  • Preventing 'Unvaxxed' Grand Slam Champion Novak Djokovic From Playing The US Open Is An Outrageous Embarrassment

    08/26/2022 4:16:48 PM PDT · by SeekAndFind · 15 replies
    Novak Djokovic, a 21-time Grand Slam champion, is being robbed of the opportunity to further his legacy in the world of tennis, simply because he isn’t vaccinated. He announced on Twitter yesterday that he would not be able to travel to the U.S. for the U.S. Open due to travel restrictions mandating vaccination for entering the country.Keeping Djokovic off the court more than 2 years after the pandemic’s inception makes absolutely zero sense, especially because, as I profiled in a piece just days ago, the CDC has now changed its guidelines regarding people who have been in contact with someone...
  • 55 years on from Bobbie Gentry’s mystic masterpiece 'Ode to Billy Joe' and its prescient message

    It’s a truth universally unacknowledged that Bobbie Gentry is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. There’s a literary nod in that opening line fit for her too. After all, she is the singing Carson McCullers—an outpost of classic Southern mysticism woven with the weathered air of a crooked history and a backbone as tough as old boots holding everything upstanding. And sadly, all too often overlooked in favour of gaudier lights and the names displayed in them. With wit and wisdom, Gentry conjured the sort of songs that you can sink into. The atmosphere embalms them with pillow-propped...
  • CDC Finally Admits COVID Mutations Hobbled Vaccine Effectiveness: Timing is suspect - as vaccine manufacturers are on the cusp of rolling out Omicron-targeted shots by Labor Day.

    The CDC has admitted what was ban-worthy 'fake news' just months ago - that Covid mutated to evade current vaccines which were created for the original strains, after nearly 40% of the people hospitalized in the US with Omicron were vaxxed and boosted.As Bloomberg reports, from the end of March through May, when omicron BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 subvariants were the dominant strains, weekly hospitalization rates for all adults spiked, with those over 65 suffering the worst - though it should be noted that total omicron hospitalizations were far lower than when the delta variant was the dominant strain last fall.Of...

    AUGUST 26, 2022 – On August 25, 2022, the Department of Defense (DoD) released its Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan (CHMR-AP), which lays out a series of major actions DoD will implement to mitigate and respond to civilian harm. The plan, directed by the Secretary of Defense, creates new institutions and processes that will improve strategic outcomes, optimize military operations, and strengthen DoD’s ability to mitigate civilian harm during operations through a reinforcing framework. It will facilitate continued learning throughout DoD, enhance DoD’s approach to assessments and investigations, and improve DoD’s ability to effectively respond when civilian harm...

    A heckler accused President Joe Biden of stealing the 2020 election while he was delivering remarks during a rally. During a rally on Thursday in Rockville, Maryland, the heckler could be heard shouting, “You stole the election! You stole it! You stole it…!” After the crowd began booing, Biden said, “No, no, no, no! Let him go. Let him go. Let him go. That’s okay.” Addressing the crowd a few moments later, Biden added, “Folks! Folks! Folks! Ignorance knows no boundaries.” The president received applause from the crowd. Biden continued to shout, “But we never gave up!” He added, “We...

    I might not be the smartest man in the room but I have sense. Suppose the day after an election the people that voted show up in a rally in a nationwide movement. Drones allow counting. Easy comparison. The MSM can try to hide the overheads. They will not be able to. Someone should start a show your vote movement. Day after, take a day off. Show up. If you were serious enough to vote, and if you have been cheated repeatedly even down to dog catcher, it will be the biggest nut punch to the bunch of losers who...

    Powerlineblog ^ | 08/26/2022 | John Hinderaker
    A redacted version of the Affidavit that was the basis for DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago raid was made public today. In my judgment, it adds little to our knowledge of the case. The Affidavit recites various statutes and recounts the history of 15 boxes of documents that were removed from the White House to Mar-a-Lago and subsequently sent to the National Archives by President Trump. It says that those boxes included some documents that were marked as classified. It recites that there are additional boxes still at Mar-a-Lago, and says there is reason to believe that these boxes, too, may contain classified...

