@TexasLindsay_ GAME OVER. Fauci’s Former Boss: “We think vaccine research resulted in the pandemic – that vaccine ­research was the proximate cause” —Robert Kadlec, Former Asst. Sec. of HHS Covid cover-up: how the science was silenced Anthony Fauci delib­erately downplayed ­suspicions from scientists that Covid-19 came from a lab to protect his reputation and deflect from risky research his agency had funded, his boss says.

PHOENIX (AP) — Ten months after Donald Trump lost his 2020 reelection bid in Arizona, supporters hired by Arizona Senate Republicans were preparing to deliver the results of an unprecedented partisan election review that is the climax of a bizarre quest to find evidence supporting the former president’s false claim that he lost because of fraud. Nearly every allegation made by the review team so far has crumbled under scrutiny.

I predicted days ago the United States Supreme Court would not issue decisions on the election lawsuits based on the law or Constitution, but based on how the justices in the middle felt.

But you know that,” Trump said Thursday when asked whether he would vacate the building, allowing a peaceful transition of power in January. But Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that “a...

The illegal effort to destroy the 2016 Trump campaign by Hillary Clinton campaign’s use of funds to create, disseminate among court media, and then salt among high Obama administration officials, a fabricated, opposition smear dossier failed. So has the second special prosecutor phase of the coup to abort the Trump presidency failed. There are many elements to what in time likely will become recognized as the greatest scandal in American political history, marking the first occasion in which U.S. government bureaucrats sought to overturn an election and to remove a sitting U.S. president. /snip to end/ In sum, the Left...
