Dr. Anthony Fauci rushed to China’s defense in two separate interviews — claiming the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan laboratory is “far out” and that Americans should refrain from “pointing fingers” toward the Chinese Communist Party, despite earlier claims he was keeping an “open mind” about the virus’ origin. Fauci repeated his claim that he was keeping “an open mind” that the virus may have been man-made, before throwing cold water on the possibility later in the same CNN interview. “The idea, I think, is quite far-fetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill...

The dust has settled and the evidence is in: The 1960s Great Society and War on Poverty programs of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) have been a colossal and giant failure. One might make the argument that social welfare programs are the moral path for a modern government. They cannot, however, make the argument that these are in any way effective at alleviating poverty. In fact, there is evidence that such aggressive programs might make generational poverty worse.

The Department of Justice has announced that people who deliberately spread the coronavirus may face federal terrorism charges for “purposeful exposure and infection.” In a memo to law enforcement agency chiefs and US attorneys, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said that “because coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of a ‘biological agent’… such acts potentially could implicate the Nation’s terrorism-related statutes.”Rosen wrote that “we have seen an unfortunate array of criminal activity related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

While there is no official indication yet of why the driver may have done this, a police spokesman reported by local newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau states the act was deliberate, but stopping short of calling it an attack.

Dinesh D’Souza makes a good point in the video you’re about to watch. Obama never does speak about entrepreneurship and business in a positive light. He’s always demagogues the hell out of free markets, as if all financial successes were the result of “greed” and the “rich” not paying their fair share. (Like government bureaucrats are in any position to judge what a “fair share” of taxable income even is.) Here’s an idea: How about Obama talk about the “greed” of government politicians who have an insatiable appetite for confiscating more and more money that they never earned. But I...
