Taxpayers Stuck with Bill of $392.69 per Person per Night on Hotels for Illegals Crossing Border

 

This is infuriating.

Joe Biden and the Democrat majority government are spending $72,000 per person to house illegal aliens and fake refugees in hotels in Texas and Arizona.

 

The average median household income in America in 2019 was $65,712 per household. And that was before the, before the Fauci lockdowns in 2020.

Biden’s Plan to House Illegal Immigrants in Hotels to Cost Taxpayers $72,000 per Border-Crosser: Report

 

 

President Joe Biden’s plan to house migrants in United States hotels is set to cost American taxpayers about $72,000 per border crosser awarded a room, analysis details.

 

This week, the Biden administration announced it awarded a Texas-based nonprofit an $86 million contract to pay for hotel rooms in the U.S. for border crossers. The contract is for six months and will provide rooms to about 1,200 migrant families.

 

Analysis by former federal immigration judge Andrew Arthur, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies, finds the cost to taxpayers is expensive.

 

Arthur writes at CIS.org:

 

On March 20, Axios reported that the Biden administration has entered into a six-month contract worth $86 million to house 1,200 migrant family members near the Southwest border in Texas and Arizona. That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history.

 

Keep in mind, as the outlet notes, that $86 million is just the beginning, as the contract (“through Endeavors, a Texas-based nonprofit” — I would hate to see the tab if they were in it for the money) “could be extended and expanded”.

 

Why does the Biden administration need $86 million in hotel space? ICE, which detains adults and adults traveling with children (family units or FMUs), is already using its family residential centers (FRCs) as “rapid-processing centers with the goal of releasing families within 72 hours”. But apparently even with that short turn-around time, the agency is running out of space.

Creepy Bill Gates Says He Knows When the World’s Coronavirus Crisis Will Be Over – Not This Year

 

According to Bill Gates, the self-ordained world expert on the China coronavirus catastrophy, the crisis will be over in 2022.

 

The New York Post reported yesterday:

 

Bill Gates has predicted that the world will be “completely back to normal” from the COVID-19 pandemic by the end of 2022.

 

The Microsoft founder said the health crisis has been an “incredible tragedy,” but one bright spot has been the arrival of vaccines.

 

“By the end of 2022 we should be basically completely back to normal,” Gates said in an interview for Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and television broadcaster TVN24.

 

Gates warned us last August that the pandemic wouldn’t be over until nearly everyone was vaccinated:

 

By the time Bill Gates is finished, everyone around the world will have taken multiple ‘vaccines’ and we’ll be a brand new world.

Dominion Voting Systems Sue FOX News for $1.6 Billion over 2020 Elections — Follows Smartmatic Lawsuit

 

Dominion Voting Systems sued FOX News on Friday for $1.6 billion in a defamation lawsuit.

 

Back in November FOX News host Dana Perino urged Dominion Voting Systems to sue Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

 

FOX News was also sued by Smartmatic following the 2020 election.

 

The AP reported:

 

Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, arguing the cable news giant falsely claimed in an effort to boost faltering ratings that the voting company had rigged the 2020 election.

 

The lawsuit is part of a growing body of legal action filed by the voting company and other targets of misleading, false and bizarre claims spread by President Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden. Those claims helped spur on rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a violent siege that left five people dead, including a police officer. The siege led to Trump’s historic second impeachment.

 

Dominion argues that Fox News, which amplified inaccurate assertions that Dominion altered votes, “sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process,” according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by The Associated Press.

 

“The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” the lawsuit said. “Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process. If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster, then nothing does.”

 

Even before Dominion’s lawsuit on Friday, Fox News had already filed four motions to dismiss other legal actions against its coverage.

Massachusetts 8th Grade Science Teacher Outed as Member of Antifa That Berated Cops and Children at Recent Protest

 

A science teacher at Mansfield Public Schools has been outed as a far-left extremist who harassed police officers and children during a recent anti-lockdown protest.

 

Jill Sheridan is an 8th grade science teacher at Qualters Middle School in Mansfield — as well as an active participant in extremist Antifa protests.

 

At least one of her extremist friends who also attended the protest was armed and arrested for assault and battery.

 

“Over the weekend in Bridgewater she and several of her Antifa friends decided to disrupt an anti-lockdown rally in the center of town, in which three of her friends were arrested for assaulting police officers and carrying guns. It should be noted that she was in town for a BLM rally, which was a mile away from the anti-lockdown rally. She chose to leave that rally and disrupt the anti-lockdown rally, rather than peacefully rally in defense of black lives,” Turtle Boy Sports, who first broke the news of her extremism, reported.

 

On Facebook, the teacher is friends with Jake Zawalick, who was arrested at the protest and charged with assault and battery, disorderly conduct, affray, resisting arrest and carrying a dangerous weapon while committing a breach of peace.

 

TBS also obtained a video of the teacher “harassing police officers, removing her mask when she gets close to them in order to try to get peaceful protesters arrested, and then sadistically targeting what appears to be two kids who were observing the madness.” The video can be viewed in their report.

 

The teacher also argued with concerned parents who do not want her teaching their children. Turtle Boy has saved many of those conversations on their website.

 

The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the school district for comment and will update this post if one is provided.

Democracy has seen 500,000 US Covid deaths: China hits back as Biden says Xi Jinping ‘doesn’t have a democratic bone in his body’

 

The Chinese foreign ministry has issued a stern rebuke of US President Joe Biden’s criticism of Beijing’s supposed lack of democratic values, claiming a label of democracy is not as important as looking after a country’s people.

 

Speaking on Friday, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying addressed comments made by the US president in his first solo press conference on Thursday, in which Biden claimed Chinese leader Xi Jinping “doesn’t have a democratic bone in his body.”

 

Hua said that the issues of democracy and centralization were not important as long as the state can “bring political stability, social progress, and improve people’s livelihood.” The spokeswoman stated that Beijing “pursues a people-centered philosophy” which is in stark contrast “to the US electoral politics centered on partisan political interests.”

 

Turning to the US’ internal challenges, the spokeswoman highlighted flaws in American democracy, claiming that it was not working in the best interest of its people despite its perceived wealth and power.

 

No matter how much a country boasts of its democratic values, it sat by and watched more than 500,000 people die from the epidemic without doing anything, and more than 40,000 people killed by gun violence each year without doing anything.

