I was appalled, but not surprised, when on Saturday, September 24, the Dean of Students at Wellesley College, where I am a student, buried at the end of an email to the student body that all students at Wellesley would be required to receive a shot of the new bivalent Covid-19 booster. Then on October 11, we were informed this mandate would take effect on December 1, nearly three weeks before the end of the semester. This announcement follows similar decisions from Tufts University, Harvard University, and the University of California, among others. It also follows a growing body of...

From the streets in Ottawa, we learned how essential the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is – for those who hold the real power. Governments may back down on masking and distancing, but they will hold onto the vaccine mandate tenaciously. It is the key to the intense surveillance needed to control the lives of everyone, on the pretext of protecting us all from a dread disease. Get the shot, or lose your job and eventually your ability to buy or sell. Comply, or else freeze to death or starve. The Canadian truckers convoy was at first about forcing truckers to get...

A high-ranking US Army officer has resigned and given up his pension after almost 20 years of service because of what he called President Biden’s “unethical, immoral and tyrannical” vaccine mandate. Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague said in a resignation letter tweeted by his wife, Katie Phipps Hague, that he was resigning from his 19-year career primarily because of the Pentagon requirement that all US military members be jabbed by mid-September. Katie Hague said in the tweet that her hubby was “walking away from all he’s worked for and believed in since he was an ROTC kid at UGA.” Hague,...

Rudy Giuliani’s law license has been suspended. In a ruling handed down by the New York State Supreme Court Thursday, the state’s Attorney Grievance Committee successfully moved to have the former New York mayor’s license suspended. Specifically, Giuliani’s actions related to his defense of former President Donald Trump were to blame, according to the court. “We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at...

On Tuesday, the Vail School District in southern Arizona was scheduled to discuss its mask policy after Gov. Doug Ducey enacted a new executive order that lifted the state’s order to require face masks in schools. In response to the meeting, more than a hundred parents rallied for the Vail School District to drop the mask mandate. But just moments before the meeting was scheduled to take place, school officials abruptly decided to cancel the meeting, citing safety concerns over the parents’ protest. A throng of parents later pushed their way into the board room while refusing to wear masks...

Michigan’s stay-at-home order is set to expire May 28, but as some sectors of the economy begin to reopen earlier in regions of the state, many people are wondering what could be next. The first-term Democratic governor has come under fire for the COVID-19 related restrictions, sparking three major protests at the Michigan State Capitol, capturing the attention of thousands of people across the country. Some protests have featured racially-charged messages, such as a Confederate Flag, and other insensitive signs, like nooses or comparing Whitmer to Adolf Hitler. Another protest-type event organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition is scheduled for...

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The 2nd Amendment is one of the key methods of ensuring a free society stays free. The basis was to prevent tyrannical governance, but the argument of “the collective rights theory” has been the blade that has undone the stitching to allow far more government intervention in the ownership of firearms and has created back doors to regulation. One of the more recent studies into Gun Ownership and Crime Stats, carried out by...

During the United Nations Climate Action Summit at the U.N. headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, Leonardo DiCaprio -- who was recently named the “Messenger of Peace” for the international organization -- told those in attendance that it's “time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet. … You can make history or be vilified by it.” “To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car,” DiCaprio said. “This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries...
