Dr. Anthony Fauci is getting roasted all over social media after the Washington Post and BuzzFeed released scores of his emails, obtained through FOIA requests. The ones that aren’t heavily redacted tell quite a story. It should come as no surprise to readers of PJ Media that Dr. Fauci didn’t believe the line of crap he sold us about wearing “the typical mask you buy in the drugstore” to protect us from the virus—at least he didn’t in Feb. 2020.
“Masks are really for infected people to protect them from spreading infection
Israeli health officials have found a “possible link” between the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine and hundreds of cases of myocarditis in young men, the government announced Wednesday.
"There is some probability for a possible link between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis," or inflammation of the heart linked to viral infection, among men ages 16 to 30, the Israeli health ministry reported. "In most cases, myocarditis took the form of mild illness that passed within a few days."
Cases of myocarditis were most common in younger men, ages 16 to 19, usually after the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine, health officials added.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday issued a disaster declaration in response to several hundred thousand immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through Texas since President Joe Biden’s border policies began in January.
The five-page order comes roughly two months after Abbott initiated Operation Lonestar on March 6, directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to protect Texans from increased crime being committed by immigrants.
Abbott’s order directs DPS to enforce all federal and state criminal laws, including criminal trespassing, smuggling and human trafficking. The legislature just passed a biennial budget, which allocates an additional $1 billion to fund DPS border security efforts.
Abbott’s order also directs
Jonathan Turley, one of the last honest and principled liberals in the public arena, suggests that the Democrats' threats to bully the justices are backfiring and that the Court is sending strong warning signals to them. In a post to his own website yesterday, the George Washington University law professor wrote:
Chief Justice John Roberts and his colleagues seem to be sending a message that the Court is not so rigidly ideological as Democratic members and activists suggest.
He believes that a series of unanimous court decisions as the current term ends "seem[s] to be sending a message that the Court is not so rigidly
Springfield, Ohio—Despite Governor Mike DeWine sharing that two suspects were in custody after a shooting in Springfield, police have yet to corroborate his claim. They are asking that anyone with information come forward so that they can help bring closure to the victims and keep the streets safe. The shooting started shortly after 1:45 a.m. Wednesday morning. Six people were sent to the hospital, one person was taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital after being shot in the chest. The victims range in age from 20 to 25.(Snip) The young man being celebrated had been lost to violence a few years prior.
Barack and Michelle Obama are creating a Netflix animated series designed to “reframe” how children think about government and civic engagement, with musical performances by artists including Adam Lambert, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Janelle Monáe.Netflix announced the ten-episode We the People is set to debut July 4. The Obamas, who have an ongoing production deal with Netflix, are serving as executive producers on the series, along with Doc McStuffins creator Chris Nee and ABC’s Black-ish creator Kenya Barris.In a press release sent to multiple news outlets, the streamer called the show “an exuberant call to action for everyone to rethink civics as a living, breathing thing
TULSA, Okla. — The City of Tulsa resumed its search Wednesday of a cemetery for possible victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Crews worked to define the boundaries of a mass-grave feature that was discovered in October at the Oaklawn Cemetery. State archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck said crews were able to locate three of the four corners of the mass-grave feature, giving searchers an overall sense of its dimensions. She said searchers have also determined there are three additional burials in the area, bringing to 15 the number of coffins they’ve found at the site. The search began last year
The chairwoman of the Republican Party warned that she would advise the GOP's 2024 White House nominee to skip the presidential debates without numerous reforms from the commission that organizes them.Ronna McDaniel, in a three-page letter sent Tuesday to the Commission on Presidential Debates, slammed the organizers of the 2020 debates for what she called 'repeated missteps and partisan actions.'

Upon visiting Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday to commemorate the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, President Joe Biden appeared to be moving away from supporting potential slavery reparations.According to a report by Politico, Biden discussed racism in his speech on Tuesday, but he did not mention the potential to create reparations for the massacre survivors or their descendants or acknowledge his support for H.R. 40, a bill that would address slavery and establish a commission to study reparations. H.R. 40 was voted out of the House Judiciary Committee earlier this year,

Bree Newsome, a Black Lives Matter activist, went on a Twitter tirade about white people who allegedly stole land at some time in history from black people and she wants it back.“Amazing how white people commit atrocities in one generation & then they just disappear from existence. No descendants, no names, no current wealth or land holdings that can be identified as a result of the atrocity. Only Black survivors exist with living memory, apparently,” she said in one of her tweets as she called for reparations. (Tweet)
In one of my favorite stories of how the hastily adopted mail-in voting systems failed during the pandemic year of 2020, over 223,000 ballots mailed out to voters in Clark County, Nevada, were returned as undeliverable during the Democratic primary there last year due to incorrect or out-of-date addresses on the voter rolls.(Snip) The state’s Democrats apparently think mail-in voting was so hitch-free in 2020 that every election from here on in ought to work like that.According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the state Assembly voted last week to approve Assembly Bill 321, legislation that would make universal mail-in balloting permanent. The state Senate added its stamp of approval

