FDA Official: ‘Blow Dart’ African Americans with COVID Vaccine

Project Veritas released the second video of its COVID vaccine investigative series today exposing U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] economist, Taylor Lee, who was recorded calling for forced COVID vaccinations and a registry for all unvaccinated Americans.

Lee said that U.S. Government policy could emulate Nazi Germany when it comes to the COVID vaccine.

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

  • Taylor Lee, FDA Economist: “Go to the unvaccinated and blow it [COVID vaccine] into them. Blow dart it into them.”
  • Lee: “Census goes door-to-door if you don’t respond. So, we have the infrastructure to do it [forced COVID vaccinations]. I mean, it’ll cost a ton of money. But I think, at that point, I think there needs to be a registry of people who aren’t vaccinated. Although that’s sounding very [much like Nazi] Germany.”
  • Lee: “Nazi Germany…I mean, think about it like the Jewish Star [for unvaccinated Americans].”
  • Lee: “I’m gonna go door-to-door and stab everyone [with the COVID vaccine], ‘Oh, it’s just your booster shot! There you go!’”
  • Lee: “So, if you put every anti-vaxxer, like sheep, into like Texas and you closed off Texas from the rest of the world, and you go, ‘Okay, you be you in Texas until we deal with this [pandemic].’”
  • Lee: “All of the wealthy white people are getting vaccinated because they’re educated.”
  • Lee: “There are political appointees [at the FDA] that are generally scientific advisors or are appointed by the president or the commission…They’re being paid based on if the other people are staying in power.”
  • Lee: “Unfortunately, everyone ends up playing politics, but I don’t think that the career scientists are — I think that it’s the people that they’re unfortunately having to report to because these political appointees are being put in place and that’s part of like — the Senate confirms the people to then just pick their people.”

Watch the video:

Lee said that due to a large portion of the African American community being hesitant to take the COVID vaccine, the solution would be to “blow dart” them:

Taylor Lee, FDA Economist: “I think that a lot of the time — so there’s also this issue of — I remember reading about how with COVID [vaccine] trials, they were having an issue recruiting African American people. It was because of a different medication the government tried to do that was specifically designed to kill African Americans.”

Veritas Journalist: Oh, so like a mistrust thing.”

Lee:Yeah.”

Veritas Journalist: But this thing [COVID vaccine] is safe, though.”

Lee:We know that now, but like again, I think there is still this big mistrust and like it’s deep-rooted.”

Veritas Journalist: Yeah. Can’t blame them [African Americans].”

Lee: I can’t. But at the same time, like, blow dart. That’s where we’re going.” 

Lee affirmed that “wealthy white people” are more likely to get the COVID vaccine because they are “educated,” and added that he would be willing to force COVID vaccines upon Americans himself if needed.

“I’m gonna go door-to-door and stab everyone [with the COVID vaccine], ‘Oh, it’s just your booster shot! There you go!’”

Lee also said that FDA officials can often be political appointees rather than actual scientific experts.

“There are political appointees [at the FDA] that are generally scientific advisors or are appointed by the president or the commission…They’re being paid based on if the other people are staying in power,” he said.

“Unfortunately, everyone ends up playing politics, but I don’t think that the career scientists are — I think that it’s the people that they’re unfortunately having to report to because these political appointees are being put in place and that’s part of like — the Senate confirms the people to then just pick their people.”

Stay tuned…more #CovidVaxExposed videos will be released SOON.

ORDER JAMES O’KEEFE’S UPCOMING BOOK AMERICAN MUCKRAKER TODAY

U.S. Funds Project to Boost Racial, Ethnic, Gender Diversity in Science at Private Women’s College

The government agency that gave a professor hundreds of thousands of dollars to study white supremacy and racial injustice in U.S. landmarks is giving a small Wisconsin liberal arts college half a million dollars to boost “racial/ethnic and gender diversity” in science fields and “broaden participation of underrepresented minorities.” The money is flowing through the National Science Foundation (NSF), which was created by Congress seven decades ago to promote the progress of science, advance national health and prosperity and secure the national defense. Lately, it seems the agency is focusing a lot more on racial justice endeavors that exclude large portions of the American population.

Judicial Watch has reported extensively on the government wide race and gender equity movement that often puts federal agencies at odds with their taxpayer-funded mission. Race-based initiatives have been well documented in recent years at a multitude of leading agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Labor (DOL) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to name a few. The NSF seems to be leading the pack lately, though many other federal agencies are also dedicating considerable resources to the cause. With an annual budget of $8.5 billion, the NSF funds more than a quarter of research conducted at American colleges and universities, where it is worth mentioning that the theft of intellectual property by Communist China is pervasive.

In the last few weeks alone, the NSF gave away millions of dollars to race-based projects in secondary and post-secondary institutions. The first allotment, $271,594, went to a private liberal arts college in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania that will use the money to identify potential “systemic inequities” in science, technology, engineering, and math fields (STEM) at the campus with an enrollment of around 3,724. The goal, according to the NSF, is to uncover “any existence of systemic inequities and advancement barriers related to gender, race, and ethnicity in STEM faculty” at the school, Bucknell University. Weeks later the NSF doled out nearly $2 million to “address the historical and current racial and gender disparities in participation in high school computer science education.” The project is part of a broader program called Researching Equity and Antiracist Learning in Computer Science (REAL-CS) that focuses on expanding participation for black, indigenous, “Latinx” (the new, politically correct gender-neutral term for Latino or Latina) and Pacific Islander students by addressing systemic barriers in high school computer science education. REAL-CS is designed to sustain yet another publicly-funded, “equity-focused” initiative called Exploring Computer Science (ECS) dedicated to “democratizing” the field by increasing opportunities for “traditionally underrepresented” high school students after a study identified disparities along “race and socioeconomic lines.”

Now the NSF is giving Alverno College, a tiny women’s liberal arts school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, $499,983 to increase racial/ethnic and gender diversity in STEM. “As a women’s college serving primarily first-generation, low-income students, more than half women of color, Alverno College will use this project to broaden participation of underrepresented minorities and women in STEM, who lag in STEM degree attainment and STEM workforce participation,” according to the NSF grant announcement. “Increasing racial/ethnic and gender diversity in STEM is a recognized strategy to expand the STEM workforce.” The agency further writes that the project engages the external community in a cooperative relationship, recognizing the intersection between STEM and students’ social/community identities. “Ongoing faculty development in culturally responsive teaching and a formalized administrative support structure will expand project impact across the college,” the NSF grant document sates.

