In a trove of newly leaked emails, one seems to show that Dr. Fauci was in a panic that the NIH, where he was deeply involved, might have ties to the coronavirus leak in China revealed. Here’s the first email from Fauci to Hugh Auchincloss at NIH on February 1st, 2020: There’s definitely a sense of urgency and alarm in Fauci’s email. The response from Auchincloss is key, where he says “The paper you sent me says the experiments were performed before the gain of function pause but have since been reviewed and approved by NIH. Not sure what this...

Kari Lake, who was the Phoenix area’s top-rated news anchor before she resigned earlier this year over the establishment media’s liberal bias, has announced she is running for governor of Arizona as a Republican.

Below is an article from CNBC. Just the first few sentences make no sense. Here is a company that exists in name only and is worth millions. And it's part of a "reverse merger"....WTH is a reverse merger and it gets even more confusing from there. It sounds like money laundering, and connected guys getting richer and scratching each others back. It sounds crooked as a dogs hind leg. I need some freepers who can read between the lines and explain what is going on. I really want a better understanding of this article. E-Waste, a shell company linked to...

Branching in the fracture of a h-BN sample. (J. Lou/Rice University) ======================================================================= A two-dimensional material with similar physical properties to graphene has now turned out to blow graphene out of the water in terms of toughness. The material is called hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and it's so resistant to cracking that scientists are gobsmacked. The finding flies in the face of the fundamental description of fracture mechanics that scientists have been using to predict and define toughness since the 1920s. "What we observed in this material is remarkable," said materials scientist Jun Lou of Rice University. "Nobody expected to see...

Former President Donald Trump has discontinued his short-lived blog. "It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have [been] and are working on,” Trump adviser Jason Miller said in confirming the decision to scrap "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump." The news was first reported by CNBC. The move comes as Trump is set to return to the campaign trail in an effort to help Republicans win control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterms as he considers whether to mount a third presidential campaign. "He’s pretty consistently said that he’ll make a decision after the...

A 10-year-old Miami boy was shot after his father took him on a faux drive-by shooting with a paintball gun — and a frightened homeowner returned fire with real bullets, according to authorities. Michael Williams, 26, allegedly gave in to his son’s pleas late Sunday to take him on a paintball “drive-by shooting,” where police said the boy fired off the unlethal rounds into a crowd gathered in the front yard of an Opa-locka home, the Miami Herald reported.

Britain on Tuesday reported zero daily coronavirus-related deaths for the first time since the pandemic began last year even as scientists continued to urge caution over a complete easing of lockdown restrictions. There were 3,165 new COVID-19 cases recorded in the latest 24-hour period, according to official government data released after what was a longer Bank Holiday weekend in the UK, when the number of deaths and cases can be lower due to reporting lags. On May 10, England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all reported no deaths, but four were logged in Wales. Tuesday’s figures take the total number of...

MADISON, WI - Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has selected the team he hopes will guide him to a second term in office. On Wednesday, the governor’s campaign organization announced its top leadership, which will be led by Campaign Manager Cassi Fenili, who served as the deputy campaign manager in Evers successful 2018 run. The University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate most recently served as an advisor to the Democratic Party in its Save the Veto initiative, which strove to avoid state Republicans from winning a supermajority in the state legislature during the 2020 election. “Over the past two years, Governor Evers has...

What if Skynet didn't rebel just because? What if it saw humans killing their own kids because it was inconvenient and realized we would kill it if we knew? Book Review: Ctrl Alt REVOLT! by Nick Cole

LANSING, Wis. (WMTV) - Millions of people in Michigan could see a big hike in their electric bill this summertime afternoons. With the summer months heating up, one of the largest utility companies in the state plans to increase drastically the cost of electricity, starting Tuesday. From then until September 30, Consumers Energy will charge its customers a 50 percent higher rate between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays. According to the company’s website, it has more than 6.5 million customers in Michigan. When announcing the rate spike, Consumers’ spokesperson Brian Wheeler explained the move is intended...

