Email confirms Loudoun County school board knew about alleged sexual assault on day it happened

The Loudoun County Public Schools board was informed of an alleged sexual assault that took place in a high school bathroom on May 28, 2021, an email from Superintendent Scott Ziegler shows. 

The email, which was reported by WTOP-TV, alerted the school board that an incident took place at Stone Bridge High School in which a female student alleged she was sexually assaulted by a male student in the restroom. 

The May 28 email reads:

Good Afternoon, Board Members, The purpose of this email is to provide you with information regarding an incident that occurred at Stone Bridge HS. This afternoon a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom. The LCSO [Sheriff’s Office] is investigating the matter. Secondary to the assault investigation, the female student’s parent responded to the school and caused a disruption by using threatening and profane language that was overheard by staff and students. Additional law enforcement units responded to the school to assist with the parent. The school’s counseling team is providing services for students who witnessed the parent’s behavior. The alleged victim is being tended to by LCSO.

According to WTOP-TV, the details of the incident were not disclosed to the school board because the board may be involved in student disciplinary actions, and they are rarely told the specifics of major incidents at schools.

The email demonstrates, however, that the board would have known about the alleged bathroom assault at a June 22 school board meeting, where Ziegler told the public there was no record of any sexual assaults in a bathroom. A proposed policy to accommodate transgender students by letting them use whichever bathroom they wish was the topic of heated debate at the meeting. Parents had raised concerns that letting boys who identify as girls use the girls’ restrooms would endanger the safety of their children.

School board member Beth Barts asked the superintendent if there were sexual assaults in restrooms occurring regularly.

“The predator transgender student or person simply does not exist,” Ziegler answered at that meeting. “We don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.”

But as the Daily Wire first reported, just three weeks prior a freshman girl said she was sexually assaulted by a boy wearing a skirt in the bathroom. According to an attorney for the girl’s father, the suspect has been charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio related to the incident. The same suspect is alleged to have assaulted another girl in a classroom at a different high school earlier this month.

The May 28 victim’s father, who was in attendance at the school board meeting, grew visibly angry after the school board would not acknowledge his daughter’s alleged assault and was arrested for disorderly conduct

Last week, Ziegler apologized for making a “misleading” remark, claiming that he thought the question was specifically referring to assaults involving transgender students. 

“First, let me say to the families and students involved, my heart aches for you,” Ziegler said in an Oct. 15 statement. “And I am sorry that we failed to provide the safe, welcoming and affirming environment that we aspire to provide. We acknowledge and share your pain and we will continue to offer you support to help your families through this trauma.”

The victim’s family now intends to file a civil lawsuit against the school. Bill Stanley, an attorney representing the family, said in a statement that Ziegler’s apology confirmed that the school administration “failed to provide the safe environment” for the victim. 

“As evidenced by subsequent events and revelations, Loudoun Public Schools have been failing the parents who entrusted them to provide a safe environment for their children every day,” Stanley said. “That trust has (been) irrevocably broken by Loudoun County Public Schools’ actions and inactions.”

Don’t mess with Marines: US veteran single-handedly halts attempted ARMED robbery in the blink of an eye (VIDEO)

A sheriff’s office in Arizona has released a video of an impressive incident at a convenience store, in which a Marine veteran appeared in the right place at the right time, coolly taking down suspected gun-wielding criminals.

The short but dramatic, movie-like footage from surveillance cameras at a gas station in Yuma County captured a lone customer taking matters into his own hands when masked men with a handgun entered the store at around 4am. 

In the clip, posted on Facebook by the local sheriff’s office on Wednesday, a bearded man in a basketball cap, plastic bag in hand, is seen standing with his back to the front door. Then, suspected robbers with their faces covered enter the scene, one of them pointing a handgun towards the checkout counter, with the muzzle just inches from the customer.

The man reacts instantly, disarming the suspect with his free hand in a matter of seconds, before knocking him to the ground. The other suspected criminals, some of whom didn’t even have time to enter through the door, flee. The disarmed man was detained by the customer until law enforcement arrived. He was then booked into a justice center for a count of armed robbery and aggravated assault.

