REPORT: New York’s Vaccine Passport Has ‘Massive Security Flaws,’ Barely Functional
New York’s “Excelsior Pass” vaccine passport program has “massive security flaws,” with user reviews “hammering” the app for its total “dysfunction.”
In his newsletter, “The Dossier,” Jordan Schachtel revealed the total dysfunction of New York’s “Excelsior Pass” vaccine passport system. Built in conjunction with IBM, the Excelsior Pass was based off of the company’s “Digital Health Pass” system, which Schachtel describes as being “incredibly impractical, and incredibly easy to manipulate.”
The system is “incredibly rigid,” he writes, noting that not only does it take two weeks for the system to recognize that you have been fully vaccinated, but that many people who have been vaccinated will not even be on their database to begin with. Anyone who received a vaccine from out of state, or who took a private at home test kit not on the New York central database, will not be on their system, as there is absolutely zero communication with any other database.
These 5 states have nearly half of nation’s new COVID-19 cases
Nearly half of the nation’s new COVID-19 cases are concentrated in just five states — including New York, which had the highest number of new infections across the country last week, data show. Together, New York, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey accounted for 44 percent of all new infections between March 29 and April…
CDC: Soap and Detergent Enough to Reduce Spread of COVID-19 in Most Cases
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that normal household cleaners and soap are adequate to use to clean indoor surfaces and disinfectants are only necessary if someone in the home has been sick with the virus. “In most situations, regular cleaning of surfaces with soap and detergent, not necessarily disinfecting those surfaces, is enough to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread,” said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at Monday’s White House coronavirus briefing. “Disinfection is only recommended in indoor settings—schools and homes—where there has been a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 within the last 24 hours,” she added. Besides disinfecting indoor surfaces after someone has been sick, Walensky recommended taking continued precautions of wearing a mask and socially distancing to prevent the spread of the virus. She noted that the infection rate for the most recent 7-day period is up 3 percent from the last 7-day period. She …

Fairfax: McAuliffe ‘treated me like George Floyd’ after assault claims surfaced
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) accused fellow gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (D) of treating him “like George Floyd and Emmett Till” when the former governor called on Fairfax to resign after sexual assault allegations against him surfaced in 2019.
Fairfax made the charge during a gubernatorial debate on Tuesday night while standing alongside McAuliffe and several other Democratic candidates.
“Everyone on that stage called for my immediate resignation, including Terry McAuliffe three minutes after a press release came out,” Fairfax said at the debate, which was hosted by CBS 6. “He treated me like George Floyd. He treated me like Emmett Till. No due process. Immediately assumed my guilt.”
Here’s The Far-Left’s Plan To Take Over Every Federal Court Over Republican Objection
Progressives have long advocated packing the Supreme Court, but a recent plan proposed by far-left judicial activists calls on Senate Democrats to add hundreds of new federal judges to the lower courts through the procedural tactic of reconciliation.
Yale Law School professor Samuel Moyn and Take Back the Court director Aaron Belkin sent a memo March 29 to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Senate Democrats in favor of expanding federal appellate and district courts through reconciliation.

Man accused of trying to extort Max Gaetz admits he asked for cash
The man accused of trying to extort $25 million from Rep. Matt Gaetz’s family admitted Monday that he asked the congressman’s dad for cash — but denied that it was a shakedown.
Bob Kent, an ex-Air Force intelligence officer, confirmed to Sirius Radio host Michael Smerconish that he approached the Florida Republican’s dad, Don Gaetz, for money last month.
The funds, Kent said, were to pay for an effort to free Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007, and is believed to be dead. Kent claimed he has video evidence that Levinson is still alive and is being held hostage.
Kent said he met Don Gaetz, a wealthy former Florida politician, at his office on March 17 — and told him his son was having “legal issues” and might want to “generate good will” by helping with the rescue effort.
“I explained that in no way am I trying to extort him and that if he decides not to help us, he’ll never hear from me again,” Kent told Smerconish.
“Matt Gaetz is in need of good publicity, and I’m in need of $25 million to save Robert Levinson,” he added.
Kent insisted that his intention wasn’t to blackmail the Gaetz family.
New York Times Writers May Have Deceived Readers in Stories About Project Veritas: Court
Writers for the New York Times may have spread deceptive claims about the nonprofit journalism group Project Veritas, a judge ruled this week. In stories from 2020 about Project Veritas videos, writers Maggie Astor and Spencer Hsu inserted sentences that were opinions despite the articles being billed as news, New York Supreme Court Justice Charles Wood said. “If a writer interjects an opinion in a news article (and will seek to claim legal protections as opinion) it stands to reason that the writer should have an obligation to alert the reader, including a court that may need to determine whether it is fact or opinion, that it is opinion,” Wood wrote in a 16-page decision denying the paper’s request to dismiss a lawsuit from Project Veritas. “The Articles that are the subject of this action called the Video ‘deceptive,’ but the dictionary definitions of ‘disinformation’ and ‘deceptive’ provided by defendants’ counsel …