In March, she left that job behind after more than two decades, explaining that she no longer felt “proud” to work as a member of the media. She soon expounded upon what led her to leave her anchor job behind in a March interview with The Western Journal.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., shared two words in response to news of unearthed emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Thousands of emails obtained by Buzzfeed News and hundreds more reviewed by The Washington Post through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show Fauci's responses to both critiques and high praise as he worked to communicate the dangers of COVID-19 to the U.S. as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"Told you," Paul wrote in a Tuesday tweet with the hashtag #firefauci.
He added in another tweet: "Can’t wait to see the media try to spin the Fauci FOIA emails."
A huge blaze has broken out at an oil refinery in southern Tehran just hours after one of Iran's largest naval ships sank after catching fire in the Gulf of Oman. Officials said the fire at the Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. was an accident, blaming a leak in a liquefied gas line that triggered an explosion. The cause of the leak is unclear. Intense flames and plumes of black smoke that had been visible from far across the capital were gradually being brought under control on Wednesday evening, several hours after the fire broke out. The cause of the fire on the British-built fleet replenishment vessel Kharg is still

Within the emails we discover, Fauci had some urgent, time sensitive discussions about “gain of function” research; the weaponization of the COVID virus. Fauci also told colleagues “retail masks don’t work” as protection from COVID due to the molecular size of the virus. Also the emails reveal that Anthony Fauci was very well aware the outbreak came from a possible lab leak.

Diamondbacks TV analyst Bob Brenly on Wednesday apologized for an insensitive comment directed toward Marcus Stroman that he issued a night earlier. During the Mets’ 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks in 10 innings, Brenly questioned the headwear Stroman was wearing beneath his cap, saying “I’m sure that is the same du-rag that Tom Seaver used to wear when he pitched for the Mets.”
Stroman, later on Twitter, indicated his displeasure with the underlying racial comment.(Snip)“During (Tuesday) night’s game I made a poor attempt at humor that was insensitive and wrong,”
President Biden on Wednesday will make his 12th trip to Delaware since taking office to spend two nights at his beach house.
The trip to Rehoboth Beach will end a short work week for Biden, who returned to DC on Monday morning after spending most of Memorial Day weekend at his home in Wilmington, Del.
The beach trip will coincide with first lady Jill Biden’s 70th birthday on Thursday.
The trip was first reported upon notice of a Federal Aviation Administration notice restricting local airspace from Wednesday to Friday.
The White House did not immediately offer a comment on the trip.
The media mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist government touted the country’s “urgent” goal to expand its arsenal of long-range nuclear missiles in anticipation of an “intense showdown” with the US.
“As the US strategic containment of China has increasingly intensified, I would like to remind again that we have plenty of urgent tasks, but among the most important ones is to rapidly increase the number of commissioned nuclear warheads, and the DF-41s, the strategic missiles that are capable to strike long-range and have high-survivability, in the Chinese arsenal,” wrote Hu Xijian, the editor of the Global Times.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was warned that the coronavirus had possibly been “engineered” and appeared to be taking reports about it seriously—at the same time he was publicly downplaying the notion of the virus being created in a lab, according to his emails. Meanwhile, Fauci, America’s top expert in infectious diseases, also got a “personal thank you” for backing the “natural origin” theory from the head of a nonprofit that used a $3.4 million government grant to fund research at the Chinese lab suspected of creating the virus, the emails show. On Jan. 31, 2020—more than two months before the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic
Is the Galactic Empire secretly pulling the strings behind America’s newest military department? A recent photograph of a high-ranking Air Force officer transferring into the U.S. Space Force is prompting questions that Pentagon officials are hesitant to answer. In the official Department of Defense photograph, Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt is sworn into the U.S. Space Force at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Closely monitoring the event are a pair of Storm Troopers, the ruthless infantry soldiers of the Empire along with a member of the dreaded Red Guard, Emperor Palpatine’s personal security detail. On Wednesday, reporters grilled top Pentagon officials about the unusual photograph.
John Hinckley Jr., the gunman who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in a bid to win actress Jodie Foster’s heart, has traded his six-shooter for a six-string — racking up thousands of views on YouTube with his guitar renditions of sentimental love songs.Hinckley, now 66, won a lengthy court battle last year, freeing him to publicly display his music, writings and other art, and potentially make a living in the recording industry.Since then, Hinckley has published a half-dozen videos to a YouTube channel bearing his real name, starting with a performance of an original composition titled “Majesty of Love.”
While the Democrats have high, if not delusional hopes of fundamentally changing every aspect of American life, from federal voting dictates to essentially outlawing sub-contracting, the actual rules of the Senate have stood in their way. The filibuster, which Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema (among others who are laying low) have pledged to not touch, means that Chuck Schumer and his merry band can’t force through things on a simple 50-50 vote. The Democrats were given a shot of life a few months ago, though, in the form of a parliamentarian ruling that Schumer claimed greenlit most of his agenda. I expressed skepticism at the time in an article discussing
The Senate parliamentarian issued a new ruling that would effectively allow Democrats to use automatic budget reconciliation just one more time this year to bypass Republicans to advance President Biden’s progressive agenda.
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a revision to the 2021 budget resolution cannot be automatically discharged from the Senate Budget Committee, according to The Hill. This means that Democrats would need at least one Republican on the 11-11 panel to vote with them if they want to use reconciliation on more than one occasion before the legislative session ends in October.