 

Speaking on Thursday, President Biden admitted the challenge that China poses to US hegemony and made a number of comments about the Chinese leader. “He doesn’t have a democratic – with a small ‘d’ – bone in his body, but he’s a smart, smart guy,” Biden said about Xi Jinping.

 

The president also stated that he would ensure the US isn’t overtaken by China as the world’s number one power. “They have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world and the most powerful country in the world. That’s not going to happen on my watch.”

 

China’s relations with the US have shown few signs of improving since the Biden Administration came to office. In recent weeks, the US and its allies have blasted Beijing for alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang province. Beijing denies any wrongdoing.

US Navy Heads To Suez Canal To "Assess" Stuck Container Ship After Failed Refloating Attempts

 

Update (1300ET): Vessels headed to the Suez Canal are already changing course as it could take days to refloat Ever Given.

 

Refinitiv data shows LNG tanker Pan Americas deviated from its route in the Atlantic Ocean on Mar. 24, likely due to Suez's developments. The tanker appears to be headed around the Cape of Good Hope.

 

We noted earlier that a sail around the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Suez Canal could add an extra ten days, plus additional fuel costs.

 

 

Update (1221): CNN's Barbara Starr reports the US Navy will send an "assessment team of dredging experts to Suez Canal as soon as Saturday to advise authorities on options to try to free the stuck tanker Ever Given." Starr said the report was confirmed by two US Department of Defense officials.

 

BREAKING: CNN has learned @USNavy expects to send assessment team of dredging experts to Suez Canal as soon as Saturday to advise authorities on options to try to free the stuck tanker Ever Given, according to two DOD officials. Comes after Egypt accepted @USEmbassyCairo offer.

— Barbara Starr (@barbarastarrcnn) March 26, 2021

 

This comes as multiple attempts to refloat the massive container ship have failed.

 

Sports betting website MyBookie is now offering bets on when the container ship will be "declared unstuck" from the canal.

At least 32 dead, 66 injured as two trains crash in southern Egypt

 

Two trains have collided near the Egyptian city of Sohag, killing 32 people and injuring at least 66 others. The country's prime minister is chairing a crisis meeting in response.

 

Dramatic footage showed people trying to rescue passengers trapped inside the twisted wreckage outside Sohag, some 300 miles south of the capital, Cairo.

 

At least 36 ambulances were sent to the site of the crash and took victims to local hospitals, the health ministry said in a statement.

 

Three carriages were derailed as one train crashed into the back of another, although the exact cause of the accident has not yet been reported.

 

The Egyptian prime minister Mostafa Madbouly has chaired a crisis meeting, Al Jazeera reported.

 

The news outlet also said the Minister of Transport, Lieutenant General Kamel al-Wazir, has ordered that the drivers of both trains be detained.

 

It comes after another crash two years ago at Cairo's Ramses Station killed 24 people and caused an explosion and a fire.

 

In 2017, Egypt saw some 1,793 train accidents, according to the most recent data.

Video Shows Saudi Red Sea Oil Terminal Ablaze After Fresh Drone Attack

 

Video has emerged of the aftermath of yet another Yemeni Houthi drone and missile attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. A Houthi military statement has since confirmed it was behind the sabotage operation targeting key Saudi sites.

 

In the early hours of Friday a statement from the Saudi Oil Ministry confirmed that an oil terminal on the kingdom's Red Sea coast was struck by bomb-laden drones out of Yemen.

 

As a result an oil terminal in Jizan, which lies just north of the Sauid-Yemen border, was engulfed in fire but which left no casualties. As cited in state-run SPA, a Saudi spokesman condemned the "cowardly attack against vital installations".

 

The statement further underscored that these ongoing and ramped-up attacks, multiple of which have occurred within just the past month, "not only target the Kingdom, but also petroleum exports, the stability of energy supply to the world, freedom of world trade, as well as the global economy."

 

Unconfirmed social media videos which circulated in the aftermath showed flames shooting high over the Jizan facility.

 

The port city has actually been targeted many times, and has a new high-tech refinery which is described as follows: "Jizan is home to a new refinery and port facilities for the energy giant Saudi Arabian Oil Co. The refinery, with a capacity of 400,000 barrels a day, sent its first shipment abroad last year."

 

As MarketWatch notes: "Benchmark Brent crude BRNK21, 3.54% rose to over $62 a barrel in early trading Friday after the attack. Energy prices have risen recently off growing demand as coronavirus vaccinations increase and Egypt’s Suez Canal remains closed due to a massive container ship wedged across the vital waterway."

 

Later in the day Yemen's Houthis took responsibility for the Jizan attack while also claiming others in a broader and "successful" multi-pronged operation…

 

As we detailed at the start of this week, the Saudi military announced it's taking additional steps to protect its oil installations. It initiated within past days the "Confrontation 4" joint exercises which were geared specifically toward raising "readiness" to thwart future "terrorist attacks" on Saud energy and resource infrastructure.

 

This comes as fears grow that another major "Iran-sponsored attack" on Saudi oil processing sites, such as occurred with the major 2019 Abqaiq–Khurais attack, could cause the price of crude to skyrocket.

US stargazers treated to a visual feast as deorbiting Falcon 9 second stage gets obliterated in spectacular fire rain

 

People in Oregon and Washington witnessed an unusual spectacle on Thursday night, when a used second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket broke down and burned up in the atmosphere over their heads.

 

Space X is yet to confirm that the debris filmed by many amused witnesses on the US northwestern coast was part of its rocket ending its life cycle, but its origin was identified by multiple amateur astronomers.

 

The fiery shower in the sky puzzled quite a few witnesses on the ground as the brightly burning debris was passing over.

Facebook platforms used for most online child sex abuse, UK charity says, warns pedophiles thrive if encryption isn’t limited

 

The UK’s leading child-protection charity says pedophiles, abusers and groomers are thriving on Facebook’s social media platforms, with end-to-end encryption giving them a perfect opportunity to abuse children and victims.

 

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) said that Facebook’s platforms had been used in more than half (52%) of all online child sex crimes over the past year. UK police recorded more than 9,400 cases where online communication was being used to commit sexual or indecent image offences against children between October 2019 and September 2020.

 

Because end-to-end encryption allows every conversation to be private, there’s little opportunity to safeguard children from abusers and groomers, the charity warned.

