Democrats failed to get the For The People Act through a Senate test vote on Tuesday after every single Republican voted against the bill that has been called a 'power grab' and a bid to orchestrate the 'federal takeover of elections'. All 50 Democrats voted in favor, including key swings Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. And all 50 Republicans voted against beginning debate on a revised 'For the People Act.' 'Today every single Democratic senator stood together in the fight to protect the right to vote in America,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote, also vowing to explore 'every last one of our options.'
It’s neck – and neck – and neck! New Yorkers streamed to the voting booths on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the Big Apple’s hotly contested Democratic mayoral primary — and while it will be a couple of weeks before a winner can be declared, early results showed a three-way race.The first round of the Democratic mayoral primary had Eric Adams (69,000 votes), Kathryn Garcia (54,593 votes) and Maya Wiley (48,822 votes) — with just six percentage points separating all three of the candidates, early returns from the Board of Elections show. Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, had 29 percent of the 183,000 ballots cast

Retailer Ikea is under fire after one of its stores reportedly sent out a lunch menu for a Juneteenth celebration that is said to have featured certain dishes that perpetuate racial stereotypes. An Atlanta Ikea store sent a letter to employees last week to inform them of the celebration, which allegedly included a note about a "special menu" including items like fried chicken, watermelon and other foods with ties to racism, as reported by local CBS affiliate. The meal was intended as an internal celebration for store workers, not for customers. A spokesperson for Ikea told FOX Business that to
It’s over, and we are thankful.It was a 50-50 procedural vote along party lines, but H.R. 1/S.1, the supposed “For the People Act” has been blocked by Senate Republicans. Sixty votes were needed in order to open debate on this legislation before entering into a vote on the actual bill. Because the Republicans were able to successfully filibuster, that 60 vote threshold was not met. The legislation is now dead on the Senate floor.(Tweet/Video) Any way you slice it, if H.R. 1/S.1 had passed, it would have been a wholesale takeover of elections by Federal fiat. Democrats and the Left have been alarmed at the election integrity measures that
Remember Christopher Steele?The author of the infamous 2016 “dossier” was an impeccably credentialed former British intelligence officer who, we were assured, had the goods on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. Nearly every major news and opinion outlet vouched for his reputation and reliable sources inside the Kremlin.Steele frequently was described as an “ex-spy” in charge of a well-respected global consulting firm in London; he was alternatively a victim of Trump’s public taunts and a hero willing to risk his life and reputation to spare America the election of a Putin puppet.Steele’s work was validated not only by the news media and Democratic politicians who described the dossier as “raw intelligence”
It’s May 2018, and Robert Hunter Biden is trawling through his favorite Los Angeles escort sites. He orders “Yanna,” a 24-year-old Russian native from Emerald Fantasy Girls.“Russian, Green Eyes, Thin Brunette, an elite courtesan,” is Yanna’s pitch, along with a menu of sex acts.“Hi, My name is Rob. I’m staying at Chateau Marmont. Are you available now?” (Snip) All of these messages, all of these pictures, are saved on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which he treats like a diary, storing every e-mail and text conversion, his financial records, and
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will name a Democrat-led select committee to investigate the Capitol riot. Pelosi made the announcement during a closed-door meeting of the Steering and Policy Committee on Tuesday evening, according to two sources familiar with the discussions who spoke to Politico. CNN reported Tuesday night that she would set up the panel after Republicans blocked a 9/11-style commission in the Senate.The announcement was released just moments after Senate Republicans blocked the Democrats' bid to advance the For The People Act voting rights bill.Every Republican Senator voted against the proposal which need 60 votes to pass the filibuster.