The science agency is also financing a special project to determine if historical sites around the nation acknowledge white supremacy and racial injustice. The NSF gave a University of Oregon ethnic studies professor $350,000 to research thousands of landmarks and, though the grant announcement uses more discreet language, a university article titled “Professor is finding that a racist past is often left off monuments” provides more details. The professor, Laura Pulido, who specializes in “Chicanx studies,” indicates that her NSF-financed research offers insights into bridging the gap to racial justice. “It examines historical commemoration and the degree to which white supremacy and racial injustice is acknowledged in more than 2,600 different landmarks around the United States,” the article reads. Though in the early stages of her research, Pulido says initial data confirms that racism is deeply ingrained in American historical commemoration and U.S. landmarks fail to acknowledge links to racial inequality. “Although white supremacy — the overt belief in the superiority of white people — was central to the creation of the U.S., the nation is deeply invested in denying its role,” Pulido says. “Historical sites are key to this systemic denial, as they denote places and events deemed worthy of remembrance.”

You Want Positive? Try This!

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” -William Penn


You know America, it is so easy to be depressed, angry, sad, frustrated, sick to your stomachs and just plain aggravated when it comes to watching what is happening in our beloved constitutional republic today. When you look at how the world sees us under this usurper of a president, how little they think of us. How disrespected we are. How our treasonous, idiotic and mentally challenged so called leader is the constant butt of jokes. How even the UK is wondering and publicly questioning why Biden is not allowed to take press questions – even from a tame media.

When you watch the continual Democrat led destruction of our military, the destruction and almost annihilation of our border security, the destruction of our economy, the destruction of the constitution, hyper inflation aligning with higher fuel costs, the destruction of good race relations and the destruction of our educational system, it is easy to feel all of the above feelings.

However, what you have to remember, is that first and foremost we are Americans.

What does that mean?

It means that we are part of the greatest nation this world has ever seen. We are made of sterner stuff. We are citizens with knowledge of freedom. We love our country. We love our military.

I believe approximately 70% of this nation is crying in their souls for change. I believe that at least 70% of this nation does not like, does not want, or agrees with what is happening under the Biden administration. I do not believe the majority of good Americans can be happy at all the destruction, hypocrisy and criminality that we are witnessing under this hugely corrupt and evil administration. If you live in the southern border states you have to be afraid. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, have invaded and are unchecked for Covid. A lot of the time we do not even know where they’re coming from, what their political ideology is or even who they are! We know a certain number do not have good intentions towards America or it’s citizens.

So, here is the positive information. I know that there are many groups of real patriots all over this beloved country of mine, that are working hard, every single day, to beat the red peril that has invaded our country.

How do I know?

I know because I am in contact with them, am and have membership with them. They are raising huge funds, meeting up and getting the word out to a lot of the right people who can make a difference at this most dangerous time in our history. They are filing law suites everywhere. They will not give up. They will not surrender.

When it comes to election fraud I believe enough information is known and will come out soon ( see Maricopa county) and it will make it almost impossible for the Democrats to be able to steal another election as easily as the 2020 election. Ideally it would be great to be able to replace this administration with the one that legally won the 2020 election but that isn’t possible at this time. We will be in a much better position to carefully watch the election as it unfolds in 2022 and 2024. We will be better guardians of our electoral system. We will make this domestic enemy within, the Democrats, a lame duck administration unable to easily do any more harm to our nation.

I also believe that over half of those that voted legally in the 2020 election for a change from a man rather than a system, are at this very moment in time reconsidering and regretting that vote. How could they not? Even the White House Press Corp, huge Biden liars and propaganda exponents, have filed a formal complaint against Sleepy Joe Biden following Tuesday’s press conference with the British Prime Minister who took questions from the British media while the WH press corps were hurried out of the room!

Then there is the new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey of registered voters which shows former President Trump’s favorability ratings eclipsing that of Joe Biden, with the latter being underwater in popularity! I know. Polls are not always accurate. I understand. But this poll is not alone in slamming Biden. It appears that recent disgusting Biden led agenda events like Afghanistan, the border etc. seem to be giving Americans a fresh appreciation for the former president and truthfully the man who won the 2020 presidential election – President Donald J Trump – my president.

Believe me when I say that the majority of Americans are not extremists, either left or right. They are centrist but right now are unable to compromise as that ability has been removed by the sharp left turn the Democrats have taken.

I believe that the majority of Americans will do the right thing in 2022 and we will send the Democrats scurrying back to the dark, vile, filthy halls of hell where they belong. Back to Satan.

I believe there will eventually be a reckoning of all those that have committed treasonous acts against the constitutional republic that I call home and that will include military leaders such as General Millie and those many politicians from both parties that have broken their sworn Oaths of office. I hope the political prisoners from January 6th are exonerated. I further believe there’s a lot of information that we have that will become public and there will be a day of reckoning as we, the people, will demand it. Revenge against these enemies of the state will be sweet and well deserved. There shall be no pity.

Historically and traditionally Americans have never stood quietly in the face of injustice or inhumane acts. Americans will see the injustice being committed right now and inhumane acts that have been committed with forced vaccinations masking, social distancing and curtailing our freedom of speech and other rights and liberties like our ability to move freely around our country, to support our families or our ability to practice our religion of choice.

I further believe good Americans will see the hypocrisy in the chant of “my body, my choice” when it comes to abortion but not to apply it to what is being forced into our body with vaccinations that are dangerous and truthfully untested.

I further believe that soon Americans will unite and boycott the main stream media and the so-called “WOKE” corporations and social media conglomerates that are ruining this country and running it into the ground.

Now for some more great news!!!

For those of you who refuse to take the China Virus vaccinations there is a new job company that you will like. It offers jobs to freedom lovers. It is called Red Balloon. Here is what they say on their site:- “We connect employers who value freedom with employees who value it too. We envision a world beyond cancel culture, where employees are free to work… without fear that they will find themselves on the wrong side of their employer’s politics. That’s it. No agendas, politics, or drama. Just work. Interested? Let’s create that world together. We’d love to hear from you!

If all the above does not come to fruition there is an alternative. Not a good one but a viable alternative. You all know what it is and I am reminded of that great statement: The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, November 13, 1787.

GOP Reps Introduce Articles Of Impeachment Against Biden: ‘Not Capable Of Being Commander-In-Chief’

Biden’s gross errors of judgment demand impeachment. We’ll see if the Democrats have reduced it to a purely political tool (as we saw with Trump). But it’s not Biden per se, it’s the Democrat party of treason. The whole party should be impeached.

Not Capable Of Being Commander-In-Chief’: GOP Reps Introduce Articles Of Impeachment Against Biden

Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-OH) introduced three articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on Tuesday citing his handling of Afghanistan, immigration, and the now-defunct federal eviction moratorium.

