Georgia Gov. Kemp sues Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms over her mask mandate - TheBlaze
Georgia Gov. Kemp sues Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms over her mask mandate - TheBlaze:
Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is suing Keisha Bottoms, the Democratic mayor of Atlanta, over the city's continued enforcement of a mask mandate that was banned Wednesday by Kemp's executive order, NBC News reported.
Kemp's executive order nullified mask requirements in Atlanta and 14 other localities. Kemp encourages people to wear masks in public, but opposes any measure by local authorities that is more restrictive than what the state has imposed.
"This lawsuit is on behalf of the Atlanta business owners and their hardworking employees who are struggling to survive during these difficult times," Kemp wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

"...The heightened mask requirement is statewide and prohibits business owners from providing service to people not wearing a mask.
The new mandate was based, according to Whitmer’s executive order, on the premise that “our progress in suppressing COVID-19 ... appears to have stalled.”
“Over the past two weeks, every region in Michigan has seen an uptick in new cases.”
But a review of data compiled by a University of Michigan website suggests the claim is questionable.
The site mistartmap.info tracks the epidemic in the state.
According to it, in the two weeks before the enhanced mask order came out, new coronavirus infections were actually down in three of Michigan’s eight defined regions (Kalamazoo, Lansing and Saginaw).
According to it, in the two weeks before the enhanced mask order came out, new coronavirus infections were actually down in three of Michigan’s eight defined regions (Kalamazoo, Lansing and Saginaw).
New infections were flat in one other region (the Upper Peninsula), but up in the Detroit, Grand Rapids, Jackson and Traverse City regions.
The statewide average of new infections was up slightly, from 30.1 per million residents to 31.7 per million residents, over the two weeks before July 10.
In all eight regions, reports of new infections were down on July 10 from their peaks during the two-week period of June 24 to July 10...Read all.

"Without fail, the media seems intent on making America out to be the lone failure in the world in the battle against the coronavirus.
Many media outlets have described the United States as “losing the war” against the coronavirus because of the number of cases keeps going up.
...I decided to look at the case fatality rate of the United States and compare it to select European countries.
We often hear about how enlightened Europe is compared to the United States, with their progressive politics and various version of universal health care.
So, let’s see how they measure up:
How about that!
Out of the twelve countries compared here, the United States currently comes in at the bottom, ranking at number eleven...

Covid911 - INSURGENCY (by Joe M)
"When democrat governors shipped very sick, old people
from hospitals to nursing homes (whose administrators protested they had no way
to treat the victims), they assured us it was based on the advice of
"experts".
- We now know that was deadly advice.
- Who gave that advice?
- Are they still giving "official" advice?
The left's answer is "NO, you will NOT ASK
QUESTIONS".
Decide for yourself, before this is deleted."
Watch it before it's "disappeared"
Only 9 min.
Already being stopped by censors.
Well worth your time!
The left is screaming about this video.
If it is so "offensive", why not explain the
specific offense?
Since that is impossible, it must be banned.

Moreover, they will have to come up with an additional $200 per “high capacity” magazine, as those will be placed under the purview of the National Firearms Act as well. Kelly writes: Regardless of one’s opinion on guns and gun control, it is obvious that this proposal will disproportionately impact poor and working-class communities. Those within those communities who already own firearms would be robbed of their ability to protect themselves and their loved ones, while their wealthier counterparts would skate by on their ready piles of cash.

Louisiana AG Jeff Landry Criticizes Governor’s Mask Mandate: ‘When Facts Changes, His Edicts Have To Change As Well’ | The Daily Caller
Louisiana AG Jeff Landry Criticizes Governor’s Mask Mandate: ‘When Facts Changes, His Edicts Have To Change As Well’ | The Daily Caller:
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry contended that the “Constitution doesn’t allow” Louisiana Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards to impose a statewide mask mandate.
Bel Edwards imposed the mandate last week as well as other measures, including bar closures and limits on indoor gatherings, in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus in his state.
Speaking to Fox News’ “The Story” from his home where he is recovering from coronavirus himself, Landry told guest host Jon Scott why he has changed his approach from early in the pandemic.

The spike of coronavirus that was supposed to come as a result of President Donald Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore on July 3 never came according to Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD).

