Biden claims that he cares about the religious rights of “all” people -- when he clearly means only “all Muslims.” On May 16, President Biden issued a brief video ostensibly dedicated to expressing his support for the religious freedom of “all” people (though in reality dedicated to only one religious group): All people should be able to practice their faith with dignity, without fear of harassment or violence. We will defend the right of all, as we stand with you. That’s why I ended this shameful Muslim travel ban. And that’s why this administration will speak out for religious freedom...

President Donald Trump will today say he plans to expand his travel ban to include people from the Palestinian territory of Gaza in the wake of the Hamas terror attack on Israel. In a speech in Clive, Iowa, he will also say Americans have been disgusted by anti-Israel protests on college campuses and will promise to deport resident aliens with 'jihadist sympathies.' 'I banned refugees from Syria, I banned refugees from Somalia, and from all the most dangerous places in the world—and in my second term, we are going to expand each and every ban to keep America safe,' he...

The US Open tennis tournament has begun in Queens, and one of the world’s best players will finally be allowed to compete again. Novak Djokovic, who’s declined COVID-19 vaccination, was barred from entering the United States for nearly two years, forcing him to miss multiple major tournaments including the 2022 US Open. Like many others, Djokovic suffered under public-health decision-making that did everything but follow the science. Joe Biden, by presidential proclamation, banned the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen air travelers into the country starting Nov. 8, 2021. Apparently unvaccinated citizens and land travelers did not pose any risk.

Major benefactors to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – Morteza ‘Mori’ Hosseini and his wife Forough – have donated tens of thousands of dollars to a political action committee (PAC) funding the Democratic Party leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the lead impeachment manager against former President Donald J. Trump, Jamie Raskin.Hosseini’s donations to the Iranian American Political Action Committee – Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) span from 2004 to 2011, under his name, as well as aliases “Morteza Hosseini Kargar”, and “Morteza Hosseini-Kargar“. During the same period, the PAAIA PAC funded various Democrat groups, including Friends...

Former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro revealed that the ex-president was allegedly deceived into believing that Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot was a “true vaccine” while blaming Antony Fauci for hiding sensitive information regarding the COVID origin. Fauci and Pfizer “didn’t disclose the side effects of that [vaccine]” to Trump, Navarro said in a May 4 podcast by Patrick Bet-David on YouTube. “And they weren’t clear with him. They made him think that it was a true vaccine when it’s not. It’s mRNA technology.” Traditional vaccines work by introducing a harmless piece of bacteria or virus into the human body to trigger...

Veteran Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward on Monday called former President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic a “crime” because he kept early warnings about the health crisis from the American people. “If there was ever the leadership test of a lifetime for the president, it was this pandemic. It was a health and political crisis like we have not seen in this country. And he walked away from it. And as you listen to these tapes, particularly on the virus, but on any subject, he kind of goes from denial to concealment to the crime,” Woodward said on CNN’s...

WASHINGTON — Mick Mulvaney, who was the acting White House chief of staff for President Donald Trump, testified Thursday before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff in 2019 and early 2020, arrived for his closed-door deposition with the committee around 1:40 p.m. and departed 2½ hours later. As he was leaving, reporters asked Mulvaney whether he was in contact with anyone from the White House from December 2020 to January 2021. "I haven’t talked to anybody in the White House in a long time," he responded, without elaborating. Earlier in the day,...

As a Canadian (Canadian mother and Swiss father) I must say I am not proud at all of my government and its political actions. In three days, Trudeau grounded the unvaxxed in perpetuity, banned handguns across the board, and is set to legalize hard drugs in BC. This man is crazy insane. If he was trying to destroy Canada, what would he be doing different? On May 31st, 2022, members of parliament voted 202-117 to keep the current travel ban against unvaccinated Canadians in place…

Dr. Anthony Fauci says that officials “feel bad” about slapping a travel ban on seven African countries, now that the omicron variant has been confirmed in several other countries.Fauci explained that, at the time the travel ban was imposed, not much was known about the omicron variant and the administration felt it was better to be safe than sorry.Some nations affected by the travel ban were upset, with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling it “travel apartheid.”But Fauci now says that with “more information,” the travel ban will be lifted in a “reasonable period of time.”Fox News:“That ban was done...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that the Biden administration “feels very badly” about the impact caused by the travel restrictions imposed on South Africa and other nearby countries to limit the spread of the Omicron variant and is reevaluating the ban. “We all feel very badly about the hardship that might have put upon not only South Africa, but the other African countries. And for that reason, in real-time, literally, on a daily basis…. we’re reevaluating that policy,” Fauci told anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of Union.”

