Court reinstates DeSantis' mask mandate ban in Florida schools

The First District Court of Appeal on Friday granted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) approval to uphold an order banning mask mandates in schools, per court documents filed Friday.
Why it matters: The move reverses a decision from earlier this week that paused the state's ability to enforce a ban on strict mask mandates in schools. The state will be able to resume punishing school districts that enforce mandates, which up until this point has included withholding funds from schools.
Driving the news: "When a public officer or agency seeks appellate review, which is the case here, there is a presumption under the rule in favor of a stay, and the stay should be vacated only for the most compelling of reasons," per the order from the 1st District Court of Appeal.
"Given the presumption against vacating the automatic stay, the stay should have been left in place pending appellate review."
The big picture: Second Circuit Judge John Cooper ruled on Wednesday that Florida had to stop enforcing mask bans, refusing to issue a stay as the state appealed his decision.
"We are not in normal times. We are in a pandemic. We have children that can't be protected by vaccination," Cooper said in court, according to NBC Miami. "Children are at risk and they provide at least some protection by masking."
Thirteen of Florida's 67 school districts have strict mask requirements, defying DeSantis' order, per the Miami Herald.
President Biden on Thursday announced the creation of a fund designed to cover funds that are withheld from the state because of their mask rules.
"We have the funding, the resources and the intention of having the back of school leaders in school district superintendents and others who do the right thing by students, and that includes putting in place mask requirements and other requirements that will keep them safe."
— White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Friday.
What they're saying: DeSantis applauded the court's decision, saying it had "restored the right of parents to make the best decisions for their children."
"I will continue to fight for parents' rights," he said in a tweet.
Go deeper: Biden calls GOP governors "cavalier" for resisting vaccine requirements.

Study: J&J vaccine provides little or no protection against Omicron

COVID-19 vaccines produced by Johnson & Johnson and China's Sinopharm, as well as the Russian-made Sputnik V, were found to provide little or no protection against the newly emerging Omicron variant, according to a study out this week.
Driving the news: The study, which was published as a preprint and isn't yet peer-reviewed, found that just three out of 13 people who were fully vaccinated with China's Sinopharm vaccine produced neutralizing antibodies against Omicron.

Report: CDC overcounts millions of vaccinations

The U.S. government has overcounted the number of Americans who are at least partly vaccinated against the coronavirus, Bloomberg reports.
Why it matters: Millions more people than initially thought are unprotected as coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths are rising across the country.

Europe tightens COVID restrictions as Omicron spreads

Tighter COVID-19 restrictions are returning in countries across Europe as case counts rise from the quickly spreading and highly transmissible Omicron variant.
Threat level: Hans Kluge, the World Health Organization's Europe chief, said Tuesday that governments should prepare for "a significant surge" in COVID-19 cases, as Germany and Portugal became the latest countries to announce new measures.


I've had it for about two weeks. I was annoyed when I got it because it was 8 dBA louder than they say it is. Which is a BIG difference. They say it's 50 dBA, it was actually 58 dBA from 7 feet away.
It has a lot of fan noise. The compressor is very quiet. It's a low-temp dehumidifier, so it has to have a big fan to keep the coils from icing up.
The fan turns off when it reaches the desired humidity level. You wouldn't want to sleep nearby because hearing it turn on and off would be hard to get used to.
One feature that I really appreciate is that it has a little red ball that shows you at a glance how full it is.
Also it's Energy Star, fairly energy efficient.

Reference Re Public Service Employee Relations Act (Alta), [1987] 1 S.C.R. 313 is a leading opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada on right to freedom of association under section 2(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Court held that section 2(d) does not include the right to strike.

Background
The province of Alberta referred a reference question to the Alberta Court of Appeal, which was eventually appealed to the Supreme Court. The questions concerned the constitutionality of prohibiting strikes and replacing them with compulsory arbitration.

Opinion of the Court
McIntyre, argued that the freedom of association is an individual right that protects collective activities which are already protected by individual rights. Thus, activities that are prohibited individually are also forbidden collectively. As such, a trade union cannot strike incident to a collective bargain.

