Like most murders the origin of the COVID-19 virus can easily be solved by motive. In 2019 what was corporate and municipal America’s biggest unmanageable expense? That’s easy. Retirement pensions. The solution was to murder off intransigent retirees, inflict massive inflation with an excuse for election fraud, and insert politicians keen on printing and spending like drunken sailors. The solution devalues overly invested corporate and municipal funds. Comrade Xi was correct when he said that the COVID-19 virus came from the United States.

Despite its recent foray into divisive politics, it appears the country’s most iconic soda company still wants the majority of Americans to have a Coke and a smile. A conservative group’s $1 million ad campaign against what it considers “woke capitalism” seems to be having an impact, at least in the case of Coca-Cola and its executives’ desire to lower the political temperature. The ads, which pointedly criticize several CEOs on a range of issues — from contributing to childhood obesity to failing to stand up to the forced labor of China’s Uyghur minority — are aimed at trying to...

A spherical unidentified flying object (UFO) hovers in midair, moves side to side like a ball in the "Pong" video game and then seems to dive into the ocean, in footage that was recently released online by a filmmaker who produces documentaries about UFOs. Though a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed that the US Navy did capture the footage, the spokesperson did not comment on where and when it was filmed. On May 14, Jeremy Corbell described the mysterious object on his website, writing that "the US Navy photographed and filmed 'spherical' shaped UFOs and advanced transmedium vehicles" - craft that can...

The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview. Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events. An RGA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday...

Former President Trump is reportedly working with former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on drafting a new MAGA policy agenda, modeled after Gingrich’s 1994 “Contract with America,” ahead of the 2022 midterms, Politico reports. Sources familiar with the matter told the publication that Trump had been meeting with Gingrich along with sitting down with his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) at Mar-a-Lago in the past few weeks as they focus on winning back the House and Senate in 2022.

On April 29th, President Joe Biden marked his one-hundredth day in office by proposing multi-trillion-dollar spending plans to complement his multi-trillion infrastructure plan. The plans come on the heels of the multi-trillion dollar stimulus package that he signed during his first month in office. Political observers immediately praised the Administration for its bold program and suggested the president was poised for success. Tucked in the speech, however, the president unknowingly conceded his program would fail. Early in the speech, Biden stated the economy had created more than 1,300,000 new jobs in those first 100 days. Later, however, Biden noted that...

Ethan the dog has an exciting new job! The beloved rescue dog — who was found emaciated and abandoned in the parking lot of the Kentucky Humane Society in January — is the new Chief Tasting Officer for Busch Beer's Dog Brew. "We reviewed many great candidates for Chief Tasting Officer, but we've finally found our top dog," the company wrote on Facebook as they announced their furry new hire. "Meet Ethan! He had a fur-rific resume and story that will inspire us for years to come. Ethan was found abandoned and fighting for his life in the Kentucky Humane...

The Biden administration ended an inquiry into a possible connection between the origins of the novel coronavirus and a lab in Wuhan, a CNN report published Tuesday claims. The State Department launched the previously undisclosed inquiry last fall under President Donald Trump — but the effort was shut down this spring because of “concerns about the quality of its work,” CNN reported, citing three unnamed sources. Allies of Mike Pompeo, Trump’s secretary of state, were looking into the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic may have started in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and not in nature, CNN reported. But after...

On this date in 1584, Samuel Zborowski was beheaded at Krakow’s Wawel Hill for treason and murder committed ten years before. A monument to the timeless abuse of the prosecutor’s discretion, Zborowski (English Wikipedia entry | Polish) was a powerful nobleman who got into a snit when nobody of equal stature would enter the lists with him at a tournament. Instead, his challenge was answered by a common trooper in the retinue of the castellan of Wojnice,* one Jan Teczynski. Pissed at the affront, and doubly so when his own retainer was defeated by Teczynski’s, Zborowski went right after Teczynski...

Gun murders are up 34.4 percent in the 365 days since George Floyd’s death. According to data scraped from Gun Violence Archive, in the Year One B.F. (Before Floyd) from May 25, 2019, to May 24, 2020, there were 13,024 murders committed with a firearm in the U.S. In contrast, in the Year One A.F. (After Floyd) from May 25, 2020, to May 24, 2021, there were 17,499 gun murders, an increase of 4,475 corpses. (In contrast, the NAACP reports that 3,446 blacks were lynched in all of U.S. history.) That’s a lot of blood that our new state religion,...

When a police department is dissolved, pending criminal cases remain active. Amid scattered nationwide calls to defund or dissolve individual police forces, a rural Virginia hamlet finds itself a possible harbinger of what could happen if larger jurisdictions decide to zero out their own law enforcement agencies. With its barely 1,000 people, the 2.6-square-mile town of Pound, Va. voted this month to disband its police department — and was left with no one in charge of an evidence locker containing documentation on pending criminal cases. "You have to have a chain of custody or else the evidence is no good,...

Two months after the journalist Abby Martin agreed to give the main address at Georgia Southern University's 2020 International Critical Media Literacy Conference, she was disinvited because she refused to sign a state-mandated declaration that she was not "engaged in" a "boycott of Israel" and would refrain from doing so for the duration of her contract with the university. For Martin, a harsh critic of Israel who supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, that pledge was untrue and unacceptable. It was also unconstitutional, according to a federal judge who last week allowed Martin's lawsuit against university officials to proceed....

A military officer is facing charges after allegedly urging other members of the Canadian Armed Forces to disobey their orders by not helping with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. The Department of National Defence says Officer Cadet Ladislas Kenderesi has been charged with one count of persuading another person to join in a mutiny and one count of behaving in a scandalous manner unbecoming of an officer. The charges follow a speech at an anti-lockdown rally in Toronto in December in which a man appeared in full military uniform and spoke out against what he called “killer” vaccines. The man,...

The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees apologized Tuesday for telling Israel’s Channel 12 in an interview Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip were “precise” and “sophisticated.” Gaza director of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Matthias Schmale’s remarks sparked outrage from the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group, which accused him of being a “spokesperson for the occupation army” who was exonerating Israel over the deaths of 254 Palestinians. After acknowledging the IDF’s strikes were “very precise,” Schmale told Channel 12: “I also have the impression that there is a huge sophistication in the way the...

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, on Tuesday’s “The Last Word,” said that 53% of Republicans failed “a basic mental competency test question,” which is who is the president of the United States” because they think Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Discussing new Texas election legislation, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said, “It’s very much a naked power grab. Also, if you look at the leadership in Texas, Lawrence, it very much is out of sync with the population of Texas. Texas is an incredibly diverse state, and the Republican leadership in Texas is not. It’s very sad to say, but I think...

“The constant refinancing of debt from companies of doubtful viability also leads to the perpetuation of overcapacity because a key process for economic progress, such as creative destruction, is eliminated or limited”. One of the arguments most used by central banks regarding the increase in inflation is that it is because of bottlenecks and that the recovery in demand has created tensions in the supply chain. However, the evidence shows us that most commodities have risen in tandem in an environment of a wide level of spare capacity and even overcapacity. If we analyse the utilization ratio of industrial and...

Rick Santorum's gig as a CNN contributor came to an abrupt halt on May 22. Leftists on Twitter finally found a pretext for their crusade to rid CNN of this turbulent conservative. The former senator suggested in an April 23 speech that America's founding documents didn't draw on Native American culture. The final straw was a designated apology tour of sorts on Chris Cuomo's show on May 3. Santorum explained that he didn't mean to disparage the Native Americans, but nothing was going to stop the steamroller. Shameless Cuomo interviewed his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, multiple times and proclaimed him...