Even though Biden suspended his vaccine mandate for federal workers to save himself a few approval points, he’s nevertheless looking for alternative ways to “force” people to get vaccinated, and a domestic travel ban is one such possibility. “So, the President said earlier today that there haven’t been any recommendations to put in place domestic travel requirements. But what we saw with the Delta variant is that once it was already here, it spread rapidly across the country. So why not have any testing or vaccination requirements whatsoever for domestic air travel since people are, you know, going fairly openly...

The disparate impact on black people of Joe Biden’s African travel ban proves Democrats are hypocrites guilty of doing what they claimed was wrong under Donald Trump.Will new restrictions on travel from Africa to the United States protect Americans from the COVID-19 Omicron variant? The jury is still out on that, even as reasonable people may worry more that the chance to continue fearmongering is driving some of the alarmism.But one thing we know for sure is that the same people who are praising Biden’s decision to restrict travel from areas where the new strain has been detected were singing...

Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera on Sunday denounced bans on Africa travel imposed by the Biden administration and several other governments, in response to the Omicron coronavirus variant, as “Afrophobia.” “We are all concerned about the new Covid [Chinese coronavirus] variant and owe South Africa’s scientists our thanks for identifying it before anyone else did,” Chakwera wrote on Facebook. “But the unilateral travel bans now imposed on SADC countries by the UK, EU, U.S., Australia, and others are uncalled for,” he continued. “Covid measures must be based on science, not Afrophobia.” SADC refers to the Southern African Development Community, a bloc...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Americans are appalled after learning the racist President Biden has banned travel from 8 African countries. "If you are able to travel freely to America, then you ain't black," said Biden. "We have a new COVID variant or something like that. All the Africans have gotta stay out." Voters are reporting that they are devastated to learn Biden is just as racist as Trump was when he restricted travel from China. Just like when Trump did it, Biden's racist travel ban is obviously an attempt to keep people of color out of our country while using COVID as an...

Isobel Frodsham Fri., November 26, 2021, 10:34 a.m.·3 min read Watch: South Africa angered by travel restrictions due to new variant Scroll back up to restore default view. The chairwoman of the South African Medical Association has described the travel restrictions imposed on the country as “hasty” and the reaction from other countries as “a storm in a teacup”. Dr Angelique Coetzee said it was too early to tell what impact the B.1.1.529 variant would have. She told BBC News: “We think it is a premature decision that has been taken, I think it is a hasty decision. “I would...

Yesterday, Donald Trump further diminished the United States in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban, placing new restrictions on the residents of six more nations that limit who is allowed to come to the United States. Three years ago, he took aim at Muslim-majority nations. This time, he targeted primarily African nations — including Nigeria, the largest economy and the most populous nation on the continent, and Sudan, a country striving to transition to civilian rule after decades of dictatorship. The “Muslim Ban,” this new “African Ban,” Trump’s atrocious asylum and refugee policies — they are...

The US will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other nearby countries from next week as fears grow over the new COVID-19 Omicron variant, the White House said Friday. The travel ban, which doesn’t apply to American citizens or permanent residents, will come into effect from Monday. The new restrictions apply to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.

Peter Navarro was one of only three people worked for President Trump from the beginning of his 2016 campaign all the way through to the end of his first term. He was tasked with many important duties, including convincing the coronavirus task force in the early days to support the President’s travel ban. In his first meeting with the task force on January 28, 2020, Navarro went in as the voice of the President to make them see the light about the proposed travel ban from China. This was long before most in DC were taking the disease seriously; Nancy...

The Justice Centre today responded to the federal government announcement that unvaccinated Canadians will lose their right to move and travel freely within Canada, their right to leave Canada, and their right to earn a living and participate in society without discrimination. “The government is seeking to have 100% of Canadians injected with the experimental mRNA vaccine, which has not been subjected to any long-term testing on humans,” states lawyer John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre. With the Canada-U.S. land border closed to non-essential travel, this Covid-19 vaccine travel mandate will effectively prevent unvaccinated people from leaving Canada in...
