24 GOP governors wrote a letter to Joe Biden standing in opposition to “two proposed instruments currently under negotiation that would purport to grant the World Health Organization (WHO) unprecedented and unconstitutional powers over the United States and its people.” “These proposed changes could drastically change the role of governors in response to their charge as the state health officials,” it read. “These proposed accords aim to significantly alter the amendments to the WHO’s existing International Health Regulations (IHRs) and introduce a new ‘Pandemic Agreement’ (Treaty) that would undermine national sovereignty, infringe upon states’ rights, and jeopardize constitutionally guaranteed freedoms,” it read. The governors from the following states signed the letter: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. .@GovRonDeSantis is among 24 Republican Governors to ‘resist’ delegating health authority to WHO amid Geneva meeting.#MandateFreedom https://t.co/QX7WqGmfkm — Cyberspace Commander Krystal (@MsBradsher) May 22, 2024 “I’ve joined other Republican governors in writing a letter to President Biden opposing proposals that would grant the World Health Organization unprecedented and unconstitutional powers over the United States and its people,” South Carolina Gov.

Henry McMaster (@henrymcmaster) May 22, 2024 “The objective of these instruments is to empower the WHO, particularly its uncontrollable Director-General, with the authority to restrict the rights of U.S. citizens, including freedoms such as speech, privacy, travel, choice of medical care, and informed consent, thus violating our Constitution’s core principles,” the letter read. “Under the proposed amendments and treaty, the WHO’s Director-General would supposedly gain unilateral power to declare a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ (PHEIC) in member nations, extending beyond pandemics to include a range of perceived emergencies,” it continued. “Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Greg Abbott (TX), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY),” Dr. Kat Lindley noted. 24 Republican governors joined together, writing a letter to President Biden to state their united opposition to two proposals currently under negotiation that would grant the World Health Organization (WHO) unprecedented and unconstitutional powers over the United States and its… pic.twitter.com/aZx2WzlMap — Dr. Kat Lindley (@KLVeritas) May 22, 2024 “Additional concerns arise regarding the establishment of a global surveillance infrastructure and requirements for member states to censor speech related to public health, potentially facilitating the proliferation of biological weapons,” the letter said. “We affirm that public health policy is a matter reserved for the states, not the federal government, and certainly not international bodies like the WHO. We are committed to resisting any attempts to transfer authority to the WHO over public policy affecting our citizens or any efforts by the WHO to assert such authority over them,” it concluded. Read the full letter: Florida’s Voice reports: Attorneys general also sent a letter to Biden earlier in May opposing giving the WHO such authority, including Florida’s Ashley Moody. Both of Florida’s GOP senators, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, similarly called on the Biden administration to not cede sovereign power to the WHO at the beginning of May, with 47 other senators. DeSantis gained national prominence out of the coronavirus pandemic with his opposition to health mandates, such as prolonged business lockdowns and vaccine or mask mandates.

A notorious serial killer who lured dozens of women to his pig farm before killing them has been attacked in prison and is currently on life support. Robert Pickton, 74, was being held in a segregated unit in a British Columbia, Canada, maximum security prison when he was attacked by another inmate on May 19 with a broken broom handle, the Vancouver Sun reported. As of Tuesday, he remains in a Quebec City hospital in critical condition and is not expected to recover. Pickton and his brother grew up working on their parents’ pig farm in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, about 17 miles east of Vancouver. When their parents died, the brothers inherited the farm and sold off parts of it to build a facility to hold dance parties, which often included local sex workers and members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang. In 1997, Pickton was charged with the attempted murder of Wendy Lynn Eistetter, a sex worker who was stabbed several times. The charge was stayed because Eistetter was a drug user and couldn’t be counted on for her testimony. In 2002, the brothers were arrested after police searched the farm for illegal firearms. Authorities returned with another search warrant based on things they had seen at the farm that pertained to an investigation into missing women, including personal items belonging to the women. On February 22, 2002, Pickton was charged with first-degree murder for the deaths of Sereena Abotsway and Mona Wilson. Less than two months later, he was charged with the murders of Jacqueline McDonell, Dianne Rock, and Heather Bottomley. Shortly after that, he was charged for the murders of Andrea Joesbury and Brenda Wolfe. In September of that year, he was charged with four more murders. In October, he received another four murder charges. Years later, in May 2005, Pickton was charged with 12 more murders, bringing the total up to 27. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP During one of the excavations of Pickton’s property, government officials discovered evidence that suggested Pickton may have ground up some of his victims and mixed them with the pork he sold to customers. A consumer health warning was issued, according to the Globe and Mail. On December 9, 2007, Pickton was found not guilty on six counts of first-degree murder. The jury instead found him guilty on six counts of second-degree murder. The charges against him for the other women were eventually stayed, since he would not be able to receive additional punishment under Canadian law. He was sentenced to the maximum allowable punishment – life in prison with no eligibility for parole until after 25 years. Cynthia Cardinal, whose sister was one of Pickton’s victims, told the Sun that the news of Pickton’s impending death gives her “a little bit of closure,” adding that she could feel her sister’s spirit and that “the devil is gone.”

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki could face a subpoena if she does not stop dodging an interview for a congressional investigation into the Biden administration’s chaotic 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, a top House Republican suggested this week. House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) indicated an escalation was possible while citing Psaki’s new book, “Say More,” which drew controversy for falsely claiming President Joe Biden never checked his watch during a ceremony for U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing attack on the airport in Kabul. “It is troubling that Ms. Psaki seeks to profit off the Afghanistan tragedy, and has felt comfortable writing accounts and making them available to the general public, but refuses to make herself available to Congress, the branch dedicated to representing the interest and will of the American people,” McCaul wrote to Psaki’s lawyer on Tuesday. The chairman, who has been trying to secure an interview since September 2023, provided three dates in June and July on which Psaki could discuss her messaging and “insights” related to the Afghanistan withdrawal. McCaul said his committee “requests” Psaki make arrangements to schedule an interview no later than May 28. “As a private citizen, willing and able to publish a memoir on her tenure as White House Press Secretary, I encourage Ms. Psaki to refrain from relying on thin legal arguments to dodge her responsibility to appear before Congress. The Committee will not tolerate Ms. Psaki’s continued obstruction of its critical investigation and is prepared to use all the tools at its disposal to ensure America’s representatives speak with her,” McCaul wrote. Psaki served as Biden’s White House press secretary from the beginning of his administration on January 20, 2021, to May 13, 2022. She then got hired by MSNBC. During her time as a cable TV host, Psaki has continued to defend Biden while disparaging former President Donald Trump and the Republican lawmakers who back him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP When Axios reported earlier this month that Psaki falsely claimed that Biden did not check his watch during the ceremony for slain U.S. service members, she circled back and said the “detail in a few lines of the book about the exact number of times he looked at his watch will be removed in future reprints and the ebook.”
