Everett, Wash—An Everett neighborhood is confused at the city’s priorities after a 7-year-old girl’s lemonade stand was shut down in Rucker Hill Park while complaints over a nearby homeless encampment have gone unaddressed.

Seattle—No shot, no service. More restaurants and bars across Seattle now require customers to show proof of vaccination before entering. This comes after at least nine bars temporarily closed—after workers either tested positive for COVID-19 or came into contact with an infected person.(Snip)
“Basically, we posted yesterday evening (Thursday evening) that we’d be requiring our guests to bring proof of vaccination and ID or results of a negative test,” said Miranda. “The decision is since there are a lot of restaurant workers that are catching COVID even though they’re vaccinated.” Miranda recognizes that it’s an inconvenience for many people.
Washington Heights, Manhattan—Two women and a man—all bystanders—were shot when gunfire erupted in Washington Heights late Saturday, police said.
A man, running from three other men, hid behind the counter of Marte Grocery on Audubon Avenue, officials said. A short time later, all four men were back outside and shot at each other, injuring three bystanders.(Snip)One woman, 42, was shot in the left arm; another woman, 58, was shot in the buttocks; a man, 78, was shot in the left arm and the abdomen, police said. All three victims were hospitalized for treatment. The three victims weren’t the only bystanders shot in New York
Shot putter Raven Saunders raised her arms above her head on the podium and formed an 'X' with her wrists on Sunday night as she claimed her silver medal, in the highest-profile protest yet at the Tokyo Olympics.

Retailers, malls and supermarkets across New Jersey are seeing dramatic surges in shoplifting over the past 18 months. It’s believed to be fallout from the pandemic-related economic downturn that has caused workplace cutbacks and joblessness. This is a separate type of crime from highly-publicized organized retail theft rings. More people are resorting to shoplifting as a way to make ends meet. That’s no excuse; just a sad reality. It also ties up valuable law enforcement resources. Significant time and taxpayer money is expended to track down, arrest and prosecute shoplifting offenders. It’s time for New Jersey to take the lead
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, blamed Democratic leadership for allowing the nation's eviction moratorium to expire and said the White House wasn't being "forthright" about its desire for Congress to act until it was too late. The Democratic-controlled House adjourned Friday without extending the moratorium that was put in place to help renters amid the coronavirus pandemic. It expired Sunday, leaving progressive Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez outraged and demanding that the House return from its August recess. Ocasio-Cortez said House Democratic leadership had an opportunity to hold a vote on extending the moratorium last week, but "there was frankly
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been caught without a mask numerous times in the U.S. Capitol after the return of a mask mandate and threatening anyone who opposes — even those who are vaccinated — with being arrested.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani pleaded that he “committed no crime” and is “more than willing to go to jail” if he is convicted in an NBC News New York interview Friday. Federal prosecutors took several of Giuliani’s electronics and personnel phones in an April 28 raid on his home under the accusation that he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires a government agent who wants to engage in foreign political activities to file paperwork for the Justice Department. “I committed no crime, and if you think I committed a crime, you’re probably really stupid, because you don’t know who I am,” Giuliani said.
Twenty-two people were shot Saturday night into early Sunday, with three of those people dying from their injuries, according to Chicago police.One of those homicides came on Saturday, which meant it counted in July month-end statistics released by Chicago police Sunday.

Only days ago, President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publicly blamed and shamed "unvaccinated Americans" for this new wave of the COVID-19 virus. I spent days ripping this narrative to shreds on my national radio show. It's a great big lie.And I was right. Bloomberg just reported that there are over 110,000 cases of "breakthrough COVID-19" -- i.e., vaccinated Americans with COVID-19. Why do you think the CDC is in a panic and just recommended masks for vaccinated Americans? The vaccine isn't working.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said he believes Democrats don’t actually want the pandemic to end. In an interview on Friday, the California Republican said Democrats have implied the pandemic isn’t close to being over through their actions.Issa suggested Democrats are trying to extend the eviction moratorium using the pandemic as continued cover. He said without relief from the vaccine, there would never be relief from the pandemic.Issa predicted this lack of relief would lead to a popular revolt among the American people.

Mbeubeuss is one of the biggest rubbish tips in Africa and Senegal’s largest open cemetery for murdered children. In the past three years, the bodies of 32 infants have been recovered from the site by the waste-pickers who work there. Looking at the high rate of infanticide in Senegal, it seems the main reasons for it are shame about pregnancy outside marriage and a loss of traditional support for young women. Religious conservatism, economic hardship and a lack of access to contraception and sex education in Senegal are leaving many women I talk to feeling isolated. In the past, girls could turn to la Badiane
Dr Anthony Fauci has warned of 'some pain and suffering in the future' as coronavirus cases continue to rise, but said that he does not see the need for new lockdowns. 'I don't think we're going to see lockdowns,' Fauci told Jonathan Karl of ABC's This Week on Sunday. 'I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country – not enough to crush the outbreak – but I believe enough to allow us to not get into the situation we were in last winter.' The nation's top infectious disease expert warned, however, that 'things are gonna get worse' and the number of COVID

Nearly 400 children between the ages of 12 and 17 were diagnosed with heart inflammation after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, according to a study published by the CDC on July 30.
The condition, also known as myocarditis, occurred mostly in young boys, the study found. Heart inflammation was not identified as an adverse reaction during the safety trials for the vaccine.
The CDC conducted the study by reviewing reports of adverse reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between Dec. 14, 2020, and July 16, 2021.
Of the 8.9 million children who received the vaccine as of July 16, VAERS received a total of 9,246 reports of adverse reactions,
With Donald Trump off the ballot and the 2022 midterms just over the horizon, Democrats and their corporate media allies have launched an obscene crusade to dehumanize the unvaccinated.
This anti-science campaign to demonize more than half the American people as walking biohazards (those who’ve chosen not to get vaccinated or who cannot due to their youth) is right out of the Nazi playbook and one of the most grotesque things I’ve ever witnessed.

