The “passports” would provide proof of immunization or a negative COVID-19 test to ease travel, with airline and other travel agencies expressing hope that they would persuade the government to lift travel restrictions.

Applebaum argues, “An internet that promotes democratic values instead of destroying them-that makes conversation better instead of worse-lies within our grasp.”
In a head fake, Applebaum condemns Chinese internet censorship then goes on to promote communist-style regulations on internet free speech to prevent unwanted ideas from taking root. The ideas Anne does not approve of. There is nothing democratic about Applebaum’s ideas. Instead, they wreak of the same old authoritarianism of the modern-day left.

Whenever You Disagree With Liberals, You’re a Conspiracy Theorist
Any criticism of a leftist like Joe Biden is deemed “conspiracy theory,” and the next stage in the conspiracy theory fantasia is to punish conspiracy theorists. It’s commonplace already to boot so-called conspiracy theorists off social media — hence the results for “Hunter Biden China” — as well as shelving them in search results. It’s not just a few who are the victims of this censorship — there must be millions who have seen their comments disappear. Just google “Biden’s worst policies in 2021” and you’ll get a list of the “challenges” he faces and his skill at facing them along with a silly satire of Biden’s critics, a defense of his climate change and wealth gap policies, a report that Biden is viewed more positively than Trump, and an op-ed that Biden is among the best incoming presidents in history.
You have to go beyond the first page to find any serious criticism of President Biden. It seems that the algorithms are replacing articles critical of Biden with articles that lavish praise on him — and presumably, those algorithms are written by someone at Google. I believe that the same thing is going on at Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, and almost every other popular online site, and at the largest television and newspaper outlets as well. There now appears to be a propaganda effort, coordinated in some sense, to control what is said on every major venue of news and opinion (even Fox News bowed to pressure and released Lou Dobbs, the most outspoken and conservative of its commentators).
If we now live with a state-controlled media that scrubs all criticism of the left, the next step is intimidation of conservatives who continue to speak honestly. It won’t stop with Lou Dobbs — it will reach down farther into the lives of ordinary citizens. A teacher who is not enthusiastic enough in her praise of the left, a business that fails to pony up for Democrat candidates, a housewife who forwards a bit of humor at the left’s expense to her Facebook friends — they’ll all face a knock on the door in the middle of the night, or its virtual equivalent.

The crowd is seen without face masks or any respect for social distancing regulations, and is believed to consist mainly of locals, but some attendants had also arrived from Creil and Aubervilliers.
As Le Parisien reported, for some reason, the mood was intense, and, in the rush that followed the video shoot, a police patrol on duty nearby was targeted. No arrests were made, and, fortunately, there were no injuries.

Spain: Pol Lirola & Another Marseille Player Accused of Holding an Illegal Party
Marca report that the Badalona National Guard is accusing a footballer of the Marseille first team, believed to be Pol Lirola per local outlets, for organising an illegal party in a house in the town, in which about 30 people participated, all of them sanctioned for breaking the COVID restrictions. Another Marseille player was also present at the party.
The local police went last night to a house in Mas Ram, after several neighbours complained of noise after curfew hours. Upon arrival, the tenants refused to open the door to the officers, so they had to wait until they received authorisation from the property owner, who was renting it to Sunday night’s revellers.
According to police sources, once inside, the Guàrdia Urbana found 33 people guilty of violating the COVID-19 health regulations, including a Marseille player. They also found the three organisers, among them another footballer from the same team, guilty of demonstrating serious disobedience towards officers.
Since last week, the local police have dismantled a total of nine illegal private parties in Badalona. Alongside Lirola, Leonardo Balerdi is understood to be the other OM player.

UK Teacher Forced Into Hiding After Showing Students a Caricature of Muhammad
The United Kingdom is currently dealing with the case of a teacher showing Prophet Muhammad cartoons to his primary school stiudents during a religious education class in Batley, West Yorkshire, resulting in the teacher being suspended. The school principal has apologized, but demonstrations in front of the school continue.
Meanwhile, politicians have gotten involved in the debate.
The unnamed educator showed the students a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad, published by the monthly Charlie Hebdo, during a religion lesson. He allegedly warned them before showing the drawing, saying that the cartoons were to serve as a visual aid in a class devoted to the topic of blasphemy.
Once the children at home told their parents what subjects they were discussing that day, a wave of resentment arose among some Muslim parents, resulting in a group of local Muslims demonstrating in front of the school for several days since the incident.
Due to the cartoons, the Charlie Hebdo editorial office in Paris became the target of a terrorist attack in 2015, in which radicals murdered 12 people. Last year, teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded by a young Chechen for showing his students the same drawing in an incident that rocked France and led for calls to tackle radical Islam.
The British teacher is now allegedly in hiding, the school is closed, and has since switched to distance learning.

Ship Illegal Alien Minors Back to Their Parents Now
The disaster on our southern border since the illegitimate lying, cheating “president” Joe Biden was installed in OUR house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave was as predictable as a two-year old throwing a temper tantrum. No question open borders have always been the goal of the shadow government because it will ultimately destroy the middle class. The game plan underway for decades. Without a healthy middle class, the economy will collapse.
President-Elect, Donald Trump, despite multiple politically biased decisions by robes on the bench, managed to get several hundreds of miles of wall built. ‘The wall’ which was highly successful in stopping hordes of illegal aliens. Biden’s handlers (Communist Valeria Jarrett and empty suit, Hussein Obama) immediately killed all construction. EXCLUSIVE: Biden Spending Millions per Day to Halt Border Wall Construction
Trump killed the insane ‘catch and release’ policy of releasing rapists, murderers, thieves, sexual predators, terrorists and other assorted scum into our cities and towns. Pervert Biden who loves to sniff little girl’s hair and paw them in public at photo ops overturned Trump’s effective weapon so once again rapists, murderers, thieves, sexual predators, terrorists and other assorted scum are now back to being released into our communities.