MSNBC is facing criticism over an on-screen graphic reading 'Texas Two Step' that appeared over an image of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair.Known in the industry as a chyron or lower third, the graphic appeared on Tuesday's episode of Andrea Mitchell Reports during a teaser for a segment on Texas Republicans' push for tougher election laws. The pairing of the name of the 'two-step' country-western dance with an image of Abbott in his wheelchair drew instant outrage and accusations that MSNBC was mocking the Republican governor's disability.'No class,' remarked Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, in a tweet.
Donald Trump has permanently shut down the website he used to get around his social media ban and where he posted his statements after just 29 days. 'From the Desk of Donald J.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott clapped back at President Joe Biden for calling GOP election reform bills 'un-American' by pointing out that Texas currently has more early voting hours than Delaware. 'The voter law in the state of Texas is far more accommodative and provides far more hours to vote than it does in President Biden's home state of Delaware, where he voted in the last election, where they offer exactly zero early voting days,' Abbott said Tuesday to The Dallas Morning News. 'If there's any voter suppression taking place, the easier allegation is say that voter suppression has taken place in Delaware, not Texas.'

Brewer Anheuser-Busch announced on Wednesday that it is teaming up with the White House to offer its 'biggest beer giveaway ever' if 70 percent of American adults have had at least one vaccine by July 4 but the offer has a catch: only 200,000 people will reap the benefits of free booze.
The free beer is part of a 'month of action' that President Joe Biden is announcing to get more shots into arms before the July 4 holiday - which he has previously hoped would be the celebration of the 'independence from COVID'.

Since the previous century I’ve been articulating in the public arena an array of interconnecting ideas about how the world works. For example, I tend to suspect that racial differences in achievement in 2021 have more to do with nature and nurture, with culture and human biodiversity, than with unspecifiable malevolence on the part of white men as dictated by the theory of systemic racism.
(Note that I don’t put very much effort into telling you how I think the world should work, just how it does work. At least, the latter’s testable.)
One of Iran’s largest warships caught fire and sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman during a “training mission”—as a series of mysterious explosions have targeted commercial vessels in the sensitive region since 2019. The British-built Kharg, which measured more than 650 feet long, erupted into flames Tuesday off the strategic port of Jask, Reuters reported. The ship was in “domestic waters” during “a training mission,” said the navy’s head of public relations, Behzad Jahanian, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency. No further details were given and Jahanian said the cause of the blaze was “still not clear.” After an unsuccessful rescue mission,

On February 17, 2020, just three weeks after covid 19 splashed onto the world scene, the Washington Post dismissed as a debunked conspiracy theory that Red China cooked the Wuhan Virus up in its biomedical lab. The Post attacked any public official who dared raise that possibility.
At my kindest, I would say the Post acted in ignorance.
But given its history of running Red China's propaganda (which Red China paid handsomely to run) and its promotion of communism in its editorials and news stories, I realize there were more nefarious reasons for the Jeff Bezos and his newspaper instantly rejecting any possibility of biomedical warfare by Red China.

In a wide-ranging interview, former President Barack Obama reflected on right-wing backlash to the election of the nation’s first Black president that saw the emergence of Donald Trump and acceleration of a “shift” in the Republican Party. “That’s been the history of America, right?” he told Ezra Klein in The New York Times. “There is abolition, and the Civil War, and then there’s backlash, and the rise of the KKK, and then Reconstruction ends, and Jim Crow arises, and then you have a civil rights movement, a modern civil rights movement, and desegregation,” he said. Mr Obama added: “What I
The 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, in which black residents were murdered in bloody riots, was an opportunity for Joe Biden to be the uniter he promised to be. Instead the president gave a speech with more partisan ire than lofty ideas; more condemnation of America than belief in it.
The horror of Tulsa, where at least 39 died and likely many more as whites burned down “Black Wall Street,” is a too-often forgotten dark chapter of our history, and it’s right to highlight it.But Biden suggested that the nation hasn’t come very far in the past century, and diminished the tragedy by pretending today’s voting laws are somehow equivalent.