By  Tim Pearce • DailyWire Sep 22, 2021

“I take this seriously. I don’t think it’s haphazard. I’m not trying to get media attention for myself,” Gibbs told The Washington Examiner, which first reported the impeachment push. “He’s done so much damage to this country in less than nine months, which is really scary.”

The eviction moratorium was scrapped in August by the Supreme Court after the Biden administration expanded it in a move the White House had previously claimed was unconstitutional. At the time of the extension, Biden softened his language on the moratorium, claiming he “can’t tell” whether it was constitutional. He said the extension would buy time for another solution to be found.

Biden ordered the U.S. out of Afghanistan at the end of August, leaving potentially hundreds of Americans behind in the terrorist-controlled country. Biden also left potentially tens of thousands of Afghans who had worked with the U.S. military against the Taliban during the United States’ two-decade occupation of the country.

Thirteen U.S. servicemembers died in a terror attack during the chaotic and rushed withdrawal. In carrying out drone strikes against the ISIS-K terror group in response to the attack, the Biden administration bombed an Afghan aid worker, killing him and nine members of his family, including seven children. The Pentagon admitted the mistake last week.

Gibbs acknowledged that the articles of impeachment are unlikely to go anywhere with Democrats in charge of the House.

“Obviously, it’s not going to go anywhere with Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi,” Gibbs told the Examiner. “It shows that there are some Republicans that think that this president needs to be impeached, he needs to be removed from office one way or another.”

“At some point, they’re gonna be held accountable for their actions, and this is kind of putting them on notice,” he said.

GOP Sen. Cotton Blasts Biden’s UN General Assembly Speech ‘Disgrace’

President Biden’s speech at the UN General Assembly was a total disaster. Biden declared that the U.S was entering a ‘new era’ of U.S diplomacy. What Biden should have said is that the U.S was entering a ‘new era’ of appeasement. In his speech, Biden would not condemn China’s coercion and bullying of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and other American allies. In fact, he would not even reference China by name.

Biden also expressed his desire to re-enter the fatally flawed Iran nuclear deal, despite the U.S being viciously lambasted by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi during his UN address. And at a time when his party removed funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, Biden called for a two-state solution between Israel and the terrorist Palestinian Authority and Hamas. What a disgrace.

GOP Sen. Cotton blasts Biden’s UN General Assembly speech ‘disgrace’

By New York Post, September 22, 2021

President Biden “walked into the United Nations and slapped a giant ‘Kick Me’ sign on Uncle Sam’s back” with his remarks before the General Assembly Tuesday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Fox News.

“This speech was a disgrace at the United Nations … And in particular, as it relates to China,” Cotton told host Laura Ingraham of Biden’s address, which did not refer to America’s largest geopolitical rival by name. “He bent over backwards to conciliate and appease the Chinese Communist Party.”

In his address, the president sought to reassure his audience that “we are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs.

“The United States is ready to work with any nation that steps up and pursues peaceful resolution to shared challenges, even if we have intense disagreements in other areas,” Biden said, “because we’ll all suffer the consequences of our failure if we do not come together to address the urgent threats like COVID-19 and climate change or enduring threats like nuclear proliferation.”

“He said we don’t seek a new Cold War,” Cotton remarked. “Well, China has been waging a Cold War against America and our workers and our military for decades. So the question is not whether we seek one, the question is whether or not we will fight back in it.

“Yet, Joe Biden wouldn’t even say the word ‘China,’” the senator added. “He’s apparently too scared to even mention China’s name in a speech addressed to the world’s leaders. What kind of signal does that send to them? What kind of signal does it send to the leaders of Beijing? I can tell you what they’re doing right now: They are laughing at Joe Biden.”

Washington and Beijing have butted heads in recent years over a variety of issues, including tradeintellectual property, China’s military ambitions in the South China Sea, and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts by the Biden administration to open discussions of how to counter climate change have been largely rebuffed as well.

Hours after Biden announced the US would increase financial aid to poorer nations to $11.4 billion by 2024 so those countries could switch to cleaner energy, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that Beijing will no longer fund coal-fired power plants abroad. If it is honored, that promise could shutter 47 planned power plants in 20 developing countries — though critics noted the announcement lacked details like effective dates and whether it applied to private funding as well as public funding.

Jews, Not Muslims, Are the Primary Victims of Religion-Based Hate Crimes in the U.S.

Yet the media continues to focus on the phantom of “Islamophobia.” My latest in FrontPage:

As the nation observed the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad terror attacks, the establishment media’s focus was largely on how Muslims were victimized in the wake of the attacks. A wave of “Islamophobia” supposedly swept over the United States, and is still very much with us. Reality, however, is (as usual) sharply different from the establishment media narrative. Jews, not Muslims, have both before 9/11 and after been the far most common victim of hate crimes in the United States. Yet the media indefatigably focuses on “Islamophobia,” not anti-Semitism.

George W. Bush got the ball rolling on September 17, 2001. He appeared at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C., in the company of several prominent Muslim leaders, including Nihad Awad of the The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Abdurahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council, who is now in prison for funding al-Qaeda, and put the spotlight squarely on Muslims as victims:

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect.

In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect. Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America. That’s not the America I know. That’s not the America I value. I’ve been told that some fear to leave; some don’t want to go shopping for their families; some don’t want to go about their ordinary daily routines because, by wearing cover, they’re afraid they’ll be intimidated. That should not and that will not stand in America.

Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don’t represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior.

The only problem with this was that Muslims were not being subjected to wholesale vigilante attacks in the United States, at that time or at any point subsequently. A Sikh, Balbir Singh Sodhi, was mistaken for a Muslim and murdered on September 15, 2001; the following day, a Muslim, Waqar Hasan, was murdered. On October 4, 2001, the man who murdered Hasan, Mark Anthony Stroman, killed a Hindu named Vasudev Patel, mistaking him for a Muslim.

That was all. These three murders were heinous crimes; Balbir Singh Sodhi’s killer, Frank Silva Roque, is serving life in prison, and Mark Stroman was executed in 2011. But to claim that “9/11 released a dangerous wave of white supremacy and Islamophobia that, two decades later, continues to manifest in attacks on members of a variety of belief traditions,” as AP did in noting the anniversary of Balbir Singh Sodhi’s murder Thursday, is wildly exaggerated. Muslims have not suffered widespread persecution, discrimination, and harassment in the U.S. since 9/11. FBI hate crime statistics bear this out.

