The mother of country music star Morgan Wallen, Lesli Wallen, praised the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) for bucking &#8220;cancel culture&#8221; and playing her son&#8217;s music.
In early February, Wallen&#8217;s music was deplatformed from Cumulus Media, iHeartRadio, Entercom, cable network CMT, satellite service SiriusXM, streaming service Pandora, and other mediums after video was leaked to TMZ of a tipsy Wallen saying the N-word to a white friend after a night out in Nashville.
Lesli Wallen also linked to BLEXIT Foundation, an organization founded by conservative author Candace Owens.
“CPAC is playing Morgan Wallen, they don’t hold to Cancel Culture,&#8221; Lesli <a href="https://musicmayhemmagazine.com/morgan-wallens-mom-lesli-speaks-out-stop-using-him-as-a-pawn-forgiveness-and-love-is-needed/">posted</a> to her Instagram story on Saturday. &#8220;I stand with Morgan Wallen, who made a mistake and is paying dearly for it.&#8221;
&#8220;Country Music Associations, businesses, radio stations, and agencies, stop using him as a pawn,&#8221; she charged. &#8220;Forgiveness and love is needed on all sides, not hate. Hate produces more hate. This isn’t solving problems. Your round table discussions are not solving problems.”
“Get out in neighborhoods and help your children and youth of all colors that are suffering,” Lesli urged. “Educate, mentor, love. Blexitfoundation.org.”
BLEXIT, according to its website, is &#8220;dedicated to the advancement of urban and minority communities by encouraging youth to seek and take advantage of opportunities in 21st Century America. The organization promotes educational initiatives, pursues criminal justice reform, educates minority communities regarding America’s founding principles, and highlights the importance of free markets and entrepreneurship as the antidote to poverty.&#8221;
Owens, who is set to host an anticipated show with The Daily Wire, <a href="https://www.liberty.edu/news/2019/09/06/candace-owens-and-husband-discuss-brexit-blexit-and-the-conservative-cause/">said</a> in 2019 that one of her goals with BLEXIT is to &#8220;challenge the narrative.&#8221;
“I wanted to challenge black Americans to consider what [President Donald] Trump actually asked us, which is, ‘Black America, what do you have to lose? In my opinion, the answer was, ‘absolutely nothing,'&#8221; she said.
Wallen&#8217;s mother is not the only family member vouching for the singer. Last month, sister Ashlyne Wallen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-sister-slams-cancel-culture-following-brothers-deplatforming">ripped</a> the phenomenon of cancel culture for leaving “no room for forgiveness and growth.&#8221;
&#8220;There are only 3 things you should ever do about a mistake: admit it, learn from it, and don’t repeat it,&#8217;” Ashlyne’s post said. “Cancel culture is the worst thing that has come out of our digital world. It leaves no room for forgiveness and growth, in turn, leaving no opportunity for individuals who have made mistakes to learn from them. If you make a mistake or do something stupid then apologize, correct your mistake, and learn through personal growth.”
“The world we live in thrives off drama and bringing others down. I refuse to be part of that,” she added. “If my family or my friends make a mistake and apologize, I’m going to listen, accept it, and expect them to learn from their mistake. Someone who is truly sorry should be forgiven — not continuously bashed. Your past mistakes do not define you; it is how you choose to move forward that does.”
TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/02/morgan-wallen-n-word-nashville-neighbors/">published</a> the video reportedly recorded by a neighbor showing Wallen using expletives and the N-word after a night out in Nashville with friends. TMZ reported:
<blockquote>
<p id="cb-1816e1e2d56dbc6a5ee4b065e9a550a0" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">Morgan Wallen returned home Sunday from a rowdy night with friends, and as he walked up his driveway he hurled the n-word and other profanities, it’s all on video and Wallen is remorseful.
<p id="cb-12ec34a31c4732d77c6f09d27e4fec94" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">The country star and a group of buddies had just spent a night out in Nashville. When they arrived at Morgan’s home at around midnight, they were extremely loud … honking horns and talking loudly … loud enough to piss off neighbors. One of the neighbors began recording the antics.
<p id="cb-e177d0f6b41253bea27b911a7c4c35cf" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">As Morgan appears to stumble toward his house, he tells someone to watch over a guy in his group. He says … “take care of this p****-ass mother******” — and then goes on to say, “take care of this p****-ass n*****” … before finally heading in.
</blockquote>
Wallen quickly released a statement of apology and a promise to “do better.” “I’m embarrassed and sorry,” the “7  Summers” singer said. “I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.&#8221;
Days later, Wallen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-morgan-wallen-posts-apology-video-talks-sobriety-following-n-word-video-deplatforming">posted</a> a video to social media offering a lengthy apology, which included discussion of his sobriety and his efforts to make amends for his mistake.
“I let so many people down who mean a lot to me, who have given so much to me, it’s just not fair,” he said. “I let my parents down and they’re the furthest thing from the person in that video. I let my son down and I’m not OK with that.”

