The Council on American-Islamic Relations is reporting a new high in the bullying of Muslim children in California public, charter and non-Islamic private schools. In a statewide survey of 708 Muslim students aged 11 to 18 years old, 55% reported “feeling unsafe, unwelcome or uncomfortable at school because of their Muslim identity,” the highest level in five such reports since the biennial study began in 2013, CAIR-CA reported. Hussam Ayloush, head of the civil rights group’s California chapter, told The Washington Times that the results confirm American Muslims have “faced growing challenges due to Islamophobia” in popular culture and public hate crimes during the past 20 years

Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine increases a person's risk of developing rare blood clots, a new study suggests. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, compared data from the general population before the pandemic to data gathered from reported vaccine side-effects suffered by Americans. They found that a person who received the vaccine was 3.5 times as likely to develop brain blood clots as an average person before the pandemic. Blood clotting, and specifically cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a well known side-effect of the J&J vaccine, and the discovery of this risk was the reason usage of the vaccine was paused in April.

The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not hear a challenge over a Catholic hospital declining to provide transgender surgery, leaving in place the lower court’s ruling in favor of the transgender man. A transgender man, Evan Minton, sued Dignity Health after the hospital declined to perform his hysterectomy.
He received the surgery three days later at a non-religious hospital but filed a lawsuit in California claiming he was discriminated against. The lower courts ruled in his favor and against the hospital, which asked the justices to review the case.(Snip)The majority of the justices declined to get involved. Justices Neil M.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' £48million Gulf Stream has led a 400-strong parade of private jets into COP25 including Prince Albert of Monaco, scores of royals and dozens of 'green' CEOs as an extraordinary traffic jam forced empty planes to fly 30 miles to find space to park. Some environmental activists at the COP26 climate conference will be urging others to cut down on air travel and eat less meat, but apparently it is fine for billionaires to fly in on their own planes on routes already served by commercial airlines.(Snip)Conservative predictions suggest the fleet of private jets arriving for COP26 will blast out 13,000tonnes of carbon dioxide

Vice President Kamala Harris received a third COVID-19 vaccination shot on Saturday in front of a fake White House set, which was the target of mockery earlier this month. Harris, 57, received the much-discussed booster shot from a member of the White House Medical Unit—a day before President Biden's twice vaccinated press secretary Jen Psaki announced she contracted the virus. 'Let’s get vaccinated and we will get through the pandemic,' Harris told reporters during a two-minute appearance at the auditorium-style set according to the New York Post.(Snip)The target of mockery and derision after Republicans called out the Hollywood-style set stand-in

President Joe Biden once again seemed to rely on a cheat sheet of 'pre-approved' reporters as he held a press conference at the conclusion of the G20 summit in Rome on Sunday. Biden spoke with various world leaders about climate change goals ahead of the COP26 summit United Nations Climate Change conference to be held this week in Glasgow, Scotland. As he opened up the floor to questions, at the start of the the press conference, the president seemed to be using a pre-ordained list of correspondents to call on. 'And now I'm happy to take some questions. And I'm told I should start with AP, Zeke Miller,'
