“Anti-vaxxer Canadian ranch retreat has lassoed my £2,000”
I deferred my holiday because of lockdown but now the owner refuses to accept vaccinated guests – and has kept my money
Before the pandemic, I booked a £2,000 retreat, hanging out with horses on a Canadian ranch, for May 2020. When lockdowns began, the ranch informed customers that no refunds would be given but that bookings would be honoured when they were ready and able to travel again. I knew they were a small family business so I accepted that. Now I’ve received a newsletter stating that vaccinated customers are not welcome as the vaccine could transfer to the animals. The ranch owner declares that we will not receive refunds because the business is “nearly bankrupt” and suggests we sell our holiday to someone unvaccinated.

Distressing videos show parents begging cops to stop Texas school shooting
Harrowing videos captured the heartbreaking wails of parents begging cops to “Go protect the kids!” during the Texas school shooting — with some suggesting they “just rush” the school themselves.
The livestreamed footage captured the unbearable anguish as parents rushed to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, where deranged gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, was inside for up to an hour as he killed 19 kids and two teachers.
‘The police were doing nothing’: Uvalde police handcuffed and pepper-sprayed parents, who urged them to storm the school, including the dad of a murdered girl and a mom-of-two who got free, jumped a fence and rescued her kids herself
Uvalde police are facing new criticism over first-hand accounts and videos showing them handcuffing and restraining frantic parents, who were urging them to storm the Robb Elementary school building amid the massacre.
‘The police were doing nothing,’ Angeli Rose Gomez told the Wall Street Journal. ‘They were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.’
Gomez has two children in second and third grade and she reportedly drove 40 miles to the school after hearing of the attack.
A video recorded outside Robb Elementary School on Tuesday reveals new details about the timeline of the Uvalde shooting and shows parents who shouted the police response was inadequate and sluggish.

Texas cops reveal there was NO armed guard on campus when gunman walked through unlocked door with his AR-15: First officers on scene retreated when he opened fire on them then waited an HOUR for SWAT
Texas cops have revealed that there was no armed guard on campus when the gunman arrived on Tuesday which allowed him to walk ‘unobstructed’ through an unlocked door and into the building where he slaughtered 21 people.
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Victor Escalon, the Regional Director for the Department of Public Safety South Texas, said Salvador Ramos walked through an unlocked door ‘unobstructed’ and that there was no guard ‘readily available’.
It contradicts earlier reports that he fired at a school resource officer.

‘Putin’s terror affects everyone’: anarchists join Ukraine’s war effort
In an unnamed basement bar in central Kyiv, Ukrainian anarchists have created a headquarters where they gather supplies to send to their peers on the frontlines and welcome anarchists from abroad who have come to fight.
It is unusual to see anarchists supporting state structures, but they say taking action against Russia is necessary for their survival. “We are fighting to protect the more or less free society that exists in Ukraine,” said an activist, Dmytro. “Without which there would be no space for activism or underground movements.”

Unhinged Joy Reid: GOP & NRA’s Tolerance for Slaughter Is Bottomless

During the opening segment on her show The ReidOut, she lashed out at Republicans and the National Rifle Association (NRA) and made the recklessly irresponsible claim that their “tolerance for slaughter [is] bottomless.”

Cultural Sensitivity Is Getting in the Way of Stopping Monkeypox
Sorting through expert opinion on Monkeypox runs into some very 2022 problems
Monkeypox. My patients are asking about it, so I decided to educate myself about it, and share what I learned. What I found is that it’s probably not as mysterious as the media presents it. However, it’s no mystery why what’s likely going on is being soft-pedaled. It’s insensitive.

VILLAINS, UNITED? Soros Poured Millions into Groups Trying to Bring Down Musk
VILLAINS, UNITED? Soros Poured Millions into Groups Trying to Bring Down Musk
Liberal billionaire mega-donor George Soros funded at least five organizations behind a now infamous letter that claimed Musk’s expected buyout of Twitter “will silence and endanger marginalized communities, and tear at the fraying fabric of democracy.” Open Society Foundations records indicate that Soros gave five of the groups behind that letter a whopping total of $3,915,000 from 2016 to 2020. All five groups — NARAL Pro-Choice America, Free Press, the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), Access Now and UltraViolet — support a variety of radical causes, including abortion, censorship and anti-woman gender ideology.
