Federal Court Rules For Woman Fired For Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine

Kaiser Permanente wrongly fired an employee who declined to receive a COVID-19 vaccine because she gave proper notice to the company of her religious objection to COVID-19 vaccination, a federal appeals court has ruled.

Mimi Weiss, who worked for Kaiser Permanente’s The Permanente Medical Group for 20 years before being fired, “plausibly alleged that she provided notice of her religious conflict with the mandate in her initial request for a religious exemption,” Circuit Judge Danielle Forrest wrote on July 24 for a unanimous panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Weiss was working fully remotely, or off-site, in August 2021 as a senior managerial consultant when Kaiser Permanente imposed a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Weiss, a Christian Jew, within weeks filed for a religious exemption, and Kaiser Permanente initially approved the request.

In September 2021, though, Kaiser Permanente said employees had submitted religious accommodation requests with identical language. Expressing concern that some of the requests were not legitimate, the company asked employees to file fresh requests using their own words. Officials then asked Weiss new questions, including, “What else besides the COVID-19 vaccine do you refuse to put in your body as a result of your religious belief?”

Weiss said she would not provide private information. Kaiser Permanente placed her on unpaid leave. Then it fired her for not complying with the mandate, prompting a lawsuit by Weiss.

A federal judge in 2024 ruled against her, concluding that Weiss had not provided Kaiser Permanente with sufficient notice of the conflict between receiving a vaccine and her beliefs.

The Ninth Circuit ruling overturns that decision, pointing to a previous opinion in which the appeals court said that to provide notice, an employee must only give “enough information about [her] religious needs to permit the employer to understand the existence of a conflict,” and that requiring any more details “would permit an employer to delve into the religious practices of an employee in order to determine whether religion mandates the employee’s adherence.”

Applying that framework to the current case means that Weiss did give adequate notice, the panel said, because she identified herself as a Christian Jew, listed specific doctrines that she said barred her from receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, and outlined her belief that she should not “introduce foreign substances” into her “body temple” that would “change how [her] Creator designed it.”

In a split 2-1 decision, the panel also said that Weiss has shown sufficient evidence to bring forth allegations that Kaiser Permanente violated her right to privacy.

Kaiser Permanente did not return a request for comment by publication time.

“I never imagined my faith would end up costing me my job,” Weiss said in a statement.

“I wasn’t asking Kaiser for special treatment, just the freedom to live according to my conscience. After 20 years of service, I didn’t think that was too much to ask.

“I’m grateful the court recognized that religious employees should not have to give up their beliefs or their privacy to keep their jobs.”

Berlin Pride Parade Terror Attack Suspect Identified as Previously Detained Islamist ‘Abdul B.’

The suspect in the terror attack, which struck the Berlin Pride Parade on Saturday evening, has been identified as 21-year-old ‘Abdul B.’, who was previously detained in Germany on terror offences, reportedly including the support of the so-called Islamic State.

UPDATE 13:40: German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Sunday morning that at least one person was killed and 29 people were injured, some seriously, in what he said is believed to have been an “Islamist terror attack” at the Berlin Pride Parade on Saturday evening. Dobrindt said the suspect was born in Germany but is of Lebanese descent, with his mother naturalised in the country in 2002. He also confirmed that the alleged terrorist had also attacked revellers with a bladed weapon, thought to be a machete. The manhunt continues.

The original story continues as follows…

Tragedy struck the annual Christopher Street Day event in the German capital, one of the largest LGBTQ pride parades in Europe, with a white van being driven into a crowd in the Tiergarten area of the city at around 10 pm, leaving at least one dead and 29 injured.

Berlin Police identified “Abdul B.” as their main suspect, releasing a picture of the 21-year-old as they conduct a large-scale manhunt. The force said that there may be more suspects yet to be identified. A spokesman earlier revealed that the suspect was known to police as an “Islamist”.

It has been reported that the suspect may still be armed, with some witnesses claiming that he was carrying a machete as he fled the scene.

