of the Supreme Court.
AOC and other lawmakers were escorted away for blocking the street in an ‘abortion rights’ demonstration.
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar wants everyone to think she’s a total rebel.
As reported earlier, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pretended to be arrested on Tuesday as Capitol Police escorted her away for blocking traffic outside of the Supreme Court.
.
Ilhan Omar joined drama queen AOC and pretended to be cuffed too.
What a circus.
Ilhan Omar walked with her hands behind her back as Capitol Police trailed far behind at a demonstration for ‘abortion rights.’
At one point Ilhan Omar turned around to make sure the Capitol Police
were nearby before breaking free from her cuffs and put up a fist.
Antifa can be regularly relied upon to pick on those who are unable to defend themselves.
Whether it be elderly citizens, innocent protesters or local business owners, typically, antifa isn’t met with much resistance.
Well, that story changed on Saturday when a group of antifa extremists made a big mistake.
This time, they attempted to victimize a group that had no qualms about fighting back.
According to The Post Millenial, members of antifa attempted to shut down Honky Tonk Bar in Salem, Oregon, through the use of a “direct action.”
This was indeed a band of dangerous people.
One member of the antifa
crowd was Clifford Eiffler-Rodriguez, a man “previously arrested for
allegedly assaulting a female police officer at a violent Salem protest
on Aug. 10, 2021, when Antifa gathered to attack participants of a
street church protest outside Planned Parenthood,” The Post Millenial
reported.
However, the crowd at Honky Tonk was a bit rougher than the pro-life activists one would find in a church congregation.
The bar is known for being frequented by bikers.
When the antifa member’s “direct action” began, many such bikers came out to greet the masked antifa members.
The exchange ended with an embarrassing defeat.
The Post Millenial’s editor-at-large, Andy Ngo, posted a video of the exchange on his Twitter account.
WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive.
If you kick enough hornets’ nests, eventually you’re going to get stung.
Antifa learned that the hard way.
Unfortunately for the far-left extremists, this exchange may not be the end of their trouble.
Various Oregon-based motorcycle clubs are now teaming up against the group.
“The confrontation appears to have now ignited a feud between Antifa
and members of various Oregon motorcycle clubs,” The Post Millenial
reported.
Hopefully, these guys will think twice before taking on another biker bar.
Dr. Levine, a biological male who claims to be a woman, is the
transgender face of the Biden Regime’s push for surgical and chemical
castration of children.
A Trump-appointed judge in Tennessee temporarily blocked Biden’s
woke LGBTQ policy on Friday, including transgender workers and students
to use gender-appropriate bathrooms, and participate in sports teams,
Reuters reported.
U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. ruled in favor of the 20
state attorneys general who sued the Biden administration saying the
directives infringe on states’ freedom to establish laws governing
transgender.
Dr. Levine was one of the health care leaders who delivered remarks on climate change on Monday.
Makes sense.
“The federal government is full speed ahead to confront the climate
change emergency. At the Department of Health and Human Services, we are
focused on its catastrophic and chronic threats to health,” Levine
said.
“We really want to base our treatment and to affirm and to support
and empower these youth, not to limit their participation in activities
and sports and even limit their ability to get gender affirmation
treatment in their state,” Dr. Levine said after a judge blocked Biden’s
woke LGBTQ policy.

Last month Dr. Levine said sex reassignment surgery (castration) and
puberty blockers (chemical castration) for KIDS is “lifesaving,
medically necessary, age appropriate, and a critical tool.”
Biden’s woke transgender Health Secretary Rachel Levine is after our children.
After
the coronavirus pandemic and the rise of monkeypox cases, news of
another virus can trigger nerves globally. The highly infectious Marburg
virus has been reported in the West African country of Ghana this week,
according to the World Health Organization.
Two unrelated people
died after testing positive for Marburg in the southern Ashanti region
of the country, the WHO said Sunday, confirming lab results from Ghana's
health service. The highly infectious disease is similar to Ebola and
has no vaccine.
Health
officials in the country say they are working to isolate close contacts
and mitigate the spread of the virus, and the WHO is marshaling
resources and sending specialists to the country.
"Health
authorities have responded swiftly, getting a head start preparing for a
possible outbreak. This is good because without immediate and decisive
action, Marburg can easily get out of hand," said the WHO's regional
director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti.
Fatality rates from the disease can reach nearly 90%, according to the WHO.
Here's what we know about the virus:
- - -
What is the Marburg virus?