In 2000, the year before the 9/11 attacks, the FBI noted 33 anti-Islamic hate crimes; in 2001, that number skyrocketed to 546. That’s 546 too many, but a bit of perspective is in order: also in 2001, there were 1,117 anti-Jewish hate crimes. These were not, mind you, all violent incidents: the FBI report explained that “A review of the total offenses (11,451) demonstrated that intimidation was the most frequently reported hate crime, accounting for 37.9 percent of the total. Destruction/damage/vandalism made up 26.4 percent; simple assault, 18.8 percent; aggravated assault, 10.8 percent. The remaining offenses accounted for 6.1 percent of the total.” Intimidation can be just saying something rude, or something perceived as rude.

In 2002, the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes fell sharply, to 170; the number of anti-Jewish hate crimes held steady at 1,039. And so it has been every year since then. In 2018, there were 225 anti-Muslim hate crimes, and 896 anti-Jewish hate crimes; in 2019, there were 219 anti-Muslim hate crimes, and 995 anti-Jewish hate crimes. In 2020, anti-Muslim hate crimes decreased by 42%.

Yet ABC News gave a Muslims-As-Victims spin to all this on September 11 when it stated: “Hate crimes against Muslims rose 1617% from 2000 to 2001, according to the FBI marking some of the highest numbers of Islamophobic hate crimes ever in the U.S. But even as the country moved further from the attacks and the Muslim American population in the country grew, discrimination against this community has not waned, Pew Research Center reports.”

This kind of “journalism” is published as Jew-hatred becomes increasingly legitimized on the Left. Around the time of the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel last spring, Palestinian Muslims and their supporters committed acts of violence against Jews and supporters of Israel all over the United States. In New York City, a Muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” attacked a Jewish man in midtown Manhattan. Also in Manhattan, Palestinians threatened violence and screamed anti-Semitic slurs at Jews. One threw a mini-firebomb. Pro-jihad protesters stormed a restaurant and spat on Jewish patrons; one of the thugs threw a bottle. A Muslim, Waseem Awawdeh, was arrested for viciously beating a Jew in Times Square.

In Los Angeles, Palestinian protesters asked people dining at the Sushi Fumi restaurant if they were Jewish, and proceeded to attack them with knives. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, two cars festooned with Palestinian flags chased a Jewish man down a street as he was leaving his synagogue. In Florida, a van also bearing a Palestinian flag and emblazoned with the slogan “Hitler was Right” drove past a pro-Israel demonstration. In Skokie, Illinois, a pro-jihad vandal wearing an Arab headdress smashed a synagogue window and left a Palestine flag and a pro-jihad sign inside. And in Boston, an anti-Semitic Muslim migrant named Khaled Awad approached a rabbi outside a Jewish day school and stabbed him eight times.

There will likely be much more of this, while the media continues to hunt for “Islamophobia” and demonize and stigmatize all those who stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. The facts are clear to anyone who searches for them, but most people won’t; and establishment media “journalists” will continue to do all they can to hoodwink Americans into swallowing their tendentious, inaccurate, and divisive narrative.

PODCAST: The America Psychosis

As I talk to friends and contacts around the country, I sense a general malaise in the land, and, No, I do not believe the weather has anything to do with it. It’s been building for some time now, rivaling the level of angst in last year’s “Summer of Hate.” According to recent polls, Americans have lost faith in their government and other institutions (click HERE), such as schools, organized religion, and the media. Rasmussen reports Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction (click HERE), and President Biden’s approval ratings continue to plummet (click HERE). Americans feel beaten down and are becoming apathetic. When the people become despondent, and nobody is watching, this is when things start slipping in the back door, such as socialism.

It is difficult to point at anything with pride these days: the federal government keeps spreading fear and defiance in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic; our borders are not secured, illegals are crossing over in record numbers; taxes and inflation are rising; the economy can be described as “sluggish” at best; we’re no longer energy independent; there is also the recent black eye of the Afghanistan debacle; inner cities like Chicago are still battle zones; even the tragic death of Gabby Petito makes us question our moral fiber. All of this adds to a lack of confidence in how we are operating.

I first took notice of this phenomenon five years ago (click HERE) as we approached the 2016 election. At the time, I pointed the finger at the news media for the doom and gloom they reported. Today though, I believe it has gone beyond the main stream media and reflects the changing morality of the country.

As I said in 2016, “The news we hear is unsettling to our sensibilities. We are easily disturbed when our sense of right and wrong is tested, be it through an act of our government officials, corruption, or some other indiscretion. It simply offends us that such an act could occur.”

Whereas, years ago we read daily newspapers and watched the evening news around dinner time, today we live in a 24/7 news cycle. Unfortunately, this has a tendency to disrupt our concentration at work and even sleeping patterns. With all of the bad news being fed to us around the clock, is it any wonder we find ourselves in the doldrums? As I wrote, “Thanks to technology, the news acts like a drug we are addicted to. Even though we are alarmed by what we hear, we cannot seem to change the channel, and want to know more. This is what the news media is counting on in order to fill their coffers. This explains why on a slow news day, they manage to find a small scrap of news and blow it out of proportion to unsettle us.”

We can no longer ignore the events of the day, which is why we’re in a purple funk. We feel helpless to do anything about it. As I see it, we either start taking tons of anti-depressants or get off our ass and change the country, starting with cleaning out the government (through elections), and slamming the door on Fake News. Americans have to learn reactionary politics put the country in this dilemma. If we have any hopes of surviving this depression, we have to become pro-active. Our mindset has to change if we have any hope of enduring this period. As President Kennedy said in his inauguration, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” In other words, let’s challenge Americans to contribute to the public good, not its destruction. Frankly, it is time to move forward as opposed to backwards. Only then will we rise up from this depressing psychosis we are embroiled in.

Keep the Faith!

Trump Files $100 Million Lawsuit Against New York Times Over Illegally Obtained Tax Records

Former President Donald Trump filed a $100 million lawsuit against The New York Times and his niece Mary Trump on Tuesday, alleging his confidential tax documents were improperly shared.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the New York Supreme Court, alleged that New York Times reporters Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner pressured Mary Trump to share the former president’s tax documents for an article they were working on in 2018, the Associated Press reported.

“The brazenness of the defendants’ actions cannot be understated,” the lawsuit said. “A group of journalists with The New York Times, in the middle of an extensive crusade to obtain Donald J. Trump’s confidential tax records, relentlessly sought out his niece, Mary L. Trump, and convinced her to smuggle the records out of her attorney’s office and turn them over to The Times.”

Trump’s lawsuit stated that the reporters understood their actions were illegal since they used burner phones to communicate about the story and offered Mary Trump anonymity as a source.

Mary Trump participated in the allegedly illegal sharing of documents because she was “motivated by a personal vendetta,” the lawsuit said. She admitted to being the NYT’s anonymous source in a 2020 book highlighting her relationship with her uncle.

