Child from Big Rivers region in Northern Territory dies after contracting mosquito-borne disease Murray Valley encephalitis

Health authorities are again urging residents to remain vigilant of their surroundings, following the second death of a child this year related to the disease amid rising case numbers.

A child has become the second person to die this year after contracting mosquito-borne disease Murray Valley encephalitis.

The Northern Territory Health Department confirmed the death on Thursday, revealing the infant from the Big Rivers Region died in early May.

This is the second child to lose their life to the rare disease in just over two months, following the death of a Western Australia youngster in April.

It is the third death in the country, after a woman from Victoria died when she contracted MVE in either the Buloke Shire or Swan Hill.

The child's death means there have been four case of the disease reported in the NT, two from Big Rivers in young infants, one in the Barkly region and the other in the Top End.

In the past two decades there have been six deaths confirmed to authorities from MVE, as cases doubled compared to the previous five years.

A veterinary lab has conducted mosquito testing in the territory and confirmed the virus was present in mosquitoes in the Top End, Central Australia and Barkly regions.

MVE is uncommon but it can be fatal when bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus.

It is especially dangerous in children and the elderly.

Some of the symptoms include headaches, high fever, tremors, seizures, and in worst cases can lead to a coma or permanent brain damage or death.

Health authorities have issued a public health alert warning residents to be extra vigilant following heavy rain and floods or waterways where mosquitoes can breed.

The insects are most active during the night and early in the morning, with the high risk months between February and end of June.

Those in regional communities, visiting parks and recreational areas have also been told to remain cautious.

MVE is not the only virus circulating, the Japanese encephalitis is another potential fatal disease if a person is bitten.

World Health Organization declares end to mpox public health emergency

Mpox is no longer a global health emergency, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), ending a near year-long alert for the viral disease that led to confirmed cases in more than one hundred countries.

Key points:

Mpox was declared a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022

The declaration is designed to trigger a coordinated international response

More than 87,000 mpox cases have been confirmed since the start of 2022

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared mpox, also known as monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022 and backed its stand in November and February.

Tedros said the novel way mpox was infecting people, via sexual contact in many countries that had never before identified cases, raised numerous concerns that warranted more attention. It was the biggest-ever outbreak of mpox.

Dr Tedros declared the end of the emergency status for the disease based on the recommendation of the organization's emergency committee, which met on Wednesday.

"We now see steady progress in controlling the outbreak based on the lessons of HIV and working closely with the most affected communities," Tedros said.

"I’m pleased to declare that the mpox is no longer a global health emergency."

The move signals that the crisis due to mpox, which spreads through direct contact with body fluids and causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled skin lesions, has come under control.

Almost 90 per cent fewer mpox cases were reported in the past three months, compared with cases in the same duration before that, the WHO chief said.

Mpox has been established in parts of central and west Africa for decades, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents. But the disease wasn't known to spark big outbreaks beyond the continent or to spread easily among people until last May, when dozens of epidemics emerged in Europe, North America and elsewhere.

Mpox most often causes symptoms including a rash, fever, headache, muscle pain and swollen lymph nodes. The skin lesions can last up to a month and the disease is spread via close physical contact with an infected patient or their clothing or bedsheets. Most people don't need medical treatment to recover.

More than 87,000 mpox cases have been confirmed globally from the beginning of 2022 through May 8 this year, according to the WHO's latest report.

The WHO recently also declared an end of public health emergency status for COVID-19.

"While the emergencies of mpox and COVID-19 are both over, the threat of resurgent waves remains for both. Both viruses continue to circulate and both continue to kill," Tedros said.

The WHO tag is meant to trigger a coordinated international response and unlock funding for collaboration on sharing of vaccines and treatments.

Judge Elizabeth Scherer, From Parkland School Shooting Case, Abruptly Resigns

FLORIDA – On Wednesday, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer of Florida, who gained national recognition during the Parkland school massacre trial, announced her resignation from her post.

Her resignation will take effect on June 30 as she seeks other new “career opportunities,” which she did not specify.

“It has been a a privilege to serve the people of the State of Florida for over 10 years,” Scherer wrote in a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis.

Judge Scherer became a well-known figure after overseeing the televised penalty trial of Nikolas Cruz, who received a life sentence last year after a divided jury was unable to agree on the death penalty for the 2018 mass killing of 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Scherer was appointed to the bench in 2012 and was assigned to Cruz’s case shortly after the shooting.