    PHILADELPHIA, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Three years before retiring from the U.S. Army in 2017, Donald Trump-backed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano posed in Confederate uniform for a faculty photo at the Army War College, according to a copy of the photo obtained by Reuters. The previously unreported photo, released by the War College to Reuters after a request under the Freedom of Information Act, showed Mastriano in a 2013-14 portrait for the Department of Military Strategy, Plans, and Operations, where he worked. Faculty at the time had been given the option of dressing as a historical figure, people familiar...

    Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax that Attorney General Merrick Garland might not have enough to indict former President Donald Trump based on the Mar-a-Lago raid's affidavit.During a Friday appearance on "American Agenda," the Harvard law professor emeritus took issue with the Justice Department seeking a search warrant so early. However, he still argued that there was enough probable cause to issue it."I've gone through the affidavit very carefully, and I don't see any justification for them seeking a search warrant," Dershowitz said, noting that a subpoena was issued. "What was the rush?"So, I think that Merrick Garland has the burden of...

    U.S. food and beverage companies are racing to keep operations running during a nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide. Companies including Tyson Foods and Kraft Heinz Co. have been searching for carbon dioxide as supply disruptions this summer exacerbated existing shortages, threatening production of goods from cold cuts to beer. Carbon dioxide is widely used throughout food and beverage industries, including to stun animals before they are slaughtered and to chill and process meat. The gas puts the pop in soft drinks and the fizz in beer, and is turned into dry ice to keep food frozen. [Snip] Maintenance shutdowns at...

    DECATUR, Ala. (WAFF) - A pedestrian was hit and killed in the parking lot of the Walmart Neighborhood Market on 6th Avenue in Decatur. Irene Cardenas-Martinez with the Decatur Police Department says officers responded to the incident at approximately 9 p.m. on Aug. 25. At the scene, officers arrested 33-year-old Preston Nelson on the charge of murder, according to online court documents. According to the Decatur Police, Nelson parked in a handicap spot near the store’s entrance and waited until Sain came out. Once Sain was behind Nelson’s car he reversed, pinning Sain between his Mercury Grand Marquis LS and...

    The Chosen – Now Streaming Online I’ve watched The Chosen, Season 1 & 2 and was quite pleased. The quality is very impressive for a crowd funded production. Unlike Gospel of John, which kept very carefully to the Book, there was plenty of creativity employed. But unlike the debacles of Exodus: Gods and Kings (Moses) and Noah, it does not undermine the story. Instead it supports the narrative. Case in point, the clip below is one of my favorite stories – Jesus and the woman at the well. This story has been butchered and reimagined for centuries. Many have assumed...

    Authorities suspect a Gretna woman who used gasoline to light a barbeque grill accidentally set her neighbor's house ablaze Saturday evening when the fuel can ignited, according to an arrest report. No one was injured in the fire at a home in the 3000 block of Hero Drive, said Chief Michael Labruzza of the Davy Crockett Steam Fire Company No. 1. But resident Ruby Villacorta Romero, 33, was arrested and booked with negligent arson, Gretna police said. Villacorta had planned to cook on an open grill that was set up under a carport at her residence, Gretna police said. The...

    A high-profile Washington, D.C. conservative pundit exploded in anger during a podcast interview he was conducting when his guest suggested that the burgeoning conservative Christian nationalist movement would inevitably push for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage. After asserting that Dave Rubin’s gay “marriage” is something “beautiful,” Ben Domenech, a Fox News contributor and founder and former publisher of The Federalist, lashed out at his guest, National Conservatism movement leader Yoram Hazony, who had said that “gay marriage is already back on the table,” ripe for a revitalized national public debate. Domenech, showing...
  • FBI warrant for Trump search relied on media reports, like earlier bungled Russia FISA warrants

    Just The News ^ | Updated: August 26, 2022 - 3:06pm | John Solomon
    Like the Russia collusion FISA warrants before it, the FBI search warrant for Donald Trump's Florida estate relied on multiple news media reports from outlets such as Breitbart and CBS to justify its unprecedented request to raid a former president's home. For instance, the bureau relied on a local CBS report to establish that Trump had moved boxes suspected to contain documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago in mid-January 2021, just before he left office, according to the partially redacted FBI affidavit made public by a court Friday. "According to a CBS Miami article titled 'Moving Tucks Spotted At...
