The Orange County Board of Education (OCBE) voted during an Aug. 3 special session to sue Gov. Gavin Newsom for extending the state of emergency and mandating masks for students during the next curricular year. The board’s decision came after Newsom announced an extension to the state of emergency, requiring a mask mandate for students in grades K–12. Trustee Rebecca Gomez was absent during the vote. “I want to do what’s in the best interest of the kids in our community,” OCBE President Mari Barke told The Epoch Times. OCBE Vice President Ken Williams told The Epoch Times that the board fears “this could be a repeat of last year, and the attempt is to remove—by…

A Government minister today refused to be drawn on whether parental consent will be required for the No10’s impending plan to vaccinate 1.5million teenagers against Covid. Health chiefs are now set to recommend all 16 and 17 year olds get jabs, marking a dramatic U-turn — given just two weeks ago the same expert panel advised against doing so. Boris Johnson is expected to accept the guidance immediately, paving the way for the roll-out to begin later this month. Jabs could be administered in schools. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises No10, last month ruled only over-12s with…

The Australian military began patrolling the streets of Sydney on Aug. 2 to monitor a COVID-19 lockdown, with some even tasked with going door to door. About 300 unarmed military personnel were going to people’s houses to check whether individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 were isolating at home, Sydney police commissioner Mick Fuller told reporters at a press conference. Fuller said the military operation would be “centered around the welfare of the community and ensuring that stay-at-home orders … are observed,” according to SBS. “Police officers will be assisted by ADF personnel as they deliver food parcels, conduct welfare door-knocks, and go through compliance checks of…

A top Republican senator in Arizona is asking the state’s attorney general to probe Maricopa County officials over their refusal to fully comply with subpoenas deemed lawful by a judge. Arizona Senate Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli submitted a formal request on Tuesday to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a fellow Republican, to probe the county’s Board of Supervisors for the failure to comply. “The supervisors are acting as if they are above the law, and it is an insult to the citizens of our state,” Borrelli said in a statement. The documents making the request, made public by Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers,…

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Leon Bailey from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported £30m. The forward, who will be 24 next week, has a contract to 2025. “Leon is a hugely exciting young striker with great pace and creativity,” Villa’s manager, Dean Smith, told the club’s website. The Jamaica international’s arrival comes as Manchester City try to sign Jack Grealish. Bailey scored 39 goals in three and a half Bundesliga campaigns for Leverkusen and played in the Champions League and Europa League. He is relishing the challenge of showing what he can do in the Premier League. “It’s always been somewhere…

No 10 is facing claims that its international travel policy is in chaos after Boris Johnson ditched a plan for an “amber watchlist” that would have created a five-tier warning system for England. After a revolt in the cabinet and a backlash from the travel industry, government sources said on Monday night that Boris Johnson would not be going ahead with proposals for an amber watchlist tier to warn travellers which countries were at risk of turning red. Johnson had been due to take a decision this week on whether to create the new warning category based on advice from the Joint Biosecurity Centre.…

Rapturous shouts of rejoicing reverberated across the globe as the man of God, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome, declared August to be ‘the month of Praise’ at the just concluded Global Communion Service. “The Lord wants us to offer spiritual sacrifices; sacrifices of praise unto Him,” Pastor Chris remarked as he explained what God’s people are expected to do this month. https://vimeo.com/582468584 In his exhortation, Pastor Chris took time to reveal a compelling truth that the primary purpose of God’s tabernacle was not preaching…

Thousands of people in France demonstrated against a special “health pass” and marched through Paris and other French cities on Saturday, with most protests being peaceful with a few sporadic clashes. Some 3,000 security forces deployed around Paris for the third weekend of protests against the pass that will be required soon to enter restaurants and other places. The so-called “health pass” system—likened to vaccine passports—was passed in the French Parliament last week, with the law going into effect later this month on Aug. 9. Meanwhile, a court in Berlin over the weekend declared that anti-lockdown protests were illegal, leading to arrests…

The Australian military began helping to enforce Australia’s strictest COVID-19 lockdown Monday, as a surge in delta variant cases in Sydney continued to cause problems. About 300 troops have been sent to Australia’s largest city to help overstretched police monitor home quarantine for coronavirus patients, and potentially set up roadblocks. The troops will help the police on a door-to-door search to check if people who have contracted COVID are isolating, police commissioner Mick Fuller told reporters during a press conference. Senior officials have said the soldiers will not be armed, and do not have special enforcement authority, but will be assisting the police. However, counsellors have said that the sight of the military in multicultural areas of Sydney could be…

Harry Kane has chosen not to report to Tottenham’s training ground for a second day as he tries to force a transfer to Manchester City. Spurs decided to fine the striker for not returning from a post-Euro 2020 break on Monday but that has not changed his strategy. Kane informed the club before the end of last season that he wanted a move and he believes he has a gentleman’s agreement that allows him to go this summer. The Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, sees things differently and does not want to sell. The development came as Spurs closed on the signing of…
