President Trump’s signature Sunday on the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill started a 180 day countdown for the Pentagon and spy agencies to say what they know about UFOs. The provision received very little attention in part because it wasn’t included in the text of the 5,593 page legislation, but as a “committee comment” attached to the annual intelligence authorization act, which was rolled into the massive bill. The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), said in the comment it “directs the [director of national intelligence], in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and...

In his Twitter thread, Jha first noted that Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said in October that the US would be prepared to have 100 million doses of the vaccine ready to ship by December, and that Azar later reduced that number to 40 million.

Trumpy Bear says Mitch McConnell is too compromised to lead the Senate. McConnell's wife is Elaine Chao whose family owns a Chinese shipping company. The ships are made by the Chinese, staffed buy the Chinese and managed by the Chinese. McConnell will have to support the Chinese or they an take that family company out. Also, McConnell is telling the Senators not to reject the rigged electoral college that aims to put China Joe Biden in office. McConnell couldn't wait to congratulate Joe Biden on his rigged election win. We have some good candidates for Majority Leader in the Senate....

Count me among the Pollyannas who was sure that when the election was done the pandemic would be “done,” too. November 4 would dawn bright and clear, the thunderheads of contagion looming on the horizon dissipated by a dry air mass of political reality. And I was not alone. None other than President Trump was with me, as were pols and pundits across the conservative landscape who speculated that the draconian restrictions on liberty were as much a political tactic employed by the Left as they were a public prophylactic against viral pestilence. If Biden won, the Democrats would stumble...

My letter follows. Please contact Cornyn & Cruz and let them know who their boss is! I expect our elected leaders to follow the Constitution! Just because Mitch McConnell doesn't agree with the republican voters of Texas, we fully expect you to represent US instead of the establishment. I strongly urge you to join with a few other brave congressmen and object to the corrupt elections that the courts haven't the courage to address. Texans are strong and expect strength from our leadership. We will remember your actions on this critical issue.

This is a rational response that needs to continue to be acknowledged. Knowledge about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, where 400 Black male farmers were untreated after contracting syphilis, has a direct impact...
