Biden Administration issues shot mandate
The Biden Administration has issued a nationwide mandate for American citizens to take to covid shot. In the speech Biden said our patience for those who have not received the shot has run out. He went on to add that at his request The US department of Labor will require private companies with 100 employees or over to mandate the shot for all employees. The task of enforcing the order is expected to go to OSHA. Fines for businesses that refuse could be up to 14 thousand dollars per violation. Republican governors called the mandate tyrannical, and an overreach of the federal government. Several of these governors are promising to sue the Biden Administration over the mandate. Critics say Mr. Biden is attempting to draw attention away from a series of issues blamed on his administration in just the past eight months; the situation in Afghanistan, the ongoing border crisis, the rise in inflation, and forcing Americans into mandates violating their first amendment rights. Biden’s approval rating has dropped to 39 percent; one of the fastest drops in approval ratings for an administration. 

Celebrities launch tirade against Americans who refuse to take the shot
Mr. Biden’s supporters in Hollywood entertainment seem to be echoing his extreme mandate. Comedian Jimmie Kimmel in his opening monologue suggested patients in the hospital who have not taken the shot should be turned away. Kimmel claimed, “if you have a heart attack and you have the vaccine come on in. An unvaccinated person who gobbled horse goo, rest in peace.” The comment was in reference to the medicine Ivermectin which has been falsely claimed as animal medicine by some critics. Some doctors have used it to help patients fight against covid-19. Critics call Kimmel a hypocrite. The comedian has a young son who had serious health issues, and at the time he pushed for better healthcare in the U.S. for all because of his son’s health issues.

Radio host Howard Stern launched into a profanity laced attack on the same topic. Stern called those who have not taken the shot “imbeciles”, and complained they are keeping him from returning to normal life. Stern continued his rant making disturbing comments about two conservative radio hosts that died from covid. Both men had not taken the shot. Stern also supported refusal of hospital services to those who refuse to take the shot. Several entertainers in Hollywood have pushed the pro-jab conversation claiming to have cut family members and friends off for not taking the shot. Most are themselves not obeying the same rules they want the public follow. Ex. about 600 celebrities, guests and staff were scheduled to participate in a birthday celebration for former President Barak Obama this year. The party was later reduced to about 200 hundred (possibly about 3-400 hundred with staff-the full number at the party was not confirmed.) No masks, social distancing, or shots were required, to attend the party. The story was mostly ignored by the mainstream media (except for their interest in why some people were angry about the party). 

Arizona State officials divest from Ben & Jerry’s 
Arizona state officials announced a state funds will be divested from Ben & Jerry’s. The state treasures Kimberly Yee announced the withdrawal. Yee says Ben & Jerry’s boycott of Israel is a violation of Arizona law. The state is a business partner with Israel. Yee says state taxpayer dollars will not go towards Anti-Semitic discriminatory actions towards Israel. Ben & Jerry’s announced earlier this summer they will no longer sell ice cream in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The company claims the areas are under “occupation by Israel”. The area is disputed by Palestinians who want the land as part of their own nation. Israel in modern times acquired the land in 1967 from Jordan during the 6-day war. The land is also a part of the nation’s four-thousand-year Biblical heritage according to Israeli officials and theologians. The states of Texas and Florida are also weighing a boycott of Ben & Jerry’s.

The law nicknamed the Heartbeat Act would ban abortions in the state once a heartbeat has been detected. The law also allows private citizens to sue anyone who helps facilitate an illegal abortion. Pro-abortion organizations say the fight is not over and they are committed to helping women in that state find safe and legal alternatives. Pro-life supporters say 150 babies will be saved each day in Texas because of the law. It is estimated three-thousand babies are aborted in the US each day. 

SNBC NEWS Covid Watch
In France that nation’s citizens have taken to the streets in protest of new vax card requirements to enter businesses and forms of transportation. Some people have literally taken to the streets eating in front of empty restaurants in protest. The protests are causing businesses to lose money now prompting France to ease their restrictions. 

In Australia members of a church were fined and arrested for holding church services under strict covid lockdown rules. Pastor Marvin Osaghae and 30 members of his congregation were arrested, loaded into police vans and booked on violation charges. Each member was charged a one thousand dollars fine. The church was fined five thousand dollars for the violation. One politician called the church gathering a blatant contradiction of the rules. 

A judge in Chicago stripped a mother of custody of her child due to the mother’s refusal to take the covid shot. The mother when asked says her doctor advised against it due to her history of adverse reactions to previous shots. The judge awarded full custody to the woman’s ex-husband; it is unclear if the controversy around his decision motivated the justice, but the order has been withdrawn awarding the mother joint custody.