Dickson, in dissent, also agreed with the characterization of the freedom, but argued that the right is not associated with particular activities but rather is "a freedom of persons to join and act with others in common pursuits".

Note that this case involved a "double-swing decision" where Dickson was assigned the reasons for the Court at conference but lost the signatures to McIntyre who then lost them to LeDain.

We're entering into the part of summer in NYC when the subway platform feels like purgatory and getting dripped on by an A/C unit elicits a mix of disgust and perverse relief. If you're in dire need of an escape but didn't plan ahead enough to book an Airbnb months ago, there's good news: A tiny weekend-house startup will help you get the hell out of the city with minimal effort and expense.
Getaway builds extremely Instagrammable tiny houses (some as low as $99/night) and places them in the woods outside Boston and New York. The modernist mini-cabins were originally designed by Harvard Design School grads and are super-rustic, meaning there's no Wi-Fi or TV. But there is everything you need to be comfortable, like a queen bed, fresh linens and towels, shower products, kitchenware, fans, and campfire provisions.
The majority of the cabins are located within two hours of the city, but this summer, the company has teamed up with Gateway National Recreation Area to install three tiny houses on New York harbor beaches. The locations are kept secret until after you've booked but they're less than half an hour by car from Prospect Park, and also accessible by public transport. Check out this map of the Gateway National Recreation Area to give you an idea of where they might be.
The cabins are situated a few steps from the beach and cost $150 per night. And unlike every beach house from here to Montauk, there's still plenty of availability between now and Labor Day. That's because the company blocked out half the calendar at the beginning of the season and releases a few dates every morning, which is great for spontaneous types and your commitment-phobic friend who always RSVPs to events as "interested." Bookings are released at 10am every day, so set a calendar alert to check the Gateway website to make sure you nab one of these before summer's over.

Government of India encouraging start-ups in the field of agriculture for enhancing income of farmers
By: The Industry Outlook Team | Friday, 31 July 2020
Government of India is creating a new revolution in the agriculture industry and also building the income of farmers while providing employment opportunities to youth who are into agricultural learning or practices. Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Krishi Vikas Yojana, Government of India is significantly aiding start-ups in the field of agriculture and its allied/cub industries.
Hence, the Agriculture Ministry will supposedly help start-ups under the innovation and agripreneurship component of Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana. During the first phase, numerous startups in the agricultural segment - which is said to be about 112 - would be aided by the Government to integrate technology and help agriculture industry grow to its optimum. Around INR 1185.90 lakhs will be funded to these startups and also to food technology and among others.
Government has been really focusing towards the agriculture sector, which is solely focused to contribute directly or in-directly. The Union Government has precisely focused upon the agriculture segment and also contributes somewhere and somehow.
In order to contribute directly and indirectly to enhancing the income of farmers by providing opportunities to them and to provide employment to youth, start-ups are being encouraged. The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has told that the next-gen technologies will completely transform the field of agriculture and its allied sectors.
So as to ensure innovation and utilize tech driven products and solutions in agriculture and its allied sectors, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had said that start-ups and agri-enterpreneurs need to be promoted thoroughly.
Leveraging IT technology to provide real-time data and information to the farmers has become an utmost necessity to aid farmers and increase its efficiency and productivity. Moreover, as this practice has been going on since ages, Indian communities have a very deep understanding of agriculture domain.
Hence this knowledge should be integrated with the capabilities of today's technologies and also help students to bring agriculture graduates to fill the void in the current marketplace, highlighted the Prime Minister..He further added that the hackathons should be organized twice a year so as to solve and identify various problem areas which will further help in meeting the design requirements for equipments and tools.
The Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister also talked about the steps to attract youth towards agriculture.The government is planning to handhold this segment and bring efficiency and productivity to its optimum level so as to strengthen its economy as a whole.
This would more importantly help in growing the rural economy which is one of the biggest and most important matters in the context to today's scenario. Hence one of the major steps taken by the RKVY (The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna) is that, it would be aiding in strengthening its infrastructure across agriculture and its partner industries.

