Supreme Court Rejects Appeal in COVID ‘Misinformation’ Case, but Doctors Say They Still Won

The U.S. Supreme Court this week declined to hear a key medical free speech case involving basketball hall-of-famer John Stockton and several doctors who alleged that the Washington Medical Commission’s (WMC) COVID-19 “misinformation” policies violated their First Amendment free speech rights.

The court declined, without comment, to review Stockton v. Brown — but only after the WMC lifted the disciplinary charges it had filed against two of the doctors in the case.

Plaintiffs included Drs. Richard Eggleston and Thomas T. Siler, who were sanctioned by the WMC for their pandemic-related speech, and Dr. Daniel Moynihan, who alleged the WMC’s threats “chilled” his speech on pandemic-related topics.

Stockton, co-host of “The Ultimate Assist Podcast,” and Children’s Health Defense (CHD) were also plaintiffs. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and WMC Executive Director Kyle S. Karinen, a lawyer, were the defendants.

In May 2024, a federal court dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the First Amendment doesn’t protect physicians’ public speech because it is part of medical conduct.

In November 2024 and again in January 2025, the Supreme Court rejected emergency requests for a stay.

In September 2025, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal but did not consider the First Amendment questions in the case. The plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court.

Attorney Rick Jaffe, who represented the plaintiffs, called the Supreme Court’s choice not to hear the case “outrageous.”

But Jaffe said the unreported part of the story is what happened the month before, when the WMC withdrew its statement of charges against Eggleston and Siler, which he called a victory.

“Withdrawal of those charges was the main practical goal of the state litigation concerning these doctors and this federal case … once the Commission rescinded the charges, that was the win,” Jaffe said.

Murphy’s True Allegiance: Illegal Immigrants, Iran, And Ukraine Over American Citizens

From the fabricated Russia collusion narrative to two phony impeachments to his relentless defense of Obama’s catastrophic 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has been a consistent opponent of American interests. He is one of the Senate’s most vocal proponents for counting millions of illegal immigrants in the census. It is a deceitful and unconstitutional scheme that steals congressional seats and electoral votes from real American citizens.

Murphy actively works to grant political power to millions who illegally crossed our southern border by counting them in the census. This scheme effectively hands extra congressional seats and Electoral College votes to blue states like California and New York, bypassing law-abiding citizens in red states. Far from protecting American sovereignty, Murphy celebrates it as a brilliant political power grab.

Senator Chris Murphy proves that feminism is nothing more than a selective political prop. While Iran stones women, hangs girls for improper clothing, and treats them as property, Murphy has refused to get tough on the ayatollahs. Instead, he viciously attacked President Trump’s strikes against the regime, branding them “illegal,” and has pushed war powers resolutions to limit America’s response to Iranian threats.

91% of Flu Vaccine Recipients Shed Chimeric Lab-Made Vaccine Virus, Raising Transmission Concerns: NIH-Funded Journal ‘Clinical Infectious Diseases’ Study

A newly published, U.S. government-funded, peer-reviewed study has confirmed that a live attenuated influenza vaccine caused detectable post-vaccination viral shedding in more than 91% of adult recipients, raising major questions about whether vaccinated individuals function as carriers and spreaders of vaccine-derived influenza pathogens after immunization.

The findings, published Thursday in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, claim that the purported virus inside the vaccine actively replicated inside recipients after administration and was subsequently shed from the nose in the overwhelming majority of participants.

Researchers from George Washington University evaluated 283 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who received the intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV), FluMist, during the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 flu seasons.

The new paper explicitly states:

“LAIV replication begins within 24 hours and declines over the first week…”

Researchers further explained that the virus in the vaccine:

“replicates in the upper respiratory tract, mimicking a natural infection…”

In plain English, the vaccine virus reproduces inside recipients and is expelled back out through the nose afterward.

Researchers collected nasal swabs on day 1, days 2–4, and days 5–7 after vaccination and measured influenza A and B RNA using RT-PCR testing.

Georgia Data Center Secretly Used 29 Million Gallons of Water, Exposed by Residents’ Low Water Pressure

A major data center campus in Fayette County, Georgia, drew nearly 30 million gallons of water through unmetered connections before the issue surfaced due to complaints of low water pressure from nearby homeowners, county officials said.

The discovery, first reported by Politico, centers on the sprawling 615-acre QTS data center development located about 20 miles south of Atlanta. Quality Technology Services (QTS), owned by Blackstone, operates the site, which is one of the largest data center projects in the United States.

Fayette County investigators found that the campus had been pulling water through two connections the county was unaware of and had not properly billed. As a result, QTS was issued retroactive charges totaling $147,474. County officials estimated the unmetered usage covered roughly four months, while the company maintained the period was between nine and 15 months.

Vanessa Tigert, director of the Fayette County Water System, attributed the oversight to an administrative error that occurred during the county’s transition to smart meters.

