\nQuote – \u201cWhat HIPAA actually does is protect against impermissible disclosures of your protected health information. HIPAA has 115 pages of information and contains hundreds of ways its rules can be violated. But a private business asking you whether you\u2019ve been vaccinated isn\u2019t one of them.\u201d

\nQuote – Donald Smith, a New Jersey UPS employee, was arrested in connection with Capitol attack. A coworker told the FBI that Smith showed up to work showing off pictures and claimed he was in Nancy Pelosi\u2019s office and \u201cthat it was the best day of his life.\u201d
\nClick through for not much more<\/a>, but a couple of pictures and a link to the Newsweek story they got it from. I love these “bragging backfire” stories.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – He didn\u2019t identify any of the \u201cCabinet members.\u201d It was unclear if he was referring to Trump\u2019s former Cabinet members or if some new group has been formed and is being referred to as a Cabinet. As for the plans under discussion, Meadows told Newsmax: \u201cI\u2019m not authorized to speak on behalf of the president, but I can tell you this: We wouldn\u2019t be meeting tonight if we weren\u2019t making plans to move forward in a real way, with President Trump at the head of that ticket.\u201d