The 2018 NYT story alleged that Trump’s tax records, which the outlet admitted were confidential, showed that he received about $413 million from his father’s fortune beginning when he was a toddler. He also used “dubious tax schemes” to increase the size of his inheritance, according to the NYT report.

The article, which had been published in October 2018, was followed up by several other stories in the following weeks on the former president’s tax records.

“The Times’s coverage of Donald Trump’s taxes helped inform the public through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest,” the NYT said in a statement Tuesday evening. “This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations and we plan to vigorously defend against it.”

Mary Trump said her uncle was a “loser” and acting in “desperation” in a statement to NBC News.

“The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that he thinks will stick,” her statement continued, according to NBC News. “As is always the case with Donald, he’ll try and change the subject.”

Be the Free Guy: Social-Proof Conformity Crumbles with Simple Action by One Person

A famous conformity experiment developed by Solomon Asch in the 1950s, provides stunning evidence of our willingness to follow the crowd — despite the evidence of our own eyes. Social proof, a powerful force in molding behavior, has become a political tool, amplified by social media, mainstream media and academia. But there’s a simple remedy also revealed in the Asch conformity experiments that requires action by only one person — you.

We Are Saving America!

(Foreword by Fred Brownbill:- Before you read this mornings blog, please do me a favor. Please hit the follow button and register to get this humble scribes blog sent daily to your email address. There are very seldom more than one a day, sent early to your mail box. Then you can hit the like button if you actually like it, comment and share. I try to answer every comment left. I have been told that many of these blogs contain vital information written in common sense language and an opinion that is definitely not politically correct!! The huge percentage increase weekly in hits on this blog confirm that.)

On Monday September 20th I was lucky enough to have been invited to “The American Project Leadership Council” organized by such people as General Flynn & Dr. Patrick Byrne of the America Project. Speaking on Medical Tyranny: Dr. Simone Gold, MD and George Wentz, Jr. Esq. of Frontline doctors. On the subject of Election Integrity: Jovan Pulitzer, Futurist-Innovator, and Col. Phil Waldron, Stragegic Advisor to the America Project. Then a favorite of most on the subject of Religious Liberty: Kris Anne Hall. A strong patriot and phenomenal speaker and teacher of the constitution. On the vital subject of Educational Freedom: Keith Flaugh and Domine Clemons of the Florida Citizens Alliance spoke.

This meeting originally was to have been a live event but turned into a virtual affair due to issues with fire marshals and the stupidity that is the 2020’s. Unfortunately I had issues logging in and missed the first hour but I have been told I will get the info imparted by these awesome speakers sent to me.

There was so much information given out with accompanying pictures, media slides etc. I was going to take notes, screenshots etc. but the info was so valuable and coming so fast I couldn’t do it all so decided to just listen and ask questions or make statements.

Luckily a good few of the speakers were former very active members of the Save America Foundation I ran in the Tampa Bay Area for many years in the Tea Party era so I know them. Several have promised to get me info from the event in a blog form or in a form I can get to you all. There will be multiple links and you will have to possibly spend a little time on it but it will be worth your time.

Apart from the election integrity, probably the subject most useful to you all as the vaccine mandate begins to bite, is what to do when your boss or landlord tells you that you need to be vaccinated in order to continue working or living there. I have supplied in previous blogs details and information on religious exemption forms and in the next few days should be able to give you a course of action you need to take to best protect your position. As soon as I get that I will post it here and send it out as normal.

One of the main speakers from this auspicious event, Keith Flaugh, just sent me this link on ‘Government overreach in the classroom’. It is a great 28.30 minute long video so please take the time to to watch it. If you have school age kids it is a must. This was his message to me and therefore to you all. “We are very proud of the amazing team we are building and an even more amazing track record for improving K-12 education here in Florida . I think you will enjoy this TV interview with our full time Director of Operations, Domine Clemons and Mat Staver, President and CEO of Liberty Counsel, a premier law firm fighting for First Amendment Rights.”

One of the things most of you want to do but may find cumbersome is to contact your elected officials to tell him or her how you wish them to vote. Examples may be on these monstrous spending bills. A website which I just started using. to contact my politician is the following. https://www.contactmypolitician.com/
Tell everyone in your base to tell their politician NO on raising any debt. If we want to stop socialism/communism we must control the purse. Always follow the money. Or in the case of the federal government the money being printed uncontrollably 24/7 with nothing to support it back it up. Fiat currency. Inflation maker! As a friend of mine and radio host Karen Schoen says:- Applying Knowledge is Power!

TAP, The America Project, has a great site ( linked below ) with a lot of information on a varied subject matter. Please look at joining them and donating to the work they do. It is incredibly important now, probably more so than at any other time in our history, that you are tied to real patriots and real time legitimate and factual information to debunk the lies and propaganda being spewed out hourly by the most corrupt and leftist MSM on the earth today. Truth and accurate information will be your weapon of choice in today’s world. If we are smart they are maybe all we will need before we aspire to an armed insurrection.

Things to watch out for this week is the result of the election fraud investigation in the Maricopa County 2020 election which will be released around Thursday. Below are a few slides from the presentation to wet your whistle so to speak on the info coming out of that in depth forensic examination of the ballots and the systems and results. Look at them all carefully and fully understand the depth and depravity that the Democrats and their Socialist/communist partners went to so as to steal the election that they knew they had lost.

The Squad Brings Islam to America

Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and other squad members have been voted into representational positions, but they are not whom they profess to be.  Ungrateful for the opportunities, they are not here to Americanize, but to Islamize America, beginning with sowing the seeds of hate and discord.  Such is the purpose of the jihada.


Saturday, September 11, 2021, was a time to reflect on the terrible tragedy that befell our country twenty years before.  As the never-ending grief resurfaces, we see that the qualities of sanctuary and personal freedoms that made America great have also attracted those who come with malice and villainy.  I am deeply troubled for those who fled from around the world with hopes for a better life, for they are finding here precisely what they escaped.

Our homegrown communists and the new ingrates openly express their hostility.  Why stay, if this doesn’t suit you?  The ungracious people in the US Congress, particularly, have risen to positions that should be occupied by others more deserving.  One such is Ilhan Omar, who callously said of 9/11, “some people did something,” making light of the more than 3,000 Americans who died that day and later – the first responders, the cleaning crews, and the everyday Americans who ran through the streets, the debris underfoot and inhaling the ashes, hoping they might be of some help to another soul.

Omar trivialized the attacks to erase the murderers’ Muslim identity, for they are her brethren.  She offered not a word of compassion and sorrow from the Muslim community to America.  She also wasted no time expressing her support of the anti-Semitic boycott-divestment-sanctions (BDS) movement and continues her numerous empty accusations against Israel, despite being called out for it on the Senate floor.

