JUST IN: Alec Baldwin Accidentally Shoots and Kills Crew Member on Movie Set

Alec Baldwin on Thursday accidentally shot and killed a crew member on a movie set while filming the western “Rust” in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

According to Deadline, Baldwin discharged a prop gun that killed one member and injured another.

The fatal shooting is currently under criminal investigation.

Deadline reported:

The Sante Fe, New Mexico Sheriff’s Department has confirmed that Alec Baldwin “discharged” the prop gun that killed one Rust crew member and injured director Joel Souza.

Director of Photography Halyna Hutchins died not long after being transported to a hospital in Albuquerque, NM this afternoon.

Deadline earlier reported that Criminal Investigators were called to the scene with sources informing us that a principal castmember cocked a gun, hitting a man, 42 and woman, 42, on set. The entire Bonanza Creek Ranch went under lockdown during the investigation. The castmember we’re told was unaware about the type of ammunition in the gun. A rep from the production said that “Production has been halted for the time being” on Rust and that “the safety of our cast and crew remains our top priority.”

Traditionally the prop master or armorer is responsible for fire arms and fire arms safety on a set such as Rust.

Full statement from the Santa Fe Sheriff’s department:

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Bonanza Creek Ranch movie set of the western “Rust”, October 21, 2021, when an 911 caller reported a shooting on the set.

The sheriff’s office confirms that two individuals were shot on the set of Rust. Halyna Hutchins, 42, director of photography and Joel Souza, 48, director, were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor.

Ms. Hutchins was transported, via helicopter, to University of New Mexico Hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel. Mr. Souza was transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical center where he is undergoing treatment for his injuries.

This investigation remains open and active. No charges have been filed in regard to this incident. Witnesses continue to be interviewed by detectives.

Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. It was a disaster

I watched some of it, this guy saysUmm, Ahhmore than any word in his testimony kek

Garland mumbled through his testimony and at several points looked as lost as his boss Joe Biden.

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) grilled Garland on his family’s financial ties to critical race theory studies. Garland did not have an answer. It was embarrassing.

Rep. Johnson said Garland was one for the worst witnesses to ever testify before Congress.

Rep. Mike Johnson: “You know, we were surprised. I think many people who watched this hearing today thought that he was one of the worst witnesses who has ever appeared before the committee…I practiced law for 20 years and I would say he ranks up there with some of the worst. He seemed unprepared. He was evasive. He dodged question after question and he used simple talking points that apparently were prepared for him by someone else. It was very unimpressive. And the idea that he would be the top pick of the Democrats to be on the Supreme Court makes us all wonder what was going on there.

Exactly, Mitch did us one solid by denying him to the SC! Only one solid though.

“We Don’t Need Congress” Biden Regime Plans to Ram Through Radical Climate Change Agenda By Circumventing Democratic Process If Plans Are Not Included in $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill (VIDEO)

During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Biden’s Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the administration’s radical “climate-change” agenda that has stalled out in Congress because of pushback by legislators on both sides of the political aisle.

Democrats are attempting to include the climate change plans in Biden’s massive $3.5 trillion (more like $5.5 Trillion according to some economists) “build back better” spending plan. As of now, it looks like the climate change agenda will most likely not be included in Congress’ final version of the package.

Apparently, that’s no problem at all for the authoritarian tyrants in the Biden regime. When Jean-Pierre was questioned specifically about the measure not being included in the final draft that makes it through the House, she clarified that this dictatorship doesn’t play by the rules anyway.

“We don’t need Congress. We can do it without Congress, as I just laid out. Oh the saying, “I have a pen and phone trick of Obama!”

No surprise, Biden is still running Obama’s playbook.

The reporter who opened the line of questioning on Jean-Pierre asked “It’s looking more and more like the clean energy performance program might not make it in the final version of the reconciliation package that was a really big part of how the President planned to meet his own emission goals. So what message does that send to other countries?”

The Deputy Press secretary responded by listing out several programs that Biden believes he can ram through if the elected representatives of the people decide against the crippling climate change measures, explaining that America’s fraudulent, feeble-dictator “will advance his climate agenda using every tool at his disposal.” (except the democratic ones of course)

Some of the ridiculous policy changes that she claims can be passed without congressional approval include: “curbing emissions, growing our economy, and good-paying union jobs,” leading the shift towards electric vehicles, bringing together automakers and autoworkers, phasing out super pollutants to reduce emissions, clean energy like offshore wind and solar, and “making historic commitments to use every lever at his disposal to advance environmental justice and spur economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities and extreme weather events.”

In other words, meaningless platitudes and progressive equity psychobabble. As benign as that seems, the policies come with a hefty price tag for US taxpayers, in addition to systematic changes that will have ramifications on almost every citizen.

I read some tweets of adam Housley months back where people were asking “how cone good Ef bee i, are not whistleblowers and reporting on the corrupt leaders.

He responded saying “i know a lot of good ones, that are whistleblowers, but no one will touch their cases, even House snd Senate members will not meet with them. Everyone is afraid of going up agsinst the FBI. He said he knows a lot of good ones.

I can understand why they are all afraid, congrssman were saying last year of getting serious death threats and Ef bee i wouldn’t investigate.

Department of Justice Requesting Data From Governors of States that Issued COVID-19 Orders that May Have Resulted in Deaths of Elderly Nursing Home Residents

Data will help inform whether the Department of Justice will initiate investigations under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) regarding New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan’s response to COVID-19 in public nursing homes

Today the Justice Department requested COVID-19 data from the governors of states that issued orders which may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan required nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients to their vulnerable populations, often without adequate testing.

