330,000 Americans Die ‘With’ China Coronavirus – CDC says Number Who Died ‘From’ Coronavirus Is Much Less, Around 6 Percent

(Joe Hoft – Gateway Pundit)  On Christmas Day the government’s television channel, PBS, reported on the the China coronavirus first thing.  This is all they talk about but they never mention China, they label the pandemic COVID-19:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the announcement last night to help prevent the spread of new highly contagious COVID variants in Britain. That comes as the U.S. death toll surpassed 330,000. And hospitalizations nationwide hit a new record high yesterday, more than 120,000. Continue reading

Rubio is right: Fauci has repeatedly lied because he thinks you’re stupid

“Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”

(Tina Lowe – Washington Examiner) Nearly a year into our 15 days to slow the spread, our political class still refuses to call out our supposed medical experts for repeatedly discrediting themselves with noble lie after noble lie. Finally, Sen. Marco Rubio has rightly called out Anthony Fauci for lying to the public because our ruling class believes us plebians to be too stupid to understand the actual science about the coronavirus.

The Stealing of the Presidency, 2020

“Looking at all eight of these issues together, our poll found that a total of 17% of Biden’s voters told us they would have changed their vote if they had been aware of one or more of these important stories.” 

(Rich Noyes – News Busters) The left-wing news media didn’t just poison the information environment with their incessantly negative coverage of President Trump going into the 2020 election. They also refused to give airtime to important arguments of the Republican campaign — both pro-Trump and anti-Biden — which meant millions of voters cast their ballots knowing only what the media permitted them to know about the candidates. Continue reading

7 Ways Governments Used the Coronavirus Pandemic to Crush Human Rights

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito warned in November that the pandemic imposed “previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty, from freedom of speech down to the right to a speedy trial, since almost every activity involving human contact has been restricted.”

(John Hayward – Breitbart)  Human rights activists were generally downbeat about the global state of affairs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, often pointing to 2020 as one of the worst years in memory for declining civil liberties. Continue reading

Study finds new COVID-19 strain is 56 percent more contagious

“It may be necessary to greatly accelerate vaccine rollout.” 

(Cameron Jenkins – The Hill)  A new study released by a team of British scientists suggests that a coronavirus variant that was recently discovered in England is 56 percent more contagious than the original strain.

The study, released by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, noted that while the data suggests that the new variant is more contagious, there are no results showing it to be more deadly, The New York Times reported.   Continue reading

A battle against lies

“As we see possible parallels between the fates of Nixon and Trump, Postgate author John O’Conner and others are being featured in the film “Plot Against the President” about how the intelligence community targeted Trump in much the same way they brought down Nixon.”

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America)  The Christian existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote about the corruption in the Danish State Church, declaring that everyone knew privately that the system was rotten and corrupt but they would not say so publicly. “Just as one says that death has marked a man, so we recognize the symptoms which demand to be attacked. It is a battle against lies,” he said. Continue reading

Why Do We Continue to Follow Nonsensical COVID Rules?

The political, social, and economic devastation we are suffering is not caused by a virus “with a survival rate of well over 99%,” but by a political and financial class—international oligarchs—seeking absolute power via “a weaponized virus from China.” But we go along with it, dutifully obeying the mandates, as if we were characters in A Midsummer Night’s Dream bewitched by fairies and spells. “Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

(David Solway – PJ Media) The only demonstrable result of government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns has been the destruction of national economies, the crippling of domestic and cultural life, the suffering and death of multitudes due to untreated prior medical conditions, and the drastic rise in suicide rates….

Interim Report Finds Ravi Zacharias ‘Engaged in Sexual Misconduct Over Many Years’

“RZIM leader Carson Weitnauer published a scathing letter, accusing RZIM’s “secretive board and senior leaders” of misleading the staff and public.” 

(Julie Roys – The Roys Report)  The firm hired by RZIM to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct by Ravi Zacharias has released an interim report, finding “credible evidence” that Zacharias “engaged in  sexual misconduct over many years.” Continue reading

Emails obtained by FBI detail how Hunter Biden landed Ukrainian gas gig in 2014

“In the April 13, 2014 email to Archer, Hunter Biden said that he and his partner should portray Joe Biden’s visit to Ukraine as part of their consulting deliverables and to “ask for a long term agreement and across the board participation” in Burisma’s business. Joe Biden’s trip to Ukraine had been announced just a day earlier.”

