The COVID-19 coverup is slowly unravelling as more information comes to light. All the way back in 2013, Chinese virology experts discovered a SARS-like coronavirus which is currently the closest known related to the COVID-19 virus. Since then, Chinese scientists have made it difficult for researchers to learn anything about this virus sample or the origins of COVID-19, with the support of the Chinese government. In 2013, virologists discovered a “needle in a haystack” after taking samples from a distant mine where six workers had previously been ill with a SARS-like disease that bore many of the same hallmarks as...

Vaccine victim speaks out… Really really sad. I feel sorry for her, but she made the choice. https://youtu.be/PRyhxaD84gk

A longtime research partner of Dr. Ralph Baric – a Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator who’s advised on how to “make money” from pandemics – remains on the Lancet journal’s COVID-19 commission. Dr. Timothy Sheahan’s position on the Vaccines and Therapeutics committee of the Lancet task force, which recently recused EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, represents yet another conflict of interest for the Chinese Communist Party-linked commission. Sheahan has worked alongside Baric for nearly two decades, including working at his lab while in graduate school and later teaching at the same institution: the University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill...

The success of Matthew’s parenting isn’t defined by the comedic moments when he messes up, but by the countless times he keeps going. Hollywood spares no expense promoting broken families, gender fluidity, and careerism. Yet Kevin Hart’s new Netflix movie, “Fatherhood,” is different. Based on a true story, the movie depicts the life of Matthew Logelin (played by Hart), right after he loses his beloved wife. While still grieving, Matthew raises his newborn daughter, Maddy, as a single parent. Matthew believes in the importance of fatherhood with all his being, and he lives by it. His dedication to his daughter...

If you’re a Democratic First Lady, you can expect lots of puff pieces from outlets like ABC’s Good Morning America and Vogue magazine. If you’re a Republican? Not as much. GMA journalists on Tuesday gushed over Jill Biden appearing on Vogue for the first time, hailing the “inspiration.” ABC reporter Janai Norman sounded like she was a PR rep for the Democrat, fawning, “Dr. Jill Biden, the First Lady who is also a former second lady, a current professor who is sometimes called Dr. B. But according to Vogue, in informal settings she'll say to call her Jill.” Working to...

Former lawmakers have registered as foreign agents for the U.S. branch of Hikvision, the maker of cameras used to monitor Uyghur Muslims in China’s detention camps. The Chinese tech giant Hikvision, accused of helping the Chinese government’s campaign against the Uyghur minority, has turned to former members of Congress to lobby on its behalf as the United States imposes a series of measures limiting its ability to do business with American companies and investors. Former U.S. representative Anthony “Toby” Moffett (D-Conn.), who served eight years in the House until 1983 and now works at the prominent Washington firm Mercury Public...

During a recent panel discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski — who appear to have a solid understanding of politics — seemed genuinely surprised by the results of the Western Conservative Summit straw poll in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis not only topped the potential 2024 Republican presidential field but easily beat former President Trump. Quoting an attendee who had just heard DeSantis speak at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Kissimmee, Fla., Scarborough — a former Republican congressman from Florida — remarked, “But then this one person said, ‘But, my God, you should...

Thomas Webster, a decorated Marine and ex-NYPD officer with no criminal record, was arrested in February and charged with seven counts including assaulting the officer with a flag pole that was attached to his U.S. Marine Corps flag. (He did not hit the officer with the pole.) ...Had the government decided to include video of the situation several minutes before Webster’s meltdown, it would have shown, according to court filings, police officers attacking and provoking protesters outside the Capitol who were doing nothing wrong.

As violent crime continues to explode in blue cities across the country, President Joe Biden is moving forward with his plan to address the issue through "gun violence" prevention and gun control. "The President feels a lot, a great deal of the crime we're seeing is a result of gun violence. You can expect he'll speak to that and his commitment to continuing to address gun violence and gun safety in the country," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently said about Biden's gun control push. But newly retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig argues the country has a criminal...

