  • Majority of U.S. Intelligence Agencies Are In Agreement About How the Coronavirus Came About

    The majority of the United States' 17 intelligence agencies are in agreement. They believe that the coronavirus started in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Even though the intelligence community believes this virus started in a lab, they believe its leak was unintentional and the result of an accident, a senior intelligence official told the Daily Caller. Although all the agencies are not on board, a leaked intelligence report from the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance – made up of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand – shows that 70 to 75 percent of the U.S.' agencies believe...
  • Fascism: Democrat Fascists Double-Down in CA, IL and MI

    Make no mistake about this: You are now being conditioned by Democrats and their corrupt toadies in the U.S. news media to accept fascism in your lives and to demean anyone who dares protest the irrational, brutish edicts coming down from Democrat governors and mayors as dangerous racists who want to kill you. Check out this report from California yesterday. There, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, who on Friday shut down all of the beaches and state parks in his domain, on Saturday surrounded the state Capitol building with police fully-armored in riot gear to deal with a peaceful assembly of...
  • Friends of Joe Biden Worry a Run for President Could Bruise His Legacy (2015 story)

    The New York Times ^ | August 5, 2015 | Carl Hulse and Jason Horowitz
    WASHINGTON — Later this month, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. will escape for a family retreat to mourn his late son, Beau, but also to mull, as his dying son urged him to do, a campaign for president. Some of Mr. Biden’s friends and allies worry that he will decide it is a good idea. Those supporters, in the White House and the Senate, and within the political circles he has moved in for decades, fear that the legacy Mr. Biden has built as an effective partner who took on tough jobs for President Obama, not to mention the...

    A Spring Hill nail salon reopened on Friday 1 May after Gov. DeSantis' "Safer At Home" order expired with no substantive renewal put in its place. The owner of the salon was not taking walk-ins and only took appointments from known customers with the request that they wear masks when coming in. The salon took precautions similar to what you'd see at grocery stores, WalMart, Target, Home Depot, etc.: acrylic "shields" at all of the manicure stations, full wipe down and thorough cleaning of pedicure stations, workers wore masks at all times, and patrons were kept at distance from one...

    The Wuhan virus appears to be an incredible and suspiciously timely gift for the globalists to push through their agenda faster than any of us could have expected. Some have even gone so far as to appear to not want a quick solution to the virus by ridiculing and trying to stop promising treatments already saving the lives of many infected patients.

The police are "law enforcement" that are arresting this man not even breaking the law. https://twitter.com/joshshaffer08/status/1255548193175191553

    If you’ve ventured outside lately, say, to run to the store for groceries, you’ve likely encountered a familiar scene: Masks dangling from faces. Safe distances of 6 feet reduced to mere inches.Some not wearing masks at all.That’s what makes Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision to lift the shelter-at-home mandate so dangerous. *** As you might expect, the decision to end the state’s most ambitious attempt to slow the spread of the virus drew criticism from healthcare professionals.One went as far as to say that Kemp could be setting the stage for “a punishing new wave of infections.” They think the governor...

    The United States is clearly heading towards a full-blown economic depression. Some 26.5 million people have filed for unemployment over the last few weeks — erasing all the employment gains since 2008, with more surely to come — and recent sales data in most economic sectors is apocalyptically bad. The true unemployment rate may already be over 20 percent. It's not at all unrealistic to think the coming decade could resemble the Great Depression of the 1930s. Indeed, the political reaction is beginning to resemble the '30s in troubling ways already. Congress has passed several enormous economic rescue measures, but...

    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer slammed the protesters who gathered inside the state's Capitol building on Thursday to demand she rescind her stay-at-home orders, saying they represented the “worst racism and awful parts” of U.S. history. “Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” Whitmer said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The behavior you've seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan,” she added.

    Facial recognition systems threaten our privacy. They can track where you go and add that information to the massive amount of information already saved about each of us. Big Brother is watching you and enabled by AI. And when it makes a mistake reading your face, you could end up with criminal charges far worse than when the toll tag system misreads your license plate. Here are several methods for fooling and interfering with facial recognition systems.

    Joe Biden, discussing sexual assault claims in early 2018, told PBS flatly, “Women should be believed.” On Friday, facing his own accusations, he stressed on MSNBC the importance of “taking the woman’s claims seriously when she steps forward — and then vet it, look into it.” That shift in Biden’s tone reflects the way a former staffer’s claim that he assaulted her 27 years ago is raising new questions for the #MeToo movement. Democrats and women’s activists, eager to unseat a president they consider deeply misogynistic, are facing tough decisions over whether to stick by Biden or distance themselves —...

  • RNC Head DESTROYS ABC’s Raddatz on Media Ignoring Biden Rape Claim

    McDaniel wasn’t having any of Raddatz’s nonsense and hit back hard by calling out the blatant and “appalling” double standard: I'm going to take issue with the media ignoring this. It has been appalling the hypocrisy, as to how Brett Kavanagh was treated versus Joe Biden. Brett Kavanaugh, every accuser was put on TV, it was wall-to-wall coverage. They went into his high school yearbook. They said he needed an FBI investigation. Michael Avenatti was on TV accusing him of gang rape, from an accuser who never ven met Brett Kavanaugh. Going further, she pointed out that the double standard...

    Previously withheld FBI documents related to the Agency's case against Gen. Michael Flynn were uncovered this week. On the one hand, exculpatory evidence that had been denied to Flynn's attorneys was revealed. On the other hand, an illegal plot designed to entrap the General was documented. James Comey, FBI Director at the time these illegal actions were taken, maintains that "these were standard procedures. When the Agency has an opportunity to take down a bad guy, every option to accomplish the job is in play. We brainstormed a few ideas, got the okay on a course of action from President...

    In the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind the government stages a train accident in order to evacuate the area around Devils Tower so that they can conduct operations in secret. This situation with the coronavirus feels a lot like the scenario in the move. The world governments are using the coronavirus to divert attention and hide something. Many Freepers feel like I do. The worldwide reaction to the virus makes no sense. I ain't buying it and neither are you. We have never seen the entire developed world commit suicide to contain any virus not even smallpox or...

    Skip SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has killed 56,749 Americans as of Tuesday. That’s not good. But it’s not as bad as the 2017-2018 flu season, when 80,000 -plus perished. Skip A recent Stanford University antibody study estimated the fatality rate from the virus is likely 0.1% to 0.2%. The World Health Organization (WHO) had estimated that the death rate was 20 to 30 times higher and called for isolation policies. On which version do you think the media focused? In New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic, the death rate for people 18 to 45 years old is...

    On Saturday, New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital decided to close the Samaritan’s Purse emergency hospital constructed to help coronavirus patients in New York’s historic Central Park. Sources said the decision came in part due to outrage at Samaritan’s Purse’s Christian beliefs about marriage and sexuality. The decision came one day after New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson demonized Samaritan’s Purse and its president, Franklin Graham, of “hate” against the LGBT community.