Washington Post correspondent Philip Bump strongly backed the move to stop the publishing of six Dr. Seuss books in a column published Tuesday, arguing that the scrubbing of the books has nothing at all to do with &#8220;cancel culture,&#8221; and if you think it does, that&#8217;s because your culture is the problem.
</div>
&#8220;If curtailing racist imagery in Dr. Seuss is ‘cancel culture,’ what, exactly, is your culture?&#8221; <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/02/if-curtailing-racist-imagery-dr-seuss-is-cancel-culture-what-exactly-is-your-culture/">questioned</a> Bump.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Look, man, if you think obviously racist imagery is an essential element of your own culture, that says more about you than about Dr. Seuss. <a href="https://t.co/3t0Vra8XF5">https://t.co/3t0Vra8XF5</a>
&mdash; Philip Bump (@pbump) <a href="https://twitter.com/pbump/status/1366771834172166147?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 2, 2021</a></blockquote>

Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced Tuesday that they will stop selling six titles, citing racist and insensitive imagery. The announcement came on the heels of an anti-Dr. Seuss campaign in Virginia and President Joe Biden&#8217;s pointed decision to leave out the prominent American author in his presidential proclamation for Read Across America Day, which is celebrated on Dr. Seuss&#8217;s birthday.
Bump argued that Dr. Seuss can&#8217;t be &#8220;canceled&#8221; because he&#8217;s already dead, adding that the &#8220;vast majority&#8221; of his books are still in circulation, anyway.
&#8220;No one is &#8216;canceling&#8217; Dr. Seuss, a phrasing by now so detached from reality that it doesn’t even make any sense,&#8221; wrote the Post correspondent. &#8220;The author, himself, is dead for one thing, which is about as canceled as a person can get. The vast, vast majority of his books, the ones without racist images or references, will still be sold.&#8221;
&#8220;If Dr. Seuss’s profile wanes a bit as a result of the attention being paid to his drawings — the only form of &#8216;canceling&#8217; at play here — to whom is harm being done?&#8221; he asked.
The answer, according to Bump, is the people with the messed up culture, those who are &#8220;afraid&#8221; of progress, those who value &#8220;traditionalism&#8221; &#8212; and you guessed it, he&#8217;s talking about Trump supporters:
<div>
<blockquote>
The answer, of course, is people who perceive criticism of the casual racism of the past as criticism of their own behavior or as a reminder of how the world around them is changing. It’s not that some Dr. Seuss books are being taken out of rotation. It’s that Seuss is a benchmark for a particular sort of American upbringing. Calling out Seuss’s — infrequent! — racist imagery is therefore an attack on that view of American identity.
</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div>
It’s a short hop from here to rhetoric demanding that we make America great again. This, as I’ve <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/02/16/cancel-culture-blends-into-victim-culture/?itid=lk_inline_manual_14">written before</a>, was always the value that Donald Trump offered to his supporters: unwinding the clock to a point in which everything was stable and unchanging and systems worked explicitly, if often unwittingly, to the advantage of White men in particular. Challenging Seuss drawings exposes the racism that usually undergirded those advantages.
This has been an undercurrent to our political conversation for decades. It used to be that “political correctness” was the poison undermining the United States, a phrasing that emerged in response to a limited effort to change how things were described but that eventually served as a shorthand for “attacks on traditional culture.”
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
While bashing conservative Americans as backward rubes who hate change, Bump offered one sentence acknowledging that speech-policing and cancel culture can go too far, writing that some &#8220;efforts to police language or actions that, intentionally or not, risk chilling people’s willingness to speak frankly.&#8221;
Bump did not provide any examples of this, nor did he acknowledge that assessing past works by current social standards is asinine, or that if we were to actually do this with all past works, we&#8217;d have very little left to read or view.
Instead, he continued to slam conservatives.
&#8220;[U]ntil a few weeks ago, my son didn’t know this book existed. So where’s the harm in his not seeing its images?&#8221; he argued. &#8220;Why would anyone think it is less problematic for a kid to be exposed to racist caricatures of African (or, at a different point in the book, Asian) people than for him not to be?&#8221;
</div>
<div>
&#8220;This isn’t some toxic &#8216;cancel culture.&#8217; If it were, what would that say about the culture that you’re defending?&#8221;