Over the weekend, The Washington Post joined the Christopher Rufo smear campaign. He’s a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has become the face of public opposition to critical race theory. The article’s misrepresentations led to a story “clarification” that doesn’t go far enough.The article, written by “reporters” Laura Meckler and Josh Dawsey, is predictable and appalling in its failure to accurately define critical race theory and how Rufo has exposed it.WaPo’s piece is a part of the left’s response to stinging critiques of the open racism embodied in critical race theory, which has led to Rufo and others being targeted in The Atlantic, The New York Times,
Scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have determined in new research that the Earth’s atmosphere has been trapping an “unprecedented” amount of heat, with the planet’s energy imbalance approximately doubling from 2005 to 2019.
Senate Republicans blocked a signature Democrat election bill that would radically transform America’s electoral system and grant the federal government more control over the country’s elections.The Senate voted 50-50, failing to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the debate on S. 1, the For the People Act. This prevents the Senate from voting on the legislation. The legislation would federalize America’s electoral system, which has drawn strong opposition from Republicans.The legislation would: Federalize control over congressional elections; Declare that standard state and local maintenance of elections systems, such as purging ineligible voters from voter rolls, limiting vote-by-mail, requiring voter ID, and
Kamala Harris told left-wing activists to knock on doors to pressure people to get vaccinated as Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal is likely to fall short.The Biden Admin set a goal to fully vaccinate 70% of Americans by July 4th.Americans are refusing to get the Covid vaccine for many different reasons, but the Biden Admin is pushing for 70% vaccination so they can wield power over the unvaccinated. This has nothing to do with saving lives. It's all about power.
The White House on Tuesday acknowledged it will not meet its goal of having 70 percent of all American adults receive at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine by July 4, a rare setback for a president who has put the nation’s recovery from the pandemic at the center of his agenda.
It will be the second time the administration will miss a goal related to the pandemic — in part because it has repeatedly set objectives that are deliverable. Officials also indicated Monday that President Biden is likely to miss his target of shipping 80 million vaccines overseas by the end of the month, blaming it on logistical challenges.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — American authorities took down a range of Iran’s state-linked news websites under unclear circumstances on Tuesday, the U.S. and Iran said, a move that appeared to be a far-reaching crackdown on Iranian media amid heightened tensions between the two countries.
The U.S. seized roughly three dozen websites, the majority of which are linked to Iranian disinformation efforts, said a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case had not yet been officially announced by the American government.
Iranian state-run news agency IRNA announced the U.S. government seizures of the websites, without providing further information.
The takedowns come as world powers
On June 15, Massachusetts launched its exposure notification app, MassNotify. Within two days, the app had 500,000 sign-ins equal to 7% of the state’s population, reports The Boston Globe.
Comparatively, Alabama’s exposure notification app only had 150,000 downloads from August to November, says The Boston Globe.
The reason for Massachusetts’ success? Google automatically and silently installed the app on Android phones, reports The Verge.
Why was it downloaded automatically?
Android users in Massachusetts began noticing the app on their phones this last week without ever receiving a notification or downloading it themselves. Users began circulating their concerns on Reddit and in one-star app reviews, reports Arts Technica.
Senate Republicans on Tuesday used their filibuster power to block debate on Democrats’ sweeping federal elections bill, dealing a fatal blow to one of President Biden’s early major agenda items.
The measure failed in a 50-50 vote along party lines. However, even without Republicans’ use of the filibuster, the bill would have failed to pass as Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted to advance to debate but said he would vote against the measure unless a number of changes were made.
“This is a battle for the soul of America,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said. “We will keep fighting until we succeed.”
Black people represented the largest increase in traffic deaths last year than any other racial group, even as Americans drove less overall due to the pandemic, according to recently released data. (Snip) Along with the systemic nature of this problem, Gladney pointed out that social racism also plays a role in the rising number of traffic fatalities. A 2017 study from the University of Nevada found that drivers are less likely to slow down or stop for Black pedestrians than they are for white ones.
A New Jersey school board has reversed plans to remove all holiday names from their school calendar after parents expressed outrage at an emergency meeting on the decision.
The Randolph Board of Education voted 8-1 Monday to reinstate the holidays after dozens of members of the community voiced outrage during the public comment portion of the meeting.