Anti vaxxers kicked out of chemist after trying to deliver cease and desist letter

Chemists have been targeted by anti vaxxers on a late-night mission to deliver cease and desist letters.

Unsuspecting workers at chemists have been paid a visit by a shameless group of “cooked pals” issuing a three-page cease and desist letter for administering Covid-19 vaccines.

At least three late-night pharmacies in Canberra were targeted on Wednesday evening, including in Charnwood, O’Connor and Civic, with security at one having to escort them out.

A copy of the lengthy document, with a giant headline that read, “WARNING”, has since been shared online where it has been ruthlessly mocked.

“To all medical practitioners, doctors, nurses and any person administering the Covid-19 vaccine. This is a formal warning of your legal duty to clearly inform any person before receiving any Covid-19 vaccinations of the following,” the document read.

It went on to list a series of popular phrases used among anti vaxxers, like it being “experimental” and that “scientists do not know the long-term side effects”.

According to Capital Chemist group business manager Andrew Topp, the three individuals arrived at Capital Chemist O’Connor at about 10pm and lingered for about an hour.

He told news.com.au the store’s security guard eventually stepped in and escorted them out.

“They had started providing their notice, they accused her [the staff member], to paraphrase, of killing people … after a while it became obvious that it wasn’t going to go anywhere so the security guard said, ‘it’s time to leave’,” Mr Topp said.

Biden Is Selling Weapons to the Majority of the World’s Autocracies

Despite the White House’s rhetoric about supporting global democracy, the U.S. sold weapons in 2022 to 57 percent of the world’s authoritarian regimes.

Since President Joe Biden came into office in 2021, he has described a “battle between democracies and autocracies” in which the U.S. and other democracies strive to create a peaceful world. The reality, however, is that the Biden administration has helped increase the military power of a large number of authoritarian countries. According to an Intercept review of recently released government data, the U.S. sold weapons to at least 57 percent of the world’s autocratic countries in 2022.

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the world’s biggest weapons dealer, accounting for about 40 percent of all arms exports in a given year. In general, these exports are funded through grants or sales. There are two pathways for the latter category: foreign military sales and direct commercial sales.

The U.S. government acts as an intermediary for FMS acquisitions: It buys the materiel from a company first and then delivers the goods to the foreign recipient. DCS acquisitions are more straightforward: They’re the result of an agreement between a U.S. company and a foreign government. Both categories of sales require the government’s approval.

Country-level data for last year’s DCS authorizations was released in late April through the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. FMS figures for fiscal year 2022 were released earlier this year through the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency. According to their data, a total of 142 countries and territories bought weapons from the U.S. in 2022, for a total of $85 billion in bilateral sales.

How many of those countries were democracies, and how many were autocracies? That question can be answered by comparing the new U.S. arms sales data to political regime data from the Varieties of Democracy project at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, which uses a classification system that’s called Regimes of the World.

The system classifies regimes into four categories: closed autocracy, electoral autocracy, electoral democracy, and liberal democracy. For a country to be classified as a democracy, it must have multiparty elections and political freedoms that make those elections meaningful. According to this methodology, the dividing line between democracies and autocracies is whether a country’s leaders are accountable to their citizens through free and fair elections.

Of the 84 countries codified as autocracies under the Regimes of the World system in 2022, the United States sold weapons to at least 48, or 57 percent, of them. The “at least” qualifier is necessary because several factors frustrate the accurate tracking of U.S. weapons sales. The State Department’s report of commercial arms sales during the fiscal year makes prodigious use of “various” in its recipients category; as a result, the specific recipients for nearly $11 billion in weapons sales are not disclosed.

WHCA Advised Biden Admin On New Rules Governing Press Passes

The Biden administration consulted with “leaders” at the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) prior to rolling out new rules that govern press passes, a White House source confirmed to the Daily Caller.

The White House released a new set of rules on May 5 for journalists to be credentialed with a “hard pass,” mandating reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.” The new rules also state journalists with access must act in a “professional manner” and not impede “events or briefings.” Repeated offenders would face the possibility of having their hard pass revoked.

The WHCA — an organization committed to giving White House “access” to journalists — was initially reluctant to tell the Daily Caller whether they were involved with crafting the new policy.

“We aren’t going to comment at this time,” WHCA board member Tamara Keith said.