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany landed a spot as a Fox News contributor, the network announced Tuesday.
McEnany was named as former President Donald Trump&#8217;s press secretary in April 2020, replacing Stephanie Grisham. McEnany, before her time as press secretary, had served as Trump&#8217;s campaign spokeswoman.
Fox News host Harris Faulkner announced the former press secretary&#8217;s position with the network on-air.
&#8220;It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Kayleigh McEnany to the Fox family,&#8221; Faulkner said, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/media/kayleigh-mcenany-joins-fox-news-rcna327">according</a> to NBC. &#8220;We will be seeing much more of her.&#8221;
The Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/02/kayleigh-mcenany-joins-fox-news-as-contributor/">reported</a> Tuesday that McEnany would be a contributor at the network.
Notably, there was a campaign from supporters of President Joe Biden to blacklist McEnany and other Trump administration officials from future employment.
&#8220;Joseph R. Biden supporters are advocating a reign of shunning and purging President Trump’s supporters in Washington,&#8221; The Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/8/biden-backers-blacklist-trump-loyalists-trump-acco/">reported</a> in November. &#8220;As the presumptive president-elect struck a unity theme during his Saturday night speech, some backers espoused another idea: Dox and cancel Trump world.&#8221;
At the time, the so-called Trump Accountability Project, which is now defunct, set up a Twitter account that focused on blocking jobs for anyone who worked to help Trump become president or who worked in his administration.
“Remember what they did,&#8221; served as the group&#8217;s logo.
“We must never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda,” the site said. “Those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country’s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
As noted by the Examiner, far-left Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez of New York, too, engaged in &#8220;retaliation talk for unspecified crimes by urging followers to create an anti-Trump archive as evidence.&#8221;
“Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?” AOC posted to Twitter. “I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”
McEnany was known for her calm handling of an adversarial press during daily briefings. In December, she <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/18/kayleigh-mcenany-conservative-women-media-mary-margaret-olohan/">reflected</a> on the media bias against conservatives during an interview with the Daily Caller.
“No matter what Republican administration it is, Republican women are just treated differently by virtue of their party ideology,” McEnany said. “It’s unfortunate, but if you are a Republican, male or female, you will be attacked particularly in the Trump administration because the media always is keen to demonstrate their innately liberal bias.”

Microsoft Corp. has teamed up with the Los Angeles Unified School District to bring students a Covid-19-related &#8220;comprehensive system&#8221; called &#8220;Daily Pass.&#8221;
The system requires children to be scanned into school with their own unique QR code: their &#8220;Daily Pass.&#8221; If a student doesn&#8217;t have their barcode, they cannot get into school. And per the district, students will also still be wearing masks, staying six feet apart from one another and getting temperature checks outside the school.
There are nearly half a million students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade.
To earn their safe-for-school Daily Pass, students and staffers must answer questions online and test negative for the novel coronavirus every week.
&#8220;Daily Pass generates a unique QR code for each student and staff member, and that code authorizes entry to a specific LAUSD location for that day only — as long as the individual receives a negative test result for COVID, shows no symptoms and has a temperature under 100 degrees, the district said,&#8221; NBC Los Angeles <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/coronavirus/southern-california-coronavirus/lausd-daily-pass-health-check-system-schools-education/2532697/">outlined</a>. &#8220;Upon the individual&#8217;s arrival to a campus, their QR code is scanned by a district school-site leader, who takes the individual&#8217;s temperature.&#8221;
There is also a section on the Daily Pass portal that seeks to get students and staffers vaccinated, from most at-risk to least at-risk.  You can schedule your child&#8217;s vaccination via the portal.
&#8220;Anonymous data from Daily Pass will be used by the Los Angeles Unified&#8217;s research and health care collaborators — Stanford University, UCLA, The Johns Hopkins University, Anthem Blue Cross, Healthnet and Cedars Sinai — to provide insights for strategies to create the safest possible school environment,&#8221; NBC Los Angeles reported.
Schools have not been shown to significantly spread the virus, and some studies have found children are not at a significant risk of contracting the disease. Still, the promotional video for Daily Pass paints a different picture (see below). A scared child is only put at ease when she fills out her Daily Pass information, gets her unique barcode, stays six-feet away from her peers, and is scanned into school.
&#8220;Mom, I&#8217;m scared about going back to school,&#8221; the child says in the video. &#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna get sick, and I don&#8217;t wanna get you and dad sick.&#8221;
After she&#8217;s scanned into school, the girl tells her father, &#8220;Dad, I have to admit, I was scared at first, but then I felt so safe. It was so good to be back. Thanks for keeping me safe. I love you so much.&#8221;
Last July, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-director-threat-of-suicide-drugs-flu-to-youth-far-greater-than-covid">advocated</a> the return of students to school, highlighting the low coronavirus risk for children without preexisting conditions and the unfortunate spike in suicides and drug overdoses as schools remained closed.
“It’s not risk of school openings versus public health. It’s public health versus public health,” <a href="https://www.buckinstitute.org/covid-webinar-series-transcript-robert-redfield-md/">asserted</a> Redfield.
“I’m of the point of view and I weigh that equation as an individual that has 11 grandchildren that the greater risk is actually to the nation to keep these schools closed,” he added.
Still, schools across the country remain shut out from in-person learning.
Microsoft was founded by billionaire Bill Gates, who&#8217;s become a media favorite as he weighs in on all things related to the coronavirus, from masks to vaccines to the Covid-19 relief bill.
The left-wing climate activist and philanthropist <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/technology/bill-gates-microsoft-board.html">stepped down</a> from Microsoft&#8217;s board in March of last year, but  he still remains one of the largest shareholders in the company with roughly 1.3 percent of the company’s shares — an estimated worth of $16 billion.
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/technology/bill-gates-microsoft-board.html">According</a> to a statement released by the billionaire last March, Gates intended to &#8220;remain active at the company and would work closely with Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief executive.&#8221;
“Microsoft will always be an important part of my life’s work and I will continue to be engaged with Satya and the technical leadership to help shape the vision and achieve the company’s ambitious goals. I feel more optimistic than ever about the progress the company is making,” wrote Gates.

