The Washington Post has fired reporter Felicia Sonmez after a week of newsroom turmoil that started when Post reporter Dave Weigel retweeted a politically incorrect joke that triggered Sonmez and led to Weigel being suspended without pay for thirty days. Sonmez, who has self-admitted trauma issues, then spent everyday since agitating online about the Post’s alleged mistreatment of employees and fighting with colleagues even after Executive Editor Sally Buzbee issued a blanket statement to all to stop the infighting.

Sonmez leaving the Post was first reported by the Daily Beast and quickly confirmed by others who reported she was fired.

The Washington Post has parted ways with national political reporter Felicia Sonmez, The Daily Beast has confirmed, capping off a week’s worth of highly public drama at the paper.

Sonmez’s apparent exit from the paper comes after a week of WaPo infighting that stoked heated conversations over newsroom inequity and social-media use, with multiple reporters taking shots at one another in public.

Dylan Byers, “NEWS: Felicia Sonmez was *fired* by The Washington Post, per sources familiar. This was not a separation agreement.”

CNN’s Oliver Darcy who has been covering the troubles at the Post confirmed the firing.

Thursday morning Sonmez was still attacking the Post on Twitter in a thread that started with her responding to a report about her “trauma”

“I stand by what I wrote in that email. In 2018, I was punished after I told my editors I needed to take a walk around the block after reading a difficult story. Other colleagues have been punished for their trauma far more recently, but their stories aren’t mine to tell. 1/…I don’t know who the colleagues anonymously disparaging me in media reports are. But I do know that the reporters who issued synchronized tweets this week downplaying the Post’s workplace issues have a few things in common with each other. 9/ – They are all white – They are among the highest-paid employees in the newsroom, making double and even triple what some other National desk reporters are making, particularly journalists of color – They are among the “stars” who “get away with murder” on social media. 10/”

Earlier this year Sonmez lost a lawsuit against the Post alleging workplace discrimination over her being a sexual assault victim. Sonmez reportedly appealed the judgment. (excerpt from Politico):

A judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Washington Post by one of its reporters, Felicia Sonmez, over her claims that the paper illegally discriminated against her as a sexual assault victim when it banned her from reporting on such issues.

D.C. Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein ruled that Sonmez’s suit did not plausibly allege a valid discrimination claim under D.C. law because the Post appeared to have limited her assignments based on concerns about the paper’s perceived impartiality rather than based on her gender or the fact she had publicly claimed to be the victim of sexual assault while working for other news outlets in China in 2017.

Sonmez does not appear to have commented publicly yet on her reported firing by the Post.

The Otero County Commission had a long day of discussions and reports today and then they landed upon the issues with the 2020 Election.  They voted to eliminate voting machines in the county!

After a day of discussions, the Otero Commission voted on the three following items.

These commissioners were fearless.  The more flack they got the more they knew they were over the target.  They wanted every legal vote to count.

“We do all want the same thing.  We all want a fair election”

“If we don’t find out what’s going on, we’ll never know.”

Wow, these commissioners were great.

Here is the full day’s presentation – this discussion occurred at the end of the day.

Major hat tips to Attorney David Clements and his wife Erin Clements and all those in New Mexico who helped make free and fair elections a thing of the future in this county.

It’s official – Pfizer’s “fully approved” and experimental mRNA vaccine, dubbed “Comirnaty,” was nothing more than a head-fake.

Earlier this week, the notorious experimental vaccine maker quietly submitted an update to the CDC, admitting that its originally licensed “Comirnaty” vaccine will never be distributed for use.

In other words, Pfizer has exclusively been supplying its version of the experimental vaccine that was granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA – aka, zero Pfizer-branded vaccines given in the US have been “fully approved.”

From the Pfizer update, via independent journalist Jordan Schachtel:

TRENDING: Two Utah Moms File Open Records Requests on Election Records – State Lt. Gov. Tips Off Reporter, Blocks Them from Access, and Feds Are Called In

“Pfizer received initial FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY). At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename. These NDCs will not be manufactured. Only NDCs for the subsequently BLA approved tris-sucrose formulation will be produced.”

The “silent” update, which was posted –  unannounced – on the CDC’s website, comes after months of posturing by Pfizer and US public health officials, who all claimed the vaccine was “fully approved” and, therefore, you should take it.

In reality, there was as much a “fully approved” vaccine as there was proof of bigfoot – but the jab had the credentials it needed. Even more concerningly, the FDA deceptively sent out two letters regarding the separate jabs (Comirnaty and EUA) which helped confuse the public and aided in the fake-news media’s manipulation.

Until the FDA’s announcement in August 2021, Millions of Americans had been hesitant to take the vaccine because of its temporary approval status – as many as 30% of the unvaccinated, according to polling cited by Anthony Fauci at the time. Because of this, the Biden Regime capitalized on the FDA’s decision in an effort to increase uptake and quell vaccine hesitancy, and, sadly, it worked.

Not only did the FDA’s fake approval also serve as the catalyst for a massive wave of mandates, both by Biden federally and by Democrat tyrants alike, but the deceptive move also increased overall vaccine uptake by a massive 36% (minus the mandates), according to one study published in the Journal for American Medicine Association (JAMA).