The Process Church of the Final Judgement
Nothingface by Voivod
Posted on May 2, 2019 April 12, 2020 by Tobe Damit
Voivod's fifth studio album Nothingface was released by Mechanic/MCA Records on October 13, 1989. The album most definitely marked a turning point for the band, expanding their horizon's and exploring more progressive sounds. It was also definitely their most successful album to date. It's where I picked up Voivod myself, having worked to make a video clip outta 2 tracks from their previous album "Dimension Hatröss" with director Claude Grégoire. Away provided a very cool visual look to Nothingface that gave him its homogeneity. Everything makes sense. it's all the same idea, from the same minds all around. One image for each song. (include the cover).
The first track "The Unknown Knows" is very convincing. Having a philosophical New Vision of all things being hyper real in a universe as cold as the temperatures reached in the Great White North. It's crude and doesn't leave you hanging, giving it all to you. If its slowing down its only to pick up on an even more catchy beat. It's perfect for Snake's way of singing but I do prefer the second track by a long shot. "Nothingface" is very melodic and has you want to sing along as it says "Synchro freeze, Loop rewind, Synchro freeze, Loop rewind, Forward speed" and then the rhythm abruptly changes for something more aggressive, totally new rhythms for Voivod but at the same time bearing their undisputable signature. The lyrics are not that existentialists as you would expect from the title but are rather like what you would think of a humanoid and the way it thinks. It's somehow very impersonal and has nothing of a didactic philosophic rambling which is always a good thing. No one likes being told what to do or what to think. It does raises questions but in some fast pace action type of scenario. Bubba is not preaching on the couch here. It's rather life passing you by at an extreme speed, I guess Voivod were in full inspiration phase and delivered one of their best change for a long time and that was the album that would predict what Voivod will be in the future: A constant source of surprises and a blend of style never seen before but always very recognizable. This is compelling me to hear the surprising cover of "Astronomy Domine" that you can hear on the fantastic Pink Floyd album "UmmaGumma". The track was composed by Syd Barrett while he was still in the band and appeared for the first time on their debut album "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". It's a magical experience to listen the tribute that Voivod made out of it. The clip that was brilliantly put together by Pierre Dalpé also really helped to bring that song to being the one almost everyone has heard once in their life, either from Pink Floyd or from Voivod… The 2 versions are very much alike but Voivod's has a metal edge that Pink Floyd doesn't have. The guys from Pink Floyd okayed it and liked it very much by the way. I should have known what they would do with it when Piggy played the song to me and uttered all the others to "To not say a word". I should have guessed they would make a cover out of it but it was a magical idea. It made people realise how much Voivod is capable to make something new with any old prog/psychedelic track.
"Missing Sequences'' is not to be underrated for it is very harmonious too while changing rhythms very often, a trick Voivod has mastered all throughout their career and continue to do with brio. It starts like some Alice Cooper song but soon becomes less like a lullaby and becomes more progressively a chant then a melodic heavy tune… Again with that particular style that is really a revolution for Voivod's fans. Some may have found it not trash enough but Voivod are not a band that can keep on redoing the same formula over and over. They once were the heaviest band on Earth but this is new and it has nothing to wanting to be part of a pop movement since it has evolved in a totally Voivodian style.
"X-Ray Mirror" starts like something we have heard before but again its a trick. Even if it's not a solid piece, it does its job and makes the flow of the album fall into the next song perfectly. it has a very good verse when the harmonic part where they sing "I can't believe this is my image/ Like the mirror without a frame". It's a perfect example of Voivod can do constant changes in the rhythm of a song but that it holds together perfectly because of the Voivodian signature as they sing in the end of the song in a very Burroughsian style: " Within the mirror, Into the chrome lake, The glass is broken, But I look the same" and you hear the mirror being broken…
Follows "Inner-Combustion" that brings a sense of urgency all of a sudden as some chemical reaction takes place as you listen to the lyrics that are very corrosive and visual: "Catalyst fusion, Inner combustion, A transmutation, For I am all, Light rebounds, Pure neon, I surround, Light rebounds…" that leads to another reaction that seems to have links with racism or any kind of prejudicial thinking as "Pre-Ignition", seriously and meticulously deconstruct the way some narrow-minded people might be thinking, some leader whose ideas are not very brilliant.. Nothing shines "Into my Hypercube" where everything is constantly changing and anything can happen without any prerequisites signs, the only thing making sense and linking git all being our creativity and our clairvoyance, it feels like it isn't for anyone to be able to understand and make sense of everything that's going on in this universe, each one of us isolated into our hypercube, trying to survive this infamously cold universe. All this leaves you broken and as the "Sub-Effect" conquers your senses one by one, broken down by society and their lack of control of technology. It's there that resides all the evil.
Away made little drawings, one for each song. Here they are reproduced for your eyes:There are songs but the drawing on the cover is obviously the representing the track called "Nothingface".That makes nine images, one for each song.