Put more simply, members of our vaunted Fourth Estate cannot be trusted to report accurately on this administration.
They are just making stuff up at this point.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday tried to explain President Trump’s position that schools in the United States should reopen sooner rather than later..
They are just making stuff up at this point.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday tried to explain President Trump’s position that schools in the United States should reopen sooner rather than later..
McEnany obviously did not say that schools should reopen despite what the science says.
She clearly said that there should not be any science-based objections to reopening precisely because the data show it is both safe and preferable to put students back into their classrooms.
But you would never know what McEnany said or meant from following members of the press, many of whom selectively edited the White House press secretary’s remarks Wednesday to make her sound like a knuckle-dragging flat-earther.
- “The White House Press Secretary on Trump's push to reopen schools: ‘The science should not stand in the way of this,’” said CNN’s Jim Acosta, conveniently omitting some fairly necessary context.
- CNN’s Ana Cabrera tweeted, “WH Press Secretary: ‘When he (Trump) says open, he means open – in full – kids being able to attend each and every day at their school,’ McEnany told reporters at the press briefing. ‘The science should not stand in the way of this.’”
- “From the White House podium: ‘Science should not stand in the way’ of reopening schools,” CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang posted....READ ALL
Weird how none of these news accounts were able to include the full context of the press secretary’s remarks.
Just a total mystery!
Look, whether the science is on the side of reopening is not the issue.
The issue here is that our press cannot be trusted to convey accurately and fairly even basic statements made by administration officials.
If we cannot trust reporters to perform even the most basic functions of their profession, then what can we trust?...Read all.

Media Should Do a Mea Culpa as French Analysis Offers a Stunning Observation About Hydroxychloroquine Use
"We have been told repeatedly by health experts to demonstrate the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine and the other meds prescribed with it we need strict clinical trials.
These are studies where some patients receive medication, and some do not.
For many healthcare providers, this is a noxious thought if there is evidence to believe a treatment may work.
How do you ethically deny a potential treatment to an eligible patient to conduct a study? So-called double-blind studies described above are the preferred method advocated by Dr. Fauci.

How do you ethically deny a potential treatment to an eligible patient to conduct a study? So-called double-blind studies described above are the preferred method advocated by Dr. Fauci.
These double-blind studies allow people to die in the name of “science” if a drug is effective.
They are in the “control group.”
They are in the “control group.”
There are ethical issues with this approach that researches at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center addressed with a new concurrent trial based on machine learning developed following the H1N1 pandemic.
This method has been ignored by the NIH and FDA approval processes.
Such was the fate of the hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc combination. Scientifically there was every reason to believe it would work.
Clinically, doctors saw results when directly treating patients.
Several recommended that the drug be produced in sufficient amounts and given early and outpatient.
President Trump expressed optimism based on studies in France and China, and the media freaked out.
The president’s political opposition would go on to cling to any proof the drug would not work and suppress any information that it would.
This politicization culminated in the horrific study published by Lancet that the publication quietly retracted...
It also the only period where the Swiss CFR approached or exceeded that in France where there has been no use of hydroxychloroquine outside a few isolated trials.
The CFR returned to the highest level it had been since early in the pandemic at over 15%. Upon resumption of treatment with hydroxychloroquine, it returned to below 5%. A statistical analysis of the data...Read all.

Another government scam!!-----Michigan Cities Getting Around State Ban On Risky Internet Projects – Michigan Capitol Confidential
- Study finds local governments tilting the scale their way
"Michigan law imposes conditions on municipalities that want to create government-operated broadband systems.
It’s only supposed to happen if there are few or no willing internet providers, or when a city or township can provide the service for less and without taxpayer subsidies.
Yet several municipal broadband ventures have appeared in areas with more than one private internet provider.
A new paper examines how this is possible.
The government projects are usually promoted with overly optimistic cost and revenue estimates, and they claim to be more efficient than commercial vendors.
The reality is often very different...Read all.
Grenell: Documents Will Show Intel Officials Who Warned About Steele Dossier Were Ignored | The Daily Caller
Richard Grenell, the former acting director of national intelligence, said Wednesday that U.S. intelligence officials who expressed doubts early in the Trump-Russia investigation about the infamous Steele dossier were ignored.
In an interview on Newsmax TV, Grenell said that documents that have yet to be released will show that career intelligence officials pointed to red flags about the dossier, which the FBI used in its investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
WHY the mandate, especially when death rate is flat? IMPEACH GOVERNOR WHITMER NOW!
Chuck Ritchard--Patrick Colbeck
"Wearing face masks to prevent transmission of COVID-19 is like installing a chain link fence to keep flies out of your backyard.
The COVID-19 virus is 125 nanometers.
An N95 mask (i.e. "good" mask) screens out particles 300 nanometers or greater.
The hankies most people wear don't come close to even that level.
So the question is....WHY the mandate, especially when death rate is flat?
IMPEACH GOVERNOR WHITMER NOW!
All it takes is ONE MI Representative to get the ball rolling."
