American woman stranded in Afghanistan tearfully says Biden's State Department 'broke me'

by Leave a Comment

A U.S. citizen stranded in Afghanistan presented an emotional account of how the State Department failed to help her evacuate the country as the Taliban marched to power.

Jen Wilson is the chief operating officer of the Army Week Association, a nonprofit organization founded to ease veterans’ transition from military service. Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August, Wilson has been focused on rescuing American citizens and U.S. allies while working for Project Dynamo, a civilian organization to evacuate “eligible parties out of Afghanistan.”

While searching for Americans to evacuate out of Afghanistan, she discovered a woman named “Julie.”

On Friday, Wilson appeared on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” to tell Julie’s story.

“I kind of run the ground-ropes in America,” Wilson told host Dana Perino. “Part of that role is going through the database and vetting who is requesting evacuation.”

“Right now, obviously, we are only able to evacuate Americans and NATO passport holders,” she explained. “So, my call list is about 500 Americans, NATO and their family members.”

“It was in those vetting calls that I found Julie,” Wilson continued. “I called up, basically just to say ‘are you an American?’ She told me her story and it broke me.”

Julie, who has allegedly been a U.S. citizen for at least 16 years, called into the cable news program to explain how she has been stranded in Afghanistan.

Perino asked Julie what the State Department told her to do in order to be evacuated from Afghanistan, to which she replied, “I am not doing anything. I’m just sitting on a hill.”

“They broke me. The United States broke me, because I am U.S. citizen,” the woman said, and then became choked up with emotions and began crying.

“And first … you know, I’ve been through a lot of — very bad in my life. I see, you know, I just come to get married here, to have life with my family and get back there,” she said. “The Taliban come in and everything is changing, and make my life as, I basically, I died, but I still alive. I don’t know.”

Julie said Jen is her “best lifeline,” and she couldn’t rely on President Joe Biden’s State Department.

“The State [Department], I call them so many times,” Julie alleged. “I email them, they just take the phone, they say, ‘I’m sorry, we can’t do anything for you.’ And that is the answer. And I said what’s going on with you guys? I’m a U.S. citizen who [inaudible] United States. I just lose a lot of family.”

Wilson revealed that Julie received a letter from the State Department telling her that they would be able to get evacuated out of Afghanistan through the airport in Kabul. Tragically, Julie is said to have lost 18 members of her family in the Aug. 26 suicide bombing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport that killed 13 U.S. service members and 169 Afghans.

Approximately 100 U.S. citizens who want to escape Afghanistan remain in the country as of two weeks ago, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during congressional testimony last week.

Before the U.S. withdrawal deadline, Biden vowed to evacuate all American citizens out of Afghanistan. “We will get you home,” Biden promised on Aug. 20.

Mayor Glenn Jacobs tells Biden the vaccine mandate is illegal, says Knox County won't comply

by Leave a Comment

Glenn Jacobs, the libertarian mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, has informed President Joe Biden that he will not enforce the new federal vaccine mandate, accusing Biden of overstepping his constitutional authority with his “egregious executive overreach.”

Jacobs, aka Kane, a former WWE wrestler, wrote a letter to the president on Friday regarding the president’s executive order mandating that all businesses with 100 or more employees require vaccination against COVID-19 or weekly COVID testing for employees, else they will face fines.

“Knox County will not comply with your mandate,” Jacobs wrote to Biden.

“As the chief executive of an organization that employs 2,700 individuals, your action adds financial, legal, and regulatory burdens that will ultimately impact Knox County taxpayers. In addition, it potentially hinders our ability to attract quality employees since many folks in our community will not work somewhere that unjustly imposes vaccine mandates,” Jacobs wrote.

“As a fellow elected official who has sworn an oath the uphold the U.S. Constitution just as you have, I am alarmed by the alacrity with which you issued this order, contradicting both Article I, Section 1 — which vests legislative power in the Congress — and the Tenth Amendment — which recognizes the sovereignty of the states or the people over matters the Constitution does not delegate to the federal government.”

Jacobs criticized the Biden administration for “trampling constitutional process” by using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to promulgate the regulation as an emergency rule instead of asking for an act of Congress.

“Mr. President, if we, as elected officials, ignore, disregard, and contravene the laws which bind us, how can we expect our fellow citizens to respect and follow the laws which bind all of us as a society?”

Jacobs further wrote he was “appalled” by Biden’s assertion that “this is not about freedom or personal choice.”

“Recently I attended the memorial service for one of our armed forces service members killed in the August 26 suicide bombing attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. We are told that this young patriot, like so many before him, died in defense of our freedoms. But is this statement actually true? Is it an expression of solemn gratitude and a debt that we can never pay? Or is it simply a hollow platitude we recite to rationalize the loss of our best and brightest?” Jacobs asked.