Unsurprisingly, researchers found that series-completing vaccinations (2nd & 3rd dose etc.) saw the largest increase of all, with a 77% uptick post-‘approval’.

The FDA’s decision also sent shockwaves around the world, compelling hesitant citizens of other western nations to also take the vaccine. Millions were misled by the ‘experts.’ Is that not criminal medical malpractice, at the very, very least?

Unfortunately, any hope of accountability for this is a long shot right now. In addition to the treasonous Biden Regime holding the keys, Pfizer is completely exempt from damages related to its experimental mRNA vaccine thanks to its status under EUA. As Dr. Robert Malone – the inventor of mRNA technology – has said for months, if Pfizer doesn’t give out its ‘fully approved’ version, they keep the immunity, and, that’s exactly what they’ve done.

From Dr. Malone:

“It’s called Comirnaty… and it’s not yet available, they haven’t started manufacturing it or labeling it, and that’s the one that the liability waiver will no longer apply to. So the one that’s actually licensed is not yet available, and when it does become available it will no longer have the liability shield. In the interim, the one that does have the liability shield is the Pfizer product.”

However, fraus omnia corrumpit (fraud corrupts all), as the saying goes. The actions of all parties involved are enough to trash any legal protections afforded to them, so, all we need are some serious people back in DC.

Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks at the IV CEO Summit of Americas in Downtown Los Angeles.

Biden’s 13-minute speech was full of gaffes and awkward jokes.

Joe Biden could barely read his teleprompter.

No wonder why his handlers limited his speech to 13 minutes.

“To lower the risk around these kinds of investments. Support policy reforms and improve investment and climate in countries. Uh, excuse me. The investment climate. The climate of investment in these countries,” Biden said losing the battle with his teleprompter.

At the end of his speech, Biden told a story about his grandparents telling him to ‘keep the faith.’

Joe Biden leaned forward and whispered: “And my grandmother would say, ‘no, Joey, spread it! Spread the faith.’”

Joe Biden waved as he shuffled away from the lectern (notice his gait).

WATCH:

Grand Rapids, Michigan officer Christopher Schurr was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Patrick Lyoya, a black man.

Patrick Lyoya was fatally shot by Officer Schurr after violently resisting arrest in April.

As previously reported, various videos of the scene show Lyoya, 26, and another passenger being pulled over in a residential neighborhood.

Officer Christopher Schurr exited his patrol car and instructed Lyoya to stay in his car.

Lyoya exits his vehicle despite officer Schurr yelling at him to “stay in the car” repeatedly.

After some back-and-forth over a license plate and driver’s license, officer Schurr chases Lyoya and the two end up on the ground fighting over a taser gun.

Schurr repeatedly tells Lyoya to “let go of the taser” – shortly after another struggle, the cop shoots Lyoya in the head.

Patrick Lyoya has a long criminal history that includes a conviction for assaulting a pregnant woman in Kentwood, Michigan.

Officer Schurr was charged with second-degree murder, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Schurr faces LIFE IN PRISON.

NBC News reported:

A Michigan prosecutor has charged a Grand Rapids police officer who fatally shot Patrick Lyoya during a traffic stop in April with one count of second-degree murder.

Kent County prosecutor Chris Becker announced his decision Thursday after he spent six weeks reviewing forensic and toxicology reports, as well as the results of an official investigation conducted by Michigan State Police.

“This is not a quick decision I took lightly,” Becker said when announcing the charge. “I hope that it sends the message that we take these cases seriously.”

“Everyone thinks prosecutors are an arm or branch for police and we are not … Our duty is pubic safety, we work with them but we don’t work for them.”

Becker said charges have already been filed against Officer Christopher Schurr. The officer has turned himself in and will be arraigned on Friday, he added.

A second-degree murder charge is a felony offense in Michigan punishable up to life in prison.

On Thursday, during a hearing in the chamber, Congressman Troy Nehls of Texas called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the January 6 Committee for failing to prepare appropriately for the safety and security of the Nation’s Capitol in 2020.  

During a roughly 3-minute speech from the House floor, Nehls referred to an internal intelligence briefing from January 3, 2020, in which federal intelligence agents warned of the impending violence and possible protests that would occur just three days later.  

“Congress itself is the target” as a “worry-some call for violence” has been identified, and a “possibility that protestors may be inclined to become violent,” he read from the briefing. The briefing said that there was concern the day’s events would attract “white supremacists” and “militia members,” who, the memo said, “actively promote violence.”

Ultimately it conveyed the day’s events may lead to a “significantly dangerous situation for law enforcement and the general public alike.”

The stark warning was issued just days before the January 6 riots at the capitol; a notice shared with the U.S. Capitol Police. 

Nehls asked the Speaker, “So, why didn’t they request the National Guard?” He was referring to the U.S. Capitol Police, tasked with guarding the nation’s capital and preserving peace. 

Nehls said shortly after the events, he was able to speak to former D.C. National Guard Commander William Walker about the events of January 6. 

He asked Walker, “If the National Guard have been on our Nation’s Capitol on January 4, as the intelligence called for, would January 6 have ever happened?”

