I have an idea I would like to float past Freepers as to how to get the word out about how we are being hoodwinked on COVID-19. This idea involves using “tipcards” when giving tips to service workers, such as waitresses/waiters/food servers, delivery people, etc. I don’t know about you, but I try to tip these people more than the usual 20%, mainly because they have to wear masks all day long and I feel sorry for them. I am also rather impressed by how surly they have not become because of this. Many years ago, when I was a...

This is very interesting. The document described in the video below is available HERE. Research into state health regulations by Fog City Midge shows that new guidance for the definition of COVID-19 positive infections is likely the biggest background cause in a dramatic upswing in positive test results. WATCH: This revelation would explain exactly why those who construct the reporting systems are pushing so hard for contact tracing. According to the new guidance anyone who comes into contact with a person who tests positive is now also considered positive. [pdf link] Nice convenient way to inflate the infection rate. The...

Some students and faculty at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte want the school to fire its associate vice chancellor for safety and security over his decades of military experience, which includes a stint as warden of the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. John Bogdan is a retired U.S. Army colonel who transitioned from a 34-year military career to become UNC Charlotte’s associate vice chancellor for safety and security in December 2018, and he’s since help navigate the school through a shooting in 2019 and the coronavirus pandemic this year. But students and staff are calling on...

...My mother was my father’s wife. (These days, that statement is not obvious.) She was the only person he was close to. She mattered to him. It was his love for her that kept him around. If not for that one key fact, my life would be completely different. If not for the fact that his wife mattered to my father, I would probably be imprisoned or dead today... We can all agree that black lives matter...So a question presents. What can we do to preserve and enhance those black lives? The feel-good cause du jour is that we should...

...Public health, as I have repeatedly laid out, is far broader than infectious diseases or epidemiology. Public health, by public health publications and official websites, includes prevention and early treatment of cancer, heart disease, and stroke, plus suicide, and overdose prevention. Fauci’s fatal formula for America ignored all those known medical, scientifically validated, quantifiable side-effects. My family doctor couldn’t scrape a small mole off my shoulder this morning without giving me the known side effects and getting my written acknowledgment and consent. Everybody knows what a real doctor must do before prescribing any course of treatment in America. Everybody knows....

“Hushpuppi,” a Nigerian scammer suspected of trying to launder hundreds of millions of dollars, was taken into FBI custody in Chicago on Thursday evening. Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, a.k.a. “Ray Hushpuppi” and “Hush,” a Nigerian national, had just been expelled from the United Arab Emirates for various suspected crimes after his arrest last week. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says that Abbas will face criminal charges “alleging he conspired to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from business email compromise (BEC) frauds and other scams, including schemes targeting a U.S. law firm, a foreign bank and an English Premier League soccer club.”...

Last night, President Donald Trump hosted a celebration of our great nation at Mount Rushmore. In the process, he delivered one of the greatest patriotic speeches in U.S. history. The corrupt news media, which hates America, obviously hated the speech and is portraying it as having been, in the words of the New York Times, “dark” and “divisive.” For those who missed it and still like to read stuff, here is the transcript of the speech. Judge for yourself. Transcript: Well, thank you very much. Governor Noem, Secretary Bernhardt, we very much appreciate it. Members of Congress, distinguished guests, and...

Domestic terrorists? What domestic terrorists? – We led Friday’s News Roundup with the FBI’s arrest of one Jason Charter, a BLM/Antifa organizer who led the effort that tried and failed to take down the Andrew Jackson statue in Washington, DC’s Lafayette Square last month. That seemed like an important story with all of the media-fed, Democrat-organized social unrest taking place in the country, right? It turns out that, other than Fox News and OAN, not a single other TV “news” outlet spent a second of air time covering that story. That’s right: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN are all...

Clair Janover lied about working for Deloitte. She was finishing a 2 week Internship (unpaid and voluntary) and lastly she was not fired. In the meanwhile she raised over 10k online from sympathetic Leftist that thought she was paid and fired. It was all a lie for attention. Which is a felony. https://twitter.com/SoLaTiDoBlades/status/1279162085591535616 

For year now, Bill Gates has been using Africa as his personal laboratory to carry out experiments on the people of the African continent. He can do this with the approval and authority of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and you could, too, if you could donate $4 billion dollars like he did. Bill Gates is the world’s largest private funding source of the WHO, and as such, he has an open door to go to Africa and do as he pleases. But Africans, thanks to social media, have gotten wise to his schemes over the years,...

