DOJ REPORT--FBI'S CATHOLIC MEMO WAS "GRAVE FAILURE", THREATENED FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS
A Justice Department investigation has concluded the FBI committed a "grave failure" when its Richmond, Virginia, field office produced an intelligence memo linking some traditionalist Catholics with domestic violent extremism.
The report found agents relied on sweeping generalizations despite uncovering little evidence supporting a broader connection.
Late last week the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group released the report after it probed the 2023 "Richmond Memo," which triggered outrage among Catholics, religious-liberty advocates, and members of Congress after it was leaked publicly.

1962 WALK ON THE WILD SIDE AT THE STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN
Back in 1962, the Starlight Drive-In featured WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, A SOMEWHAT SCANDALOUS FILM NOIR FOR ITS TIME.
Directed by Edward Dmytryk, and starring Laurence Harvey, Capucine, Jane Fonda, Anne Baxter and Barbara Stanwyck, it was adapted from the 1956 novel A Walk on the Wild Side by American author Nelson Algren.
While it passed its censors, it was an adult film noir with explicit overtones and subject matter. It walks its audience through the lives and relationships between adults (mostly women) engaged in commercial prostitution at a stylish New Orleans brothel. There are lesbian themes too....YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE
One of our readers remembered with some amusement how he and his friends---"young adolescent boys"---watched this movie "from the reeds and the rushes" to the left of the screen---not being allowed to see the "for adults only" film---but the marauding flocks of mosquitos soon made even Jane Fonda's charms disappear......
These days you can catch the film on cable---sans mosquitos--or on Youtube.

ABOUT THOSE "TWO PENNSYLVANIA MEASLES DEATHS...."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday said it would not include two measles-associated deaths in Pennsylvania in the federal agency’s weekly outbreak update, explaining it is still investigating the cause of the deaths.
State officials have said there were two measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County last week. The county coroner confirmed one of those deaths was not due directly to measles, saying a newborn infant died from a ruptured spleen shortly after birth. The Pennsylvania Department of Health said there was a second reported measles-associated death, but has offered almost no detail on it so far, making it unclear whether the death was caused by measles or not.
....."Today, we see the consequences of a lack of immunizations in the first measles-associated deaths that our commonwealth has seen in 35 years," Shapiro said Tuesday alongside Dr. Debra Bogen at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Hospital........
.....Kennedy suggested Shapiro was weaponizing the fatalities to pressure residents into getting vaccinated without evidence that the two individuals died directly because of measles. The HHS secretary accused Shapiro’s office of shattering tradition and violating “standard public health policy by refusing to share information with the County Health Department or CDC.”
.....Kennedy wrote in a post to X. “The performance was a replay of the Democrats' COVID playbook: fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.” MORE AT CDC omits Pennsylvania measles deaths from weekly update pending review