Blacky (Jean-Yves Thériault) – bass
Away (Michel Langevin) – drums, visual artwork

Nothingface was Voivod's most successful album to date, and their only album to enter the Billboard 200 charts, where it peaked at number 114. The album's third track, "Astronomy Domine" (a cover of Pink Floyd) was made as a music video and received airplay on MTV's Headbangers Ball.
In 2005, Nothingface was ranked number 350 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.

She also happens to be the youngest daughter of Almazbeck Atambayev, the President of Kyrgyzstan – a conservative Muslim-majority country in Central Asia.
The 20-year-old shared a photo of herself breastfeeding her son in her underwear, causing outrage in her country.
Aliya was accused of being "immoral" and "vulgar".
It is typically acceptable to breastfeed in public in Kyrgysztan, however, it is required to cover yourself and your baby with a cloth.
Even Ms Shagieva's parents, the country's President and First Lady, disapproved.

Snowpack assessments for early April reveal lower levels for northwestern British Columbia and the Burns Lake region.
The Skeena-Nass basin – comprising Houston, Smithers and Terrace – is at 72 per cent, down from 82 per cent in March.
The Upper Fraser West basin, which includes Burns Lake, Fort St. James and Vanderhoof, has a snowpack level of 94 per cent of normal, according to the April 1 data from the BC River Forecast Centre.
The level was 106 per cent of normal for March.
The neighbouring basin of Nechako – in areas including Tahtsa Lake, Skins Lake and Mount Pondosy – is at 72 per cent of the normal snowpack level. It was at 79 per cent of normal in March.
March was very dry across B.C. and the 94 per cent snowpack level for Upper Fraser West was the highest in the province. The lowest recorded level was in the Northwest basin – bordering Alaska and the Yukon – at 47 per cent of normal.
The decrease of snowpack levels from March to April isn't normal, as Dave Campbell, head of BC River Forecast Centre explained to Black Press.
"We start to see the shift between April and May. Normally we should see [levels] stay the same. The declining number shows that there wasn't enough snow accumulated already," he said.
In some years the snowpack levels increase from March to April, such as in 2012 when it went from 144 per cent above normal in the Upper Fraser West basin to 152; in 2013 when it increased from 103 to 119; and last year when it rose from 138 to 145 per cent above normal.
The lower levels across the province for April imply decreased flood risk during the spring snow and ice melt, or freshet season.
"With a lower snowpack, the flood risk is lower, so rain becomes a a big factor in possible floods," Campbell said.
Environment Canada forecasts show that temperature levels for most of B.C. have a probability of being 80 per cent above normal for the April-June period.
The April snowpack level for the Upper Fraser West region is considerably lower than for April of 2018 when it was 145 per cent above normal.
Further into April last year the level went higher, leading to floods in the Houston area during the snowmelt.
Two years ago it was significantly lower, at 66 per cent in March and 85 per cent in April.