 

It fears more crimes will go unreported or undetected if big tech companies expand encryption, adding the national lockdown became a catalyst for even more online activity by groomers and abusers.

 

“The proposals to extend end-to-end encryption on messaging platforms mean they are essentially putting a blindfold on itself,” said Andy Burrows, head of the NSPCC’s child safety online policy, adding social networks won’t be able to identify child abuse images or grooming of victims on sites.

 

Because abusers know they will be able to operate with impunity, therefore it means that not only will current levels of abuse go largely undetected, but it’s highly likely that we’ll see more child abuse.

 

Instagram is being exploited more and more by offenders, the NSPCC said, and the Facebook-owned site accounts for more than a third of all incidents. And the charity wants police to be able to see what’s being posted.

 

There was no immediate reaction from Facebook. The platform’s transparency policy said it does not allow content that sexually exploits or endangers children and reports apparent child exploitation to authorities.

 

The NSPCC urged the UK government to compel tech firms to prioritize child safety when they are designing platforms.

 

A new ‘Online Safety Bill’ is being drafted by the UK government and a spokesman for it said the burden will fall on social media companies to prove they’re doing all they can to keep children safe, adding “they will not be able to use encryption as an excuse.”

Hunter Biden’s Texts Confirm Gun Was Taken, Left in Dumpster – ‘Police, FBI, Secret Service Came on Scene’.

 

Today The National Pulse is publishing a full, unedited, long text message from Hunter Biden, son of the President of the United States, wherein Biden appears to admit the recent stories about his gun being taken and left in a dumpster near a school.

 

The following, near-2500 word text message, is between Hunter Biden and Hallie (his brother Beau’s widow) Biden’s sister Liz. We have highlighted the key parts as they related to alleged criminality and the latest stories in the news. We have not edited the text. We have confirmed the phone numbers belong to Hunter Biden and Liz Secundy.

Read Hunter’s message from 29th January 2019:

 

Everything I say below is verifiably true. I left out anything that cant be confirmed by a text an email a recording a phone record a voice mail. Ive left out a lot. I love Hallie and cant seem to escape her. May be she tis truly in aware of how abused and trapped I feel by her. She tells everyone she loves me. I believe her concern for my life. I think she does love me in her way. Why does all of it matter to me. What does any of it have to with m y health. Why do I need another person to hear this and Hallie to know . I do because Ive felt so much for anyone. Ive never given up so much for another. No matter what she does or denies or fails to do I crawl back to her and beg for her to just love me. I need to know why she has this power over me. And I need for her to tell me why she so easily in the worst time in my life has been so cruel and continues to be. Why do I love the person who has done all of below and more. If this is all in my mind ands she really hasnʼt said or done these things (which I have records of) then I am insane. Insane for leaving the most intense love Iʼve ever felt and flat out hallucinating for 3 years now. Part of me hopes and prays it is all in my head then I can be fixed andre can be together. I have said mean and horrible things to Hallie. Ive been with woman and admitted that. Im an addict. Im loud and brash and difficult. But ‘im loyal to a fault. And so confused. Im trapped clean or dirty sober or not. Maybe e thats the delusion, but tell me what Iʼve done to deserve this and how I can ever just let it all go. Its made me in the eyes of most everyone I know a person I no longer recognize nor trust. I have never blamed hallie for not being able to get sober- because I have bin fact gotten sober and stayed sober far longer then she ever has. I need to know why.

 

Hallie makes me so sad and insecure she confirms every deepest insecurity Iʼve ever had is real and she picks at them with malice aforethought. She is secretive and deceitful and lives at least three lives behind the one she shows most and they that all contradict public face. She cherishes the chameleon in her- she even wrote a defense of the chameleon personality in an online blog. Ive seen all her sides and accept all of them love al of her. But even though weʼve had deep discussions about the true Hallie she will deny they exist when I point it out.

 

She tells me Iʼm a failure but she will always love me that she canʼt control the fact that all my friends have always thought of me as a joke and the clown that beau took care of. She flat out says these things to me and not always in anger sometimes justas an aside. She and David called me Johnny Drama in the months following Beauʼs death when I was sober post inpatient and in IOP. The looser brother always following along behind his super star brother picking up the crumbs he left on the floor. Johnny Drama the big talking lovable embarrassment that was selfish and stupid but loyal. They came up with that when they were lying to me about being out or in together for whatever reason I still donʼt know- or maybe do but canʼt face.

Border Patrol Debunks Biden’s Seasonal Migration Spike Claim, Reveals Over 110% Increase In Unaccompanied Minors Compared To Same Time Last Year.

 

Customs and Border Protection officials revealed a 114 percent increase in apprehensions of unaccompanied minors along the U.S. southern border as “compared to the same time frame last year,” debunking claims peddled by President Biden and the mainstream media that the current border surge is seasonal.

 

The press release – 70 Unaccompanied Children Encountered by Border Patrol Near the Rio Grande – chronicled Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials detaining unaccompanied minors and family units across the southern border.

 

The report also notes that “Border Patrol agents continue seeing an increase in UAC encounters along the border.” “This fiscal year, RGV has seen a 114% increase in UAC apprehensions compared to the same time frame last year,” the CBP statement adds.

 

The data debunks a claim often repeated by the Biden White House and mainstream media that the current surge is part of a “predictable pattern.” President Biden echoed the claims at his March 25th press conference, suggesting an influx happens “every single solitary year.”

Mitt Romney Wins John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for Impeachment Vote

 

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) was named to receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award Friday for being the only Republican who voted to convict former President Donald Trump in his first impeachment trial.

 

“The award was created by the family of the late president to honor public figures who risk their careers by embracing unpopular positions for the greater good, and is named after Kennedy’s 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, ‘Profiles in Courage,'” NBC 5 reported.

 

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum’s website said Romney’s “courageous stand was historic.”

 

“Senator Romney’s commitment to our Constitution makes him a worthy successor to the Senators who inspired my father to write Profiles in Courage,” former Ambassador Caroline Kennedy commented.

 

“He reminds us that our Democracy depends on the courage, conscience, and character of our elected officials,” she continued.

 

Kennedy and her son, Jack Schlossberg, will present the award during a virtual ceremony in May.

