Judge rules in favor of Houston hospital
requiring employees to be vaccinated
Posted By: Ribicon, 6/13/2021 5:26:45 PM
A lawsuit opposing the Houston Methodist Hospital network’s mandate that employees must get the COVID-19 vaccine has been shot down at the federal level. A U.S. District judge on Saturday tossed the lawsuit from employees of the Texas hospital system who argue they shouldn’t be required to get vaccinated. The dismissal comes after 178 staffers who declined to get the vaccine were suspended by Houston Methodist, which had instituted a June 7 deadline for employees to receive the shots. A claim made by the lawsuit’s lead plaintiff, Jennifer Bridges, describing the vaccines as “experimental and dangerous” was refuted by the judge.

A man whose shocking slur-filled rant against an Asian NYPD cop went viral this month threatened another officer’s family just before the racist attack, newly surfaced video shows. The unidentified man, who’s black, repeatedly called the Asian officer a “ch—k” in a widely circulated video that was filmed in Greenwich Village as protests were held in Washington Square Park on June 5. But new video posted by the Police Benevolent Association union on Wednesday shows the lead-up to that racist exchange—as the man angrily eggs on another cop sitting in a police van.(Snip) “It’s not an isolated incident. It is the reality on our streets.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland celebrated Flag Day on Monday by hoisting the “Progress Pride” flag above the Interior building in Washington, DC. “Today we celebrate love,” Haaland wrote on social media with a picture of the flag. “For the first time ever, the Progress Pride Flag is raised over Interior. Happy Pride!” The Progress Pride flag is a revised version of the gay pride rainbow flag, including black and brown stripes to represent gay, lesbian, transgender, and intersex people of color, as well as the colors of the pink and baby blue transgender flag.(Snip)It is unclear if Haaland intentionally featured the Progress Pride Flag on Flag Day
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been slammed for sending a 'deranged' email to one of her female staffers berating her for failing to scheduled enough 'office time'. The condescending message was sent by Lightfoot to her then-scheduler Taylor Lewis on January 28, but was only obtained by the Chicago Tribune this week. The paper was investigating reports of high staff turnover at City Hall when they uncovered the 'unhinged' email. The message included sentences which Lightfoot repeated more than a dozen times—apparently in order to really get her point across.(Snip) In the email, Lightfoot continued to patronizingly repeat each sentence she subsequently wrote.
San Francisco has become a shoplifter’s paradise—with thieves like the one caught on video looting a Walgreens emboldened by relaxed punishment for the crime as businesses shutter, cops say. The Walgreens heist, which happened right in front of a security guard, renewed the debate over a controversial city law called Proposition 47. “What happened in that Walgreens has been going on in that city for quite a while,” San Francisco police Lt. Tracy McCray said on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” Wednesday. “I’m used to it,” McCray continued. “I mean, we can have a greatest hits compilation of people just walking in and cleaning out the store
An off-duty Jersey City police officer was hospitalized after being beaten by a group of 10 men in a racially-motivated attack over the weekend, authorities said. The 42-year-old white officer was bleeding form his head and face when his colleagues were flagged down near Grove Street and Newark Avenue around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. The officer was assaulted by a group of 10 males, who were also shouting racially motivated insults at the victim, she said. The unnamed victim identified himself as an off-duty police officer multiple times throughout the assault before losing consciousness
Hunter Biden referred to Asians as 'yellow' in a 2019 text conversation with his cousin. Caroline Biden, President Joe Biden's niece, was texting Hunter discussing setting him up with her rich, model friends. In the January 2019 conversation she asked her cousin: 'Do you want foreign or domestic. I can't give you [expletive] Asian sorry. I'm not doing it.' The president's son replied: 'Domesticated foreigner is fine. No yellow.'(Snip)Caroline, daughter of Joe Biden's brother Jim, was trying to help Hunter get over Hallie, his brother's widow and his lover, with whom his relationship had soured. The 34-year-old has had several run-ins with the law.

Comedian Dana Carvey gave a bumbling impersonation of President Biden during an appearance on “The Late Show” Monday, mistaking Belgium waffles for “crazy pancakes” and repeatedly referring to host Stephen Colbert as “Merv.”
Mr. Colbert introduced Mr. Carvey on the show as the president via satellite from Brussels, where the real Mr. Biden attended a U.S.-European Union summit Tuesday. Mr. Carvey shuffled into the room and had trouble finding the camera before saying, “Oh! There you are!”(Snip) Mr. Carvey’s Biden recounted his Europe trip, referring to French President Emmanuel Macron as “the high school kid who runs France, Macaroni,” and calling Belgium waffles “crazy pancakes”
President Biden appeared to be holding another of his “cheat sheets” at his high-stakes summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Switzerland on Wednesday. Biden seemed to be hiding the notes from Putin, a former KBG agent, as they sat on opposite sides of a small table inside the historic Villa la Grange in Geneva, the Sun reported.(Snip) The scene unfolded as the two world leaders barely made eye contact during introductory remarks that were interrupted by a shoving match between American reporters and Russian security personnel. The chaos largely drowned out Biden’s comments, which included calling the US and Russia
Connecticut schools that insist on using Native American nicknames and mascots without written consent from tribal leaders could see their budgets on the chopping block. State senators passed a budget bill Tuesday containing a provision that cut districts off from the Mashantucket Pequot/Mohegan Fund, which generates education revenue at the state’s Indian-run casinos. Money would be withheld to schools that don’t have permission to use “any name, symbol or image that depicts, refers to or is associated with a state or federally recognized Native American tribe or a Native American individual, custom or tradition, as a mascot, nickname, logo or team team.”
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on Wednesday is set to unveil a statue of George Floyd that officials say will be displayed outside City Hall for at least a year. “The artwork honors the life of George Floyd, an African-American man who was brutally murdered by a white Minneapolis police officer,” the mayor’s office said in a statement. “Mr. Floyd’s death elevated the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement which has resulted in an international response, including protests, police reform measures, and the removal of Confederate statues from public parks and racist names from organizations.”(Snip) The ceremony will also honor Juneteenth, which is Saturday and marks June 19,
A growing legion of black parents in Queens say the Department of Education has failed their kids through mismanagement and neglect—fueling an exodus out of the public school system. Fed-up families in District 29—a primarily black area which includes Hollis, Rosedale, and Cambria Heights—said the DOE has long tolerated abysmal math and English proficiency rates, despite high per-student spending.(Snip) Despite spending roughly $27,000 per student, PS 134 in Hollis saw only 6 percent of 5th graders pass their 2019 state math proficiency test and 17 percent hit that minimal mark in English. The DOE spent nearly the same amount at PS 156
In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. And that’s certainly an undercount. Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships and elsewhere. These weapons of war disappeared because of security failures that, until now, have not been publicly reported, including sleeping troops and a surveillance system that didn’t record.(Snip) While AP’s focus was firearms, military explosives also