Walker replied, “No.”

Nehls reiterated that the U.S. Capitol Police failed to prepare and do their job as expected. 

He then turned his attention to the January 6 Committee, calling it a “sham committee” that continues to give the U.S. Capitol Police a “free pass.”

He said the committee is clearly “not about finding the truth” but rather a “sad attempt to try and put the blame on Donald Trump.”

He noted that the committee focused on keeping Trump from being a nominee for the 2024 Presidential Election because, as Nehls put it, “they cannot beat him.”

He criticized Democrats, saying they know they cannot win an election “fairly,” but instead, they choose to use “every dirty trick in the book and try to cheat their way to a win.” 

Nehls concluded his speech by highlighting that the American people will “have their voices heard” at the polls in November because he believes they see through the “sham.”

There are multiple victims reported in a mass shooting that took place Thursday afternoon at a manufacturing plant in the western Maryland town of Smithsburg, with unconfirmed reports of fatalities. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the shooter is “no longer a threat.”

WCSO statement posted to Facebook:

On June 9, 2022, at approximately 2:30 PM, deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 12900 block of Bikle Road, Smithsburg, MD, in reference to a shooting.

At this time the Sheriff’s Office can confirm that there are multiple victims and the suspect is no longer a threat to the community.
This is a rapidly evolving incident and we will release information as we are able.

A video taken near the scene contains the sound of gunfire (and a lot of cussing.)

And another video from the witness says the shooter was detained and probably shot. The witness says the suspect was driving to a car and crashed into a police car blocking the road. The suspect opened fire on police who returned fire. The gunfire exchange can be heard in the above video.

Overview:

Trump Endorsed Candidate for Secretary of State Mark Finchem and Trump-endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are seeking a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit against Maricopa and Pima Counties and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to ban the use of “black box” voting machines in Arizona.

The new motion filed Wednesday in federal court seeks to prevent the use of unsecure electronic voting machines in future elections, including the 2022 election.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that the federal Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a report on Dominion Voting Machines admitting massive vulnerabilities and potential for hacking but continued claims that there was no evidence of fraud in the shady and stolen 2020 election.

Testimony by Professor J. Alex Halderman, who discovered these machine vulnerabilities, is cited numerous times in Lake and Finchem’s new petition.

Electronic voting machines are proven to be compromised and cannot be trusted. “Arizona voters no longer know whether their vote has been accurately tabulated or manipulated,” contends the new pleading.

Mot. for Prelim. Inj. &… by Jordan Conradson

Mark Finchem released a statement on Wednesday announcing this new filing in federal court.

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – State Representative Mark Finchem announced that attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz, representing him and Kari Lake, today filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in federal court to stop the use of “unsecure black box electronic voting machines” in Arizona.

Representative Finchem issued the following statement regarding the filing:

We have filed a motion seeking to ban the use of black box electronic voting machines in Arizona’s elections while the case is pending.

It’s a reasonable question to ask the defendants whether they know how these electronic machines actually work. They are a BLACK BOX – and the voting machine companies REFUSE to make their systems and software open to the public. WHY WOULD ANYONE TRUST THEM?

The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the documented and unfixable security failures in electronic voting machines—and the lack transparency in these voting systems—violates citizens’ constitutional rights and 42 U.S. § 1983 including: the Fundamental Right to Vote in Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment; and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Guarantee of Equal Protection.

This is not a partisan issue. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have long criticized the inherent vulnerabilities and insecurity of electronic voting machines, including then-Senator Kamala Harris and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Senator Amy Klobuchar.

The defendants include Katie Hobbs in her official capacity as Secretary of State, and members of the Board of Supervisors for Maricopa and Pima Counties in their official capacities.

Today, we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the use of these unsecure black box voting machines while the case is pending. For this, the law requires us to show that (1) we are likely to succeed on the merits, (2) we will likely suffer irreparable harm if these machines are used, (3) that the balance of equities tips in our favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the

public interest. The motion for a preliminary injunction includes evidence and sworn declarations from five top former military and civilian cyber and cyber-security experts.

For specific relief, the lawsuit proposes a secure alternative to electronic voting machines involving precinct-level hand counting procedures of ballots on secure paper and cameras allowing total transparency to the public including an auditable tabulation.

On Tuesday, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.

Defendants claim that it’s too late to fix this—that we are stuck with these BLACK BOX voting machines.

WRONG. We are not stuck with these machines.

Defendants claim that Arizona’s spot checks prevent fraud.

WRONG. Procedures like 2% spot checks do not prevent fraud.

Defendants claim that there is not enough time to institute a hand count strategy.

WRONG. The same people that want to keep these machines are just like the people who oppose voter ID.

Defendants claim the machines are independently tested.

SO WHAT? If that made a difference, why do we keep finding security failures?

Every state needs to ban these corrupted machines.

The media will never report Joe Biden is a perpetrator.
Any American who behaved this way in the private sector would be first warned and then walked out the door if the behavior continued.

But we are supposed to not notice this continued pawing and groping by President Biden.

Biden pawed the girlfriend of President Fernandez from Argentina today.