Deputies identified the rescuer as a US Marine Corps veteran. When “asked how he was able to take control of the situation, he stated, ’The Marine Corps taught me not to [mess] around,’” the sheriff’s office shared.

Impressed people online praised the man for his “never ending service,” with many calling him a “true hero.” Commenters said he deserved an award, or unlimited free gas at the least.

‘Let’s Go Brandon! We’ll See You In Court’: Texas AG Paxton Slams Biden, Files Suit Against Biden Administration Over Border Wall

On Thursday, Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his state will join Missouri to file suit against the Biden administration, telling the cheering crowd that he wanted to say to President Joe Biden, “Let’s go, Brandon! We’ll see you in court.”

Paxton started, “Well, thank you all for coming. As you can see we’re in El Paso, a great city in Texas with the border wall behind us and the attorney general of Missouri, Eric Schmidt, he’s a good friend of mine, he’s come down to announce with us — and I’m going to let him say his own words — that we will be filing a lawsuit against the Biden administration as it relates to building this wall.”

“The fact that Congress appropriated large sums of money and directed that that money be spent on the wall, our lawsuit is about forcing that expenditure to be spent the way Congress intended,” he warned. “And the reason we care so much about this is [that] it is having tremendously negative effects on our states, I’ll let Eric tell you what he’s doing in Missouri, but obviously tremendous social costs, much higher crime, we’ve got the cartels on our border who are human trafficking and [filing] people through here. As you know, these people don’t get here for free.”

“They have to pay the cartels and as a result, Border Patrol and many of our law enforcement are busy dealing with a lot of people, record numbers of people,” he added. “I think the numbers are up over 300% from just a year ago under the Trump administration and that is forcing Border Patrol to spend a lot more time on more logistics as opposed to stopping the importation of drugs like Fentanyl, which is killing people and will kill people all over the country and so it’s having tremendous social cost, but it also has tremendous economic costs for my state and for Missouri.”

“And so, we’re having to spend a lot of money on health care, on law enforcement, on other types of programs for people that coming to our state that we were not anticipating, and obviously we’re not getting help from the federal government and we’re also having to spend a lot of money on border security,” Paxton continued. “You should know the legislature appropriated, I think it was $1.8 billion, much of if for building a wall, and so we’re just here to say that we are very discouraged by the lack of care by the president, the fact that he has done almost everything he can do to make it more difficult for our border towns and for our border states and even for the entire United States as we’ve watched our immigration problem become a massive problem.”

“And I would say it’s the direct results of policies that they knew would do exactly what they’re doing,” he said, winding up. “And so, I just want to finish my comments —and then I’ll let Eric say what he’s going to say — and just say to the President of the United States, ‘Let’s go, Brandon, we’ll see you in court.’”

“On Inauguration Day, Biden ordered a pause on all border wall construction and an assessment of federal government contracts already awarded for the project, calling former President Donald Trump’s signature promise a ‘waste of money’ and saying that it was ‘not a serious policy solution,’” The Texas Tribune reported, adding, “The lawsuit, filed against Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in the U.S. district court in Victoria, argues that Congress had set aside $1.375 billion to construct barriers along the southwest border and that the Biden administration doesn’t have the constitutional authority to refuse to spend money that Congress authorized for border wall construction.”

Here Is Biden’s Schedule for the Weekend

Inflation is raging, the supply chain is backed up, illegal immigration at the southern border just hit a new high, American ports are overwhelmed with stagnant cargo, China just launched a hypersonic missile and Build Back Better is stalled on Capitol Hill. But none of these pressing issues are stopping President Joe Biden from leaving the White House Friday for another weekend away in Delaware. 

“In the evening, the President and the First Lady will travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where they will remain over the weekend,” White House daily guidance states. 

Biden has been to Delaware nearly every weekend this year, adding up to dozens of trips. The White House justifies the visits because he “likes his home.” 

During a CNN town hall Thursday night, Biden stumbled through questions about why he hasn’t visited the border. 

For the record, throughout his 40 years in public office, Biden has never made the trip. So, while he apparently has plenty of time for regular trips home for the weekend, the border will have to wait. 

Conveniently, visitors in Delaware are not officially logged like they are at the White House. 