Brain Damage by Anti-Psychotic Drugs
How the Victims Are Blamed.
Psychoactive drugs are used to control symptoms in people defined by psychiatrists as depressed, schizophrenic, bipolar, or any of a huge and growing range of pseudo-mental disorders invented by a group of privileged people who vote to add conditions to the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM).
The methods by which these drugs work vary to some degree, but all of them operate by causing brain damage. It isn't surprising that many—perhaps most—people who take these drugs develop movement disorders sooner or later.
Psychiatrists, along with many other doctors, claim that the use of psychoactive drugs is necessary to control symptoms of derangement. They're so sure of it that they presume to pressure and force people, even children as young as two, to take them. When possible, they do not allow people to make their own decisions. In fact, refusing is often considered an indication of mental disorder. They even claim that debilitating movement disorders known to be caused by the drugs are inherent in the condition. They're so sure of it that they don't bother to distinguish between people who've been drugged for years and those who haven't when they do their pseudo-science studies.
Please note that, from this point forward, the terms of psychiatry, such as schizophrenia, are used. It is for convenience, to help streamline the writing and make it easier to follow. It is not meant to indicate that these terms are accepted in the manner that psychiatry uses them.
Claims Schizophrenics Born with Abnormal Physical Symptoms
A new study published in BioMed Central, "Cortico-cerebellar functional connectivity and sequencing of movements in schizophrenia"(1), purports to show that the longer a person is schizophrenic, the worse their motor symptoms become. In the first paragraph of the "Background" section of the paper, they wrote:
NSS are independent of the extrapyramidal adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs; i.e., they are not a result of the treatment [2,3], but a reflection of the basic neurobiology of the illness.
The references, [2,3](2,3), are to two prior studies that claim to show that neurological soft symptoms (NSS) are not caused by drugs, but are inherent in the condition. A look at those two studies shows that they are not primary research, but are meta studies. That is, they're based on reviews of older research that may not have been set up to discover what the meta study is trying to show. That fact alone makes the two references highly suspect. Thus, the very basis of this study is questionable.
Aside from that, a clever little trick has been developed. A new term, neurological soft symptoms, is in use to indicate physical things observed by psychiatrists and researchers, but not demonstrably based in physical changes in the brain. That way, they manage to start discussing things like repetitive motion and lack of motion as potentially physically based, in spite of having no proof that it's true.
One of the tests given to determine whether there are signs of NSS is to have the subject touch his thigh first with the fist, then the palm of the hand, and then the side of the hand. This is repeated and the subject is expected to do it both in order and rhythmically.
Imagine that you're stressed by something traumatic or threatening in your life. How well will you be able to focus on such a pointless instruction? Just try it while you mentally focus on something else and see how well you do. Most of us won't do as well on such a test when there are serious problems in our lives.
It's been found that family members of people given psychiatric diagnoses are more likely to have these NSS symptoms. But isn't it likely that family members will also be living with stressful conditions?
People failing this test can be defined as having a nonexistent disease called pre-schizophrenia. The purpose, of course, is to put them on psychoactive drugs, which will, ultimately cause brain damage that results in genuine movement disorders.
Conflating NSS with Drug-Induced Motor Symptoms
Studies have demonstrated that NSS symptoms worsen the longer a person is schizophrenic. Because most people diagnosed with schizophrenia are drugged, the studies on these people are consistently done on people who are drugged. That's why it was so important to come up with the term NSS. Pseudo-physical symptoms were needed to conflate with real drug-induced ones indicative of brain damage.
Studies have clearly documented that the longer a person uses psychoactive drugs, the more likely—almost to the point of certainty—that the victims will develop brain damage that results in debilitating, deforming, and painful physical symptoms, such as tremors, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia. Unlike the pseudo-symptoms, NSS, these have been shown to be associated with brain damage.
However, that's bad publicity, so it's important to give the impression that schizophrenics are doomed to suffer from that brain damage, with or without drugs. It is, though, rather difficult to find subjects who don't take, and haven't taken, such drugs. So they needed to find a stand-in. That's where NSS comes into the picture.
Studies are now being done to demonstrate that NSS symptoms worsen the longer a person is schizophrenic. The purpose is to give the impression that it's inherent in the disease.
Imagine that you suffer from brain damage that makes it impossible to fully control your body. That's what tardive dyskinesia and tremors are: loss of control of physical movements. Under such conditions, what are the chances of being able to satisfactorily complete tests of NSS?
Yet, we're supposed to accept the idea that NSS symptoms are inborn and a precursor to full-blown mental illness. The researchers behind "Cortico-cerebellar functional connectivity and sequencing of movements in schizophrenia" expect us to accept that taking antipsychotic drugs has nothing to do with worsening NSS—but they don't even attempt to show it! Every subject was taking, and had previously been taking, antipsychotics.
NSSs are conflated with genuine movement disorders to give the impression that schizophrenia is a physical brain disease that should be treated with pharmaceutical drugs.
The upshot of all this is the idea that people with mental disorders are genetically defective.
For the purpose of shoving drugs down people's throats, they give schizophrenia or depression or bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder or opposition defiant disorder whatever other nonsensical pseudo diagnoses they think up next.
It's justified by claiming that these are brain diseases, that they're physical disorders of the brain.
It's never been shown to be true. That's why they invented NSS, neurological soft symptoms. They serve to muddy the waters so that the impression of a physical disorder is given without ever having to prove it. NSS are conflated with real physical movement disorders.
Now they can show that, as the condition worsens—which schizophrenia invariably does when people are given psychoactive drugs—the physical symptoms worsen, too. But, because they've shown that NSS pre-existed the onset of schizophrenia, they give the impression that these symptoms indicate that the natural course of schizophrenia is to grow worse.
And all of that is because of genetics. People who are schizophrenic—or depressed or bipolar or any other label modern psychiatry chooses to use—aren't simply people who are stressed or finding creative ways to deal with problems or functioning in a destructive society. No, people to whom the psychiatrists give labels were born to get them.
The victims of psychiatric labeling have their own genetic makeup to blame. It's even been taken to the point of claiming that people who suffer from schizophrenia also suffer the drug-induced brain damage because they carry a defective gene. A study titled "Non-functional CYP2D6 alleles and risk for neuroleptic-induced movement disorders in schizophrenic patients"(4) is about this claim. The abstract states:
Approximately 5–10% of European Caucasians lack the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6 (so-called poor metabolizers; PM), which normally metabolizes several drugs including many neuroleptics. PM subjects may achieve high or toxic plasma levels upon standard drug therapy.
The authors are using the term "normal" to refer to metabolization of drugs, which are chemicals that have no place in metabolism! They are claiming that it is a defect for anyone to be unable to "properly" metabolize a pharmaceutical drug. This is nonsense of the highest order.
The implication, of course, is that no one other than people with a genetic defect would be harmed by psychoactive drugs. In fact, by their logic, only people whom they believe need them are harmed by them. How's that for reasoning ability?
Psychiatry: An Inherently Fraudulent Field
The twisted thinking that's required to accept modern psychiatric treatments gets stranger and weirder. Psychiatry's basic assumption is simply not true.
The claim that mental illness is a result of brain dysfunction, that it's a brain disease or disorder, has no basis in reality.
Attempts to support that idea start with the invention of mental disorders based on popular vote of a select few psychiatrists, the great majority of whom have ties to the pharmaceutical corporations that benefit from sales of the drugs prescribed for those nonexistent diseases.
To accept the games played to give a veneer of science to modern psychiatry reveals either completely foolishness or utter hubris of the profession:
New studies, like "Cortico-cerebellar functional connectivity and sequencing of movements in schizophrenia" must be based on demonstrably false studies, as shown above.
Concepts with a semblance of truth, like NSS, are conflated with utterly false ones, such as the idea that schizophrenic patients would develop the same horrific adverse effects with or without prescribed drugs.
Utterly absurd claims that genetic predisposition, even the crazy idea that a gene making someone unable to metabolize drugs is an inherent flaw, are presented as the cause of psychiatric disorders or the adverse effects of pharmaceutical drugs.
A research effort to prove these inherently false claims of psychiatry has been launched, and the deeper they get into it, the deeper the hole they dig. But it never gets deep enough to hide all the manure they pour into it.

