Galveston, Texas—At least one person who sailed on a Carnival cruise out of Galveston, Texas in late July to early August died from COVID-19, the cruise line confirmed Tuesday. The cruise line is pushing back against what they call "disinformation," saying it is almost certain the woman who died did not contract COVID on the ship. The Houston Chronical reported that 77-year-old Carnival Vista passenger Marilyn Tackett of Oklahoma was put on a ventilator in Belize after experiencing respiratory complications.(Snip)The tourism board said 99.98% of the ship's crew was vaccinated, as well as 96.5% of its passengers.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told top Pentagon leaders to prepare for a potential 'mass casualty event' 24 hours before a suicide bomb rocked the hurried U.S. evacuation at the Kabul airport, new internal DOD documents reveal. The documents, which the Pentagon condemned as a leak of classified information and urged the media not to report, detail top military officials trying to sort out security in a situation they already deemed a major risk.

Two weeks ago, Ranjith “Roy” Kankanamalage, 50, was discovered with a fatal head injury in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, east London. The brutal attack was, police believe, motivated by homophobia and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A day earlier, a couple called Rob and Patrick were attacked with broken bottles in Birmingham’s gay village, leaving one unconscious and the other with extensive cuts. Three men have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and wounding.(Snip)Local activists and national campaigners have told the Guardian that this spate of attacks across the UK, while unconnected, underscores a climate of fear endured by the LGBTQ+ community on the streets.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House on Monday will complete a circle of politics and intrigue spanning three U.S. administrations. President Biden has put Ukrainian corruption near the top of the agenda when he sits down in the Oval Office with Mr. Zelenskyy. It’s the same issue that has imbued both Washington’s and Mr. Biden’s relationship with the Eastern European country for nearly a decade.
Mr. Zelenskyy, a comedian, actor and political neophyte who was elected Ukraine’s president in 2019, wasn’t always at the center of the U.S.-Ukraine circle. But when he was, it was a doozy.(Snip)Documents found on Hunter Biden’s laptop
Ben Sasse said President Joe Biden doesn't have any plan in place to get American citizens and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan after the withdrawal deadline of August 31 passes. 'The American people have a right to be livid about it,' the Nebraska Republican senator told ABC News' Martha Raddatz.
'There is clearly no plan,' Sasse blasted the administration. 'There has been no plan. Their plan has basically been happy talk.'(Snip)'What we need,' Sasse said, 'is a commander in chief that actually has a big plan and a big way to solve this problem.

Kabul, Afghanistan—Three children were killed in a drone strike that U.S. officials said struck a vehicle carrying Islamic State suicide bombers, an Afghan official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns. U.S. officials said the vehicle was carrying explosives and that the initial strike on Sunday set off secondary explosions. The American officials said the bombers planned to attack Kabul’s international airport, where a massive airlift is still underway ahead of a Tuesday deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
A former Obama administration Cabinet official on Sunday compared Americans who oppose face masks and vaccines to suicide bombing terrorists that killed Americans at the Kabul airport. As the families of U.S. service members that died as a result of the ISIS-K attack in Afghanistan last week met with President Biden, Arne Duncan tweeted that he saw a comparison between the killers in Afghanistan and those Americans who oppose masks and vaccines. “Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?”(Snip)“They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on

He’s a one man menace, a walking tornado of trash. They call him the “Can Tipper” of the Upper East Side—and he can’t be stopped by the NYPD, homeless outreach workers or local politicians. For years, a homeless man has made a habit of knocking over garbage cans on a roughly 15-block stretch of Lexington Ave. around E. 80th St., frustrating business owners and residents who say they’ve been unable to stop the near-daily mayhem. “Everyday he comes in and says, ‘hey [expletives]’ and then a bunch of racist stuff about how I am Middle Eastern and how I shouldn’t be here,” said Habeeb Nasr

The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s.
Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart. This poisonous doubt is having a tangible effect on enrollment. Despite the fact that public education is free, parents are sending their children to private schools with more reliable, more predictable policies.
Enrollment in public schools nationwide declined by 3 percent last year. But it was the numbers for kindergarten enrollment
Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, must go.
President Biden claims that the military advised him to close Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and instead use Kabul’s airport to evacuate Americans. They were the ones who said the Afghan army would hold, that the pullout would go smoothly.
If Biden is telling the truth, this disaster is on Milley’s watch. Or Biden is lying (the more likely scenario, based on what sources inside the administration are saying) and Milley failed to do his duty and push back against a commander in chief who is making deadly decisions. Either way, he is derelict in his duty

Stuart Scheller published a new video online on Sunday addressing his resignation just days after he went viral for calling out his superiors for not 'raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, 'We messed this up.''Scheller's original video criticized Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were at the Dover Air Force Base Sunday morning for the dignified transfer of 11 of the 13 service members who lost their lives on Thursday. While there, the president actually checked his watch. And he wasn't subtle about it, not even close to it. (Tweets/Videos) The bodies arrived last night, but the president did not go to meet them. To be fair, Julio had on good authority that some family members did not want him there. (Tweets) Again, the president wasn't even subtle about it.

The Blood On Joe Biden’s Hands

The best-case scenario under Joe Biden’s Afghanistan plan was the United States running away from Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble fast enough to avoid offending troglodytes who pass the time waiting till they find a 12-year-old girl to marry by sexually violating even younger boys. Let that sink in. Now there are 13 Americans dead among 170 slaughtered by terrorists. But at least there are no mean tweets, right? Unfortunately, there aren’t any coherent actions or words either. Joe Biden has blood on his hands he can’t ever wash off.
The attack came a day after a report that the White House was of the firm belief that they deserved praise
Comments:
"Despite being fully vaccinated," etc. Must be one of those sneaky variants again, making it appear that the vaccine does not do what they claim.
