Do Jim Jordan's rants actually
accomplish anything meaningful?

“You’re ranting again.” — Dr. Anthony Fauci “I’m not ranting.” — U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan “Yes, you are.” — Fauci Of course Jim Jordan was ranting. That’s what the Republican congressman from Urbana does. His exertions at a hearing Thursday of the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis even earned him a gaveling from the Democratic chairman of the committee when he exceeded his time limit and an admonition from another Democratic member “to respect the chair and shut your mouth.” Still, he persisted and eventually got Fauci to provide useful parameters for assessing whether and when measures intended to limit

The University of Pittsburgh is growing scalps from aborted babies on lab rodents.
This is straight from a horror movie.(Snip)A new video from the Center for Medical Progress exposes a gristly experiment at the University of Pittsburgh that involved scalping five-month aborted babies and implanting their scalps onto rodents.(Snip)… a number of the experiments using aborted baby body parts at the university are funded by U.S. taxpayers through the National Institutes of Health and, in particular, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases office, CMP found in its investigation.
As soon as government started controlling the behavior of people under the justification of COVID fear, there was a natural conclusion evident to the issues.(Snip)The leftist pattern of framing your demand for individual freedom and liberty as selfish, has permeated throughout the COVID narrative.(Snip)The argument is actually quite silly. If your vaccine protects you from COVID; and if the vaccine actually does do what the government and media tell you it does; then why would you be worried about someone else’s vaccine status? If the vaccine works, presumably you are protected; my not being vaccinated does not increase your risk or pose a threat.
A Columbus, Ohio, Back the Blue rally scheduled for Saturday has been postponed amid security concerns, and Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has described the lack of security as being part of a coordinated attempt to make rally attendees look bad. Greene, who was supposed to headline the event, said she received "incredibly disturbing and infuriating" information from the organizers. She said the organizers were informed there would be a counter-protest by Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the company that manages the location of the rally would not provide security fencing to ensure the safety of the two groups.
Power back to the people

"Power to the People" was a chant used by anti-war and civil rights protesters in the '60s. John Lennon wrote a song with that title in 1971. The idea flowed from the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution which begins, "We the people." The concept behind that phrase was that the people, not the government, are sovereign and the government's power is granted to it by the governed. That has been reversed in our day as government has become evermore powerful, some would argue dictatorial, as demonstrated by restrictions on our liberties with the COVID-19 virus used as the excuse.

Brearley is a private all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Tuition costs $54,000 a year and prospective families apparently have to take an “anti-racism pledge” to be considered for admission. However, one family has had enough of the indoctrination machine and penned an eloquent letter explaining their reason for removing their daughter.(Snip). In short, we no longer believe that Brearley’s administration and Board of Trustees have any of our children’s best interests at heart.(Snip) It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearley’s obsession with race must stop.

The former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, believes the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If Dr. Redfield is correct--and he almost certainly is--then Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health must assume significant responsibility for a global pandemic that has killed over half-a-million Americans, kicked tens of millions of Americans to the unemployment curb and drained trillions of dollars of wealth from the American economy.(Snip)In 2017, without sufficient warning to the Trump White House, Dr, Fauci and his NIH colleague Dr. Francis Collins re-authorized
Hundreds of thousands of families who've lost someone to COVID-19 are eligible for some financial relief for funeral expenses. Starting Monday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will open applications for COVID-19-related funeral assistance. Eligible people can apply to recover up to $9,000 of qualifying funeral or burial expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020. Families with multiple deaths can recoup up to $35,000. The program is part of the latest COVID-19 relief bill.(Snip)”The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense grief for so many people. Although we cannot change what has happened, we affirm our commitment to help with funeral and burial expenses that many families did not anticipate."
Donica Thomas Varner, currently General Counsel at Oberlin College, has been appointed the General Counsel of Cornell University, it was just announced. Varner is the General Counsel of Oberlin College and was responsible for overseeing the Gibson’s Bakery litigation. Varner became infamous for an email she sent between the compensatory and punitive phases. We covered it in Oberlin College mass email criticizing Jurors could influence Punitive Damages Hearing in Gibson’s Bakery case: The statement was contained in a mass email sent to alumni (and possibly others) criticizing the jury verdict and repeating the same stale defenses that failed at trial (emphasis added):
In a double-barreled blast at the coronavirus crisis, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene today offered bills to ban COVID-19 vaccination mandates such as those called for in vaccine “passport” proposals and to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci.(Snip)In the Republican lawmaker's “We Will Not Comply” proposal, Greene would bar federal funding to any business or school that requires a vaccination or a mask. She said that vaccinations can be discriminatory against those who choose not to receive them, including those who cite religious objections.(Snip)The “Fire Fauci” legislation would cut the doctor’s pay to zero until a replacement is approved. He currently is the top paid federal worker at $434,312.
After months of speculation, today The Washington Post confirmed that the Biden regime is developing a “vaccine passport” that Americans may need to present to prove they have received their COVID-19 vaccine before they will be allowed to engage in commerce in a “return to normalcy” that looks nothing like the past.(Snip)The left wing newspaper also believes that the vaccines can be used to bully skeptical Americans into taking the controversial vaccines.(Snip)However, the Biden regime apparently wants this pressure to come entirely in the form of corporate interests requiring vaccines, and does not want to use the weight of the federal government to require the vaccine passports.

Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that churches, and particularly the evangelical movement that powered his election victories, have become too invested in political battles. “Churches have become, particularly the White evangelical churches, have become political instruments,” Mr. Bush said in a conversation at the Bush Center about immigration and his new book of portraits. He was being prodded by Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s ethics & religious liberty commission, who wondered why some religious adherents’ support for immigration in the U.S. has flagged.(Snip) The comments were striking for a president whose 2004 reelection campaign relied in part on energizing those White

It was so bad that people are now wondering what is wrong with Biden’s head. Literally.The founder of Grabien, a video aggregation service used by a number of online news sites, pointed out what appears to be a lump on Biden’s head.“Hi, @PressSec— Can you please share any insights into what’s happened with President Biden’s head?” Tom Elliott asked on Twitter.

Joy Behar told her co-hosts on Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” that Facebook upholding its ban of former President Donald Trump was like if Italy kept fascist leader Benito Mussolini from broadcasting on the radio in the 1940s.Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Joy, what about you? What are your thoughts on this?”Behar said, “You know, I think the First and Second Amendments both have limits. Even though I love the First Amendment like everybody else does.

The opinion editor of the Northwestern University’s student newspaper recently published an article asserting that White people walk awkwardly on sidewalks because of their internalized racism. (Snip)
Allen then asserted that “the formal rules of Jim Crow were accompanied by a set of informal ones that governed the way Black people approached White people in public space and vice versa.” This social order “required Black people to yield to White people whenever possible” -- such as “stepping off the sidewalk when a White person was walking past.”
History and controversy is expected to be made at the Tokyo Olympics this summer after the transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was effectively guaranteed a place in the women’s super heavyweight category. While the 43-year-old has not yet been named in the New Zealand team, an International Weightlifting Federation insider confirmed to the Guardian that she would automatically qualify because of amended rules approved by the International Olympic Committee.(Snip) However, a number of scientific papers have recently shown people who have undergone male puberty retain significant advantages in power and strength even after taking medication to suppress their testosterone levels. Hubbard lived as a male
Pfizer has hit out out at the Biden administration's support for waiving intellectual property protections to would allow poorer countries to produce vaccines developed by companies like it and Moderna, potentially cutting into the firms' profits. It comes just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle penned an open letter to vaccine makers urging them to suspend the patent protections to help developing countries gain access to the shots.(Snip) 'It is so wrong,' Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said of Biden's support of waivers on legal protections to keep his firm's Covid vaccine formula secret in a Wall Street Journal interview.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted Facebook as having too much power and “acting like they’re bigger than government” after the company decided to uphold its suspension of former President Donald Trump Wednesday. “I’m glad that he’s not on Facebook,” the Massachusetts Democrat told Cheddar News. “I think that he poses a real danger. But I don’t think that Facebook ought to have this kind of power. We need to break up these giant tech companies, and Facebook is one of them. “They are crushing competition,” she continued. “And in cases like Facebook, they’re acting like they’re bigger than government.(Snip) Facebook’s self-created “supreme court” said
The Incredible Vanishing Flu
21 replies
Seasonal influenza, also known as “the flu,” visits America every year, similar to tornados, thunderstorms, heat waves, and snowstorms. As tracked by the CDC, over the past decade symptomatic flu cases ranged from 9 to 45 million cases per year in the US. Hospitalizations varied from 140 to 810 thousand, and deaths from 12 to 61 thousand, depending on the particular year, strain of influenza, and effectiveness of the vaccine.
This year, “flu activity is unusually low at this time” according to CDC surveillance. Since late September 2020, they recorded only about 2000 cases, a minute fraction of the tens of millions of cases in past years.
The U.S. Department of Justice expressed concern Wednesday about ballot security and potential voter intimidation arising from the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate’s unprecedented private recount of the 2020 presidential election results in Maricopa County.
In a letter to GOP Senate President Karen Fann, the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said the Senate’s farming out of 2.1 million ballots from the state’s most populous county to a contractor may run afoul of federal law. [SNIP] And Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pamela S. Karlan said that the Senate contractor’s plans to directly contact voters could amount to illegal voter intimidation.

The Texas senate has approved in a 18–13 vote a bill to allow Texans to carry handguns without a license. House Bill 1927 would eliminate the requirement for Texas citizens to acquire a permit to carry handguns if they’re not prohibited by state or federal law from owning a firearm. The measure, already passed by the Texas House last week, now heads to a conference committee for the two chambers to debate amendments and settle differences until the House and Senate versions are identical. The bill will then go to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk for his final signature.
A photo of Kentucky State Police Troopers with the title, "Our color is gray, our gender is trooper," posted as a Facebook cover photo Tuesday has been called tone-deaf by many commenters, who said it's offensive to people of color and the transgender community.