Steele’s Interview is Bait to Divert Public From Trump’s Rising Polls & Durham’s Probe, Analyst Says

While the US media remain uninterested in Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” apparently considering it irrelevant, they have suddenly turned the spotlight on a debunked “dirty dossier” compiled by ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele at the request of Trump’s political opponents. What’s behind the move?

Earlier this week, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos released a documentary about ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous dirty dossier later debunked in the FBI spreadsheet and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. However, Steele asserted to Stephanopoulos: “I stand by the work we did, the sources that we had, and the professionalism which we applied to it.”

Trump Quickly Gaining Ground

The release of a “patently absurd regurgitation of debunked conspiracy theories” promoted by Steele and other intelligence operatives, while the US is facing serious challenges emanating from Joe Biden’s “incompetence,” is nothing but “shameful,” according to Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist Charles Ortel.

He wonders as to why Stephanopoulos has turned a blind eye to questionable financial operations by Hunter and Joe Biden as potential “pay-to-play” involving foreign individuals, and is focusing on the dirty dossier instead.

It appears especially confusing given that Special Counsel Mueller’s probe, which cost US taxpayers almost $32 million, failed to find any evidence backing Steele’s claims.

“Not satisfied with wasting precious years defaming Trump and his aspirations to concentrate upon making America great again within our borders, dupes [from both parties] are doing best to dirty up the Trump brand, perhaps hoping to destroy his interest in running again in 2024,” the analyst suggests.

Although Trump has not yet confirmed that he would run in 2024, there’s growing speculation that he will throw his hat into the ring. Moreover, the former president’s poll rating is increasing, especially among independents. According to a Grinnell College poll, 45 percent of independents said they would vote for Trump while just 28 percent endorsed Biden. The survey indicates that both politicians received the support of 40 percent of likely voters.

At the same time, poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight signalled on 21 October, that over his first nine months in office, Biden “has lost support among Americans of all stripes,” with independents and Hispanics being especially disenchanted.

Durham Closing In

Yet another potential reason for reviving old debunked allegations by Steele could be the latest indictment of Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to Ortel.

Special Counsel John Durham has been investigating potential misconduct in the federal investigation, called Operation Crossfire Hurricane, of the alleged Trump-Russia “collusion” since 2019.

 Sussmann’s indictment, penned by Durham, is unusually lengthy as it describes not only the lawyer’s alleged false statement to the FBI, but also close collaboration between Hillary Clinton campaign operatives, lawyers, technical specialists, and media figures to produce research linking the Trump Organisation to Russia’s Alfa Bank. The document also highlighted doubts cited by the participants of the “project” about its credibility. Later, alleged “secret communications” between the Trump Organisation and the Russian bank were disproven by the FBI.

American legal observers suggested that Durham is “circling” former Clinton aide and current national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who, as they suggest, took an active part in peddling the Trump-Russia research. However, “in testimony to Congress, Sullivan… insisted that he did not know the Alfa Bank scandal was the work of a Clinton lawyer and people associated with the campaign,” wrote Jonathan Turley, a professor of public interest law at George Washington University. Earlier, lying to Congress under oath cost ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen three years in prison.

t is also possible that the whole group “that pushed the Alfa Bank/Trump hoax” will find itself in Durham’s crosshairs, according to Techno Fog, a pseudonym for an American lawyer and writer.

“This is based on the volume of information Durham possesses on this issue, which reflects substantial expenditures of time and energy and resources to put all this together,” the writer notes, referring to “more than 6,000 documents, comprising approximately 81,000 pages” provided by Durham to Sussmann.

Techno Fog does not rule out that the data used in the research was “manipulated” judging from the group’s inner communications obtained by the special counsel. One message read that it would be possible to “fill out a sales form on two websites, faking the other company’s email address in each form,” and thereby cause them “to appear to communicate with each other in DNS.” If that’s the case, and data was indeed manipulated to look like “secret communication” between Trump’s entities and Alfa Bank, Sussmann may potentially face obstruction (18 USC 1503) or conspiracy charges, Techno Fog believes.

As for “Tech Executive-1,” identified by the media as Rodney Joffe, and “a university,” which, apparently means Georgia Tech, they may find themselves in a heap of trouble over the alleged “misuse of classified government data from DARPA,” according to the lawyer.

