    Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the newly released Afghanistan withdrawal report by the Biden administration is a “political whitewash.” Anchor Shannon Bream said, “We got the report this week which said President Biden’s choices how to withdraw were constrained by conditions created by his predecessor. He said this special immigrant visa program had been starved with resources, and the Taliban had been emboldened by engaging in peace talks without including our allies. They talk about the release of 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison. Is it fair to say any of those...
  • Canada's use of emergency powers justified - report

    Justice Paul Rouleau, who led the probe into the use of 1988 Emergencies Act, called the decision a "drastic move" but not a "dictatorial one". The act bestows the government with added powers in times of crisis. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used it on 14 February 2022... Mr Rouleau wrote in his Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) report... Mr Rouleau said he did not come to the conclusion easily... Though the report says the use of emergency powers was necessary, it also suggests that Prime Minister Trudeau inflamed the situation with comments that called the movement a "fringe minority" which...

    The fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin last year was an accident, according to a determination made by New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator following the completion of an autopsy and a review of law enforcement reports. The medical investigator’s report was made public Monday by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office along with numerous reports from the FBI on the revolver and ammunition that were collected following the shooting. Prosecutors have not yet decided if any charges will be filed in the case, saying they would review the latest reports and were awaiting cell...

    The corporate press and the globalist machine is already trying to whitewash what just happened in Central Asia and shift accountability to the backs of our uniformed military personnel who were on the ground. We cannot let this stand. Those responsible need to be shamed forever, and it starts with Joe Biden. Former Special Ops Commander and author of the just released book based on his military experiences ‘The Common Sense Way’ Pete Blaber yesterday laid out the timeline of what actually happened in Afghanistan. Also below is Blaber’s timeline from the perspective of those on the ground in-country for...
  • Covid-19: FDA set to grant full approval to Pfizer vaccine without public discussion of data

    Transparency advocates have criticised the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision not to hold a formal advisory committee meeting to discuss Pfizer’s application for full approval of its covid-19 vaccine. Last year the FDA said it was “committed to use an advisory committee composed of independent experts to ensure deliberations about authorisation or licensure are transparent for the public.”1 But in a statement, the FDA told The BMJ that it did not believe a meeting was necessary ahead of the expected granting of full approval.

    (CNN)Poll of the week: A new Gallup poll finds that 59.2% of Americans say they're thriving. Additionally, 73% of Americans said they experienced enjoyment for a lot of the previous day.The former is the highest rating Gallup has ever recorded on the measure dating back to when it was first taken more than 13 years ago. The latter is the highest since the coronavirus pandemic began early last year. What's the point: The last year has been tough for a lot of Americans. Among other issues, the coronavirus dominated our lives, and there was a very contentious presidential election. But...
  • CNN’s Acosta: IG Report on Park Clearing ‘Almost a Whitewash’ – Sounds Like IG ‘Auditioning to Become the Inspector General at Mar-a-Lago’

    On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” CNN host and Chief Domestic Correspondent Jim Acosta stated that the report by Interior Department Inspector General Mark Greenblatt that Park Police did not clear protesters from Lafayette Park so then-President Donald Trump could do a photo op “sounded as if this inspector general was auditioning to become the inspector general at Mar-a-Lago.” And “is almost a whitewash of what occurred on June 1.” Acosta said, “I certainly think it raises more questions than it answers. I mean, the IG report is saying that the Park Police cleared the park with the purpose...

    On June 14, 2017, a team of Republican lawmakers went to an athletic field in Alexandria, Virginia to practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. As they worked out, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle and pistol approached and opened fire. Representative Steve Scalise, the House Republican whip, was gravely wounded. A lobbyist was also seriously hurt, and a congressional aide and Capitol Police officer were wounded, as well. The shooter, James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, was an active Bernie Sanders supporter who hated Republicans and particularly hated then-President Donald Trump. “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has...

    Scientists will likely discover the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic within the next few years, after they pursue and zero in on an animal source for the new coronavirus, a member of an international team of investigators led by the World Health Organization said Wednesday. “I’m convinced we’re going to find out fairly soon,” said Peter Daszak, a member of the WHO-led team and a zoologist who specializes in hunting for viral origins in animals. “Within the next few years we’ll have real significant data on where this came from and how it emerged.” Dr. Daszak was one of three...

    The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is authorized to receive taxpayer funding for animal research through January 2024, according to the National Institute of Health. The WIV received $600,000 in taxpayer funds between 2014 and 2019 through the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance to study bat-based coronaviruses. The president of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, was the sole U.S. member in the World Health Organization delegation that investigated the origins of COVID-19 in China. Daszak said the White House should blindly accept the WHO’s determination that it’s highly unlikely that COVID-19 could have unintentionally leaked from the WIV. The Wuhan Institute of...
  • WHO whitewash: Investigators BACK Beijing's claim Covid did NOT leak from a Wuhan lab and call for 'no further study into that theory' - but they WILL probe China's claim virus was imported on frozen meat

    WHO scientists sent on a coronavirus fact-finding mission to China have today thrown their weight behind Beijing - dismissing theories the virus leaked from a lab wile backing theories that the virus was imported on frozen meat. Peter Embarek, leader of the WHO team, said today that 'further research' into the imported meat theory - which is being pushed by Beijing - is needed, along with studies looking at early cases of Covid reported outside of China. At the same time, he dismissed theories that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, saying the possibility is 'extremely unlikely' and...

    In the waning years of the Obama administration, Hunter Biden, whose life was in a downward spiral, took a job with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was transparently attempting to gain influence with Hunter’s father. The maneuver was unsuccessful for Burisma (which received no favorable treatment from the vice-president), fairly successful for Hunter (who received a hefty paycheck for minimal work), and has left a residue of low-grade sleaze that Joe Biden’s campaign has proven unable to scrape away. The dilemma this poses for Biden, and his party, is what - if anything - they can do about this...

    Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page said the report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz expected to be released Monday will only tell “part of the story.” Page told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that he expects there to be more “exculpatory” information that is still classified that will not be in the report. “Well, I think we’ll learn part of the story tomorrow,” Page said. “What I’ve learned from some of the leakers and the -- one of the papers of record -- a top reporter there said that, you know, there’s a lot of exculpatory information which...

    The Justice DepartmentÂ’s internal watchdog will release a highly anticipated report Monday that is expected to reject President Donald TrumpÂ’s claims that the Russia investigation was illegitimate and tainted by political bias from FBI leaders. But it is also expected to document errors during the investigation that may animate Trump supporters. The report, as described by people familiar with its findings, is expected to conclude there was an adequate basis for opening one of the most politically sensitive investigations in FBI history and one that Trump has denounced as a witch hunt. It began in secret during TrumpÂ’s 2016 presidential...

    The Justice Department’s internal watchdog has determined that political bias did not influence the federal investigation of potential links between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to people familiar with the matter, countering White House claims of deliberate partisan influence. Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who will release his long-anticipated report Monday, also found that the FBI had enough evidence to justify obtaining a foreign intelligence warrant in 2016 to conduct secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign advisor who had multiple contacts with Russian officials, the people said. The report’s findings are expected to effectively reject or dismiss...

    A Justice Department watchdog is expected to strongly criticize FBI officials for being careless in their pursuit of obtaining wiretaps on a former Trump campaign aide during the start of the Russia probe, but not find they were acting with a bias toward President Trump, The New York Times reported Friday afternoon. But the highly anticipated report from the Department of Justice Inspector General is also expected to say top agency leaders did not act with a bias toward against President Trump in terms of how they undertook the probe. In particular, the DOJ IG, Michael Horowitz, faulted Kevin Clinesmith,...
