Arizona Attorney General Opens Investigation Into County Noncompliance With LEGAL AND ENFORCEABLE SUBPOENAS

Attorney General Mark Brnovich has opened an investigation into Maricopa County’s failure to comply with valid and enforceable legislative subpoenas as requested by Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli.

Senator Borrelli made the request last week after Maricopa County officials defied a Senate subpoena.

The Attorney General will conduct an investigation and prepare a report that must be completed within 30 days.

If a violation is found, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will have 30 days to resolve it. If they fail, “the Attorney General will notify the State Treasurer, who shall withhold and redistribute from Maricopa County state shared monies”.

The law was clearly violated and Brnovich needs to decide if he is going to fight for the voters or let these criminals go.

The Attorney General’s Office requested a written response from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 20, 2021.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers shared this news on Twitter.

FACT CHECK: NYTimes Promotes Doctor Child Abuse: Propaganda Over Reality

Perri Klass gives “advice” on how to find an LGBT friendly doctor

NYT continues to push radical medical measures on children

Ignoring facts and scientific evidence, Perri Klass pushes an ideology rather than a serious attempt to address a complicated issue

OUR RATING: Journalistic Malpractice. Even Salon.com is ashamed.

Indicted Outlet: Perri Klass M.D. | NYT | Link | Archive | 7/14/21

In another piece of propaganda from the NYT, social, moral, and factual consequences are ignored in favor of affirming any and all sexual desires a developing youth has. Rather than present the factual reality — that these methods are experimental and lack scientific evidence — Perri Klass acts as though the science is all in favor of pushing sexual identities on children on the basis of passing feelings or desires.

Major Violations:

Opinion as Fact

No evidence to support

Superficial Investigation

Pushing Psychological Abuse

Klass opens with advice to parents and children to think of the primary care visit as “a place to talk about every aspect of the child’s changing body and mind.”

This has never been the traditional role of the pediatrician, but Klass assumes the role of moral, religious and physical guide in the formation of children.

Klass’s first error is to deceive readers into thinking that LGBTQ friendly doctors are only ‘affirming’ the child’s identity. This is why her first warning is to “be wary of comments that gender kids unnecessarily — are they giving a boy a He-Man sticker or letting him choose?”

And yet, the evidence suggests that should pediatricians act as Klass advises, they would only confuse and seriously harm minors by locking them into a certain sexual orientation that would have passed as quickly as it came. Klass writes:

“When she’s talking to patients in the general pediatric clinic, Dr. Hassouri said, she starts by asking, “Do you feel comfortable in your body, how do you identify, what are the gender or genders of the people you are attracted to, rather than ‘Are you gay, straight or bisexual?’”

To Klass, these questions are only meant to help the child in questioning their gender identity. Questions and doubts only mean kids should be counseled into choosing a gender other than their biological reality. A child may have natural questions, their hormones and natural development may cause anxiety and doubts, but to extremists like Klass, that’s an opening and an opportunity to push this radical biological/political extremism.

According to witnesses, the children present were also hit with projectiles and pepper-spray.

Portland Police confirmed they made no arrests today and “had no interaction with either group.”

160 San Francisco Sheriffs' Deputies Threaten To Resign Due To Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine

A number of San Francisco deputies will seek employment elsewhere or opt for early retirement if they are required to take the COVID-19 vaccine under a new imposed vaccine mandate, warned the city’s sheriff’s union on Friday.

San Francisco officials recently announced that all city employees will have to be vaccinated or face possible termination.

There are about 35,000 city employees. Religious exemptions or medical reasons may let some bypass the mandate, but those who refuse the shot and have no exemption will encounter consequences that could result in termination, reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association published a statement on Facebook, saying they always supported safety measures against the virus but the issue at hand is that about 160 of their Sheriffs don’t want to take the vaccine due to their beliefs.

“The problem we are faced with now is the strict San Francisco Mandate which is vaccinate or be terminated. If deputy sheriffs are forced to vaccinate a percentage of them will retire early or seek employment elsewhere,” reads the statement.