(John Solomon – Just the News)  In the weeks before he landed a deal with a Ukrainian gas company in 2014, Hunter Biden strategized with his business partner on how to leverage an upcoming official trip to Kiev by his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to clinch the lucrative arrangement, according to emails obtained a year ago by the FBI.

Lawmakers Perpetuating Lockdowns by Handing Money to States with ‘Arbitrary and Unscientific’ Rules

The Kentucky Republican further explained the country’s fiscal situation, noting the nation brought in $3.3 trillion last year and spent $6.6 trillion. The deficit was a “record-busting $3.3 trillion,” he said, explaining there is no more coronavirus bailout money…”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the $2.3 trillion government spending bill — $900 billion of which is dedicated to coronavirus relief — criticizing Republicans for voting to print money with impunity. He warned Congress is essentially perpetuating lockdowns by handing money to states with leaders implementing rules that are “arbitrary and unscientific.” Continue reading

If Restaurants Really Spread COVID, This CEO of a Nationwide Chain Would Know. He Says It’s Not Happening.

“Marsden had just shelled out $80,000 to create the outdoor dining space which she was now forced to close. It was the one last way she’d be able to keep her ten-year-old business afloat.”

(Brian Preston – PJ Media) Waffle Houses are little outposts of Americana. They’re near highways and adjacent to hotels and truck stops all over the nation. They’re always open, always welcoming, and they always have bacon. I probably should’ve led with that.

Their CEO, Walter Ehmer, has a solid handle on whether restaurants under his watch, or really under just about any watch, spread COVID. He says they don’t. Continue reading

Ravi Zacharias Ministries (RZIM) Leader & Speakers Denounce Handling of Scandals; Two Call for New Board

Gilman also tweeted support for Lori Anne Thompson, a Canadian woman who alleged Zacharias groomed her and then exploited her by requesting nude photos and phone sex. Gilman called Thompson “courageous” and “credible” and said she “deserves to be thanked for . . . refusing to be silenced…

(Julie Roys – The Roys Report)  More employees at Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) are publicly denouncing the leaders and board of the ministry for their handling of scandals involving founder, Ravi Zacharias. Two are calling for a new board. Continue reading

The Sovietization of California

“The left’s claim to “follow the science” is a lie. The left does not follow science; it follows scientists it agrees with and dismisses all other scientists as “anti-science.”  Science does not say that eating inside a restaurant at least six feet from other diners, let alone outside a restaurant, is potentially fatal, but eating inside an airplane inches from strangers is safe.”

(Dennis Prager – PJ Media)  I am writing this column upon returning home to California after five days in Florida. For the first time since my first trip to Los Angeles in 1974 and moving there two years later, I dreaded going to California. Continue reading

New Study Shows Mask Mandates Had Zero Effect in Florida or Nationwide, But the Lie Continues

“If masks did even close to as advertised, one would expect to see the counties that went maskless to be absolute dumpster fires next to the counties that implemented mandates, right? At the very least, the numbers should favor the masked areas by more than a percentage point or two. So, how did it go? Yep, it was the Mask Cult’s worse nightmare:”

(Scott Morefield – Townhall)  Obviously, no amount of evidence, data, trends, facts, studies, or science will ever convince most ‘public health officials’ that masks aren’t doing squat to stop the spread of COVID-19. Cases and deaths continue to spike (yes, many of these are super-sensitive PCR test-driven numbers, but still) despite the fact that well over 90% of the country are complying with their absurd mandates….

Rand Paul: Masks ‘Are All About Submission’

“If Fauci has his way, you’ll never give up on the mask. It’s all about submission. They want you to submit to their will, whether there’s any science. In fact, like on schools, I’ve been telling Fauci for six months, the evidence is that if you open schools, you will not get a surge. The whole world accepts it, except for Dr. Fauci. He finally accepted it last week, six months after I started showing him the evidence.”

(Robert Kraycik – Breitbart) Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Saturday that mask mandates — ostensibly issued for public health purposes — “are all about submission,” offering his remarks in an interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, FL.

Billionaire linked to Chinese Communist Party has given extensively to Americans including to Evangelical Christians

The T.H. Chan School of Public Health of Harvard is a leading proponent of lockdowns and identity politics in healthcare. Also, it recently promoted the absurd claim that 2+2=5.

(Capstone Report)  A billionaire linked to the Chinese Communist Party and a sect condemned as heretical by Evangelical Christians has given extensively to influential Evangelical Christians like the Christian Research Institute.

