BERENSON---ANDY SLAVITT'S CENSORSHIP EFFORTS AT WHITE HOUSE EVEN EXTENDED TO AMAZON AND THE BOOKS IT SOLD

Andy Slavitt's censorship efforts at the White House even extended to Amazon and the books it sold...He didn't just press social media companies. Slavitt targeted Amazon, by far the world's largest bookseller, too. No wonder he's defying a subpoena and refusing to testify under oath to Congress.

Andrew Slavitt - the former senior advisor to the Biden administration’s Covid response team - is having himself a week.

Last Wednesday, Slavitt told a Congressional committee he would ignore its subpoena demanding he testify about his efforts in 2021 to suppress reporting that raised doubts about the safety or efficacy of Covid vaccines. (Slavitt is a defendant in Berenson v Biden, my federal lawsuit over the conspiracy to force Twitter to ban me for my reporting on the Covid mRNA jabs in August 2021.)

But despite Slavitt’s silence - which the Biden Administration has endorsed by promising not to enforce the subpoena - the truth about his efforts to violate the First Amendment keeps coming.

Yesterday, Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which issued the subpoena, released a new batch of emails showing how far Slavitt went in 2021. MORE AT (5) Andy Slavitt's censorship efforts at the White House even extended to Amazon and the books it sold (substack.com)

GRAND JURY VINDICATES 5 COVID CLAIMS YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO SAY

A Florida grand jury released its first interim report on its investigation into potential ‘wrongdoing’ by Covid vaccine manufacturers.

SHAWN FLEETWOOD---VISIT ON TWITTER@SHAWNFLEETWOOD----Following months of fact-gathering, a Florida grand jury released its first interim report on Friday regarding its investigation into potential “wrongdoing” by Covid vaccine manufacturers and entities who promoted the shots.

Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with determining whether “pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” partook in “criminal activity or wrongdoing” concerning “their involvement in the development, approval or marketing of COVID-19 vaccines.” In years prior, individuals who dared to broach such topics online were often censored by Big Tech at the behest of the federal government.  MORE AT Grand Jury Vindicates 5 Covid Claims You Weren't Allowed To Say (thefederalist.com)

RIVER JOURNAL---CHRISTOPHER JAMES TALIO, MAN ON A MISSION

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Christopher James Talio is a ‘Man on a Mission’

During his band’s performance at the Bean Runner Café in Peekskill, Christopher James Talio often stared straight ahead at the back wall as if he were searching for something.

Indeed, Talio is the “Man on a Mission,” his latest single and creative video. The goal is to “liberate the human spirit through musical performance and visual creation,” he said.

Like many of his originals, the song’s laid-back, jazz-based, bass-driven groove is overlaid by talk-singing vocals with more than a big toe dipped in rap.

In the lyrics, the main mission is “to be free,” which means “having the freedom to make choices that are the most desirable to you” said Talio, 33. “As a musician, my vision had to do with originality and at the time I wrote it, the quest was to make a fulfilling living through music, but freedom looks different to everyone.”

IN THE NEWS------DARTMOUTH BRINGS BACK SATs

Dartmouth reinstated their standardized testing requirement Monday, announcing that all applicants to the class of 2029 will have to submit ACT or SAT scores.

The school should be applauded for restoring a meritocratic measure to the admissions process.  Across the country, schools are indulging in an experiment in promoting diversity and “equity,” like Columbia which eliminated test requirements to “[respect] varied backgrounds, voices and experiences.”

Ibram X Kendi, author and head of Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, even went as far as to call standardized tests “the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and Brown minds and legally exclude their bodies from prestigious schools.”

But test-optional policies prioritize activism over evidence, and Dartmouth researchers have proven as much.  READ MORE AT Dartmouth is right to bring back SATs — it’s the no-BS test that gives everyone the same chance (msn.com)