Marburg
is a rare but highly infectious viral hemorrhagic fever and is in the
same family as Ebola, a better-known virus that has plagued West Africa
for years.
The Marburg virus is a "genetically unique zoonotic . .
. RNA virus of the filovirus family," according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. "The six species of Ebola virus are the
only other known members of the filovirus family."
Fatality rates range from 24% to 88%, according to the WHO, depending on the virus strain and quality of case management.
Marburg
has probably been transmitted to people from African fruit bats as a
result of prolonged exposure from people working in mines and caves that
have Rousettus bat colonies. It is not an airborne disease.
Once
someone is infected, the virus can spread easily between humans through
direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected people such as blood,
saliva or urine, as well as on surfaces and materials. Relatives and
health workers remain most vulnerable alongside patients, and bodies can
remain contagious at burial.
The first cases of the virus were
identified in Europe in 1967. Two large outbreaks in Marburg and
Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, led to the initial
recognition of the disease. At least seven deaths were reported in that
outbreak, with the first people infected having been exposed to Ugandan
imported African green monkeys or their tissue while conducting lab
research, the CDC said.
- - -
Where has Marburg been detected?
The
Ghana cases are only the second time Marburg has been detected in West
Africa. The first reported case in the region was in Guinea last year.
The virus can spread quickly. More than 90 contacts, including health
workers and community members, are being monitored in Ghana. The WHO
said it has also reached out to neighboring high-risk countries to put
them on alert.
Cases of Marburg have previously been reported
elsewhere in Africa, including in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of
Congo, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The largest outbreak killed
more than 200 people in Angola in 2005.
The virus is not known to
be native to other continents, such as North America, and the CDC says
cases outside Africa are "infrequent." In 2008, however, a Dutch woman
died of Marburg disease after visiting Uganda. An American tourist also
contracted the disease after a Uganda trip in 2008 but recovered. Both
travelers had visited a well-known cave inhabited by fruit bats in a
national park.
- - -
What are the symptoms?
The
illness begins "abruptly," according to the WHO, with a high fever,
severe headache and malaise. Muscle aches and cramping pains are also
common features.
In Ghana, the two unrelated individuals who died
experienced symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting. One
case was a 26-year-old man who checked into a hospital on June 26 and
died a day later. The second was a 51-year-old man who went to hospital
on June 28 and died the same day, the WHO said.
In fatal cases,
death usually occurs between eight and nine days after onset of the
disease and is preceded by severe blood loss and hemorrhaging, and
multi-organ dysfunction.
The CDC has also noted that around day
five, a non-itchy rash on the chest, back or stomach may occur. Clinical
diagnosis of Marburg "can be difficult," it says, with many of the
symptoms similar to other infectious diseases such as malaria or typhoid
fever.
- - -
Can Marburg be treated?
There are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat the Marburg virus.
However,
supportive care can improve survival rates such as rehydration with
oral or intravenous fluids, maintaining oxygen levels, using drug
therapies and treating specific symptoms as they arise. Some health
experts say drugs similar to those used for Ebola could be effective.
Some "experimental treatments" for Marburg have been tested in animals but have never been tried in humans, the CDC said.
Virus
samples collected from patients to study are an "extreme biohazard
risk," the WHO says, and laboratory testing should be conducted under
"maximum biological containment conditions."

Anything else to know?
The
WHO said this week it is supporting a "joint national investigative
team" in Ghana and deploying its own experts to the country. It is also
sending personal protective equipment, bolstering disease surveillance
and tracing contacts in response to the handful of cases.
More details are likely to be shared at a WHO Africa online briefing scheduled for Thursday.
"It
is a worry that the geographical range of this viral infection appears
to have spread. This is a very serious infection with a high mortality
rate," international public health expert and professor Jimmy Whitworth
of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine told The
Washington Post on Monday.
"It is important to try to understand
how the virus got into the human population to cause this outbreak and
to stop any further cases. At present, the risk of spread of the
outbreak outside of Ashanti region of Ghana is very low," he added.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is continuing its
investigation into various disease outbreaks linked to food as the
number of people getting sick has been gradually rising.
There have been a total of 15 investigations into food-borne
illnesses conducted by the FDA this year. Out of those 15, four have
already ended and nine are ongoing.
In five of the nine outbreaks that are still active, the pathogen sources responsible have not yet been identified by the FDA.