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stated in an interview published Friday that she would have done a “better job” than President Trump in response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. “We wouldn’t have been able to stop the pandemic at our borders the way that Trump claimed in the beginning, but we sure could have done a better job saving lives, modeling better, more responsible behavior,” Clinton told the Hollywood Reporter when asked if she would have handled the “current moment of crisis” better than President Trump. “I don’t think we necessarily should have had as deep an economic assault on...

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) this week shut down wineries, indoor dining, movie theaters, museums and zoos in 19 counties across the state....Conveniently, Gavin Newsom’s vineyard, Plumpjack Winery, located in Napa Valley is open for business. Napa Valley is not being targeted by Newsome....Plumpjack Winery attempted damage control after major public backlash by deleting their Instagram post (TGP grabbed screenshots before deletion) bragging about being open for the 4th of July weekend...As of Thursday evening, after being completely booked up for the 4th of July weekend, Plumpjack Winery’s next available tasting is Tuesday July 7. However, by Friday morning Plumpjack’s...

Let’s make sure all those security cameras are actually turned on this time, hmmmm? – Texas Senator Ted Cruz laid down a bar for Attorney General William Barr and his people to meet in the case involving Ghislaine Maxwell this morning: Note the quotes Cruz places around the phrase “hang himself” – clearly communicating that he shares our skepticism about the official government story around the killing of Jeffrey Epstein while in federal custody last year. Keeping Maxwell safe likely will indeed be a challenge given that a convenient case of “COVID-19” has been added to the list of ways...

<p>Because we’re marking the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, it would be instructive to see where we are today by comparing a few passages from our founding document with current events.</p> <p>1776: King George III has “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”</p>

...That sound you hear is that of princes, politicians, and international party girls and playboys all shaking in their boots with the realization that a woman with everything to gain and nothing left to lose is in the custody of prosecutors who would love to hear her secrets. Maxwell spent decades as Epstein's girlfriend slash partner in crime. She stands accused of orchestrating the procurement of children to rape and traffic to their famous friends. A comprehensive case detailing what exactly Maxwell knows would probably require a book, not a news item, but it's worth evaluating just what she was...

“The university ended the employment of Dr. Neal-Boylan on June 19 after 10 months in her role as dean of the Solomont School of Nursing. As with all such decisions, it was made in the best interest of the university and its students.” The cancel culture that is rampant on American college campuses right now has just claimed another victim. A nursing dean at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, has reportedly been fired after saying in an email that “everyone’s life matters.” Where does this end?

I came across the oddest thing yesterday: A group of conservative opinion/news sites engaged with an aggregator site that is raising money for Black Lives Matter. That aggregator site calls itself Mixi.Media, and at least pretends to be an aggregator specializing in promoting conservative viewpoints. It offers traffic-exchanging partnerships for blogs and websites that sign up and execute a reciprocal advertising agreement. If you go to Mixi.Media’s home page you will see that it looks like a typical news aggregator site, providing logos of its partners (and non-partners as well) and links to their articles. If you establish a login...

Tired of all this WINNING yet? – Despite the best efforts of the corrupt news media and its Democrat masters to keep the economy shut down, America had another blowout jobs month in June. The U.S. economy added 4.8 million new jobs during the month, again humiliating all the “experts” who had projected about 2.5 million would be added. That is almost 10 million net new jobs added during May and June, despite the best efforts by Democrat governors in big states like New York, California, Michigan and New Jersey to slow-play their reopenings. In total, 17.8 million American workers...

Democrats, their liberal media, Never-Trump RINOs and Liz Cheney are very upset to hear Russia has been paying the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. They’re not doing a very good job. ** There were 22 US deaths in Afghanistan total in 2019. ** There have been 9 US deaths in Afghanistan so far this year. ** Compare that to the 496 deaths in 2010 and 412 deaths in 2011 under Obama!Facts matter.The Taliban also laughs at these latest reports. In a new report at The Daily Beast the Taliban admits Russia has been paying them for US...

Journalist Michael Tracey recently traveled to Minneapolis, Minn. to survey the damage that has been done to minority-owned small businesses and other properties in the city following the Black Lives Matter (BLM) terror spree. What he found was incredibly depressing, as immigrants, minorities, and other producers have lost their life’s work because of left-wing destruction. Businesses have been forced to post groveling messages at their storefronts, begging the racial dominance mob to spare them as they rampage throughout the city.
