Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz SLAM the continued 'occupation' of DC by National Guard troops

tucker carlson matt gaetz
"[The security review is] only really about two things," Gaetz insisted. "One, hunting and destroying MAGA, and two, justifying the continued occupation of Washington DC."

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday to slam the Democrats for the continued presence of the National Guard in Washington DC nearly two months after the Capitol Hill riot.

'You don't need our vaccine': Michael Moore, other libs rage at Texas for daring to fight Covid-19 without authoritarian lockdown

Texas' decision to walk back Covid-19 restrictions like mask mandates has triggered plenty of meltdowns, the worst of which have included prominent liberals showing their true colors and apparently wishing death on the state.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's announcement that he was ending Covid-19 lockdown restrictions in his state got about the reactions you would expect this week. Conservatives mainly praised him, while most liberals labeled him a "mass murderer" or "reckless" leader.

The worst reactions though have shined an unflattering light on a dark corner of today's political divisions.

Biden Admin will not allow reporters to tour child migrant detention facilities, cite COVID-19

The Biden administration will not allow reporters to tour juvenile detention facilities now housing unaccompanied minors who came across the United States-Mexico border seeking asylum.

"Reporters will not be allowed inside the Carrizo Springs facility for unaccompanied minors that was recently opened under the Biden administration in Texas, a Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) spokesperson" said in response to the Daily Caller News Foundation's request to tour the facility.

"The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is not hosting media tours of unaccompanied children (UC) facilities currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic," the spokesperson told the media outlet, echoing an answer reportedly given to ABC News when they also requested a tour.

Comment: More from the Washington Examiner:
The Biden administration reportedly expects an unprecedented surge of unaccompanied migrant children showing up on the southern border in hopes of being admitted into the United States during its first year.

Border officials anticipate 117,000 children will arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or guardian in 2021, according to a White House domestic policy council document to be shared with President Biden this afternoon, which Axios reported Tuesday. The number is higher than the 68,000 taken into custody during the 2014 surge of solo children and the 80,000 who arrived during the 2019 humanitarian crisis at the border.

"I actually think that's an undercount," Victor Manjarrez, Jr., a former senior Border Patrol agent who teaches about law and human behavior at the University of Texas at El Paso, told the Washington Examiner.

Holiday makers on Porthminster Beach on August 9, 2020 in St Ives, Cornwall. Staycationers are expected to flock the region post-lockdown
A police chief has demanded an extra 500 police officers to cope with the millions of staycationers who will descend on Devon and Cornwall in the summer after lockdown ends.

Families across the country are already planning staycations and days out after Boris Johnson announced Britain's roadmap out of lockdown.

From April 12, Britons can stay in self-contained holiday cottages - with Devon and Cornwall among the most popular destinations.

It is estimated that the population of the two counties swells from 1.7million to more than 11million at the peak of the holiday season.

Police are seen in the area after several people were attacked in Vetlanda, Sweden, on 3 March.
A man in his 20s is in custody after being shot in the leg by police following the attack in Vetlanda.

A man armed with an axe has attacked and injured eight people in a southern Sweden town in what authorities called a suspected terrorist crime.

Police said the man in his 20s attacked people in the small town of Vetlanda, about 190 km (118 miles) southeast of Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden's second largest city, on Wednesday afternoon. His motive was not immediately known.

Comment: An ominous message to Swedish authorities to start to fully complying with the 'official' global Corona plandemic narrative, or just another random atrocity?

In any event, given the 'official' Never Talk About Race Except When The Suspect is White policy, that they won't divulge the suspect's identity but state upfront that they're considering terrorist motivation likely means the suspect is a recently 'integrated' Swede or someone of minority descent.

UPDATE 4 Mar 2021

The perpetrator is an Afghan refugee.

"Sinister" plan to MANDATE Covid vaccine for all NHS staff decried by Trusts

Bosses of NHS trusts in England said vaccination should remain voluntary.
A government plan to force all NHS and care staff in England to get vaccinated against Covid-19 has been criticised as "sinister" and likely to increase the numbers refusing to have the jab.

Health unions and hospital bosses urged the health service to continue its efforts to persuade its 1.4 million workforce in England to get immunised rather than resorting to compulsion and "bullying" to try to increase take-up.