Her disinformation campaign is given voice and validation; true or not, the damage is done.  Our school systems weaponize our own children; the textbooks elevate Islam over Judaism and Christianity, a Seattle high school canceled the 9/11 tribute so as not to offend – whom?  The indoctrination is pervasive.   Despite the Muslim terrorists’ martyrdom letters, our country aids in veiling their guilt.  Projection will eventually lay blame elsewhere.  The violence will continue on our streets, here and abroad, and they will topple the event as they did the buildings and much of our historic statuary.

Rashida Tlaib and her squad use their positions to target charities that support the Jewish people.  They roll the truth on its head, artfully making themselves the victims, the protected class, inflating crimes against themselves, providing false statistics, and claiming they are denied basic rights.  The narrative is bogus, but effective.  Driving home their incessant suffering has resulted in more outspoken radicalized youth, increased voter and political participation, donations and volunteers.

Tlaib squawked her earliest tirades when she entered the political scene.  She uttered undignified vulgarities in front of her son and America’s news viewers, yet asked to be treated with dignity.  The irony is lost on her.  She spews insults and animosity towards others, including then-President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, and cries out for death to Israel and the Jews.

To her phony dismay, she was born in America, but to “Palestinian” parents, Muslims dedicated to viewing the world as Dar Al Islam (House of Peace) and Dar al Harb (House of War).  She lives in the latter, hoping to bring America to Dar al Islam.  Tlaib would rather be Palestinian, except that there is no Palestine;  the name lacks validity.  Palestine did not exist in the past and does not exist now.  She knows that the term is meaningless, and she is bitter.

Another resentment she bears is that the glory days of Islam are gone, overshadowed by the successes of the western world.   If the Golden Age was due to Islamic wisdom, why is there no Golden Age now?  We know that Islam’s glory consisted of great tolerance, expression of opinion, critical thinking, questioning all things, and harmony between all people. Then why does it no longer exist?  Al-Razi of Rhazes (Muhammad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī), 865 – 925, clarified that their splendor existed in spite of Islam not because of Islam.  It existed because of the scholars, scientists, physicians, inventors and navigators they captured from other cultures.  Judeo-Christian values are the antithesis of Islam.

On the day of her swearing-in ceremony, Congresswoman Tlaib took her oath to serve our country and observe the Constitution – on the Quran.  Her binding vow was to Allah.  She was dressed not as an American, but in the garment of her heritage, revealing her allegiance to her Bedouin tradition, her descendance from the nomadic Arab tribes that inhabit the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, the Levant, and North Africa.  These itinerants, divided into tribes or clans, had neither the ability nor desire to set down roots; their culture was camel or goat herding.  They never establish permanency and have no government, language, monetary system, or literature unique to themselves.  To this day, the Bedouins journey with their herds into Israel, attempting a temporary settlement on land that Israel may have partitioned for agriculture, national  parks or wildlife sanctuary, but lacking infrastructure, is not zoned for residency.  They protest that they cannot do as they choose, and they attract lawyers who are eager to engage in lawfare – the misuse of the legal system to delegitimize Israel.

Above all, Rashida Tlaib was raised as the traditional 330 million Muslims who believe in violence against Mohammed’s sworn enemies, the Jews and the Christians.  Their major source of unity is their hatred; the male child is trained from toddlerhood to dedicate his life to terrorism because of Quranic dictates and their social reality.  The jihadi’s world is chaotic, filled with anxiety.  His life is dark, devoid of love and the joy of creativity, his hatred so fueling that he is made eager to fight alongside others to the death – for martyrdom and the promise of untold sexual gratification in heaven.

The boy is raised without individuality, a faceless, covered, and unidentified gang member, adept in using deadly weapons and prepared to become a human bomb himself.  Tlaib is the female counterpart, the jihada, who seeks to be elevated from her lowly rank to command respect.  In an average family, a mother generally uses an exaggerated intonation and rhythm when speaking to her baby, but in Islam, it is psychotic babble that prevails among the desperate in the shame-honor environment.  The mother’s frightening world consists of female genital mutilation (FGM), honor killings, weaponized children, and a marriage that has been described as a series of rapes interrupted by childbirth, and the baby reacts in confusion and chaos. The radicalized female devalues her own gender because she has internalized her position in an Islamic family.  What resentment might Rashida have borne as surrogate mother to 13 siblings?  She must demand respect because it was never freely given or earned.

Some jihadas do gain status by planning killing operations or encouraging their own brothers and sons to martyrdom.  Some are more vulnerable because of recent widowhood or rape.  Tlaib is no suicide bomber, but she embraces the Palestinian narrative – to regain their “Palestine” from Israel at all costs.  Once that’s accomplished, everything else promises to fall into place.  It is only through scapegoating Israel that she may rise to gain nobility.

As a jihada, she joined the Democrat Socialists of America (SDA).  She hosted a pro-Hezbollah activism group not long after her installation, and began posting her desires to destroy Israel and fundraise for families of Palestinian martyrs who already receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the Palestinian Authority’s “pay to slay” program.  Openly hostile, she and the squad press for a crippling, global financial campaign against Israel, but remain mute about the Palestinians’ deadly activities (incendiary weapons, knifings, rocket attacks) against Israel and Jews worldwide.  In what other culture might one spew hatred and death to others while still expecting to be treated with dignity?

Life for Palestinians in Gaza, Judea and Samaria is difficult, but she fails to discern the reason.  It is the warring diktats of the Quran, the terror of armed Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades and other PLO terrorist groups in the “Palestinian cities,” and the children who have learned nothing but terrorism. The misery is self-inflicted.

The truth is that Hamas – not Israel – controls these people.  This criminal gang will continue to lead the Palestinians into chaos, explains Palestinian Bassam Eid.  Hamas incites the Palestinians that Israel will destroy their mosques, make their water unsafe to drink, cause their power to go out, and block their cement shipments.  All of this is untrue.  Israel does not sabotage their water or power, and it is Hamas that steals the cement shipments to construct terror tunnels into Israel.  Hamas also steals the humanitarian aid shipments from Israel and sells them on the black market.  Eid revealed that 15% of all rockets launched by Hamas hurts the Gazans, but Israel is blamed.  He added that Palestinians residing in four buildings in Sheikh Jarrah will be evicted because the titles were sold by Hamas – another of their betrayals.  Palestinians are mistreated only by their own leadership, including their clergy.

The Palestinians and all observant Muslims have one guiding light – their religious duty to rule the world under Islam.  Their deeds, their lies, their activities, everything they do is for Islam and no amount of appeasement, signed documents, or transactions will ever change this until their Quran is changed and accepted by all of Islam.  This is why the clerics must keep the focus on Israel, for without Israel as their whipping boy, their people would come to identify their real enemy – their worthless heritage, religion and culture, and the violence that keeps them enraged.  It is far easier to coerce the rest of the world to share in their misery — and this is precisely what Tlaib wants for America.

