The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor fired for instructing subordinates to skip over houses with Trump signs and banners now says her actions were consistent with agency guidance and were not isolated to her team alone.
The supervisor, Marn'i Washington, was fired by FEMA after outrage erupted that she had instructed disaster relief workers canvassing in Lake Placid, Florida, after Hurricane Milton to "avoid homes advertising Trump."
The Daily Wire first reported that government employees told the outlet at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were bypassed from the end of October into November due to "best practices" guidance from Washington. The houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote messages such as "Trump sign no entry per leadership" in a government system, per the outlet.

Ben and Jerry's claimed in the lawsuit that it was blocked by Unilever from expressing opinions on the Gaza war, such as trying to call for a ceasefire and supporting Palestinian refugees coming to Britain.

In a landmark verdict on Tuesday, CACI Premier Technology Inc was found "liable for conspiring to torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment" of Suhail Al Shimari, a middle school principal, Asaad Zubae, a fruit vendor, and Salah Al-Ejaili, a journalist, the Center of Constitutional Rights, a non-profit advocacy organization, said in a press release.
The statement said:
"Victims were held in the part of the Iraqi prison where the most inhumane abuses occurred. Along with hundreds of other Iraqis tortured at Abu Ghraib, they have suffered long-standing physical and emotional effects."According to the lawsuit, CACI was hired by the US government to "provide interrogation services." It was not the only private US contractor implicated in the scandal; employees of Titan Corporation, which provided translation services at the site, were also accused of mistreatment.
Comment: The victims of inhumane torture were no more than optics for the Bush administration's agenda that ultimately betrayed America via the collusion and illusion of 9/11 - lives no amount of money can replace.

The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta said Project Veritas could sue over CNN journalist Ana Cabrera's on-air statement that it was suspended for "promoting disinformation," rather than for publishing private information, or "doxxing." Without ruling on the merits, the three-judge panel also said Project Veritas plausibly alleged that CNN acted with actual malice, meaning it knew Cabrera's statements were false or acted with reckless disregard for their truth.
CNN, part of Warner Bros Discovery, and its lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Libby Locke and Joe Oliveri, who represent Project Veritas, said in a joint statement the case will proceed toward a possible jury trial. "Today's decision sends a strong message to the media: The truth matters," they said.
A November 8 video report by a 16-year-old who publishes YouTube reports under the moniker "Bender" provided extensive on-the-ground footage of a mob of armed Tel Aviv Maccabi ultras hunting victims, throwing metal poles at police vehicles, threatening journalists, and even being detained after attacking undercover police officers.
While Western corporate media, US President Joe Biden and the Dutch government have faithfully echoed the Israeli propaganda narrative that the Maccabi ultras were innocent victims of an antisemitic "pogrom," no mainstream media outlet has reported to date that the Israeli football hooligans attacked police vehicles and undercover officers, in addition to their assaults on Muslim taxi drivers and other Dutch citizens.
The process to legislate the amended form of Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE) into the school curriculum has seen the diversion of much-needed administrative and teaching time and resources away from education fundamentals such as reading and numeracy, the standards of both of which have fallen alarmingly. The decline in reading and numeracy standards caused by the impact of Covid-related policies has seen the UK achieve its worst standards since 2006 and the US the worst in its history.
Curriculum Councils, which should be spending time reflecting on how reading and numeracy losses can be clawed back and how to successfully incorporate new technologies such as A1 or other valuable aspects of school provision, are instead spending time debating the content and time allocation of an RSE curriculum.
In the wake of Donald Trumps election victory and the jubilant celebration some people might overlook one of these recent events; the state assassination of a man's pet squirrel and the national anger that followed. Why does the death of a squirrel matter? It's not only about the squirrel, it's about the context and what it means for our civilization at large.
In a progressive controlled state (New York), Mark Longo ran a legal animal sanctuary for abandoned and injured animals. He promoted the sanctuary on social media with videos featuring his long time pet, Peanut the Squirrel. Longo rescued Peanut after his mother was killed in an accident and he raised the animal for seven years.
