Missouri AG Files Lawsuits Against 36 School Districts ‘Unlawfully’ Enforcing Mask Mandates

Missouri’s Attorney General filed lawsuits against 36 school districts that he claims are “unlawfully” enforcing mask mandates on faculty, staff and students, according to litigation obtained by the Daily Caller.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt argued in litigation filed on Jan. 21 that individual school districts “do not have the authority to impose” public health orders on students. School districts “only have the power to issue those health rules that the General Assembly provides them,” according to the AG’s lawsuit against the districts.

“The General Assembly did not give school districts that authority to condition in-person attendance on compliance with an arbitrary mask mandate,” Schmitt said.

On Nov. 24, a Cole County Circuit Court judge ruled that mask mandates violate Missouri’s Constitution and its separation of powers clause, according to FOX 4. Schmitt began pressing school districts to remove mask mandates after the ruling, though he was met with pushback from district officials.

Before Dems made Oleg Deripaska a boogeyman, Hunter Biden plotted to make money off Russian

Joe Biden's son pitched an $80,000 business deal to Alcoa to research the Russian oligarch just weeks after his father gave a speech in Russia mentioning the U.S. firm, emails state.

In March 2011, then-Vice President Joe Biden gave a much-ballyhooed speech at Moscow State University arguing the Obama-Biden reboot of U.S.-Russia relations had achieved great success, even singling out as an example the U.S. aluminum giant Alcoa for its new business ties inside Vladimir Putin's country.

"The reset is working," Biden crowed. "Working for all of us. Working for Russia. And I would presumptuously suggest working for the world."

That reset didn't last long. Putin's forces would invade the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014 in an act of aggression that haunts Biden to this day. This week, now-President Biden was forced to clarify remarks after he created an international outcry by suggesting Russia might get away with a new "minor incursion" into Ukraine.

But at the time in 2011, Biden's speech was deemed a big moment, enough so that a copy of the text was emailed by an Obama Department of Energy official to the vice president's globe-trotting son Hunter Biden, then-cochairman of the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm.

"FYI, note CEO of Alcoa at VP event in Russia today," fellow Rosemont Seneca official Eric Schwerin emailed Hunter Biden as the vice president's trip to Moscow was unfolding, according to emails turned over to the FBI two years ago from a laptop once owned by the younger Biden.

It turns out Hunter Biden and his team had a keen interest in the company Vice President Biden singled out in his speech, and specifically Alcoa's business expansion inside Russia.

Within a few short months, Hunter Biden personally emailed a proposal to Alcoa executives to charge them as much as $80,000 for an intelligence and risk analysis report on one of the U.S. company's new Russian partners, oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who ran the Russian aluminum giant RUSAL.

"Please see the attached proposal per our last conversation," Hunter Biden wrote the Alcoa executive on June 3, 2011. "Since we weren't able to get into it in depth in our meeting, we tried to provide a little better sense of the product by attaching some of the raw data that is produced through the elite mapping procedure.

"Take a look at the attached and let's discuss after you have had a time to look it over. I am happy to get some of the other folks on the phone with you if you want us to further explain some of the attachments."

Former Yankees pitcher Sergio Mitre, 41, is jailed for up to 50 years in Mexico for raping and murdering toddler daughter of his ex-girlfriend, 19

A Mexico court sentenced former MLB pitcher Sergio Mitre to 50 years in jail for the July 7, 2020 murder of Ines, his then girlfriend's one-year-old daughter

Prosecutors say Mitre had argued with Liliana Ines, the girl's 19 year-old mother, at his home in Saltillo, Coahuila, on July 6, 2020

Mitre punched the little girl in the lower back, causing her to vomit and faint

Liliana Ines took Ines to the Saltillo Children's Hospital the day after the attack, but doctors where unable to save her life

An autopsy showed she'd suffered a sex attack, and died of a condition called hypovolemic shock that caused her renal artery to bleed out

Former MLB pitcher Sergio Mitre was sentenced on Thursday to 50 years in prison by a Mexican court after he raped and murdered his 19 year-old girlfriend's toddler daughter.

A court in the northeastern state of Coahuila found Mitre guilty Wednesday for the July 12, 2020 femicide of the 22 month-old child, who is only identified as Ines by authorities. He was also ordered to pay $66,429 in restitution damages.

An autopsy previously presented by the Coahuila State Office of the Attorney General showed that Ines' had been sexually assaulted, and that her death was the result of hypovolemic shock that caused her renal artery to bleed out.

According to prosecutors, Mitre, who was born in LA, assaulted the daughter of his then 19-year-old girlfriend, Liliana Ines, at his home in the Coahuila municipality of Saltillo the day before the child tragically passed away.

The beating and sex attack on Ines was allegedly sparked by Mitre's unwillingness support Liliana Ines wishes to proceed with her pregnancy. Liliana Ines told the court during the trial that the former major leaguer 'wanted to force me to abort when I was four months pregnant.' It's unknown if she carried the child she was pregnant with to full-term.

Prosecutors say Mitre proceeded to punch a defenseless Ines in her lower back on July 11 after an argument between him and the toddler's mother.

New Harvard Data (accidentally) reveal how lockdowns crushed the working class while leaving elites unscathed

Founding father and the second president of the United States John Adams once said that “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” What he meant was that objective, raw numbers don’t lie — and this remains true hundreds of years later.

We just got yet another example. A new data analysis from Harvard University, Brown University, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation calculates how different employment levels have been impacted during the pandemic to date. The findings reveal that government lockdown orders devastated workers at the bottom of the financial food chain but left the upper-tier actually better off.

The analysis examined employment levels in January 2020, before the coronavirus spread widely and before lockdown orders and other restrictions on the economy were implemented. It compared them to employment figures from March 31, 2021.

Employment for lower-wage workers, defined as earning less than $27,000 annually, declined by a whopping 23.6 percent over the time period. Employment for middle-wage workers, defined as earning from $27,000 to $60,000, declined by a modest 4.5 percent. However, employment for high-wage workers, defined as earning more than $60,000, actually increased 2.4 percent over the measured time period despite the country’s economic turmoil.

The data are damning. They offer yet another reminder that government lockdowns hurt most those who could least afford it.

Some critics argue that the pandemic, not government lockdowns, are the true source of this economic duress. While there’s no doubt the virus itself played some role, government lockdowns were undoubtedly the single biggest factor. It’s pretty intuitive that ordering people not to patronize businesses and criminalizing peoples’ livelihoods would hurt the economy. This intuition is confirmed by data and studies showing as much. And don’t forget the fact that heavy lockdown states have consistently had much higher unemployment rates than states that took a more laissez-faire approach.