 

In a tweet Friday morning, Romney said he was “humbled” by the recognition:

 

In February, hundreds signed an online petition criticizing Romney and state GOP leaders for not censuring the lawmaker over his vote to convict Trump, Breitbart News reported:

 

“Senator Willard Mitt Romney has failed, and continues to fail, to represent the average conservative Utah Republican voter,” the petition states, declaring that the Utah senator has “misrepresented himself as a Republican” and concluding that he has “prioritized his personal and political vendetta against President Donald J. Trump ahead of the Constitution of the United States, the interest of We, the People, and the advancement of the Republican Platform.”

 

The petition brought up Romney’s past conduct, identifying him as the only GOP senator to join Democrats in voting to convict Trump on one of the articles of impeachment during the Democrats’ failed impeachment attempt last year. It also criticized Romney for supporting the continuation of the “unconstitutional” impeachment trial of Trump by voting to allow witnesses.

 

However, Romney has since said he is “pretty sure” former President Trump would be the GOP presidential nominee if he chose to run again in 2024, according to Breitbart News.

 

“I think he’d win the nomination if he runs,” Romney commented, adding, “I mean, a lot can happen between now and 2024.”

Ted Cruz to VP Harris: ‘Allow Media to Film’ CBP Centers Holding Migrant Kids

 

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called out Vice President Kamala Harris over the border crisis late on Wednesday, requesting that the Biden Administration grant media access to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities dealing with the influx of unaccompanied children and other migrants.

 

Cruz, who serves on the Senate Committees on Foreign Relations and the Judiciary, asked the administration for transparency via Twitter, ahead of his trip Friday to a migrant processing facility in Donna, located in the portion of the U.S. border that lies in Texas where 17 other lawmakers will join him.

 

President Joe Biden recently tapped Harris to lead efforts to stem the flow of migrants, even as the administration continues to call the situation a “challenge, rather than a ‘crisis.'”

 

Republicans and the Presidents of El Salvador and Mexico suggested the Biden administration’s policies are to blame for the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico Border.

 

Addressing the VP, Sen Cruz wrote on Twitter late Wednesday night:

 

[Seventeen] senators are joining me at the TX border [Friday]. The Biden admin is refusing to allow [the] press to see the CBP facilities. Since you’ve promised to “release children from cages,” surely your admin will allow media to film the empty cages. If not, what are you hiding?

 

Sen. Cruz took Harris on a ride down memory lane, reminding his followers she tweeted in 2019 that, as president, she would release children from cages and do away with private immigration detention centers that continue to operate.

 

Under mounting pressure to grant media access, the White House on Wednesday allowed a congressional delegation and one network pool reporter and camera crew to visit a shelter in Carrizo Springs, Texas, run by the U.S. Department of Health Human Services (HHS).

 

HHS facilities, like the one in Carrizo Springs, are better equipped to deal with minors.

 

The HHS facility in Texas visited by the one TV reporter is reportedly not over capacity like the CBP migrant processing center in Donna, Texas, seen in recently released photos highlighting crowded and “inhumane” conditions.

 

On Tuesday, CBP, a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), also released B-roll footage and still images of its Donna and El Paso temporary processing facilities to media members.

 

Similar to pictures of the Donna facility that a Democrat congressman released to the media the previous day, the photos disseminated by CBP show crowded areas, including kids sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder on mats on the floor with aluminum blankets and on benches. They also show dozens of children in a transparent pen.

 

“In order to protect the health and safety of our workforce and those in our care, we continue to discourage external visitors in our facilities; however, CBP is working to balance the need for public transparency and accountability,” the agency said in a statement.

 

“We will look for ways to continue to increase transparency and provide additional access,” Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, added at a White House briefing Wednesday.

 

It appears Sen. Cruz was neither satisfied or impressed with the White House allowing one camera into an uncrowded HHS facility or the release of video footage and photos by CBP in the wake of transparency pressure by members of the president’s own party.

 

Hours before sending out his tweet addressing VP Harris about the border crisis, Cruz blasted the lack of transparency involving the treatment of children at CBP facilities.

The 'disinformation dozen': Two-thirds of anti-vaxx content circulating on Facebook and Twitter can be traced back to just 12 people including Robert F Kennedy Jr, report claims

 

Around two-thirds of viral anti-vaccine social media content circulating on Facebook and Twitter has been linked to just 12 notable individuals in new research.

 

Content that was shared more than 812,000 times on the social media platforms between February 1 and March 16 was analysed by The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and Anti-Vax Watch alliance.

 

The alliance found that up to 65 percent of the content was attributed to 12 people, dubbed the 'disinformation dozen', including Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prolific anti-vaccine campaigner and son of former US attorney general Robert Kennedy.

 

In the 40-page report, the CCDH and Anti-Vax Watch alliance variety a breakdown of examples of the types of posts being shared by the 12 people, and devoted a number of pages to each person.

 

Examples of their posts were included in the report. Some posts perpetuated conspiracy theories relating to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, unfounded claims that vaccines cause harm to specific groups, or that vaccines cause autism.

 

Other posts from the 12 people claimed that the coronavirus pandemic was not real, that masks had no effect on transmission, shared unproven coronavirus treatments and the unfounded claim that Covid-19 vaccines pose a threat to pregnant women.

 

In addition to anti-vaxx and Covid-19 content, the examples also included posts that used racist antisemitic imagery, such as one post shared by Erin Elizabeth in which she perpetuated a prominent conspiracy theory about the Rothschild family.

 

The most prolific spreader of anti-vaccine content was Joseph Mercola, an alternative medicine entrepreneur who has over 3.6m followers across Facebook, Instagram and Facebook, the report said.

 

Mercola has previously been warned by the US Food and Drug Administration to stop selling supplements that claimed to treat coronavirus.

 

Ty and Charlene Bollinger, anti-vaxxer campaigners who have promoted the conspiracy theory that Bill Gates plans to inject humans with microchips in Covid-Vaccines, were also on the list.

 

Mask-sceptic physician Sherri Tenpenny and conspiracy theorist and influencer Rizza Islam also featured on the list.

Johns Hopkins professor hits out at Dr. Fauci for denying the US is approaching herd immunity and says 'it's not healthy for a small group of people' to be making decisions for Americans

 

A Johns Hopkins professor has slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci for denying that the United States is approaching herd immunity amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Dr. Marty Makary, who is also a Fox News contributor, told Brian Kilmeade on Thursday that 'it's not healthy for a small group of people' to be making all the health decisions for Americans.

 

'I don't think it's healthy for a small group of people to be making all the public health recommendations. It's good to have multiple voices,' Makary said.