For example, on March 25, 2020, New York ordered: “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to [a nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. [Nursing homes] are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control, New York has the highest number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States, with 32,592 victims, many of them elderly. New York’s death rate by population is the second highest in the country with 1,680 deaths per million people. New Jersey’s death rate by population is 1,733 deaths per million people – the highest in the nation. In contrast, Texas’s death rate by population is 380 deaths per million people; and Texas has just over 11,000 deaths, though its population is 50 percent larger than New York and has many more recorded cases of COVID-19 – 577,537 cases in Texas versus 430,885 cases in New York. Florida’s COVID-19 death rate is 480 deaths per million; with total deaths of 10,325 and a population slightly larger than New York.. As announced on April 10, 2020, the department is also investigating the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where COVID-19 has taken the lives of at least 76 residents. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-investigation-conditions-nursing-home-veterans-massachusetts-announced

Utah nursing homes keep having coronavirus outbreaks. Industry groups warn it will get worse.

Heather Smith’s mother was at a nursing home in New York. The family decided to move her to a facility near relatives in Salt Lake City to give her better care.

It looked like a great decision when New York emerged as a coronavirus hot spot. Smith’s mother is 75, has dementia and the daughter didn’t want the virus infecting her mom.

“I knew we were screwed if it did,” Smith said. “And now we’re screwed. And I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to save her.”

Smith’s mother has tested positive — though she has not shown any symptoms — along with other residents and staff of her care center as COVID-19 continues to spread through Utah’s long-term care facilities despite efforts to keep it out.

Nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, homes for the disabled, assisted living communities and similar types of facilities banned visitors when the pandemic struck in March. They closed common areas, ended group dining and took other precautions. Still, 34 such centers now are on the Utah Department of Health’s list of long-term care facilities in the midst of an outbreak.

There were nine facilities on the list in mid-May and 27 on Friday.

Two industry groups warned Tuesday that the crisis will grow worse without more and faster coronavirus testing and ensuring that care facilities have adequate supplies of personal protective equipment.

In a joint letter to governors, the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living pointed to data indicating infections at nursing homes are most likely in places — such as Utah — with high rates of community outbreak.

These outbreaks are delaying long-term care facilities opening to visitors, the letter stated, and preventing residents from seeing their families.

Who Sent COVID-19 Positive Patients Into Nursing Homes?

Michael Barone | May 15, 2020 12:01

On a multicountry trip to South America, President Ronald Reagan said "Every country is different." So, it seems, is every virus capable of spreading into pandemic.

The influenza pandemic of 1918-19, for example, tended to kill otherwise healthy people in the prime of life, ages 20 to 40. COVID-19 tends to kill people age 70 and above, especially those with comorbidities.

Yet, despite that being apparent early on, America's governors have done a poor job of protecting those most at risk – residents of nursing homes with physical frailties and, often, cognitive impairment.

The result: One-third of reported coronavirus deaths in the United States, according to New York Times reporting, are of nursing home residents or workers. Nursing homes accounted for a majority of deaths in heavily hit states like New Jersey (52%), Massachusetts (59%), Pennsylvania (66%) and Connecticut (55%), and for 80% of the deaths in otherwise lightly hit Minnesota.

That percentage is much lower (20%) in America's COVID-19 epicenter, New York, but it still leads the nation with 5,403 nursing home deaths – about one of every 14 COVID-19 death in the country.

Why so many? On March 25, the state health commissioner ordered that nursing homes to accept patients with the virus. It's unclear why he made this fatal decision. Maybe he wanted to keep hospital beds available, or maybe he feared that sick people would be dumped onto the street.

When asked about this policy in late April, Governor Andrew Cuomo professed ignorance. Two weeks later, on May 9, after 46 days in effect, he reversed it.

New York wasn't the only state that insisted on placing infected patients in nursing homes. New Jersey's policy was similar, explicitly barring homes from requiring testing before admitting patients. California had the same policy but dropped it after 10 days.

Other states, recognizing the dangers of infecting the vulnerable, required or encouraged nursing homes to set up separate units or staffs to handle patients testing positive.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, widely criticized in the national media for avoiding a total lockdown, zeroed in on nursing homes, encouraging repeated testing and temperature-taking of residents and staff and isolating anyone testing positive. Florida, a state with 2 million more people than New York, had just 714 nursing home deaths, 13% of the number in New York.

It's hard to disagree with the verdict of National Review's Jim Geraghty: "These decisions are so spectacularly wrongheaded, so epically foolish, that those responsible deserve to be remembered forever."

Let's hesitate a moment before piling on. Remember that, in March, epidemiologists and governors were worried that hospital facilities would be overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients in need of ventilators, which had been previously used to treat patients with severe respiratory function reduced by other viruses. So they were focused on getting recovering patients out of those supposedly needed hospital beds.

The nursing home mandates from the Cuomo administration and others were obviously mistakes, with fatal consequences. So was the Centers for Disease Control's failure to produce virus tests, and so was Donald Trump's failure to cut off air traffic from Europe, as he had in January from China. And given the negative public health effects of economic collapse, these continued lockdowns may also be seen as fatal mistakes.

Government officials' decisions about a novel virus will often turn out to be mistakes that cost lives. But decisions to send viral patients into nursing homes comes the closest to justifying screams of, "There's blood on your hands!"

Fortunately, societies can learn from mistakes. We have learned that the virus is not easily spread in open spaces. We have learned that the risk of fatalities among children and adolescents is near zero, perhaps less than that of seasonal flu.