A video showing Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) challenging a female reporter to eat an entire sausage in front of him has <a href="https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1366107864784396293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1366107864784396293%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D195736action%3Dedit">resurfaced</a> online in light of the recent sexual harassment allegations launched against the Democrat.
The reporter, Beth Cefalu, however, has denied that the interaction has anything to do with the recent allegations, emphasizing that she did not feel &#8220;pressured&#8221; or &#8220;harassed&#8221; by Cuomo when he made the challenge during an &#8220;informal&#8221; media event at the 2016 New York State Fair.
&#8220;I was not pressured/harassed this is two people enjoying the one event &#8211; the NYS fair &#8211; that gives them a little more freedom to be informal. It&#8217;s really sad it’s being turned into anything more,&#8221; Cefalu posted to Twitter.
&#8220;This is why people hate &#8216;the media,'&#8221; she added, &#8220;misleading headlines and one-sided articles twisting reality. It’s really sad that any media will turn fun at the fair into some sleazy scandal that it wasn’t.&#8221;

The reporter similarly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-once-pressured-female-reporter-eat-entire-sausage">told</a> Fox News in a statement, &#8220;The governor was trying to be nice and got me some food. It’s probably the one day of year or story of the year he and I can be a little informal and that’s what this was nothing more. He did not pressure me &#8211; he was not hitting on me nor did I feel harassed in anyway.&#8221;
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-once-pressured-female-reporter-eat-entire-sausage">outlined</a> the resurfaced video as follows:
<blockquote>&#8220;I want to see you eat the whole sausage,&#8221; Cuomo can be heard telling Cefalu, as his daughter Michaela sits quietly next to him. A now-former aide to Cuomo could be seen handing Cefalu a sandwich.
&#8220;I don’t know if I should eat the whole sausage in front of you, but I’m definitely going to eat it,&#8221; Cefalu responds.
Cuomo then invites Cefalu to sit at his table. Before eating, Cefalu snaps a selfie with the governor while holding up her food.
&#8220;There’s too much sausage in that picture,&#8221; Cuomo says, prompting laughter from others at the table.</blockquote>

Former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-who-accused-andrew-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment-finally-details-allegations">claims</a> she was sexually harassed and forcibly kissed on the mouth by the governor before she resigned from her position.
Charlotte Bennett, a low-level aide in the Democrat&#8217;s administration until November, says she was &#8220;asked inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she ever had sex with older men, and made other comments she interpreted as gauging her interest in an affair,&#8221; Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-once-pressured-female-reporter-eat-entire-sausage">reported</a>.
The embattled governor responded to the accusations on Sunday, emphasizing that he&#8217;s often &#8220;playful&#8221; and makes &#8220;jokes&#8221; while on the job.
“Questions have been raised about some of my past interactions with people in the office,” the statement said, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-governor-andrew-cuomo-releases-statement-apologizing-for-behavior-following-sexual-harassment-allegations">The Daily Wire</a> reported. “I never intended to offend anyone or cause any harm. I spend most of my life at work, and colleagues are often also personal friends. At work sometimes I think I am being playful and make jokes that I think are funny. I do, on occasion, tease people in what I think is a good natured way. I do it in public and in private. You have seen me do it at briefings hundreds of times. I have teased people about their personal lives, their relationships, about getting married or not getting married.”
“I mean no offense and only attempt to add some levity and banter to what is a very serious business,” the governor continued. “I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that.”
“To be clear I never inappropriately touched anybody and I never propositioned anybody and I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but these are allegations that New Yorkers deserve answers to,” concluded Cuomo. “That’s why I have asked for an outside, independent review that looks at these allegations. Separately, my office has heard anecdotally that some people have reached out to Ms. Bennett to express displeasure about her coming forward. My message to anyone doing that is you have misjudged what matters to me and my administration and you should stop now – period.”

Democratic Georgia lawmakers clashed with officers at the state&#8217;s Capitol building on Friday during a protest against a Republican effort to ensure election integrity through measures that include mandating voter ID for absentee voting.
Inside the Capitol, protesting Democrats were told by officers that they were in violation of the law and asked to back up when they started shouting “All Votes Matter” and climbed the stairs leading to the House and Senate chambers as legislators were recessing for lunch, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/voting-protest-leads-to-clash-between-police-and-georgia-lawmaker/IDNHNNFSCBFABDRS2XU5WYY6KU/">reported</a> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC).
One of the representatives, state Rep. Park Cannon, a Democrat, walked in front of the officer&#8217;s megaphone. She was grabbed on the arm by another officer and asked to back up.
&#8220;Step aside, ma&#8217;am,&#8221; the officer told Cannon. &#8220;Go, go. Step aside.&#8221;
&#8220;You can&#8217;t touch her!&#8221; protesters yelled at the officer.
Outraged Democrats later started a sit-in on the steps, demanding an apology from Georgia State Patrol.
Captioning a video of the commotion, FOX 5 Atlanta reporter Claire Simms wrote on Friday, &#8220;Confusion at the State Capitol after some lawmakers joined in with a protest against HB 531 and a state trooper touched Rep. Park Cannon after she stood in front of a bullhorn.&#8221;

The Democrats sat until they &#8220;received an apology,&#8221; which was not made public, according to AJC. The sit-in lasted about 90 minutes and no arrests were made.

