I first became a big-time Sammy Hagar fan after I saw him open up for Boston in 1977. It was a concert I will never forget. Boston was good‚ but Sammy Hagar just completely blew me away because I basically had never heard of him before. I wonder how many people first discovered Sammy Hagar from that tour. When you think about it‚ that’s one of the reasons why record companies put up-and-coming artists as opening acts on tours for major bands. Now‚ of course‚ Sammy Hagar had already made a name for himself in the music business as the The post Why Sammy Hagar’s 1977 ‘Sammy Hagar’ LP Was One Of His Best appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

This is the first in a three-part series on the movement for religious freedom in the U.S. legal system today. Stay tuned for the next two installments. NASHVILLE‚ Tenn.—Brad Dacus‚ president of the Pacific Justice Institute‚ represents Americans in religious freedom cases who have been turned away from hospitals because they refuse to take a vaccine for COVID-19. “It’s disgraceful to put anyone on medical death row simply because they’re not willing to take a very controversial experimental vaccine‚ which is now proven to be very counterproductive‚” Dacus tells “The Daily Signal” podcast in an interview conducted in February at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention here. Some of the Pacific Justice Institute’s clients need organ transplants‚ he says‚ but “a minority of hospitals” are denying them. “Most say no problem‚ you don’t have to be vaxxed‚ but these few out there are saying yes‚ you have to‚ and it just so happens we discovered they have contracts with Big Pharma‚” Dacus says. The lawyer argues that “more than 99% of those in the hospital with COVID-19‚ with serious conditions‚ are people who were vaxxed. The non-vaxxed are not in the hospitals‚ and yet [a minority of hospitals] continue to push it.” “We’re defending people based on their sincerely held religious beliefs and convictions‚ and—needless to say—we’re making great progress and saving thousands‚ if not hundreds of thousands‚ of jobs for brothers and sisters in Christ across the nation‚” Dacus says. “There has been a more than a 13‚000% increase in the number of 12- to 19-year-olds who have myocarditis‚ a very serious heart inflammation disease.” Dacus cites a 2022 study from the British Medical Journal finding “net harm” caused by booster shots for young adults. “Booster mandates in young adults are expected to cause a net harm: per COVID-19 hospitalization prevented‚ we anticipate at least 18.5 serious adverse events from mRNA vaccines‚ including 1.5-4.6 booster-associated myopericarditis cases in males (typically requiring hospitalization)‚” the study’s authors wrote. Dacus explains on the podcast that Christians‚ among others‚ “don’t have to have doctrine” or “be a part of a certain denomination” to decline to take a COVID-19 vaccine‚ they only “have to have a sincerely held religious belief or conviction” against it to apply for an exemption to vaccine mandates. Some Christians note that aborted embryos were used in developing the vaccines‚ and that is a valid conviction‚ he says. Dacus also speaks about protecting the religious freedom of Christians who refuse to support gender ideology. One of his Christian clients in Washington state owns a Korean women’s spa‚ the lawyer says‚ and traditionally women in Korean spas don’t wear clothes. One day‚ he recounts‚ “a man comes in and he says‚ ‘Hey‚ I want to go to the women’s spa.’ They say‚ ‘No‚ this is for mothers and there are mothers and their teenage daughters in there. Absolutely not.'” “These women will be visually violated‚ to say the least‚ and he would be lewdly exposing himself to all these women and these little young teenage girls‚” Dacus explains. This would be “criminal in any other context‚” he says‚ but the man “leaves and he reports it to the Washington State Human Rights Commission.” The state commission sued the Korean spa to try to force it to allow naked men who claim to identify as women. Lower courts ruled against the spa‚ but the Pacific Justice Institute has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Dacus also pushes back against the Southern Poverty Law Center‚ a far-left smear factory that has branded his law firm an “anti-LGBTQ hate group” and put it on a map alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. “Southern Poverty Law Center is like a snake‚” the religious freedom lawyer says. “They’re the most hate-filled‚ hate-indoctrinating organization in the country. They breed division‚ they breed hate‚ they breed misunderstanding. Their goal is to silence; to vilify‚ silence‚ and destroy.” Listen to the full interview below. Have an opinion about this article?

A 60-year-old Australian man who was looking forward to a comfortable retirement is now struggling to make ends meet after he fell victim to a cruel scam‚ according to the New York Post. Renato Calalang had worked hard his entire career‚ working in different types of jobs and saving all he could to make for a relaxing retirement. He reportedly had about $150‚000 sitting in the bank that would secure his family until he reached pension age. However‚ that all went away after he opened an email from a scammer who claimed to be from a bank in his native Philippines. The email suggested that one of Calalang's relatives had passed away and he was entitled to their inheritance. All Calalang would have to do is provide his personal information and he would be all set. Though he was unaware of an inheritance‚ he did not believe it was out of the realm of possibility‚ per the report.“I got an email from someone called Steve Golds who said they were the owner of a bank in Manila‚” he said.“He said I was entitled to an inheritance of 3.8 million euro and I just needed to provide my details‚ which I did in my reply."The email was sent by someone posing as a credit manager named Steven Golds. Calalang said the whole situation seemed plausible‚ as it even included a death certificate of a person with the same name as his cousin.The scammer said Calalang would not be able to transfer directly to the bank in Manila‚ but would instead have to transfer funds to the scammer's agent in Australia‚ according to the Daily Mail."So I deposited some funds into a Commonwealth Bank account‚ which is the same bank that I am with‚" Calalang said."This made me feel like nothing bad could happen‚ and if something were to go wrong‚ I thought I would be able to chase up Commonwealth Bank for help."Calalang even spoke to one of the scammers on the phone‚ who sounded legitimate. They were in contact over the next three months‚ and Calalang believed it was only a matter of time before he received his inheritance.The man soon realized that the whole thing was a scam and contacted the police in September 2023. He also got in touch with Scamwatch and Commonwealth Bank‚ which was the bank used by the scammers.After two months of investigating the situation‚ the bank said it could not recover Calalang's funds because the bank in the Philippines would not cooperate‚ per the report. "I wish they had alerted me that this was a scam. If they see someone's account diminishing‚ something is obviously wrong‚" Calalang said."But instead they just said it was my fault. Yet the scammers have bank accounts with Commonwealth."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