As early as 2009, tax records show the Christian Research Institute (CRI) received a $200,000 grant from the Morningside Foundation. CRI received another grant worth $425,000 in 2010. Morningside Foundation is a charitable organization of Ronnie Chan and his brother Gerald Chan. Continue reading

Obama’s Latest Autobiography Rewrites Israeli History to Make You Hate the Jewish State

“Obama’s use of the term “militias” to describe the Israel Defense Forces is doubtless chosen for its resonance with the right-wing, racist, white supremacist militias that American Leftists hysterically imagine to be stalking the land.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Whatever the merits or lack thereof of Barack Obama’s presidency, he certainly leads all other presidents in the number of autobiographies he has written, with three compared to a number of his peers who are tied at one. However, his latest one, A Promised Land, is more than just an update on the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the Most Undeservedly Celebrated Man on the Planet; it’s a full-on apologia for his policies as president, and a program for his impending third term, aka the Biden administration. [emphasis added] Continue reading

Google confirms it notifies children if parents are monitoring their accounts

(Daniel Payne – Just the News)  Google informs children when their parents are monitoring their account activity, the tech giant confirmed this month, with the company claiming that doing so is a way of balancing the interests of both parents and children.

Google’s child-notification policies received attention when film director Robby Starbuck claimed on Twitter that his 7-year-old child had received a warning from Google that his account was being monitored. Continue reading

$78.6 Million in Government Guaranteed Loans Given to Televangelists

“Trinity Foundation compiled a spreadsheet [there’s a link in the article on the site] of televangelists, churches, religious broadcasters and parachurch organizations receiving PPP loans, along with notes about various organizations’ spending practices, jet ownership and scandals.”

(Trinity Foundation)  For months, Trinity Foundation has investigated televangelists receiving Paycheck Protection Program forgivable loans. Our findings: Continue reading

China, Spies, And Sexual Harassment: 3 Bombshell Stories The Legacy Media Are Hiding From You

(Ian Haworth – Daily Wire)  In the weeks leading up to November 3rd’s election, one unfortunate truth became abundantly clear: the legacy media are the Democratic party’s propaganda wing. To the Left — and some in the middle — this will sound like lazy conservative hyperbole, where the media is presented as the “enemy of the people,” pushers of “fake news.”

The truth is, however, that the “good old days” of subtle subjectivity or mild bias in the field of journalism are long gone. Instead, the legacy media have ushered in a new age of blatant and shameless narrative control with the expressed goal of achieving partisan political objectives. Continue reading

Trump Taps Conservative Giants to Lead 1776 Commission

The president signed the executive order creating the commission on September 17, Constitution Day. He hailed the Constitution as “the fulfillment of a thousand years of Western civilization. No political document has done more to advance the human condition or propel the engine of progress. A radical movement is attempting to demolish this treasured inheritance. We can’t let that happen.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Friday, President Donald Trump nominated 18 conservative leaders to serve on the “1776 Commission” to promote American patriotism in education, countering the Marxist critical race theory promoted in The New York Times‘ “1619 Project.”…. Continue reading

Hillsong Church rife with ‘inappropriate’ sex, members claimed

The group claimed in the letter that there are only “vague or absent sexual harassment/sexual assault” policies at the church, and that the organization fosters a “culture of silence and fear.”

(Mark Siegler – Page Six)  Hillsong staffers used the church like a seedy dating service, “sleeping around” with volunteers and asking them to send nude pictures — according to a group of volunteers who allegedly complained about the situation. Continue reading

New Peter Strzok Texts Undermine Official Narrative on Start of ‘Russia Collusion’ Investigation

“Critics of the FBI have long suspected that the investigations began earlier. The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS in April 2016 to investigate Trump’s supposed Russia ties.”

(Joel Pollack – Breitbart) Newly-released texts from former FBI agent Peter Strzok suggest that the Obama administration’s investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump for supposed “Russia collusion” began earlier than the official government narrative has acknowledged. Continue reading

Who Believes in Science, Now? Medical Journal Claims Biological Sex Has ‘No Clinical Utility’

“Removing or altering biological sex from identifying documents does not just cause confusion. In at least one case, it cost a life. Last May, The New England Journal of Medicine published a harrowing story about a “transgender man” who went to the hospital with abdominal pains. As it turns out, the “man” was really a pregnant woman, and she was going into labor. The woman’s misleading documents led the hospital to make a grievous error, and her child died as a result.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Just how deeply has transgender activism penetrated the medical field? This month, a top medical journal published an article claiming that sex designations on birth certificates do more harm than good. In fact, the article’s abstract claims that biological sex on a birth certificate has “no clinical utility,” even though men and women have different biochemical makeups and therefore many drugs affect the sexes differently.