“The goal of me speaking today is so that black people, people across the state of Georgia, poor people, mothers and seniors can vote,” Cannon said during the protest, claiming that the bill targets by race and status.

Democrats Protest Election Integrity Bill Inside Georgia State Capitol, Clash With Police

A provision buried in the COVID-19 relief bill has been criticized as &#8220;a personal bailout for bureaucrats&#8221; for carving out enhanced paid time off for federal employees, a boost not offered to non-federal employees.
A provision in the &#8220;American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,&#8221; which passed the House on Saturday, enables a new Treasury Department fund called the “Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund&#8221; to pay federal employees up to $1,400 a week for 15 weeks as paid time off if they have any kids who are not enrolled in full-time, in-classroom instruction as their school. Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/02/23/paid-to-stay-home--coronavirus-aid-bill-pays-federal-employees-with-kids-out-of-school-up-to-21k/?sh=6093545e1223">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Under the bill as currently drafted, full-time federal employees can take up to 600 hours in paid leave until September 30, up to $35 an hour and $1,400 a week. That’s 15 weeks for a 40-hour employee. Part-time and “seasonal” employees are eligible, too, with equivalent hours established by their agency.</blockquote>
&#8220;Critics call it a personal bailout for bureaucrats,&#8221; <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/02/23/paid-to-stay-home--coronavirus-aid-bill-pays-federal-employees-with-kids-out-of-school-up-to-21k/?sh=6093545e1223">said</a> Adam Andrzejewski, writing at Forbes. &#8220;It is funded through a new $570 million family leave account exclusively for federal workers.&#8221;
&#8220;While millions of parents struggle to work from home with kids who are enrolled in shuttered or partially shuttered schools, and millions more left the workforce or lost jobs to care for their at-home children, evidently parents in the federal bureaucracy need their own, personal Covid-19 bailout,&#8221; he blasted.
Andrzejewski noted that the provision was &#8220;buried&#8221; on page 305 of the House bill.
&#8220;Wow. The BidenBucks bill pays federal employees up to 15 weeks of paid leave at $1400 per week if they have to stay home to virtual school kids,&#8221; reacted writer Phil Kerpen, a lockdown critic.
&#8220;You get $1400 once,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They get it every week for 15 weeks. Swamp takes care of swamp.&#8221;

President Joe Biden has been criticized for his apprehension to stand up to teacher unions refusing to go back to work, while medical experts <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-director-threat-of-suicide-drugs-flu-to-youth-far-greater-than-covid">strongly</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-director-admits-its-not-just-science-that-affects-our-guidance-on-opening-schools">advocate</a> for kids&#8217; return to in-classroom instruction.
On Sunday, former President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-unloads-on-biden-he-has-sold-out-americas-children-to-teacher-unions?%3Futm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=fedup">ripped</a> Biden for such apprehension while speaking at CPAC.
Children &#8220;must get back and get back right now, right now,” Trump urged, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-unloads-on-biden-he-has-sold-out-americas-children-to-teacher-unions?%3Futm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=fedup">The Daily Wire</a> reported. “The Biden administration is actually bragging about the classroom education they are providing to migrant children on the border while at the same time, millions of American children are having their futures destroyed by Joe Biden’s anti-science school closures.&#8221;
“There’s no reason whatsoever why the vast majority of young Americans should not be back in school immediately,” the president said. “The only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because Joe Biden sold out America’s children to the teachers’ unions.&#8221;
&#8220;His position is morally inexcusable, you know that,&#8221; Trump blasted. &#8220;Joe Biden has shamefully betrayed America’s youth, and he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes, no reason for it whatsoever, they want to get out.”

‘Personal Bailout For Bureaucrats’: Democrat Stimulus Pays Big Bucks To Federal Employees 

Congress

A provision buried in the COVID-19 relief bill has been criticized as &quot;a personal bailout for bureaucrats&quot; for carving out enhanced paid time off for federal employees, a boost not offered to non-federal employees.