The Bild newspaper identified the suspect as “Abdul Ballut”, who they reported was born in Germany but came from a Lebanese family. The paper further reported that his apartment was located just a few hundred meters from the site of the terror attack on Saturday evening.

German paper of record Die Welt reported that Abdul was previously identified as a threat by police and had been in juvenile detention as recently as May for having attempted to incite or threaten a terror attack. He was also said to have claimed to have contacts with the ISIS terror network.

Crazy Liberal Woman in Germany Admits She Hoped that Islamist Killer at Berlin Gay Pride Parade was “White Christian Person” – Organizers Hope the Islamist Attack Will Not Be Politicized

On Saturday a suspect believed to be tied to Berlin’s “Islamist scene” plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride Parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe.

The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.

The Sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with a bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route.

According to Bild.de, the man, was known to be a member of the Islamist scene. He is believed to be Abdul Ballout, 21. Police admitted Abdul Ballout was linked to Islamist groups and was on the authorities’ radar.

Ballout was killed on Sunday when Berlin police surrounded a garden plot before moving in and killed the Islamist who drove through the gay pride parade on Saturday.

According to Bild.de the terrorist attacked police with a “bladed weapon” before he was killed at 6:34 PM German Time.

This is not the first deadly Islamist attack in Germany.

Transgender From San Francisco Who Fled Trump’s America Now Begs to Come Home From Knife-Filled Dutch Asylum Hell

A biological male who calls himself Jane-Michelle Arc packed up his life in San Francisco, ran from the United States after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, and claimed asylum in the Netherlands. Now he is begging to get back.

The reason? The “safe” European refugee camp he landed in is so violent that the Red Cross pulled its workers out, stabbings are routine, and the men around him from North Africa and elsewhere make no secret of what they think should happen to people like him.

According to a Daily Mail report, Arc told Dutch outlet Pow News: “The situation I have in the US as a trans person, not good right, but here, I will be hurt or killed.”

He described yellow-vested security everywhere because of the constant stabbings and said the area outside the center is filled with “Moroccans or Bulgarians or whatever that think queer people should be beaten.”

This is the same Arc who once admitted fleeing America was “the dumbest thing” he had ever done. Turns out he was right the first time.

Arc, a 48-year-old software engineer who transitioned in 2012, claims street abuse and a close call with a truck driver in California drove him out. After Trump’s reelection he feared losing the legal fiction of female identity on passports and other documents. So he chose the nuclear option: asylum.

He estimates 35 to 50 other Americans who identify as transgender have done the same. Dutch officials do not even track the category. The odds of success are near zero. Leiden University professor Marlou Schrover has said American claims would only work if the United States started locking people up solely for their gender identity. That has not happened. About 20 failed American applicants were already deported back in 2025.

Instead of the progressive paradise he imagined, Arc was dropped into Ter Apel, the Netherlands’ largest asylum center. The place houses roughly 2,000 people, many from cultures that treat sexual deviance as a capital offense.

Listen: As Islamists Slaughter Christians, Democrat Candidate Warns Christians Feel ‘Very Threatening’ to Her – She’s a Christian Minister

In almost all of the world, in multi-religious societies, we all know who is getting threatened by who.

Just look at Nigeria, for instance. If you’re a Christian, or even a secularist, you know full well who is threatening you, and it’s generally people of one certain faith.

But in America, if you’re significantly shielded enough — at least if you’re not one of the people in one of two twin towers some 25 years ago — you can believe that the real threat is from Christians.

In that vein, meet Sarah Trone Garriott. She’s a member of the Iowa Senate who’s running as the Democratic nominee in the state’s 3rd Congressional District.

She’s also, like another prominent Democrat we see trying to flip a congressional seat, a nominal Christian figure. Instead of “Presbyterian seminarian,” however, this time she’s a Lutheran minister.

It’s something the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee touted when they started spending money on her campaign to oust Rep. Zach Nunn, a Republican.