“It was also sad from the point of view that we don’t have freedom of the press anymore. . . I think the censoring . . . when they (the mainstream media & Big Tech) didn’t show . . . all the things that were happening with Hunter (Biden) . . . it’s been fake (the news coverage & social media) for a long time. . . it used to be fake where they’d come up and I’d come up and you’d fight. . . and the public can believe one way or the other.” ~ Donald J.

Analysis: The Stated Goals of the Black Lives Matter Impact Report
by Kevin Mooney
Political activists who call for defunding police and ending what they call systemic racism used the banner of Black Lives Matter to raise tens of millions of dollars and launch a political action committee, according to the main organization’s “2020 Impact Report.”
The 42-page report declares victories in the election of two Democrats to the U.S. Senate in Georgia’s runoffs as well as three Democrats to the U.S. House from Texas, New York, and Missouri.
The report credits the new PAC for coordinating get-out-the-vote efforts. The main Black Lives Matter organization also entered the legislative fray for the first time while making generous grants to allied organizations.
In an introduction, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors says the radical organization believes that “white supremacy is currently sanctioned by our systems and even by some of our elected officials.”
Black Lives Matter raised $90 million in 2020 from corporations, other organizations, and individuals, with an average donation at $30.64 and more than 10% of donations recurring, according to the report.
The report says Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation had $8.4 million in operating expenses in 2020 while disbursing $217 million in grants to more than 33 other organizations.– – –

GOP Congressman Says Fauci Needs To Answer For Why His Agency Bypassed Oversight Of Funding To Wuhan Lab
- Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said it is “very concerning” that the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases bypassed oversight of a research grant that involved the transfer of $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to modify bat-based coronaviruses.
- “When it comes to oversight of U.S. tax dollars headed to the Chinese Communist Party, Dr. Fauci seems like he’s literally whistling past the graveyard,” Perry told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
- Experts said the NIAID’s grant involved gain-of-function research on coronaviruses, but a federal review board that exists to scrutinize such research was never notified of the grant.

Gov. Kemp Makes Powerful Point About Cancel Culture, Unloads on Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams
Now here’s a pissed-off Gov. Kemp with a warning to all other states. Cancel culture is coming for them too unless they start nutting up.
In the middle of a pandemic, Major League Baseball put the wishes of Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden ahead of the economic well-being of hard-working Georgians who were counting on the All-Star Game for a paycheck. Georgians and all Americans should know what this decision means. It means cancel culture and partisan activists are coming for your business. They’re coming for your game or your event in your hometown. And they’re coming to cancel everything from sports to how you make a living. They will stop at nothing to silence all of us. They don’t care about jobs, They don’t care about our communities. And they certainly don’t care about access to the ballot box. Because if they did, Major League Baseball would have announced they were moving their headquarters fron New York yesterday.
Let’s take a breath because this next part is important. I want you to think how many activists in the New York media and/or who went on the New York media repeated the talking point that Georgia’s law was Jim Crow 2: Electric Boogaloo. That was the main lie that is causing companies to take a stand about a bill they didn’t read.
In New York, they have ten days of early voting. In Georgia, we have a minimum of seventeen.
In New York, you have to have an excuse to vote by absentee. In Georgia, you can vote by absentee for any reason.
It’s easier to vote in Georgia than it is in New York.
Georgia tightening some voter laws STILL makes it easier to vote in Georgia than it is in New York. If companies like MLB and Delta and Coke really care about access to the ballot box, they would announce they will stop doing business in New York.