Conservatives have the right to gather and peacefully express their views, Hyatt Hotels said Friday.
The hotel chain began facing blowback from left-wing activists last week for allowing this year&#8217;s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida.
“We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company,” a spokesperson for Hyatt <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/hyatt-defends-cpac-decision">told</a> Fox Business.
“We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting meetings and events at our hotels align with ours,” the spokesperson said.
“Our own values support a culture that is characterized by empathy, respect and diversity of opinions and backgrounds, and we strive to bring this to light through what we do and how we engage with those in our care,&#8221; Hyatt added.
As <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/hyatt-defends-cpac-decision">noted</a> by Fox News, a #BoycottHyatt hashtag spread on social media after it was learned that the hotel was allowing conservatives to host their event, &#8220;which some people alleged the company was endorsing by allowing it to happen at one of its properties.&#8221;
The targeting of the hotel ramped up over the weekend when left-wing activists <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alyssa-milano-calls-cpac-attendees-nazis-floats-conspiracy-about-stage-targets-hotel-chain-for-hosting-event">floated</a> the conspiracy theory that CPAC organizers intentionally set up the stage to reflect Nazi symbolism known as the Odal Rune.
Lead organizer of CPAC Matt Schlapp ripped those floating the conspiracy, calling the claims “outrageous and slanderous.”
“Stage design conspiracies are outrageous and slanderous,” he wrote to Twitter on Saturday. “We have a long standing commitment to the Jewish community. Cancel culture extremists must address antisemitism within their own ranks.”
“CPAC proudly stands with our Jewish allies, including those speaking from this stage,” Schlapp added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-politics-conservative-hate-idUSKCN2AS0R2">reported</a> Sunday that Hyatt Hotels Corp, asked about the stage and the alleged embedded Nazi symbolism, said they take the &#8220;concern raised&#8221; &#8220;very seriously&#8221; and condemn &#8220;symbols of hate&#8221; as &#8220;abhorrent.&#8221;
“We take the concern raised about the prospect of symbols of hate being included in the stage design at CPAC 2021 very seriously as all such symbols are abhorrent and unequivocally counter to our values as a company,&#8221; the hotel chair said, according to Reuters.
&#8220;Hyatt said all aspects of conference logistics, including the stage design, were managed by the American Conservative Union, which organized the conference,&#8221; the report added.
As noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alyssa-milano-calls-cpac-attendees-nazis-floats-conspiracy-about-stage-targets-hotel-chain-for-hosting-event">The Daily Wire</a>, actress Alyssa Milano was one of the left-wing activists to spread the conspiracy. She also called for a boycott of Hyatt for allowing CPAC to be hosted at one of their hotels, writing, &#8220;[Hyatt] is totally fine hosting Nazis. #CPAC#boycottHYATT #QPAC2021.”
<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/hyatt-defends-cpac-decision">According</a> to Fox News, it has been estimated that the 2021 CPAC event could &#8220;have a <a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2021/02/25/cpac-could-have-multi-million-dollar-economic-impact-on-central-florida/">multimillion-dollar impact</a> on the local area at a time when the broader U.S. economy is struggling to combat the devastating financial effects of the ongoing pandemic.&#8221;

Actress Alyssa Milano has accused conservative organizers of the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) of intentionally setting up the stage to reflect Nazi symbolism.
The left-wing activist also targeted hotel chain Hyatt for hosting the conservative event and called conservatives in attendance &#8220;Nazis.&#8221;
In an Instagram post published Saturday, Milano posted side-by-side shots of the CPAC stage and Nazi symbolism known as the Odal Rune.
&#8220;This is the stage at CPAC. THEY’RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE,&#8221; Milano captioned the images. &#8220;[Hyatt], this is what’s happening in your building. [Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), you stood on this stage.&#8221;

Following the attacks from the Left against the Hyatt, the hotel chain underscored their commitment to being &#8220;inclusive,&#8221; while noting that individuals and organizations have a right &#8220;to peacefully express their views.&#8221;
“We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company,” <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/540866-hyatt-touts-a-highly-inclusive-environment-in-defense-of-hosting-cpac">said</a> a Hyatt spokesperson in a statement.
“We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting meetings and events at our hotels align with ours,” they added. “Our own values support a culture that is characterized by empathy, respect and diversity of opinions and backgrounds, and we strive to bring this to light through what we do and how we engage with those in our care.”
Milano claimed the hotel allowing conservatives a space to gather was akin to them being &#8220;totally fine hosting Nazis,&#8221; and called for a boycott of the Hyatt.

Alyssa Milano Calls CPAC Attendees ‘Nazis,’ Floats Conspiracy About Stage, Targets Hotel Chain For Hosting Event

Nazis

Actress Alyssa Milano has accused conservative organizers of the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) of intentionally setting up the stage to reflect Nazi symbolism.

