Biden claimed that when he was elected as vice president with President Barack Obama, the Joint Chiefs of Staff told them that global warming was the greatest threat to the United States.
“The military sat us down and let us know what the greatest threats facing America were, the greatest physical threats,” Biden recalled. “This is not a joke.

A visibly annoyed Dr. Anthony Fauci declared Wednesday that Republican “attacks” against him and how he‘s handled the coronavirus pandemic are “attacks on science.” “People want to fire me or put me in jail for what I’ve done, mainly followed the science,” the White House chief medical adviser told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. “I could spend the next half an hour going through each and every point that they make. It’s preposterous, Chuck. Totally preposterous.” “It’s very dangerous, Chuck, because a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” Dr. Fauci continued. “Because all of the things that I have spoken about

condition’ 32 replies
In May, the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association published research that asserts that being white is “a malignant, parasitic-like condition,” as well as a deranged and dangerous mental condition.The abstract for the paper states: “Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world. Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse.
The Biden administration is planning to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine to share with the rest of the world.

On Monday, Deutsche Bank released a report that further confirms a portent of doom for the U.S. economy and Democrats led by President Joe Biden. While many economists and policymakers claim that the recent uptick in inflation is temporary, Deutsche Bank warned that Biden’s profligate spending, the Federal Reserve’s low interest rates, and global economic trends threaten to unleash persistent inflation, which amounts to an insidious tax on the poor and middle class that benefits the government.
“Few still remember how our societies and economies were threatened by high inflation 50 years ago,”
Not a surprise.

A British newspaper source told The Daily Beast that a rare legal warning had gone out to the papers advising them not to repeat the allegation that Harry and Meghan had named their second child after Queen Elizabeth without asking her first.
A research article published last month in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association describes “whiteness” as a “malignant, parasitic-like condition” that makes the host person “voracious, insatiable, and perverse,” warning that there is “not yet a permanent cure.”“On Having Whiteness,” the apparently peer-reviewed article written by Dr. Donald Moss, a white male and a current faculty member of both the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis discussed, went viral on social media this week once it was discovered.The article’s abstract says the “condition” of “whiteness,” after one acquires it, gives the person
