Homeless shelter cleared to house illegal aliens, dozens infected with COVID-19

homeless shelter cleared covid
As if the illegal immigrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border were not bad enough, homeless Americans have been booted from a temporary shelter in southern California to make room for scores of migrants, dozens of them infected with COVID-19. Since the Biden administration rolled out the welcome mat, thousands of illegal aliens have entered the country, most of them minors classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the feds. Now the government is scrambling to meet its legal obligation of caring for them at facilities nationwide operated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

In this case, homeless residents were apparently cleared out of the San Diego Convention Center prematurely to accommodate up to 1,450 UAC, though city officials claim the decision to stop using the facility for the homeless predates the illegal alien crunch. Homeless San Diegans have been housed at the center for about a year as part of an initiative to halt the spread of COVID-19. The San Diego City Council voted to extend the program through March, but evidently it was cut short to bring in the illegal immigrants. The city will relocate about 500 homeless individuals to two local shelters, according to a local news report. "The convention center will be used to house migrants through July and will be operated by the federal government and the county," the story says.

The MyPillow CEO, close Trump ally and staunch advocate for overturning the presidential election result told Politico that minutes after he collected his credentials at the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel, the event coordinator turned him away, claiming he wasn't allowed at any RGA events.

An RGA official clarified to Politico that Lindell attempted to join RGA member transportation for a dinner at the Tennessee Governor's Mansion.

'Our constitution should be burned': What critical race theorists really think of America

critical race theorists
Will Reusch, a high school teacher in LA who also worked with the Heterodox Academy, asked to have a conversation with advocates for CRT in schools. That conversation revealed that CRT advocates do not believe in America's founding documents, instead saying that "the constitution should be burned."

Reusch spoke to Alfred "shivy" Brooks who is running for Atlanta City Council, Dr. Kate Slater who has worked in teacher recruitment for a top prep school, and Louiza "Weeze" Doran who were proponents of critical race theory. While undoubtedly these folks would define it differently, critical race theory is the practice of looking at all events both current and historical through the lens of race and racism.

"Our constitution should be burned"

The conversation turned to the principles of Enlightenment as the foursome tried to find common ground. Reusch asked if they could all agree that those principles represented the way forward. They could not.

"I just want to jump in and bring it back to the point," Doran said, turning to her computer to read off a definition of "Enlightenment principles."

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet delivers a speech virtually during a special session on Monday
The UN human rights chief has said that Israeli forces may have committed war crimes in the 11-day war with the militant group Hamas that rules the Gaza Strip.

Michelle Bachelet also called on Israel to allow an independent probe of military action in the latest spasm of deadly violence.

The remarks came as the UN's top human rights body opened a one-day special session to discuss the "the grave human rights situation" in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Bachelet said Hamas' indiscriminate rocket fire during the conflict was also a clear violation of the rules of war.

The UN high commissioner for human rights detailed to the Human Rights Council the "most significant escalation of hostilities since 2014" that left devastation and death in the Gaza Strip before a cease-fire last week.

A top Wisconsin Republican is hiring three former police officers to investigate parts of the 2020 election.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says the retired police officers will spend three months on the taxpayer-funded investigation.

Vos maintained he is not trying to change the results of the election and said he recognizes President Joe Biden won Wisconsin.

He said he hopes the investigators can get to the bottom of issues Republicans have raised unsuccessfully in court.

"Is there a whole lot of smoke or is there actual fire? We just don't know yet," Vos said.

NYT report on occupation causing Palestinian 'misery' was a long time coming: Israeli lobby stunned by reversal

Palestinian child at destroyed house after the municipality workers demolish their house in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Tzur Baher, Tuesday, Oct. 27. 2009. This was not an image from the New York Times article North focuses on in this piece.
New York Times readers were astonished yesterday at what was on their front page — a very long, moving account of how Palestinians experience Israel's occupation of the West Bank. The article's headlines set the tone: first, "The Misery at the Heart of the Conflict," followed by ". . . for millions of Palestinians, the routine indignities of occupation are part of daily life." The report continues, and spreads over two entire pages inside the paper.