 

He claims that the low rate of reinfections and high percentages of people showing antibodies indicate that the United States is approaching herd immunity through both vaccinations and natural immunity, which he claims Fauci has ignored.

 

There have been more than 133 million vaccines administered in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Thursday, there have been 30,076,486 total infections with 546,507 deaths from COVID-19.

 

The Johns Hopkins professor slammed Fauci's track record throughout the pandemic and for initially missing the mark on how the virus is transmitted, the effectiveness of masks and mitigation.

 

'His job is to prepare us for a pandemic and tell us how to manage it. He mostly missed the pandemic for the two months prior, never prepared us, was wrong on masks,' Makary said.

 

'We should have known that but the aerosolized transmission because Sars-CoV-2 behaves like Sars-CoV-1. That was aerosolized droplets as well. He was around for that.'

 

During the segment, Makary explained why he believed Americans have already started to reach herd immunity.

 

'After you get the infection, your body develops antibodies. These are the same antibodies the vaccine is trying to trigger and create,' Makary said.

 

'When you have circulating antibodies, that means have you protection from the infection.'

 

The San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this month that about 38% of Californians had antibodies against the coronavirus, according to figures presented during a virtual meeting hosted by the California Medical Association.

 

During the webinar, researchers said that 45% of people in Los Angeles have these antibodies. The Bay Area and greater Sacramento region each recorded 32% of the population with COVID-19 antibodies.

 

Makary pointed to this data as evidence that Americans are approaching herd immunity.

 

'That's why infections are down 95% in Los Angeles over the last 10 weeks, their positivity rate is down to 1.6% right now,' Makary said.

 

Los Angeles County saw just 608 new cases and 66 deaths reported on Thursday, according to the health department's website.

 

'Reinfections are very rare. That means, naturally immunity is real,' Makary said.

Judges Impose New Type Of Censorship: “Banned From The Internet”

 

Beverly Hills esthetician and eyelash stylist Gina Bisignano was so present on social media that the federal criminal complaint against her practically wrote itself.

 

The story of a 52-year-old salon owner who charted a dark path of disinformation to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, where she allegedly grabbed a bullhorn and urged rioters to take up weapons, is backed by one social media post after another embedded in the Department of Justice filing.

 

There is Bisignano in her Louis Vuitton sweater, filmed in front of the Capitol talking about her business and hometown as the riot was getting underway. There she is again, addressing rioters with a rant about globalists, George Soros and stolen votes. And again, calling for weapons and gas masks moments before a rioter attacks an officer with what appears to be a baseball bat.

 

Now, Bisignano has gone silent online. She is not allowed on the internet. Not because social media platforms banned her, but because a federal judge did. If Bisignano goes online while awaiting trial, she risks being jailed.

 

Judges have long been reluctant to ban anyone from the internet, a restriction that essentially cuts a person off from much of modern society and has been reserved mostly for accused and convicted pedophiles. But as toxic disinformation becomes an increasingly dangerous threat, driving domestic terrorism and violence, the courts are facing vexing new questions around how often and under what circumstances those accused of taking part should be taken offline altogether.

 

“We are headed into uncharted waters,” said Nina Jankowicz, a fellow at the Wilson Center, a Washington think tank, where she studies disinformation. “Given the threats we see continuing and the heightened alerts, it is clear things are not dissipating. … That is why judges are making these calls.”

 

In the case of Bisignano, the ban might have been an easy one for the judge to make. The defendant asked for it. Her lawyer saw it as one of the few bargaining chips the Capitol riot suspect from California had to stay out of jail for now.

 

“If it weren’t for social media, she wouldn’t even be a defendant,” said Bisignano’s attorney, Charles Peruto. “She knows that is what got her jammed in the first place.”

 

Yet attorneys for others accused of taking part in the attack on the Capitol are aggressively fighting the restrictions, and judges are struggling with how far to take them.

 

Prosecutors have moved to bar at least five defendants in the Capitol insurrection from going on social media platforms or even going online at all, according to a review of court filings by The Times. Those defendants are awaiting trial dates that will be months away as the Justice Department grapples with one of the most complex and all-consuming investigations in its history.

Russian Defense Advisor Accuses US of Waging Psychological War

 

In recent weeks, the US has slapped sanctions on Russia, accused of election meddling with no evidence, and President Biden called Putin a 'killer'

 

An advisor to Russia’s defense minister said the US and other Western countries are waging a psychological war against Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

“A new type of warfare … is starting to appear. I call it, for the sake of argument, mental war,” said Andrei Ilnitsky, who advises Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. “A war is being waged for people’s minds,” he said in comments to Russia’s Spas TV. Ilnitsky said the US is using “informational” and economic measures to undermine Putin and Russian institutions.

 

When asked if he agreed with Ilnitsky’s assessment, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “A deliberate policy to contain and keep Russia down is being pursued. It is absolutely constant and visible to the naked eye.”

 

Examples that could be considered “psychological warfare” from the US towards Russia are the constant accusations Washington hurls at Moscow that are not backed by evidence.

 

For example, the US blames Moscow for the hack of the software firm SolarWinds that affected several government agencies. But besides a claim from US intelligence agencies that the hack was “likely” carried out by Russia, no evidence has been presented to show Moscow was responsible, and it was revealed that a password for SolarWinds’ server was publicly available on the internet for years.

 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released a report that claimed Putin ordered an influence campaign to “denigrate” President Biden during the 2020 elections. But again, no evidence backs up the claim, and the report does not explain how the intelligence officials reached this conclusion. Regardless of the lack of evidence, President Biden has said Putin will “pay a price” for the alleged interference.

 

In the same interview that he threatened action over dubious election interference allegations, President Biden agreed that Putin is a “killer” and said the Russian leader has “no soul.” Besides the rhetoric, the Biden administration is also taking economic action against Moscow.

 

The US recently slapped sanctions on Russia that were coordinated with the EU over the jailing of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. Reports say the Biden administration is preparing sanctions over the claims of election interference. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning more sanctions are coming that will target the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline that would connect Russia to Germany.

