‘This Is Terrifying’: YouTube Suspends Steven Crowder For ‘Hate Speech,’ Covering ‘Transgender Community In An Offensive Manner’
YouTube suspended Steven Crowder’s channel for one week on Wednesday, claiming the conservative pundit and comedian violated the platform’s rules against hate speech.

Florida Rate Of COVID Infections Third Lowest In U.S. In Last Week | The Daily Wire
As the summer season has ended, and the hot temperatures start to subside across Southern states, encouraging more people to be outside rather than inside together in the air-conditioning, the rate of COVID-19 infections in Florida has plunged so rapidly that it has the third-fasted descent in rates of cases in the nation over the last two weeks, trailing only Alabama and Hawaii.
According to The New York Times chart on Thursday, Florida’s case rate per 100,000 people over the last week was 13, third only behind Connecticut and Hawaii, which both have a rate of 11 cases per 100,000.

AUSTRALIA: ‘Protection’ for businesses which choose not to impose a vaccine mandate
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says states will be able to provide “protection” for businesses which are concerned about choosing not to impose a vaccination mandate.
“The advice I have received is that workplace health and safety regulators in the states can provide a statement of regulation intent that a business that does not mandate is not in breach of workplace health and safety laws,” he said.

COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO: Granted, the title of this video is resonating with the exact vibe that Ben Shapiro was tactically avoiding when he he set up this debate. I suspect that ‘Actual Justice Warrior’ has labelled his video with some slight ‘tongue-in-cheek’.
I watched the entire debate last week over at The Daily Wire and it is true, it really did expose the ‘out of touch’ Ana Kasparian for having nothing much more than the standard far left talking points.
It was definitely a sensible move by Shapiro to invite her to this event and just give her a platform. YouTuber ‘Actual Justice Warrior’ breaks down the discussion here with some really great analysis, point by point – BrandX.

Southwest Airlines CEO Caved?: ‘We’re not going to fire any employees over this’
Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly on Tuesday did an interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos where he said “We’re not going to fire any employees over this.” It sounds like the pilots won.
But the airline did announce on October 4 that all 56,000 Southwest employees working in the United States had to provide proof that they were vaccinated against COVID or they would be fired.
When asked about it, Kelly told Stephanopoulos there is “no evidence” that any kind of demonstration against the mandate contributed to the massive flight cancellations and service disruptions over the holiday weekend.

Kamala Rips Explorers’ ‘Shameful Past’ Who Came To America: ‘That Has Never Been The Whole Story’ | The Daily Wire
Speaking at the National Congress of American Indians 78th Annual Convention on Tuesday, the day after Columbus Day, Vice President Kamala Harris took the opportunity to slam the European explorers who reached the Americas hundreds of years ago, calling it an era with a “shameful past” and lecturing, “Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations — perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease.”
Harris appealed to her audience as victims and separated them from the general populace of America as she spoke of different nations, saying, “President Joe Biden and I believe that the bond between our nations is sacred.”

We need a Covid champion to defy Big Pharma like the thalidomide heroine - The Conservative Woman
IN 1960, Frances Oldham Kelsey prevented thousands of American babies from facing a life of severe disability.
A medical officer with the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), Kelsey refused to buckle under relentless pressure from the pharmaceutical company Merrell to approve the drug thalidomide for use as a sedative and, off-label, as a treatment for morning sickness.
From 1957, the drug had been used in Europe to ease extreme nausea in the early stages of pregnancy. But by 1961, mounting reports from concerned doctors revealed devastating birth defects in the babies of women who had taken thalidomide.