“Sarah Trone Garriott has spent her life showing up for her community, and now she’s running for Congress to continue that service: standing up to protect health care, get costs down, and always do what’s right for Iowa,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said back in February, according to the Des Moines Register.

Rotterdam Officially Creates A No-Go Zone — Dutch City Bans Nighttime Entry To De Esch Neighborhood After Years Of Migrant Gang Disorder

The city of Rotterdam has taken an extraordinary and, by its own admission, unprecedented step: imposing a nighttime exclusion zone on an entire residential neighborhood, making it a criminal offense to enter the De Esch district between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a demonstrable reason for being there. The order took effect Thursday evening and will run for three months before evaluation, according to Remix News and the Dutch public broadcaster NOS.

Under the new rule, anyone stopped in De Esch during nighttime hours who cannot explain their presence to police is liable for a fine and a criminal record. Residents, workers, visitors attending events or dining at local restaurants, and people visiting family homes are exempt. Everyone else — which in practice means the large groups of outsiders who have descended on the neighborhood after dark for nearly three years — is not.

The backstory is a familiar and depressing one across Dutch and Western European cities that have been slow to name what is happening. Locals told NOS and the regional broadcaster Rijnmond that since shortly after the Covid pandemic, outsiders — identified in Dutch press coverage as predominantly young men of migrant background — began gathering in De Esch on evenings and weekends in numbers that sometimes reached into the hundreds. Activities documented include street racing, drug use, horn honking, prostitution, intimidation of residents, littering, and aggressive responses to anyone who objected. One resident told Rijnmond she had stopped walking her dog alone at night because of the danger; her parents were nearly struck by cars being driven on the sidewalk.

Rotterdam Mayor Carola Schouten authorized the exclusion zone under existing public order powers. “Calm must return to De Esch, and residents must feel comfortable and safe. That is why I am using this power,” she said. Previous interventions — concrete barriers, increased police patrols, community outreach, direct talks with those causing the disruption — had all failed. The first night of the ban was described as immediately and dramatically quieter. “I slept wonderfully,” one resident told Rijnmond. “Now, the street is completely clean.”

The Mullahs Fear Women Most

Why Iran’s Female Resistance Will Defeat Tyranny

For forty-seven years, Iran’s ruling mullahs have pursued a relentless campaign to subjugate half their own population. Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini hijacked the 1979 revolution, misogyny has served as one of the cornerstones of the Islamic Republic. Every law, every decree and every instrument of repression has sought to reduce women to obedient subjects, stripped of equality, dignity and freedom.

Yet the clerical regime has committed one fatal miscalculation. Its greatest victims have become its greatest adversaries. Today, Iranian women lead the struggle for democratic change. Their courage has shaken one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships, exposing the moral bankruptcy of a regime whose survival depends upon fear, violence and systematic discrimination. From the very beginning, the mullahs understood that controlling women meant controlling society. The compulsory hijab became far more than a dress code. It evolved into a political weapon, a daily reminder that every woman’s body, voice and future belonged to the state rather than herself.

The regime’s legal system reinforces this institutional misogyny at every turn. Women remain second-class citizens before the law. Family legislation favors men. Inheritance laws discriminate against daughters and wives. Judicial procedures frequently assign greater weight to male testimony. Countless opportunities remain restricted simply because of gender. Every aspect of life reflects an ideology built upon female submission and male authority.

This discrimination extends well beyond the courtroom. Young women have endured arrest, imprisonment and flogging for singing, dancing or celebrating the completion of examinations. Joy itself has become a crime whenever young women refuse to conform to the regime’s suffocating vision of society. Social media videos showing students singing together after exams have triggered harsh punishment, revealing the extraordinary insecurity of rulers who fear even the laughter of young women.

Perhaps even more horrifying has been the acid attacks carried out against women whose clothing failed to satisfy religious extremists. Young women suffered catastrophic injuries after corrosive chemicals were thrown into their faces because they allegedly wore their headscarves “incorrectly.” Many lost their eyesight. Many endured lifelong disfigurements. The perpetrators have enjoyed virtual impunity.

