The Washington Post has published an opinion piece from Janet Yellen and Samantha Power that says that to save democracy the U.S must fight global corruption. It had to be a satire because they work for a man who has been knowingly corrupt for a long time and they obviously don’t care. To uphold democracy, the U.S. must fight global corruption Opinion ● Opinion by Janet L. Yellen and Samantha Power Around the world, in countries as varied as Russia, Venezuela and China, the wealthy and the well-connected launder their assets through complex networks of shell companies or transactions involving...

VIDEOYouTube constantly lectures us about spreading supposed misinformation. However, isn't the manipulation of video transcripts a YUUUUUUUUUGE example of spreading misinformation? This video presents evidence that YouTube, in the case of Marcus Arbery saying the "taboo" words "all lives matter," has used its transcripts (reflected in its closed captions) to hide that inconvenient phrase.And if YouTube has been manipulating its video transcripts in this case how often has it manipulated the transcripts of other videos in the past? Inquiring minds at the Senate Commerce Committee would like to know especially next year when it changes leadership.

And the Washington Post doesn't raise an eyebrow. With a deadpan face, the Washington Post informs us: Biden calls for sweeping new push to expose and punish financial corruption The administration said it would work with Congress to bring more scrutiny to trust companies, lawyers and other financial gatekeepers, seek to identify owners “hiding behind opaque” corporations and target those involved in real estate transactions used to hide or launder money. Notice how Biden says absolutely nothing about corruption among government officials? Or their families. And the WaPo raises not an eyebrow. The purported newspaper of record in the seat...

Please pray I find peace in my life. The last six weeks have been filled with so much sadness. End of October my husband was hospitalized with complications of diabetes. He is getting better but it takes time. And many trips to wound care. Then my oldest child with multiple health issues got covid. He seems better but it seems to be lingering. Then mid November my mother was hospitalized with sepsis. I made the ride everyday to go see her. She was moved to hospice and passed away on Thanksgiving. I am grateful I was by her side. Three...

VIDEO: Four years ago, we explained what Hamas, the terrorist organization that has controlled Gaza since 2006, had been up to since their rise to power. Now, we're revisiting the subject... and not much has changed. Hamas uses its power to benefit the people of Gaza, right? Wrong. Instead of using its power to benefit the people of Gaza, Hamas spends the majority of its resources on terrorist activities. During Operation Guardian of the Walls (May 10–21, 2021), Hamas fired over 4,300 rockets at Israel. Hamas' rocket launch sites, 'Metro' terror tunnel network, and other terror infrastructure cost millions of...

Nancy Pelosi is still keeping several dozens (hundreds ?) of her political prisoners behind bars, most in isolation for 23 hours per day, none allowed basic sanitation, barbers or cleaning, clean clothes and representation. Are they allowed mail? Christmas cards? If mailed Christmas cards, how are the cards or letters addressed, and how do we know if those cards are even delivered?

K-12 public schools throughout the U.S. are facing staff shortages so severe that school days are being canceled. Seattle, Boulder, and Portland, Oregon are just a few examples of districts without adequate staff to maintain daily operations following Veteran’s Day. Claiming exhaustion, hundreds of teachers in these cities opted to take the day off in order to have a four-day weekend. Denver Public Schools’ situation is even more dire. The district moved to remote learning for three days in mid-November, canceled school on November 19 as a mental health day, and took a full week off for Thanksgiving. The school...

The Freedom From Religion Foundation honored Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California three years ago with what it calls its "Emperor Has No Clothes Award," named after the story by Hans Christian Andersen. "In the story, two weavers con a gullible emperor by selling him expensive cloth they claim is so exquisite only the very wise can see it," said the foundation. "The emperor parades before his cowed subjects in his imaginary finery, until an astute child calls out: 'But the emperor has no clothes!' "Religion, the Foundation contends, has a similar imaginary base," it explained. "The award is reserved...