Nasrallah: CIA Director demanded release of top al-Qaeda leader in Yemen

 

CONTAINS THE LEAKED PHONE CALL BETWEEN CIA DIRECTOR GEORGE TENET AND YEMENI PRESIDENT SALEH, WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES

Transcript:

 

[…] Those (Hezbollah fighters) war-wounded who fought and made sacrifices, as well as the wounded people who bore the burden of these struggles —I am talking about the many wounded civilians affected by Israeli aggressions and abuses by collaborators during the occupation (of Lebanon), whether they are war-wounded among combatants or civilians due to the consequences of the battle against Takfiri (terrorist) groups, those who were injured by the car bombs that were sent to our towns and villages in previous years, or even during the Israeli occupation, because (the Zionists) also used car bombs against our towns and villages to kill our cadres and our fighters…

 

Anyway, day after day, these war-wounded become more lucid, as is the case of the families of martyrs, and of all the resistance fighters, mujahideen and supporters of this path (of Resistance): their awareness, understanding and faith are constantly increasing thanks to (new) facts and (new) data, confirming and convincing them that the struggle in which they entered, fought and were injured, that the place where they were injured, paying the price for their stance (in favor of Resistance), was rightful and appropriate. Regarding the fight against Israel, the legitimacy of this fight is clear, and concerning (the fight against) the terrorist takfiri groups, I will limit myself to pointing out only one thing before evoking the internal situation (in Lebanon): day after day, as we now commemorate the tenth anniversary of the outbreak of the universal war against Syria, the role and true identity of these armed Takfiri terrorist groups appear day after day with ever greater clarity, as well as the role and identity of those who use them, direct them, protect them, support them and push them to act (in such and such a direction). In addition to the confessions and previously revealed documents that prove all of this, new evidence is emerging day by day, and I hope that despite the attention of the Lebanese being monopolized by (the acute economic crisis of the) dollar and its parity with the Lebanese pound (which has reached its lowest threshold in history), the Lebanese people and peoples of the region will take into consideration what was published yesterday in the media by our brothers in Yemen, in Sana’a.

 

Living evidence, a sound recording, shows that the Director of the CIA himself (George Tenet), expressed concern for the fate of a well-known al-Qaeda leader (Anwar Al-Awlaki), who was detained in Sana’a during the time of the former President of Yemen (Saleh), to the point of contacting the latter directly to ask him to release this top leader of the Al-Qaeda organization. And this while it is a terrorist group, and that you (Americans) have torn apart the whole Middle East from (the invasion of) Afghanistan (in 2001) to (the invasion of) Iraq (in 2003) and the whole world on the pretext of fighting Al-Qaeda. But that does not prevent Tenet from demanding the release of this terrorist leader, demanding that he be handed over (to US forces). Of course, (Anwar Al-Awlaki) was released, and for a while he carried out a lot of (terrorist) operations. Then when they no longer needed him they killed him. All of this is clearly said in an explicit sound recording.

FFS now that is some serious spin HILL

 

Georgia's restrictive new voting law hit with legal challenge

 

Voting rights groups on Thursday night filed a lawsuit just hours after Georgia enacted a Republican-crafted law that gives state lawmakers more power over elections and imposes a raft of new voting restrictions.

 

The 35-page complaint filed in federal court in Atlanta alleges that minority voters will be hit especially hard by the new legislation, which plaintiffs say illegally suppresses voters’ rights in violation of constitutional protections and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

 

According to the lawsuit, the new restrictions are “clearly intended to and will have the effect of making it harder for lawful Georgia voters to participate in the State’s elections,” adding that the measure will impose “unjustifiable burdens” that disproportionately impact people of color, as well as young, poor and disabled voters.

 

The lawsuit was filed shortly after Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed a sweeping elections bill into law, tightening voting rules in the Peach State by limiting the use of ballot drop boxes and setting photo ID requirements for absentee voting, among other restrictions.

 

The GOP-controlled state General Assembly gave final approval to the measure in a party-line vote Thursday.

 

Democrats notched crucial victories in recent Georgia races, both in 2020 and earlier this year. The state sent two Democratic senators to Washington after a pair of January runoff elections handed Democrats a razor-thin majority in the Senate. In November, President Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia since former President Clinton in 1992.

 

The new Georgia voting law is among dozens of measures being considered by state legislatures across the country after former President Trump lied repeatedly about the 2020 presidential election being stolen through widespread voter fraud, a claim that is not supported by evidence.

 

The lawsuit was filed by voting rights groups New Georgia Project, Black Voters Matter Fund and Rise, Inc., and is backed by Democratic lawyer Marc Elias.

Army Vet Plans to Appeal Ninth Circuit Ruling Against Gun Carry

 

Ruling may motivate Supreme Court to step in

 

The veteran behind the challenge to Hawaii's restrictive open-carry law plans to petition the Supreme Court to hear his case after losing in the Ninth Circuit, his lawyer told the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday.

 

"We're planning on filing for a writ of certiorari," Alan Beck, the lawyer for native-Hawaiian veteran George Young, said. "We're not letting this lie."

 

Young argues Hawaii is effectively banning open carry in the state by refusing to issue any permits to civilians regardless of their background or skill level. A federal judge sided with him in 2018 and struck down the law, but on Wednesday the Ninth Circuit threw out his challenge in a 7-to-4 vote. The court said, in part, the Second Amendment does not extend to the open carry of guns.

 

"There is no right to carry arms openly in public; nor is any such right within the scope of the Second Amendment," the majority said in the ruling.

 

The Ninth Circuit previously ruled concealed gun carry is not protected by the Second Amendment in a case against California's restrictive laws. Beck said the two cases set a clear marker that the Ninth Circuit does not believe the Second Amendment protects any gun-carry right. He said the court's decision was "disappointing" but argued it may actually push the Supreme Court to take up a gun-carry case sooner than it otherwise might have.

 

"The Ninth Circuit just became the first court of appeals to expressly state that the Second Amendment right does not apply to armed self-defense outside the home," Beck told the Free Beacon. "Therefore, it is expressly split with the Seventh Circuit, the D.C. Court of Appeals. That opens up the possibility of Supreme Court review."

 

Gun advocates have been loading up new cases in the federal court system since the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett in October. Experts predicted her "text, history, and tradition" approach to deciding gun cases could revolutionize the way federal courts consider strict gun laws and result in more of them being struck down. The Court, however, has yet to take up a gun case since her confirmation.