In relation to an upcoming Supreme Court case concerning abortion, when asked if a 15-week-old unborn baby is a human being, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) did not answer directly but said, “I’m going to wait for the Supreme Court decision.” At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, CNS News asked Senator Blumenthal, “The Supreme Court this fall will review a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Is an unborn baby at 15 weeks a human being?” CORRECTION*
There is something you need to know because it is of overwhelming importance to America’s survival as a constitutional democratic republic: The Biden administration is moving inexorably to making it a crime to oppose Biden and the Democrat party’s policies. Attorney General Merrick Garland is organizing a massive task force to hunt those illusory “White supremacists,” who just happen to be Trump supporters. Moreover, the federal charging documents against many of those being held for trespassing in Congress reveal that some of the people most active in planning January 6 and encouraging others to act were FBI agents or informants. In other words, it was a set-up.

A bill to make Juneteenth Independence Day a federal holiday passed the House on Wednesday and will head to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.The bill would make June 19 the 11th federal legal public holiday. Also known as Emancipation Day or Jubilee Day, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States marked by Major General Gordon Granger arriving in Galveston Bay, Texas, with 2,000 Union troops to issue an order on June 19, 1865, that said "all slaves are free" under the Emancipation Proclamation.President Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862, to go into effect on Jan. 1, 1863.
Sen. Joe Manchin has been one of just two Democrats, along with Kyrsten Sinema, to continually say that they aren’t open to abolishing the filibuster. To this point, the filibuster has stood in the way of Democrats seeking to pass all manner of insane bills. Previously, I opined that Sinema seemed more resolute than Manchin regarding her position. Well, that may have been a good bet on my part. A leaked phone call between Joe Manchin and a political advocacy group reveals the machinations being attempted by the West Virginian senator behind the scenes. Not only is Manchin signaling he’s open to abolishing the filibuster, but he’s also targeting
Do you remember how conservatives went out of their way to separate rank-and-file FBI agents from the corrupt actions of Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Bill Priestap, James Baker, James Rybicki, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page (snip) an exposé in Revolver News detailing the FBI's probable infiltration of the January 6 voting rights protest and political rally in D.C. and the likelihood that undercover agents instigated and actively participated in the events at the Capitol that day should put the matter to bed once and for all.

Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Cindy Hyde-Smith, (R-MS), and Krysten Sinema, (D-AZ).(Photo) Republicans attending the soiree included Sens. Deb Fischer (R-NE), Joni Ernst, and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
Several of the senators posted photos of the event on social media, thanking Harris for the dinner party. Sen. Debbie Stabenow revealed that Harris made the cheese puffs herself.
Wholesale prices in the U.S. increased at their fastest annual rate ever in May, driven by rising food prices, as soaring inflation threatens to derail the post-pandemic economic recovery.The producer price index, which measures inflation pressure before it reaches consumers, rose 0.8 percent in May for an annual gain of 6.6 percent, the biggest jump since annual data was first compiled in 2010, the Labor Department said Tuesday.The annual gain is somewhat skewed by a 'base effect' from last year's data, when prices plunged early in the pandemic,
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden released a blueprint for his New War on Terror. In the “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” the Biden White House pledges that the administration will combat domestic terrorism “while vigilantly safeguarding peaceful expression of a wide range of views and freedom of political association.” Yet the administration’s biases give conservatives good reason to doubt this pledge. The White House claims that the “two most lethal elements” of domestic terrorism are “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race” and “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremists, such as militia violent extremists.”
A Baptist pastor in Calgary, Alberta, was arrested a second time Monday after a police helicopter discovered where his church had been secretly gathering since authorities locked their building.
Pastor Tim Stephens of Fairview Baptist Church also debated the legal and theological grounds of Alberta’s public health orders with the arresting officer, who quoted Jesus twice before driving the pastor to jail while his young children wept.(Snip)“A police helicopter was deployed to search for and detect this gathering, and to collect evidence against Pastor Stephens of non-compliance with public health restrictions,” according to a press release