Steve Kirsch of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund permanently was banned from Twitter because it suggests that the “vaccines” being administered for the plandemic™ are causing people to develop prion disease. Before the previous administration introduced the shots as part of Operation Warp Speed, there were almost no cases of prion disease. However, that is rapidly changing. (My uncle died of it, so I am not unfamiliar) “There is no doubt the mRNA vaccines are causing prion diseases,” Kirsch writes. “People didn’t have these diseases before the shot and suddenly they develop them after the shot. There is no other...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health has exposed criminal levels of medical establishment corruption. The Amazon and New York Times best seller provides a glimpse into the war on health and civil liberties waged by parasitic government bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci. It also dives into the unimaginable influence pharmaceutical companies have in directing public health policies. One excerpt from the book highlights the diabolical smear campaign waged against ivermectin. As I’ve noted, ivermectin has shown tremendous efficacy against COVID-19 in places like Uttar...

A big part of the "Great Reset" is its orchestrated campaign to condition people into believing they have no natural rights separate from and paramount to the mandates of government. Most neoliberal nations no longer talk about the global ideological struggle once pitting "free" and "controlled" states against each other. Why? Because that distinction makes little sense when Australia is hunting down citizens for fleeing its quarantine concentration camps and Finland is putting Christianity on trial. I'm trying to remember...who won the Cold War again? Instead of admitting that they are waging war against free speech, Western governments claim that...

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Dec. 7. A caucus of the Republican members of Congress was called for to-night, in the Hall of Representatives. The purpose of the call was said to be to procure a "general consultation." But although the call was published in the Republican of yesterday and to-day, it did not seem to have attracted general attention, for on reaching the Hall I found but two persons present. After waiting half an hour, ten more came, and the Caucus organized and finished its session with only twelve members present, among whom were Mr. Speaker GROW, THAD. STEVENS, BINGHAM and ASHLEY,...

Pfizer said results from an "initial laboratory study" showed that their COVID-19 vaccine neutralized the omicron variant of the coronavirus after three doses, or the full two-dose regimen plus a booster shot

For months, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice has tried every trick in the law books to conceal from Americans a massive trove of video evidence that captured all the activity at the Capitol complex on January 6. Federal judges have played along, approving hundreds of protective orders to keep video clips—particularly footage recorded by the Capitol Police’s extensive closed-circuit television system—out of the public eye. Time, however, is running out for the government. Despite numerous discovery delays, Garland’s prosecutors are gradually turning over video evidence to defense attorneys as they prepare for trial. All surveillance video from the Capitol’s security...

...Benjamin Netanyahu said today before the vote on the bill to remove content from the network: "I want to tell you how absurd and dangerous this thing is." Netanyahu added from his seat as he knocked on the table: "Are you talking about democracy? This is a terrible danger."

In case you haven’t guessed, my title is another way of characterizing the hoax perpetrated by actor and malefactor Jussie Smollett, currently on trial for falsely claiming he was the victim of a 2019 “hate crime.” It’s a way of framing the frame that would be quite common were the races reversed. Of course, a white guy today doesn’t have to falsely claim anything to be demonized in media. He just has to be guilty of DWW — Defending While White, à la poor Kyle Rittenhouse or Mark McCloskey. As for Smollett, he pulls off a jump-the-shark version of a...

Scientists say they have identified a “stealth” version of Omicron that cannot be distinguished from other variants using the PCR tests that public health officials deploy to gain a quick picture of its spread around the world. The finding came as the number of cases of the original Omicron variant detected in the UK rose by 101 to 437 in a single day and Scotland announced a return to working from home. The stealth variant has many mutations in common with standard Omicron, but it lacks a particular genetic change that allows lab-based PCR tests to be used as a...

The left wants liberty for pregnant women but tells the rest of us to pound salt. On Monday, lame-duck New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced, "Omicron is here, and it looks very transmissible." So, de Blasio, ignoring scientific evidence that current COVID-19 vaccines will not stop the variant from spreading, decreed all private-sector workers in businesses of all sizes must be vaccinated by Dec. 27. The mandate also applies to children as young as 5, who must take the vaccine to participate in school activities such as band or be taken to a restaurant or movie theater. There...
