What a day! What beautiful people! What a kick in the teeth for the establishment! And not a mask in sight - except from the police who were forced to wear them. Poor things.

Were you there? If you were you might be able to spot yourself in one of these pictures from the march and rally that yesterday brought central London to a standstill. Or perhaps you can spot the poster you designed and carried.

The featured image prophesies and encapsulates media reaction. Silence. Here it is again.

In lieu of effective policy, public health officials have weaponised lockdowns in the fight against Covid-19, and many Aussies, used to foreign bugs and viruses, have complied, but their patience and trust have finally run out.

Earlier this week, a packed school bus full of frightened children was pulled over by police, everyone was told to stay on board, and the familiar blue-and-white tape encircled the vehicle as officers decided how to tackle what must have appeared to onlookers to be a serious crime scene.

But instead of terrorists, illegal immigrants or drug smugglers, police in South Australia were looking for two schoolgirls who had hitchhiked from the neighbouring state of Victoria to meet up with a friend and sneak aboard the bus, mingling with those already on board.

Promoter decides to charge $18 to anyone vaccinated and $1000 to anyone who isn't in order to attend concert

This spring, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order forbidding businesses from making their patrons prove that they have been vaccinated against the coronavirus. He also signed into law a bill to give the ban more teeth, threatening violators with fines in the thousands of dollars.

One Florida concert promoter thinks he has a workaround: offer US$18 tickets to anyone who is vaccinated and charge US$999.99 for everyone else.

Comment: If you've read history books, you'll see that things like this were similar to what happened in Nazi Germany and how Jews and other 'undesirable' were discriminated against and singled-out. Read Sebastian Haffner's Defying Hitler to get a better understanding of this. On the other hand, this could be the band and promoter's self-serving way of getting media attention and coverage.

A 366-meter-long containership grounded in the Suez Canal on Friday, but was refloated and ship traffic was able to continue through the waterway.

The ship is identified as the 366-meter-long Maersk Emerald, registered in Singapore.

Leth Agencies, which offers transit services in the Suez Canal, reported on Twitter that the ship grounded at kilometer 98, on the northern end of the canal, after experiencing engine trouble. It was transiting as part of a southbound convoy and was number five in line. The vessel was refloated within a matter of hours and ship traffic was able to resume as normal.

Berlin pledges payments after recognizing Namibia 'genocide' carried out by German colonial troops

Germany has formally acknowledged that its military committed 'genocide' against the African peoples who lived in what is now Namibia, and has announced that it will set up a fund to atone for its colonial-era crimes.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement on Friday that Germany recognized the "atrocities" carried out by its colonial troops against the Herero and Nama people between 1904 and 1908, adding that Berlin wanted to "find a common path to genuine reconciliation in memory of the victims." He said that, going forward, Germany will in an official capacity refer to the events as a "genocide."

Maas also announced that as a "gesture of recognition of the immeasurable suffering," the German government would create a fund totaling €1.1 billion ($1.34 billion), which will go towards infrastructure, healthcare and training programs for the affected communities. The money will reportedly be paid out over 30 years.

The Herero and Nama tribes were nearly wiped out during a rebellion against German colonial forces in what was then known as German South West Africa. It's believed that 65,000 of the 80,000 Herero living in the Germany colony perished between 1904 and 1908, while 10,000 of an estimated 20,000 Nama people died during the same period. Many survivors of the rebellion were later captured and placed in concentration camps, where they were used as slave labor. Mistreatment and poor conditions at the camps led to countless deaths.

Sheriff cuts ties with Biden's DHS to prevent illegal aliens from being freed into southwest Ohio

Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones is cutting ties with President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prevent the administration from releasing illegal aliens into his southwestern Ohio community.

Since 2003, the Butler County Sheriff's Department has been in a contract with DHS and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold illegal aliens in its county jail while they await their hearings before a federal immigration judge. This week, Jones said he is terminating that longheld contract because he suspects the Biden administration will begin releasing its illegal alien detainees out of the county jail and into the community.

Jones said in a statement:
"We operate an efficient correctional facility and federal officials continue to add unreasonable and cost prohibitive mandates to hold these illegal immigrants. With the crisis at the border getting worse, it concerns me that the feds will ship detainees to my facility, then release them to the streets of my community under some technicality. It's better to just end this arrangement now than to let that happen. Unlike this current administration, I'm still a firm believer that our government should strictly enforce the immigration laws and I will continue to promote that stance at every opportunity."

Comment: It is perfectly clear Biden is hellbent on destroying the States - in particular our neighborhoods, not his.

Two people died and an estimated 20 to 25 people were injured by gunfire in a shooting outside a banquet hall in South Florida, police said.

The gunfire erupted early Sunday at the El Mula Banquet Hall in northwest Miami-Dade County, police told news outlets.

The banquet hall had been rented out for a concert. Three people got out of an SUV and opened fire into a crowd outside with assault rifles and handguns, police director Alfredo "Freddy" Ramirez III said. Authorities believe the shooting was targeted.

"These are cold blooded murderers that shot indiscriminately into a crowd and we will seek justice," Ramirez said in a tweet.

COVID-19: Matt Hancock committed 'minor breach' of ministerial code when NHS contract awarded to sister's company

Matt Hancock committed a "minor breach" of the ministerial code when a coronavirus contract was awarded to his sister's company in which he had share holdings, an independent report has found.

Lord Geidt, the independent adviser on ministers' interests, found that the health secretary had made a "technical" breach of the ministerial code of conduct by failing to declare that a firm run by a family member, which he has a 20% stake in, had won an NHS contract. However, he added that Mr Hancock had "a lack of knowledge" of the contract and that the conflict of interest was "in no way deliberate".

Lord Geidt, former permanent secretary to the Queen, also deemed that the health secretary acted with "integrity throughout", adding: "This event should in no way impugn his good character or ministerial record."

Boris Johnson has said that the health secretary would face no further action after the technical breach, defying Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner's call for the PM to "explain why the public should trust him to lead such a major government department".

Lord Geidt was investigating Mr Hancock's shares in Topwood Ltd, a firm run by his sister and brother-in-law, which was approved as a potential supplier for NHS trusts in England.

"Vax won't be mandatory", but US agency says employers can make COVID-19 vaccination a requirement anyway

U.S. companies can mandate that employees in a workplace must be vaccinated against COVID-19, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said on Friday.

The EEOC, in a statement posted on its website explaining its updated guidance, said employees can be required to be vaccinated as long as employers comply with the reasonable accommodation provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws.

In addition, employers may offer incentives to workers to be vaccinated, as long as they are not coercive, it said.

The vast majority of employers have been reluctant to require workers to be vaccinated. A survey by management-side law firm Fisher Phillips earlier this year found that only 9% of the more than 700 employers surveyed said they were considering mandating vaccines.

Comment: "[A]s long as they are not coercive.

Right. "Get vaxxed, or we won't hire/continue to employ you" isn't "coercive". Only one of the many ways a person's personal choice is being taken away. Buckle under, or your ability to participate in society will be taken away. Vaccine certificates are poised to become the West's version of China's social credit system:

China to bar people with bad "social credit" from planes, trains - "once untrustworthy, always restricted"

The Black Panthers and a number of gun club members from across the US gathered in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a series of protest events. The city is currently marking the anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.

The event, called the 'Second Amendment March for Reparations', took place on Saturday afternoon in the northern part of Tulsa. Hundreds of participants carrying weapons and dressed in paramilitary black and khaki clothes marched through the city chanting slogans including "Whose streets? Our streets" and "Black Power." The activists also carried a large banner demanding "Reparations now."