Tom Tatem, a Randolph Township father of four who created a petition demanding school board members resign, and James Jacobi, a Randolph Township father of three, told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that the victory should be a lesson in transparency for towns across America.
Silverton, Colorado, Mayor Shane Fuhrman announced that the Pledge of Allegiance would be banned at trustee meetings and faced nearly immediate backlash.“Due to direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings and general divisiveness and issues created in our community, we will not be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during Town of Silverton trustee meetings,” he announced during the June 14 meeting, Fox 31 News reported.In response, attendees recited the pledge during the public comment period, FoxNews.com reported, causing the mayor to declare them out of order.
Mitch McConnell ripped Democrats' voting rights proposal on Tuesday, claiming it's a 'transparently partisan' effort that shows the left's 'disdain' for Americans.'Many Democrats would pass [H.R.1] with the slimmest possible majority, even after its companion faced bipartisan opposition over in the House,' McConnell said from the Senate floor on Tuesday.'What a craven political calculation. What a way to show your disdain for the American people's choices,' he added.The comments come as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer prepares to bring a procedural vote to the floor to begin debate on the For the People Act, which would expand voting rights and access.
In the last two days, three interesting stories have emerged from the Middle East. The first story is about Ebrahim "the Butcher" Raisi's election as president in Iran; the second is Israel's announcement that this election forces it to protect itself against this butcher; and the third is news that Iran's sole nuclear power plant abruptly shut down. The first and second stories are quite obviously connected. The real question is whether the third story is a promise of things to come or is just a coincidence.
That Raisi was going to be president is no surprise to regular American Thinker readers.
State agencies in Republican-controlled Indiana are providing taxpayer dollars and marketing assistance to a far-left organization that is bringing two prominent critical race theory activists to a statewide teachers’ conference this summer.
Indiana Black Expo, a group that bills itself as “celebrat[ing] cultural diversity and inclusiveness across all races, ethnicities, nationalities, generations, socioeconomic levels and religious affiliations,” will host its annual education conference from July 13 to 15. Dena Simmons and Dr. Bettina L. Love, two activists who frequently rake in thousands from taxpayers to lecture on “systemic racism,” will deliver keynote speeches. Both did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.
The judge presiding over the Fulton County election case was expected to rule on whether or not the inspection of physical ballots that were cast and tabulated during the 2020 election can proceed. Judge Brian Amero’s ruling will decide whether an independent election audit can go forward as planned.
During the high stakes proceedings, the petitioners made the case that the examination of the ballots should proceed as planned to determine if the fraudulent counting of double ballots occurred.
“We are uncertain as to the weight and value of our vote, my clients’ votes, going forward,” the claimants argued. “And that’s what we are trying to address.
Lawmakers in Sacramento are poised to extend statewide eviction protections beyond the end of June to ensure emergency rental aid reaches struggling tenants in time to cover potentially all of their unpaid rent during the pandemic, a move strongly backed by local renter advocates and met with resistance by many landlords. The underlying issue is that state and county governments have been slow to distribute the $2.6 billion in federal funds to cover back rent. In Sonoma County, officials have so far disbursed less than 10% of the $32 million set aside for its rental aid program. Renter advocates fear
On 30 April, the Indian Point nuclear power plant 30 miles north of New York City was shut down. For decades the facility provided the overwhelming majority of the city’s carbon-free electricity as well as good union jobs for almost a thousand people. Federal regulators had deemed the plant perfectly safe.(snip)The first full month without the plant has seen a 46% increase in the average carbon intensity of statewide electric generation compared to when Indian Point was fully operational. New York replaced clean energy from Indian Point with fossil fuel sources like natural gas.
China’s Covid Coup
replies
It is time for Americans to contemplate the possibility that the United States may be surpassed as the world’s most influential country. The Chinese have just won the greatest strategic victory in the last 30 years since the disintegration of the Soviet Union. However it originated, the novel coronavirus was repressed within China by recourse to draconian measures but was deliberately permitted to infect the rest of the world, enabling China to exploit the blunderbuss Western lockdowns and make a giant leap towards economic preeminence in the world.