Given the clouds gathering on the horizon of those who peddled Trump-Russia “collusion” narrative, Steele’s interview was possibly meant to serve as a distraction for the American public, suggests Charles Ortel.

However, it’s hard to imagine that Americans buying into this, he says.

“Outside faculty lounges and corporate boardrooms, the American public is getting angrier and angrier not at Trump but at a system that fails the bottom 99% on all fronts, including health care, education, personal safety and economic security,” the analyst concludes.

Vaccine mandate will have ‘catastrophic’ effect on jobs, business group warns Biden

A business group representing wholesalers told President Joe Biden that jobs will be lost if he follows through with requiring companies with federal contracts to have their employees vaccinated. 

Eric Hoplin, president and CEO of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, laid out the case against the mandates and urged the president to back off his edict in a three-page letter. He said that if the contractor rule is implemented, thousands of workers will be laid off and the supply chain problems will grow far worse.

“NAW urges that the Executive Order’s implementation be revised to avoid this calamity and provide alternatives to promote safety, including testing, and consider a short-term delay to provide time to carry out these changes and to avoid further supply chain disruptions in the coming months,” he wrote. 

The business group represents more than 30,000 employers across the country, some of which provide products and services to the federal government.

Hoplin said NAW and its member companies are not opposed to the COVID-19 vaccines and have encouraged employees to get inoculated. He said, though, that there is a small segment of the workplace that refuses to get vaccinated. 

The letter warned that if the executive order is implemented as written, then “thousands of valued employees will be forced out of their jobs shortly before the holidays, the already compromised supply chain will be under added pressure during the busiest time of the year, and the already tight labor market will make it immeasurably more difficult to replace laid-off employees, compounding supply chain disruption.” 

The country’s supply chains are already in disarray. Dozens of ships have been seen queued up outside of ports, some purchases are taking months to be delivered, and warehouses are overloaded and understaffed. The NAW contends that some of the workers who might quit because of the mandate are crucial to helping stymie supply chain issues and that their departure will further exacerbate the problem just as Christmas looms large

In the letter to Biden, Hoplin pointed out that the mandate could affect lower-income workers. Several NAW companies have also reported that the employees who said they will resist taking the vaccine are disproportionately minorities. 

The White House maintains that the mandate will not result in mass firings. NAW said it fears that employees will have no problem leaving to work at another company. 

About 4.3 million workers quit their jobs in August, a figure that is up from 4 million in July. The number of people quitting is the highest since the United States began keeping records of the statistic about two decades ago and is equivalent to about 3% of the country’s workforce. Additionally, nearly 20 million people have quit since April. 

Hoplin said member companies have offered generous incentives for their employees to get vaccinated, including $1,000 checks, paid days off, gift cards, and free vacations to Las Vegas. Despite the overtures, some of the employees have said directly and unequivocally that they would rather be fired than vaccinated, he said. 

Dec. 8 is the deadline for employers with federal contracts to have their employees vaccinated.

“If tens or hundreds of thousands of employees are terminated just two weeks before Christmas — including the employees of the NAW companies which ensure the movement of products through the supply chain — the result could be nothing short of catastrophic for the newly unemployed and their families, and for the US economy,” Hoplin told Biden. 

He suggested amending the executive order to delay its implementation or to add a testing option as is included in another vaccine mandate promulgated by the president. Biden ordered that private businesses with more than 100 employees also have their workers be vaccinated, but if they refuse, they can present weekly negative COVID-19 tests and remain on the job.

Vindicated Rand Paul Blasts Lying Fauci Over “Civilization-ending” Experiments

“If you have half a brain you know if you combine two viruses it might be more deadly”

Senator Rand Paul, who was again proven right after the National Institutes of Health admitted it did fund gain of function experiments on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, has blasted Anthony Fauci for lying for a year and a half about research that “could destroy civilization.”

Appearing on Fox News Thursday, Paul urged that Fauci has intentionally “been parsing words” as a way of never admitting that gain of function took place in NIH funded Chinese labs.

