After e-cigarette company Vapour, the Wall Street Journal reported that FDA ordered Juul devices banned by the District of Columbia on Friday was temporarily halted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Thursday’s FDA statement stated that the FDA has not received any clinical information that suggests an immediate hazard from Juul devices. However, it said that there is insufficient evidence to evaluate the potential toxicological hazards of the product.

Juul retorted on Friday, arguing it would “suffer significant irreparable damage.”

Juul stated that in our applications submitted more than two years ago, “we believe we adequately characterized the toxicological profiles of JUUL products including comparisons with combustible cigarettes, and that this data, together with the whole of the evidence, meets statutory standards of being ‘appropriate to the protection of public health.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Juul may file for bankruptcy if it cannot avoid FDA’s ban.

Democrat Elissa Slotkin Trails Republican Challenger Tom Barrett

0

Recent polls show that Republican state senator Tom Barrett could challenge incumbent Democrat Rep. Elissa slotkin (MI), as President Joe Biden’s approval ratings for job are still in decline.

Slotkin is two points ahead of Barrett, despite having a substantial advantage in name recognition. However, Republicans have an 11-point advantage on the generic ballot and Biden is 26 point underwater in the district that he won in his presidential campaign. Biden’s latest approval rating was the lowest ever nationally.

Politico first reported an internal poll by the National Republican Campaign Committee, which showed Barrett leading the incumbent at 46.1 percent to 44.6%, with 10.3 percent undecided.

The internal poll found that Slotkin’s vote is at below 50 percent. This is the lowest level she’s been at since she won the seat in 2018.

Barrett, an Army veteran who Slotkin attacked for his training with the Army, was elected to Michigan’s House in 2014. He was then elected to the State Senate in 2018. After the poll’s message testing, he showed a greater lead — in percent of voters choosing him.

After messaging testing, 51.9 percent indicated that they would vote to elect Barrett, and 41.9 percent indicated they would vote to elect the Democrat.

After testing, the polling matches that of the generic ballot for Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District. The generic ballot showed that 50.3 percent would vote for Republican candidates, and only 39.3% would vote for Democrat candidates. 10.4 percent said they were undecided.

In the congressional district, Biden’s approval of his job is low. While only 36.2 percent approve of Biden’s presidency, 62.5 percent disapprove. Only 1.3 percent were unconvinced.

Cygnal, in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District, conducted the NRCC’s intern poll from June 14-16. The poll surveyed 400 respondents in the district. There was a margin for error of plus/minus 4.70 percent.

Nationally, Biden’s approval rating fell to just 32 percent on CIVIQS’ rolling job-approval index last Saturday. This is the lowest of his presidency with a 57% disapproval. One in ten survey participants didn’t approve or disapprove.

Overall, Biden’s approval rating in 48 states is below average, including California, which is a dark blue state, and Delaware, his home state. His national net approval is negative 25.

Mike Berg, the spokesperson for NRCC, stated that Elissa Slotkin could do better if she did not spend too much time in Washington supporting Joe Biden’s massive tax increases and inflationary spending sprees.

House Passes Sweeping Gun Control Bill Amid Series Of Mass Shootings

0

With a vote of 234-193, Friday’s gun control bill was passed by the House of Representatives. This is Congress’s response to rising violence against guns across the country. The Senate approved the bill by a vote 65 to 33.

Following two mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas that left many dead and many others injured, 10 Senate Republicans began negotiations to pass legislation.

Despite being opposed by Republicans in Congress (including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and the House Republicans), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell supported it. He said that the bill would “help make these horrific events less likely while fully upholding Second Amendment Rights for law-abiding residents.” ”

Already, President Biden indicated that he would immediately sign the legislation. This legislation encourages states to adopt red flag laws and expand background checks. It also makes it easier for 18- to 21-year-olds to obtain background checks.

Soon-to-be law provides incentives for states that release sealed juvenile records. This could make it more difficult to buy a gun.

The bill also calls to close the “boyfriend loophole”, a demand Democrats have made for many years. If a partner is convicted of abuse, this would stop them from getting weapons.

The bill is the first Congressman to pass gun control legislation in decades. However, it might not have been enough to stop the mass shootings in Texas (and New York) in the past.

