USA: Navy To Separate Unvaccinated Officers Under Same Category Used For Drug Offenders and Sexual Deviants - National File
The United States Navy is punishing and separating unvaccinated naval officers under the same category of “Misconduct, Moral or Professional Dereliction” that is used to separate drug offenders and sex offenders from the Navy. NATIONAL FILE broke the news that the Navy is setting up a a new punishment squad called the CCDA to carry out the “administrative separation” of vaccine refusers. All vaccine refusers are reportedly getting discharged after they are separated. In a newly released policy document to guide the CCDA, the Navy states that vaccine-refusing naval officers will be processed as “Misconduct, Moral or Professional Dereliction” cases.
Washington State Trooper Fired Over Vaxx-Mandate Signs Off with Epic Message for Jay Inslee
The madness of vaccine mandates is spreading across the country. In Washington where radical leftists control much of the government, law enforcement officers are being fired over not complying with Governor Jay Inslee’s vaccine mandates. One cop had a message for Inslee as he signed off for the final time after 22 years:
“This is the last time you’ll hear me in a patrol car and Jay Inslee can kiss my ass.”

America’s Descent into Medical Fascism
I debated whether to include “medical” in this headline. After all, fascism is fascism, right? It hardly requires a modifier.
Moreover, fascism and the medical profession share a long and sordid history. During the 1930s, German doctors joined the Nazi party at four times the rate of other professionals. Among the Nazis’ most heinous crimes against humanity were their medical experiments on human subjects—atrocities that gave rise to the Nuremberg Code, which states that “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.”

This time on #SWYSI, Peter Hitchens discusses the British police’s historic transformation into a form unrecognisable from decades past. He agues that the British police were once unique in the world. They were an important conservative & very English institution which was set up in complete distinction from continental police forces.
Parliament had seen European police forces become tools of oppression. They were armed & uniformed state police whose job was to enforce the will of the state — and it was not felt that such a body should exist in Britain. Consequently, the British police force that was set up was very different: unarmed, not given special powers, limited in their abilities. This is no longer the case.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ditches ’Divisive Vaccine Mandate | The Daily Wire
Delta Air Lines is ditching a vaccine mandate for employees, according to company CEO Ed Bastian, who notably emphasized the “divisiveness” of such an order.
Bastian said announcing a plan to get all employees vaccinated, without enforcing a mandate, has worked, allowing the company to reach a 90% vaccination rate.
“The reason the mandate was put in by [the] president, I believe, was because they wanted to make sure companies had a plan to get their employees vaccinated,” the CEO said, according to Fox Business. “A month before the president came out with the mandate, we had already announced our plan to get all of our people vaccinated. And the good news is the plan is working.”

The Unvaccinated Are Looking Smarter Every Week
There is a massive propaganda push against those choosing not to vaccinate against COVID-19 with the experimental mRNA vaccines. Mainstream media, the big tech corporations, and our government have combined efforts to reward compliance and to shame and marginalize non-compliance. Their mantra says that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Persons who choose not to vaccinate are characterized as unintelligent, selfish, paranoid people who don’t read much and live in a trailer park in Florida (or Alabama, or Texas, or name your state). Never has there been such an effort to cajole, manipulate through fear, and penalize people to take an experimental medical treatment.

Call for a referendum on the sinister Coronavirus Act - The Conservative Woman
TUESDAY will see the well overdue debate and vote on whether the ‘temporary’ provisions of the 2020 Coronavirus Act will remain in force for another six months. (They technically ran out in the last week of September).
The motion will be: ‘That the temporary provisions of the Coronavirus Act 2020 should not yet expire.’
An email of inquiry to the House of Commons elicited this information:
‘If the House decides to approve the motion, nothing has to change. The Act continues in force as it is at the moment until 25 March 2022. On that date, any remaining temporary provisions will expire, unless Parliament has decided further to extend them in the interim.

DeSantis says ‘we have to protect the jobs,’ vows to sue Biden over vaccine mandate: ‘You are trying to plunge people into destitution’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hammered President Joe Biden this week over the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The Republican governor of Florida vowed to sue the Biden administration over the vaccine mandate, and proclaimed that it is "fundamentally wrong to be taking people's jobs away," especially after they worked during the deadly pandemic.
"Let's not have Biden come in and effectively take away — threaten to take away — the jobs of people who have been working hard throughout this entire pandemic," DeSantis said during a Thursday press conference on monoclonal antibody treatments in Fort Myers, Florida. "I am offended that a police officer could potentially lose their job."

CNN Guest Decimates CRT Talking Point About Teaching Slavery | The Daily Wire
Former right-of-center commentator S.E. Cupp told CNN that she learned about the physical brutality and moral evil of slavery as a child — inadvertently refuting a common assertion that schools have “whitewashed” the subject, taught the “Confederate” view of the institution, and would be barred from discussing the slavery or racism unless school boards adopt Critical Race Theory (CRT).

Op-Ed: Segregated campus spaces prove the ends do not justify the means when it comes to diversity in higher education
Higher education is facing a diversity dilemma and universities cannot have it both ways.
America’s colleges trumpet their unflinching support for racial diversity through institutional policies and statements on websites – which purportedly prepares students to live and work in an increasingly diverse workplace and society –but then pursue those goals by separating and segregating students according to race.

Left-wing activist calls out Clint Eastwood for his joke almost 50 years ago at Oscars that ‘mocked’ Native American actress. It’s a cancel culture fail.
You may have notice that Clint Eastwood — the iconic 91-year-old actor and director who's still going strong — was put on blast this week by a left-wing activist who called out Eastwood for a joke he uttered at the Academy Awards
The 1973 Academy Awards, to be exact.