In a stunning development, federal prosecutors are suddenly moving to drop all charges against Jan. 6 protester Chris Kelly whom the FBI falsely claimed entered the Capitol building that fateful day. “The government and defense counsel have discussed the merits of the case and upon reflection of the facts currently known to the government, the government believes that dismissal without prejudice at this time serves the interest of justice,” prosecutors wrote. The judge has not signed off on the case dismissal yet. A dismissal without prejudice means that the government could bring charges against Kelly again in the future if things change.

Last week, we learned that Facebook had been banning posts suggesting that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab.

The GOP must die. The Grand Old Party is over and unsalvageable. The name finds its origin in the post-Civil War era as the party that saved the Union, but whatever positive connotations may have come with the GOP moniker are dead and gone now. Today, GOP conjures images of gray hairs at the country club and board meetings at Halliburton, and it seems the only thing it is nterested in saving is the status quo. There was a time when these perceptions could be dismissed as partisan pejoratives, but at some point, Republican Party leadership chose to embrace and embody the characterization.

If that is so, how can it be that government officials are encouraging pre-pubescent children, with or without parental consent, to make life-altering decisions that lack a firm scientific foundation? It all starts in schools (snip) How many gender dysphoric children today and tomorrow will be encouraged to undergo detrimental experimental medical therapies because they were prescribed the wrong “cure” by social justice government advocates blazing blindly forward on a path to sexual-orientation equality? Potentially millions.
The Washington Post thought it was doing the Lord’s work in fluffing Dr. Fauci’s reputation with an article about 866 pages of emails produced pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request. The emails purportedly give a window on Fauci’s world in the thick of the 2020 global pandemic, and how he handled things under the pressure of that Bad Orange Man.
You see, for the American public, the bloom is off the rose. Oh, you will always have your Cult of Fauci and people who believe that had it not been for Fauci, the entire nation would have been dead.
We saw after BLM/Antifa rioting and demanding to “defund the police,” that the cities that moved in that direction saw a big spike in crime, shootings and murders. Among the people being adversely affected by this, black people. So the very people BLM claims they’re fighting for with all this are some of the people being harmed by the defunding as well as the rioting. We’ve been reporting on this for months but the Washington Post appears to have just discovered it, as we reported earlier.
But this isn’t the only place where the left and the media are getting it wrong.
The Republican Party successfully captured the record for ‘Worst Political Strategy in World History.’ There is no way they could have performed any worse. What were they thinking?It’s pretty clear after decades of failures and the rise of the Marxist left in the US that Republicans are not the brightest politicians and strategists.They somehow stumble into wins. Their policies make sense and most Americans agree with these policies. But Republicans have a knack for losing even when wins are handed to them.
Well this sounds a little racist.
Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered a speech on the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Biden was being his old perverted, racist self on Tuesday.
He just can’t help himself.
Joe Biden made a racist remark during his speech after telling little girls in pigtails they would get ice cream if they sat through his speech.
“The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don’t have lawyers, they don’t have accountants, but they have great ideas,” Biden said.

Democrats and much of the media are pushing to make permanent the extraordinary, pandemic-driven measures to relax voting rules during the 2020 elections – warning anew of racist voter “suppression” otherwise. Yet democracies in Europe and elsewhere tell a different story – of the benefits of stricter voter ID requirements after hard lessons learned.
A database on voting rules worldwide compiled by the Crime Prevention Research Center, which I run, shows that election integrity measures are widely accepted globally, and have often been adopted by countries after they’ve experienced fraud under looser voting regimes.
The US could be hit with beef shortages and price rises after the world's largest meat producer was forced to close all of its plants due to a cyber attack which the White House has blamed on Russian hackers. JBS - which supplies 20 per cent of all beef and pork in the US - warned the Memorial Day weekend hack could disrupt its supply chains and increase prices up up to 30 per cent.JBS received a demand from 'a criminal organization likely based in Russia' following the attack that has affected its operations in Australia and North America, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
The editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is stepping down after a tweet promoting a podcast that questioned whether systemic racism exists in medicine stoked harsh backlash on Twitter.
Dr. Howard Bauchner will leave his job at the end of June after a decade at the helm of the prestigious journal and its network of publications run by the AMA. A statement released by AMA quotes Bauchner as saying that he did not write the controversial tweet or have any role in the creation of the podcast that triggered the uproar.
