Addressing the impact of the scheme, the Scottish trade body outlined how forcing the Covid measure on venues has resulted in staff facing "intolerable levels of abuse" and in creating an "atmosphere that will totally undermine anyone's enjoyment" of the venues.
"The first weekend of the vaccine passports scheme has been one of unmitigated disaster and that responsibility lies entirely at the door of the Scottish Government," SHG spokesman Stephen Montgomery said on Monday.
In a memo sent on Saturday, which was seen by Axios, Facebook Vice-President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg apparently warned employees that the news coverage would likely contain "mischaracterizations of our research, our motives and where our priorities lie." He instructed them to "listen and learn from criticism when it is fair, and push back strongly when it's not."
"But above all else... We should keep our heads held high and do the work we came here to do," Clegg reportedly told staffers in the memo. The warning came as reports emerged about how the company does not understand how its own algorithms work and struggles to combat hate speech, among other failings.

U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang's decision to apply a "terrorism enhancement" in sentencing the men favors prosecutors' recommendation that both of them get 25 years in prison.

Melle Stewart has had a long recovery following the stroke, having been in an induced coma and going through rehabilitation.
Melle Stewart, a healthy 40-year-old Australian actress living in London, was "happy" to receive her first dose of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.
According to GoFundMe, "she has been and continues to be an advocate for vaccination", however her life was turned upside down on June 8, two weeks after her first dose.
Comment: This reveals how the propaganda has managed to override people's critical thinking and survival instincts.
Comment: It's because of the sheer number of vaccine injuries and deaths that the pharmaceutical companies, in league with governments, have conspired to exempt themselves from liability. And so whilst the profits from these billion dollar deals continue unhindered, those left to cover the costs of the devastation are national health schemes and generous donations from the general public: Pfizer, Moderna reaping BILLIONS from COVID-19 injection 'booster' market

33.5 percent of Russia’s 146-million population have received at least one shot of a coronavirus vaccine, and just 27.4 percent have been fully vaccinated.
In a list of instructions signed by President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, senior officials were ordered to introduce a range of new public health measures. Among them was "the introduction of a ban on the holding of entertainment and events, and the provision of hospitality services in the evening and at night." According to the directive, venues will have to close between 11pm and 6am each day.
Comment: Russia is most likely dealing with a normal rise in what would be called, in a sane world, the latest version of a seasonal flu, as winter begins to take hold. If the deaths recorded were analyzed, it's likely the data would show the mortality rate highest among the elderly and those with comorbidities, as it has been from the beginning. But Moscow needs to be seen as taking the uptick in cases seriously, to avoid criticism domestically and internationally.
"There is ample research to support that the best course of action is to vaccinate individuals prior to transplant, whenever possible. Just as with other medical requirements, the COVID-19 vaccination helps ensure best possible outcome for our patients."According to a CTV news report, Dr. Atul Humar, director of UHN's transplant center, said anyone seeking an organ transplant must first be jabbed with the still-experimental COVID injections. Humar said the issue was debated by doctors at UHN, who decided that from a "medical point of view, we all felt quite strongly that this was needed."
"So we've been having a lot of discussion on how best to formulate this policy," Humar said. There are 4,300 people currently awaiting organ transplants at UHN, according to CTV.
In CTV's report, Humar claimed that the decision to mandate the COVID jabs for organ recipients was "actually a very complex discussion. We had ethical input; we had input from medical leaders and experts in the field." he said.
UHN also mandated, starting today, that all visitors must show proof of having had COVID shots before being allowed to enter.

Ahmed Rabbani's release was announced on Friday by Reprieve, a human rights NGO. Rabbani had been unanimously cleared for release by the prison's Periodic Review Board, made up of senior officials from six US agencies, including the State Department and Department of Homeland Security.
Rabbani's journey through the underbelly of the US' post-9/11 security infrastructure began in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002. Mistaken for wanted terrorist Hassan Ghul, the taxi driver was arrested by Pakistani authorities outside Ghul's apartment complex and sold to American personnel in the country.

Can you imagine being from a unique, distinct culture but then forced to adopt the ideologies and values of others? This was exactly what I asked myself when I began witnessing my own Muslim friends impose 'woke' social justice ideologies upon themselves, which went against the cultural values they were brought up in.
Over the years representation of minority groups, for example, in my case Muslims, has been conducted increasingly under the ideology of identity politics. This style of representation, especially for minorities, is one infused with new-era 'woke' social justice.

DeSantis told Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures that he's hoping to sign legislation in the next legislative session that will give a $5,000 bonus to out-of-state law enforcement officials who relocate to Florida.
"In Florida, not only are we going to want to protect the law enforcement and all the jobs, we're actually actively working to recruit out-of-state law enforcement because we do have needs in our police and our sheriffs' departments," DeSantis said.