Photos and video from last week show the first family of Kentucky chatting it up with the Commander-in-Chief Wednesday at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Beshear was accompanied by first lady Britainy Beshear and their two children.
Beshear greeted Biden as soon as the president walked down Air Force One. While there is no sound of them talking on the tarmac, the video shows the group talking, smiling, and laughing next to one of the president’s vehicles.
The mainstream media reported that this was supposed to be a routine talk between the POTUS and the Kentucky Governor, but a close-up video caught something disgusting.

Perhaps CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has no sense of irony. We recently passed the 500th day to slow the spread, which, as we all know, started with 15 days to slow the spread in March of 2020.

U.S. Representative Cori Bush, who was evicted three times and lived in her car with her two children before her career in politics, spent a sleepless night on the U.S. Capitol steps to protest the end on Saturday of a pandemic freeze on evictions.

San Francisco's broad-daylight retail heists have shocked the nation in their brazenness. They've triggered the closings of stores, such as Walgreens, and the shortening of hours from retail giants such as Target. Forty-four percent of city is planning to move out, with 80% citing out-of-control crime.
But the shoplifters have got a defender, too -- in San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. So do the drug dealers. The only problems that Chesa sees are the victims.

Every year, climate-change enthusiasts tell us the earth is getting hotter. Phys.org warned the world, “New 'hottest year on record' likely to occur in the next five years.”
C2ES informed readers, “It’s certain: The Earth is getting warmer, and human activity is largely to blame.” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ headline read, “Broken record: The planet is getting hotter. And hotter. And hotter.” But are we really observing record hot years consecutively? While global warming is real and has been happening since the end of the Little Ice Age in the 18th century, the claims surrounding unprecedented temperatures are, at best, highly dubious.

How bad are things for Joe Biden? So bad that even The New York Times is getting restless. “Democrats scramble to save the federal eviction freeze as frustration with Biden mounts,” declared a Friday headline.

I’ve never heard of Neil Oliver before today, but I am now following him on social media and I can count myself as a bonafide fan after reading his Twitter timeline and watching this incredibly moving and salient monologue on the nature of freedom.
Oliver is an archeologist and podcaster out of the United Kingdom. In fact, I am now subscribed to his podcast, Love Letter to the British Isles, which covers my favorite subject…history. After hearing him speak, I think I could probably listen to him read the phone book (do they still make those?).
But it’s not his accent or his smooth, calming tones that are most engaging.
Welcome to Unsolicited Advice, the weekly column in which I give salient advice to people who haven’t asked for it and don’t even know who I am.
This week I’m aiming my unsolicited words at those of you who were born in barns and then raised by wild wolves in the far, uninhabited reaches of the Appalachians before you were reintroduced to civilized society. You know who you are.
You’re the people who refuse to take your shopping carts back to the cart corral.
n the Bible there were four horsemen of the apocalypse -- sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague. In the Biden Administration there are three events spelling the doom of this administration and the Democrats: open border policy, inflation, and coercive unscientific public health measures. Catering to the party’s far left has poised the Democrats over a cliff from which I see no soft landing. Without backing off, they’ve lost the favor of the nation. But backing off will fracture the party and cost it its most fervent leftist wing -- indeed, its most strident supporters are already demanding more.
Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Jay Thomas on “The Jay Thomas Show” on Tuesday and took questions from local callers.
During their conversation Senator Cramer was asked by a caller about Ashli Babbitt and her killer Lt. Mike Byrd. Senator Cramer refused to identify the killer but said he was grateful for the officer’s action.
Senator Cramer then lied and said Ashli Babbitt was warned by police before she was shot in an ambush.
This is a bald-faced lie. The officer hid in the shadows, did not utter a word, and then shot Ashli Babbitt in the neck as she climbed through a window. She was unarmed and was not a threat.
Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors oversees the election activities for the county. What they allowed to happen in the primaries in the County is shocking.
WTH – Ballots used in Maricopa County in the 2020 primaries indicated the political party affiliation of the individual voter and the voter’s registration number as well. This appears to be blatant violations of an individual’s privacy and voter protection standards.
Compliance has become a HUGE issue for the Maricopa crowd. How could this type of poor oversight and implementation impact the 2020 general election? If simple standards are not met, what else could have occurred?
It’s an oft-quoted saying: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.”
A fact is something done, an action performed or an event or circumstance that actually occurred. Essentially, facts are indisputable truths about people, places and events.
The one seminal event that continues to fester like a boil on the American psyche is this past Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election. Why does it continue to fester? It festers because people of all stripes and backgrounds believe there were elements of election fraud, misrepresentations of the truth, dishonesty due to lawfare and, in certain cases, severe obstruction by politicians at all levels of government.