 

Jake Charles, executive director of Duke University's Center for Firearms Law, said the new ruling from the Ninth Circuit is likely to spur a Supreme Court review. While he does not believe the Ninth Circuit's ruling is meant to be read as broadly as Beck does, Charles said it provides further contrast among the lower courts on the issue. He pointed to Corlett, a case challenging New York's restrictive concealed-carry law that the court will consider taking up on Friday, as a case the Supreme Court may be more eager to hear after Wednesday's ruling.

 

"I do think that having the public carry issue teed up in Corlett at the same time Young was decided probably does increase the chances that we see a grant in Corlett," Charles said. "Much of it hinges on what kind of case the justices want to take to start establishing some more guidance for lower court cases."

 

Young, who initially brought his case without any assistance from a lawyer, may soon get his day before the Supreme Court. The retiree has said he mainly wants to be able to carry a gun to fend off aggressive wildlife when he goes fishing. His willingness to carry the issue to the Supreme Court is born out of a desire to restore gun rights to Hawaiians but also a personal promise he made to his late daughter when he first began his fight.

 

"It was my last promise to her," Young told the Free Beacon in 2018. "She said, ‘Well, you've got to fight the state,' and I said, ‘Okay, here we go.'"

Doocy confronts Psaki over Fox News getting snubbed at presser, asks if it's 'official administration policy'

 

'The president has been very generous with his time with Fox, I’m just curious about this list that he is given,' Doocy said

 

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday about why he was snubbed during President Biden’s first press conference, noting Fox has "never been" on the list of Biden's pre-approved reporters.

 

Biden appeared to pick reporters from a pre-determined list on Thursday, ultimately calling on 10 reporters. Doocy, who was on hand to represent Fox News, was not called on and noticed a pattern.

 

"We noticed, starting at the end of the campaign and into the transition and here at the White House, anytime that the president has an event where he is given a list of reporters to call on, Fox is the only member of the five-network TV pool that has never been on the list," Doocy said. "I am just curious if that is an official administration policy."

 

Psaki responded she was currently taking a question from Fox News, but Doocy indicated he was specifically talking about the president’s pre-determined list.

 

Doocy said he’s been able to ask Biden questions but only when he shouts after the president "goes through his whole list" of pre-approved reporters.

 

"The president has been very generous with his time with Fox, I’m just curious about this list that he is given," Doocy said. "The only member of the five-network pool that’s never on it."

 

Doocy said Fox has been left off the list since Biden resumed in-person events at the height of the campaign. The other networks that are part of the pool ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN are often called on by Biden.

 

"I’m always happy to have this conversation with you," Psaki said. "The president has taken your questions and I’m looking forward to doing ‘Fox News Sunday’ this Sunday for the third time in the last few months."

 

Psaki never answered why Fox News has been left of the list of pre-approved reporters.

 

"I think we’ve got to move on, because we have limited time," Psaki said.

 

Doocy told "America Reports" on Thursday, shortly after leaving the White House, that he had a "binder-full" of questions for Biden he didn’t have a chance to ask.

 

Doocy peppered Psaki with questions about the filibuster and the situation along the southern border before asking about Biden’s list.

Judge skeptical of Schiff's argument for keeping impeachment phone subpoenas secret

 

"I have not found any case that upholds" constitutional rights of Congress over public's right to know, D.C. appeals judge says.

 

The House Intelligence Committee and its chairman Adam Schiff have not shown legal precedents that justify hiding their subpoenas for a reporter's phone records during the Trump impeachment inquiry, a federal appeals judge said Wednesday.

 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit grilled the committee's lawyer at a hearing on its decision to publish only certain subpoenas on the committee website. Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch is seeking the public release of subpoenas to phone companies that targeted private individuals, including reporter and Just the News founder and CEO John Solomon.

 

Todd Tatelman, principal deputy general counsel for the House of Representatives, argued that the Constitution's "speech or debate clause" shields the committee from being dragged into court to divulge the scope of its subpoenas.

 

"What's your authority for what you just said?" Judge Karen Henderson responded. "I have not found any case that upholds the speech or debate clause immunity with regard to the common law right of access" to public records. Tatelman admitted he didn't know of any.

 

The judge also found it "noteworthy," if not "ironic," that Tatelman justified hiding the subpoenas to protect the privacy of irrelevant individuals whose personal information could be exposed. Judicial Watch's entire case is about the committee claiming an "unlimited" power to invade the privacy of individuals, Henderson said.

 

Judicial Watch is seeking to have the case remanded to trial court to further develop the factual record. Schiff and the committee insist that the Constitution shields them from precisely this sort of litigation to expose their "legislative documents."

 

The impeachment inquiry report discloses that Solomon spoke with Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, "at least six times" in the 48 hours before The Hill published an "opinion piece" by Solomon. The report alleges the piece was part of a "smear campaign" against U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

 

The footnote for this source cites documents produced by AT&T but doesn't name the targets of the subpoenas. It simply identifies the committee as the issuer of the subpoena and the date they were issued — Sept. 30, 2019.

 

What is a "legislative act"?

 

Judicial Watch intends to shed light on "unprecedented and illegitimate congressional subpoenas" that presume to give lawmakers "unlimited government surveillance power," the group's lawyer James Peterson told the three-judge panel at Wednesday's hearing.

 

The public deserves to know why the committee is hiding specific subpoenas to phone companies, which prevented targeted individuals from challenging them in court, he said.

Pollard: Jews ‘will always have dual loyalty’ & should consider spying for Israel

 

“If you’re outside Israel, then you live in a society in which you are basically considered unreliable,” he said.

 

Jonathan Pollard, the convicted spy for Israel whose story haunted the American Jewish community’s relations with the US government for decades, is unrepentant.

“The bottom line on this charge of dual loyalty is, I’m sorry, we’re Jews, and if we’re Jews, we will always have dual loyalty,” Pollard said in an interview published Thursday in Israel Hayom, his first extensive remarks since his release from prison in 2015.

 

Pollard recalled how much of the Jewish leadership did not stand up for him following his 1985 arrest, when he was a civilian analyst for the US Navy who was found to be spying for Israel.

“If you’re outside Israel, then you live in a society in which you are basically considered unreliable,” he said.

The US Jewish leadership eventually softened in its outlook, and some Jewish leaders lobbied for Pollard’s release, saying his life sentence was excessive.

Pollard’s full interview will be published Friday. In an earlier excerpt published by Israel Hayom, he said he knew he “crossed a line” when he relayed the information to Israel, but added that he believed the United States was withholding from Israel intelligence critical to its security.

