A U.S. Navy warship has been left unable to deploy due to its commanding officer refusing the COVID vaccine on the grounds of religious objection. The news comes as ongoing legal battles have seen service members unite in lawsuits against the US government’s vaccine mandates. Despite a recent ruling from a federal judge that the unnamed commanding officer cannot be removed from his post after rejecting COVID-19 vaccines under religious exemption, Navy officials still refuse to deploy the ship. The preliminary injunction issued last month from Judge Steven D. Merryday prohibited the Navy and Marine Corps from performing disciplinary action
Federal Bureau of Investigation Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn refused to deny the FBI’s involvement in violence, encouraging violence, and inciting events at the Capitol on Jan. 6th, 2021, in Tuesday’s hearing in the U.S. Senate. When pushed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on the FBI’s involvement on Jan. 6th, Sanborn said, “I can’t answer that,” to almost every question. Cruz began by asking how many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th. To this, Sanborn replied, “Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods.”
Senator Ted Cruz is expected to lead a delegation of Republican senators who plan on objecting to certifying an Electoral College victory for Joe Biden and calling for an Electoral Commission to oversee the disputed states. The Texas Senator is joined by several of his Republican colleagues who noted in a statement that “voter fraud has posed a persistent challenge in our elections, although its breadth and scope are disputed.” The move appears to be taking a leaf of out of the left’s playbook. The notion of an electoral commission for the election was first mooted by the far-left Transition
Senator Ted Cruz has called on the Supreme Court to hear an emergency appeal on the Pennsylvania election discrepancies. The Texas legislator penned a statement today: “Today, an emergency appeal was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the election results in Pennsylvania. This appeal raises serious legal issues, and I believe the Court should hear the case on an expedited basis. “The Pennsylvania Constitution requires in-person voting, except in narrow and defined circumstances. Late last year, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that purported to allow universal mail-in voting, notwithstanding the Pennsylvania Constitution’s express prohibition. “This appeal argues that
Is there a link between white supremacy and abortion opposition? Although it may sound like a ridiculous idea, one Harvard law professor seems to believe it. Laurence Tribe is a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School. He claims that white supremacists “oppose abortion because they fear it’ll reduce the number of white infants and thus contribute to what they fear as non-white ‘replacement.’” White Supremacists oppose abortion because they fear it’ll reduce the number of white infants and thus contribute to what they fear as non-white “replacement.” Never underestimate the way these issues and agendas are linked. This
A tiny mob of leftists surrounded Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this week, but Cruz was unmoved. A 45-second clip circulating on Twitter shows some hecklers shouting various clichés and slogans as “We will not be silenced!” and “Free the children!” — an apparent reference to the crisis at the southern border. The hecklers appear to number only about a half dozen, with a larger crowd of bystanders filming the incident. Cruz, dressed in casual clothes, is unintimidated, smiling silently at the commotion. In fact, a young woman approaches to ask for his picture and
A poll was released earlier this week that provided a little bit of a shock for Republicans: according to Quinnipiac, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) holds only a 3-point lead over Democrat challenger Beto O’Rourke. The release of the poll immediately caused some panic on the Right as well as some frothing at the mouth on the Left (and among liberal Republicans who loathe Cruz for actually trying to hold them to conservative principles). O’Rourke is a darling of progressives as a young-ish, far-left, attractive face who can raise millions of dollars. They’re hoping that toppling a stalwart like Cruz will finally make
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in the hot seat in Congress this week, facing an hours-long interrogation by two Senate committees on Tuesday and another by a House committee on Wednesday. Zuckerberg was pressed on a number of issues, including data privacy, ad practices, and censorship of conservative content. The latter was badly needed, as new cases of Facebook unfairly censoring conservative and religious content pop up seemingly every week. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) grilled Zuckerberg during the first day’s hearing, asking whether Facebook has ever censored Planned Parenthood or MoveOn.org: Then Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) challenged Zuckerberg on why Facebook should
