About to be Fired for the Crime of Being a Good Teacher

. . . and he is now about to be fired for being a good teacher for reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" out loud. This obtuse school district doesn't understand the use versus mention distinction. I hope he reaches out to FIRE or a competent attorney who handles First Amendment and public school employment cases.

Why Telegram is not a U.S. Company

From Vigilant Fox:

New: Pavel Durov blows Tucker Carlson’s mind by exposing U.S. law that forces engineers to install back doors—and bans them from telling their own company

This is why Telegram didn’t set up shop in America.

“You know what’s interesting, in the U.S., you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a back door and not tell anyone about it.”

“Using this process called the gag-order, you know there are certain legal procedures.”

Carlson, stunned, asked: “Not tell his own employer about it?”

Durov confirmed: “Yes, exactly. If you tell your own boss, you can end up in jail. Like, gag order.”

Carlson: “Actually?!”

Durov: “Yeah.”

Carlson: “So your employees have a legal obligation to act as fifth column spies? Saboteurs against you, your employees?”

Durov didn’t hesitate: “That’s one of the reasons I didn’t move to the U.S. with my team.”

RFK, Jr. Detonates the ACIP (Vaccine Approval) Process

From Sudden and Unexpected:

BREAKING: RFK Jr. has fired all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing their conflicts of interest in shaping vaccine policy. He calls the action a “total overhaul to rebuild trust in vaccine science.”

“Today we are prioritizing the restoration of public trust above any specific pro- or anti-vaccine agenda,” Kennedy said. “The public must know that unbiased science—evaluated through a transparent process and insulated from conflicts of interest—guides the recommendations of our health agencies.”

The ACIP process is pure insanity. Nothing scientific about it.

Jeffrey Tucker:

For those new to ACIP who want to know why RFK blew up the entire racket today, you need only watch this clip of a typical meeting. Just remember when you read the thousands of MSM articles on how RFK is "anti-science," this is the garbage they are defending.

About LA’s Rent-a-Riots

From Tweet by The Vigilant Fox:

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell just exposed what many already suspected—the chaos unfolding in Los Angeles is being escalated by professional leftist agitators:

“When I look at the people who are out there doing the violence, that’s not the people that we [see] during the day.”

“These are people who are all hooded up. They’ve got a hoodie on. They’ve got face masks on. They’re people who do this all the time.”

“Get away with whatever they can. Go out there from one civil unrest situation to another, using the same or similar tactics frequently.”

“They are connected. Some would call them anarchists.”

“They’re people that we run across routinely, city to city, and this is what they do.”

“Many of the people who are doing this come in from other places just to hurt people and to cause havoc.”

This isn’t spontaneous. It’s organized, and it’s designed to burn the city to the ground.

Vaccines to the Rescue? To What Extent Are Vaccines Responsible for Lowered Rates of Dangerous Infectious Diseases in the U.S.?

To what extent were vaccines responsible for the lowered rates of measles, whooping cough, smallpox, typhoid fever, enteric fever, typhus, scarlet fever and tuberculosis? According to Roman Bystrianyk, not much.

Who is Roman Bystrianyk? Excerpt from Grok:

Roman Bystrianyk is a researcher, author, and software engineer known for his work questioning mainstream narratives about vaccines and infectious diseases. He co-authored Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History with Suzanne Humphries, MD, which argues that the decline in infectious disease mortality in the 19th and early 20th centuries was primarily due to improved sanitation, nutrition, and living conditions rather than medical interventions like vaccines.

Take a look at this chart, then see his Tweet below:

Imagine a massive drop in all infectious diseases—measles, whooping cough, smallpox, typhoid fever, enteric fever, typhus, and especially the biggest killers of the time: scarlet fever and tuberculosis. All of them began to decline around the same time, steadily trending toward zero—with or without vaccines. Smallpox, once feared, became as mild as chickenpox, even as vaccination rates fell.

When we zoom in on the New England states—an area known for better living conditions and access to healthcare—the story becomes even clearer. In 1962, measles-related deaths were almost nonexistent across all six states:

Connecticut: 0 deaths

Maine: 1 death

Massachusetts: 0 deaths

New Hampshire: 0 deaths

Rhode Island: 1 death

Vermont: 3 deaths

Yet we’re still told that vaccines were the main reason for the decline—even though there was never a national vaccination program for scarlet fever or tuberculosis, the diseases that had taken the most lives. And the vaccines for the diseases we hear about nonstop didn’t show up until after the death rates had already dropped by nearly 100%.

Does really looking at the data and history give you a different perspective on vaccination?
