Fauci is up to his bony ass in this. When the dust settles, there had better be a reckoning for what he has done.

Cool website. Thanks for posting.

Sounds to me like it wasn't President Dr. Trump who dropped the hammer, it was some infobabe.

Judge for yourself.

*************

President Donald Trump dropped the hammer on the previous administration after revealing on live TV that the White House is investigating reports the Obama admin sent millions of dollars to the Wuhan lab suspected of being linked to the origins of COVID-19. Details have recently emerged that Barack Obama’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) sent a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2015. The lab conducts experiments with coronaviruses and animals, namely bats, and is coming under increasing suspicion for being the point of origin for COVID-19 before it was unleashed on the public. Last week, during investigations into the origins of the global pandemic, U.S. officials reportedly uncovered evidence the coronavirus originated in the same Wuhan lab and China’s ruling Communist Party blamed wet markets to cover it up.

Fox News reported late on Wednesday officials have revealed that the Chinese government blamed a wet market in Wuhan to deflect blame from the lab and destroyed evidence of the experiments. COVID-19 originated in a laboratory as part of China’s effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, according to the report.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology (pictured) is suspected of being the point of origin for COVID-19 Citing “multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China’s government,” Fox reveals that the “initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that ‘patient zero’ worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.”

During his coronavirus press conference on Friday, President Donald Trump was asked about the Obama-era funding of the Chinese lab.TRENDING: Skeleton Emerges from Obama Closet Trump Finds it Drops Hammer on Live TV “Why would the U.S. give a grant like that to China?” a reporter asked. “The Obama administration gave them a grant of $3.7 million, I’ve been hearing about that, and we’ve instructed that if any grant going to that area — we’re looking at it, literally, about an hour ago — and also early in the morning, we will end that grant very quickly,” Trump responded. “But it was granted quite a while ago. They were granted quite a substantial amount of money.” Trump then asked the reporter when the grant was given, and she said it was granted by NIH in 2015. “Who was president, then, I wonder?” Trump quipped. “2015?

Who was President then, I wonder?”@realDonaldTrump says they’ll end a reported $3.5M grant “very quickly” that was given to a lab near Wuhan that the virus is being suspected of leaking out of.The grant was reportedly issued in 2015 under @BarackObama. pic.twitter.com/g0eyrPERvx — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) April 18, 2020 Last Friday, the conservative-leaning animal rights organization White Coat Waste Project alerted The Washington Examiner to the grant, and intelligence sources began to converge on the Wuhan lab earlier this week.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, the most advanced laboratory of its kind on the Chinese mainland, is based a mere twenty miles from the infamous wildlife market which was originally thought to be the location of the transfer of the virus from animals to humans. The sequencing of the coronavirus genome has traced the virus back to bats found in Yunnan caves, according to PJ Media. The Wuhan Institute was experimenting on bats from the area already known to be the source of COVID-19.

Naturally, the revelation that American taxpayers bankrolled the lab that may be responsible for the virus caused no little consternation. “When I learned our government was spending taxpayers’ money at China’s disgusting wet markets to buy and slaughter cats and dogs for cruel experiments, I helped lead the successful effort to stop it last year,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said in a statement. “I’m disgusted now to learn that, for years, the U.S. government has been funding dangerous and cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the global spread of coronavirus, and research at other labs in China that have virtually no oversight from U.S. authorities.”

“It’s unnecessary and unacceptable for American taxpayers to fund these institutions, and it has to end now,” Gaetz said. © press The Obama Administration’s dealing with China are coming under increasing scrutiny The White Coat Waste Project praised Trump’s decision to cut the Wuhan lab funding. “We applaud President Donald Trump for taking swift and decisive action to ensure that American taxpayers are not forced to pay for wasteful and treacherous animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” the project’s founder and president, Anthony Bellotti, said in a statement.

“Just one week ago, White Coat Waste Project released a blockbuster exposé, which revealed to the world how the National Institutes of Health had given China’s sloppy, state-run bio-agent laboratory part of a $3.7 million taxpayer-funded grant for dangerous animal experiments on coronavirus-infected bats—experiments that put human lives at risk.” “Thanks to the outstanding leadership of President Trump, Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Senator Martha McNally, this misuse of taxpayer dollars is over,” Bellotti added. Obama’s defenders consistently claim his administration had no scandals. Let’s see them try to deny that funding the Wuhan lab where the Chinese coronavirus may have originated is a scandal.

Fauci approved the $3.7 million for the Wuhan lab.

Yep.

Why? Because doing that research was ILLEGAL in the United States!

Read that again.

Fauci used your tax dollars to fund research that was so dangerous we outlawed it here to be done in a hostile Communist country with a history of sloppy work!

