It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.businessinsider.com/who-coronavirus-jumped-to-people-farms-that-breed-wild-animals-2021-3 This pro-China source says that the virus ore likely started 800 miles away from Wuhan at a region with lots of farms. There is no chance, obviously, that it leaked out of the Wuhan Institute for Virology as that would imply that the Chinese are capable of mismanaging something. - Sometimes the Flubro threads attack Coronavirus regulations by using the same fear that was used to create the regulations. Fear of phthalates, vaccines, underdeveloped immune systems, etc. have all been used to undermine the government imposed restrictions on our liberty. These all seem like...

Is it better for a 3-year-old child to spend more time with a government employee or a mother? resident Joe Biden is pushing for a federal program to put preschool children in the hands of the former -- theoretically, as a benefit to the latter. What about summer vacations? Should children have them? Or is it better to keep them in school 12 months a year? Cynthia Marten, superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, took the latter position at a Senate confirmation hearing last week. She is Biden's nominee to be deputy secretary of Education. Democratic Sen. Tim...

Malarkey! That's how the King County Sheriff's Office described a series of text messages used in an attempted scam targeting a Woodinville resident. On March 18 just before 10:00 p.m., deputies responded to the would-be victim's house in the Cottage Lake area. The female resident revealed multiple text messages that she received from an unknown person pretending to be a hitman hired to kill her. "I am very sorry for you," one of the messages reads, "it's a pit that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply." The rather poorly written text...

The psychological-warfare attack -- its script straight from the antifa/Black Lives Matter version of the Cold War's Marxist playbook -- began in January when the predictable chorus of hard-left hacks in academia, media and government vilified the American military with toxic allegations calculated to demoralize military personnel, sow destructive institutional suspicion and undermine command authority with the goal of weakening U.S. national security. The propaganda ploy the hard left's commissars, fuhrers and utopian messiahs use in their psychological assault first targets individuals. See, right-wing extremists and white supremacists fill the military ranks, and they represent an armed threat, because the...

Progressives have a visceral hatred for America, its Judeo-Christian values, its free market system, its freedoms, opportunities, and material comforts. They want to change it fundamentally -- or destroy it. Our founding documents guarantee the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” with a functioning, limited government that serves the people. But such a milieu of healthy competition is an anathema to the Left, which thinks it offensive that Americans are free to work hard and pursue their dreams with minimal government intervention. Instead of letting such a meritocracy prevail and deliver the best to the nation, the...

The man busted for the hate-fueled attack on an Asian woman in Midtown was out on parole for killing his own mother back in 2002, authorities said Wednesday. Brandon Elliot, 38, who lives in a nearby hotel that serves as a homeless shelter, was arrested early Wednesday and hit with a number of charges, including assault as a hate crime and attempted assault as a hate crime, police said. Brandon Elliot was arrested back in 2002 for the murder of his own mother in the Bronx, police said. Brandon Elliot was arrested back in 2002 for the murder of his...

Three academics from Renmin University have revealed Chinese plans to replace the United States as the leading world power. Renmin University is equivalent to Harvard or Yale, a university where future leaders are groomed. In 2016, Professor Jin Canrong suggested that one of the most effective methods was to infiltrate the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2020, Dr. Li Yi claimed, "We are ahead of schedule in terms of overtaking the United States. There will be no problem reaching this goal in 2027. The U.S. will not survive. We will drive the U.S. to its death." Perhaps the most revealing...

@RedEaglePatriot Trump will handily beat Kamala in 2024. If DeSantis is the nominee, he probably would not be able to win Michigan or Pennsylvania as easily, but probably would win Georgia.

They appear to be cowards or crooks or compromised. Cowards, crooks, or compromised seems to be the only way to explain the decision-making of the United States Supreme Court. The Court's unwillingness to make any decisions regarding the presidential election of 2020 is a historic failure. These last twelve months have seen the Court refuse to do its duty. The Court refused to be a co-equal branch of the federal government. With the Bush v. Gore of 2000, there is legal precedent. Just twenty short years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court took Bush v. Gore, a presidential election case, so...

Dear friends, we just recently - due to the Hurricane Isaias - lost electric power in our town and man was it dark at night! Dark in our room, dark in our house, dark in our neighborhood, dark in our city! It was DARK and what a neat experience to experience which had many great spiritual truths to apply to our setting! All the things we take for granted every day were gone and only DARKNESS remained! When the lights are absolutely extinguished one can feel the deep gross darkness and cannot see one's hand before their face. Have you...

Dubbed the American Jobs Plan, the White House said the “once-in-a-century capital investment” in U.S. infrastructure will create “millions” of good-paying jobs and position America to “out-compete” China by spending about 1% of GDP per year over the course of 8 years. [snip] In order to pay for this legislation, Biden also proposed what he has called the Made in America Tax Plan, which would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%. It would also increase the minimum tax on multinational corporations to 21% and “calculate it on a country-by-country basis so it hits profits in tax havens,”...

How many times must our Swamp Lords tell us before we finally understand? Questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election will not be tolerated, and doing so is an unequivocal attack upon our "democracy" — whatever that is. (I believe it's now defined as a system for Democratic Party operatives to use unverified and untraceable mail-in ballots to rig elections in their favor while hiding behind fatuous allegations that state deadlines, photo identification, signature verification, or any other security method used to filter out fraudulent ballots is actually a product of white supremacy. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Democrats'...

Wandering wolf OR-93 crossed into San Benito County over the weekend after traversing the Central Valley and crossing Interstate 5 in what wolf biologists are calling a remarkable journey.The Central Coast can now call itself home to a Gray Wolf at least for now. Wandering wolf OR-93 crossed into San Benito County over the weekend after traversing the Central Valley and crossing Interstate 5 in what wolf biologists are calling a remarkable journey. The rolling hills and farmland of San Benito County are hardly wolf country, which raises the questions about what OR-93 is after and how he long he...

US joins 13 countries in raising 'concerns' with data in WHO team's virus report The U.S. and 13 other countries on Tuesday released a statement raising "concerns" with a report from a World Health Organization (WHO)-convened team into the origins of coronavirus, saying it lacked full access to the information it needed. "We voice our shared concerns that the international expert study on the source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was significantly delayed and lacked access to complete, original data and samples," the countries said in a joint statement. There have long been questions raised about the independence of the WHO-convened...

A 7-year-old boy from Brasher Falls has been charged with rape. SNIP We spoke with a New York City attorney, who is with a group that handles youth defense cases. “Instinctually, it shouldn’t happen that a 7 year old - I don’t think you even could really realize what you’re doing at 7 years old. So I think it’s absurd to charge a 7 year old with rape. They’d have to prove he actually physically committed this act, which to me it almost seems to be an impossibility,” said Anthony Martone, Queens Defenders, felony youth defense unit director.

Hunter Biden’s forthcoming memoir reveals that text messages on an iPad tipped off his wife to his affair with his late brother Beau’s widow, according to a report Tuesday. In “Beautiful Things,” President Biden’s son says that Kathleen Biden — with whom he has three grown daughters — finally decided to divorce him when she found the device and learned about his relationship with sister-in-law Hallie Biden, a publishing insider told the Sun. SNIP “She’d tried for years to help him beat his addiction to crack cocaine and booze. But then she found out he was sleeping with his brother’s...

SNIP The lawmaker told The Times he suspects somebody is trying to extort him and his family for $25 million. “I have a suspicion that someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward,” he told the newspaper. He added in a series of tweets Tuesday night that he and his family have been working with the feds in an investigation that involves a former DOJ official seeking to extort him. “My father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI’s direction to catch these criminals. The planted leak to the FBI tonight was intended...
