Infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci has addressed attacks made on his career and reputation by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who last month released the book “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.” Speaking to Yahoo News, the director of the NIAID said, “it really is a shame that he is attacking me in my career,” when asked about RFK’s book not being “a flattering portrait of” his career. “I think if you look at my career there are not a lot of people that would be attacking my career,...

During an interview aired on Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” President Joe Biden stated that the government has ordered millions of the Pfizer coronavirus antiviral pills, but “I hope we don’t get there. Because if people get the shots, they get their two shots and a booster, they’re not going to be in a position where they’re going to need such a pill.”

Masters of Deceit by J. Edgar Hoover

During an interview aired on Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” President Joe Biden stated that it will take “weeks to a month” to get the Pfizer coronavirus pill to hospitals, but “it won’t be enough to get to all the hospitals.” Host David Muir asked, “Do you have any idea how quickly the American people will actually see these pills? How soon we’re going to be able to get them to hospitals that are already seeing patients?”

The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is topping sales charts. To expose Fauci’s cruel experiments with children, Kennedy cites the BBC’s Guinea Pig Kids. This documentary is again under attack, and that in itself invites a review.Since 1984, Dr. Anthony Fauci has headed the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health. In 1992, Fauci’s NIAID provided funding for the Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) in New York as an outpatient clinic for HIV-positive children. The city’s...

The other day, in an interview with NBC News, Hillary Clinton went public with a warning --or was it a dog whistle to Democrats and the left? It might be an instance of Hillary’s mouth running ahead of her brain, but don’t count on it. Hillary is a coldly calculating woman --and that might be one of her better qualities. Hillary suggested that if Trump or “someone of his ilk” is elected president in 2024, then American democracy is kaput. Foolishness? Knowing the conceits and delusions that infect her intended audience, her suggestion might not seem ludicrous. Hillary’s side listens...

Beginning in 2022, women’s faces will circulate through the nation’s currency on quarters - something long overdue, according to Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat who has been working on this legislation since 2017. “I wanted to make sure that women would be honored, and their images and names be lifted up on our coins. I mean, it’s outrageous that we haven’t,” Lee said. “Hopefully the public really delves into who these women were, because these women have made such a contribution to our country in so many ways.” Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) Dr. Sally...

Rep. Madison Cawthorn and his wife are divorcing after less than a year of marriage, with the North Carolina Republican citing his job in Congress as part of the reason for the split. "When my wife Christina and I were engaged, I was not a member of Congress," Cawthorn, 26, said in a statement posted by his spokesman on Wednesday. "I felt called to serve and we both agreed that I should run. Our victory was unprecedented. But overnight, our lives changed," the first-term lawmaker said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to Democratic lawmakers on Monday detailing “a full program of events” to remember the January 6 riot in the Capitol. What happened that day isn’t really in dispute. A couple of hundred people breached the Capitol and behaved like idiots. But if what occurred that day was an “insurrection,” it will surely go down in history as the most comical and futile attempt to overthrow a government in history — more ludicrous than the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. This begs the question: Why do the Democrats feel they have to portray the...

And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused. And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer...

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court will hear challenges to President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandates

President Biden said he plans to run for reelection in 2024, assuming he's still in good health. “Yes,” he said when asked if he plans to run for reelection during an interview ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir that aired on Wednesday. “But look, I’m a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If I’m in the health I’m in now, if I’m in good health, then in fact, I would run again,” he added.

Appearing on Wednesday morning's New Day, CNN political commentator Cupp said that the prospect of Donald Trump holding a press conference on January 6 at Mar-a-Lago makes her "physically ill, nauseous, and afraid."Responding to co-host John Berman's question as to whether congressional Republicans would continue to support Trump, Cupp said: "I have long given up on the sort of the pivot that Republicans will see Jesus, and understand just how dangerous and awful these years of rhetoric and also policy have been...I have long since lost the idea that they'll find religion."Get the rest of the story and view the...