President Trump's Nominees Are Making a "Texas-Sized" Impact for Religious Liberty in the 5th Circuit
Home » President Trump's Nominees Are Making a "Texas-Sized" Impact for Religious Liberty in the 5th Circuit
In 2017, at the beginning of the current administration, Texas was among the states with the highest number of judicial vacancies. Today, however, the federal bench in the Lone Star state is slightly more crowded.
So far, the U.S. Senate and the administration have worked together to confirm 17 judges to the federal district courts in Texas, and three judges to Texas spots on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
Because of the unprecedented pace of confirmations that has taken place over the last three years, only one vacancy remains to be filled, a seat in the Southern District of Texas, for which one nominee is currently pending.
More noteworthy perhaps, is the fact that the 20 empty slots in Texas were filled with nominees who represent a new generation of conservative judges—many of whose records show they will interpret the Constitution according to its original meaning and protect religious freedom as America's Founders intended.
Let's take a deeper look at what kind of impact these judges will have in safeguarding religious liberty in Texas, across the entire 5th Circuit and for people of faith nationwide.
Reclaiming the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals
Only a few months after being confirmed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge James Ho handed down a poignant opinion in a case involving the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops, which was ordered to hand over 6,000 pages of its internal correspondence as part of a discovery process.
Judge Ho—who was one of the most active volunteer network attorneys with First Liberty Institute—held true to his originalist reputation, stating:
"It is hard to imagine a better example of how far we have strayed from the text and original understanding of the Constitution than this case. The First Amendment expressly guarantees the free exercise of religion…[It's] with regret that the relief we grant today is even necessary".
And Judge Ho isn't the only appellate judge who's brought a wealth of experience and a proven record in defending religious freedom.
Judge Kyle Duncan, who is now the appointed judge to a Louisiana seat on the 5th Circuit, was the lawyer who represented and won a victory for a faith-based company in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby. To refresh your memory, this was the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that affirmed the government cannot force businesses to cover contraceptive services if owners object based on their sincerely-held beliefs.
Pro-Religious Freedom Judges in the District Courts
Beyond the circuit level, we can also see that the bench is deep in the district courts that fall within the 5th Circuit's jurisdiction, where a number of pro-religious freedom judges have been confirmed.
For example, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk currently serves in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. As a former FLI Deputy General Counsel, Judge Kacsmaryk's record on religious freedom is abundantly clear. Additionally, his appointment to the federal bench is an historic milestone, as Kacsmaryk is the first confirmed judge who's gone directly from a nonprofit religious liberty law firm to the federal judiciary.
Just east of Texas, Judge Michael Juneau was appointed by the current president to serve in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. During his private practice, Judge Juneau devoted time to defend religious liberty as a volunteer attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an allied nonprofit religious liberty legal group.
Offering pro bono legal expertise and representation in religious freedom cases is common among elite lawyers. In fact, many of our nation's federal judges—including Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh—previously represented people of faith and defended their first constitutional freedom.
Two Vacancies to Help Solidify the Conservative Majority in Mississippi
While there is much to celebrate given that the current president has appointed multiple conservative, pro-religious freedom judges in Texas and Louisiana, there are several seats that remain vacant.
To date, the current administration and the Senate have yet to confirm a nominee to the federal district courts in Mississippi. However, the president has an opportunity to fill two vacancies in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. If he remains consistent with his prior record of nominating proven judicial conservatives, the president can further solidify the majority of conservative judges in that district.
2020 is a critical year, when the stakes for our constitutional rights are at an all-time high. In order to continue reclaiming religious liberty in our country, it's imperative that our federal judiciary be staffed with judges whose credentials, prior decisions and judicial philosophy reflect a deep respect for our fundamental freedoms, and who interpret the Constitution according to its original text.
By filling all the remaining vacancies (about 70) with textualist appointees, the president will have accomplished the remarkable feat of replacing 30% of the entire federal judiciary with judges that will protect and defend religious liberty for the next generation and beyond.
Reclaiming America's judiciary starts by having judges who will go "Back to the Constitution."