One outbreak of infections from E. coli O157:H7 has been declared
over with 10 patients identified. The investigation status remains
“open” according to the agency. Traceback has been initiated in relation
to the outbreak but the FDA has not reported what food or foods are
involved.
Three other outbreaks from as yet unidentified sources have seen patient counts go up in the past week.
The count for an outbreak of Salmonella Braenderup in a not yet identified product has increased from 40 to 42.
The count for an outbreak of Salmonella Paratyphi B var. L(+)
tartrate+ in a not yet identified product has increased from 13 to 14.
The count for an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes in a not yet identified product has increased from 21 to 22.
An investigation of a hepatitis A outbreak linked to fresh
strawberries continues in the United States and Canada. In the U.S. 18
confirmed patients have been identified with 13 of them having been
hospitalized.
An investigation of Salmonella infections linked to Jif peanut butter
continues with the patient count standing at 16 with two
hospitalizations.
Below are foodborne illness outbreaks investigated by the FDA:
The FDA stated, “Outbreak and adverse event investigations that do
not result in specific, actionable steps for consumers may or may not
conclusively identify a source or reveal any contributing factors.
Adverse event investigations rely on self-reported data. Although these
reports may name a particular product, FDA will only indicate a product
category in the table and will not publicly name a specific product
until there is sufficient evidence to implicate that product as a cause
of illnesses or adverse events. If a cause and/or contributing factors
are identified that could inform future prevention, FDA commits to
providing a summary of those findings.”
This year, there have already been over 130 food and beverage products recalled
by the FDA. Of those 130 products, 31 were terminated due to listeria
contamination, salmonella, lead content, undeclared products, etc.
On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit reported that a popular vegan snack was recalled after hundreds of people fell ill and nearly 100 people were hospitalized.
Daily Harvest initiated a voluntary recall of its “French Lentil
& Leek Crumbles” frozen product, the FDA said, as lawsuits are filed
against the company.
Daily Harvest said it still can’t determine what is causing people to
become ill with “gastrointestinal illness and abnormal liver function.”
“Daily Harvest said that so far, testing has ruled out common
food-borne pathogens, major allergens, pesticide, Hepatitis A,
norovirus, and a range of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins. Aflatoxins
are a type of toxin produced by fungus that can grow on grains and
seeds.” NBC reported.
Also, TGP
reported earlier this month that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) raised the alarm over a mysterious listeria
outbreak that has sickened dozens of people across the country.
Florida-based Big Olaf Creamery ice cream was recalled due to the listeria outbreak in 10 states.
The outbreak spread to ten states: Florida, Colorado, Georgia,
Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and
Pennsylvania.
A 28-year-old Covid-19 contact tracer died suddenly at his apartment in Los Angeles due to heart failure.
Dominic Green worked as a contract employee for the Los Angeles
Department of Public Health, providing assistance to the city government
in the tracking of COVID-19 cases, according to Daily Mail.
“Green worked for Healthcare Staffing Professionals, a company that
has provided Los Angeles County with nearly 1,000 workers since the
pandemic began, with 80% working from home,” the news outlet reported.
Dominic is a medical epidemiologist who worked from home.
According to reports, he died suddenly at his home in bed and wasn’t found for days.
It was later discovered that Green died of cardiomyopathy, a
condition that can occasionally lead to sudden death, as reported by the
Los Angeles Times.
Breaking: 28-year-old black male, young healthy
fit, epidemiologists, dies suddenly of cardiomyopathy in his home in bed
and wasn’t found for days. So sad. Links below with articles. Rest in
peace Dominic green. So many I can’t keep up.

Dominic, who was single and lived alone, had started his position as
an epidemiologist in September, joining the 41% of white-collar workers
who were fully remote, spending their days at home in jobs that were
more disconnected and isolating than ever.
At the beginning and end of each shift, Dominic sent his bosses a mandatory email clocking in and out.
But the next day, a Thursday, Dominic didn’t send his 8 a.m. email.
He missed the 4:30 p.m. sign-out too. Friday also came and went with no
sign of Dominic.
Dominic’s parents, Joseph and Jeannine Green, who lived in Michigan,
didn’t hear from him over the weekend, but that was not unexpected; they
were used to waiting for texts from their busy son.
But by Monday, which was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, they grew worried.
Joseph checked their family cellular plan and saw Dominic’s phone had
been dark for five days. Jeannine checked their joint bank account and
saw it too showed no activity.
By the time Dominic’s body was discovered in his apartment Monday
night, he was unrecognizable and had to be identified by the few
fingerprints still visible on his hands.
