Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States' top infections disease expert, resisted a directive from President Trump to cancel a research grant for a non-profit that was linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a new book detailing the Trump administration's handling of COVID-19 pandemic. Trump issued a directive to Fauci and the National Institutes of Health in April 2020 to cut funding for a study examining how coronaviruses jump from infected bats to humans after it was reportedly linked to the lab in Wuhan, suspected of having leaked the virus. The exchange between Fauci and the White House...

New, difficult-to-detect variants of the African swine fever virus circulating in China have spread the disease to pig herds across the country this year, leading to rising incidents of mass infection on farms and stepped-up control measures to stop swine fever’s further spread into livestock supply chains. Since late last year, provinces including Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and Guangdong, as well as the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, have reported new outbreaks. Farms have reported that infected pigs typically show only mild symptoms in the early stages but have a longer incubation period, making it difficult to diagnose the disease before...

Found the Video! Please someone share this with President Trump and his people. I found the video President Trump has been mocked for even today, in that the Main Stream Media says it doesn't exist. But he was right. He saw it, we all saw it, on September 12, 2021, and then we never saw it again.

With New York City’s municipal elections moving into the rearview mirror, the bill for the city has come due, with Gotham taxpayers on the hook for more than $109 million, records from the city Campaign Finance Board show. The nine-figure payout is a result of the city’s incredibly generous system of public matching funds for those who run for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough president and City Council. Leading the pack with their hands out were the city’s Democratic mayoral hopefuls, who were offered $8 for every dollar contributed by a donor up to their first $250. That means a...

D.C. attorney H. Heather Shaner says that books and movies about the uglier parts of American history are “a revelation” for some of her Capitol attack clients. Capitol defendant Anna Morgan Lloyd told the judge that she watched "Burning Tulsa" on the History Channel. This week, Morgan-Lloyd will become the first of nearly 500 defendants arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to face sentencing. She wants a judge to know she’s changed, and her book report-style filings are meant to illustrate that growth. “I’ve lived a sheltered life and truly haven’t experienced life the...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 107BOOK V Psalms 107–150 Psalm 107 1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, 3 those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.[a] 4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. 5 They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. 6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and...

China's space station is below solar...

The first description of mare sporco, or “dirty sea,” in Italian dates back to 1729. But in the early 2000s, marine mucilage started breaking out pretty much every year, which scientists, in a 2009 paper, linked to climate change. (Huge swaths of marine mucilage have also turned up near Turkey at least once before, in 2007.) You might think of the snot as a symptom of “ocean flu,” says Antonio Pusceddu, a marine ecologist at the University of Cagliari, in Italy, who co-authored that paper: The snot’s appearance is a sign of deeper sickness in the sea, caused by climate...

A US biotech startup has created genetically modified trees that can absorb more carbon dioxide, which could make afforestation initiatives more effective. reach Fast Company Magazine. live carbon modified growth enzyme, causing faster growth of trees, which can absorb and store more carbon dioxide than common trees. In addition, the company is slowing down the rate of tree decay by enabling uptakeها copper and nickel, which act as fungicides. The fungus speeds up its decomposition, but with this modification, the tree will take time to decompose and the carbon will remain inside it longer. Trees that do not produce seeds?On...

Rep. Mo Brooks repeatedly labeled Democrats "socialists" during his campaign events. "I am a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, not the GOP surrender caucus," he said. "As President Trump can vouch, I don’t cut and run. I stand strong when the going gets tough. That is why I have been twice endorsed by President Trump for election.