ANALYSIS: Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Hurts Working Class America The Most

  • President Joe Biden’s executive action requiring most U.S. workers to get vaccinated hurts working class Americans the most, according to polling and vaccination data.
  • “Unfortunately, this disproportionately harms people of lower socioeconomic groups,” Jeffrey Singer, a health policy expert at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked about Biden’s vaccine mandate. “A significant number of people who don’t want to get vaccinated are mainly of lower socioeconomic status.”
  • Just 66% of U.S. adults with less than a college degree have been vaccinated, significantly fewer than the 76% of total adults who have received a vaccination, according to a Sept. 10-13 Morning Consult poll.

President Joe Biden’s executive action requiring most U.S. workers to get vaccinated hurts working class Americans the most, according to polling and vaccination data.

Americans with lower levels of education are less likely to get and be more hesitant about COVID-19 vaccinations, according to survey data from the Census Bureau. Separate polling data showed that those Americans are also more likely to oppose vaccine mandates including Biden’s recent order requiring the jab for millions of workers.

“Unfortunately, this disproportionately harms people of lower socioeconomic groups,” Jeffrey Singer, a health policy expert at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked about Biden’s vaccine mandate. “A significant number of people who don’t want to get vaccinated are mainly of lower socioeconomic status.”

“At this point, I think it runs the risk of doing more harm than good,” Singer added.

Just 66% of U.S. adults with less than a college degree have been vaccinated, fewer than the 76% of total adults who have received a vaccination, according to a Sept. 10-13 Morning Consult poll. Meanwhile, 84% and 88% of adults with a bachelor’s degree and graduate degree respectively have been vaccinated.

About 11% of adults with some college education or an associate degree, 14% of adults with a high school diploma and 14.6% of those with less than a high school diploma reported being hesitant to get vaccinated, the Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey found. By comparison, 5% of those with at least a bachelor’s degree are hesitant.

Biden ordered the Department of Labor last week to issue a rule forcing businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccinations at their workplace. The order, which applies to more than 81.1 million Americans, allows workers to choose to submit weekly tests to their employer instead of getting vaccinated.

The White House hasn’t clarified if private sector workers who choose not to be vaccinated will be expected to pay for the weekly tests. Some experts have predicted that employers will be allowed to choose whether to pay for the tests or not, The New York Times reported.

The Labor Department didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment on how weekly tests will be paid for.

Biden’s vaccine mandate for private sector workers doesn’t apply to those who work from home, according to the Miami Herald.

The president also issued executive orders requiring federal employees and contractors to be fully vaccinated by Nov. 22, 2021, the White House said. There are an estimated 4.2 million full-time federal employees, according to the Congressional Research Service.

“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated, even though the vaccine is safe, effective, and free,” Biden said during Sept. 9 remarks at the White House.

“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he added later in his speech.

Thirty-six percent of Americans with less than a college degree said they opposed Biden’s rule forcing private sector employees to get vaccinated, the recent Morning Consult poll showed. Those with a Bachelor’s degree and those with a graduate degree opposed it at a rate of 29% and 23% respectively.

On the question of vaccine mandates more broadly, 43% of adults with less than a college degree agreed that mandates violate the rights of Americans, according to the poll. Thirty-one percent of adults with a Bachelor’s degree and 25% with a graduate degree agreed.

Labor unions and trade groups representing working class Americans have come out in opposition to Biden’s vaccine mandate.

“These proposed requirements—however well-intentioned—threaten to cause further disruptions throughout the supply chain, impeding our nation’s COVID response efforts and putting the brakes on any economic revival,” American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear said in a statement.

“If these mandates are designed to protect Americans, then why the discriminatory 100-employee threshold, picking winners and losers for both employees and employers?” he continued.

The Pope and Civil Unions

Fr. Gerald E. Murray: Pope Francis’ renewed endorsement of same-sex civil unions is gravely scandalous and causes immense harm to souls. 


In the course of the in-flight press conference after his Apostolic Journey to Hungary and Slovakia, Pope Francis was asked: “[Y]esterday arrived news of a resolution in the European Parliament which invites the member states to recognize same-sex marriages and related parenting relationships. Holy Father, what are your thoughts on this?”  The pope responded by defending marriage as a sacrament: “I have spoken clearly about this: marriage is a sacrament, marriage is a sacrament. And the Church does not have the power to change the sacraments. They are thus, as the Lord has instituted [for] us.” But he also endorsed civil unions for homosexuals

Prior to and apart from its elevation by Christ to that sacramental reality, marriage is a natural reality willed by God in the act of creating the first man and woman. Natural marriage between the unbaptized must be given legal recognition and protection, irrespective of the status that marriage enjoys as a sacrament between the baptized. This means that any legal innovation by the state that offends against the unique dignity and value of marriage – be it sacramental or non-sacramental – between one man and one woman, such as same-sex “marriage” or its legal equivalent in the form of civil unions, must be resisted by the Church. Such innovations are offensive to God and harmful to the common good.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons (2003), approved by Pope John Paul II, states:

Laws in favor of homosexual unions are contrary to right reason because they confer legal guarantees, analogous to those granted to marriage, to unions between persons of the same sex. . . .The inevitable consequence of legal recognition of homosexual unions would be the redefinition of marriage, which would become, in its legal status, an institution devoid of essential reference to factors linked to heterosexuality; for example, procreation and raising children. If, from the legal standpoint, marriage between a man and a woman were to be considered just one possible form of marriage, the concept of marriage would undergo a radical transformation, with grave detriment to the common good. By putting homosexual unions on a legal plane analogous to that of marriage and the family, the State acts arbitrarily and in contradiction with its duties.

Pope Francis, however, interprets the legal recognition of same-sex marriages as “laws that try to help the situation of many people of different sexual orientations. And this is important, to help these people, but without imposing things that by their nature do not enter in the Church. But if they want to support a homosexual couple in life together, states have the possibility of civilly supporting them, of giving security through inheritance, health [insurance].”

Is it the mission of the Church’s pastors to imply that the legalization of same-sex “marriage,” or its de facto equivalent same-sex civil unions, is primarily an effort to “help” or “support” people who embrace the homosexual lifestyle? The plain answer is “no.” The state can grant such legal benefits as it wants to citizens without creating counterfeit versions of marriage. Don’t two people who enter into a homosexual relationship need to be reminded that they are living in grave sin?