Both shooters had 18-years-old and had legally purchased AR-15-style rifles before their attacks.

Payton Gendron, who was charged with killing 10 people in Buffalo as well as injuring three others in an attack motivated by hate, was also accused. In 2021, he was assessed for mental issues.

The incident was not deemed a red alert.

“Where are the red flags that he was legally able to purchase these guns?” “Sheriff John Garcia, Erie County, New York, was reportedly interrogated following the shooting.

California Equity Director Blasts Parent Resisters to District’s Agenda in Leaked Meeting Notes

0

According to meeting notes, a California director for equity & inclusion in Poway Unified School District called parents who don’t agree with her agenda “resisters.”

JEDI, which stands for Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion, hosted the meeting. Casey Doan, the chair of the group, said that it was organized by the Palomar Council PTA within the Poway Unified Schools District. They claim that they work directly with the district, according to their website.

Doan posted the meeting notes which gave a rare glimpse into conversations behind closed doors.

Here are the Meeting notes (more of a summary than minutes). She said that she would continue to add to them, making this a living document.

At a Sept. 13, 2021 meeting, Dr. Shawntanet Jara, district equity director, was asked about her agenda. “How will you approach parents pushing back?”

According to Dr. Jara’s summary of the meeting, pushback is not new. It’s loud, but it’s not common. [L]ook for Org[anization] Transformation Theory: 20% resist, 20% wish that you had started 5 years ago, 60% floating in the middle. I focused my attention on those who were willing to move. This comes with a cost. It’s okay. I need to go to bed at night. I also need to be able to explain what I did in the service of children. I don’t want to make them change their minds. I am able to communicate that to those who resist. It doesn’t need to be argumentative. It’s simply factual. It’s okay to disagree.

We tried to reach Dr. Jara, but we did not get a reply.

The director was then asked if Carol Osborne (associate superintendent for the district) supports this approach.

According to the meeting summary, she stated that “There seems to be enough courage around right now to take it on.” Carol is open and honest about her equity position – it’s a lens through which we see everything. As a child, she didn’t feel like she belonged. She feels so strongly that she is the only child who feels this way. It gives me the confidence to move forward. I am not a box. This is my current feeling. Superintendent believes equity is not negotiable.

We have previously reported on Dr. Jara and Osborne’s emails to a parent who raised concerns about the equity curriculum. Dr. Jara refused to discuss the concerns of the parent and instead made “statements”.

She said, “I respect your point of view… I’ve learned that it’s futile to ‘debate or argue’ so I’ll make just a few statements.”

She said, “I was hired because the district is committed to equity and inclusion.” “Truth and equity are essential for true healing and progress”. “You can be sure that all facts regarding systemic racism in this country are supported by data so that you don’t have to worry about it”. “We are open to your concerns at any time. However, we will continue to do our best to ensure that PUSD is a district that offers equitable learning environments”. “This is what I want for my children as well as yours”.

Osborne, the associate superintendent, followed up by email blasting the parent for criticizing Dr. Jara’s experiences.

She stated, “I was shocked you questioned the oppression of Dr. Jara, who is Black.” She shares the same experiences of oppression that thousands of African Americans and others of color have. Your life experiences are likely to be very different than Dr. Jara’s and not reflect the oppression she experienced.

Osborne did not respond to our request.

Californians for Equal Rights Foundation filed an administrative complaint against the district accusing it of discrimination. Wenyuan Wu the executive director stated that the district does not “treat dissent or dissenters with an opened mind or even minimal tolerance.”

She said, “Parents or community members disagreeing about its teaching paradigms are often given bureaucratic runarounds. Sometimes parents were mocked and their concerns were ignored.

The previous statement from the district stated that parents are encouraged to give feedback. It also provided many opportunities for parents to engage in discussions. All meetings with parents are conducted respectfully by staff according to professional standards.

Key Players Identified In Break-In of Florida Mansion Worth $8 Million

Authorities have identified the “key people” in the Florida burglary. A group of more than 200 teens hosted an unannounced party in a Florida house on Friday.

“We’ve found the key players, and we’ll interview them today,” Walton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Corey Dobridnia told Fox News Digital.

