I’m not sure insurance was ever meant to cover this sort of thing, though admittedly I’m not an expert in insurance so who knows. A Missouri woman who claimed she caught a sexually transmitted disease when she had sex with her boyfriend in his vehicle has been awarded a $5.2 million settlement from her now-ex-partner’s car insurance company. …
She claimed he caused her to catch the STD when he knew of his condition and the risks of unprotected sex.
An arbitrator later found that the couple’s sex in the vehicle “directly caused, or directly contributed to cause” the HPV infection. Yeah uhhhh I’m just kinda throwing this out there, but: If you catch an STD from someone, it wasn’t “caused” by a car. If you catch a disease because of risky extramarital sex, there’s only one person in the world you can reasonably blame: Of course, the guy in this case should’ve said something. And to be fair that’s what the court ruled—that he was liable. But Geico’s being his insurer meant they were on the hook for the car-based carnal indiscretion: The woman was awarded the $5.2 million from Geico after the man was found liable for not disclosing his infection, according to the news outlet.
The insurer asked for the award to be tossed out, claiming the judgment violated its rights to due process, but its request was denied and it appealed.
On Tuesday, the three-judge panel found that the lower court did not err by denying Geico’s motions, saying the company did not have a right to “relitigate those issues.” You can imagine that after this, Geico might start to insist on some particular conduct from its clients: That any unmarried customers in intimate situations, for instance, will agree to the time-honored tradition of being sewn up in bundling […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
