A primary school teacher who sent thousands of pounds to people and groups linked to terrorism has been banned from the classroom. Miriam Sebbagh sent money to a person connected to Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) – of which Anjem Choudary was among the prominent members - and an individual who was thought to have left the UK to join Isis. She also sent extremist videos which promoted violent jihad. The 52-year-old, who worked at Hunwick primary school in Crook, County Durham, has now been banned from teaching "indefinitely" by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA). Sebbagh was arrested by Counter Terrorism Policing North...

As shocking as it may seem, the Democrats are right about something for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day; even Eric Swalwell occasionally mates with someone who is not a Chi Com spy, shutting her eyes tight and doing her booty duty for Beijing. The Dems are right that we need election reform to save our democracy. I propose that we change how we conduct elections, good and hard.Now, the Democrats have a very different objective in reforming the election system than we do. They seek to make it easier for lazy and stupid people to...

Aside from labeling herself an “affirmative action baby,” Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor once suggested she was a “wise Latina.” Given this, apropos here is a line from ancient Chinese sage Confucius: “Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.” Sotomayor certainly failed this test during oral arguments on Friday over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 “vaccine” mandates, making outlandishly incorrect claims that have brought her mockery. “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators,” she stated...

You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are both attached to the body of big corrupt government. In this food supply chain issue, the Republican wing sees an opportunity. In this food supply chain issue, the Democrat wing sees an opportunity. Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for...

In Supreme Court arguments on the OSHA COVID Vaccination Mandate case, the “Wise Latina” revealed at least Sixth Degree Stupidity for all to see. One should not casually suggest that a graduate of law school who has ascended through the ranks to the highest Court in the land is stupid. But that is the inescapable conclusion her performance requires. For those who missed the demonstration of her upward failure, we must present the details. But first, we must look at the question the Supreme Court is supposedly trying to address. Justice Kavanaugh granted the emergency appeal in NFIB v OSHA,...

Perhaps the Right was a little hasty with its condemnations of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. Early in 2021, Noem proposed legislation that would require all athletic contests in the state to be designated as male, female, and both, and that only those born female would be allowed to compete in girls’ sports. The proposal ran into some headwinds — the NCAA was making noises about canceling all events in any state that enacted such a ban, and others raised concerns about the reporting requirements and how it would be determined whether or not athletes had taken anabolic steroids in...

On July 6, 2021, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed SB 7196 into law. The law is specifically designed to overrule the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). On December 16, 2021, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and 14 additional plaintiffs (including, I am glad to say, a local gun store, Sprague’s of Yuma, Arizona) sued the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, to stop implementation of the law, designed to violate the Constitutional rights of all Americans. From the lawsuit:1. This lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of a New York statute that was enacted with...

For most infections, early treatment is imperative to prevent late complications. Gangrene infection in the toe must be treated aggressively to prevent losing not only the toe, but also a foot or leg if the infection is inadequately treated and spreads. Those with cardiovascular disease are treated with statins and blood thinners as outpatients to prevent more serious disease and subsequent hospital care for stroke and heart attack with a much higher probability of disability or death. COVID has been with us for almost two years and yet there are still not officially and medical establishment endorsed outpatient treatment protocols...

The Boston Police Department has put the most vocal critic of the city’s vaccine mandate on leave amid an internal-affairs investigation a week ahead of the jab deadline. Sgt. Shana Cottone, the head of the recently formed group Boston First Responders United, is now on administrative leave from the department, the Boston Police Department confirmed. A spokesman said it’s due to an open internal affairs investigation, so no further information is available. Cottone said BPD officers came to her house and took her badge and gun Saturday morning. “They’re trying to come after me — to silence me,” Cottone told...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Sunday rebuked Rep. Jody Hice (Ga.), his challenger in the upcoming GOP primary, as being "double-minded" when it comes to the most recent national elections. "The person I'm running against, Congressman Hice, he's been in Congress for several years. He's never done a single piece of election reform legislation. Then he certified his own race with those same machines, the same ballots, and yet for President Trump, he said you couldn't trust that," Raffensperger said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "That's a double-minded person, and as a pastor, he should know better. So...

Kazakhstan Denies US-Funded ‘Military Biological Lab’ Seized By Rioters After Russia Claims Potential Pathogen Leak Kazakh officials have denied that a US-funded ‘military biological laboratory’ was seized by rioters in the recent unrest, which has seen at least 160 dead since the violence broke out just one week ago.

Pictures of Kazakh secret service operatives...

Republican Sen. Mike Rounds rejected claims of mass voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. "The election was fair — as fair as we've seen," he said during an interview on ABC's "This Week."

A swimmer who represented Great Britain at the last Paralympic Games says he is "sick to death" of being laughed at because of his dwarfism. Will Perry, from Northamptonshire, said there was a "big party" after Tokyo 2020, but once the celebrations ended the abuse started again. He has a common form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and said people like him were often filmed or laughed at in the street. The 21-year-old has called on people to challenge those doing it. He said: "With dwarfism, I face a lot of public abuse. I believe it happens because in so many...

"Key Points The 34-year-old Serbian national and world number one was detained in an immigration facility last week after arriving in Melbourne ahead of the Australian Open. Djokovic, a vocal vaccine skeptic, had his visa revoked and passport confiscated after customs officials decided he did not have sufficient medical justification for a vaccine exemption. Tennis star Novak Djokovic has won his court battle in Australia after his visa was canceled due to his Covid-19 vaccination status ahead of the Australian Open. Australian Federal Judge Anthony Kelly read out the ruling in an emergency virtual court hearing Monday. “The court will...

It’s hard to put into words what Shirley Jean Vaughan meant to all of us in the pet community. There were also the military veterans she supported, her clients, her neighbors, and her friends in Alcoholics Anonymous and at the Hosanna Church in Bellflower and Cottonwood in Cypress, where she regularly attended. It’s also hard to condense both her accomplishments and the pages and pages of quotes and memories that countless people expressed into a handful of paragraphs. It’s difficult, and it’s painful. So was the shock of her sudden death to everyone who knew her. I was riding in...

"Accused mother and high school teacher Sarah Beam, 41, has been charged with endangering a child. A Texas mother and high school teacher, who was charged with child endangerment for locking her 13-year-old child in the trunk of her car after the kid tested positive for COVID-19, is revealed to have expressed eyebrow-raising remarks about blurring the line between the classroom and home practices. Accused mother Sarah Beam, 41, was charged with endangering a child by the Cypress-Fairbanks Police Department over the incident. Newly-revealed video footage depicts Beam virtue signalling about how the classroom "should be an extension of my...

As hundreds of students and teachers scrambled for remote learning on the first day of class in 2022 due to a spike in COVID cases, the community was rattled by other news — the sudden death of superintendent Tim Mains. Mains, 73, died suddenly on Dec. 30. While the district declined to share the cause of death citing personal privacy, town of Wallkill police chief Robert Hertman said Mains died after a medical emergency call. Hertman said a man called and reported he was having a medical emergency on Dec. 30. After receiving no answers to their knocks on the...