Mircea Popescu'a aggressive brand of unapologetic, uncompromising Bitcoin evangelism made his influence enduring despite his documented instances of sexism and bigotry. ================================================================================== Where to begin with Mircea Popescu? A Romanian by residency, provocateur by occupation and the "world's greatest erotica writer" by proclamation, Popescu leaves behind a legacy strewn across so many blogs and forums it was difficult even during his life to separate the man from the myth. Let's start then, with what we think we know. Popescu, rumored to be one of the largest individual bitcoin holders – he has claimed to hold 1 million coins, though more...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a news conference Monday to discuss adverse reactions related to the COVID vaccines — giving individuals who have been “repeatedly ignored” by the medical community a platform to share their stories. The group that spoke was put together by Ken Ruettgers, a former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman, whose wife suffered an adverse reaction after receiving a COVID vaccine. Ruettgers, who now lives in Oregon, started a website to bring awareness of COVID vaccine reactions to the medical community.

The liberal media hate when big corporations step outside of the woke narrative and support congressional GOP members who thought the 2020 elections were shady. Axios’s hit piece was headlined, “Toyota leads companies in election-objector donations.” The outlet took the time to attack companies for supporting political candidates it didn’t like. Automotive company Toyota reportedly led the pack with $55,000 in donations to 37 "GOP objectors." For context on how minuscule that is, Toyota’s entire estimated net worth is $236 billion, meaning Toyota’s political giving only accounts for a measly 0.00002 percent of its net worth. Axios reminded readers in...

One of the little pleasures of June, at least for Supreme Court watchers, is a game I call “Supreme Court Bingo.” Through it, we can get some idea of who is writing key opinions at the end of the court’s term, and get a sneak peek at the future of American law. To understand how this works, one must understand the rhythms of the esteemed body. The high court hears a set number of cases each month; after oral argument, the justices meet in their conference room, alone, to discuss and debate the cases. They vote, and then the senior...

A federal judge in Manhattan tossed an indictment against a Bronx shooting suspect because of a lack of racial diversity in the White Plains grand jury pool — the first such ruling since city cases were moved to the suburban county amid the pandemic. Judge Analisa Torres sided with defendant William Scott, who had argued that black and Hispanic people were underrepresented in the grand jury pool that returned an indictment against him in June of last year. Scott was charged with possessing ammunition in connection to a shooting in the Bronx, but was charged in the Southern District of...

VIDEO The big news yesterday is that after months and months of intense investigation, there will be NO indictment of President Donald Trump by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr.. Therefore Rachel Maddow who has been acting like her life depends on Trump being indicted had to feign joy over charges possibly being brought against the Trump organization (NOT Trump) for a few officials possibly not paying taxes on fringe benefits. Yeah, all that INTENSE investigation and that is all they came up with. Oh, and NOTHING against Donald Trump himself. Perhaps Maddow knows if she acknowledges...

The Christopher Columbus memorial in Bethlehem, PA’s Rose Garden is getting a new home. City council voted 6-1 June 15 to approve an agreement to lease the memorial to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Allentown, which will place the monument at the Holy Savior Cemetery at 2575 Linden St. in Bethlehem. Councilperson Bryan Callahan voted against the move. “I voted against the move because my Italian-American father-in-law would have rolled over in his grave,” said Callahan in an interview. The move was recommended by a task force appointed by democrat Mayor Robert Donchez to recommend “what to do with the...

Republicans are hesitant to endorse Biden's plan — and for good reason.Congress is expected to take action on President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan any day now, but Republicans are hesitant to endorse the expensive plan, which is filled with Democrat agenda goals and progressive talking points.Biden originally said last week he would not sign the infrastructure plan that garnered GOP support unless the legislative body also passed a reconciliation bill littered with leftist agenda items. When Republicans promised to jeopardize Biden’s plan by pulling out of the “bipartisan” part of the deal in response, Biden walked back his statement and...
