By moving ahead unilaterally, the White House usurped the CDC and FDA’s authority over these types of health-related calls…“The recommendation shouldn’t precede the data, which is what happened here. And that’s why people are so upset,” said a source close to the FDA advisory panel who was not authorized to speak on the record.
(Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge) Just as President Biden was promising to unveil new federal measures for combating the delta variant next week, the NYT dropped a bombshell report claiming that the heads of the CDC and FDA had advised the White House to scale back its plan for booster shots.

(Revolver) Over the weekend a stunning image made the rounds online. The photo showed a letter from Chase Bank to Lori Flynn, the wife of Gen. Michael Flynn, informing her that her credit cards were being canceled due to the “reputational risk” she created for the company.
After admission, I spoke to the nurse on the COVID ward. She was suited up in a plastic yellow disposable gown, teal gloves, and two masks underneath a recirculating personal respiratory system that buzzed so loudly she could barely hear. The nurse told me that she had gotten both vaccines but she was feeling worried: “Two thirds of my patients are fully vaccinated.”

“Think of the irony. If Milley considered a politicized resignation to rebuke Trump over the false charge [that Trump had ordered rioters cleared from Lafayette Square for a staged picture], then surely he could consider a real resignation after overseeing the worst military disaster of the last half-century in Kabul.”
“Judicial Watch is also leading an inquiry into what it calls suspected “collusion” between The Gates Foundation and China regarding the sale of Chinese-made medications worldwide.”
“There are 50 years of studies demonstrating [ivermectin’s] potential as an anti-viral in humans and animals. Some might call it a miracle drug.”
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
5 You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me. Psalms 139:1-5 (NASB) 
(Breitbart) The White House Wednesday refused to address leaked details of a conversation between President Joe Biden and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani revealing concerns about the government collapse as early as July.
“The use of gay special interest stories for purposes other than those of actual news: perhaps making up for lost time, or perhaps just rubbing things in the faces of those not yet up to speed with the changed mores of the age. Either way something strange and vaguely retributive is in the air.”
(Protestia) Dr. Albert Mohler has broken the silence on the Ed Litton plagiarism scandal, addressing it by way of a student’s question at SBTS’s President’s Forum earlier this morning, who asked him how students, pastors, and churches should think about the reproachful topic.
“Most people who voted for Biden did so to get rid of Trump. But casting a ballot on emotion almost always leads to disaster. And that’s what we are now facing as a nation.”
“President Biden’s Health and Human Services department is grossly overreaching its authority and, in doing so, putting children’s psychological and physical health in danger. Our clients are rightfully objecting on medical, ethical, religious and conscientious grounds to this unlawful government mandate to provide gender-transition procedures.”
(Project Veritas) Project Veritas released shocking new video today of California AP Government teacher, Gabriel Gipe, boasting about politically indoctrinating his students at Inderkum High School.
“Unlike the Force in Star Wars, which one “masters” over time through meditation and other self-calming practices, the Spirit of Christ sovereignly confronts us. It is not we who make use of him; it is he who makes use of us. For, apart from God’s Spirit, we are utterly lost in a plethora of destructive patterns which lead, ultimately, to death.” 
(OAN) GOP members in the House are holding Joe Biden’s feet to the fire regarding his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Monday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) led a roundtable discussion with a group of Republican lawmakers, many of whom served in Afghanistan.
Freeman has taken even sharper aim at other members of his own faith…He claimed, “Evangelical Christianity is the greatest threat to human existence today. It must be laid waste.”
“Even a private sector vaccine passport should be resisted by every possible means. It is the first step on a slippery slope to a social credit system, and the only time it can be stopped is at the very beginning.”
(SF Gate) The Caldor Fire raced down highways 50 and 89 — main arteries for travel to and from the Tahoe Basin — as the wildfire continued to burn out-of-control Monday night. The flames burned cabins along the highways as residents of nearby Douglas County, Nevada 
“The Bible says ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The most practical way right now you can love your neighbor as yourself, wear a mask. Okay? And to not wear one basically says, ‘I don’t care about you, or I don’t even care about your fears.”
There’s no evidence of more outbreaks in schools…where the solid majority of kids wore masks for an entire academic year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