A judge ruled Friday that Arizona Senate Republicans can have access to Maricopa County&#8217;s 2.1 million ballots from the 2020 general election and corresponding voting equipment to perform an audit.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason said that the election-related subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate are valid and enforceable.
Senate Republicans and the GOP-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors disagreed about the accessibility of the ballots; the Senate wanted to perform an audit to address election integrity concerns from constituents, whereas the board argued the ballots, by law, were to be kept secret for 24 months following the election. The judge scolded the parties for failing to come to an agreement on their own but sided with the Senate, suggesting the law in question does not conflict with the subpoenas.
“There is no question that the Senators have the power to issue legislative subpoenas,” Judge Thomason wrote, <a href="https://ktar.com/story/4102892/judge-rules-arizona-senate-can-get-access-to-2-1-million-ballots/">according</a> to The Associated Press. “The Subpoenas comply with the statutory requirements for legislative subpoenas. The Senate also has broad constitutional power to oversee elections.”
“The Arizona legislature clearly has the power to investigate and examine election reform matters,” the ruling read. “The Subpoenas also do not violate separation of powers principles. Production of the subpoenaed materials would not violate confidentiality laws.”
Board Chairman Jack Sellers said they will comply with the ruling, adding that he hopes senators &#8220;will show the same respect and care we have for the 2.1 million private ballots and use them in service of their legislative duties.&#8221;
“We respect his legal opinion and will immediately start working to provide the Arizona Senate with the ballots and other materials,” said a statement from the board chair. “These items are in addition to the more than 11GB of data already provided. We hope senators will show the same respect and care we have for the 2.1 million private ballots and use them in service of their legislative duties.”
Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, said she was thrilled with the ruling, emphasizing that the audit request was never about overturning election results. Maricopa County votes <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/12/arizona-election-live-updates-2020-presidential-election/6258023002/">tipped</a> Arizona for now-President Joe Biden during the general election.
“We are thrilled and grateful that the judge was able to see the big picture in this whole issue,” Fann said, the AP reported. “That this has never been about overturning an election. This has always been 100% about voter integrity and finding the answers to all of our voters’ questions about the safety and security and validity of the Arizona electoral system.”
&#8220;The county Board of Supervisors has pointed to repeated checks that show the election was free and fair and properly conducted. They also did two additional audits in an effort to mollify the Senate,&#8221; the AP report added. &#8220;Early this week, they released the results of those new audits of their equipment that showed no malicious software or incorrect counting equipment and that none of the computers or equipment were connected to the internet. Previous reviews and a hand recount of a sample of ballots also found no issues.&#8221;
<a href="https://ktar.com/story/4102892/judge-rules-arizona-senate-can-get-access-to-2-1-million-ballots/">According</a> to Fann, the audits thus far have been incomplete, only reviewing vote counting machines and software. The Senate will now move forward with a full forensic audit.

Conservatives are sounding the alarm about an updated Amazon policy that bans books the ubiquitous billion-dollar company deems offensive or includes so-called &#8220;hate speech.&#8221;
As noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amazon-not-streaming-clarence-thomas-doc-during-black-history-month">The Daily Wire</a>, Amazon has ramped up its censorship on conservative views in recent weeks. For example, a popular documentary on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was banned from their streaming service this past week. Before that move, the company deplatformed conservative Ryan Anderson’s book critical of gender theory, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement.”
When Just the News <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/prior-removing-transgender-critical-book-amazon-changed-policies-ban-books-hate">reached out</a> to Amazon over the ban on Anderson&#8217;s book, the outlet said the company directed them to a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201995150">page</a> outlining their &#8220;Content Guidelines for Books.&#8221; Under a section labeled &#8220;Offensive Content,&#8221; Amazon states that they &#8220;don’t sell certain content including content that we determine is hate speech, promotes the abuse or sexual exploitation of children, contains pornography, glorifies rape or pedophilia, advocates terrorism, or other material we deem inappropriate or offensive.&#8221;
&#8220;A review of those policies suggests that sometime in the last few months Amazon made a major change to the ways in which it moderates book content on its servers, imposing a much stricter standard on books than it had previously done,&#8221; the <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/prior-removing-transgender-critical-book-amazon-changed-policies-ban-books-hate">report</a> said. It appears the company recently added so-called &#8220;hate speech&#8221; to their guidelines on book platforming and is amping up their censorship of the &#8220;offensive.&#8221;
Daily Wire podcast host and conservative author Matt Walsh warned that the designation from Amazon broadened to include conservative views, as it seems to be leaning, could lead to the potential &#8220;end of conservative books.&#8221;
&#8220;If Amazon decides to label conservative books &#8216;hate speech,&#8217; that’s effectively the end of conservative books,&#8221; he posted to Twitter on Saturday.
&#8220;Publishers won’t bother publishing books that can’t be sold on Amazon,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;This is a hugely important issue. I don’t think it’s getting all the attention it deserves.&#8221;

Author and critic of progressive gender theory Abigail Shrier posted a lengthy thread offering a similar warning, emphasizing Amazon&#8217;s reach. 
&#8220;We&#8217;re really not making a big enough deal of the fact that [Amazon] has begun deleting books,&#8221; she said on Saturday. &#8220;Amazon now claims the right to bar all books that are &#8216;inappropriate or offensive.&#8217; Of course, nearly *every book* worth reading could be characterized as &#8216;inappropriate&#8217; or &#8216;offensive&#8217; to someone.”