He owns the Wuhan virus, he paid for it.

Small wonder he spent so much time minimizing the very danger he created...

I would imagine that all president’s have skeletons, and Obama played the game by not uncovering his predecessor’s skeletons, and his predecessors didn’t try to undercut Obama.

Obama broke the day one precedent and tried to overthrow DJT. DJT has every right, even is obligated to Shit on Obama every chance he gets.

Having doubts about... Dr “Fauxi” ?

-  “Fauxi” praised use of 
hydroxychloroquine in 2013 to treat the MERS corona virus

- Fauxi sent a $3.7M NIH research grant to the Wuhan lab in 2015 to fund virus research that was illegal in the U.S.

- Fauxi in 2017: President Trump Will Be Challenged By a “Surprise Global Disease Outbreak”

- Despite his 2017 prediction, Fauxi was unprepared for the 2019-2020 pandemic.

- In a Jan 2020 interview, he said,  “...
this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.” - intentional?

- Fauxi back in February said malls, gyms and movie theaters were OK.

- Fauxi on March 9 told Americans cruises were OK.

- Fauci on CNN Easter Sunday suggested President Trump should have shut down the country in February

- Fauxi opposed travel ban from China - agenda?

- Fauxi is front man for Big Pharma, pushing expensive new drugs for COVID-19, rather than inexpensive proven cures like HCQ that have been around for decades 

- Fauxi is delaying tests of U.S. vaccines

- Fauxi agenda is mandated vaccines to benefit Big Pharma

- Fauxi promotes fear with exaggerated models &  high death rates

- Fauxi exaggerated need for hospital ships

- Fauxi has longtime relationship with corrupt WHO director, who covers up for the CCP 

- Fauxi plotted ‘Global Vaccine Action Plan’ with depopulation advocate Bill Gates, pushing COVID panic and doubts about HCQ.  Big Pharma $$$s.

Can anybody provide data about Gates Foundation support of this China virology research? I heard that it was big, but nothing concrete.

This might be a good place to start your search:

Prez Obama’s NIH Sent $3.7M to Wuhan Lab

The BIGGER question is how much China sent back to Boobamba:
<><> donations to his foundations,
<><> donations to his final resting place in Chicago.....
<><> big buck speaking engagemnts
<><> and so on and so forth.

==========================

According to Obama, he intends for his foundation to be central to many of his post-presidential activities, which he sees as having the potential to be more consequential than his time in the White House.

On September 25, 2018, an IRS report revealed that the Foundation no longer identified any possible mega-donors.

In 2018, contributions and in-kind gifts totaled $164.8 million, according to its filed annual report in June 2019— a drop of $67.8 million from the record $232.6 million in 2017.

The President of the Obama Foundation is Adewale Adeyemo, a Nigerian Economist ----one of Obama's former senior economic advisers-----and Deputy US National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs.

The is one actual useful service ‘gunner provides.

That's debatable. In this case the cure is worse than the disease.

He does, however, serve as an example.

The monumental disaster of the US-China Relations Act is becoming clearer.
It was Bill Clinton’s last (cough) "presidential accomplishment," the historic moment when a Democrat president of the greatest superpower of all time,
sap-happily handed its demise to a backward country, poised to strip America of its intellectual and technological superiority.

Pres Clinton was lobbied at a WH gala by big buck donor Bernard L. Schwartz, CEO of Loral Space & Communications Ltd......

First Clinton made sure to collect donations ........then he shipped Loral's US missile tech to China.

Trump Calls For Obama’s Book, Netflix Deals To Be Investigated Sep 16, 2019 -

Pres Donald Trump claimed that instead of worrying about him, the House Judiciary Committe should subpoena Obama’s records.......records Obama is reluctant to expose lest taxpayers fund out he’s been monetizing official presidential acts....

Both Obamas got humongous book deals AFTER the publisher, Penguin, got hundreds of millions of tax dollars around the Common Core nonsense.

The Obamas also got a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix for TV productions.

YOU HEARD IT HERE: the Obamas learned valuable facets of TV production in the sewers of Chicago.


Penguin publisher Pearson just announced his retirement— the “retiring” Penguin CEO is 57 years old. Poor thing.......thinking up ways to hide $350 million of our tax dollars musta exhausted him....cackle.

“Fauci approved the $3.7 million for the Wuhan lab.”

Fauci has a history of bad decisions. And flip flops a lot. Truth is, he’s a big fish in a small, government pond.

In the fields of his expertise, however, he’s regarded as mediocre, at best. Real high powered experts are in private industry and academia, making 20x his salary. Board seats, etc. Fauci would be ignored in their circles.