Confirming two men or two women who publicly pledge their commitment to engage in the gravely disordered act of sodomy in the illusion that they are somehow entitled to receive legal status and the benefits previously recognized as accruing only to married couples is manifestly contrary to the mission of the Church. Such unions are morally harmful to the people involved and to society as a whole. Any approval by the Church of these arrangements is an anti-evangelical endorsement of behavior offensive to God. Claiming that the state is trying to do something good by treating the grave immorality of homosexual relations is a profound error that undermines the supernatural mission of the Church.

Pope Francis says: “But marriage is marriage. This is not to condemn people who are like that, no, please, they are our brothers and sisters, and we must accompany them. But marriage as a sacrament is clear, it is clear. . . .Sometimes what I have said is confusing. All the same, respect everyone. The good Lord will save everyone – do not say this aloud [laughs] – but the Lord wants to save everyone.”

There is no doubt that the Lord wants to save everyone, but the Church has never taught that “[t]he good Lord will save everyone.” The only obstacle to any person’s salvation is grave sin. Sodomy is a grave sin. The Church is called by God to teach this truth to everyone, and in particular to those who fall into this sin. The Christian accompaniment of those who are living in sin never means saying that their immoral lifestyle deserves public recognition and support by the state. Such an endorsement bolsters the false claim that people have a right to homosexual activity, a right that the state must respect.  Their salvation will be hindered, not promoted, if the Church in any way gives the impression that she supports a lifestyle that is gravely sinful and socially destructive.

“The denial of the social and legal status of marriage to forms of cohabitation that are not and cannot be marital is not opposed to justice; on the contrary, justice requires it.” So taught Pope John Paul II. So has the Church has always taught.

Pope Francis’ renewed endorsement of same-sex civil unions is gravely scandalous and causes immense harm to souls. There is no basis in Catholic teaching or pastoral practice to support his mistaken notion that the Church should endorse and praise civil union laws that give legal sanction to the homosexual lifestyle and grant to the act of sodomy a legal significance that, in truth and justice, only belongs to the marital union of husband and wife.

REPORT: Ivermectin obliterated 97% of Covid cases in Delhi, India

On June 1, the Desert Review News reported that Ivermectin had obliterated 97 percent of Covid infections in India’s capitol territory, Delhi (pop. 30 million).

The chart below shows that Delhi was experiencing more than 20,000 new cases daily in early May. By the end of the month, new cases had dropped precipitously, to a 7-day average of less than 1,500 new cases daily.

On Sept. 18, the Indian Express reported that Delhi hadonly 33 new Covid cases and only one new death in the previous 24 hours.

What reportedly happened in Delhi is anecdotal evidence that Ivermectin can play an important role in mitigating Covid. Anecdotal, yes, but quite impressive results if the reports are accurate.

The FDA has not approved Ivermectin for treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Democrats ridicule Ivermectin as a “horse de-worming” medication. In fact, there are two forms of Ivermectin, one of which is used to de-worm horses. The other, which received a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015, is a repurposed formula used to disrupt transmission of malaria among humans. It is this latter form that reportedly has had significant results in the fight against Covid.

The beef against Ivermectin may ultimately be nothing more than (1) its cheap price, which prevents Big Pharma from making billions on less effective and more highly priced alternatives, and (2) its apparent effectiveness undercuts the Biden administration’s transparent attempt to keep voters in a heightened state of Covid fear through the 2022 elections.

ANOTHER INTRIGUING STORY ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS

According to WorldOMeter, as of Sept. 19, China has had 95,689 coronavirus cases and 4,636 deaths since early 2020, while the U.S., with a population one-fourth as large as China’s, has recorded 42,869,445 cases and 691,562 deaths.

The following chart shows that since mid-April of 2020, China’s active cases have been in a virtual flatline of less than 1,000 per day…

The chart below shows that since early May of 2020, daily active cases in the U.S. have remained in the millions:

China has been known to put out misleading information about Covid, as has the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the Biden administration. Assuming the statistics above are reasonably accurate, the coronavirus has had a far more devastating impact on America than on the much more populous country where it is believed to have originated.

What can possibly explain such a wide disparity? Perhaps the Gatestone Institute article “Biden Letting China Get Away with the Crime of the Century” provides a possible clue in this excerpt:

“China’s military is working on the next generation of pathogens. Its National Defense University, in the 2017 edition of the authoritative Science of Military Strategy, mentioned a new kind of biological warfare of “specific ethnic genetic attacks.” China’s military researchers and analysts for a half decade have been writing about pathogens of this sort, and American officials are in fact concerned that Chinese scientists have been experimenting with, in the words of Bill Gertz of the Washington Times, “germ weapons capable of attacking ethnic groups.” Beijing’s determined campaign to collect genetic profiles of foreigners … is another indication that the Chinese military, in violation of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention, is building ethnic-specific bioweapons.”

Was Covid-19 an ethnic-specific bioweapon? I have no idea and am not saying it was, only wondering why Biden seems so reluctant to demand a serious investigation into its origin.

Idaho Afghan Refugee Arrested

An Idaho man who is a convicted rapist was arrested by authorities while trying to reenter our country from Afghanistan. The Afghan refugee lived in Idaho, where he was convicted of rape in Ada County in 2010, reports the Washington Times.

Ghader Heydari served time in Idaho before being released and deported. The issue of Afghan refugees coming to the state of Idaho following President Biden’s orders has been a point of contention between state lawmakers and the administration. The Idahoans expressed concern over the vetting process for the Afghans coming to Idaho. The governor said that he would ask the state police to help with the vetting process.

Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue spoke to the Washington Times, saying that Heydair is a threat and Joe Biden brought him back to America. “We’re going to pay for this for some time, possibly for decades, and as law enforcement, we’re kind of that first line of defense out here,” he said. “These people are coming into the country without a thorough vetting process, and I don’t believe there is one being done thoroughly. We stand to have a whole bunch of law enforcement respond to tragic events, up to and including terrorist activity, on our soil.”

The Biden Administration announced that over 400 Afghan refugees would arrive in Boise and Twin Falls. The president has been criticized for his lack of direction for ending the war in Afghanistan. No word on how thorough the vetting process is for those leaving Afghanistan.

The Washington Times reports that Heydair is being held by ICE. The state Commission on pardons and parole is taking action in the case.

Endnote:  I’ll post news like this from time (news that isn’t widely covered by other news outlets).  However, there isn’t much I or anyone can do or say that will change our dreadful state of affairs.  When I began writing this blog the frauds and crooks were mostly petty in comparison to what we face today at the national level and frankly it is all pretty hopeless right now.

I do write a bit more often at RRW where I can at least give readers some historical perspective as Biden moves forward to change America by changing the people.