The Sheriff’s Association notes that 160 of their 700 deputies are unwilling to take the vaccine, and that they can’t afford to lose them since they already have the lowest-ever staffing due to applicant testing restrictions imposed by the mayor.

“The majority of Deputy Sheriffs are vaccinated. Approximately 160 out 700 Deputy Sheriffs are not vaccinated [and] prefer to mask and test weekly instead of being vaccinated due to religious and other beliefs. Currently, the staffing at the SFSO is at the lowest it has ever been due to the past 9-month applicant testing restriction placed on the Sheriff’s Office by the May.”

The Epoch Times reached out to the San Francisco mayor for comment.

“It’s really a decision for the health and safety of our employees and our public that we serve,” the city’s director of human resources, Carol Isen, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco and six other counties in the Bay area have reinstated a mask mandate for all indoor public activities due to the appearance of the Delta variant.

The mask mandate is to be obeyed by everyone, including vaccinated people, reported the Associated Press.

“It is unfortunate we have to do this at this point in the pandemic. None of us wanted to be here,” Dr. George Han, deputy health officer for Santa Clara County said, “but the virus has changed.”

New Identity Authentication Requirement For Unemployment Spreads Across The Country

Pennsylvania now requires individuals filing for unemployment compensation to prove their identity before receiving payments.

In an effort to prevent fraudulent claims which have plagued the online unemployment system, Pennsylvania has hired ID.me, a McLean, Virginia-based company, to authenticate users.

Since 2020, some 27 states have hired ID.me for unemployment verification, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

“We are also now under contract with an additional two states. ID.me Spokesman Nicholas Michael told The Epoch Times.

“Our federal partners include the Department of Veterans Affairs and Social Security Administration.”

Unemployment applicants in these states must submit to a new, more invasive level of vetting to receive payments.

ID.me’s online authentication process begins with a request for permission to use details from the user’s credit profile and other public sources. Soon after that, the system requires users to consent to ID.me collecting their Social Security number and biometric data. The user cannot continue the process or receive unemployment without consenting.

The fine print explains ID.me may collect facial biometrics and voiceprints.

Users upload an image of a driver’s license or passport, and a current “selfie” image taken with their smartphone. In some cases, a video selfie is used.

“We use these images to create a facial geometry or faceprint which we use for purposes of identity verification and to prevent the fraudulent creation of multiple accounts in a fraudulent manner,” the agreement explains.

Users may also be required to call ID.me and leave a voice recording that is used to create a voiceprint. “We use this voiceprint for identity verification and to prevent the creation of multiple ID.me accounts in a fraudulent manner,” the agreement explains.

Ben Shapiro: United States may look 'a lot more like the EU' in years ahead

Says federalism will allow the country to "move on to bigger and better things."

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro this week argued that the United States may progress past its current political turmoil to "bigger and better things," and that the country may end up resembling the European Union if it succeeds in doing so.

Shapiro, speaking to John Solomon on the John Solomon Reports podcast, argued that the country is in the grip of an "authoritarian moment that is being captured by certain institutions and used by certain institutions."

One method of countering such a rise, Shapiro argued, is "through competition, that you just launch alternative institutions," something he said conservatives have done well in recent years. But "that becomes a lot more difficult when you're talking about giant institutions like social media that are incredibly dominant in the space."

Still, Shapiro said, he is "optimistic that there will be blowback to the current moment, which is a really ugly moment."

"I'm pessimistic that in the absence of any sort of real shared values that the United States can survive as it heretofore has," he said. "I think that if the United States does move on to bigger and better things, that's going to be largely through the the federalism process. You're gonna start to see states basically say you leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone.

"And the United States will look a lot more like the [European Union] going forward 20, 30 years from now than it has looked like the United States circa 1980."

Asked by Solomon if he considered that outlook "the best case scenario for conservatives," Shapiro agreed.

"I think it's hard to see the United States fundamentally reorienting towards some of the fundamental principles we all used to share," he said.