“Fayette County is a suburb, it’s mostly residential, and we don’t have much commercial meters in our system anyway,” Tigert said. “And so we didn’t realize our connection point wasn’t working.”

A QTS spokesperson confirmed the company paid the retroactive charges immediately upon notification and said the unmetered usage stemmed from the county’s meter system upgrade.

No fines were issued. County officials emphasized they are maintaining a cooperative relationship with the developer.

The Fayetteville campus currently includes 13 buildings encompassing approximately 6.2 million square feet. It is part of a larger planned development that could eventually include up to 16 buildings.

The incident highlights growing tensions nationwide over the resource demands of data centers. Communities across the U.S. have become increasingly vocal about the strain these facilities place on local water supplies and electrical grids, leading to heightened opposition to new projects.

In a separate but related development, an Indianapolis City-County Council member’s home was shot at in April shortly after he supported rezoning for a data center project. The attack on Ron Gibson came days after a 6–2 vote approving the nearly 14-acre facility in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood.

The Illusion of Tax Relief In Miami-Dade County

In Miami-Dade County, tax relief has become something to celebrate first and question later. Any reduction tied to homestead taxes is framed as a win, a sign that government is finally easing the burden on homeowners. But that celebration rests on a convenient omission. When revenue disappears, obligations do not.

Local governments still fund infrastructure, public safety, education and social services. Cutting one stream of revenue does not eliminate those responsibilities. It simply shifts the burden elsewhere, often in ways that are less visible and far more difficult for taxpayers to track. In Miami-Dade County, that shift is not hypothetical. It is already built into the system.

Florida has aggressively expanded charter schools while preserving the same local property tax structure that funds traditional government-operated public education. School boards continue to collect taxes from homeowners, including those with homestead protections. But those funds no longer support a single, locally-governed system. Under Florida law, public school districts are required to share certain capital outlay funds with charter schools (Fla. Stat. § 1013.62).

The result is a structural contradiction: taxation remains local and mandatory, while control over how those funds are used becomes increasingly fragmented.

For taxpayers, especially older homeowners on fixed incomes, the obligation does not change. They continue paying into a system that has evolved beyond what many originally understood it to be. This is not a reduction in taxation. It is a redistribution of taxation.

Woman Indicted for Attempted Arson at Texas Republican Party Headquarters, Left Note Saying ‘F*CK DJT, F*CK ICE’

A 22-year-old woman has been federally indicted for attempting to burn down the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters.

According to federal prosecutors, Grace Carol Brown broke a window at the building on Landa Street on January 14, threw a backpack containing ethanol, gasoline, a lighter, and matches inside, attempted to climb through the broken window, and when that failed, lit a rolled-up magazine on fire and tossed it into the structure.

A small fire caused minor damage, but no one was injured.

Employees discovered the damage when they arrived for work.

Investigators also found a note at the scene in which Brown allegedly expressed extreme hostility toward the Republican Party, ICE, and federal officials.

Court documents and multiple reports describe the note as saying, “Report this: I burned down the Nazi Party of NB’s office. F-CK DJT F-CK ICE, Liberty or die.”

Additional writings found in the backpack called Republican officials “Enemies of the U.S. Constitution.”

The DOJ explained in a press release:

An investigation determined that Brown displayed antipathy through writings and actions, toward the goals and activities of the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters, law enforcement elements of the United States government to include ICE, and certain Executive Branch officials whom she allegedly referred to as “Enemies of the U.S. Constitution.”

Brown was arrested on January 22 by New Braunfels Police and the FBI.

If the COVID vaccine benefit was so large, why can’t we detect it in the Czech record level data?

Executive summary

In a fixed-cohort analysis anchored to ISO week 2021-24 (baseline window 2021-24 to 2021-40), vaccinated all-cause mortality rose from 23.297 to 31.190 deaths per 100,000 person-weeks (RR 1.3388, +33.9%), while unvaccinated mortality rose from 13.017 to 17.625 (RR 1.3541, +35.4%). The unvaccinated-to-vaccinated ratio of rate ratios was 1.011 (95% interval 0.985 to 1.039), with male (1.003) and female (1.021) values also close to parity. The two groups did not have equal baseline risk: in many birth-year bands, unvaccinated baseline ACM rates were more than twice vaccinated rates. Nonetheless, the wave-period rise, expressed relative to each cohort’s own baseline, remained near parity, so a stable vaccinated all-cause mortality advantage is not observed in this fixed-cohort specification. This is an observational comparison and should not be interpreted as a causal effect estimate.

In other words, it didn’t work.

My open offer

If you think my analysis methodology of the Czech data using ACM differential cohort mortality during COVID v non-COVID is wrong, then please post the correct method and what it shows. The Czech data has been publicly available for nearly 2 years. If I’m wrong, why hasn’t anyone posted the proper analysis of the data showing a benefit?