&#8220;But also, Amazon is manifestly dishonest about censoring books that are &#8216;offensive&#8217; or &#8216;inappropriate.&#8217; They continue to sell books like this, which discusses very young children performing fellatio,&#8221; Shrier highlighted. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t believe they should stop selling it!&#8221;
&#8220;Books that surprise and inform and challenge us to see things differently are usually offensive to someone. In the short term, sounding the alarm may increase sales of a particular book. But this is a dangerous move &#8211; and we are all too complacent about it,&#8221; she continued.

&#8220;When a company controls over 83% of the market for books, it begins the process of deleting ideas from a society,&#8221; the author argued. &#8220;A bookseller can sell whatever it wants. If &#8216;Marxist Books&#8217; wants to only sell books that conform to its ideology, OK; that has integrity.&#8221;
&#8220;But this is the &#8216;world&#8217;s largest bookseller.&#8217; Amazon can basically make books disappear for *all readers* &#8212; and does so on a blatantly dishonest basis. Under guise of removing ‘inappropriate’ content, they will really be removing ideas they disfavor,&#8221; she added.

‘The End Of Conservative Books’: Amazon Quietly Bans Books They Deem Offensive, ‘Hate Speech’

Hate Speech

Conservatives have sounded the alarm on a changed Amazon policy that bans books the highly ubiquitous billion dollars company deems offensive or includes so-called &quot;hate speech.&quot;

Amazon Prime is not streaming a popular documentary about the only current black U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, during Black History Month.
The omission is especially glaring as the move to drop &#8220;Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words&#8221; comes during Black History Month despite Amazon carving out an entire section celebrating &#8220;Black Voices&#8221; during February.
&#8220;Recently, Amazon Prime dropped Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, an acclaimed and popular PBS documentary on Justice Clarence Thomas, making it unavailable to stream during Black History Month,&#8221; Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2021/02/25/paoletta-amazon-prime-cancels-justice-clarence-thomas-documentary-during-black-history-month/">reported</a>. &#8220;Thomas is our nation’s only black justice currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court, and one would think that between Amazon’s claim to &#8216;building an inclusive culture&#8217; and the fact that it’s Black History Month, Amazon would want to stream this inspiring documentary on its platform.&#8221;
Mark Paoletta, who served as a lawyer in the Bush 41 White House Counsel’s Office and helped to confirm Justice Thomas to the bench, wrote an opinion piece at Breitbart highlighting Amazon&#8217;s alleged anti-conservative bias.
The company &#8220;showed it has its limits when it comes to its dedication to diversity and inclusion&#8221; by booting the documentary, he argued.
&#8220;In fact, Amazon Prime created an entire Amplify Black Voices page on its site that &#8216;feature[s] a curated collection of titles to honor Black History Month across four weekly themes (Black Love, Black Joy, Black History Makers, and Black Girl Magic),'&#8221; highlighted Paoletta.
&#8220;Amazon has made a significant effort to celebrate black voices on its site during Black History Month, including films of Thurgood Marshall and even Anita Hill, but can’t find any space for a documentary on our only sitting black Supreme Court justice?&#8221; he pointedly questioned. &#8220;This makes no sense at all, other than Amazon made a decision to not show this film because Justice Thomas is a black justice who has conservative views.&#8221;
Paolette notes that Amazon &#8220;has been taking down long-running documentaries from its site with little or no warning, and apparently it is almost impossible to receive a response as to why a documentary was taken down.&#8221;
&#8220;[T]here may be some so-called liberal documentaries that have been taken down during this period,&#8221; he notes, however, &#8220;it is very strange that Amazon could not find space on its website to stream a documentary on our longest-serving black Supreme Court justice in American history that ran on PBS in a national broadcast (no small feat) and is a top-selling DVD in its documentary section, while less popular documentaries on Justice Marshall are still streaming.&#8221;
As <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/02/26/amazon-strips-clarence-thomas-documentary-from-streaming-service-during-black-history-month/">noted</a> by The Federalist, Amazon has &#8220;escalated its censorship of political dissidents.&#8221; Earlier this month, the outlet highlighted, Amazon deplatformed conservative Ryan Anderson&#8217;s book critical of gender theory, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/school-wide-email-condemns-student-for-calling-racist-candace-owens-a-black-trailblazer">The Daily Wire</a> reported earlier this week that a Virginia high school student was publicly attacked for choosing conservative commentator, BLEXIT founder, and author Candace Owens has her “Black Trailblazer” for her Black History Month presentation.
&#8220;The Black Student Union assigned its members to present on &#8216;black trailblazers&#8217; that have contributed to the black community in honor of Black History Month. The presentations were sent out to the school in honor of black accomplishments. For her part, Julia Saville chose Candace Owens,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported. &#8220;On Wednesday, Feb. 17, Saville was scheduled to present on her chosen black trailblazer. When she awoke that morning, she received an email from a classmate condemning Saville for choosing Owens as a &#8216;black trailblazer.&#8217; The email was sent out to all staff and students at the school.&#8221;
