With Appeals Court Ruling, Biden’s Vaccine Mandate for Federal Employees Remains on Hold <[link removed]> - Judge Andrew Oldham’s opinion Thursday, joined in whole or in part by nine of his colleagues on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, addressed Biden’s executive order of Sept. 9, 2021, requiring all federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or face termination. The case is called Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden. The president issued a similar order covering federal contractors; however, that order is the subject of a separate lawsuit and was not at issue in this decision by the 5th Circuit, sitting en banc.

The Left will regret opening up the woke Pandora’s box <[link removed]> -
A tweet by the Vanguard that said, “LOL: Briahna Joy Gray BREAKS the brain of Rising guest Bethany Mandel by asking her to define ‘wokeness,’” garnered 34.3 million views, and a hate fest erupted in the Twitterverse. “This is perfect. See how easy this was, journalists?” Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” gushed in a tweet <[link removed]> . She can’t tell history from fiction, but she’s more than glad to pile on someone who was simply caught off-guard on camera. Heritage Expert: Mike <[link removed]>Gonzalez <[link removed]>
Parents are fed up with public schools secretly transitioning children <[link removed]> - Parents — once viewed as the natural authority figures in their children’s lives — now find themselves largely spectators:
locked out, lied to, and gaslit in a national effort to secretly gender-transition children in public schools behind their parents’ backs. But parents are fighting back. Heritage Expert: Sarah Parshall Perry <[link removed]>
