Police have raided a Thai hospital after reports of Covid-19 patients having orgies, taking drugs and starting a brawl—finding only 23 cartons of smuggled cigarettes. According to local media, a staff member at the hospital in Samut Prakan, southwest of Bangkok, told police that patients were engaging in group sex and getting into fights that led to some injuries. Officers from Thailand's Internal Security Operations Command, dressed in PPE gear, raided the Samut Pra Ruamjai 5 field hospital where around 1,000 Covid patients are being treated, according to Thai news outlet The Thaiger.(Snip)Local administration officials will be joined on-site by police officers and even military personnel

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has praised the Biden administration’s evacuation of US citizens and Afghan allies from Kabul, as the deadline for America’s full withdrawal fast approaches. On Saturday, MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan asked Ms Omar if the president “surprised” her with his commitment to ending the 20-year war. “He certainly has,” the congresswoman responded. “The level of evacuation that his administration has been able to undertake is really inspiring and there’s important work that’s getting done.”(Snip)The Minnesota representative also urged Americans to welcome in as many Afghan refugees as possible in the wake of the crisis, especially those who risked their lives to assist the US military.

Chicago—A Chicago mother says a Cook County judge has taken away her parental rights after learning that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19.
In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.(Snip)She says out of the blue, Cook County Judge James Shapiro asked her whether she had been vaccinated. Firlit told Shapiro she had not because she has had bad reactions to vaccines in the past. Shapiro then ordered that Firlit be stripped of all parenting time with her son

There are 2,000 Afghans at Ft. McCoy in Wisconsin, and not a single one of them is a Special Immigrant Visa holder, according to a congressman who toured the base Friday and said he was dismayed by what he heard. Rep. Tom Tiffany also said the Afghans are free to walk away from the base at any time—and some already have done so, embedding in American communities. The personnel at the base can try to “discourage” them, but if they want to leave, they have already been paroled into the county and there is no way to block them, the Republican congressman told The Washington Times.

House Republicans on Friday introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of State Antony Blinken for “high crimes and misdemeanors” leading up to the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Republican Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Andy Harris of Maryland co-sponsored the resolution. They said “inexcusable failures” on behalf of Mr. Blinken led to the lives lost in Thursday’s terrorist attack in Kabul and “set a horrible precedent on the international stage.”(Snip)At this time, the impeachment articles have virtually no chance of advancing in the Democratic-run House. Several House Republicans introduced resolutions earlier this week condemning the administration for the bungled withdrawal.

President Biden on Friday said he and Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed requiring COVID-19 booster shots every five months rather than every eight as previously anticipated. The shorter timeframe would increase the number of vaccine doses that the US will need to set aside for booster shots—as poorer nations clamor for more US donations. “The question raised is should it be shorter than eight months? Should it be as little as five months? That’s being discussed. I spoke with Dr. Fauci this morning about that,” Biden said in the Oval Office during a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

The hunt is on for the men who orchestrated the terror attack on Kabul airport that killed at least 170 people including 13 US troops, after Joe Biden warned 'we will hunt you down and make you pay'. Early suspicion is likely to fall on Khalil Haqqani, the self-appointed head of security at Kabul airport who has links to ISIS-K—the splinter group which has claimed responsibility for the deadly blast. Along with his nephews Sirajuddin and Anas, Khalil helps to run the Haqqani network which is designated a terrorist organisation by the US and responsible for some of the deadliest and highest-profile attacks

COVID-19 has temporarily taken out one of the lead generals of the KISS army—Paul Stanley—and by extension a concert for his foot soldiers of rock.
The famous frontman shared the announcement Thursday evening for disappointed fans who planned to see KISS play at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. “Everyone on the entire tour, both band and crew, are fully vaccinated,” Mr. Stanley tweeted. “The band and their crew have operated in a bubble independently to safeguard everyone as much as possible at every show and in between shows.”(Snip)Thursday’s bad news for the “End of the Road” world tour follows a similar announcement

Roger Garrison, the former sheriff of Cherokee County, resigned this week from the state judicial watchdog agency after a decades-old photo of him wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood resurfaced. Garrison was appointed to the Judicial Qualifications Commission’s investigative panel on Aug. 19 by House Speaker David Ralston.(Snip)The photo, when it first surfaced in early 2012, received widespread media attention. After it became public, Garrison said he had no affiliation with the KKK and said he wore the costume to a Halloween party when he was in his early 20s. “I don’t deny it wasn’t stupid, looking back now, but there again I say

The Biden administration has cut off communication with the anti-Taliban resistance group the National Resistance Front since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan nearly two weeks ago, according to a report.
Ali Nazary, the head of foreign relations for the group, told the Washington Examiner that while he “tried to reach out,” they haven’t received any response from the Biden administration. “We don’t see an interest at the moment for the resistance,” he said, adding that the resistance’s hold in Panjshir, the northeastern province of Afghanistan, could have been used to keep those stuck in Kabul safe.(Snip)The lack of communication comes as the Biden administration grapples