This push toward Chinese economic preeminence was something widely predicted prior to the Trump era but clearly was not happening in the
Momentum is slowly beginning to shift against the anti-American, racist doctrine known as Critical Race Theory. Although, it has already spread like cancer throughout society and has been used by the radical left to poison the minds of children.
CRT had mostly flown under the radar. However, with the ascendancy of the Marxist-inspired Black Lives Matter movement the word is now out as to how corrosive that the left’s new religion truly is. The Biden regime’s unprecedented policies that condone discrimination against white people (as well as revisionist history) could be in trouble.
Multiple Republican-controlled states are now passing laws to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools.
Nebraska Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts has had enough of illegal immigrants flooding into his state and he’s about to take major action.
Ricketts plans to send over two dozen Nebraska State Patrol Officers to Del Rio, Texas, to assist officers with the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Nebraska is stepping up to help Texas respond to the ongoing crisis on their border with Mexico,” Ricketts said in a statement.
“The disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris administration created an immigration crisis on the border. While the federal government has fallen short in its response, Nebraska is happy to step up to provide assistance to Texas
For the second time in a week, a local reporter announced during a live broadcast that they will be speaking with conservative watchdog group Project Veritas about conditions they face in their employment.CBS 62 weather reporter April Moss made the surprise announcement in the middle of the weather forecast on Sunday.“Speaking of a brand new week, I will be sitting down this week with Project Veritas to discuss the discrimination that CBS is enforcing on its employees,” she said. “Tune in to Project Veritas for my full story.”Moss, a weekend weather anchor, joined the Detroit CBS affiliate’s weather team in 2012, according to her profile on CBS 62’s website.

Prices Under Joe Biden, Gets Busted in
Egregious Lie replies
Jen Psaki not only has difficulty telling the truth at her press conferences, the White House Press Secretary is also honesty-challenged on Twitter, as well. On Monday, Psaki tried to dispel the widespread public perception that it is Joe Biden’s fault that gas prices are going through the roof on Twitter. It all started when Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) accurately pointed out that gas prices have risen under Joe Biden. (Tweet) “Average gas price: June 2020: $2.21,” Jordan tweeted. “June 2021: $3.07 President Biden’s economy!” Since facts trigger leftists, Psaki felt the need to immediately respond.
On 6 April 2021, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 626 into law, overcoming Governor Asa Hutchinson’s veto less than 24 hours prior. The Act states that “a physician or other healthcare professional shall not provide gender transition procedures to any individual under eighteen (18) years of age,” nor refer any individual to another healthcare provider for the same purpose.A federal lawsuit, Dylan Brandt, et al v. Leslie Rutledge et al, was subsequently filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, contending that the law as passed violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment “by enacting legislation that wholesale prohibits healthcare providers from providing
Here’s a fun read to prepare for our sacred July 4th Independence Day:
How patriotic is the state where you live? Or wish you did? Or grew up in?
The folks over at the personal finance service WalletHub.com devised an imaginative matrix to determine Patriotism by State. [Snip] The findings are timely given our divisive politically-partisan days and also revealing about the demographic characteristics of each political subdivision of our nation. The results both support some popular beliefs and dispel others. Overall, it turns out: Red states are the most patriotic and
Vice President Kamala Harris landed a seventh job on Monday with the White House dispatching her to Pennsylvania to sell President Joe Biden's Child Tax Credit.
It's part of the administration's push to mark what they are calling Child Tax Credit Awareness Day to highlight a component of Biden's American Rescue Plan. The president himself has no public events on his schedule but the White House did post a video to its social media accounts of Biden talking about the tax credit. Harris will take the lead on selling it, giving remarks on the Child Tax Credit in Pittsburgh,
In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, each with their own thoughts, beliefs, and ideas, there will be those with ugly thoughts committing ugly deeds. Racial prejudice will to a certain degree never be truly eradicated. And yet, we have done an excellent job as a country in substantially minimizing these attitudes socially, and even ensuring racial prejudices are eliminated at an institutional level within government. Although we are not perfect, in regard to race and opinions about race, we are living in the best of times; our nation is not recognizable as the place where segregation ruled throughout the South as recently as the 1960s.