“If it is the latter — if it is not about freedom — then we need to be honest with ourselves: we are not the country — nor the people — we claim to be, and we need to figure out what this nation really stands for. In Knox County, we know what we stand for. We stand for freedom. We stand for the rule of law. We stand for the Constitution. And you can rest assured that we will stand against your blatant and egregious executive overreach.”

Biden slashes distribution of monoclonal antibodies to red states, Marco Rubio reacts: 'This reeks of politics'

by Leave a Comment

The Biden administration is cutting back the supply of monoclonal antibodies, a COVID-19 treatment featuring a lab-engineered protein, in several red states. There has been a backlash to the reduction of the potentially lifesaving treatment, especially in Florida, where monoclonal antibodies are being used the most.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced on Monday that the agency is taking over the distribution of monoclonal antibodies to states. Previously, the states ordered therapeutics from the federal government.

“HHS will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis. State and territorial health departments will subsequently identify sites that will receive product and how much,” an HHS spokesman told the Washington Post. “This system will help maintain equitable distribution, both geographically and temporally, across the country — providing states and territories with consistent, fairly-distributed supply over the coming weeks.”

The policy shift will affect seven red states the most: Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana, which have accounted for 70% of monoclonal antibodies orders, CNN reported.

“Given this reality, we must work to ensure our supply of these life-saving therapies remains available for all states and territories, not just some,” an HHS spokesperson said.

Florida has received the most doses of monoclonal antibodies, followed by Texas. Florida received 30,950 doses this week, after the Sunshine State requested 72,000 doses, according to the governor’s office. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis established 25 clinics that offer monoclonal antibody treatments; the first was opened on Aug. 12 in Jacksonville. The clinics have administered 90,000 monoclonal antibody doses, according to DeSantis.

DeSantis slammed President Joe Biden for the “abrupt” cut in monoclonal antibodies.

“We are very, very concerned with the Biden administration and the HHS’s recent, abrupt, sudden announcement that they are going to dramatically cut the number of monoclonal antibodies that are going to be sent to the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during a press conference on Thursday. “There’s going to be a huge disruption and patients are going to suffer as a result of this.”

“We’ve been thrown a major curveball here with a really huge cut,” DeSantis added. “We’re going to make sure we leave no stone unturned. Whoever needs a treatment, we’re going to work like hell to get them the treatment.”

“Many thousands would have ended up in the hospital, and of course, some of them would have ended up dying, so it has saved lives here in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said of the monoclonal antibody treatment.

“The bottom line is this: COVID is a treatable illness. And we have to never go back to the days where particularly high-risk people get infected and were told to just go home and hope they don’t get deathly ill,” DeSantis declared.

Sen. Marco Rubio blasted the Biden administration for reducing Florida’s supply of COVID-19 treatments.

“Antibody treatments aren’t a substitute for vaccines But they have prevented thousands of hospitalizations including in breakthrough cases,” Rubio wrote on Twitter. “Now in a move that reeks of partisan payback against states like Florida, the Biden administration is rationing these treatments.”

“This reeks of politics. This is the Biden administration punishing Florida,” Sen. Marco Rubio said in a video. “They’re saying to states like Florida, ‘Oh yeah, you’re not gonna have mandates? You’re not gonna do what we want you to do? Well then guess what, we’re gonna cut off your antibody treatments and your access to them.'”

The Biden administration has made monoclonal antibody treatments a priority in its “Path out of the Pandemic” plan.

“Monoclonal antibody treatments have been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization by up to 70% for unvaccinated people at risk of developing severe disease. As hospital systems experience increased COVID-19 cases, many have identified monoclonal antibody treatment as a key tool to improve health outcomes, prevent hospitalizations and reduce the strain on overburdened hospitals,” the plan states.

DeSantis noted that 52% of COVID-19 patients who were treated at the Broward monoclonal antibody treatment site had already been vaccinated, and 69% of those treated at the site with monoclonal antibodies were over 65 years old and vaccinated.

With the supply of monoclonal antibodies being cut by more than half by the Biden administration, DeSantis said he would attempt to secure a new monoclonal antibody treatment from another pharmaceutical company – GlaxoSmithKline.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced on Tuesday that the U.S. government had purchased 1.4 million additional doses of its COVID-19 antibody cocktail, which brings the total bought to nearly 3 million doses. Regeneron will supply the upcoming doses between now and the end of January 2022. The monoclonal antibody treatment costs $2,100 per dose, according to Regeneron, which adds up to revenues of $2.9 billion.

