that the whole “pandemic” is a Trojan Horse for vaccines designed by Bill Gates to depopulate the earth. Dr. Stella went viral for speaking the truth about the life-saving COVID-19 treatment Hydroxychloroquine and her ongoing bravery in this fight against the establishment.

If a public school teacher had done this to a child, he would have been removed from the classroom and possibly brought up on charges. Something is clearly wrong with President Biden.

Biden Taps Heterodox Catholic to Represent US at Vatican Joe Donnelly is Biden’s idea of a sound Catholic. In early October, Joe Biden nominated Joe Donnelly, a former Indiana Senator, to serve as his ambassador to the Vatican. News coverage of the nomination has been misleading. “Biden nominates pro-life Democrat Donnelly as new Vatican ambassador,” says National Catholic Reporter. Donnelly is not pro-life, at least not in any consistent sense. “He has voted with Planned Parenthood Action Fund 67 percent of the time since he’s been in Congress,” reported the Indianapolis Star in 2018.Like Biden, Donnelly is a Democrat first...

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson argued on Sunday that former President Donald Trump’s allegations of voter fraud during the 2020 election could spell disaster for Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Mr. Hutchinson, who has not ruled out a run for the GOP nomination in 2024, made the comments during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Re-litigating 2020 is a recipe for disaster in 2022,” he said. “The election is passed, it’s been certified, the states have made decisions on the integrity of each of their elections and made improvements where need be.” Mr. Hutchinson urged Republicans to focus on the...

More than 300 black churches across Virginia are expected to desecrate their sanctuaries by broadcasting a video message from Vice President Kamala Harris. The video, which you can watch below, urges black voters to support Democrat gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe. CNN first reported that the video message that will air during morning services from now until election day as part of an outreach effort aimed to boost McAuliffe. Harris said her time growing up in Oakland’s 23rd Avenue Church of God taught her it was a “sacred responsibility” to “lift up the voices of our community.” “I believe that my...

There’s no way ignoring the gang problem in Haiti anymore. The armed bandits, who since 2004 have sprouted under the watch of United Nations peace missions, now control most activities in the country. So, finally, there’s great concern by members of the international community about what’s happening in the Caribbean-island nation. ---SNIP--- The U.S. is committed to strengthening the Haitian National Police’s institutional capacity, including basic training, defending human rights, and countering impunity.”

And even all that spending isn’t enough: Social Security’s “unfunded liabilities” — how much money the government would need today to make up the difference between the money that will be paid into Social Security in the future and the benefits that have been promised — is about $40 trillion. How much is $40 trillion? It is all the money in the world — literally: All the cash in circulation, plus all the deposits in checking accounts and savings accounts, adds up to about $40 trillion. That is a big hole to climb out of. Just as inflation can cause...

A union in Britain that represents academics has declared its commitment to allowing members to "self-identify" not only as being of the opposite sex, but also as black or disabled. The Edinburgh branch of the U.K.-wide University and College Union said on Twitter it strongly supports "trans inclusion," the Times of London reported. "Liberation cannot be built on exclusion," the tweet said. The tweet contained a link to a policy endorsed by the union that states: "UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify, whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women." TRENDING: Woman who survived Maoist...

The head of the Baltimore Police union on Friday encouraged officers not to reveal their vaccination status ahead of a city mandate scheduled to go into effect next week, citing a lack of communication between city officials and the bargaining unit. “It is understandable that our members have questions about a policy with so little information being provided by the city. Until the city responds to our right to bargain these issues, or the courts intervene, I suggest you do nothing in regard to revealing your vaccination status as it is outlined in the city’s policy,” wrote Sgt. Mike Mancuso,...

Secretary of Non-Transportation Pete Buttigieg is set to go on Eternity Leave while the nation grapples with major supply-chain disruption. But before setting off to cuddle with a baby that he had nothing to do with creating with his same-sex partner, he left us with some consoling words of wisdom about the massive mess he is leaving us. It’s actually a good thing. No, seriously. Buttigieg aka Mayor Pete appeared with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of Confusion and disclosed his strategy for handling the supply chain crisis. Do nothing.

A meme-inspired song based on the anti-Biden chant "Let's Go Brandon!" roared at popular sports events across America is rapidly taking over the internet and is currently sitting at the number one spot on the iTunes hip-hop chart The song is performed by rapper Loza Alexander, and its title is "Let's Go Brandon."

Alexander can be seen in the video wearing a red MAGA-style hat with white lettering...
