Pentagon Preps For Mandatory Vaccine Enforcement

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is vowing he "won't let grass grow under our feet" as the department begins to implement the new vaccine and testing directives. But Pentagon officials were scrambling at week's end to figure out how to enact and enforce the changes across the vast military population and determine which National Guard and Reserve troops would be affected by the orders. The Pentagon now has two separate missions involving President...

HEADLINE USA – Two whistleblowers who worked at a migrant detention facility in El Paso, Texas, said they were instructed by top Biden administration officials to downplay a coronavirus outbreak among the hundreds of unaccompanied minors staying there.

Kentucky Officials Vow to Resist Democrat Gov.’s Mask Decree

(Headline USA) Several Kentucky Republicans slammed Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear over a controversial mask requirement for state workers and announced that they would not enforce the mandate in their offices. Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles fired off a tweet Wednesday evening at the new requirement, proposing that it would “undermine confidence in the vaccine at a time when it is needed most.” “These decisions are giving Kentuckians whiplash,” said Quarles, who is considered a potential rival to...

Biden’s Mask Rules Are For You, Not For Him

PATRIOTIC VIRAL NEWS – The GOP War Room shares that while his administration pushes for mask mandates, President Joe Biden mingled with dozens of maskless people during his speech on American manufacturing in Macungie, Pennsylvania, on July 28, 2021. Interesting how those COVID-19 mask rules work, right? If you’re in the House of Representatives, starting Tuesday night you better wear a mask or you’re going to catch the virus. But if you’re shaking hands with...

Biden ‘Takes First Step’ Toward Mandatory Vaccines

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's requirement for federal workers to reveal their COVID-19 vaccination status is likely to force uncomfortable questions not only at government agencies but at private companies as well. Right now, there's a lack of clear answers. Getting the policy right will take time, and vary across government agencies. The same holds for private companies, for which the White House is trying to provide a guide. It's not like there's a cheat...

Biden Admin. Resumes Trump Deportation Policy

By Priscilla Alvarez, Jul 26, 2021 CNN – The Biden administration is planning to speed up deportations for some migrant families who cross the US-Mexico border, the Department of Homeland Security said Monday. Certain families will now be subject to the fast-track deportation procedure known as "expedited removal," which allows immigration authorities to remove an individual without a hearing before an immigration judge. The procedure will apply to families who are not swiftly expelled under a...

Fauci Can’t Get His Own Facts Straight…

FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION – Last week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Anthony Fauci squared off in the public arena yet again. The two have frequently sparred over pandemic policy in Congressional committee hearings over the past year and a half, and their debates have often been contentious. But this interaction involved a particularly frazzled Fauci. In the brief exchange, Fauci looked around for assistance in the...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Why I Got ‘The Trump Vaccine’

NEW YORK POST – Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders acknowledged Sunday that she was inoculated against COVID-19 “months ago” — with the “Trump vaccine.” Sanders, former President Donald Trump’s spokesperson from 2017 to 2019, also railed against the “misinformation thrown at me by politicians and the media” before making the call, she said in an opinion piece in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Just over 36 percent of people in Arkansas are fully vaccinated against...

Biden-Harris Border ‘Hypocrisy’ Fuels Drug Smuggling, Covid Rise: Physician/Congressman

WASHINGTON — Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) spoke on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday to bring attention to the worsening crisis at the border and the lack of leadership from the Biden Administration to address it.

What If The Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade?

OPINION | CNN – In some alternate universe, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retired during the Obama presidency and Democrats were able to push through a successor to the conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. In that universe, nobody is talking about an end to nearly 50 years of nationwide access to abortion rights. But here we are. There's a chance abortion could be illegal in much of the country in the near future since Mississippi asked the...

Mental Illness History Overshadows Possible Herschel Walker Run

ATLANTA (AP) — At first glance, Herschel Walker has a coveted political profile for a potential Senate candidate in Georgia. He was a football hero at the University of Georgia before his long NFL career. He's a business owner whose chicken products are distributed across the U.S. And he's a Black conservative with backing from former President Donald Trump, a longtime friend. But an Associated Press review of hundreds of pages of public records tied...

Texas Mayor Pleads: ‘Be Like Trump’

Midland Reporter-Telegram – During a press conference to put a spotlight on getting more people vaccinated, Midland, Texas Mayor Patrick Payton said he is currently going through the vaccination process, having received the first of two shots. “I have had a vaccine hesitancy myself, because I've been sick and tired of hearing data on one side and data on the other side,” Payton said Wednesday. He called Midland Health officials the reasonable voice in the community...

Birth Control Users Demand Wider Choice in Taxpayer-Funded Devices

KAISER HEALTH NEWS – For Stephanie Force, finding a birth control method that she likes and can get without paying out-of-pocket has been a struggle, despite the Affordable Care Act’s promise of free contraceptives for women and adolescent girls in most health plans. The 27-year-old physician recruiter in Roanoke, Virginia, was perfectly happy with the NuvaRing, a flexible vaginal ring that women insert monthly to release hormones to prevent pregnancy. But her insurer, Anthem, stopped covering...

Kamala’s Laugh: “Funny Ha-Ha” Or “Funny Peculiar”?

L.A. TIMES – Seriously, to weigh how the first woman and first woman of color to become vice president is perceived, Kamala Harris’ laugh may provide the ultimate gauge. While many people just hear levity in her laugh, those on the right react with heckles and attacks, a difference that says as much about the divisive, personally vicious state of politics as any debates over policies. President Trump made fun of “the laugh” at a late...
