VIDEOJake Tapper castigated President Trump over "Who Counts the Votes" during his January 16 "State Of The Union" show. Guess what? Joe Biden also angrily declared that what matters isn't so much who gets to vote as "WHO COUNTS THE VOTES." Thus far no comment from Tapper on Biden's declaration.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla appeared in a video with Yahoo Finance's Anjalee Khemlani to discuss covid vaccines, boosters, and Omicron. During the discussion Bourla observed that "we know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any." He went on to recommend that people take more doses. This nonsensical recommendation is made even more absurd by a leaked Pentagon document indicating that the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as treatments for covid were known to government health officials in May of 2020. Khemlani asked Bourla for his reaction to this. "Yeah, we all knew the efficacy...

Things that make you go hmmmmm.Yet they continue to push, nay, demand that young men get a vaccine known to be only moderately effective in stopping transmission or contraction of the virus. It’s continued to be forcibly imposed on young people and athletes who have very little chance of death or even serious complications from the infection itself.Australia, which requires anyone arriving from abroad to be vaccinated originally granted Novak Djokovic a visa to play in the Australian Open based on an exemption – having acquired natural immunity from having contracted COVID twice. Then the Australian government determined to make...

I am ashamed of the country of my birth. Australia has lost its soul. Even a gennuinely conservative federal government has betrayed what Australia used to stand for. Be warned America. This is the future when freedom dies.

There is one thing that every self-respecting liberal-progressive in the country believes without question, and that is, they are much more intelligent than those knuckle-dragging conservatives. Liberals just KNOW they are smarter and have been gifted with above-average intellectual abilities. To them, all of them, it's just the way it is.

There is no way to recover national political standing once a politician becomes a popular butt of humor, a punchline in a degrading joke. Ask Dan Quayle, who has disappeared from the scene so completely that nobody has even gotten him on the record about the vice presidency of Kamala Harris. My guess is that he is enjoying bitter laughter. Last Thursday’s interview with Craig Melvin of Democrat-friendly NBC sealed her fate. The Zen koan-like statement, "It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day," closes the case, a brilliantly meaningless...

In France the "Pass Sanitaire (Health Pass)" is giving way to the new stricter "Pass Vaccinale (Vaccine Pass)". The new rules mean one must be "fully vaccinated" or recently recovered to be allowed into public venues in France with the testing option of the old pass gone. Final legislative action in France's National Assembly and Senate underway this weekend to make the Vaccine Pass law. The government's goal was to have the pass in place today (Saturday January 15th). A large crowd in Paris today but others protesting across the country including Pau in southwestern France. It looks to be...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said that just about everyone would eventually get omicron, but even so Democrats do not seem wary of the federal government’s response to COVIDm (Based on a new Rasmussen Reports poll conducted with the Heartland Institute).CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announced that the currently available vaccines do not prevent omicron transmission or symptomatic illness from the virus. Despite this, most Democrats support vaccine mandates, and many want punitive measures against those who don’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.In a new national telephone and online survey from Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute, 48% of voters support President Biden’s plan...

If there’s one thing the modern left pushes more than any other narrative, it’s the dishonest notion that it represents the most diverse array of Americans. It crows about electing more Black and minority leaders… claiming that it is the force behind letting people see a face they recognize and can aspire to be like. And, by hook or crook, convince many voters that they best represent their hopes and prosperity for the future.Well, I have bad news for the Democrat Party — this day, January 15, 2022, shows which party is the true party of diversity. That’s the GOP....

We see a constant effort from liberal groups to take down conservative hosts and conservative media. It seems there’s a push periodically to do in Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and others. There’s a current push to even demonize Joe Rogan who isn’t exactly conservative but suffers from three things that the liberal media doesn’t like – common sense, honest approach, and more viewers than them.As we reported a couple of days ago, there was even a push to get Spotify to shut Rogan down, for “misinformation,” but Spotify appears not to be caving. We also saw Dan Bongino suspended from...

After Gold Coast Exotic Motor Cars was the victim of a "smash and grab" robbery, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot visited co-owner Joe Perino to chastise him for not taking a correct approach to the rising crime wave in the city. "As I having been saying for a long time now, it's the failure of businesses to take proper precautions that is the big factor in the surging crime rate," Lightfoot insisted. "Look at all the mistakes that Perino's business has made. First, there's the name of the business. Including the word 'exotic' invites criminals' attention. Second, offering expensive cars and...

I have not heard if the 'president' will deliver a State of the Union speech this month Will he? (Not that I will watch or listen)

Conservative radio host Mark Levin praised a “fantastic” MRC Business study that revealed liberal billionaire George Soros’ massive spending on a new global university network. Media Research Center President Brent Bozell joined Levin on his radio show to dig into the details. Levin told Bozell that the study by MRC Assistant Editor Joseph Vazquez — “America’s Most Notorious Billionaire Leaves His Mark on the World from a $2.3 Billion Education Behemoth to Racial Politics” — was “a great service” to “the nation.” Levin lauded the study’s findings, which exposed Soros’ scheme in creating a massive global university network dedicated to...

Gab’s Response to the Washington Post JANUARY 13, 2022 This afternoon I received an email from the Washington Post. I’m going to publish it here and share my response in full.

VIDEOMatt Lauer joins such other former television luminaries as Dan Rather and Charlie Rose for being given the Stalin airbrush out of network history as you can see in this Today Show 70th Anniversary where he was laughably absent.

Inflation is burning out of control. While home price growth has been off the cherts (as Jean-Ralphio would say), commercial real estate has jumped incredibly at 22% YoY. The Bloomberg charting function hasn’t updated for the Q4 NCREIF report yet so I had to manually write-in 22% on the following chart. To quote Dean Martin, “Ain’t that a kick in the head.” Commercial real estate returns are now higher than house price growth. So, what will happen IF The Fed follows through with its monetary stimulus reduction? JPMC’s Jaime Dimon warns that The Fed could hike 7 times in 2022...

Can we chat?Jimmy Carter invented the Misery Index – the combined unemployment rate plus inflation rate – in order to flog his 1976 opponent, Jerry Ford, about the head. As most often happens with Democrats, his own policies led to even more misery and he ended up beating Ford’s misery score by a full 2 percentage points, topping the misery index at 22%.Now cometh Joe Biden with his bag of magic beans. So far his official score is 10.9%. At the time he took the reins, so to speak, the misery index was under 7% and unemployment was on the...

What’s with this sudden “Ten Year Challenge” business? And when will it be applied to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (also AOC, in between her busy dating schedule), i.e., in ten years can they come up with a coherent sentence? I’m reminded of the old Will Rogers saying, “It’s no trouble at all being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.” The good news is that TWiP is not having any supply chain issues.

While many on the right are calling the Supreme Court's ruling that President Biden's attempt to compel businesses to force employees to get vaccinated is unconstitutional a victory for personal freedom, the White House doesn't agree. Presidential Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained that "the President is going to channel his inner Andrew Jackson and ignore the Supreme Court's ruling. As he sees it, the Supreme Court has its opinion and he has his own. He has no obligation to support its ruling, especially where the nation's health is at stake. He has ordered businesses to proceed with the implementation of...

A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the controversial absentee ballot drop boxes widely used in the 2020 election are not allowed under state law; a decision that could dramatically impact voting in the swing state’s midterm elections — not to mention the 2024 presidential election — if the judge’s ruling stands.As reported by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren, after hearing three hours of arguments, determined state law allows absentee ballots to be returned in person or by mail — but not in a ballot drop box.🚨BREAKING: A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the absentee...