I even applied the method used in Palinkas to the Czech data and the results were virtually identical to the method I used.

  • Pálinkás used regression-adjusted epidemic-vs-nonepidemic HR ratios.
  • We used fixed cohorts, person-weeks, and all-cause wave/baseline mortality ratio

So two completely different methods, same result. No discernable benefit.

Progressives Want Us To Live In An Age Of Pretend

The word “pretend” is defined as speaking or acting so as to make it appear that something is the case when, in fact, it is not. Isn’t that exactly what much of America is being asked to do today by the mainstream media, progressive politicians and woke celebrities?

We are being pressured to pretend to believe things that defy logic and common sense. If we refuse, we risk being labeled racist, bigot, Nazi, homophobic, fascist, climate denier—or worse.

During the Biden Administration, we were told to pretend that inflation was “transitory” and not a serious problem, even as prices soared. We were instructed to ignore “our lying eyes” and accept that everything was under control. For example:

  1. We were expected to pretend that the southern border was secure, despite more than 15 million illegal migrants entering the country and a record amounts of deadly drugs being smuggled in by Mexican cartels.
  2. We were urged to pretend that abandoning reliable fossil fuels in favor of intermittent “green energy” would solve global warming.
  3. And we were told to embrace the notion that biological males could become women, compete in women’s sports, and that sex is a fluid social construct rather than a biological reality.

Common sense had been replaced by partisan politics in service of a progressive agenda — one that asks us to pretend that wrong is right and that reality itself is negotiable.

A striking example occurred at Stanford Law School, where radical students shouted down an invited Federal Appeals Court judge, falsely labeling him anti-LGBTQ and a bigot. Instead of upholding free speech principles, a law school administrator appeared to pretend that the students had done nothing wrong, and even berated the judge. The irony was lost on no one: students claiming to exercise their own free speech rights were actively denying that same right to a invited speaker. These are future lawyers and judges who will one day swear an oath to uphold the Constitution — including the First Amendment. Yet the left asks us to pretend this behavior was legitimate “dissent.”

The word “pretend” has taken on new prominence in recent years. A vocal segment of the political left — particularly in media, academia and the Democrat Party — routinely inverts logic. Consider just a few examples:

  1. A Supreme Court nominee who, when asked to define “woman” during her confirmation hearing, claimed that she could not, because she was not a biologist.
  2. Militant activists insisting that biological males should compete in women’s sports.
  3. Calls to abolish ICE and leave the border wide open.
  4. Denials of massive fraud in government programs, even when the evidence is overwhelming.
  5. And the reflexive, knee-jerk opposition to anything President Trump says or does — a condition often diagnosed as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Some observers believe this unhinged hostility has contributed to the three assassination attempts against him in less than two years.

We were also told to pretend that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was a “success,” even though it left American citizens and Afghan allies stranded under Taliban rule and abandoned billions of dollars in military equipment to America’s enemies.

Angry Left plots to purge Virginia’s high court

After the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the results of the recent Democratic effort to effectively wipe out Republican representation in the state, Democratic pundits and activists have latched onto a proposal by Michigan State law professor Quinn Yeargain to gut the court by forcing the retirement of the current justices, appointing liberal activists, and then reversing the opinion. It is extremely telling that some are pushing the raw muscle play to retake power in Washington, particularly in light of the calls to pack the United States Supreme Court once the party is back in control.

Professor Yeargain declared on Substack that there is “a simple – and lawful – solution: Send the entire court into early retirement.” Under this plan, Virginia Democrats would adopt an absurdly low age for retirement in a gut-and-pack scheme: Yeargain suggested that they could set “the mandatory retirement of justices and judges after they reach a prescribed age, beyond which they shall not serve, regardless of the term to which elected or appointed.”

The current retirement age is 73.

Yeargain dismisses that number as “arbitrary” and says that the Democrats need only to “Make it 54 for Supreme Court justices – the age of the youngest justice, Stephen McCullough, who joined the majority opinion – and make it take effect immediately.”

Pete Hegseth Accuses Democrat Senator Mark Kelly of ‘Blabbing’ About ‘Classified’ Briefing

U.S. Department of War (DOW) Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) may be in deep trouble for comments he made over a classified Pentagon brief.

In a social media post on Sunday, Hegseth shared a post from Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan in which she detailed Kelly’s comments regarding U.S. weapons stockpiles.

“After hearing the Pentagon classified brief on Iran war impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles, Senator Mark Kelly says it is ‘shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines.’ He said the Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD rounds, Patriot rounds, so those interceptor rounds to defend ourselves have been hit hard. He says it’ll take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical U.S. conflict with China,” Brennan reported.

In response, Hegseth criticized the senator, who is a retired U.S. Navy captain, and said officials were taking action.