If you're like us, you've probably persevered on your training bike through some bone-chilling temperatures and downright nasty conditions in late autumn and early winter. No doubt, your feet were probably a bit cold, especially with near-freezing temperatures and blustery conditions stealing any precious warmth trapped under your socks. The answer to your cold-footed cycling woes lies in the Road Gore-Tex Thermo Overshoe by Gore Bike Wear, which features a cozy thermo lining that locks in extra warmth from escaping in the cold.
This overshoe features a Gore-Tex WindStopper membrane for total windproof protection, as well as high levels of breathability and water-resistance. What makes it different from the vast majority of overshoes is the thermo lining, which traps precious warmth from escaping into the surrounding air. This means your feet will stay pleasantly warm when you're attempting to keep up with your training routine through nasty cold fronts.
I am a commuter biker. I ride about 8 miles one way in the Bold North. I need overshoes that fit over street shoes because if my bike fails I am not walking the last three miles to work in cycling shoes. These overshoes fit the bill. A size 11-13 fits nicely over my size 8.5 New Balance running shoes. That's all I really want... These overshoes keep my feet warm and are easy to put on and take off. The Velcro straps on the bottom make it easy to size the overshoe. My feet stay warm. These are not stretchy like neoprene overshoes so be careful about the sizing. Good product. Works well for me.
They resist! But do yourself a favor and get one size larger.
In theory, new design should improve on old one, well not here. The old Goretex Thermo shoe cover was almost perfect. It was warm, tall, provides enough coverage and has the great velcro closure, which makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze. The new one is worse in every conceivable way. Less warm, does not have enough coverage and the zipper does not even come close to the Velcro. What the hell they were thinking?