She stated, “We are narrowing today who was the ringleader of this crime and who could be charged.”

Santa Rosa Beach’s owners were absent last Friday as a large party was held by a group. They consumed thousands of dollars of wine, liquor, and even $1500 worth of champagne.

They staged an impromptu boxing match in the foyer and stole many valuables, including a purse worth $3,500 from Yves Saint Laurent and a signed football of Peyton Manning (former Colts quarterback).

Most of the teens are local and some were given up by their parents, school officials, and neighboring police departments, Dobridnia said.

The unsanctioned house party was advertised on social media five days prior to the break-in. The locks on the accordion glass doors that lead to the backyard were pried off, then the front door was opened to let in the intruders, officials said.

The home has an alarm system that was armed at the time, according to Dobridnia. The upscale community of WaterColor also has a 24-hour security patrol. “It doesn’t matter our security system,” the owner said. “They came in my home illegally and uninvited.”

Police were called to address this after receiving noise complaints.

Fox reported previously that the owner was a stay-at-home mom who said, “It wasn’t the material objects, it’s the memories.”

Unwanted guests were discovered in every bedroom and tried on shoes and swimsuits.

She stated, “It was an absolute violation.” “The lakeside property had an infinity pool and was listed on Zillow at $7,950,000 before the rager.”

Any information is welcome from the authorities at Walton County Sheriff’s Office (850-892-8111), or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers (858863-TIPS).

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Drama Continues, Seeking Restraining Order Against Democrat Staffer

0

While not popular with many people on our team, I don’t like Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican Congresswoman, nor am I a fan of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) or Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), but I digress. Ah, just a bit more.

It is the constant need to pay attention to both Greene’s and Boeberts’ twin cases. Fangirling is a common response to this need. Greene announced Tuesday night she was filing a restraining order against a House Democrat staffer.

We previously reported that an employee was captured on security cameras destroying posters outside Greene’s Washington Office.

Greene stated that she felt compelled to request a protective order for Timothy Hysom, chief of staff to Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Jake Auchincloss. This was after the U.S. Attorney’s Office refused to issue a warrant to arrest and indict the staffer.

Nancy Pelosi is the Democratic leader and I don’t believe they can provide protection for me and my staff.

Matt Corridoni of Auchincloss stated that Hysom never threatened Greene or her staff. “Tim has never had direct contact with the congresswoman, and he doesn’t plan to.”

Greene asserts Hysom “continued to attack her for months.”

I didn’t even know who this person was that [sic] was continuing to attack me for months and months. And all I know is he refuses to apologize, He’s doubled down on what he has done.

Apology or not, Greene wants Hysom prosecuted, which is apparently not going to happen.

Although Tim Hysom was Jake Auchincloss’s chief of staff, he was captured by Capitol Police. However, the Department of Justice refused to prosecute him. In the video, Hysom attacked the sign, attacked my religion, and attacked my beliefs about protecting my district and gender.

They won’t bring him before a Judge. Nancy Pelosi won’t give me a secure security detail even though she has one for herself.

That’s what I don’t understand.

While I could not be more critical of the Democrat Party’s policies, principles, and practices, I am acutely aware and skeptical about all Democrat’s actions. Greene is also on the “political theater” charge. A non-relevant Democrat staffer placed stickers outside her office and she fears for her safety.

Nonsense — I call B.S. on that one.

The background via Just the News

Corridoni confirmed Monday, that Hysom had placed stickers on posters outside Greene’s office declaring that there are only two genders. He believed that the posters’ messages were cruel and needed to be removed.

According to the spokesperson, Hysom’s actions did not violate any laws. He stated that the request to have prosecutors file an arrest warrant against him was absurd.

“I didn’t even know who this person was that was continuing to attack me for months and months,” Greene said. “And all I know is he refuses to apologize. He’s doubled down on what he has done.”

According to just the news, Greene said that her fears have been exacerbated by the “fact” that she received 60 death threats in 2022. However, she was turned down to receive a personal security detail by Pelosi’s Democrat leadership.

The Democrats have their ever-self-aggrandizing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who cannot get enough attention regardless of how hard she tries –and damn, she sure does try. And the Republicans?

We’ll leave it at that for now.
