This is Toby Sumpter with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, September 1, 2020. Only 62 days until the pandemic is over. Today you will hear how new White House health advisors are recommending the herd immunity route, Pastor John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church is being evicted from a long-time leased parking lot, Kenosha Police Union release a statement, and people are partying in Pullman, Washington. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-coronavirus-scott-atlas-herd-immunity/2020/08/30/925e68fe-e93b-11ea-970a-64c73a1c2392_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most One of President Trump’s top medical advisers is urging the White House to embrace a “herd immunity” strategy to combat the pandemic, which essentially allows the coronavirus to spread through most of the healthy population to quickly build resistance to the virus, while taking steps to protect those in nursing homes and other vulnerable populations, according to five people familiar with the discussions. The approach’s chief proponent is Scott Atlas, a neuroradiologist from Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution, who joined the White House earlier this month as a pandemic adviser. He has advocated that the United States adopt the model Sweden has used to respond to the virus outbreak, according to these officials, which relies on lifting restrictions so the healthy can build up immunity to the disease rather than limiting social and business interactions to prevent the virus from spreading. https://disrn.com/news/la-county-retaliates-against-john-macarthurs-grace-community-church-evicting-them-from-their-parking-lot-lease/ LA County has issued a 30-day eviction notice for Grace Community Church’s lease of a county owned parking lot. Since 1975, Grace Community has leased a large portion of the parking lot from the county. Jenna Ellis, one of the attorneys from the Thomas More Society, representing Grace Community Church came out swinging: “Los Angeles County is retaliating against Grace Community Church for simply exercising their constitutionally protected right to hold church and challenging an unreasonable, unlawful health order. In America, we have a judicial system to ensure that the executive branch does not abuse its power, and Grace Community Church has every right to be heard without fear of reprisal,” she said in a statement. “The Democrats’ message to Americans is clear–if you don’t bow to every whim of tyranny, the government will come after you. The Church has peacefully held this lease for 45 years and the only reason the County is attempting eviction is because John MacArthur stood up to their unconstitutional power grab. This is harassment, abusive, and unconscionable.” This is why we need Weapons for this War.
