Just days after the U.S. Supreme Court abolished women's constitutional right to abortion, Alabama has cited that ruling in a bid to outlaw parents from obtaining puberty blockers and certain other medical treatment for their transgender children.

The citation came in an appeal by Alabama's attorney general seeking to lift a federal court injunction that partially blocked enforcement of a newly enacted state ban on medical interventions for youth whose gender identity is at odds with their birth sex.

The appeal is believed to mark the first time a state has expressly invoked the recent Supreme Court opinion overturning its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion and applied the same reasoning to a separate issue bearing on other rights.

The Supreme Court declined on Thursday to take up a case involving a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for health care workers in New York that does not offer an exemption for religious reasons.

The court's action follows a decision in December in which the justices declined an emergency request to halt the requirement. At the time, doctors, nurses and other medical workers who said they were being forced to choose between their jobs and religious beliefs.

A virologist who coauthored a paper marginalizing the lab leak theory did not disclose his ties to the research group at the center of it.

Director of Columbia University's Center for Infection and Immunity Ian Lipkin has often worked with EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based collaborator of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the group confirmed in an email.

EcoHealth Alliance listed Lipkin as a "partner" from 2012 to 2014, an archived version of the group's website shows. Lipkin has coauthored at least ten scientific papers with EcoHealth researchers from 2011 to 2021, EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak said in an email. These publications include a paper about novel coronaviruses EcoHealth and its partners sampled around the world.

EcoHealth Alliance hunts for novel viruses in wildlife and funds research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Lipkin did not disclose his partnership with EcoHealth in "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2," a highly influential paper that states that COVID-19 arose from nature.

Four months is enough to adapt and start earning on you own, the country's commissioner for refugees says.

Poland will stop providing financial aid to Ukrainian refugees in the country on Friday, the country's deputy interior minister and commissioner for refugees has said.

From July 1, the government will cease providing 40 Polish zloty (around $9) per day for food and accommodation to refugees, Pawel Szefernaker told Rzeczpospolita newspaper.
"We are convinced that many people in Poland are capable of becoming independent and adapting," he said.
The move is aimed at encouraging more Ukrainians "to be active" and start looking for jobs, the official explained.
"Four months of full protection is, in our opinion, enough time to adapt in the country," he insisted.

As West blames Moscow for 'food crisis', ships sail from Mariupol with Moscow's help while Ukraine holds vessels in its ports

Without much notice in the West, on June 21, the first foreign ship departed from the Port of Mariupol since Ukrainian and foreign mercenary forces were fully forced out of the Donbass city a month prior. Escorted by Russian naval boats, the vessel's departure set the precedent for a resumption of normal port activity to and from Mariupol.


Russia's Defense Ministry on May 20 announced the liberation of the Azovstal plant from Ukraine's Nazi Azov Battalion, and some days later stated that sappers had demined an area of one and a half million square meters around the city's port.

In early June, the ministry declared the facility ready for use anew. "The de-mining of Mariupol's port has been completed. It is functioning normally, and has received its first cargo ships," Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said at the time.

Dr. Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko, 1973 – June 30, 2022
Dr. Zelenko last wrote to me on June 10 asking help in promoting his memoir, which should come out in about two months.

It is entitled Zelenko. How to Decapitate the Serpent. Please watch for the opportunity to pre-order.
It is with immense sorrow that we announce the passing of our founder Dr. Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko. Dr. Zelenko was a physician, scientist, and activist for medical rights who touched the lives of millions of people. Some were saved as his role as a doctor, and even more were inspired by his words. His "Zelenko Protocol" saved millions and earned him a Nobel Prize nomination and the admiration of a U.S. President among other prominent world leaders.

Gay conservatives exist and are having a moment in the US

Ever more homosexuals are moving away from the oppressive rainbow-flag-waving LGBTQ alphabet - and we're just getting started

For far too long, being gay or lesbian has been tied to liberalism. Finally, that paradigm is shifting as more of the gay community refuses to be lectured by Democrats that we MUST vote the way they do if we "care about our own interests." Those interests, it turns out, are as diverse as the gay population itself. Homosexuals aren't a monolith, and despite the Democratic Party's presumption to speak for all of us, they most certainly do not.

The gay conservative movement has grown exponentially over the last several decades, with a major uptick since Donald Trump entered the political scene in 2015. By 2020, one survey found 45% of gay men planned to cast their vote for the "mean Tweeter" that election year. Perhaps it wasn't lost on them that Trump appointed the nation's first gay cabinet member, Richard Grenell, as Director of National Intelligence that same year. But it's more likely that they had simply turned off CNN.

Average inflation in the eurozone reaches new record high of 8.6%, with Estonia surging to 22%

Soaring energy prices have pushed inflation across the eurozone to a new high of 8.6% in June.

The record-breaking figure, up from 8.1% in May, spells bad news for the European economy, which is currently dealing with several challenges at the same time: the war in Ukraine, dwindling supplies of Russian gas, global food insecurity, disrupted supply chains and the ripple effects from stringent lockdowns in China.


Comment: Obviously Europe's energy supplies aren't 'dwindling' because Russia is running low, obviously, Europe's pathocrats are choosing to sanction them, refusing to pay for them, or they're hindering the return of crucial parts for the running of the pipes.


Energy continues to be the main driver of expensive prices, with a 41.9% price on an annual basis, as EU countries rush to replace cheap Russian fossil fuels with alternative, high-priced suppliers.


Comment: The EU is rushing to nowhere very fast, because experts have repeatedly stated there is no sufficient alternative to Russian energy.

Bluff called: UK Halifax Bank suffers exodus of customers after staff pronoun policy implemented

halifax bank pronouns
The critical tweets prompted the bank to defend its new policy by responding to the tweets.
'Just closed my Halifax account. They can stick their pronouns up their/his/her a**e. '

Halifax customers are closing their accounts en masse today after its social media team told them to leave if they don't like their new pronoun badges for staff in what is being branded one of the biggest PR disasters in British business history.

One account holder told MailOnline they have already pulled out investments and savings worth £450,000 while many more said they are closing ISAs, cutting up credit cards or transferring balances to rivals after they accused the bank of 'alienating' them with 'pathetic virtue signalling'.

The row began this week when Halifax, which was propped up by the taxpayer to the tune of £30billion as part of a 2008 bailout, tweeted its 118,000 followers on Tuesday revealing that it would allow staff to display their pronouns on their name badges, in a post that read 'pronouns matter'.

Comment: Not only did Halifax Bank go woke, it obnoxiously did so. Going broke is the inevitable conclusion. The pronoun brigade who applaud this nonsense likely don't constitute a viable customer base.

Members of the Kirti Kisan Union from different districts of the state today staged a protest demanding a solution to the deepening water crisis in Punjab. The protesters also tried to enter Chandigarh after crossing the barrier at the Mohali-Chandigarh border.

Farmers held a rally in front of Gurdwara Amb Sahib following which they marched towards Chandigarh to hand over a memorandum to the Punjab Chief Minister.

Addressing the protesting farmers, Kirti Kisan Union president Nirbhai Singh Dhudike and vice-president Rajinder Singh Deep Singh Wala said Punjab, despite being the dominant state of agriculture, was facing severe shortage of water for farming. They said the crisis was getting worse day by day due to mismanagement of three sources of water — groundwater, river-canal water and rainwater.

Meanwhile, Europe's pathocrats enforcing the green agenda are denying Africans the right to fertilizer and are actively shutting down farms in the Netherlands, at the same time they're accusing Russia, one of the world's largest grain producers, of causing food shortages:
