Michigan School Punishes Unvaccinated Students By Charging Them to Go to Prom, Vaccinated Get in Free

A Michigan High School is punishing unvaccinated students by charging them $80 to go to prom, while vaccinated students can attend for free.

Southfield Regional Academic Campus is claiming they are not breaking the law because they aren’t barring the unvaccinated from attending.

Breitbart News reports that the Superintendent is defending the decision in emails to concerned residents.

Joe Biden holds first phone call with Palestinian President Abbas, also calls Israeli PM Netanyahu following Gaza bombings

A spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has announced US President Joe Biden reached out by phone for the first time to discuss the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The Saturday call between Biden and Abbas is the first between the two since the US president took office in January.

BREAKING: Biden spoke on the phone with Palestinian president Abbas about the situation in Gaza. This was the first phone call between the two leaders since Biden assumed office

Though details about the call are not yet known, the Biden administration has been working to push calm between Palestine and Israel, with the president also contacting Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday. That’s after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bombed a building where international media offices for the Associated Press and Al Jazeera were located.

Biden spoke to Netanyahu about concerns for civilian casualties to which the prime minister said Israel “is doing everything to avoid harming” people not involved in their conflict with Hamas.

A report about the call from Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister assured Biden that the “uninvolved” were evacuated from the Gaza tower before it was destroyed and he thanked the president for his “support.”

Biden stood by Israel earlier this week, saying the US ally has “a right to defend itself” and he hopes the ongoing violence will “be closing down sooner rather than later.”

The Israeli military gave journalists working in the building targeted a warning about the strike beforehand, but denied a request for more time for them to retrieve equipment from their offices. A spokesperson claimed the building also housed “Hamas military intelligence.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted about the phone call with Biden saying the US has “communicated directly to the Israelis that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility.”

We have communicated directly to the Israelis that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility.

Toronto Cancels Entire Summer Of Events Despite 1.6 Million Of City's 3 Million Residents Being Vaccinated

Despite widespread vaccination availability and even the U.S. CDC saying that vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks, Toronto has decided to cancel an entire summer's worth of social functions.

The city has cancelled "all major in-person events for a second straight summer," CBC reported on Friday.

As the city continues to fight off large numbers of Covid cases during the pandemic's third wave (whatever that even means at this point), it has made cancellations all the way through Labour Day. Previously, provincial officials had been hoping for normalcy beginning in July or August.

That doesn't look like it's going to be the case. The city has cancelled events like the Canadian National Exhibition, Taste of the Danforth, the Caribbean Carnival and Salsa in Toronto.

The city is making the decision in May because organizers asked for "as much advanced notification as possible". So now they have it: Toronto will officially have nothing going on during the summer.

Israeli airstrike levels Gaza tower housing AP, Al Jazeera & other international media

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have destroyed a building where offices of international media outlets, including Associated Press and Al Jazeera, were located. People were given a one hour warning before the missile attack.

The building hosting the media offices collapsed following a series of massive explosions apparently caused by the Israeli strikes, footage published by the Ruptly video news agency shows.

When the building owner asked the IDF for some more time to let the journalists retrieve their equipment, the Israeli military denied the request, Linah Alsaafin, an Al Jazeera producer, said in a tweet.

The tower also housed a number of other offices as well as some apartments. An Israeli military spokesman told the media that the tower was targeted because it housed “Hamas military intelligence,” adding that a warning was given before the strike and those inside had “ample time to evacuate.”

Hamas uses “civilian media” as “human shields,” the IDF also said in a statement on Twitter. The Palestinian militant group “deliberately places its military assets in the heart of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip,” the post added.

It is not the first time Israel has targeted the Gaza buildings housing various media outlets. Earlier this week, the IDF also struck two high-rise towers hosting some 20 media outlets, prompting accusations of deliberate attempts to silence the local press. In all cases, the IDF gave a warning prior to the strikes.

The developments come amid an ongoing violent standoff between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza. The conflict was prompted by an Israeli court decision to evict several Palestinian families from an East Jerusalem neighborhood and initially led to massive protests and clashes between the demonstrators and the police followed by a massive rocket attack by the Hamas militant group targeting Israeli cities.

Israeli military intercepted most of the rockets and responded with massive airstrikes targeting Gaza. At least nine Israelis perished in rocket fire, while Gaza health officials reported over 100 killed on their side.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Funded Research That Led to Patents for the Chinese Military

Pei-Yong Shi was trained in the People’s Republic of China and is now a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston.

Since 2007, Pei-Yong Shi has also been an Honorary Professor at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and he has been funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 2004.

Pei-Yong Shi also has extensive research collaboration with scientists from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, as documented in The Gateway Pundit here, here and here.

That research has led to Chinese patents assigned to Pei-Yong Shi and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, in particular, to Cheng Feng Qin.

Pei-Yong Shi, who has been working with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, is part of a 2021 Fauci grant for $926,569.

Chinese patent application number 201810076027.7 dated October 26, 2018 lists the patent holders as the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and Pei-Yong Shi.

As scientific support, that Chinese patent application cites the 2017 article “A live-attenuated Zika virus vaccine candidate induces sterilizing immunity in mouse models,” which was funded by NIAID grant number AI120942.

A second Chinese patent, WO2019144874A1, dated January 23, 2019, also lists the patent holders as the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and Pei-Yong Shi.

The three scientific articles used to support the claims made in the second Chinese patent were funded by NIAID grants AI120942, AI127744, AI073755 and AI104972.

Strangely, the recipient of NIAID grant AI127744, Tian Wang, does not appear as an author on the Chinese military-dominated article that, nevertheless, cites it as a funding source. So, some type of fund shifting may have occurred.

Bomb squad deployed after driver claims explosives in car at main gate of Andrews, airbase hosting Air Force One

The main entrance of Joint Base Andrews, home to the presidential airplane, was blocked for a while after a man drove up and told the guards he had a bomb in his car. The bomb squad found no explosives, but the man was arrested.

Footage from local TV helicopters showed a remote-controlled robot and armored bomb technicians inspecting a tan-colored sedan outside the base entrance on Friday evening.

The base entrance was closed off for several hours, as security and “partner law enforcement officials” worked to address the situation, Zachary Baddorf, a spokesman for the Air Force’s 316th Wing, said in a statement.

An explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot, bomb-sniffing dogs and a human officer dressed in a protective suit checked the vehicle but “did not find anything relevant,” the base said in a statement quoted by the military newspaper Stars and Stripes.

Located about 15 miles (25 km) southeast of Washington, DC, Andrews is a joint Air Force/Navy base, and home to the aircraft used by the US president and other high-ranking government officials.

Earlier this month, a man drove up to the main gate of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia. FBI agents eventually shot that man after a standoff that lasted for several hours. He later died in the hospital. No explosives were found in his car.

CNN Doctor Says She Doesn’t Feel Safe Around Unmasked People In Stores, Tacitly Demands Vaccine Passports

The CNN doctor questioned, "How do we know that people are telling the truth" about their vaccination status.

A medical doctor and professor who writes columns and regularly appears as a guest on CNN slammed the CDC’s decision to let vaccinated people stop wearing masks, and suggested there should be a mechanism in place – like a vaccine passport – to keep those who choose not to take the vaccine from appearing in public.

While Dr. Leana Wen applauded the Biden regime and the CDC for sending the message that “vaccination is your ticket back to pre pandemic life,” she revealed that she was ultimately “shocked by this announcement,” referring to the decree from the CDC that those who have been fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks in most indoor areas. “I think they went from one extreme to another,” said Wen, “The major step that’s missing here is, how do we know that people are telling the truth?”

Wuhan Lab DELETED Fauci’s NIH and Gain of Function Mentions From Old Web Pages in Early 2021.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology scrubbed the U.S. National Institutes of Health as one of its research partners from its website in early 2021. The revelation comes despite Dr. Anthony Fauci insisting no relationship existed between the institutions.

Archived versions of the Wuhan lab’s site also reveal a research update – “Will SARS Come Back?” – appearing to describe gain-of-function research being conducted at the institute by entities funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

On March 21st, 2021, the lab’s website listed six U.S.-based research partners: University of Alabama, University of North Texas, EcoHealth Alliance, Harvard University, The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the United States, and the National Wildlife Federation.

One day later, the page was revised to contain just two research partners – EcoHealth Alliance and the University of Alabama. By March 23rd, EcoHealth Alliance was the sole partner remaining.

EcoHealth Alliance is run by long-standing Chinese Communist Party-partner Dr. Peter Daszak, who National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has repeatedly claimed will be the first “fall guy” of the Wuhan lab debacle.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology’s decision to wipe the NIH from its website came amidst heightened scrutiny that the lab was the source of COVID-19 – and that U.S. taxpayer dollars from the NIH may have funded the research. The unearthing of the lab’s attempted coverup also follows a heated exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Fauci, who attempted to distance his organization from the Wuhan lab.

Beyond establishing a working relationship between the NIH and the Wuhan Institue of Virology, now-deleted posts from the site also detail studies bearing the hallmarks of gain-of-function research conducted with the Wuhan-based lab. Fauci, however, asserted to Senator Paul that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Biden Revokes Six Trump-Era Executive Orders, Including Planned ‘Garden of American Heroes’

President Joe Biden on Friday revoked a series of executive orders issued by former President Donald Trump, including ones targeting social media companies’ moderation policies, protecting Americans from “overcriminalization” by regulations, and seeking to establish a historical monument called the “National Garden of American Heroes.”

Biden’s executive order rescinds six of his predecessor’s presidential actions, while directing the heads of executive departments and agencies to “promptly consider taking steps” to roll back any policies that were implemented by Trump’s orders.

Among Trump’s orders that are to be abolished under Biden’s action is the planned “National Garden of American Heroes,” a project that Trump sought to implement in the waning days of his presidency via a Jan. 18 directive that called on the monument to “be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism.”

“It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America,'” Trump wrote in his executive order, which also made mention of an “attack” on the “belief in the greatness and goodness of America” by a “dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity.”

A major theme underpinning Trump’s order was the spate of incidents last year involving the destruction of monuments.

“The heroes of 1776 have been desecrated, with statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin vandalized and toppled,” Trump wrote in the order, adding, “the brave warriors who saved freedom from Nazi fascism have been disgraced with a memorial to World War II veterans defaced with the hammer and sickle of Soviet communism.”

Twitter Suspends Spanish Politician for Saying ‘A Man Cannot Get Pregnant’ Because No ‘Uterus Or Ovaries’

Francisco José Contreras of Vox was suspended for 12 hours by the Big Tech platform

A Spanish MP was suspended by Twitter for 12 hours, after he responded to a news article and noted that men do not have the biological ability to become pregnant.

Francisco José Contreras, an MP for the populist right wing party Vox, posted a news article to Twitter about a Spanish female-to-male transgender individual who was pregnant and recently gave birth to a daughter, with the article in question claiming that this made this individual a father. Contreras in his tweet said that this was a total lie. “A man cannot get pregnant,” he tweeted. “A man does not have a uterus or ovaries.”

However, not long after he tweeted his statement, Contrera received an email from Twitter, claiming that he had violated their rules on “hate speech,” informing him that they do not allow material that “threatens, harasses or promotes violence” against anybody based on a number of personal characteristics, including gender identity, among others. The email also warned him that repeated “breaches” could lead to permanent suspension of his account.

Contrera posted the text of the email on his Facebook page, where he revealed that he had been also forced to delete the offending tweet. The Spanish MP described the incident as being “biological fascism,” and joked that next time he would get suspended for saying that 2+2+4. Mario Noya, a journalist and convert from being a left-winger, tweeted his support of Contrera. “Twitter SUCKS,” Noya said.

Contreras spoke to LifeSiteNews about the incident, saying that a number of his supporters had created the hashtag #AManCannotBePregnant to rally against Twitter’s censorship. “We will not yield to Twitter imposing a twisted (and anthropologically wrong) worldview,” Contreras said. “We will continue to speak the truth about human nature. Biological truth should not be regarded as ‘hate speech’. It’s biology, not bigotry.”

During the recent Spanish election in January, Vox, who had been previously part of the governing coalition, had their official party account suspended by Twitter, after publishing statistics that North African immigrants were respoinsible for an extremely high rate of crimes in the country. Yet left-wing extremists had been allowed to repeatedly publish threats to attack and kill members of Vox, with Twitter leaving those accounts and tweets up unmolested.

NIH-Funded Researcher Concealing Chinese Communist Party Ties Sentenced To Prison, Millions In Fines.

A researcher receiving National Institutes of Health grants while failing to disclose Chinese Communist Party ties has been sentenced to 37 months in prison and fines worth millions.

Zheng Songguo, a former professor at Ohio State University (OSU), pleaded guilty to lying on his National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications, allowing him to receive $4.1 million in research grants to develop the fields of rheumatology and immunology for China. He was arrested while attempting to flee the U.S. last May.

Zheng was sentenced to 37 months in prison along with paying $3.4 million in restitution to the NIH and about $413,000 to OSU.

“For years the defendant concealed his participation in Chinese government talent recruitment programs, hiding his affiliations with at least five research institutions in China,” Assistant Director Alan E. Kohler Jr. of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division said in a statement.

Jen Psaki: Illegal Aliens Are Part of ‘What the American Dream Represents’

President Joe Biden believes illegal aliens are part “of what the American Dream represents,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.

The comment came when a reporter asked Psaki to explain why Biden had just met with six illegal aliens who are campaigning for national amnesty.

The six illegals were brought to the United States as children by their illegal alien parents without legal or public approval. They are enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s legally uncertain work-permit program, dubbed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The questioner asked, “What message is the president trying to send by having DACA recipients come here? [You] have all these [political] priorities you have to do, [such as] jobs and infrastructure. … Where does immigration rank?”

Psaki responded by declaring, “I think the president believes that DACA recipients are part of the American story and part of the fabric of who we are as a country and kind of what the American Dream represents. So bringing them here is an opportunity to highlight that:

Jen Psaki says DACA illegals are “part of the fabric of who we are” and “what the American dream represents” pic.twitter.com/221LPboRDe

— Jewish Deplorable (@TrumpJew2) May 14, 2021

The establishment of illegal migrants as legitimate participants in Americans’ society would have major political consequences.

For example, it would allow the government to deny American-born children and adults any priority above any illegal migrants. It would allow the government to redistribute Americans’ limited resources and constitutional rights — such as the ballot, political representation, jobs, good housing, cultural priorities, taxpayer-funded resources — towards many millions of foreigners who break multiple law to sneak into the United States.

There are at least 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States and more arriving every day because of Biden’s border policies. More than 100 million foreigners want to move to the United States, according to Gallup.

Psaki continued:

There has historically been agreement about the powerful stories of DACA recipients, of the incredible contributions they have the potential to make in our country, from Democrats and Republicans. He’s certainly bringing them here to highlight that. And as he said in his joint session address, he believes there’s an opportunity to move forward on areas where we agree, so let’s find areas where we agree on immigration reform.

Feds Fly Venezuelan, Cuban Migrants to U.S. Interior from Border

DEL RIO, Texas — A law enforcement source with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), speaking on the condition of anonymity, informed Breitbart Texas more than 130 single adult Venezuelan and Cuban nationals who recently entered the United States will be flown to Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Friday. The flight will depart from Laughlin Air Force Base and likely land at Kirkland AFB.

There are no ICE detention facilities located in Albuquerque, according to the published list of such facilities. To the seasoned anonymous source, this seems odd.

“In my decades of experience with ICE, usually when you load a full plane, the destination is the home country.” He added, “You don’t fly into the interior of the United States, especially when there are places to detain closer to the border.”

The source says he is astonished by the move.

“There is no way ICE intends to detain these aliens through the lengthy asylum process–my intuition is there will be some quick move to release them under the Alternatives to Detention Program, which means they will be released in Albuquerque or some other city in the United States rather than removed to their home country.”

Del Rio has seen a surge in recent illegal crossings by Venezuelan nationals. This border city currently leads the nation in the apprehension of Venezuelans. Prior to the cancellation of the Migrant Protection Protocols by the Biden Administration, Venezuelan nationals were being quickly expelled to Mexico while their asylum claims were weighed.

Israel arrests senior leader of Islamic Movement in Israel

Arrest of vice president of Islamic organisation comes after Israeli intelligence officers texted threats to Palestinians warning them against taking part in protests

Israeli police on Friday arrested Kamal al-Khatib, vice president of the Islamic Movement, after storming his house in the Palestinian town of Kafr Kanna in Galilee, Israel, according to local media.

Meanwhile, a number of Palestinian demonstrators were seriously wounded in Kafr Kanna after Israeli forces attacked them with live ammunition and rubber bullets when they arrived to stage a protest in the vicinity of Sheikh Khatib's house during and after his arrest, according to reports and footage by the local Arab48 website.

Khatib's son told Al Jazeera Arabic that Israeli forces entered the home violently, following a large crackdown on protesters in the area.

The arrest came after Palestinians warned that a number of prominent activists had received messages from Israeli intelligence officers threatening protesters.

"Many people got a text message, including influential protesters, saying that they were recorded as being present at al-Aqsa and they would be held accountable," Khatib's son said.

In recent weeks, Israeli forces have used live ammunition, skunk water and tear gas to disperse protesters in a number of cities in Israeli, resulting in scores of injuries.

Netanyahu promises police impunity

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered militarised border police units to reinforce regular officers on the ground in an attempt to deal with the protests.

"We will reinforce them as necessary in order to maintain law and order in the state of Israel," Netanyahu said.

The Likud leader has also deployed soldiers to cities where the unrest is at its most intense and has warned "rioters" that they will be subject to administrative detention. Such detention is normally used to hold Palestinians in the occupied West Bank for months without charge or trial.

"Our goal is to bring results and to bring them quickly," Netanyahu said, in a speech in which he also told police officers not to fear disciplinary action for their behaviour.

"We are hearing [police officers'] whispers about fears of inquiry committees," he said. "We will give you all the tools. You have the support, don't be afraid."

Israel is deliberately obliterating media buildings in Gaza to cover up the war crimes that will follow

The destruction of two important Gaza buildings housing 20 media outlets was both shocking and predictable. History shows that if the media aren’t around to document Israel’s war crimes, it’s a lot easier for it to commit them.

On Tuesday, Israel bombed the 10-storey Al-Jawhara Tower, causing it to collapse. Before doing so, it had ‘benevolently’ warned that the airstrikes were coming. The following day, it bombed the 14-storey Al-Shorouk Tower, also giving warning it was going to do so.

Most reports have the buildings as evacuated before being levelled. But without these media offices, reporting on Israel’s other war crimes will be left largely to what little media remain and citizen journalists.

The buildings were significant. A statement by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) noted the Al-Jawhara building housed the offices of 13 media institutions and NGOs. And an advisory by the Committee to Protect Journalists noted that the Al-Shorouk building housed at least seven media outlets.

A further statement by the same committee said that the Israeli military had defended its bombing of the building via email, bizarrely claiming it had “acted within international law,” alleging the Al-Jawhara building housed Hamas’ intelligence and military offices, and saying the Al-Shorouk building was a base for Hamas’ military intelligence offices and “infrastructure to communicate tactical-military information.”

Just minutes after the Al-Shorouk building was destroyed, I spoke by phone with Shadi Ali, a producer who had worked there for ten years and was understandably devastated at what had happened. He told me of previous occasions when Israel had bombed the building, in 2009, 2012, and 2014.

“I was there in 2012. My office was on the 14th floor when it was hit at 6am. I was sleeping; I had only slept for one-and-a-half hours when it was hit by two missiles on the top floor,” he told me. “When it was bombed in 2014, we had taken precautions and left it already. They struck the 15th floor, destroying it completely. Our floor became the top floor after that.”