CTH has received anecdotal and unconfirmed reports the Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine has been pulled from the market. Three independent reports, from 3 different retail pharmacies, have highlighted instructions to send back the J&J vaccine. If we find out more about this we will let you know ASAP.
Per earlier reporting from media, there was supposed to be an emergency FDA/CDC/NIH meeting this Friday about substantial reports of vaccine side-effects. Perhaps the J&J recall (not yet publicized) is related; unknown. In the interim, The World Health Organization (WHO) is now recommending that children SHOULD NOT get the vaccine: {LINK}
New Yorkers across the five boroughs will head to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the pivotal Democratic primary elections to select the party’s nominees for mayor, comptroller, the City Council and other key posts.It’s the first citywide election to utilize the Big Apple’s new ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters in the primary to pick their favorite candidate in the race and then rank four more candidates — eliminating the need for a run-off election.But in the likely event that no Democratic candidate garners more than 50 percent of the vote, the city likely will not find out who the presumed next mayor will be until mid-July.
Russia's defense ministry has announced it sunk an aircraft carrier just 35 miles off the coast of Hawaii in a huge war games exercise that has alarmed the US. At least 20 Russian warships, submarines, and support vessels, flanked by 20 fighter jets, are taking part in the exercises - the biggest since the Cold War. Russia says that they are 300 miles off the coast of Hawaii, yet unconfirmed satellite images from June 19 appear to show them much closer - within 35 miles of the U.S. state.Russia says their forces are at a distance of about 2,500 miles southeast of the Kuril Islands.

In January of this year, reader Craig noticed that an eBay seller named rentonstore was selling Hezbullah items – things like patches, flags and hats, which glorify the antisemitic Islamic terrorist group.
The eBay store in question still appears to be active, but the user who complained about it was banned. eBay, like the rest of Big Tech, is keeping the site free of Dr. Seuss books, but a safe space for Islamic terrorists.
“What is to be done?” That’s been the cry of revolutionaries from time immemorial: the malcontents, the aggrieved, the misfits, the morally wretched. From the beginning of the modern “progressive” movement—which occurred around the time Jean-Jacques Rousseau published “The Social Contract” in 1762, adumbrating the French Revolution—to the uprisings of 1848 across Europe, through the advent of “scientific” Marxism and the horrors of those deformed twins, Soviet communism and German National Socialism, the same desire to inflict punitive misery has marked nearly every “revolutionary” movement.
China’s recent behavior has made it clear: It sees the U.S. not as a friend or as a mere competitor, but as an enemy. Recent revelations about China’s likely involvement in creating, spreading, then covering up the novel coronavirus, underscore the threat. After more than 600,000 deaths from the Wuhan bug, it’s time the U.S. responded.
A high-level Chinese defector is reportedly spilling the beans on China’s involvement in COVID-19 to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. Not only did Beijing probably create the pandemic,
The head of a New York City-based nonprofit that directed hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal grant money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology is no longer part of a UN-backed commission examining the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.(Snip) Earlier this month, Vanity Fair reported that Dazsak helped organize a statement signed by 27 leading scientists that appeared in The Lancet — a prestigious British medical journal — in February 2020. The statement condemned what it called “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin” and proclaimed “solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China.”
Based on official data from Open VAERS and the CDC, 5,993 Americans have died out of 146,171,792 Americans who are fully vaccinated as of June 11. This corresponds to a ratio of about four deaths out of 100,000 who are fully vaccinated.
