/1 BREAKING NEWS — the CDC has admitted to America First Legal that they delete employees’ emails 30 days after leaving the agency.
This is a blatant violation of the Federal Records Act. AFL is demanding an immediate investigation from HHS.
Follow along⤵️
/2 President Biden himself has illegally stored federal records at his personal homes and at the University of Delaware.
But President Biden is very clearly not the only official who has problems with proper records management…
/3 In this case, AFL requested records regarding the CDC’s support for teacher-led indoctrination of children with radical gender ideology.
/4 In a routine email regarding the disclosure of these records, AFL was told that the CDC routinely deletes the emails of nearly all of its employees 30 days after they leave the agency.
/5 However, the National Archives and Records Administration’s General Records Schedule requires the CDC to preserve such emails for 7 years, not 30 days.
/6 To hide uncomfortable truths, the Biden Administration has repeatedly ignored federal law. It has done so again here – deleting the emails of former CDC employees 30 days after they leave the agency is a clear violation of the Federal Records Act.

Israel Defense Forces among emergency workers at Surfside building collapse
Israel Defense Force members are among the hundreds of emergency workers responding to the collapse of an oceanside condominium in Surfside, Florida.
“Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett offered Israel’s full support to Florida, and today, at the request of some Surfside families, we welcomed an expert IDF recovery team to supplement Surfside’s search and rescue efforts,” Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted Sunday.
Working to rescue survivors beneath the rubble of a collapsed 12-story structure, the IDF troops join the roughly 370 emergency workers serving amid the largest non-hurricane deployment in state history.

UNREAL: Day after school mass shooting, the Lake Washington School District (Seattle area) has decided to terminate school resource officers.
They would rather continue the war on police than keep your children safe.

Pope Francis hospitalized with respiratory infection
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis was hospitalized with a respiratory infection Wednesday after experiencing difficulty breathing in recent days and will remain in the Rome hospital for several days of treatment, the Vatican said.
The 86-year-old pope, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, doesn’t have COVID-19, spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement late Wednesday.
The hospitalization was the first since Francis spent 10 days at the Gemelli hospital in July 2021 to have 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his colon removed.
It immediately raised questions about Francis’ overall health, and his ability to celebrate the busy Holy Week events that are due to begin this weekend with Palm Sunday.
Bruni said Francis had had trouble breathing in recent days and went to the Gemelli hospital Wednesday for tests.
“The tests showed a respiratory infection (COVID-19 infection excluded) that will require some days of medical treatment in the hospital,” Bruni’s statement said.
Francis appeared in relatively good form during his regularly scheduled general audience earlier Wednesday, though he grimaced strongly while getting in and out of the “popemobile.” He nevertheless rode around the square as usual, kissing babies and greeting the faithful.
Bruni said Francis, an Argentine Jesuit, was grateful for the prayers and messages wishing him a speedy recovery, including from the Italian bishops conference.
President Joe Biden, at the start of an Oval Office meeting with President Alberto Fernández of Argentina, told reporters he had just learned of Francis’s health problems and said he was concerned about his dear “friend.”
Francis had part of one lung removed when he was a young man due to a respiratory infection, and he often speaks in a whisper. But he got through the worst phases of the COVID-19 pandemic without at least any public word of ever testing positive.
Francis was scheduled to celebrate Palm Sunday this weekend, kicking off the Vatican’s Holy Week observances: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and finally Easter Sunday on April 9. He has canceled all audiences through Friday, but it wasn’t clear whether he could keep the Holy Week plans.
Francis has used a wheelchair for over a year due to strained ligaments in his right knee and a small knee fracture. He has said the injury was healing and been walking more with a cane of late.
Francis also has said he resisted having surgery for the knee problems because he didn’t respond well to general anesthesia during the 2021 intestinal surgery.
He said soon after the surgery that he had recovered fully and could eat normally. But in a Jan. 24 interview with The Associated Press, Francis said his diverticulosis, or bulges in the intestinal wall, had “returned.”

GOP lawmakers override veto of transgender bill in Kentucky
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican lawmakers in Kentucky on Wednesday swept aside the Democratic governor’s veto of a bill regulating some of the most personal aspects of life for transgender young people — from banning access to gender-affirming health care to restricting the bathrooms they can use.
The votes to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto were lopsided in both legislative chambers — where the GOP wields supermajorities — and came on the next-to-last day of this year’s legislative session.
As emotions surged, some people protesting the bill from the House gallery were removed and arrested after their chants drowned out the voices of lawmakers. The protesters, their hands bound, chanted “there’s more of us not here” as they waited to be taken away from the Capitol. Kentucky State Police didn’t immediately say how many were arrested or on what charges.
The debate is likely to spill over into this year’s gubernatorial campaign, with Beshear’s veto drawing GOP condemnation as he seeks reelection to a second term. A legal fight also is brewing. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky reaffirmed that it intends to “take this fight to the courts” to try to preserve access to those health care options for young transgender people.
“While we lost the battle in the legislature, our defeat is temporary. We will not lose in court,” said Chris Hartman, executive director of the Fairness Campaign, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization.
In praising the override, David Walls, executive director of The Family Foundation, said the bill puts “policy in alignment with the truth that every child is created as a male or female and deserves to be loved, treated with dignity and accepted for who they really are.”
Activists on both sides of the impassioned debate gathered at the statehouse to make competing appeals before lawmakers took up the transgender bill.
At a rally that drew hundreds of transgender-rights supporters outside Kentucky’s Capitol, trans teenager Sun Pacyga held up a sign summing up a grim review of the Republican legislation. The sign read: “Our blood is on your hands.”
“If it passes, the restricted access to gender-affirming health care, I think trans kids will die because of that,” the 17-year-old student said, expressing a persistent concern among the bill’s critics that the restrictions could lead to an increase in teen suicides.

Trump turning to video messages to bypass traditional media
NEW YORK (AP) — As Donald Trump rails against a possible indictment in New York, his team is leaning into a strategy that has quietly become a become a cornerstone of his 2024 presidential campaign: releasing made-for-social media videos reacting to the news and outlining his agenda for a possible second term.
The videos feature the former president speaking directly to camera on topics ranging from Ukraine and “saving” the suburbs to dismantling the “deep state, ” and they are often laced with his familiar dark rhetoric and conspiracies. But his team sees them as a tool to bypass the traditional news media and speak directly to supporters, and as part of a broader effort to steer Trump toward policy instead of his own grievances and obsessions with the past.
“It certainly lays down a marker for President Trump and the campaign on very specific policy prescriptions. No campaign has done it thus far and it sort of harkens back to 2016 where President Trump was pushing out policies left and right,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said. “We want to put a focus on policy and do it differently from a run-of-the mill campaign.”
That effort has continued even as Trump’s campaign has struggled with the prospect that he could become the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. The campaign strategy offers insight into how his team might press forward if he does end up on trial in New York or faces indictment in other ongoing state and federal investigations.
