Today, Biden announced that he was going to drop the demand that employers force-vaccinate their employees. This comes after his poll numbers are lower than that of Nixon at the end of the Watergate hearings. It comes after court after court, including the Supreme Court has ruled that this requirement is unconstitutional, though how they justified allowing it for federal employees or federally-funded (even when only paying for medicare and medicaid patients) hospitals remained in effect is anyone’s guess. Okay, the Supreme Court is just as corrupt as everything else, that’s the answer. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has...

A university's new student messaging system resulted in a costly clerical error after staff members were testing out the technology. Over the weekend, Central Michigan University mistakenly notified 58 applicants that the school had awarded them full rides and would cover their tuition and room and board plus provide an additional stipend. The same high school seniors were also told that they had been admitted to the school's honors program. "He was absolutely over the moon when he got the message," the mother of one of the students, 17-year-old Parker Christensen, told CMU's student newspaper. "He was having an out-of-body...

Ian Smith, co-owner of New Jersey-based Atilis Gym, was sentenced Thursday after refusing to close his gym during the Garden State’s lockdown and resisting all orders from the state. The defiant gym owner was fined $1.2 million for his noncompliance but he never backed down, going so far as to remove the gym’s doors so police couldn’t lock them. “Thanks to all who joined in on our sentencing hearing. So many came that the server crashed. We got one year probation for the crime of taking our doors off to prevent government goons from locking us out of our gym....

The federal government needs to be more proactive in alleviating healthcare workforce shortages, Rick Pollack, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, wrote in a Jan. 27 letter on the organization's website. In the letter, Mr. Pollack wrote the dire workforce shortages the healthcare industry is facing are projected to get worse. He wrote that by the end of 2022, the industry is set to lose 500,000 nurses, mostly through retirement. In addition, because of shortages in teaching staff and difficulties with classroom space, nursing schools had to turn away more than 80,000 qualified applicants in 2019. He suggested...

Several Iranian state television channels were hacked yesterday, and viewers were stunned when a ten-second caption appeared on the screen reading "Death to Ayatollah Khamenei" next to a picture of Iran's supreme leader with a red "X" over his face. A man is heard shouting in the background "Salute Rajawi, death to Khamenei." An exiled opposition group called MEK claimed responsibility for the hack. A picture of opposition leaders Masoud and Miriam Rajawi, who live in Paris, appeared on Iranian screens as well, and a sound byte from one of Rajawi's speeches was used during the hack. Iranian state television...

Embracing affirmative action is virtually a job qualification for university administrators. The same is true, alas, for faculty and students in the humanities and social sciences. They march in lockstep toward a society permanently categorized by race, all with the best of intentions but not the best of outcomes. They aren’t just woke. Their eyelids are sewn open. They have no intention of snoozing if the Supreme Court rules their current admission policies are illegal. They will stand proudly in the schoolhouse door, protecting policies they believe promote “social justice” and “equity.” Their tactics to evade the court are surprisingly...

Just days before the FDA was set to release over 12,000 documents related to the experimental Covid-19 vaccines, Pfizer asked a federal court to allow it to intervene before any information is released to the public.Unsurprisingly, the FDA wholeheartedly agreed, asking the court to allow the vaccine maker to ‘help’ curate the documents, which would also buy the agency more time to release the much anticipated, and likely damning, data. (snip) Federal officials in the FDA and DOJ also told the court that they want Pfizer’s ‘help’ with redacting the documents because of “the unprecedented speed with which the Court...

VIDEOThe CBC is conducting a smear campaign in Canada to portray the Freedom Convoy truckers as composed of a bunch of dangerous extremists. Maybe they should import the Patriot Front undercover feds to try to lend absurd credibility to their claim. Oh, if and you want to see real news from Canada, then watch Rebel News which the government up there is constantly trying to suppress.

Multiple polls show that the massive convoy of Canadian truckers that is heading toward Ottawa, the nation’s Capital, enjoys popular support among Canadians, despite the prime minister’s claim that the protesters represent a “fringe minority” with “unacceptable views.” Up to 50,000 “freedom truckers” are descending on Ottawa this weekend to protest vaccine passports. (numerous twitter videos) “In Canada we have one of the biggest revolutions happening. Right now there’s 50,000 truckers and 1.4M people headed to the parliament in Ottawa. And they’re going to stay there until Trudeau resigns, or they give us back all of our freedoms and rights,”...

The report is voluminous, and closes with the following resolution: Resolved, That the employment of an agent to make purchases for the Government, with a compensation dependent upon the extent and costliness of his purchases, is unwise, inexpedient, unjust,...

We want to ask our readers: Why is it that the most liberal metro areas have some of the worst violent crime in the country if liberals are so peaceful and loving? We gravitate to Baltimore City, where the city’s top prosecutor halted prosecuting minor crimes in early 2021. Before the new policing approach, the metro area had already been overtaken by a violent crime wave since the 2015 riots. And it’s only getting worse. According to local news WMAR-TV, 25 days into the new year, there have already been 31 homicides. “We’re not even a full month into the...
