JENNIFER SEY: Generation Sacrifice: How Feds And The Media Buried The Devastating Truth.

I pushed back on school closures and lockdowns from the beginning, in deep-blue San Francisco. For that, I lost a career I had spent 30 years building, including 23 years at Levi Strauss & Co., where I rose to global brand president. I eventually left my city so my children could attend school. I lost friends who treated reasoned dissent as something dangerous.

On the day I resigned in 2022, I opened a production company with one goal: make a documentary about what had been done to children. Even then, two years into the COVID response, children in many cities were spending entire school days masked and undergoing regular testing. Unvaccinated kids were excluded from activities and teams. Students were sent home after outbreaks. In some places, normal schooling was disrupted for years. Private-school students played sports while public-school athletes lost seasons, opportunities and, in some cases, their shot at college.

When we began making the film, families wanted to talk. We met parents who lost a teenage son to suicide, a mom who nearly lost her daughter to drugs, kids who never graduated and athletes whose college opportunities disappeared. We spoke with parents who went to school-board meetings and were vilified or threatened professionally, as well as doctors, teachers, and journalists who said they were punished for questioning prevailing policies. Their stories were heartbreaking, and they wanted to tell them.

What turned out to be much harder than making the film was finding anyone willing to show it.

MORE OF THAT WHITE MAN’S PRIVILEGE I KEEP READING ABOUT:

“Make no mistake that the only reason Russel Brand got a rightfully deserved punishment, is because he’s white and the government doesn’t fear “community tensions” for jailing him.”

THEY’LL CERTAINLY TRY: Will Democrats Bring Down Trump as They Did Nixon? “Twice before at critical moments in U.S. foreign relations, an opposition-controlled Congress has sought to politically destroy a president. They succeeded in 1973-74 chasing President Richard Nixon from office and thereby doomed South Vietnam to communist rule and invited a Soviet geopolitical offensive throughout the world. In 1986-87, they tried but failed to unseat President Ronald Reagan during a time when he was ending the Cold War. Very soon, they will likely try to unseat President Donald Trump who is trying very hard to prevent regional wars and tensions from converging and escalating into a global war.”

National security is at best a tertiary concern to Democrats — just whatever it takes to stick it to the Republicans.

RUSSELL BRAND SENTENCED TO OVER 10 YEARS IN PRISON FOR RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT OF FOUR WOMEN:

British actor Russell Brand was emotionless as he was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison Monday, after a jury last week convicted him of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three more.

Judge Joel Bennathan handed down the sentence in Southwark Crown Court after the 51-year-old “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” actor was convicted Thursday on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He had faced a maximum of up to life in prison.

Brand was cleared on two other rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault tied to the claims of three other women.

In his sentencing remarks, the judge blasted the disgraced comedian’s “casual, arrogant disregard of any woman’s right to say no to you.”

He was slapped with nine years for the count of rape plus 18 months for the three sexual assault charges, which will run consecutively.

What happens next for Brand will be very different to his time in Hollywood: Inside Russell Brand’s Hollywood bubble, where nobody could say no.

When Jimmy Zona started working as Russell Brand’s assistant in about 2011, his first task was to wake his boss up.

Zona recalled walking uncertainly up to the front door of the house in Hollywood that Brand shared with the chart-topping singer Katy Perry, then his wife, before knocking on the door.

“He gets out of bed in his underwear, was like, who the f*** are you?” Zona said. Brand then told him: “From now on, you’re going to come over to my bedside and you’re going to whisper in my ear, ‘Russell, it’s time to start your day’.”

“And I did that until I quit,” Zona said.

He gently broached the possibility of Brand using an alarm on an iPad to wake him up instead. “He was like, ‘No. I need you to do this’.”

This was Brand in Hollywood, where his marriage to Perry had catapulted his fame to dizzying heights.

Brand’s next few years, possibly his next decade, will not be as cosseted: What prison life will be like for Russell Brand.

JOB OPENINGS: NASA Is Looking for Astronauts to Live and Work on the Moon.

If you feel you’re up for it, you can apply on NASA’s website. The agency said in an announcement that those who are accepted “will join NASA as America returns to the Moon, builds the Moon Base, and lays the groundwork for the first crewed missions to Mars.” They will “train to operate on the lunar surface, live and work beyond Earth, and take on missions that will push the boundaries of human exploration farther than ever before.”

Not just anyone can join. Among NASA’s many requirements are that applicants be U.S. citizens with a STEM field master’s degree, including in “engineering, biological science, physical science, or computer science from an accredited institution.” The window to join isn’t a big one; those interested have until 11:59 PM EST on December 3, 2026, to submit an application. NASA will select its new crop of space-farers in “late 2027.”

Freshen up those resumés.