Also, in Chicago a man was shot after an altercation over his refusal to wear a mask. The argument started outside a store when the security guard refused entry for the man for not wearing a mask. An argument ensued resulting in the victim being shot three times. Following the incident and arrest police discovered security guard, Chester Holmes was a four-time convicted felon, and a registered child sex offender.

Organization sues over controversial curriculum in California
In California the state’s school department has issued another controversial option for school curriculum. According to reports the California State Department of Education will allow children and teachers to pray to Aztec gods as part of an ethnic studies course. The information was discovered after a conservative organization, The Thomas Moore Society filed a lawsuit concerning the curriculum. The lawsuit was filed after requests to remove this part of the lessons was ignored. The curriculum instructs teachers to lead children in several self-affirmation chants one option featuring prayer chants to Aztec gods. According to the lawsuit the curriculum includes calling these deities by name and recognizing them as a source of power, knowledge, and asking them for assistance. The Aztec culture practiced human sacrifice to their gods. The sacrifices were so gruesome that European explorers commented on the practice in their writings during their exploration of the Americas. The lesson plans also include the Ashe Prayer from the Yoruba religion. The Yoruba religion is considered the root foundation of beliefs like Santeria, and Voodoo. Critics claim the schools would have been sued if these chants were based on the Christian faith and should not be used for impressionable students. According to snopes.com the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is voluntary and is a form of community chant that includes names of broad indigenous concepts that teach students self-reflection and action.  According to UN.org indigenous concepts are practices by Indigenous people who are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. 
(In other words, these concepts are practices of certain beliefs passed on from generation to generation including their religious beliefs.)

SNBC Health report: the benefits of using an air purifier
 Several research journals conducted studies measuring how far viral droplets spread from patients with the flu, cold, and other viral illnesses. A study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology in June 2020 suggests air purifiers may work as a protective measure in medical and dental offices. The environmental protection agency also noted air purifiers may help with the reduction of viral illness spread. The organization added the device helps with the reduction of forms of air pollution indoors. Because people spend a lot of time indoors air purifiers help to remove any toxics located inside the home and remove them safely, especially in colder climates or seasons. Researchers believe this may help reduce illness in winter months and improve air quality in homes. Certain plants can also be used to purify indoor spaces. Snake plants, Peace Lily’s, Bamboo Palm, Aloe Vera, and Boston Ferns are just a few plants that can be used as natural air purifiers.

Judges rule in favor of Texas abortion law
A court has upheld a Texas law banning a form of abortion. State law prohibited a particular kind of abortion called dismemberment abortions. This method of ending a pregnancy is considered cruel and horrific according to critics. The law was passed in 2017; it bans this kind of abortion after the second trimester of the patient’s pregnancy. The law had been previously blocked by the courts, finally being upheld this year. The decision was made by a federal panel of judges in New Orleans to uphold the Texas law. Three of the judges in their dissent accused Texas politicians of attempting to ban abortion all together in that state. If appealed by abortion organizations, the case will go before the US Supreme Court.

Harvard chaplains elect atheist to head department

Described as a humanist chaplain by Harvard, Epstein has been working at the university for several years. He also wrote a book called, ‘Good without God’, which was on the New York Times best seller list. Mr. Epstein told the New York Times, “We don’t look to a god for answers we are each other’s answers. The new head of chaplains will oversee activities for Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and other faith communities on the campus.

Radio host announces rescue of Afghan Christians
Conservative host Glenn Beck announced some great news from Afghanistan. Beck announced on social media that The Nazarene Fund has rescued Afghan Christians from that nation. Beck issued a plea on his show to fund the evacuation. The host’s followers responded raising
22 million dollars in just three days. The radio host’s staff says that number has now risen to over 28 million dollars. The mainstream media noted the money was raised without help or advertisement in the mainstream, who largely ignored the efforts. So far Beck says twenty 757’s airplanes will be used to evacuate Christians and move them to different countries. Some countries have remained reluctant for fear of retaliation, but some have volunteered. Glenn Beck mentioned in an interview the nation of Zimbabwe has volunteered to take in Christians and other nations are beginning to follow that nation. Beck says the organization was expected to move seven thousand Christians by the end of last week. The Biden Administration announced following the collapse of the nation’s capital to the Taliban that they would stick with the August 31stdeadline to evacuate Americans, allies, and religious groups such as Christians. Charity organizations and fellow ally nations are now working quickly to evacuate as many people as possible before that deadline. The terrorist organization has issued thinly veiled threats concerning anyone who tries to evacuate people following August 31st. Terrorists blocked the entrance to the Kabul airport for days before a bombing that killed 13 US serviceman, and 90 civilians. The US did launch an attack in retaliation for that suicide bombing.

