She came to see the Rockettes’ world-famous kick-line — but got kicked out of line instead.
Kelly Conlon, 44, was chaperoning her 9-year-old daughter’s Girl Scout troop to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular last month when she was flagged by the event space’s facial recognition system and refused entry despite holding a ticket.
What landed the New Jersey-based attorney on the naughty no-entry list? Her job.(Snip)Conlon was caught up in a Big Brother-esque crackdown by Madison Square Garden CEO James Dolan, who has banned anyone who works for any law firm that has a suit against any of his holdings, which includes the Knicks, Rangers, Radio City, MSG and various restaurants.

A US government-funded nonprofit known as “the mountain retreat for the liberal elite” sponsored a “tabletop exercise” intended to influence coverage of a leak of documents related to Hunter Biden, the latest installment of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” reveals.
In a series of tweets Monday, independent journalist Michael Shellenberger posted confidential documents from the Aspen Institute’s September 2020 event, which he said was attended by Twitter’s then-head of trust and safety, Facebook’s head of security policy and top national security reporters from The New York Times and The Washington Post.(Snip)“The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social media carried it,” Shellenberger wrote.

A Chicago-area high school “literacy coach” recently recorded a video of herself in which she admits to indoctrinating the students in her charge.
Fox News reports Crete-Monee High’s Heather Marie Godbout (pictured), a member of the school’s Equity Team, also rips “right-wing conspiracy theorist nut jobs” in her video and notes she is opposed to traditional grading policies — because grades get “conflated with other things that aren’t actually learning, like effort or ‘work ethic,’ whatever that means.”(Snip)Godbout says believes conservatives “are legitimately trying to bring down our democracy,” create “a Christian nationalist theocracy” and “literally un-alive people.” Thus, they aren’t worthy of respect.

Chicago - Students and staff at the Francis W. Parker School evacuated their building Monday because of what turned out to be an unsubstantiated bomb threat just days after a far-right group publicized a covertly recorded video of the school’s dean discussing sexual education classes.
The elite Chicago private school in Lincoln Park was targeted with an emailed threat that warned a bomb would be placed on the school grounds, Chicago police said. Francis Parker’s security team found the threat "originated from out of the country," officials said.

The Covid-19 vaccine requirement for military service members is hopefully nearing its end after the House of Representatives bipartisanly passed the National Defense Authorization Act with a provision to repeal the mandate last Thursday. (Snip) Berry characterized the mandate as an “ideological litmus test.” For proof, he shared with The Federalist a disturbing email that has been “circulat[ing] within the Marine Corps legal community.” In it, the deputy director for the USMC Judge Advocate Division (the second-highest-ranking lawyer in the Marine Corps) said that unvaccinated Marines, like Berry, “may have interests adverse to the United States.” How exactly Berry and other military members’ vaccination status has anything

Sorry, hipsters.
A recent tweet says it all. “Sam Bankman-Fried: I don’t know where $10 billion went. The Pentagon: We don’t know where $2.2 trillion went. The IRS: You just sent $601.37 don’t forget to report it.”
The Biden administration is recruiting 87,000 IRS agents, allegedly to keep an eye on billionaires. But all appearances are that it’s aiming at the little fish of the gig economy instead.
Taking payments for a side hustle via PayPal or Venmo? Not only is the IRS reminding you those payments are taxable income, it’s deputizing those payment companies to snitch on you. (Snip) The threshold used to be $20,000 but was lowered to $600

The intolerant leftist mob is coming for Christians everywhere, and we were just the latest target in the way this past Wednesday night.
The Family Foundation of Virginia is the largest and oldest pro-family advocacy organization in Virginia. Our team and supporters were denied a meal for our beliefs when Metzger’s Bar and Butchery in Richmond, Virginia, refused to service our pre-reserved event, leaving us scrambling just moments before. (Snip) About an hour and a half before the event was set to take place, one of the restaurant’s owners called our team to cancel. An employee had looked up our organization, and their wait staff refused to serve us.

A scientist who worked at a controversial research lab in China has claimed that COVID was a man-made virus that leaked from the facility, according to a report.
Andrew Huff, who worked for a New York-based non-profit that studied viruses, said COVID leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China two-plus years ago and blamed authorities for the “biggest US intelligence failure since 9/11,” Britain’s The Sun reported Saturday.
The lab has been at the center of fierce debates about the origins of COVID, with both Chinese government officials and lab personnel denying that the virus leaked from the facility.
Huff, an epidemiologist, said in his new book, “The Truth About Wuhan,”

Kyiv - The Ukrainian government will draw up a law banning churches affiliated with Russia under moves described by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as necessary to prevent Moscow being able to "weaken Ukraine from within." In a move condemned in Moscow, Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council told the government to draft the law following a series of raids on parishes that Kyiv says could be taking orders from Moscow as Russia wages war on Ukraine. (Snip) Zelenskiy also said officials would look into whether the formerly Moscow-linked branch of the church was entitled to operate at the sprawling Pechersk Lavra monastery in Kyiv.

The European Union (EU) reportedly threatened to ban Twitter from the continent on Wednesday if the company’s new owner, Elon Musk, doesn’t adhere to strict content moderation guidelines.
This warning shot was fired by EU industry chief Thierry Breton, who indicated that the guidelines Musk’s Twitter must follow were detailed in the European Commission’s Digital Services Act (DSA). These guidelines include surrendering the platform to “independent audits” conducted by “independent” third parties and the implementation of “mechanisms to adapt swiftly (Snip) but more alarmingly, no major American politicians have spoken out about a foreign entity attempting to force an American company to censor itself.

A cannibalistic double-murderer from Florida could end up walking the streets again — without ever going to trial.
Former Florida State University fraternity member Austin Harrouff, 25, was deemed not guilty by reason of insanity Monday after randomly hacking John Stevens and his wife Michelle Mischon to death with a machete in 2016. (Snip) The grieving sister said she was baffled by the reluctance of the state attorney’s office to pursue the case further.
“I ask myself, why are we here today?” she said. “Why is there no trial? Why is my family being denied justice?”