White House infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has a dream candidate if Saturday Night Live decides to portray him in a sketch when it returns this weekend. Fauci was appearing on CNN’s New Day when he was pressed as to who he’d like to be the faux Fauci. He hedged at first, saying he didn’t want anyone, but when Alisyn Camerota pressed him, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases faced a difficult choice. To ease his path, Camerota suggested Ben Stiller or Brad Pitt. “Oh, Brad Pitt, of course,” Fauci told Camerota.

Israel’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday it had found the small number of heart inflammation cases observed mainly in young men who received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in Israel were likely linked to their vaccination. Pfizer has said it has not observed a higher rate of the condition, known as myocarditis, than would normally be expected in the general population. In Israel, 275 cases of myocarditis were reported between December 2020 and May 2021 among more than 5 million vaccinated people, the ministry said in disclosing the findings of a study it commissioned to examine the matter. Most patients who experienced...

MADISON, WI - Sure, police K-9 units get a ton of (well-deserved) credit for their law enforcement prowess, but when it comes to ending a long car chase, not much is going to top a herd of cattle. The Barron Co. Sheriff’s Department thanked its “Bovine Unit” for stopping the pursuit, which lasted approximately 13 miles and stretched from Barron to Cumberland. Deputies were chasing a Chevrolet Cavalier, the department explained on its Facebook page, when the driver came upon a group of cows standing in front of him. “That little Cavalier that could during the chase ran out of...

In September, I published a book called The Stakes. It was billed as a “current events” or election-year title. The election is behind us and the candidate I recommended is no longer president. But the analysis that led me to the recommendation is very much still “current.” To recap briefly (but read the whole thing!), the book explains how every prominent and powerful American institution, including the federal government, has been taken over by a hostile elite who use their vast powers to attack, despoil, and insult about half the nation. In the sixth chapter (excerpted here), I outline what...

Anheuser-Busch is teaming up with the White House to offer free beer in order to encourage more American adults to get vaccinated for the coronavirus. Anheuser-Busch announced Wednesday that if President Joe Biden’s goal of getting 70 percent of Americans vaccinated is realized, they will buy up to 200,000 registered adults a beer.

A recent poll finds that Joe Biden is an ineffective and weak President. In one timed for Memorial Day, voters by a margin of 43%-32% said that Biden was a weaker chief compared to recent presidents. Worse, it found that most feel Biden is “less aggressive” with foreign leaders in pushing American interests first. He acts far more on behalf of China and Russia than he does for America. The same poll finds he's done nothing to improve race relations but rather made them worse. And in another timed for Biden’s trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, today for ceremonies on the...

<p>Dr Fauci’s emails have been released via a Freedom of Information Act request, and there is some pretty interesting stuff in them, particularly one email where a researcher who funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology thanks Fauci for publicly dismissing the lab leak theory early on during the pandemic.</p>

MESOPOTAMIA—It was going to be the first-ever Pride Month — a celebration of everyone doing everything they feel like doing in their hearts all the time — when it suddenly started raining and didn’t stop for forty days as God tried to wash all the wickedness off the earth. “Ugh. Well, this ruins everything,” said one man, who had looked forward to the celebration but was instead climbing to the top of a building to get away from the ever-rising water. This was going to be a celebration unlike anything the world had ever seen, and everyone was looking forward...

The Fulton County Sheriff's office is investigating why an alarm went off over the weekend at a warehouse that stores election equipment, the latest bizarre twist in an ongoing lawsuit seeking to prove thrice-counted absentee ballots were marred by fraud. But Fulton officials say the actual facility rooms that are holding ballots from November's presidential election is and has been secure. The investigation into what happened should be wrapping up soon — including a look at whether two off-duty officers hired as private security by plaintiffs in the suit were trespassing by entering the building. A planned meeting to discuss...