Israel approves 4th vaccine dose for most vulnerable
TEL AVIV (AP) — Israel has approved a fourth vaccine dose for people most vulnerable to COVID-19, an official said Thursday, becoming one of the first countries to do so as it braces for a wave of infections fueled by the omicron variant.
Nachman Ash, the director general of the Health Ministry, announced the decision at a press conference, saying the doses would initially be given to those with weakened immune systems.
"We will continue to track the data on a daily basis and we will see if we need to broaden this recommendation to more of the population," he said.
The Sheba Medical Center later said it would begin administering the fourth dose to heart transplant patients early on Friday. Israel launched trials of the fourth dose at the center earlier this week, administering it to some 150 medical personnel who had gotten a booster in August.
Israel was among the first countries to roll out Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine a year ago and began rolling out boosters last summer. But it still saw a wave of infections blamed on the delta variant, and officials have warned of another driven by the fast-spreading omicron.
Around two-thirds of Israel's population of nearly 9.5 million have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and some 4.2 million Israelis have received all three doses, according to the latest Health Ministry figures.
"Israel will lead the way in administering a fourth vaccine (dose) to the Israeli people," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement. "Israel's strategy for overcoming omicron is clear: The greater the wave, the greater the protection we will need to overcome it."
Earlier Thursday, Israel received its first shipment of pills that treat the worst effects of the virus.
It's among of the first countries to receive Pfizer's Paxlovid, a pill that can be taken at home to ward off the most severe symptoms of the coronavirus. All the previously authorized drugs require an IV or injection.
Israeli media reported that the first shipment consists of 20,000 doses, with more expected as Pfizer ramps up production.
Israel currently has more than 22,000 active patients, including more than 90 who are seriously ill. At least 8,243 people have died from COVID-19 in Israel since the start of the pandemic.
Last week, Chile announced that it would start offering a fourth dose in February. Chile has reported almost 86% of its population fully vaccinated, making it the country with the highest level of immunization against the coronavirus in Latin America.