Pollard’s arrest and eventual conviction complicated ties between US Jews and sectors of the government. Jews seeking entry into or advancement in the national security apparatus were often rebuffed, with Pollard cited as the reason. The Pollard narrative in part drove the espionage charges brought in 2004 against two top staffers for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — a case that fell apart but drastically changed how AIPAC operated.

 

Pollard suggested that Jews were deluding themselves if they thought of America as a home and suggested he would counsel a young US Jew working in the American security apparatus to spy for Israel.

“I’d tell him, not doing anything is unacceptable. So simply going home [to Israel] is not acceptable. Making aliyah is not acceptable,” Pollard said. “You have to make a decision whether your concern for Israel and loyalty to Israel and loyalty to your fellow Jews is more important than your life.”

Pollard was paroled from his life sentence in 2015. The terms of his parole were not renewed last year and he flew to Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeted him at the airport. Sheldon Adelson, the late owner of Israel Hayom, provided a private plane for Pollard to fly to Israel.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared on EWTN to discuss a federal court ordering the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to release additional information about its purchases of organs harvested from aborted human fetuses. The court also found “there is reason to question” whether the transactions violate federal law barring the sale of fetal organs. Documents previously uncovered in this lawsuit show that the federal government demanded the purchased fetal organs be “fresh and never frozen.”

Oakland to Test Universal Basic Income Program – Exclude White Families From Taking Part

 

The city of Oakland, California is launching a pilot universal basic income program for 600 low-income families this summer but is excluding poor White families from taking part.

 

The program is only for “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)” who have “low incomes and at least 1 child under 18, regardless of documentation status,” East County Today reports.

 

“The term ‘family’ is defined broadly to recognize that families come in all shapes and sizes,” ECT noted.

 

From East County Today, “Mayor Schaaf Announces $500 a Month “Guaranteed Income” Pilot for Oakland Resilient Families”:

 

Oakland will host one of the largest guaranteed income pilot projects in the country to give 600 BIPOC families with low-incomes an unconditional $500 per month for at least 18 months.

 

Oakland Resilient Families is a collaboration between the Oakland-based community organization Family Independence Initiative and the national Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. The project will support 600 Oakland families while building momentum for strategies to eliminate racial disparities in economic stability, mobility, and assets through a guaranteed income.

 

“The poverty we all witness today is not a personal failure, it is a systems failure,” said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. “Guaranteed income is one of the most promising tools for systems change, racial equity, and economic mobility we’ve seen in decades. I’m proud to work with such committed local partners to build a new system that can help undo centuries of economic and racial injustice, and point us all toward a more just society.”

 

[…] “One of my hopes in testing out a guaranteed income is that other cities would follow suit, and I’m thrilled that Oakland is among the first. I applaud Mayor Schaaf’s leadership and am looking forward to working with her to move from pilot to policy,” said former Stockton Mayor and Founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, Michael Tubbs. “By focusing on BIPOC residents, the Oakland Resilient Families program will provide critical financial support to those hardest hit by systemic inequities, including the pandemic’s disproportionate toll on communities of color.”

 

“Oakland Resilient Families is 100% funded through philanthropic donations anchored by an investment from Blue Meridian Partners’ Place Matters portfolio,” ECT reports.

 

The Democrats’ recently-passed COVID relief bill also proactively discriminates against Whites by including a $5 billion giveaway exclusively for non-White farmers.

California Approves Ethnic Studies Curriculum That Encourages a 'Countergenocide' Against Whites

 

The California Board of Education has unanimously approved a new ethnic studies school curriculum that has students "chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice" and encourages a "countergenocide" against White Christians.

 

Christopher Rufo exposed the radical curriculum earlier this month before the vote but the Board of Education apparently couldn't care less:

 

Rufo noted that once the curriculum passes "it will install the principles of critical race theory and its related ideologies into the state's 10,000 public schools, serving 6 million children."

Former Melbourne mayor Robert Doyle committed ‘serious misconduct of a sexual nature,’ report concludes

 

Melbourne’s former lord mayor Robert Doyle committed “serious misconduct of a sexual nature” against a woman at a 2016 awards ceremony, according to an investigation by a Victorian Department of Health-appointed QC.

Key points:

 

A report found Robert Doyle touched a woman's inner thigh and lower back

It found the "serious misconduct of a sexual nature" occurred at a 2016 awards dinner

The investigation found Mr Doyle's conduct had caused the woman "serious distress"

 

A summary of the investigation's findings said Mr Doyle's conduct at the 2016 dinner ranged from "sleazy" to "serious misconduct of a sexual nature".

 

The summary found this included touching the woman's inner thigh, close to her groin and her lower back.

 

Charles Scerri QC was appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services to carry out an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations made against the former lord mayor who was also the chairperson of Melbourne Health at the time of the dinner.

 

The summary of Mr Scerri's findings was published on Victoria's Health Department's website late on Friday.

 

The summary said the woman "appeared to be an honest and sincere witness and had no reason to lie about these matters".

 

"Indeed, the whole experience, including Mr Scerri's investigation, has caused her enormous distress," the summary stated.

Doyle's conduct caused 'serious distress'

 

It said Mr Scerri had found that the conduct described by the woman did take place, with a varying degree of seriousness.

 

"Some of the conduct could be described as over-familiar, rude, obnoxious or sleazy. In that category were inappropriate comments that Mr Doyle made about the complainant's appearance," the summary stated.

 

"However, some of the conduct was 'serious misconduct of a sexual nature' within the scope of Mr Scerri's investigation. This included touching the complainant's inner thigh, close to her groin and the complainant's lower back."

 

Mr Scerri also found that the conduct was unwelcome and caused the complainant serious distress.

 

It was noted that Mr Doyle continued to claim that due to his ill health he was unable to respond to the allegations.

 

The summary also reported that there had been extensive correspondence between Mr Scerri's solicitors and Mr Doyle's solicitors since February 2018 "about Mr Doyle's inability for medical reasons to take part in the investigation or to respond to the allegations".

 

"Mr Scerri does not accept that Mr Doyle's solicitors are unable to discuss the allegations with Mr Doyle and obtain any instructions from him," the summary said.

 

"Accordingly, Mr Scerri considers that he is now able to finalise the investigation and make his findings."

 

Mr Doyle did not respond when asked for comment by the ABC on Friday night.