The White House revealed that the WHCA was indeed involved with creating a policy that includes, among other provisions, the potential for journalists to be booted from White House grounds.

“We have thoughtfully considered returning to prior guidelines for more than a year,” a White House official told the Daily Caller.

“As we neared a final decision, we informed White House Correspondents Association leadership of our plans and received feedback, as a result of which we made important updates to the policy, like accommodating permalancer and journalists without a residence in DC,” the official added.

Keith later confirmed to the Daily Caller that their feedback referred to “both the hardpass application and the paragraph about giving warnings and potentially revoking hard passes.”

“We expressed concern to the White House that this language could be abused by this or a future administration,” Keith said.

House votes YES on Secure Border Act in 219-213 vote, includes e-Verify requirement, with 2 Republicans joining Democrats to vote against border security

The bill passed 219-213.

On Thursday, House Representatives debated the Secure the Border Act of 2023 as Title 42 expired at the southern border, which lays out sweeping new requirements and restrictions for securing the southern border.

The bill passed 219-213. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie and John Duarte voted along side all Democrat members against the bill.

The bill was introduced to the House of Representatives on May 2 in anticipation of the flood of illegal immigrants expected in the wake of Title 42, which allowed expulsions due to the pandemic emergency.

The bill calls for the "immediate resumption of border wall construction" no later than seven days after the bill is enacted, using previously set aside funds and materials for its construction.

No later than 180 days after the bill is enacted, a report shall be submitted to congressional committees that outlines a strategic 5-year technology investment plan for border security, including potential upgrades in security technology, communications equipment, screening equipment, incorporating in input from the private sector.

In an effort to retain Border Patrol personnel, the bill will authorize up to $100,000,000 in appropriated funds for the Commissioner of the US Customs and Border Protection to give to front-line agents who hold a position equal to or below level GS-12, has been with Border Patrol for five years or longer, and commits two additional years of service with Border Patrol upon acceptance of the bonus.

The bill also requires that the Commissioner hire and train enough Border Patrol agents to maintain an active duty presence of no less than 22,000 full-time agents.

The bill also includes a provision prohibiting the requirement to take a Covid-19 vaccine or adverse actions taken against a Department of Homeland Security employee.

The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to send a report no later than 60 days after the bill is enacted on whether Mexican drug cartels meet the criteria for being designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act, stating that those found not to be eligible for parole shall be deported from the country.

The bill also increases penalties for illegal entry or presence in the country from $50-$250 up to $500-$1000.

Illegal immigrants who overstay a visa are subject to imprisonment of no more than six months and/or a fine for the first offense, and a fine and/or no more than two years of imprisonment for subsequent offenses.

The bill also mandates the use of e-Verify, a system used to check if a person is authorized to work in the United States.

Biden, Hill leaders delay debt ceiling meeting as Treasury warns of looming deadline

The U.S. hit is spending limit of $31.38 trillion in January of this year, prompting Yellen to implement "extraordinary measures" to pay the government's bills.

President Joe Biden and the top leaders of Congress will not meet on Friday to discuss the debt ceiling as originally planned and will instead gather next week.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy indicated that the delay was not a unilateral decision on the part of the White House, but that all parties had agreed to postpone.

"The White House didn’t cancel the meeting — all the leaders decided it was probably in the best of our interest," he said, according to the Washington Post.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were also expected to attend.

The delay comes as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned lawmakers that they have until June 1 to negotiate a plan to raise the debt ceiling or risk default.

The U.S. hit its spending limit of $31.38 trillion in January of this year, prompting Yellen to implement "extraordinary measures" to pay the government's bills.

In that time, Republicans have sought to extract budgetary concessions from the White House in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, though Biden has thus far not budged on the matter.

The Republican-led House in late April passed a measure to raise the debt ceiling for another year and to implement caps on spending growth so as to address the mounting national debt. Biden has vowed to veto the plan should it reach his desk.

McCarthy has eschewed the prospect of a short-term deal to avert a default, insisting it is time for Congress and the White House to settle the issue.

Chief House Investigator in Biden-China money scandal accuses media of cover-up

Rep. James Comer said that the media is blinded by partisanship and bias.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) blasted the mainstream media Thursday, accusing them of covering for the Biden family in their alleged crimes involving China and money laundering.

"The media is part of the problem," Comer told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "The Biden family wouldn't do things like this if they thought they would be held accountable in the media."

