University Suspends Over 700 Student IDs After They Failed to Submit Covid Test Results

Approximately 718 undergraduate, professional and graduate students at the University of Michigan found their ID badges were deactivated Monday following a campus health department assessment.

According to The Blaze:

The university requires all students who live, work, or learn on campus to undergo weekly coronavirus testing as a part of its “Community Sampling and Tracking Program.”

The students were notified about their new restricted status in an email after it was discovered that they had used their cards recently but had not completed a COVID-19 test in four or more weeks or did not have a prior test on file.

As student “Mcard” ID badges are required to enter virtually all buildings on campus, the suspension effectively prevents students from attending in-person classes.

No charges, no identity of shooting officer: Feds close probe of Ashli Babbitt’s death

The federal government said on Wednesday it has shut down its investigation into the shooting death of 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, a U.S. military veteran who was among hundreds protesting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Without charges. And without even identifying who shot her.

The Department of Justice issued a statement that did reveal it will “not pursue criminal charges against the U.S. Capitol Police officer.”

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia’s Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section and the Civil Rights Division, with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division (IAD), conducted a thorough investigation of Ms. Babbitt’s shooting” the statement said.

BLM Leader Calls For Investigation Into Co-Founder Spending Millions on Property in White Areas

The head of Black Lives Matter NYC has called for an investigation after it was revealed that BLM’s co-founder has been spending millions of dollars buying property in predominantly white neighborhoods.

As we highlighted last week, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors recently bought a $1.4 million dollar home in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, an area that has a black population of just 1.6 per cent.

That somewhat contradicts her message to others to “buy black.”

However, this was by no means Khan-Cullors’ only big real estate purchase.

She bought three other homes, including a “custom ranch” in Georgia surrounded by “3.2 rural acres” that features a “private airplane hangar with a studio apartment above it” in addition to an indoor swimming pool.

Man Radicalized by ‘Asian Hate Crime’ Media Propaganda Attacks Asian Woman He Mistakenly Thought Was White

A man who was radicalized by inaccurate media propaganda concerning a supposed wave of hate crimes targeting Asians blamed on white supremacy tried to take revenge by sexually assaulting a woman at gunpoint because he presumed she was white.

37-year-old Michael Sangbong Rhee was arrested by police in Lake Forest, California after he allegedly attacked a woman, who turned out to be Asian, “in retaliation for the rise in hate crimes against Asian people.”

“Irvine police say an Asian woman was sitting in the driver’s seat of her car near her apartment Thursday afternoon when she looked up to see Rhee standing at the door, holding a handgun. She told police she did not recognize Rhee, who ordered her to get into the back of her car if she wanted to live,” reports CBS Los Angeles.

“The woman said she offered Rhee her wallet and money, and he replied they would “do that later,” before getting into her car through the passenger side door and pushed her into the backseat, according to police. She struggled with Rhee, who she told police began to grope her, then yelled to a maintenance worker nearby that he had a gun.”

OnlyFans mom enlists 13-year-old daughter to take raunchy pics of her

U.K. pop star Kerry Katona — who now makes money by operating an OnlyFans account — recently revealed that she enlists her teenage daughter to snap racy photos of her to post online.

The former “Atomic Kitten” singer and 40-year-old mother of five reportedly told Closer Magazine on Sunday that her children don’t mind her “showing off” her body online for money. Her 13-year-old daughter, Heidi, even takes some of the pictures for her.

“Mums have as much right to show off their bodies as anyone else. I can do what I like with my body, as it belongs to me,” she told the tabloid. “My children know I do it and Heidi even takes some of the pictures of me for the site.”

Despite admitting she does worry her kids may get some “grief” for her decision to showcase explicit images of herself online, she justifies the move by arguing they would face the same pressure no matter what she decided to do with her life.

“I do worry about my children getting grief, but they’d also get it if I gave it all up and became a lollipop lady — I’m Kerry Katona at the end of the day,” she said.

NM Dem gov’s campaign pays at least $62K in settlement to ex-staffer who says she grabbed his crotch: report

The Albuquerque Journal reported Monday that documents show Lujan Grisham’s campaign has made four payments of $12,500 “as part of a settlement” with former campaign spokesman James Hallinan, who accused the governor of “pouring a bottle of water on his crotch and then grabbing his crotch through his clothes as she laughed, an incident he said took place in front of other campaign staffers.”

The outlet noted that Hallinan made the claims in late 2019, roughly a year after he left the campaign. The former ex-staffer says he was talked out of reporting the incident by the campaign manager, Dominic Gabello, who now serves as a senior adviser in the governor’s office.

Current campaign spokesman Jared Leopold told the newspaper that Gov. Lujan Grisham, Gabello, and the campaign organization itself “strenuously deny that there is any merit or truth to Mr. Hallinan’s claims, including his claims about difficulty finding or keeping work after the campaign.”
