Joe Biden is not going to like college football's latest chant

College football is back. COVID panic porn peddlers are upset but are powerless. Sports are back. The fans are back. You can have a meltdown in your bunker. We're getting on with life. The season is back after our chaotic and humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan where Joe Biden left Americans behind. The economy is in the toilet, with the August jobs report being utter garbage and way, way below expectations. Inflation is also rising. We're also dealing with a natural disaster in Hurricane Ida — and Joe Biden is at the helm for all of it. Seriously, 81 million people voted for this guy? Nope. You'll never convince me of that, especially after the chants of "f**k Joe Biden" were heard all over the country.

Our friends at Twitchy summed it up perfectly, "it's a movement"

Comment: It might be a bit early to call this a "movement," but let's see if this catches on.

State Dept trying to steal credit for Afghanistan rescue, organizer says: 'Total lie'

The organizer of a private mission to rescue an American mom, Mariam, and her three children from Afghanistan says the US State Department is now trying to insert itself into the story of her evacuation, despite playing little to no role for much of the rescue effort.

Senior State Department officials on Monday announced that the "U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four US citizens by overland route from Afghanistan. Embassy staff was present upon their arrival."

But those actually involved in the dangerous rescue operation say the State Department deserves little to no credit for Mariam's escape from Afghanistan.

Never rile the moms: 'Antifa teacher' placed on leave as school board flees raging Sacramento parents

A California high school "Antifa teacher" was placed on paid leave "for his actions in the classroom" after a fraught school board meeting. He admitted to working on turning kids "into revolutionaries" in a Project Veritas video.

Gabriel Gipe will be removed from his post as an AP government teacher at Inderkum High School, the school board announced on Wednesday. He was placed on paid leave that morning after allegedly violating the Natomas Unified School District's school policies regarding displaying political material and advocating for political outcomes. After a hidden-camera video emerged in which he boasted about turning Sacramento's children into mini-me revolutionaries, nearly half a million angry parents and viewers - either online or in person - turned out to air their grievances.

Comment: The entire school board meeting can be viewed here. The board decamps at 1:37:00

Gipe is taking heat from his comrades (pun intended) not for the message, but for not being sneaky enough in delivering it.

The White House has admitted that President Joe Biden's claim he visited the Tree of Life in the wake of the 2018 massacre that killed 11 congregants is not true after the synagogue revealed he called rather than visited in person.

Biden had told more than a thousand Jewish leaders during a virtual event to celebrate the start of the Jewish High Holidays on Thursday that he had visited the Tree of Life synagogue after the mass shooting.

'I remember spending time at the - you know, going to the - you know, the Tree of Life Synagogue, speaking with the - just - it just is amazing these things are happening - happening in America,' Biden, 78, said.

Vietnam has jailed a man for breaking quarantine and spreading the virus.
A court in Vietnam has jailed a man for five years for breaking strict Covid quarantine rules and spreading the virus to others, state media reported.

Le Van Tri, 28, was convicted of "spreading dangerous infectious diseases" at a one-day trial on Monday at the people's court of the southern province of Ca Mau, the state-run Vietnam News Agency reported.

Vietnam had been one of the world's coronavirus success stories, thanks to targeted mass testing, aggressive contact tracing, tight border restrictions and strict quarantine. But new clusters of infections since late April have tarnished that record.

Lightfoot forges ahead with Oct. 15 vaccine mandate for city employees, despite opposition from all four police unions

Mayor Lori Lightfoot got her second dose of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine in February. It was administered by Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady. Lightfoot said all city employees will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccination. The policy will take effect on Oct. 15.
"This has literally lit a bomb underneath the membership," said Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara. "We're in America, G-ddamn it. We don't want to be forced to do anything. Period. This ain't Nazi f---ing Germany."

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday forged ahead with an Oct. 15 vaccine mandate for all city employees over strenuous and united opposition from all four police unions.
"As cases continue to rise, we must take every step necessary and at our disposal to keep everyone in our city safe and healthy," Lightfoot was quoted as saying in a press release.

"Getting vaccinated has been proven to be the best way to achieve that and make it possible to recover from this devastating pandemic. And so, we have decided to join other municipalities and government agencies across the nation, including the U.S. military, who are making this decision to protect the people keeping our cities and counties moving."

Comment: She is lying and manipulating. Vaccination is not the best way to fight this virus. Israel is an excellent example. They have a high percentage of the population completely vaccinated with 2 doses and their mortality rate is skyrocketing.

Covid Vaccines are more dangerous than the virus itself. It is not about their care for public health. Lockdowns and tyrannical measures took more innocent lives than the virus. It is all about total control of the population.

A second Afghan refugee boy has died in Poland, days after eating poisonous mushrooms.

The six-year-old boy had been left in a critical condition and his chances of survival were low despite a liver transplant.

But doctors at the Centre for Children's Health Institute in Warsaw confirmed on Friday that the boy was dead.

His 5-year-old brother also died of poisoning on Thursday morning, days after the family had recently been evacuated from Kabul.

A former aide to the Prince of Wales has stepped down temporarily from his role as a charity boss while an investigation takes place into claims he offered to help secure an honour and British citizenship for a wealthy donor to royal charities.

Michael Fawcett, a former valet to Charles, has stepped down as chief executive of the Prince's Foundation amid claims he helped coordinate an honour relating to the Saudi businessman Dr Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz.

Mahfouz, who received a CBE in 2016, is listed as a supporter on the Prince's Foundation website. The Sunday Times says he donated £1.5m to restoration projects of particular interest to Charles, including Dumfries House and the Castle of Mey in Scotland, adding that Mahfouz denies any wrongdoing.

Marc Bola has been charged by the English FA.
A 23-year-old footballer has been charged over an alleged sexual orientation insult he made on social media when he was 14 - leaving many fans questioning whether 'cancel culture' is causing senseless disciplinary decisions.

Defender Marc Bola, of Championship side Middlesbrough, has been charged with misconduct over the nine-year-old social media post, the English FA announced on Friday.

Bola was a child in Arsenal's academy at that point, three years away from receiving the scholarship he earned among the Premier League club's youth ranks around the time he turned professional.

Cancel culture insurance? Twitter plans to let you hide old tweets

Social media giant Twitter reportedly plans to introduce a number of new privacy-related features, including one that would allow users to hide their old tweets. Twitter's privacy changes come on the heels of the increasingly common scenario in which a user of the platform is canceled for posts made up to a decade ago on the platform.

MacRumors reports that Twitter is introducing new privacy-related features to its platform that will give users greater control over their follower lists and who can see their profile. One option planned for the platform is a feature that allows users to archive old tweets so that other users are unable to see them after a period of time set by the account holder.

The new features are reportedly part of the platform's efforts to make users more comfortable and secure sharing content on the platform. The privacy initiatives are related to what Jack Dorsey's company calls "social privacy," which includes how users manage their online identities and public image.