Comer previously said his committee had uncovered information suggesting that "10 or 12 Biden family members" participated in efforts to "launder or hide" money from "Communist China and other countries around the world."

The White House pushed back against Comer's probe this week, claiming it is an "evidence-free, politically-motivated 'investigation'" into the Biden family.

Comer remained focused on the media, calling them "tone deaf" for avoiding coverage of this scandal.

"I think every American wants to know what the Biden family did to receive all that money," he stated. "And I think the media is tone deaf to a certain degree. Their bias and partisanship blinds them."

He also accused the media of endangering America's national security through their lack of attention on the investigation.

"The media is an adversary," Comer stated. "The media is helping in this. The media has helped compromise our national security by not writing about this and by not demanding answers as to why the Biden family received that money."

America First Legal Releases New Internal DHS Documents Revealing The Government Is Funding Trainings Intended to Target Conservative Americans

Today, America First Legal (AFL) released documents obtained from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that reveal shocking internal documents from the Office of Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) regarding so-called domestic terrorism.

An internal memo dated January 29, 2021, just eight days after Joe Biden was sworn in as President, reveals a “Choose Your Own Adventure” game-like memo for individuals to make “real-life decisions” based on “radicalization” scenarios with various fictitious characters. The scenarios describe political viewpoints like opinions on abortion and expanded government.

For example, one of these characters is “Ann” who is described as a “middle-aged pro-life advocate,” and another is “Courtney,” a “budding conspiracy theorist.” They also outline “Pete,” the “Anti-gov/authority Abusive Parent/Stepdad.”

Another document reveals DHS planned a “Family First” photoshoot to “show every day people doing every day tasks… to emphasize that domestic terrorism can happen to anyone, but that anyone can also help prevent it.”

In their planning documents, DHS states, “when casting, we would like to share diverse race, gender, cultural individuals that align to the same distribution of the United States based on the breakdown of the most recent Census.” These documents further reveal that the government is using taxpayer dollars to expand its capabilities to deem innocent people as “extremists” or “domestic terrorists.”

Statement from Reed D. Rubinstein, America First Legal Senior Counselor and Director of Investigations:

“The Department of Homeland Security’s transformation into a domestic intelligence organization and a Stasi-like Deep State internal security apparatus is alarming. It is a very long way from “see something, say something” regarding an unattended suitcase at the airport to profiling patriotic and politically conservative Americans as abusive parents and domestic terrorists because they oppose abortion on demand and voted for former President Trump. The agency is out of control.” said Reed Rubinstein.

Biden Officials Advertise to Foreign Nationals How Best to Get into U.S. While Claiming ‘Borders are Not Open’

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, claims the United States-Mexico border is “not open” amid the administration’s ending of Title 42, an effective border control, while the agency advertises to foreign nationals around the world how best to get into the U.S. interior.

On Thursday evening, the Biden administration will lift Title 42 — the public health authority that has helped quickly remove nearly three million illegal aliens at the border since mid-2020. As a result, the administration is anticipating some 400,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to arrive at the border every month.

“I want to be very clear, our borders are not open,” Mayorkas said at a press briefing Thursday, touting how Biden’s DHS has massively expanded a Catch and Release network that has seen millions of border crossers and illegal aliens released directly into American communities.

“President Biden has led the largest expansion of lawful pathways in decades,” Mayorkas said, describing the Catch and Release network:

People from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua have arrived through lawfully available pathways … we are launching new and expanded family reunification parole processes for nationals of Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras and are increasing use of the CBP One mobile app for individuals to schedule appointments at our ports of entry. [Emphasis added]

At the same time that Mayorkas claims the border is “not open,” DHS announced ad campaigns that will be aired to foreign nationals in Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America that advise would-be migrants to use the administration’s Catch and Release network to get into the U.S.

The ad campaign “includes information on lawful pathways they can potentially access, instead of putting their lives in the hands of dangerous and unscrupulous smugglers,” a DHS release states.

Most popular within Biden’s Catch and Release network is the administration’s parole pipeline, which releases tens of thousands of migrants into the U.S. interior every month from the border, many without court dates in federal immigration court.

Mayorkas, on Thursday, called the parole pipeline “a success” and proof that the Biden administration is effectively transforming the border into an orderly checkpoint for migrants.

From late January 2021 to February 2023, more than 880,000 migrants have been released into American communities through the parole pipeline. This is a foreign population that exceeds the cities of Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado; and Nashville, Tennessee, among others.
