  • Omicron opportunities: Let’s think out of the box, shall we? What is the death rate from Omicron?

    American Thinker ^ | 12/01/2021 | A. Welderson
    The recent rollout of the Omicron Covid strain has prompted me to point out a few salient facts which may have escaped the notice of others. An advantage of viewing life from the cheap seats is a certain degree of perspective which is denied those who move and shake the times, or even those who watch closer to the field of play. Now, I realize that the aforementioned Omicron should actually be named the Xi strain, Xi being the next Greek letter in the on-deck circle for the never-ending cavalcade of Covid mutations in the batting order. However, the coach...
  • WHO Official Claims It's 'Too Early' to Determine COVID-19 Originated in China

    As one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden rejoined the World Health Organization. But a top WHO official’s recent comment about the origins of the novel coronavirus call the decision into question. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said during a press conference last week that it’s “too early” to say that the coronavirus originated in China. “I think we have to say this quite plainly; all hypotheses are on the table and it is definitely too early to come to a conclusion of exactly where this virus started either within or without China,”...
  • Biden’s Latest Executive Order Bans The Use Of The Term “China Virus”

    01/27/2021 6:44:23 AM PST · by A.M. Smith · 78 replies
    Given that the COVID-19 virus originated in Wuhan, China, and the precedent of using place of origin within the names of viruses, it would only make sense that we would use the term “China virus” to describe COVID-19. Not Anymore, you racist! The latest of Joe Biden’s THIRTY SEVEN executive orders signed in the first week of his presidency states that the term ‘Chinese virus’ or ‘China virus’ is now banned.
  • Rep. Ted Budd (NC) Introduces 'Save Our Servers' Act (To slap the commies in the face)

    Washington, D.C. -- Today, Rep. Ted Budd introduced the Save Our Servers Act. The bill withholds certain federal funds from states and localities who shut down indoor or outdoor dining at restaurants. These jurisdictions can only have the federal funds restored when they rescind all shutdown orders. Rep. Budd released the following statement: “Given the fact that dining at restaurants accounts for less than 2 percent of COVID-19 infections, the restaurant restrictions we see in cities across our country are completely arbitrary and devastating to the lives of thousands of servers and food service workers. It’s time that we tell...

    Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution Thursday condemning terms such as “Chinese virus” used to describe the coronavirus as a form of “anti-Asian sentiment,” the Blaze reported. “It passed in a mostly party-line vote of 243 to 163 with 14 Republicans voting with the Democratic majority in favor,” the outlet stated. However, all other Republicans voted against the resolution.
  • Relationship between Russian Collusion and Contact Tracing for the ChiCom Flu (Vanity)

    This post shows the illegal use of surveillance technology and how the same methods can be used with contact tracing. There is a pattern of civil rights abuse by the deep state, Democrats and a complicit media. The word 'pattern' is used in a very precise manner. It is a template that is to be used over and over again. It is important to recognize this pattern because it will be used again. The pattern was used in the failed coup attempt against President and to disenfranchise 63,000,000 voters. Let that sink in. Hopefully it will be enough for you...
  • Exclusive – Sen. Pat Toomey Calls for Reopening America Faster: ‘Danger’ of Coronavirus to Most Americans Overstated

    Breitbart ^ | May 8, 2020 | Matthew Boyle
    Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Friday that American political leaders are “overstating the danger” of coronavirus to most Americans while “underestimating” the economic “carnage” that lockdowns nationwide are causing. Toomey, a key U.S. senator from a Rust Belt battleground state, conducted this interview with Breitbart News after rolling out a plan to much more quickly reopen Pennsylvania than the plan the state’s Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf has begun. Toomey, a widely respected Republican who serves alongside a Democrat, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), is not known for making outlandish claims so his statements here...

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — More than a month into the statewide school closure, state Education Secretary Pedro Rivera says with current data, he doesn’t see schools reopening in the fall. “We’re preparing for the best, but we’re planning for the worst,” Rivera said. He said schools across the commonwealth have stepped up by providing continuity of education through online and print materials, as well as programming broadcast on public television. “At the end of the day, we’re going to make sure that the health and welfare of our students is first and foremost, front and center,” Rivera said. “And we’re...
  • REVEALED: U.S. government gave $3.7million grant to Wuhan lab at center of coronavirus leak scrutiny that was performing experiments on bats from the caves where the disease is believed to have originated

    The Chinese laboratory at the center of scrutiny over a potential coronavirus leak has been using U.S. government money to carry out research on bats from the caves which scientists believe are the original source of the deadly outbreak. The Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan which were funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government. Sequencing of the COVID-19 genome has traced it back to bats found in Yunnan caves but it was first thought to have transferred to humans at an animal market in Wuhan....
  • Sweden sees just 77 new deaths from coronavirus and number of new infections drops by a quarter to just 544 as nation continues to resist lockdown

    Sweden's daily death toll and its number of new coronavirus cases both fell today as the country continues to hold out against imposing a lockdown. The 77 new deaths - down from 106 yesterday - bring the total from 793 to 870, according to figures from Sweden's public health agency. The number of confirmed infections went up by 544, a drop of nearly a quarter from yesterday's near-record figure of 722. It takes the total number of cases from 9,141 to 9,685. These figures will likely be used to pressure governments which have resorted to lockdowns to battle Covid-19 to...

    Spain Guardia Civil said they have set up 150 road blocks across Spain’s main roads to discourage unauthorised journeys and will also be carrying out mobile surveillance. Despite strict rules on when drivers are allowed to take the road, traffic at the start of the Easter break has increased as a minority defy orders to stay home and attempt to move to another part of the country. Spain’s General Traffic Department (DGT) reported that there were traffic jams on main roads leading out of Madrid partly as a result of roadside checks on those attempting to leave the city.

    The Prime Minister of Sweden has issued a stark warning to his citizens, telling them to prepare for innumerable deaths following the country's laid back attitude to Covid-19. Stefan Löfven's grim message came after some 2,300 doctors and academics hurled criticism at Sweden for not taking the pandemic seriously - barely tightening up preventative methods. Social Democrat Löfven warned citizens to prepare for thousands of deaths. To the amazement of many European countries, who have for the most part enforced lockdowns and social distancing measures, life in Sweden has been permitted to go on with relative normality. Many bars, eateries,...

    HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by a gun shop that challenged Gov. Tom Wolf’s authority to shutter businesses determined to be “non-life-sustaining,” paving the way for enforcement to begin Monday. Without comment, a majority of the state’s high court late Sunday denied the petition by a gun shop, a gun purchaser and a law firm to have Wolf’s shutdown order thrown out. The lawsuit had claimed Wolf’s edict violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms and other constitutional rights.

    Jeremy Lin rips Trump for ‘empowering’ racism with talk of ‘Chinese Virus’ President Trump said Wednesday that his use of the term “Chinese Virus” was “not racist at all.” Among those who might strongly take issue with that assertion would be Jeremy Lin, given his criticism of the president on Tuesday. Lin, a California native of Taiwanese descent who last year became the first Asian American player to help a team win an NBA title as a member of the Toronto Raptors, posted several tweets accusing Trump of “empowering” racism by using the term and saying the president was contributing...