Prominent immunologist now regrets voting for Biden

by Leave a Comment

A prominent immunologist has come out to admit that he now regrets voting for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election because of the administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Dr. Hooman Noorchashm has held positions at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and the Philadelphia VA Hospital, according to Drugwatch, a consumer advocacy organization of which Noorchashm is a contributor. Noorchashm has also assisted in acquiring grants from the National Institutes of Health, as well as “authored more than 65 articles, abstracts and reviews in peer-reviewed medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Immunology, Nature Medicine, American Journal of Transplantation, Critical Care Medicine, and Diabetes.”

Noorchashm is a proponent of COVID-19 vaccines for those without natural immunity, and recently encouraged adults to “get vaxxed, if not immune.” However, Noorchashm is sternly against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, especially for those who have “pre-established acquired immunity” to coronavirus.

Noorchashm is cited in a lawsuit arguing that Michigan State University’s vaccine mandate should include an exemption for those who have COVID-19 antibodies. Jeanna Norris, a 37-year-old Michigan State administrative associate and fiscal officer, filed a lawsuit against the school claiming that she shouldn’t need a vaccine because she contracted coronavirus in 2020 and recovered, and thus has natural immunity.

“I consulted with Dr. Hooman Noorchashm on August 21, 2021 and August 26, 2021 about receiving a vaccine in light of my natural immunity. Dr. Noorchashm advised me that immunization was medically unnecessary,” Norris said in a declaration, WDIV-TV reported on Aug. 30.

Noorchashm slammed Biden’s White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in late August for an “irrational focus on mandated vaccination, instead of immunity,” which he claims causes harm by not promoting determination of medical necessity and vaccinating already immune individuals.

The last straw for Noorchashm came when Biden announced his sweeping vaccine mandate last Thursday.

“LET ME BE CLEAR @POTUS: To mandate vaccination of any COVID-recovered American against his/her will is unscientific, unethical and illegal,” Noorchashm wrote on Twitter. “@WhiteHouse U have overstepped and are operating in dangerous territory when it comes to already immune Americans. Cease and desist!”

Noorchashm, who voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election, instantly regretted helping the Democrat get into the White House.

“I voted for Biden….As a McCain republican. It was an error and I now regret it,” the immunologist tweeted on Friday morning. “Last night’s chest beating press conference by @POTUS was one of the most destructive and divisive speeches ever given by a US president who claims 2 B a well-reasoned uniter, acting on science.”

There are multiple studies that point toward natural immunity being more robust than COVID-19 vaccinations.

Dr. Marty Makary, who also serves as a surgical oncologist and chief of the Johns Hopkins Islet Transplant Center and a professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in May that “natural immunity works.”

Makary called the CDC’s dismissal of natural immunity “one of the biggest failures of our current medical leadership,” adding, “I never thought I’d say this, but please ignore the CDC guidance” if a person is vaccinated or has natural immunity.

Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked about a recent Israeli study that found natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection provided longer-lasting protection against the Delta variant than two shots of the Pfizer vaccine. During his appearance on CNN, Fauci was questioned how he would respond to people who believe natural immunity is as effective or better than vaccines based on the new data.

Fauci, the White House’s top adviser for the COVID-19 pandemic, responded, “I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that.”

#IWillNotComply trends on Twitter after Biden orders vaccine mandate

by Leave a Comment

President Joe Biden announced that he is implementing COVID-19 vaccine mandates not only for federal employees, but also for workers of private companies. The new order ignited a backlash on social media from Americans who vow not to comply with the sweeping coronavirus vaccine mandate.

Biden’s vaccine mandate, which could affect 100 million Americans, applies to federal employees, health care workers, companies that contract with the government, and private companies that have 100 or more employees. The mandate allows for weekly COVID-19 testing as an alternative to getting the vaccine.

Soon after Biden’s announcement of his “Path Out of the Pandemic” plan on Thursday, the hashtag #IWillNotComply trended on Twitter.

Americans incensed over the mandatory vaccine order voiced their displeasure on social media.

“Joe Biden has gone full authoritarian with his illegal, unconstitutional & tyrannical federal vaccine mandate. Over 80 million Americans – myself included – now face this harrowing choice: the jab or my job. Biden’s regime has now become a dictatorship,” wrote conservative radio host Jeff Kuhner, adding the hashtag #IwillNOTComply.

“Livestock are involuntary medicated,” said conservative political cartoonist Ben Garrison. “People are NOT livestock. #IwillNOTComply.”

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger and podcast host Tim Pool both said they would not comply with the vaccine mandate.

There were also dozens of Twitter users who used the “IWillNotComply” hashtag to mock conservatives who could lose their jobs over the vaccine mandates and even celebrated that there could be job openings left by those forced to quit their jobs over mandatory vaccinations. Meanwhile, other social media users cheerfully claimed that the “IWillNotComply” supporters are doomed to die.
