Six members of Ladder 113 have been suspended and will face discipline, according to Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro.
A group of city firefighters drove an FDNY truck from their Brooklyn firehouse to a New York state senator's office and berated his staff over NYC's vaccine mandate, fire officials confirm.

The six members of Ladder 113, who were on duty at the time, have been suspended and will face discipline, according to Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro.

"This is a highly inappropriate act by on-duty members of this Department who should only be concerned with responding to emergencies and helping New Yorkers and not harassing an elected official and his staff," Nigro said.

Comment: New York City seems intent on suicide, alienating its most essential workers:

California is poison to the businesses that exist there either due to its crushing tax burden or its draconian COVID-19 measures, but one business that is fighting back in the best way it can is the Christian-based burger chain In-N-Out.

Previously, the city of San Francisco attempted to force the restaurant to require guests to show their vaccine cards before entry. The In-N-Out location on Fisherman's Wharf posted the requirement on their front window as they were supposed to, but actually refused to carry out checking vaccine cards. The San Francisco Department of Public Health closed the Fisherman's Wharf location, but In-N-Out's Chief Legal Officer Arnie Wensinger made it clear that they weren't going to become the vaccine police on behalf of any government.
"We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government. We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business."
As RedState reported, the fallout from the move has been nothing but good for the burger chain's PR with supporters coming out of the woodwork to patronize the business for its stances. However, the state of California has required the closure of various locations.

A rally in support of Kyle Rittenhouse
Legal experts are saying Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two rioters last summer, has a strong case for arguing self-defense, based on the law of self-defense and precedent.

Last August, when Rittenhouse was 17 years old, he was arrested for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third during a protest-turned-riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He was charged with two felony counts of homicide and one count of felony attempted homicide and is facing potential life in prison.

Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty in January.

On Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would be changing its corporate name to Meta.

Zuckerberg stated during Thursday's online event that the old name of Facebook "doesn't encompass everything that we do." Facebook includes its namesake social media platform, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

According to the New York Post, the new name comes as part of Zuckerberg's push to emphasize a virtual reality world where users can socialize, work, play games and create art, called the "metaverse."

The narcissism of trans activists 'protesting' at David Chappelle sums up how taking choreographed offense has become a plague

Dave Briggs holds a placard as he attends a rally in support of the Netflix transgender employee walkout "Stand Up in Solidarity" to protest the streaming of comedian Dave Chappelle's new comedy special, in Los Angeles, California, U.S. October 20 2021.
The Chappelle/Netflix/trans fuss is just the latest in a series of minor social dust-ups that will continue so long as every cultural subgroup seeks time on the protest carousel. Whose turn is to be offended next week?

Before I begin, I just want to make sure everyone did their homework. By now, we should all have our own self-identifying cultural sub-group named. You can define it any way you wish. It's just essential that you be able to monitor interpersonal and global communications for any whisper of mockery, sarcasm or criticism. If you haven't completed this assignment, you won't be able to demand tragic attention when life's cruel jokesters lob perceived insults your way.

Surely, you can see how well it's working for the most sensitive members of this week's chosen victim set. One stand-up comic got up on stage and joked about their members (no pun intended). They immediately claimed prime "victim of the week" status and rode the headline tidal waves to the top fold.

The president of a California school district was caught cursing on a hot mic during a school board meeting Tuesday, after a parent gave a speech knocking masks in classrooms and COVID-19 vaccination mandates for students.

Lauren Roupoli, who called herself a concerned parent, addressed the Los Alamitos Unified School District Board of Education and spoke about the problems she perceives are involved with enforcing a mask mandates in children.

Her belief is that any possible benefit is far outweighed by the risks.

'Nazis' bearing tiki-torches, allegedly supporting Republican candidate in Virginia election, exposed as false-flag stunt by Democratic establishment

Comment: THIS is election meddling...

A group dressed as white supremacists poses in front of Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus in Charlottesville, Virginia, October 29, 2021.
With the Virginia gubernatorial campaign down to the wire, Democrats pointed and shrieked at "Nazis" allegedly supporting their opponent in Charlottesville. The Lincoln Project then admitted to the false-flag stunt.

The election has gone from a sure thing for Democrat Terry McAuliffe to a possible upset by Republican Glenn Youngkin in recent weeks. On Friday, as Youngkin came to Charlottesville for the final campaign push, reporters were drawn to a group of people posing in front of his bus in pouring rain. All five wore hats, sunglasses, white shirts, khakis and tiki torches - in what seemed to be a reference to the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally that ended in violence.


Comment: It seems pretty obvious that this wasn't a 'demonstration,' despite trying to spin it as such after the stunt was exposed. They were trying to pull a fast one, and in their blatant hubris, thought they wouldn't get caught. But in the digital age, Twitter-sleuths are better at uncovering these things than people tend to anticipate.

Health minister Adrian Dix and chief provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry provide an update on COVID-19 on Oct. 26 2021.
B.C.'s health minister called Tuesday a "solemn day" as 4,090 health care workers missed the deadline for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and were placed on unpaid leave before they could potentially lose their job. Advertisement Article content

That is just over three per cent of B.C.'s 126,000 health-care workers.


Adrian Dix said 1,369 of the unvaccinated workers are in the Interior region of the province and that overall vaccination rates are also low in Northern health.

"Health authorities are taking steps across B.C. to deal with the challenges presented by this," Dix said.

The same day, B.C. announced a plan for all eligible residents aged 12 and up to get booster shots by next May as part of a program that is already underway for those at highest risk of breakthrough infection.

Author Brittney Cooper speaks during the "Feminism: A Battlefield Report" session at the 10th Anniversary Women In The World Summit on April 11, 2019 in New York City
A Rutgers University professor said, "We got to take these motherf---kers out," when discussing White people in September.

Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, made the comment during an event titled, "Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory," hosted by The Root.

"Like, the thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf---kers out. But, like, we can't say that, right? We can't say, like, I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't," Cooper said.

Cooper was responding to a question posed by Michael Harriot, senior writer for The Root, who asked Cooper what can be expected out of White people from Black Americans.

Cooper also said that she believes that "White folks" are not "eternal."

Comment: Cooper is also probably insane.