“They still to this day are trying to get around the truth,” Paul said, adding “They say ‘well it was unexpected that it gained function’.”

The Senator continued, noting that Fauci’s “declination is this: it’s inadvertent, we didn’t know they were going to gain function. That is what a gain of function experiment is,’” Paul explained.

“You don’t know when you combine two viruses that they will be more deadly, but it might be if you have half a brain you know if you combine two viruses it might be more deadly,” Paul proclaimed.

The Senator also noted that while he has referred Fauci to the Justice Department for investigation, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland is more concerned with targeting “moms complaining about what they are teaching in school.”

Watch:

Earlier Paul had tweeted “I told you so doesn’t even begin to cover it here,” after NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence A. Tabak admitted in a letter to Rep. James Comer (R-KY) that a “limited experiment” was conducted to determine whether “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”

Paul also warned that the NIH is still funding the research:

Earlier in the year Fauci had the gall to accuse Senator Paul of being the liar:

In a further interview with ABC News, Paul urged “I’ve been asking my counterparts, Democrats across the aisle, to investigate this. Not for partisan reasons, but because both sides should want to prevent another pandemic from occurring.”

“Right now we have a virus where the whole world has been turned on its head, it has a 1% mortality. Can you imagine if they create something in a lab that has a 15% mortality or 50% mortality?” Paul warned, adding “Some of the viruses they have been experimenting with in Wuhan have 50% mortality.”

The Senator added “This isn’t just about Dr. Fauci lying, this is about trying to make sure that we don’t get an even worse plague or pandemic that comes out of a lab. We do this research in our country, it needs to be looked at.”

Paul further emphasised that Fauci “is the world’s biggest supporter of gain-of-function,” and that “he should accept responsibility and immediately resign and step down from government.”

During a Department of Justice oversight hearing Thursday, Representative Andy Biggs questioned Merrick Garland about Fauci’s lies, noting that they constitute perjury, asking whether Garland would be opening an investigation.

Garland responded “Again, I’ll refer to the long standing departmental norm that we don’t comment about investigations pending or unpending, the general point that you’re making normally  would come with a referral from the relevant committee.”

BRAVO! GOP Reps Jordan, Johnson, Steube, Biggs, Gohmert, Spartz, Massie, Gaetz, Chabot, McClintock and Ken Buck DESTROY AG Garland at House Hearing (VIDEO)

Republican lawmakers totally represented today at the House Judiciary Committee hearing!

House GOP members showed up, were prepared, organized, focused on separate issues and COMPLETELY DESTROYED the corrupt Attorney General of the United States.

The GOP lawmakers blasted Attorney General Merrick Garland and the criminal actions of the current regime.

Garland, who was unimpressive and a terrible witness, dim and clumsy, had no answers to their many questions on the dire state of the Department of In-Justice and this corrupt regime.

This was absolutely brutal!

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) put Garland in a Half Nelson and grilled the AG on the alleged “uptick” in threats at school board meetings.
Garland had no answer.

Rep. Andy Biggs (Rep. AZ) questioned AG Garland on the illegal border crossers — 400,000 this month!
Garland had no answer!

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) who grew up in the Soviet Union warned lawmakers on the FBI’s current resemblance to the Soviet KGB.
Garland had no answer.

Home Run King – Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) grilled Garland on the insurrection at the Interior Department last week and the two-tiered justice system in America.
Garland had no answer.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) grilled AG Garland over the murder of Rosanne Boyland on January 6th.
Garland had no answer.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) grilled AG Garland on the lawlessness at the open border and the highest number of illegal border crossers in the history of our country.
Grland did not have an answer.

Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) pressed Garland on his targeting of American parents as domestic terrorists.
Garland had no answer.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) brilliantly questioned AG Merrick Garland on the FBI informants working the Trump crowd on January 5th and 6th.
Garland had no answer.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) grilled Garland on the far left hacks he hired in the DOJ — like we needed any more of them!

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) grilled AG Garland on his family’s financial ties to critical race theory publications.
Garland had no answer and will not submit to an ethics review!

And Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) masterfully leveled AG Merrick Garland on Hunter Biden’s latest grift as a “painter.”

This was a textbook example on how to rule a committee hearing.
Bravo, GOP lawmakers!