Downing Street did not dispute a report in the Daily Mail that it was considering making it mandatory for everyone working in health and social care to have the jab as a way of protecting patients.

Comment: For an idea of just what may be coming, over in Israel those who choose not to take the vaccination - even if they have antibodies and are no risk to themselves nor to others - may find themselves suffering as 2nd class (or worse) citizens: Freedom? Israel launches Covid-tracking 'FREEDOM BRACELET' as alternative to quarantine

Gina Carano addresses 'The Mandalorian' firing, double standard in political differences

Carano feels she was treated differently by Lucasfilm compared to her liberal costar Pedro Pascal.
Gina Carano, who was fired from Disney+ show "The Mandalorian," has spoken out in a new tell-all interview about her experience working for Lucasfilm.

She also addressed the controversial post which led to her dismissal from the "Star Wars" series and called out the political double standard she feels exists at the company, which is owned by Disney.

The final straw for Lucasfilm and Disney came when Carano drew criticism for a post on social media in which she compared today's political divide to the events in Nazi Germany and conservatives to the Jewish people. She had previously caught backlash for other comments about the coronavirus, the use of gender pronouns, and election fraud.

The former MMA fighter said on "The Ben Shapiro Show" that her intention behind the most recent photo (which has been deleted) was to "bring people together" and to emphasize how "people tearing each other apart."

US top DC federal prosecutor says no evidence of 'kill/capture teams' in Capitol protest

Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon Shaman" known for his painted face and horned hat, was taken into custody in Arizona in connection with the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6.
The top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia said Friday that investigators have not uncovered direct evidence at this point of any "kill/capture teams" targeting elected officials during the U.S. Capitol insurrection, contradicting allegations made earlier by federal prosecutors in Arizona.

U.S. prosecutors in Arizona said Thursday in a court filing against Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman," that they have "strong evidence" members of the pro-Trump mob wanted to "capture and assassinate" officials.

Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, attributed what he called the "disconnect" in Arizona, and at least one other district, to the sprawling and complex nature of the investigation. There are preliminary hearings taking place in districts across the United States.

"At some of those hearings, there were other prosecutors, there may be a disconnect, may be adding information that's not directly related to what we have," Sherwin said at a news conference.

Local media claim that as many as nine people have died in Myanmar in deadly clashes between security forces and protesters across the country, with videos showing police abuse.

In a day of violence across Myanmar on Wednesday, security forces opened fire on protesters resulting in numerous deaths and many injuries, just one day after a regional diplomatic push attempted to end the month-long crisis.

The deadliest clashes came in Monywa. The Monywa Gazette reported that five people were killed in the central Burmese town as police fired on protesters. The agency accompanied the news with photos of the five dead, adding that a further 30 were injured while some remain unaccounted for.

Newsweek forced to admit Buffalo schools teaching kids to blame 'all white people' is true, not 'HALF-TRUE' in big fact-check FAIL

After public schools in Buffalo, New York have been called out for blaming "all white people" for perpetuating systematic racism, "fact-checkers" tried to disprove it - only to be left red-faced when confronted with evidence.

Journalist Chris Rufo has been vindicated after fact-checkers accused him of misreporting the contents of a Black Lives Matter-themed curriculum being employed at Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) last month. The magazine quietly confirmed that BPS was, in fact, teaching its students to blame all white people for the suffering of others.

While Rufo showed the curriculum claimed that "all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism," citing lesson plans and teaching materials received from a whistleblower at the Erie County schools, Newsweek argued his claims were only "half true," because BPS was "not organizing lesson plans around that one phrase, which is for middle school students only, nor are they pushing any of the research as hard and fast facts."


Comment: They're not stopping as young as kindergarten. Rufo shows how they're demanding parents instill 'antiracism' from birth:
Arizona is recommending teachers promote 'equity' and social justice through an 'antiracist' agenda that sees racism in toddlers and recommends progressive and Black Lives Matter materials as the cure.

An 'equity and diversity' toolkit for teachers, parents, and administrators posted by the Arizona Department of Education fully embraces the belief in "persistent racial biases in our society," going so far as to demand of parents that they instill "antiracist attitudes and actions" from birth so their children don't "absorb bias" from the world.

Researcher Chris Rufo posted a series of screenshots of the materials from the toolkit on Tuesday. He points out that some of the materials claim that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old, or that white children "remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness" by age five