Doctors believe the numbers are rising; some are using the rise to encourage those with compromised immune systems to receive booster shots expected to be administered in September of this year. The CDC has refused to comment on the rise in cases at this time. Researchers in Israel report the shot’s effectiveness has dropped close to 30 percent. CDC findings have also reported a drop in the shot 60 percent for one shot and 70 percent for the other. Scientists with clinical trial reported on medRxiv the same findings that the shot was dropping in its effectiveness against the coronavirus.

More companies and state/city governments attempt to force COVID shots onto US citizens
The Biden administration recently announced federal government workers and active members of the US military will be required to take the shot. The news was announced in late July. The Department of Veteran Affairs also announced mandatory COVID shots for its 115-thousand employees. The announcement was made following a wave of companies and state governments requiring the shot for employees. California’s governor announced mandatory shots for state workers or weekly tests and masks required indoors. New York City’s mayor Bill de Blasio announced mandatory shots or tests for municipal workers, health care workers, and teachers. (The city will also require vax cards to enter gyms and dine in restaurants). Mainstream media and the Biden Administration claim the rise in the Delta variant is due to those who have not received the shot. Some companies across the US are beginning to require the shot for employees despite the CDC and several accredited organizations now admitting the Delta variant is rising due to breakthrough cases. Harvard Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Mina and Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps Research institute have both recently reported again a drop in the effectiveness of COVID shots. Recently here in Charlotte state health employees confirmed 50 employees and nine patients tested positive for COVID at Atrium Hospital in Pineville; 35 of those employees had received the shot.  

State officials seek legal boycott of Ben & Jerry’s in Florida
State officials in Florida are looking into ways to boycott ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s.  The state has anti-boycott laws that can punish companies for engaging in political boycotts. There are some conflicting reports about who initiated the boycott. Founders Bennett Cohen and Jerry Greenfield claim they no longer control the company but stand by the decision to boycott Israel. 
The two owners had previously claimed making this decision was the hardest decision they have ever made in the company’s history. The parent company that owns Ben & Jerry’s also claims they are fully committed to doing business with Israel despite Ben & Jerry’s decision (implying they did not make the decision to boycott). The company pulled its product from the West Bank and East Jerusalem claiming the area is “occupied by Israel”. The efforts are believed to be in support of the BDS movement, which encourages economic boycotts against Israel. 

 Medical student sues following treatment by school for his pro-life stance
A medical student who says he was kicked out of school just before graduation has filed a lawsuit.  Austin Clark recently filed a lawsuit against some employees of the University of Louisville Medical School. The student says the school’s president and several staff members harassed and demeaned him for his beliefs. Clark, who is a Christian, says the abuse started after he hosted a pro-life rally on campus. The student was represented by Alliance Defending Freedom prior to the rally due to protests from the school’s staff and students. Clark says following the pro-life rally he was attacked by professors, one professor referred to him as stupid and asked if his brain was working. Mr. Clark says he was later given a failing grade in a class even though there was clear evidence that he passed the course. The University of Louisville medical school released a statement saying they will not comment on the case since it is currently in litigation. 

SNBC health report doctors are giving a warning about sunscreen
According to research several popular sunscreen brands have an ingredient considered a potential carcinogen. Scientists recently petitioned the FDA to remove products by Coppertone, Banana Boat, and Neutrogena citing a possibly dangerous ingredient. Researchers at nonprofit Haereticus Environmental Laboratory believe the ingredient octocrylene could be harmful to the body’s organs and cause a risk of cancer. The organization along with other prestigious universities released reports claiming this finding should be considered a serious concern. Among the claims researchers say too much of the chemicals in these sunscreens are absorbed by the body warranting further testing of ingredients. Vitamin D from the sun is one of the most effective ways to absorb the nutrient. If you wear sunscreen some naturopaths advise natural alternatives to sunscreen. Eating the right foods: nuts, seeds, coconut oil, and avocados have omega fatty acids which help protect the skin naturally.  Other oils such as Carrot Seed Oil, Red Raspberry Seed oil, Wheat Germ oil, sesame oil and coconut oil are considered natural sunscreens. Aloe Vera and wearing protective clothing when outdoors is also considered an alternative to using sunscreen.
