Since LA County's Barbara Ferrer is in the news b/c she's taking the illogical, unscientific, and destructive position that mask mandates need to continue, here are a few of my exclusives about her from May 2020. 1) Her Ph.D. is in "social welfare" redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And, she's simply an activist whose last job was "Chief Strategy Officer" for the Kellogg Foundation where she was involved in awarding grants to establish Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Centers at 14 colleges and universities throughout the US. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And don't miss this "Open Letter from Local Public Health Professionals on Los Angeles Pandemic:
Failing to Protect the Most Vulnerable" email that career public health MEDICAL professionals sent me since Babs forbid them from talking to Board of Sups. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And don't forget the time she told a group of school administrators on a secret call - that was then leaked to the press - that they didn't expect schools to open until after the Nov 2020 election. redstate.com/scotthounsell/…
EXCLUSIVE coming tomorrow at @RedState. 9-yr-old Kamdin Hernandez was 1st forced to do "independent study" ALONE on campus for peacefully refusing to wear a mask b/c doing so causes anxiety/panic+aggravates ADD. When being bullied by teachers and students he emailed his mom 🧵
At least one teacher was physically pulling the mask over his nose; he was asked by staff why he's so disrespectful- meaning simply by not wearing mask. Kids were yelling at him "just wear the mask." The school has now booted him off campus until he signs a behavioral contract.
They say their hands are tied by state policy; the school resource officer's attempting to help find a solution. Seriously, look how far away he is from the buildings. Terrible isolation; no learning! His parents have received a truancy warning. #unmaskourkids#letthembreathe
Our flight won't get in before customs closes in LA @JetBlue so we're not leaving Cancun... we have an entire plane full of people who need hotels and rebooking. I know you're all overworked but any help through app and Twitter DM is appreciated
Oh boy. We are now flying TOMORROW and they're putting us up but refuse to call it a canceled fight but only a delay. Still 2 hours to sit here until we have our bags and a bed
Aaaand apparently none of the bars in this airport have Fox. So no game. And the apps won't let us login b/c we're in México. Life was so good 3 hours ago lol
IMPORTANT: Hunter & Joe Biden's 12/2013 trip to Beijing coincided w/then-Ukraine Pres (and Biden friend) Yanukovych's trip to Beijing. Right after that Biden volunteered to be Obama admin point on "keeping Russia from devouring Ukraine," according to NYT redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Between 12/2013 and the time Yanukovych's government was toppled in Feb 2014, Biden spoke to him nine times, according to an AP report at the time. Hunter was in the process of being added to the board of Burisma, led by a Yanukovych ally nbcnews.com/storyline/ukra…
As we all know, this is also the time that Russia "annexed" Crimea, which Yanukovych half-heartedly decried from his exile in... Russia, where he was reportedly granted citizenship. Yanukovych was tried and convicted of treason in absentia in 2019. nytimes.com/2019/01/24/wor…
Also, the roomie and I are finally watching Bill Maher from last night and shouting at the TV
His comment on Sotomayor "You put a bunch of Boomers on the court and then wonder why they Boomer!"
I don't think Ritchie Torres was prepared for this appearance lol.. he's approaching it like a Sunday morning show appearance and just looking to say the normal Dem talking points and expecting applause
UPDATE on the Ted Lieu/proxy vote/Bermuda cruise story. Lieu missed the Build Back Better vote that was held during the time he was heading to the NYC cruise terminal for his luxury Thanksgiving cruise (yea vote cast by proxy), but there's more... redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
His campaign spent $8,600 on airfare in one day, August 3, 2021, just a few weeks after this special, limited-time cruise series was announced by Crystal Cruises. That's nearly half of what he spent this yr and 4x what he spent in all of 2020.
For contrast, Adam Schiff's campaign spent $6,000 on travel during the same time period in 2021. fec.gov/data/disbursem…
But I thought that the China Initiative was a racist Trump plot and was really just targeting"ethical violations" that universities and scientific journals should be monitoring (as a cover for racism, of course)? redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
This dude had the stones to claim he "forgot" that he brought bags of US cash back FROM China and had $200k in a Chinese bank account, and that he'd lied to his employer abt it all. THEN he sued Harvard for not standing by him, claiming they exploited him. Really. /2
Now his attorney is pulling the "terminally ill" card. Spare me.
Now which other researchers have been traveling back and forth to China with stacks of $100 bills in their bags? And how does the CCP get all this US currency? /3
