The Associated Press was forced to issue a correction after it falsely claimed that 70 per cent of calls to the Mississippi Poison Control Center were about people ingesting ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

The actual number was 2 per cent.

Whoops!

Comment: The rabid censorship and smearing of viable alternatives to Covid vaccination continues (and their stories get less and less believable all the time).

A group of migrants are brought ashore from the local lifeboat at Dungeness in Kent on Monday.
It is thought to be the highest daily number, surpassing the previous record of 828 migrants on 21 August.

A record number of migrants have attempted to cross the English Channel today, according to witnesses.

It's thought at least 1,000 men, women and children were spotted making the journey from France to the UK.

The Home Office has put the figure at lower than that but cannot yet say whether the record was broken.

Finding loopholes: Missouri restaurant reopens as private club after shutting down over mask mandate

rae's cafe missouri
The owner of a Missouri restaurant that closed after allegedly not complying with county mask requirements said Saturday that the establishment is now a private club.

Amanda Wohletz, the owner, watched Jackson County officials close her restaurant, Rae's Café, Friday after the county deemed it was an imminent health hazard. But Wohletz said she found a way to keep her kitchen open. It now reportedly has a "no masks allowed" policy.

Wohletz allegedly violated the county's COVID-19 mask mandate by refusing to require masks in the restaurant.

Very clever! It will be interesting to see how long loophole exploits like this will be able to hold out.

Ridiculous: National Archives places 'harmful language alert' on page hosting US constitution

constitution harmful language
The webpage of the U.S. National Archives that hosts the nation's own Constitution has a "harmful language alert" for readers at the top of the page.

The alert now appears on many pages on the archives.org website, and links to a page entitled "NARA's Statement on Potentially Harmful Content," which they define as:
  • reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes;
  • be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more;
  • include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more;
  • demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.

Comment: That super-lefties would be triggered by the US Constitution and need to have a 'trigger warning' provided really says everything you need to know about where things are headed.

'They're making s*** up': Joe Rogan lashes out at CNN's misinformation about him taking "horse dewormer"

joe rogan
You may have heard recently that Joe Rogan took "horse dewormer" to combat the 'rona. You may even believe that if you get your news from misinformation networks like CNN. What Rogan took was something called "ivermectin" as prescribed by his doctor. We'll get to why in a minute. But first, here is Rogan wondering if he has to sue CNN.
Do I have to sue CNN? They're making sh*t up. They keep saying I'm taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. But CNN keeps saying I'm taking horse dewormer. They must know that that's a lie.
If I were to guess, yes. CNN does know it's a ... let's just call it an invalid truth. Ivermectin is a multifaceted drug of Nobel prize-honored distinction with indicated efficacy against C*VID-19. There is also a version of it that is concentrated on animals specifically. However, it is not approved by the CDC. It is also not the v*cc*ne, and the government only wants you to get shots and do nothing else. Since this is what the government wants, it's what CNN wants. Hence CNN repeating misinformation that Rogan took horse dewormer.

Oregon police, firefighters sue Gov. Kate Brown over vaccination mandate

In this March 16, 2020, file photo, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown speaks at a news conference in Portland, Ore. The Oregon Supreme Court has upheld the governor's shutdown orders aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus. The court overturned a judge in a conservative and rural part of the state who ruled Brown's restricting of activities had been nullified after a time limit.
A coalition of police and firefighters are suing Gov. Kate Brown over her mandate requiring COVID-19 vaccination for state workers.

The lawsuit, filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court, says the plaintiffs are the Oregon Fraternal Order of Police along with troopers from around the state and firefighters at the Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base in Klamath County, KOIN-TV reported.

It names the governor and the state of Oregon as defendants.

The group is asking a judge to declare Brown's executive order "unenforceable," claiming it allegedly works against existing Oregon statutes and would result in wrongful termination of employees, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit comes after an Oregon trooper was placed on paid leave for posting an Instagram video declaring his intent to defy the state's vaccine mandate.

"I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, to protect the freedom of the people who pay my salary," Zachary Kowing, 29, said in the video posted to Instagram last week. "I do not work for my governor but for them."

Surprise: British govt to keep emergency powers and continue some lockdown restrictions

Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson on a visit to a school in his Uxbridge constituency earlier this year. No 10 is bracing itself for a rise in Covid cases this autumn because of children returning to school after the summer break.
Coronavirus rules are set to be renewed for another six months as No 10 admitted cases are likely to increase sharply in England because children are returning to school.

Downing Street signalled its intention to renew the Coronavirus Act later this autumn, although some temporary powers may be allowed to expire.

"It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to expire. These are provisions that would, if removed, take away the government's ability to protect renters from eviction, for example, or to give sick pay to those self-isolating from day one," Boris Johnson's spokesman said.


Comment: What an obvious deception. We're expected to believe that the very same government that is destroying the economy with nonsensical and draconian lockdowns, that's threatening unemployment to those that decline it's 'offer' of an experimental injection, is more concerned about renters rights than it is about clinging to the unprecedented 'emergency' powers it rammed through parliament over 17 months ago?

Victoria, Australia will 'LOCK OUT' unvaccinated people from its economy

The Australian state of Victoria will "lock out" unvaccinated people from participating in the economy, Premier Dan Andrews has announced.

Victoria is currently under draconian lockdown restrictions, with residents of Melbourne - who make up the vast majority of the state's population - living under a 9pm to 5am curfew, forbidden from leaving their homes except to work, buy groceries, or get a Covid-19 vaccination. When the lockdown is lifted, Premier Dan Andrews said on Sunday, future restrictions will apply only to those who are unvaccinated.
"There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated. We're going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.

"If you're making the choice not to get vaccinated, then you're making the wrong choice."

Comment: Another brilliant scheme: Pitting businesses against their customers by power-hungry politicians. The virus resides in 'the hive mind' of the government.

Former CEO Josh Gibson
Tripwire, a video game development company, announced on Monday that its CEO Josh Gibson "stepped down" due to his pro-life comments on a personal Twitter account. Tripwire statement said:
"The comments given by John Gibson are of his own opinion, and do not reflect those of Tripwire Interactive as a company. His comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners and much of our broader community. Our leadership team at Tripwire are deeply sorry and are unified in our commitment to take swift action and to foster a more positive environment."
Shortly after Texas' newest pro-life law went into effect on Sept. 1, the CEO tweeted his support of the U.S. Supreme Court for declining to block the law. Gibson wrote on Sept. 4 from his personal account:
