Six Feet Of Blood Clots Removed From High School Football Player’s Legs Days Before Season Starts [VIDEO]

“His calves were swelled up four inches larger, in circumference, than they are now. So, he was very uncomfortable.”

By Gregory Hoyt, Red Voice, September 6, 2022

WAUSEON, OH – A high school football player has had his athletic career cut short after doctors found and removed approximately six feet of blood clots from the teenager’s legs. The cause of the blood clots is not yet known, but the teen now requires a regimen of blood thinners to ensure the issue doesn’t crop up again.

Kaden Clymer is a junior at a high school located in Wauseon and was looking forward to the start of the football season at school. However, playing the sport is no longer in the cards after an anomaly was discovered this past August.

Kaden’s mother, Maurine Clymer explained the bizarre medical issues that seemingly came out of nowhere on August 1st, telling a local news crew, “His dad took him to the emergency room after he was having severe pain in his back and legs.”

Tyson Rodriguez, one of Kaden’s teammates, remarked on when the issues first began fleshing out in the teen, saying, “I was a bit confused because I didn’t really know what was happening. He just told me that he wasn’t feeling good.”

On the evening prior to the high school football team had their first practice in the fall, Kaden was rushed to Toledo Children’s Hospital, with his mother explaining, “His calves were swelled up four inches larger, in circumference, than they are now. So, he was very uncomfortable.”

Looking back on his time at the hospital, Kaden stated, “I just wanted to go home, honestly. I didn’t really care what they did to me. I just wanted to go home.”

The teen and his family would eventually get the news of blood clots being the culprit behind the severe leg swelling. When Kaden learned of the underlying issue, he said he felt “really sad. I was crying and upset because I’ve played football my whole life, and I just wanted to play with my friends.”

An astonishing six feet of blood clots were removed from the teen’s legs, and has since been prescribed blood thinners that have ended his football career. After spending nine days in the hospital, the teenager returned to school while barely being able to walk.

UPDATE: Lyin’ Biden Ordered the Illegal Mar-A-Lago Raid

UPDATE: In a September 16th, 2022 The Republic Brief article titled Judge Dismisses DOJ Request To Review Classified Files, Giving Trump Two Major Victories

President Donald J. Trump has won again over the highly politicized FBI, as his legal request is bringing him vindication upon vindication by a Florida judge who appointed the promised special master to handle documents taken from his home and then dismissed the Department of Justice’s request to start reviewing classified files.

Smacking down the DOJ, instead, federal judge Aileen Cannon sided with Trump granting his request for court intervention and then appointing Trump’s choice, Senior District Judge Raymond Dearie as a ‘special master’ to review records seized by the FBI, which Trump claims were designated and de-classified when he was President.

Cannon, in her ruling, is also urging Dearie to complete his review by Nov. 30 — more than a month longer than DOJ urged.

Read the full article.


The lying Biden White House has repeatedly denied ordering the FBI’s illegal raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, court documents reveal otherwise. Lying Biden is bald faced to the American people. The illegitimate rogue regime shits on us and our Constitution as a matter of policy.

Judge’s order exposes FBI sloppiness, excessive evidence collection at Trump home

Court also acknowledges Joe Biden helped initiate criminal probe of his chief Republican rival, alarming many.

By John Solomon, Just The News, September 6, 2022:

​A criminal probe “requested by the incumbent president.” The seizure of clothing, medical records, tax records and 500 pages of attorney-client privileged documents not covered by a warrant. The sharing of privileged documents with investigators.

More than simply appointing a special master to referee an evidence dispute, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon exposed this week a Justice Department search of former President Donald Trump’s home that was initiated by his chief Democrat rival, that was carried out so sloppily that it violated the “least intrusive” mandate in the FBI agent’s manual, and that failed to keep legally-protected materials from falling into the hands of investigators.

The problems uncovered so far placed Trump “at risk of suffering injury from the Government’s retention and potential use of privileged materials,” Cannon wrote, adding that a future indictment of the ex-president based on the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago “would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude.”

In other words, Cannon was not convinced by the Justice Department’s argument that its honor system — known as “filter” or “taint” teams — was adequate to protect the 45th president’s constitutional rights. “The Court takes a different view on this record,” she wrote.

Cannon’s Labor Day ruling is simply an opening salvo. Whether Trump’s claims of executive privilege, attorney-client privilege or an unconstitutional, overly broad search prevail will be decided some time in the future.

But one thing is clear. The FBI and its overseers at the Biden Justice Department bumbled on what was certain to be one of the most scrutinized search warrant executions in modern American history. And that’s according to one of the bureau’s own former and highly respected executives.

“The more that’s revealed, the more it looks like a kind of sloppy government overreach is in play,” former Assistant FBI Director of Intelligence Kevin Brock told Just the News. “It seems more than a bit ‘loose’ to those of us who have executed numerous search warrants.”

Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor and avowed Democrat, said the judge’s ruling cited the sort of FBI failures that in the past would have enraged liberals who have gone silent about such concerns in the Trump era.

“Many faculty on the left continue the curious objections to a court seeking review of the FBI or not accepting its overbroad claims of authority,” Turley wrote Tuesday. “It is a bizarre shift that we have seen in other Trump investigations where liberals suddenly express shock that a court would override sweeping national security claims or seek to review the Justice Department’s review of material for privilege.

Turley noted that there “appears to have been mistakes by the taint team and that privileged material (as well as an assortment of private material from medical records to tax records) were seized.”

To appreciate the concerns of experts like Brock and Turley, one need only scan the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide, or DIOG, the documents most FBI agents regard as their on-the-job bible.

The investigative manual requires FBI agents to use the “least intrusive” means of gathering evidence, especially when it comes to “sensitive investigative matters” like a probe of a former president where privileges and First Amendment are front and center.

That means framing a search in the narrowest possible terms to avoid communications protected by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. “Rigorous obedience to constitutional principles ensures that individually and institutionally our adherence to constitutional guarantees is more important than the outcome of any single interview, search for evidence, or investigation,” the manual states.

OPENING DAY: Highly Anticipated ‘My Son Hunter’ Movie Launch Rattles the Left

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PRODUCER OF BOMBSHELL MOVIE ‘MY SON HUNTER’


In an email Breitbart News stated,

Today, the highly anticipated theatrical film My Son Hunter has opened to rave reviews and leftist panic, as the movie’s trailer has crested to over 4.5 million cross-platform views and climbing.

My Son Hunter—Breitbart’s first foray into film distribution—is NOW available to stream and download at MySonHunter.com.

This is the bombshell story about Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” that the establishment media and its Big Tech censors did not want the American public to see during the 2020 election–and the left’s reception to My Son Hunter shows that they still don’t want this story seen. It’s not hard to see why.

My Son Hunter puts the lens squarely on Hunter Biden, his corrupt business dealings, his relationship with his father, and a lifestyle that would make rock stars jealous. But through the haze of a crack pipe and above the din of the parties and the outbursts, somewhere lies the truth.

A poll conducted after the election found that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for him if they had known about the “Laptop from Hell.” Even now, two years later, 63 percent of likely voters still believe the laptop story is important, according to a recent poll.

Now everyone can see the story they didn’t want you to see.

 

My Son Hunter director Robert Davi said his movie is Hunter’s “laptop exploded onto film.” In fact, Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer said My Son Hunter is a “shorthand version” of his own 300-page bestselling book chronicling the Biden family corruption. “This film is information lifted from the pages of my book and turned into the flesh,” said Schweizer.

Donald Trump Jr. called My Son Hunter an “incredible example” of conservatives “looking for alternate venues to spend their hard-earned money.

Trump described My Son Hunter as “part of the tip of the spear” of a new momentum among conservatives who are busy “building their own” and “taking on the power structures that have been so heavily dominated by the left.”

“I think we’re creating an entire new economy,” Trump said during a panel discussion on Truth Social about My Son Hunter. “This [film] is going to be part of the tip of the spear of that. I want it to be successful because I want people to understand just how important this is. We’re fighting for our values. We’re fighting for our country, and we’re just fighting for the future that we want to leave our children.”

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow sees Breitbart’s distribution of My Son Hunter as embracing the legacy of the company’s founder. “I’m very proud—and I know everyone at Breitbart is—to be extending Andrew Breitbart’s legacy. He, of course, famously said, ‘Politics is downstream of the culture.’ It is the culture that is really the driving force in American life,” Marlow said.

YouTube podcaster Tim Pool echoed these sentiments. “Building culture is the most important thing we can do, and that’s why I think the movie you guys are doing is so important,” Pool said. “I’m excited for this.”

My Son Hunter is already racking up rave reviews (and a standing ovation at its Hollywood screening), and it’s already triggering leftists.

Politico calls My Son Hunter “the most ambitious Hunter Biden project to date” with “well-researched” scenes “taken from both [Bidens’] memoirs and reports derived from [Hunter’s laptop] hard drive.”

The Epoch Times heralds My Son Hunter as “director Robert Davi’s brilliant Biden satire” and describes actor Laurence Fox’s portrayal of Hunter Biden as “a career-defining performance.”

My Son Hunter is extremely well-directed, written and acted, with some crazy, funny moments and high drama. It takes a complex subject with many details and boils everything down to a digestible, absorbing story,” writes MOVIEGUIDE.

“Not your mother’s conservative movie,” says the Daily Mail.

My Son Hunter being dangerous to the Biden Presidency and America’s reputation on the world stage is only possible because the Left are – secretively – embarrassed by the cold truth exposed by Breitbart,” writes The Spectator Australia.

My Son Hunter’s end credits remind us of that sorry state of affairs. We’re treated to a ‘greatest hits’ assembly of reporters suppressing a story they feared might swing the election. It’s the perfect way to sum up the film’s purpose, to tell a story every American needed to hear,” writes Hollywood in Toto’s Christian Toto.

Meanwhile, My Son Hunter has the left in a lather.

The far-left Daily Beast denounced the film as being popular with “Kremlin-controlled propagandists.” The left-wing Daily Kos howled that My Son Hunter is “a soft-porn conspiracy flick for weird conservative incels.” And The Guardian called My Son Hunter a “fiction-laced retelling of the Hunter Biden laptop nothingburger” for “fringe lunatics.”

Well, now it’s time for you “lunatics” to help us wage the culture war.

Stream or download My Son Hunter right NOW at MySonHunter.com.

My Son Hunter stars Laurence Fox (Victoria, Inspector Lewis, The Professor and the Madman) as Hunter Biden; Gina Carano (The Mandalorian, Dead Pool, Heist) as a Secret Service Agent; and John James (Dynasty) as Joe Biden.

Massachusetts School District Settles Civil Rights Lawsuit with Football Coach Fired for Objecting to Critical Race Theory in Daughter’s Class

Washington, D.C. – Judicial Watch announced today that its client David Flynn, who was removed from his position as head football coach after exercising his right as a parent-citizen to raise concerns about critical race theory and Black Lives Matter propaganda in his daughter’s seventh-grade history class, settled his civil rights lawsuit against his former employers at Dedham Public Schools. As part of the settlement, the Superintendent of Dedham Public Schools, Michael Welch, acknowledged “the important and valid issues” raised by Flynn and specific changes in school policies because of Flynn’s complaint, including banning teachers from promoting Black Lives Matter to students online.

The Superintendent’s acknowledgment is the result of a February 2021 lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the superintendent, high school principal, and high school athletic director for retaliating against Flynn for exercising his First Amendment rights (Flynn v. Forrest et al. (No. 21-cv-10256)).

The superintendent wrote in the letter that Flynn’s concerns were valid and that the school district is amicable to the settlement:

Dear Dave,

I hope you and your family are well. I am writing this letter to acknowledge the important and valid issues you raised regarding the Dedham Public Schools and the subsequent lawsuit you filed in federal court. I am pleased that we are able to amicably settle this matter after the recently filed appeal of the court’s decision.

First and foremost, I want to acknowledge and validate the concerns you initially raised regarding your daughter’s experiences at Dedham Middle School. You had every right to inquire about these issues, and you followed the appropriate steps in attempting to learn more. You correctly pointed out that the 7th grade social studies curriculum had significantly changed and parents were not informed of these changes. In probing this matter further, you discovered that the district’s website did not accurately reflect the new curriculum content, and parents were unable to understand what was being taught. Your legitimate questions prompted additional conversations at the School Committee level that ultimately led to the establishment of a Curriculum Advisory Committee that now brings together parents, community members, and district educators to broadly review and more thoroughly communicate curriculum changes and concerns. Curriculum updates are a necessary and important part of the work of school districts, and effectively communicating these improvements is a critical component of this process.

Your initial inquiry triggered a larger internal conversation about the district’s oversight in the teaching of these new curriculum units. More specifically, the sequencing of the curriculum’s identity unit and the virtual use of a Black Lives Matter emoji t-shirt by a teacher sparked a series of intense conversations about teacher autonomy and the importance of balanced messaging and viewpoints in the classroom. As you pointed out, positive intentions can often have unintended negative impacts on students. Ultimately, I directed staff to remove these t-shirt emojis and instructed them to not wear these in the classroom in the future.

Finally, I understand that after you raised these concerns at the classroom level, you left that initial conversation expecting to hear directly from the building principal. It appears this was unclear within the school and you did not hear back in a timely manner. I am sorry for this breakdown. Effective two-way dialogue among parents and school staff is the foundation of mutual trust. While we pride ourselves on this connection, in this particular instance this fueled frustration and identified room for improvement.

I regret that these initial justifiable concerns ultimately led to where we are today. As you have indicated, I appreciate your recognition of the opportunity to have improved the trajectory of this sequence. With this settlement, I hope we are able to put any divisions behind us and begin the important work of healing through better conversations and listening.

I recognize the school district’s opportunity to improve based upon the issues you have identified, and I thank you for raising them. As educators, I believe we can always learn from our experiences. Thank you for your many years of dedicated commitment to the development of student-athletes in Dedham.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Welch
Superintendent

“This a remarkable victory for Coach Flynn, as his federal civil rights lawsuit resulted in the Dedham School District admitting that he was absolutely right to be concerned about the district’s introducing a new, controversial CRT-style curriculum without parental notice or involvement,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And, Coach Flynn also appreciates that the teachers will no longer be able to use virtual learning to push Black Lives Matter symbols. It shouldn’t have taken a federal civil rights lawsuit for the school district to do the right thing. We hope other school officials take note they must treat parental curriculum concerns with respect and avoid radical indoctrination of children.”

“The past two years have been difficult for me and my family. I thank my family, friends, and everyone else who reached out for their continued support,” said Coach Flynn. “With Judicial Watch’s help, I can move on from this challenging situation knowing that by raising my concerns through the appropriate channels I made a difference for the students and families of Dedham Public Schools. I hope other parents can learn from this and not back down from fighting for what is best for their families.”

Judicial Watch lawsuits and FOIA requests on critical race theory and other leftist extremism are extensive:

  • Earlier this month, Judicial Watch sued on behalf of a Minneapolis taxpayer over a teachers’ contract that provides discriminatory job protections to certain racial minorities. The lawsuit was filed against the superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools, the Minneapolis Public Schools, and the Minneapolis Board of Education for violating the Equal Protection Guarantee of the Minnesota Constitution.
  • Judicial Watch in July 2022 sued the U.S. Department of Defense for records related to the United States Naval Academy implementing critical race theory in the training of naval recruits.
  • Records produced in April 2022 from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) show the government agency responsible for regulating credit unions required “inclusion and unconscious bias training” for the agency’s employees and contractors and offered advice on how to recognize and address alleged “microaggressions” in the workplace.
  • Records produced in February 2022 from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) included a PowerPoint presentation titled “Race and gender based microaggressions” that was used for training at the organization.
  • Two sets of records obtained by Judicial Watch in November 2021 related to the teaching of critical race theory in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), Maryland’s largest school system, included a training course with information about a book titled “Antiracist Baby” that introduces the youngest readers to “the concept and power of antiracism,” and says it’s the “perfect gift” for “ages baby to age 3.”
  • Records from Loudoun County, VA, obtained in October 2021 revealed a coordinated effort to advance critical race theory initiatives in Loudoun County public schools despite widespread public opposition.
  • A training document provided to Judicial Watch in October 2021 by a whistleblower in the Westerly School District of Rhode Island, details how its schools are using teachers to push critical race theory in classrooms. The training course was assembled by the left-leaning Highlander Institute and cites quotes from Bettina Love, from whom the Biden administration distanced itself publicly after her statements equating “whiteness” to oppression.
  • Records produced in June 2021 by Wellesley Public Schools in Massachusetts confirmed the use of “affinity spaces” that divide students and staff based on race as a priority and objective of the school district’s “diversity, equity and inclusion” plan. The school district also admitted that between September 1, 2020, and May 17, 2021, it created “five distinct” segregated spaces.
  • Heavily redacted records obtained by Judicial watch in May 2021from Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland included documents related to their $454,000 “Anti-racist system audit” and critical race theory classes. Students were taught that the phrase “Make America Great Again” was an example of “covert white supremacy.”

U.S. Senate Candidate Krystle Matthews (D-SC): Treat White People ‘Like Sh*t’

*CLICK HERE TO TWEET THE VIDEO*


Project Veritas Action released a new video today exposing South Carolina’s Democrat U.S. Senate candidate, Krystle Matthews, in which she admits to her bias against white voters and encourages gang members to enter politics.

Here are some of the highlights from today’s video:

  • Krystle Matthews, South Carolina Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate: “Let me tell you one thing. You ought to know who you’re dealing with. You gotta treat them [white people] like sh*t. I mean, that’s the only way they’ll respect you. I keep them right here — like under my thumbs. That’s where I keep – like, you have to. Otherwise, they get out of control — like kids.”
  • Matthews: “I know other people are tiptoeing around them [white people]. And I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s some white sh*t. I ain’t doing that.’ They be like, ‘Well, I’m just gonna say some white sh*t.’ That was my problem with Bernie [Sanders], because he was talking to an all-black crowd, and he was afraid to say black sh*t. I said, ‘If I’m talking to an all-black crowd, I’m gonna say black sh*t. Now if you don’t like it, you get your ass up and leave.’”
  • Matthews: “We need somebody who understands street gangs that we can clean up and put in a f**king suit. [Somebody] that knows like, again, we [are] all working towards the same goal, and we all know what the play is…Almost like a secret society – exclusive membership.”
  • Matthews: “Where’s the gangstas? Where the street n**gas at? Like, where they at? I’m telling you them n**gas were foolish, but you can’t out-swindle them. They might not know all the college words, but you can’t hustle them – can’t f**k with their money. They see the game a mile away. Where they at? We need to put some of them in a suit and tie.”

You can watch the full video HERE.

What will Matthews say in response to this latest video?

Will she attack Project Veritas Action again? Will she play down her remarks again? Or will she go on to apologize to South Carolinians?

The America Project Will Lay Out Evidence of ‘Ghost Voting’ Fraud in Florida

The America Project a 501c4 non-profit focused on improving election integrity, border security, and ending medical tyranny will host an educational summit for American Citizens and Candidates Forum for Election Integrity on September 10th, in West Palm Beach, Florida. 


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla./PRNewswire/ — With less than 60-days before the November midterm elections, elections officials and candidates will join citizen watchdogs this Saturday September 10th at the Palm Beach Airport Hilton at 150 Australian Ave in West Palm Beach, FL 33406, to identify and discuss election irregularities that The America Project (TAP) has identified in the state of Florida surrounding the recent August 23rd statewide primary.

The America Project will lay out evidence of extensive “ghost voting” by “voters” currently on Florida voting rolls that do not exist, abuses within the “vote-by-mail” programs administered by various Florida Supervisors of Elections in multiple counties and abuses of the voter registration program administered by the Florida State Division of Motors Vehicles.

The America Project, the citizen-based Defend Florida and The People’s Audit organization, among others, are expected to present documented evidence of voter fraud to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody. “If Governor DeSantis fails to take real action to correct the multiple abuses we have identified and can document within Florida’s election system, he does so at his own peril,” said Joe Flynn, CEO of TAP.

The event will include the CEO of the America Project Patrick Byrne, award winning journalist Lara Logan, and Tom Homan the former Director of ICE under President Trump, Secretary of State candidates Mark Finchem of Arizona, Rachell Hamm of California, Tina Peters of Colorado, will also be present.

“Election integrity is the thing you care about before you care about anything else in politics. Anyone who does not acknowledge the recent flood of election fraud evidence right here in the state of Florida in the recent primaries, that should make any reasonable person deeply concerned about election integrity in America, must be living under a rock. Given the DHS-CISA report released in June 2022, all of our fact-based accusations about election equipment and many other corruptions of the franchise have been vindicated,” explained Joe Flynn, CEO of The America Project.

Dozens of citizen-led groups that have spent the past two years investigating and identifying election irregularities or instances of voter fraud are also expected to be on hand.

Florida is one of the only states in America that has created, and funded, an Office of Election Integrity, which is why The America Project decided to host this summit in the Sunshine State,” concluded Flynn. The America Project has announced its intention to release evidence of voter fraud, anomalies and irregularities from all fifty states, in addition to Florida, at Saturday’s forum.

ABOUT THE AMERICA PROJECT

The America Project is run by a fearless, battle-tested team of entrepreneurs, special operations veterans, technical experts, and professionals with expertise in law, policy, finance, software development, analytics, cybersecurity, organizational psychology, communications, and digital marketing where our primary goal is to unite coalitions across the country.

World’s Most Lethal Virus the Spanish Flu, Revived by Fauci’s Mad ‘Scientists’

National Institutes of Health Scientists Have Recreated World’s Deadliest Flu Virus


STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Scientists in the U.S. and Canada have resurrected the Spanish flu virus through reverse genetics. Not surprisingly, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are involved
  • The scientists appear frustrated by the fact that their reverse engineered Spanish flu virus — even at the highest doses tested — was not lethal enough to kill the macaque species selected for the experiment. They argue we need to make a more dangerous version of the Spanish flu to be able to make better vaccines for it. This despite the fact that, until they resurrected it, it no longer existed in nature
  • The argument that we need to create dangerous viruses “just in case” Nature comes up with something similar, so we can create vaccines for said viruses in advance, simply doesn’t hold water. This is science gone mad, and it must be stopped
  • Evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being the product of gain-of-function research, and a number of U.S. institutions need to come clean about their work, including the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), the University of North Carolina (UNC), the University of California at Davis (UCD), the NIH and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
  • All of these agencies and institutions have conducted and/or collaborated on research that may be able to solve the mystery of where SARS-CoV-2 came from. But instead of transparently sharing their data, they’ve merely declared that they’ve “not been involved in any experiments that could have resulted in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.” Blanket denials are no longer enough. They must produce the data for independent review and analysis

Evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being the product of gain-of-function (GoF) research. Indeed, attorney Tom Renz will soon release the results of a major legal investigation, which he claims will demonstrate — beyond a reasonable doubt — that SARS-CoV-2 was created as part of a GoF project.1

Whether the outbreak was accidental, intentional or the result of negligence, the end result is the same — devastation of health, commerce, finance and civil life worldwide for years on end.

Now imagine what might happen if something like the Spanish flu got out — or worse, a turbo-charged, genetically engineered version of it. Incomprehensible as it may seem to the average person, scientists in the U.S. and Canada have resurrected this devastatingly lethal virus and, not surprisingly, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are involved.

Mad Scientists Are Testing Recreated Spanish Flu on Monkeys

As reported by Renz, August 19, 2022:2

“… this is so absurd that I am just starting with the reference document because I am concerned no one will believe it. Here it is: ‘Spanish Flu GoF.’3 Yes, that is right, Fauci and crew are now actively performing gain-of-function (GoF) work and infecting primates with the Spanish Flu … Here is a quote from the document:

‘… Influenza virus A/South Carolina/1918 (H1N1) was generated by reverse genetics and handled in biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) containment at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML).

Sequences of the 1918 influenza viral segments were based on data reported under GenBank accession numbers DQ208309, DQ208310, DQ208311, AF117241, AY744935, AF250356, AY130766, and AF333238.

1918 influenza virus was cultured using Madin-Darby canine kidney … cells. MDCK cells were grown in minimum essential medium … supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum … and 1 L-glutamine …

A passage 2 (P2) virus stock was prepared using MEM supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) … 1 L-glutamine, and 1 mg/mL N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK)-treated trypsin …

This stock was used for animal inoculation. The mouse 50% lethal dose (MLD50) for this stock was determined previously to be 103.2 PFU; this value was confirmed prior to the use of the stock for macaque infection.’

I frankly do not care to debate the nuance of whether the recreation of generally extinct virus ‘generated by reverse genetics’ using pieces and parts of other animals qualifies as GoF; what I care about is that we have recreated the Spanish Flu and are experimenting with it on other animals.”

Spanish Flu ‘Not Lethal Enough’

As noted by Renz, the scientists appear frustrated by the fact that their reverse engineered Spanish flu virus — even at the highest doses tested — was not lethal enough to kill the two macaque species selected for the experiment.

Macaques were therefore deemed “not ideal for the development and testing of novel pandemic influenza-specific vaccines and therapies,” necessitating “other physiologically relevant nonhuman primate models.” Renz continues:4

“… given the result of the previous coronavirus GoF, can ANYONE possibly argue GoF work on the Spanish Flu is a good idea? Even the simple recreation of the disease demonstrates an incredible lack of respect for the disaster created by the coronavirus GoF.

So you may be asking, what moron could possibly be oblivious enough to support GoF work on the Spanish Flu while the world is still dealing with the nightmare that is COVID? The answer should not be surprising … NIH and NIAID are involved.

Apparently Fauci does not mind what he did with funding the creation of COVID and is at it again. You might also note the vaccine development crew’s involvement. A foundational point in this article is that the newly recreated Spanish Flu is not dangerous enough. Here is a pull-quote:

‘However, 1918 influenza was uniformly nonlethal in these two species, demonstrating that this isolate is insufficiently pathogenic in rhesus and Mauritian cynomolgus macaques to support testing novel prophylactic influenza approaches where protection from severe disease combined with a lethal outcome is desired as a highly stringent indication of vaccine efficacy.’

This means that these people are arguing that we need to make a more dangerous version of the Spanish Flu so they can make ‘better’ vaccines for it … despite the fact that until they recreated it, it likely no longer existed in nature.”

As noted by Renz, elected officials really need to answer the question, “Why is this kind of research allowed to continue on your watch?” Why are we reverse engineering the most lethal viruses the world has ever seen — after they’ve already been eradicated?

The argument that we need to create dangerous viruses “just in case” Nature comes up with something similar, so we can create vaccines for said viruses in advance, simply doesn’t hold water. Stop creating these monstrosities, and we won’t need the vaccines! This is science gone mad, and it must be stopped.

Besides, what are the chances that a virus would emerge naturally that just so happens to perfectly match the virus we now have a vaccine against? The entire premise is irrational from start to finish. It’s biowarfare research and nothing else

The Intentional Cover-Up of SARS-CoV-2’s Origin

Fauci, former NIH chief Dr. Francis Collins, EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak and other members of the scientific community have spent the last two and a half years actively stifling debate about the genesis of SARS-CoV-2.

And, coincidentally, most of them have clear-cut connections to bat coronavirus GoF research and/or the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which appears to be the lab from which the virus somehow escaped.

So, it appears those who insist SARS-CoV-2 is of natural origin, despite all the evidence to the contrary, are doing so because they don’t want risky virological research to be blamed for the COVID pandemic. That would “blow their cover” and raise questions about the sanity of funding such research.

Some may be so enamored with their chosen careers, they cannot imagine doing anything other than tinkering with pathogens. For them, pulled funding is a threat to their livelihood. But for others, the underlying incentive may be more nefarious. Like I already said, there’s really no reason for this kind of research other than the creation of weapons of mass destruction.

Whatever incentive any given player may have had, what’s clear is that Fauci, Collins, Daszak and many others intentionally undermined efforts to get to the bottom of where SARS-CoV-2 came from.

Corrupted Science

Attesting to this corruption of science is Jeffrey Sachs, Ph.D., professor of economy at Columbia University, a senior United Nations adviser and chair of The Lancet COVID-19 Commission, convened in June 2020.

Sachs originally assigned Daszak to lead and organize the COVID-19 Commission’s task force to investigate the virus’s genesis (one of 11 task forces under the COVID Commission). Sachs ended up dismissing Daszak from the task force in June 2021, after he realized just how serious Daszak’s conflicts of interest were,5 and that Daszak was lying to him.6

Eventually, he realized Daszak wasn’t the only rotten apple in the bunch. Other members of The Lancet Commission’s COVID Origins task force were also working against their mandate to investigate the pandemic’s origin. The final straw came when Sachs sacked Daszak and several task force members suddenly attacked him for being “antiscience.”

Shortly thereafter, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request brought previously hidden NIH documents to light, and Sachs realized that those who were attacking him also had undisclosed ties that made their ability to get to the truth doubtful at best. At that point, in September 2021, he disbanded the whole task force.

Lack of Transparency Breeds Mistrust

In mid-May 2022, Sachs published a frank opinion piece in the journal PNAS,7 together with Neil Harrison, calling for a truly independent inquiry into the origin of SARS-CoV-2.

In their article, Sachs and Harrison argued that while transparency on the part of Chinese authorities would be “enormously helpful,” much may be gleaned from information found in U.S.-based research institutions that were working with Wuhan-based institutions, including the WIV. Yet such material has not been disclosed for independent analysis. Here’s an excerpt:8

“This lack of an independent and transparent US-based scientific investigation has had four highly adverse consequences. First, public trust in the ability of US scientific institutions to govern the activities of US science in a responsible manner has been shaken.

Second, the investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has become politicized within the US Congress; as a result, the inception of an independent and transparent investigation has been obstructed and delayed.

Third, US researchers with deep knowledge of the possibilities of a laboratory-associated incident have not been enabled to share their expertise effectively. Fourth, the failure of NIH, one of the main funders of the US–China collaborative work, to facilitate the investigation into the origins of SARS-CoV-2 has fostered distrust regarding US biodefense research activities.

Much of the work on SARS-like CoVs performed in Wuhan was part of an active and highly collaborative US–China scientific research program funded by the US Government (NIH, Defense Threat Reduction Agency [DTRA], and US Agency for International Development [USAID]), coordinated by researchers at EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), but involving researchers at several other US institutions.

For this reason, it is important that US institutions be transparent about any knowledge of the detailed activities that were underway in Wuhan and in the United States. The evidence may also suggest that research institutions in other countries were involved, and those too should be asked to submit relevant information …”

Sachs and Harrison go on to name a number of U.S. institutions that need to come clean about their work, including the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), the University of North Carolina (UNC), the University of California at Davis (UCD), the NIH, NIAID and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

All of these agencies and institutions have conducted and/or collaborated on research that may be able to solve the mystery, but instead of transparently sharing their data, they’ve merely declared that they’ve “not been involved in any experiments that could have resulted in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.”

Blanket Denials Are Not Good Enough

As noted by Sachs, before we can believe such claims, we need to be able to confirm their veracity, and that requires independent analysis of all the data.

“Blanket denials from the NIH are no longer good enough. Although the NIH and USAID have strenuously resisted full disclosure of the details of the EHA-WIV-UNC work program, several documents leaked to the public or released through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) have raised concerns,” Sachs and Harrison wrote.9

“These research proposals make clear that the EHA-WIV-UNC collaboration was involved in the collection of a large number of so-far undocumented SARS-like viruses and was engaged in their manipulation within biological safety level (BSL)-2 and BSL-3 laboratory facilities, raising concerns that an airborne virus might have infected a laboratory worker.

A variety of scenarios have been discussed by others, including an infection that involved a natural virus collected from the field or perhaps an engineered virus manipulated in one of the laboratories.”

Suspicious ‘Coincidences’ Abound

Sachs and Harrison go on to discuss the problem of an unusual furin cleavage site (FCS) in SARS-CoV-2 that makes it more transmissible and pathogenic than related viruses.

While it’s not yet known how this feature came to be within SARS-CoV-2, whether by natural evolution or intentional insertion, “We do know that the insertion of such FCS sequences into SARS-like viruses was a specific goal of work proposed by the EHA-WIV-UNC partnership within a 2018 grant proposal (‘DEFUSE’) that was submitted to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),” Sachs wrote.

That particular DARPA proposal was never funded, but as noted by Sachs, “we do not know whether some of the proposed work was subsequently carried out in 2018 or 2019, perhaps using another source of funding.”

“Information now held by the research team headed by EHA, as well as the communications of that research team with US research funding agencies, including NIH, USAID, DARPA, DTRA, and the Department of Homeland Security, could shed considerable light on the experiments undertaken by the US-funded research team and on the possible relationship, if any, between those experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2,” Sachs and Harrison wrote.10

“We do not assert that laboratory manipulation was involved in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, although it is apparent that it could have been. However, we do assert that there has been no independent and transparent scientific scrutiny to date of the full scope of the US-based evidence.”

In an August 2, 2022, Current Affairs interview,11 Sachs again reiterated that he believes the NIH and allied scientists colluded to impede The Lancet Commission’s investigation, for the simple reason that the virus was the result of U.S. research.

Indeed, aside from what Sachs brought up in his PNAS article, there are patents spanning decades to suggest that’s true (see “Patents Prove SARS-CoV-2 Is a Manufactured Virus“).

Sachs also opened up about his concerns and misgivings in an August 20, 2022, interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (video above). He admits believing in the zoonotic spillover theory early on, only to, over time, come to change his mind as he realized he was being lied to, over and over again.

Today, he believes the lab-leak theory is the most likely explanation for the pandemic — and that the U.S. government, the NIH, the NIAID and the rest are suppressing the truth for the simple reason that they’re responsible for its creation, even if only in part.

Final Thoughts

To circle back to where we started, is it really prudent to reverse engineer the Spanish flu virus, and further tinker with it to make it even more lethal — all in the name of vaccine development?

Think back over the past few years. Mull over the deaths — an estimated 18 million from COVID-19 alone12 — the suicides (deaths of despair), the lost businesses, lost education years, the loss of freedoms and Constitutional rights, the COVID jab injuries, and the massive wealth transfer that has occurred.

All of that may have been because of this kind of mad science. Do we really want to repeat it in the future, but with a far more lethal pathogen? Most sane persons would say no. It’s time for legislators to take definitive steps to ensure mankind is not wiped out by scientific hubris.

Biden Declares War On 74 Million MAGA Americans

 “President Biden tonight gave the speech of a dictator, in the style of a dictator, in the visual of a dictator, using the words of a dictator.” — Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller


While issuing a blanket condemnation of rank-and-file voters who oppose his neo-Marxist agenda, and while bathed in a dark red backdrop that smacked of Soviet imagery, and while using uniformed Marines as symbols of a 21st century Praetorian Guard that will protect him from dissidents, and while speaking with clenched fists and hate in his heart, President Joe Biden in a nationally televised speech leveled a vitriolic, no-holds-barred attack on the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump.

In spewing a fusillade of political hatred at them, Biden repeatedly referred to the 74 million as “MAGA Republicans.” A more accurate description would be MAGA Americans—like me, millions of people who voted for Trump aren’t members of either political party.

MAGA Americans now find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of their president’s increasingly totalitarian regime

The legions of MAGA Americans who now find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of their president’s increasingly totalitarian regime include:

  • Millions of naturalized U.S. citizens who experienced the brutal yoke of communist oppression as citizens of the USSR, Communist China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and the former Soviet satellites of Eastern Europe.
  • Parents demonized as “domestic terrorists” for speaking out against public schools that teach white children to hate themselves, black children to hate white society, and children of all races to hate America.
  • Voters assailed as hate-filled xenophobes for believing that America’s border laws should be enforced.
  • Blue collar workers whose jobs were off-shored to China by a succession of traitorous U.S. presidents—41, 42, 43 and 44—each of whom subordinated the interests of ordinary working families to the interests of giant multi-national corporations that use high-dollar campaign donations to bribe leaders of both political parties.

Also included among the targeted are MAGA Americans from every walk of life:

  • World War II veterans, veterans of the War on Terror and veterans of every war in-between
  • Generals, Admirals and Enlisted Military Personnel
  • Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Air Force Pararescue Jumpers, Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers and United States Marines
  • Police Officers, Fire Fighters and First Responders
  • Doctors, Dentists, Physician Assistants, Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
  • Attorneys, Paralegals and Legal Assistants
  • Commercial Aviation Pilots and Military Fighter Pilots
  • Scientists, Engineers, Inventors and Entrepreneurs
  • Graduates of College, High School and Home School
  • Christians, Jews, Muslims and Non-Believers
  • Americans representing every race, creed, national origin and sexual orientation
  • Self-Made Millionaires and Small Business Owners
  • Corporate Executives and Factory Workers
  • Union Members and Non-Union Employees
  • Plumbers, Electricians, Roofers, House Painters and Bick Masons
  • Farmers and Agricultural Workers
  • Power Linemen, Bulldozer Drivers and Crane Operators
  • Highway Maintenance Workers and Heavy Vehicle Operators
  • Fast-Food Cashiers and Counter Workers
  • Cooks, Waiters, Waitresses and Dishwashers
  • Truck Drivers and Automobile Mechanics
  • Dock Workers, Fishing Boat Operators and High-Rise Window Washers
  • Uber Drivers and Parking Lot Attendants
  • Maids, Housekeepers and Personal Care Assistants
  • Garbage Collectors and Sewage Clean-Up Workers

In addition to voting for Trump, MAGA Americans have something else in common—an unwavering opposition to the Democratic Party’s ongoing attempt to turn America away from two-party constitutional governance, and toward single-party authoritarian rule.


“The Communist Manifesto”

In 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, and Utopian communism was a movement of the working class. In November of that year, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels prepared a written party platform for a workmen’s association. First published in 1848, their manuscript was titled “The Communist Manifesto,” a revolutionary document that proposed the following steps as necessary to achieve a communist society:

  • Abolish all private property rights
  • Abolish all inheritance rights
  • Abolish individual rights in favor of group rights
  • Subordinate the family to the state
  • Create an openly legalized system of free love
  • Abolish all religions and erode traditional morality
  • Establish an excessively punitive income tax
  • Nationalize all means of communication
  • Gain control of schools, universities & teachers unions
  • Indoctrinate school children with socialist propaganda
  • Abolish countries & nationalities (open borders)

45 Communist Goals to Destroy America from Within

In 1963, Rep. Albert Herlong (D-FL) entered into the Congressional Record 45 objectives socialists must achieve in order to gradually overthrow America from within. The list is from “The Naked Communist,” a national best-seller written by former FBI Special Agent W. Cleon Skousen. As you read the following partial list of those objectives, ask yourself which political party immediately comes to mind:

  • Infiltrate and gain control of labor unions and big business.
  • Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations.
  • Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing and policy-making positions.
  • Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
  • Eliminate obscenity laws by calling them a violation of free speech.
  • Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
  • Eliminate prayer and any phase of religious expression in schools on the grounds that it violates separation of church and state.
  • Discredit the U.S. Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned and out of date.
  • Infiltrate and take control of one or both political parties in the U.S.

As shown by its close alignment with The 45 Communist Goals to Destroy America from Within, the party once led by fervent anti-communists—Adlai Stevenson, JFK and Hubert Humphrey—has transitioned to the dark side, to the side of the hammer and sickle.

In Protecting The KGB, Gorbachev Laid the Foundation for Putin’s Gangster-State

The notorious KGB chairman Yuri Andropov recruited Mikhail Gorbachev, cultivated him, and placed him in the Kremlin leadership to ultimately take power. Once he led the Soviet Communist Party, Andropov’s recruit protected and rewarded the Soviet secret police by making it off-limits to any truth-telling, accountability, or reform.

Gorbachev has died, but the KGB that he nurtured and protected lives on under an ungrateful Vladimir Putin.

Until the day he passed away at age 91, Gorbachev got an international pass for saving the core of Soviet power: the ever-watching secret police and its global spy and active measures networks.

Gorbachev didn’t stand up for the KGB’s victims. While he opened Soviet society, he protected the tormentors. He shielded the KGB from the “openness” of glasnost, keeping it unaccountable for decades of industrial-scale crimes. He insulated it from the reorganization of perestroika. Gorbachev even preserved the KGB’s cult-like devotion to the Bolshevik Cheka. To this day, Russian intelligence and security officers still call themselves chekisti or chekists.

He kept the KGB’s entire archives secret to save the chekists’ reputation and prestige.

The internal repression and informant files? Gorbachev kept them secret and the networks operational. The international subversion files? All secret. The Soviet terror network files? Secret. Indeed, as the USSR was collapsing, Gorbachev promoted one of the architects of the Soviet terror network, Yevgeny Primakov, to run KGB foreign intelligence.

He knew the big names in Western business, politics, journalism, and culture who worked for the KGB or the Soviet Communist Party. He could have known all the names had he chosen too. He could have exposed them all. But he protected them. And they heap praise on him today.

Gorbachev could have un-done the KGB’s ghoulish presence with the stroke of a pen. But he didn’t do it.

When, under perestroika, Gorbachev authorized the creation of joint ventures with foreign companies, he required a KGB officer to be assigned as a vice president of each enterprise. This undermined enduring economic reforms, subverted western companies, and built the foundation for the KGB gangster-state that would beget Putin.

Gorbachev made sure that glasnost and perestroika would keep the KGB on top. He never permitted lustration, the screening out of KGB assets from holding posts of public trust, the way the post-Communist Czechs and East Germans were doing. He did not permit the KGB’s victims to see their files. He protected every last KGB informant.

He never truly sought to become part of the civilized world by ripping out the KGB’s peerless global human intelligence networks, subversive political warfare penetrations and operations, and putting it all out on the table so such cancer could never spread again.

Indeed, Gorbachev gave the KGB so much power that the chekists, under KGB Chairman Vladimir Kryuchkov, led the coup to overthrow him in August 1991.

And when Gorbachev returned to the Kremlin, in a meeting with the presidents of the union republics of the USSR, he did nothing to punish the secret police. Instead, it was Boris Yeltsin who gleefully forced a reluctant Gorbachev to sign a decree dividing the KGB into separate parts. Gorbachev’s handwriting on the decree, never meant for public view, is strained, as if under duress.

Even so, the splitting up of the Soviet KGB kept the hated old chekist apparatus in place. Nothing was torn out by the roots. No perpetrators were investigated, let alone put on trial. Gorbachev held nobody accountable – and his fans in the West didn’t hold him accountable, either.

The KGB’s First Chief Directorate that did the foreign spying was simply renamed Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The chekisti Second Chief Directorate responsible for “internal security” changed its name to what is now called the Federal Security Service, the FSB.

The world today is confronting the results of Gorbachev’s strategy to preserve the chekist legacy and the KGB itself, to protect all perpetrators and deny justice to its victims, and to merge KGB officers into the rising gangster state. Gorbachev paved the way for the rise of Vladimir Putin. He had thirty years to reconsider. Thirty years to expose. He never did.

How the James-Younger Gang’s Historic Defeat Showed the Importance of a Well-Armed and Responsible Citizenry

The outlaws met their match on September 7 in 1876. They fell not to federal marshals but to the townspeople of Northfield, Minnesota.


“Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” Thus spoke Alexander Graham Bell on March 10, 1876, in the world’s first successful telephone message. Twenty-two-year-old Thomas Augustus Watson thereby became history’s first recipient of a phone call, though he was no further away than an adjacent room. Telemarketers would inevitably follow.

Six months later, on today’s very date—September 7 in 1876—telephonic communication in remote Northfield, Minnesota was still years in the future. Nonetheless, local townspeople by word of mouth put an effective end to a notorious crime spree. “Get your guns, boys, they’re robbing the bank!” shouted Northfield resident J. S. Allen.

The bank robbers on that day were among the most feared and famous outlaws of the day, the James-Younger Gang. Members included Jesse James and his brother Frank, the Younger brothers (Cole, John, Bob, and Jim), plus occasional cohorts such as Clell Miller, Charlie Pitts and Bill Chadwell. Most hailed from Missouri but over an entire decade, they robbed and killed in multiple states from Texas to Kentucky to Iowa and finally, Minnesota.

Not wanting to hold up the First National Bank of Northfield on empty stomachs, the Gang sat down for fried eggs and whisky at a restaurant at about noon. Tanked up and ready to go shortly before 2:00 pm, they headed over to the bank. Having noticed the outlaws (alert residents later testified that the thugs reeked of alcohol), the stage was set for a violent confrontation.

Gunshots rang out and a Swedish immigrant selling vegetables fell dead. Inside the bank, teller James Heywood refused to cooperate by forking over the cash and was shot dead on the spot. As townspeople opened fire, the Gang attempted to escape with a few bags of nickels. Two of the thugs were killed, and every one of the remaining six (including Jesse James himself) was wounded.

What’s the difference, asks an old joke, between a successful bank robber and one who ends up in prison? One’s a pro, and one’s a con. In the end, the James-Younger Gang were definitely in the latter category.

Well-armed and public-spirited Northfield citizens formed a posse and pursued the crooks. All but brothers Frank and Jesse James were either killed or caught and sentenced to long prison terms. To this very day, Northfield hosts an annual “Defeat of Jesse James Days” celebration in September to commemorate the town’s break-up of the James-Younger Gang.

In his riveting book, Chasing Frank and Jesse James: The Bungled Northfield Bank Robbery and the Long Manhunt, Wayne Fanebust assesses this colorful episode:

[I]t was a huge mistake for the James–Younger gang to venture forth into Minnesota, looking for fat bank to rob. It was extremely arrogant of the Missouri outlaws to think that the hard-working farm and businesspeople of the northern prairie would simply run away once the shooting started. And when the shooting started at Northfield, Minnesota, the townspeople offered stiff and brave resistance, exchanging gunfire with gunfire. When the shooting stopped, two outlaws lay dead in the street, and the rest were shot up and sent riding for their lives. Two citizens of Northfield were killed in a shocking crime that set in motion one of the greatest and most exciting manhunts in American history.

When the James Brothers resumed their crime spree (mostly train robberies) a few years later, Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden privatized their apprehension by offering a huge reward.

On April 3, 1882, an aspiring Gang member named Bob Ford fired the fatal shot that killed Jesse James in St. Joseph, Missouri. The story is dramatized in the 2007 Brad Pitt/Casey Affleck film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Jesse’s brother Frank surrendered shortly thereafter.

A fifteen-year theft and murder saga had come to an abrupt end, underscoring the wisdom of the adage, “A gun in hand is better than a cop on the phone.”

When the cops do their job and do it well, I’m the first to offer thanks. But we should always be just as grateful for a well-armed, vigilant, and responsible citizenry.

Border News: Building the Case for Impeachment

A new report shows the Biden administration has allowed one million illegal aliens into the country since taking office.  That doesn’t even count another estimated one million who got in without being caught or as unaccompanied minors.

But the administration recently told us not to believe our own lyin’ eyes – illegal aliens aren’t just walking across the border, the White House says, even though there’s video footage showing them doing exactly that.  The gaslighting is not appreciated.

Nor are the continued policy changes the Biden administration keeps making to open the border further.  The latest is the administration’s announcement it will reimburse El Paso for the cost of sending illegal aliens to New York City on buses.  Come on down, get your free bus ticket here!

And new details have been released on the administration’s plan to give illegal aliens identification cards.  It’s supposedly a pilot program expected to begin in March and cost a couple million dollars, but there is already talk of expanding the program later.  This shows the administration’s priority is to open the border further, not defend it against invaders who break our laws to get in.

Meanwhile, there are fresh reports of the problems Biden’s border policies are causing.  It’s a familiar litany by now, starting with national security threats and drug trafficking.  An investigation into passport fraud turned up nearly 30,000 Mexican passport holders with Middle Eastern names, raising fears Islamic terrorist groups are taking advantage of the chaos at the border Biden has caused to slip through without a close look.  In addition, the Biden administration is still letting Afghan evacuees into the country without fully vetting them and admits it doesn’t know where they are.  Dozens were flagged after entry as security risks, but good luck finding them now.

As for drugs, rainbow fentanyl pills made to look like candy to hook children are coming across the border.  You might blame the Chinese Communist Party and Mexican drug cartels for trafficking the pills, but I blame the Biden administration for opening the border and creating the opportunity.

The Biden administration obviously also doesn’t care about the escalating number of migrant deaths its policies are causing.  They’re up more than 50 percent in the last year and are at the highest on record.  Pulling dead kids from the Rio Grande – more video the Biden administration doesn’t want you to see.  Missing children are also just pawns in Biden’s cynical game:  57 illegal alien children have been reported missing in the Houston area since late last year.  Most are missing from the homes of non-parent U.S. sponsors and others ran away from government shelters.

I’ve said many times Biden and his top border officials should be impeached for failing to faithfully execute our nation’s immigration laws.  That will have to wait for Republican control of Congress but, in the meantime, some are fighting back as best they can.  Florida brought a lawsuit on that exact point – failing to execute the laws.  The case is in the discovery phase and border agents are giving details about the crisis at the border and the lives it is putting at risk.  Another lawsuit, brought by ranchers and other plaintiffs, just survived a motion to dismiss.  It challenges Biden border policies for the harmful environmental impacts they’re causing – trashed ranches, farmland loss, reduced biodiversity, and strain on water resources.  Texas is busing illegal aliens to Chicago now, in addition to D.C. and New York.  Chicago is another sanctuary city and now faces the prospect of becoming more dangerous with more illegal aliens showing up at their doorstep. New York is now the most dangerous sanctuary city in the country, according to a new report.

That’s what you get when you choose party over country, chase the unicorns and rainbows of diversity policy, and decide America is just too guilty to be allowed to continue as is.  If you think that way, fine, let’s open up the border to the whole world as Biden is doing, destroy America starting with your city, and we’ll see how you like what comes next.  How would you like to die – rainbow fentanyl overdose or Islamic terrorist attack?

Home Purchases Now Near Its Lowest Level of the 2019-22 Period Due to Rates More Than Doubling Since January, 2021

Key takeaways:

  • The 10-year old seller’s market continues, evidenced by:
    • Modest purchase volume declines, in spite of a cumulative 39% increase in constant quality HPA since January 2020,
    • Historically tight supply,
    • The work from home revolution, and
    • Arbitrage opportunities due to metro & regional price differences.
  • Purchase volume for week 35 is down 31% & 15% from 2021 & 2019, respectively, with HPA projected to moderate to 12.4%, 11.2%, & 10% in August, September, & October 2022, respectively.
  • If the current mortgage rate of around 6% holds, we expect December 2022 HPA to slow to 6-8% (y-o-y) as demand will further moderate and supply will increase.
  • HPA declines seem most likely at the high end of expensive markets, at the low end of some FHA markets, and in metros with stagnating or declining job growth.

NYC Assistant Principal Becomes Second School Official to Reveal Discriminatory Hiring Practices

*CLICK HERE TO TWEET THE VIDEO*


Project Veritas released the third video in its newly launched Education Series today exposing another school official in charge of administering the education of children between the ages of five and nine years old.

Todd Soper, Assistant Principal for the New York City Department of Education specifically managing neighborhood charter schools for grades K-4, was recorded discussing how he would not offer a job to a right-leaning individual because of their political views.

Here are some of the highlights from today’s video:

  • Todd Soper, Grade K-4 Assistant Principal, Neighborhood Charter Schools, NYC Department of Education: “We have very specific questions, and ultimately our Diversity-Equity-Inclusion question, our DEI question is — it’s very telling if somebody has done a lot of work within themself, within the profession…if people don’t answer that question right, they’re just an automatic not hire.”
  • Soper: “If they [candidates] say that diversity is about — if they say something that lends itself to be colorblind, which could happen, like, ‘Oh, it’s like, you know, like everyone is equal.’ Those things that are well-intentioned statements, but they’re missing the depth of understanding of how the intersections of our identity live out in the world. So, that person wouldn’t get hired.”
  • Soper: “Our students’ lives matter based on the color of their skin, and how that intertwines into the context of the world. So, if you’re not willing to embrace fully that aspect of our students — and that means talking openly about race and talking about injustices in the world, then I don’t know if you’re going to be able to fully fulfill your [teacher] responsibilities.”
  • Soper: A teacher “didn’t want to teach Black Lives Matter” ideology to her students and left the school. “She would’ve probably been fired eventually just based off of mindset. But yeah, she left.”

You can watch the full video HERE.

 

Soper also detailed the ways in which gender ideology is pushed onto children even before they get to Elementary School.

“We have always, and will continue to, embrace diversity on all levels. So, the same way we embrace identities that are based off of ethnicity, skin tone and gender, we also embrace orientation,” Soper said.

“Like, for kindergarten, for Pride month, we got — every kid had a mirror and we talked about — a read-aloud about an animal, or about a boy that said he wanted to be a mermaid. It’s a way to start, like, ‘You should be whoever you feel like you should be.’ That was kind of the message of [the] read aloud,” he said.

“It’s delicate, right? So, in kindergarten and first grade, they [students] are five and six [years old] — but I think we start with the umbrella theme of, ‘Embrace who you are. You have to love who you are, and each part of you is beautiful, whatever you feel.’ As kids get older and the idea of gender becomes more salient, which happens more towards fourth grade…the conversations deepen as the kids get older.”

Election Theft and U.S. Census Bureau: Over-Counted Democrat States, Under-Counted Republican States

Another massive election fraud story censored and scrubbed. The New York Times reported that Census Bureau admitted it overcounted the population in Democrat-dominated states Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Rhode Island. The bureau said it undercounted the population in Republican-dominated Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas (more here).

The conclusions come from a survey of 161,000 housing units conducted after the census was completed, a standard procedure following each once-in-a-decade head count of the U.S. population.

The results were markedly worse than in the 2010 census, in which none of the states had a statistically significant overcount or undercount, the agency found.

Congress needs to get to the bottom of what happened. It must use its oversight authority to investigate the Census Bureau, and how and why these errors happened. But it won’t. The testicular challenged GOP is led by the spineless, the gutless and the ball-less.

“If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled,” Hans A. von Spakovsky, senior legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a former Department of Justice lawyer and FEC commissioner, noted in a Sept. 3 analysis.

The Census Bureau admitted it undercounted the Sunshine State’s population by 750,000.

To put that in perspective, the 2010 Census showed a statistically insignificant error rate of just 0.01%. That means the Census Bureau only missed counting 36,000 Americans — in the entire country.

And when you get the shaft from the Census Bureau, you get it for 10 years.

Larry Ward, president of Political Media, Inc. (PMI), noted in a Facebook post: “More election theft. A direct result of the deep state Census Bureau delaying delivering Census results until Biden’s illegitimate inauguration. 10 years of bullshit til it is repaired.”

Texas was also robbed of another congressional seat by the Census Bureau’s undercounting operatives.

Meanwhile, Minnesota and Rhode Island got to keep congressional seats they don’t deserve.

Minnesota would have lost a congressional seat if it had 26 fewer residents. The Census Bureau just happened to find and count 216,971 residents of Minnesota who aren’t residents of Minnesota.

Rhode Island would have lost a congressional seat if the Census Bureau had counted 19,000 fewer residents. The Democrat bastion was overcounted by more than 55,000 individuals.

See how that works?

“There is no remedy in the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment to correct this problem. The scope of this problem was unusually high, and the Census Bureau has not offered any explanation as to how this happened,” von Spakovsky wrote.

The Federal Gov’s Bungled Census Is Bad News For Red States. Here’s Why

By: Hans von Spakovsky, Daily Caller, September 3, 2022:

If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled.

Why? Because according to a post-2020 census survey, the U.S. Census Bureau significantly undercounted the population of Florida, as well as Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, it overcounted the population of eight states, all but one of which is a blue state.

The 2020 errors were discovered when the Census Bureau interviewed a large number of households across the country and compared the answers it got to the original census responses in 2020. In addition to undercounting six states, the survey showed that the Bureau overcounted the population of Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Utah.

Funny coincidence – the Census made its largest overcount percentage error in President Joe Biden’s tiny home state of Delaware, which was overcounted by 5.45%. But Rhode Island and Minnesota were also overcounted by 5.05% and 3.84%, respectively, which allowed each of them to keep a congressional seat to which they are not entitled.

Minnesota, according to the original census report, would have lost a congressional seat during reapportionment if it had 26 fewer residents; the survey shows the state was overcounted by 216,971 individuals. Similarly, Rhode Island would have lost a seat if the Census Bureau had counted 19,000 fewer residents. It turns out that the state was overcounted by more than 55,000 individuals.

So both states will continue to have more representation in Congress, and more votes in the Electoral College, than they should. The same is true of Colorado, which was awarded a new congressional seat that it should not have gotten.

Contrast that with Texas, which the Census Bureau survey says was undercounted by almost 2%. That represents over a half a million Texans, which means that, like Florida, Texas was cheated out of an additional member of Congress. At that time, the Census Bureau said that Texas needed only 189,000 more people to gain another congressional seat. Turns out Texas already had them.

Arkansas had the largest percentage undercount at 5.04%, which represented over 150,000 residents of the state.

These errors by the Census Bureau also mean that the overcounted states will be receiving a larger share of the over $1.5 trillion in federal funds that are distributed to the states over the next decade based on their states’ populations. And the undercounted states? They will be getting less funding than they should.

There is no remedy in the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment to correct this problem. The scope of this problem was unusually high, and the Census Bureau has not offered any explanation as to how this happened.

By way of comparison, the survey the Census Bureau conducted after the 2010 census showed a statistically insignificant error rate of only 0.01%, which means the Bureau only missed counting 36,000 Americans. Quite a startling difference from the 2020 census.

Even if the states most affected could win a case in court, how would you come up with a remedy? Ordering the Census Bureau to conduct another actual recount in the 14 affected states would be a complex, expensive undertaking that would provide numbers on a different date than the original census whose population totals from April 1, 2020, would still be in effect for the rest of the states, raising fundamental fairness issues given the high mobility of our population. And ordering a new census of the entire nation also seems impractical.

Bank of America’s New Racist Policy: Offers Zero Down Payment, Zero Closing Cost Mortgage Loans to Non-Whites

This is absolute racism and a flagrant violation of our civil rights laws. More unequal application of law. The greatness of quality for all under the law, shredded along with every great American freedom.

Bank of America’s New Racist Policy: Offers Zero Down Payment, Zero Closing Cost Mortgage Loans to Non-Whites

By: Daniel, Red Right Videos, September 6, 2022:

Equal rights are a rallying cry for progressive liberals. They want diversity to permeate each and every aspect of American culture. On the one hand, they insist that all Americans are created equal, particularly minorities. But they enact legislation and policies that oppress certain racial or social groups.
“My biggest prediction in 50 years on Wall Street”

Favoring Americans because of their skin tone is hypocritical. However, a number of “woke” companies have continued to exclude one race from certain programs in spite of this. During the pandemic, only Hispanic farmers were given assistance from a particular program that was designed to help.

This is hardly the only instance of how people of a specific race or skin tone are offered financial advantages. A unique initiative for home loans was recently unveiled by Bank of America. Prospective homeowners will be able to apply for a zero-down payment in a few U.S. cities.

The program will also offer zero-closing-cost mortgages. There’s only one big problem. If the aspiring new homeowner is, say, white, Asian, or anything other than black or Hispanic, they don’t qualify. There are also some other interesting features to this program of racial favoritism.

There will be no requirement to carry mortgage insurance. Besides this suspicious loan security omission, no minimum credit score is required. Does anyone else see a trend here that mirrors the dreadful housing collapse that happened in 2008?

Is Bank of America trying to repeat the same calamity that devastated the U.S. housing industry? Or maybe, Bank of America is just another massive corporation trying to look “woke.” In many respects, this doesn’t even appear to be legal.

There are housing discrimination laws in America. Offering people of a particular race or skin color an advantage in the housing market is blatant discrimination against those who do not qualify. Once again, in the name of diversity, white Americans are being discriminated against.