Sen. Mike Lee Files Bill to Defund Schools that Ban Religious Vaccine Exemptions: ‘We Don’t Worship Fauci’

A bill that would block federal tax dollars from schools that refuse to allow religious exemptions for vaccinations has been introduced by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who argued that educational institutions “need to learn we don’t all worship Fauci.”

The proposed legislation, dubbed the Guaranteeing Religious Accommodation in Childhood Education (GRACE) Act, is cosponsored by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and was introduced in the House by Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL). It is endorsed by over fifty organizations, including Children’s Health Defense, Moms for Liberty, and the Autism Action Network. 

Not only would the bill defund schools that do not allow religious vaccine exemptions, but it would also prevent institutions from requiring documentation from students or parents in order to justify receiving such an exemption. 

The Democrat-led states of California and New York both removed their religious freedom exemptions in recent years, impacting thousands of families who are now blocked from attending the schools their tax dollars pay for. 

“Schools are discriminating against religious kids and targeting their families over vaccine exemptions,” Lee said in a statement to Breitbart News. “Keeping a kindergartner out of class over a vaccine is cruel – and it’s unconstitutional when the reason is their family’s religion.”

“The GRACE Act will keep federal tax dollars out of schools that refuse religious exemptions for vaccines, and will outlaw targeting families to prove their beliefs,” the senator added. “These schools need to learn we don’t all worship Fauci.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the controversial former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, infamously argued that the government must “use lockdowns to get people vaccinated.”

Tuberville told Breitbart News in a statement, “This is a free country and parents have every right to make personal decisions about what vaccines they choose to give their children.”

“Last time I checked, parents are in charge of a child’s healthcare decisions, not the federal government,” the lawmaker continued. “Taxpayer funded K-12 schools have no right to turn students away at the door because of their vaccination status — especially if they have a religious exemption. The GRACE Act is an incredibly important bill that protects religious liberty and puts parents back in charge.”

Steube concurred, and added that “Freedom of speech and religion is the most sacred right guaranteed under our Constitution.”

Lee has shown his support for medical freedom on multiple previous occasions, including when he fought against the Biden administration’s COVID mandates, and more recently cosponsoring the End the Vaccine Carveout Act with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to remove special liability protections that shield Big Pharma from civil claims when customers are harmed by their products.

Louisiana Pastor Convicted of Stealing Over $340,000 from His Congregations to Fund Gambling, Meals and Lavish Living

A Louisiana pastor known for his social media presence and motivational messaging has been convicted of defrauding his own congregations out of more than $340,000, using church funds to bankroll gambling, dining, and other personal expenses.

Dale Sanders, 56, of Kenner, was found guilty Friday, July 17, 2026, of a 25-count superseding indictment charging him with wire fraud, access device fraud, and obstruction of a federal investigation following a five-day jury trial before U.S. District Judge Brandon S. Long. The conviction was announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

According to evidence presented at trial, Sanders defrauded two congregations he led, Second New Guide Missionary Baptist Church in Metairie (identified as Church A) and Fifth African Baptist Church in New Orleans (Church B), by withdrawing funds and transferring money from church bank accounts into accounts he controlled.

He also used a church debit card for unauthorized personal transactions, pocketing cash, goods and services totaling over $340,000 that he had no right to.

The money bankrolled his casino gambling, hotel stays, meals and living expenses. The scheme stretched from around 2020 to 2024.

Prosecutors detailed specific transactions in the superseding indictment, including a $5,000 check from the New Orleans church, a $1,172 charge at a Hard Rock Hotel in Florida, $1,300 in charges at a Mississippi casino, and even a $226 veterinary bill in Kenner, among many others, according to NOLA.com.

Sanders was also convicted of obstructing the federal investigation by providing a falsified record in response to a grand jury subpoena.
