ZURICH, Austria (PNN) - March 7, 2021 - Austrian authorities have suspended inoculations with a batch of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 “vaccine” as a precaution while investigating the death of one person and the illness of another after the shots, a health agency said on March 7.

“The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care (BASG) has received two reports in a temporal connection with a vaccination from the same batch of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the district clinic of Zwettl” in Lower Austria province, it said.

One 49-year-old woman died as a result of severe coagulation disorders, while a 35-year-old woman developed a pulmonary embolism and is recovering, it said. A pulmonary embolism is an acute lung disease caused by a dislodged blood clot.

LANSING, Michigan (PNN) - March 5, 2021 - The Michigan Republican Party is calling on the state’s attorney general to launch an investigation into Governor Gretchen Whitmer over a secret deal she made with Robert Gordon, her former state health department director.

The Michigan GOP issued a statement this week calling on Whitmer “to release all information” about the deal, in which Whitmer agreed to a $155,506 payout after Gordon’s abrupt resignation back in January.

ABERDEEN, Mississippi (PNN) - March 4, 2021 - A Mississippi judge ordered a new runoff election for a local election in Aberdeen after more than three-quarters of absentee ballots cast in the June Democrat runoff election were found to be invalid, while a notary involved in the election was arrested.

Judge Jeff Weill, in a 64-page order, said that there is evidence of fraud and criminal activity in how absentee ballots were handled, how they were counted, and actions from individuals at polling places during the runoff election held in Aberdeen, Mississippi. As a result, a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat is necessary.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming (PNN) - March 4, 2021 - A Wyoming state lawmaker announced he will challenge Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the No. 3 Republican in the House, during the 2022 GOP primary.

Wyoming State Rep. Chuck Gray, a Republican, made the announcement on social media.

“It’s time for a leader who actually listens to the hard-working people of Wyoming, and not to the D.C elitists,” he wrote in a tweet. “Join me on my journey as I seek the Republican nomination for the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) Congress.”

WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 4, 2021 - Joe Biden was set to take questions from Democrat members of the House on Wednesday, when the White House inexplicably cut the feed of the live event.

Biden, 78, is yet to hold a formal press conference since supposedly taking office six weeks ago, on January 20.

Biden’s lack of press conferences is an obvious juxtaposition to Donald Trump - who basked in his time in front of the cameras and press. When he wasn’t holding formal press conferences, the President Trump would spend a lengthy amount of time speaking to reporters before departing for trips on the South Lawn.

MEDINA, Texas (PNN) - March 1, 2021 - A South Texas county justice of the peace was among four people arrested last month on 150 counts of voter fraud related to the 2018 primary election in Medina County.

The Texas attorney general’s Election Fraud Unit on February 11 arrested Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez, after earlier detaining Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez, and Mary Balderrama on allegations of election fraud.

The case involves claims of vote harvesting at assisted living centers in Medina County in the 2018 election, according to a statement from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office.

DRESDEN, Germany (PNN) - February 19, 2021 - Saxony, a region in eastern Germany, has become the first region in the country to ban drivers from wearing hats and sunglasses while also being masked.

Anybody driving in a car must be identifiable by traffic cameras, the State is demanding. Wearing all three at the same time can greatly obscure an individual's appearance, to the point of being unidentifiable.

All of this is important since, starting Monday, people will be required to wear masks in vehicles in Saxony if members of more than two households are traveling together.