Reporters David Halbfinger and Adam Rasgon looked closely at the lives of 6 West Bank Palestinians, and photographers Dan Balilty and Samar Hazboun provided 9 humane photographs. The article opened by describing how Muhammad Sandouka, a 42-year-old construction worker, built his home in occupied East Jerusalem — and then had to demolish it himself after Israeli authorities ordered him to raze it to "improve views of the Old City for tourists." Israeli said it would charge him $10,000 for expenses if he didn't tear his home down himself. There's a painful photo of him standing amid its rubble.

Tim Young: Austin's Juiceland company learns the hard lesson of 'hire woke, go broke'

Juiceland is limiting its hours of business due to staff shortages
Employees of an Austin juice store chain enumerate their baby leftist grievances and go on strike, appallingly

This week, an Austin, Texas based juice company called Juiceland had to close five locations and limit the hours of multiple others due to their workers going on strike. Normally, something like this would pass over my radar, but I personally have fond and absurd memories of the establishment.

Juiceland is a caricature of the city of Austin — it's pretentious about not being pretentious. The storefronts are typically stripped down, un-air conditioned areas covered by social justice stickers and are run by a staff of vegan, unshaven, pronoun-announcing hipsters who sell $10 juice. I know this, because when I lived in Austin, I had a frequent buyer card — nothing makes you feel healthier than drinking a cup of something that tastes just a little better than dirt and paying an arm and a leg for it — and I say all of that to say this — it is no shock to me that this company is now hurting due to who they hire.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
Speaking to moderator Sean Hannity at the Fox News Republican governors' town hall on Wednesday evening, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said the media slammed his state's coronavirus response out of animus for President Donald Trump, and discussed how residents in blue states are flocking to the Sunshine State. He said:
"So, it's interesting with Florida, the media at the beginning of this said Florida was bad. I think it's because they wanted to damage Trump and Florida — wanted to damage me. So they just kept saying it was bad even though the facts didn't say it. Like, literally, last April they were saying Florida is doing worse than New York. New York was like 10 times worse. So I think what it did is, the people that buy those phony narratives from these media, they probably aren't coming to Florida. But most people see through it. The people that see through it, they think like us."

Comment: The video is a refreshing discussion on survival and revival of America from states that bucked the system. Governors: Kristi Noem-South Dakota, Ron DeSantis-Florida, Chris Sununu-New Hampshire, Kim Reynolds-Iowa, Doug Ducey-Arizona, Bill Lee-Tennessee.

Reschenthaler: Fauci 'either grossly incompetent or lying' to Americans

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa)
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been "wrong over and over again" with his response and recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic and should either be fired or resign from his job as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler said Thursday.

"He is either grossly incompetent or he has been lying to the American people the whole time," the Pennsylvania Republican maintained on Fox News' Fox and Friends. "Look, I'm a lawyer; I'm not a scientist. But just look at the evidence."

Reschenthaler said he was "skeptical" of Fauci, now President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, "from the very beginning of this," including in January 2020, when "he said America has nothing to worry about regarding this virus."

Fauci criticized then-President Donald Trump for ordering a travel ban from China, "and then he said that decision was why President Trump actually saved lives," said Reschenthaler.
"He blatantly lied to Congress about masks and the American people, saying they don't help, and then he said that, 'oh, no, I was lying so we could hoard PPE.' He has been wrong this entire time."

Comment: To simplify: Fauci is a disinformation disseminator and, as such, a useful idiot.

German scientists claim to have solved Covid-19 vaccine blood clot mystery

In this file photo taken on February 18, 2021 a healthcare worker holds a dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine against the COVID-19 coronavirus at the Klerksdorp Hospital.
A group of German scientists claims to have found the cause of the rare blood clots linked to the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccines - and they say the jabs could be altered to prevent the problem

The research, led by Professor Rolf Marschalek from Goethe University, in Frankfurt, was published on Wednesday. It suggests the problem lies with the adenovirus vector technology used in the vaccines. Viral vector vaccines use a modified version of a different virus to deliver important instructions to the nucleus of cells so as to produce a spike protein and trigger an immune response in the body.

Dr Marschalek and his team believe some parts of the spike protein split apart and create 'mutant' versions that trigger the blood clots, in what the paper termed the "Vaccine-Induced Covid-19 Mimicry" syndrome. The study suggests vaccine manufacturers could alter the sequence of the spike protein to prevent unintended splitting and "increase the safety of these pharmaceutical products."