Ricky Gervais’ Warning to Gen Z Is a Warning for All Society

The politically correct course our society is on will take no prisoners and spare no one, especially the generation that is currently forcing woke culture into overdrive.

Comedian Ricky Gervais has some very good advice for the generation currently making its way into adulthood and they would do well to listen to it. As reported first by Fox News, while on his “Absolutely Mental” podcast with neuroscientist Sam Harris, Gervais said he can’t wait to see Gen Z grow up and inherit the driver’s seat of society, because they’re going to find that the woke culture they fostered is only going to turn on them when the next generation comes along.

“I want to live long enough to see the younger generation not be woke enough for the next generation. It’s going to happen,” Gervais said. “Don’t they realize that it’s like, they’re next? That’s what’s funny.”

“We kicked out the old guard. We did it,” he added. “There’s only so woke and liberal you can get and then you start going the other way. But it’s inevitable.”

Gervais has been an anti-woke culture/anti-cancel culture advocate for some time, famously making his stances more clear during the 2019 Golden Globes where he denounced woke celebrity speeches before they could even make them.

To his point, however, Gen Z is far more sensitive and outraged than any generation before it, and despite outrage and guilt-inducing pseudo-morality giving it far more power than it actually deserves, they used this power to set rules that come from a place of ignorance and inexperience.

It is untenable in the long run. At some point, a limit has to be reached in order for anything from a household to a corporation to stay above water. We can see this happening now with Netflix as its co-CEO Ted Sarandos is doing now with the LGBT employees making demands of his company. He’s drawing a line with them and doesn’t seem to be willing to budge…nor should he be.

I’d like to tell you that the real world cures a lot of youthful fantasies, especially those developed in college classrooms but they don’t. The college “safe space” birthed an offensive Generation Z that carried its wokeness from the campus to the market. They’ve twisted and perverted society, they made demands that were met and altered what is and isn’t acceptable in polite company.

The brutal truth is that Gen Z wields a lot of power through their moral compass that has no true north, but as Gervais hinted, that lack of true principle is going to bite them when the younger generation moves in and begins its own crusades. Gen Z, the wokest generation, will find itself overwhelmed in battles it can’t win for losing. They’ll be canceled, destroyed, and subjugated and they’ll have no one to blame but themselves.

They’ll say they aren’t playing fair, but they created the rules of this game, and the rules were that the most outraged wins.

Beyond Meat ‘Implodes’ As Consumers Lose Interest Even Amid Supply Chain Hurdles For Real Meat

As real meat becomes harder to find and more expensive, consumers are apparently still unwilling to try fake meat products from Beyond Meat.

Plant-based synthetic meat-like product manufacturer Beyond Meat’s stock price is down 45% over last year and 14% for the day after the company’s preliminary net revenue estimate for the third quarter missed the company’s previous planned number by around $30 million.

Early in the company’s history, the fake meat supplier boasted enormous success and was aided by media figures promoting its industry and class of products, meat-like products that do not come from animals.

However, citing everything from COVID-19 and the Delta variant to “challenges in operations,” the Beyond Meat stock price is down nearly 45% today over last year, and 14% so far for the day, following disappointing news about the company’s third quarter revenues.

“Beyond Meat plunged 14% after reporting preliminary net revenue for third quarter of about $106 million,” ZeroHedge reported, noting that the company missed “the estimate of $134.3 million by about 30%, and a huge disappointment to the company’s prior guidance which was $120 million to $140 million.”

The company said “demand was impacted by broader ongoing macro and micro-economic factors” including COVID-19. It also blamed unspecified “challenges in operations that led to unfulfilled orders” and a “decrease in retail orders that persisted longer than expected from a Canadian distributor.”

According to ZeroHedge, “None of this mattered to investors who now see just round after round of excuses from the management team, which will soon be on the fake meat chopping block” unless the company’s sails are righted.

The disappointing news for the fake meat company comes even as the supply chain remains stressed and the economy remains plagued by enormous inflation under the Biden regime. With meat prices on the rise, it appears many Americans would rather pay extra for animal protein or do without it rather than try Beyond Meat’s synthetic plant-based protein products.
