This is page 255 in the 1984 Federal Register which says you can’t question the safety of the polio vaccine, even if you are correct:
However, although the continued availability of the vaccine may not be in immediate jeopardy, any possible doubts, whether or not well founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccine will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nation’s public health objectives.
The United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives lacked the authority to finalize a rule banning the ownership of bump stocks.
The court determined en banc that bump stocks do not classify as "machineguns" as defined by federal law and therefore the ATF could not issue a ban on such products. A bump stock is a type of handle that may be affixed to a semi-automatic firearm. A user holds down the trigger and the gun's own recoil to effect a repetitive pulling of the trigger.
"A plain reading of the statutory language, paired with close consideration of the mechanics of a semi-automatic firearm, reveals that a bump stock is excluded from the technical definition of 'machinegun' set forth in the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act," the judges determined.
Gun shop owner and firearms trainer Michael Cargill brought the suit with the support of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, a non-profit civil rights group.
The ruling marks a significant win for Second Amendment advocates. The NCLA celebrated the decision, with President Mark Chenoweth saying "NCLA has been seeking to set aside this unlawfully promulgated regulation from the get-go. We are pleased that a circuit court has finally—and decisively—recognized that Congress must be the one to pass any bump stock ban."
President Biden is scheduled to visit to the U.S. southern border, Sunday, for the first time since he took office. Texas ranchers Laura Allen and Whit Jones hammered the Biden administration on "Fox & Friends Weekend" for a perceived lack of concern over the ongoing crisis. They insisted that Americans living along the border have "been screaming" for help for a long time.
"It just drives me crazy that the President can sit there and… talk about divisiveness in the government and kind of point a finger at Republicans as if they have not been doing anything to try to work on this issue," Jones, a rancher in Hebbronville, Texas said, Saturday.
"Our Republican governor here in Texas has been killing himself to try to deal with the situation. And we've been doing it on our own, basically, down here in Texas. And especially down here in these border counties. We need the government to step in and get to work on this issue."
There have been emerging concerns of myocarditis with Covid-19 vaccines recently which could be from inflammatory or immunogenic response to vaccine components or something else which is yet to be understood. The most common side effects of the vaccine noted in phase three trials were local reactions and few self-remitting systemic reactions. But we cannot overlook the emerging cardiac manifestations associated with COVID-19 vaccine. Here, we report a young healthy male presenting with atypical chest pain found with troponinemia most likely from myopericarditis, three days after his second dose of Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccine. He was placed on telemetry monitoring and was treated with Aspirin 81 mg, Colchicine 0.6 mg and Ibuprofen. Given his normal body mass index (BMI), renal function, lipids, d-Dimer, transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), computed tomography angiography (CTA) chest and non-specific findings in electrocardiogram (EKG), and the close temporal relationship of an inflammatory response to his second COVID-19 vaccination dose, we suspect that his cardiac pathology was a result of his response to vaccination and not to underlying atherosclerotic or embolic disease.
The Biden administration released some 180 million barrels of oil from America’s emergency stockpile ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, ostensibly to try to get a grip on the skyrocketing price of gas at the pump, with the reserve subsequently tumbling to its lowest levels since 1983.
Tasked with the purchase of three million barrels of sour crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in February, the US Department of Energy has reportedly rejected multiple offers from producers, hoping to get a better deal.
Informed sources told US business media that the offers the DoE has received so far have been turned down due to prices being deemed too high, and for failing to meet other requirements, which were not outlined in any detail.
The failure to get a deal means the purchase will be put off until an unspecified later date, the Energy Department has confirmed in a statement.
The U.S. Capitol Police arrested Micki Witthoeft, mother of Ashli Babbitt, on Capitol grounds on the two-year anniversary of the Capitol Hill Riot.
Babbitt is the only person killed during the riot.
Lt. Michael Byrd fatally shot the unarmed Babbitt when she tried to force her way into the Capitol Building.
The police claimed Witthoeft committed traffic violations:
The January 6 committee posted many records online but didn’t pay close enough attention.
The records included 2,000 Social Security numbers belonging to members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, visitors to the White House, Republicans, and even their family members:
While the spreadsheet with the numbers was taken down Wednesday, the high-profile nature of the people whose data was exposed probably puts them at an “elevated risk” because the information would be especially useful to intelligence agencies, said James Lee, chief operating officer of the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit organization that advises victims of identity crimes and compromises.
Lee recommended that people listed follow common tips for victims of identity crimes, including freezing their credit, using a multi-factor authentication app for their online accounts and setting up credit and account monitoring.Exposed individuals don’t appear to have been notified about the leak. The Government Publishing Office (GPO), which originally published the file, did not respond to a request for comment on whether it planned to notify people whose Social Security numbers were exposed.
Kevin McCarthy's popularity remains in the headlines each day that Congress pushes back on his bid to become speaker of the House.
Although McCarthy's rise to the top job in the House has been so far thwarted, there has been a consistent band of supporters behind him despite the drama.
However, claims on social media suggest that—in contrast to the relatively few fellow Republican members disapproving of him—the GOP's actual voter base is far less enamored with the party leader.