When VAERS death rates are compared with COVID-19 vaccination rates from December to June, and odd pattern emerges: Vaccine-related deaths decline just as vaccination rates reach their peak in April (Graph 1). This implies that the VAERS death rate started at 18 per 100,000 on the 1st of February, then dropped to around 3.1 per 100,000 on the 1st of June (Table). If this remarkable trend really took place,
I used to think corporate bureaucracy was bad because it’s inefficient. That’s true, but it’s not the biggest problem. Rather, there’s a new invisible force at work in the highest ranks of corporate America, one far more nefarious. It’s the defining scam of our time — one that robs you of not only your money, but your voice and your identity. (Snip) This new woke-industrial Leviathan gains its power by dividing us as a people. When corporations tell us what social values we’re supposed to adopt, they take America as a whole and divide us into tribes.
At the beginning of the month, the Pentagon confirmed that they will not allow rainbow pride flags to fly at military facilities in celebration of Pride Month. That fell in line with the Pentagon’s 2020 decision to permit only certain flags at Department of Defense installations.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters the DOD chose not to make an exception to the existing flag policy after careful consideration.
Along with the American flag, the current policy implemented under the Trump administration authorizes flags representing states and U.S. territories, military services, prisoners of war and missing in action, national flags of U.S. allies and a handful of others.
There is Bernie Madoff-level government corruption in Washington. There is Clinton Foundation-level grift in politics. And there is Anthony Weiner-level sleaze wherever the media, government, and politics collide.And then there is Hunter Biden.Seriously, what does Hunter Biden have to do to become a scandal around here?How about cheating on his wife and children to sleep with his dead brother’s widow? Nope. That just spawned waves of pity over the tragic loss of his brother. President Trump once famously joked that he could go out into the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and “wouldn’t lose any voters.”While Mr. Trump never actually shot anyone on Fifth Avenue, he was accused
The Civilian Complaint Review Board has recommended discipline against 39 officers, including police brass, over their response in last year’s George Floyd protests, according to a new report released Monday.
The city’s police watchdog issued an update on its investigation into the NYPD’s handling of the protests last summer, saying it has so far substantiated 26 complaints of misconduct against the nearly 40 officers.
Despite a self-made “policy” not to weigh in on “day-to-day scrum” in Washington, D.C., former President Barack Obama said Monday that Congress should work to pass federal election takeover legislation, claiming “democracy long-term” could be at risk.“We can’t wait until the next election because if we have the same kinds of shenanigans that brought about Jan. 6, if we have that for a couple more election cycles, we’re going to have real problems in terms of our democracy long-term,” Obama said on a phone call with grassroots supporters and former Attorney General Eric Holder, according to The Hill.
President Biden has unveiled his reformed child tax credits which will see American families paid up to $3,600 to help raise each of their children.The raise, unveiled as part of Biden's $1.8 trillion American Families Rescue Plan, will see families with children aged under six receive a monthly payment of $300 per child - equivalent to $3,600 - in 2021.Families with children aged between six and 17 will receive $250 a month, or $3,000 over the course of a year. Cash will automatically start hitting the bank accounts of families who have filed 2019 and 2020 federal taxes from July 15.
A pair of LGBT pride organizers were publicly shamed by Seattle officials after complaining that an event seeking to charge white people $50 'reparations' to attend was reverse racism.Philip Lipson and Charlette LeFevre were slammed and publicly shamed by Seattle's Human Rights Commission which shared their complaint, complete with their unobscured phone number, as well as the Commission's response on Twitter.

The State Department will fly its pride flag later this month.Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed at an Atlantic Council event Monday that the department will fly the “Progress” flag for the first time to mark Pride Month.Blinken described the flag — which incorporates a black, brown, light blue, pink and white chevron into the traditional rainbow-colored pride flag — as “a symbol that encompasses the diversity and intersectionality of LGBTQI persons and communities around the world.”The secretary said the flag would be flown for three days beginning June 26, the anniversary of the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized gay marriage nationwide.
A brutal, race-based execution on a major Chicago street highlights where Democrat policies are taking us. Their obsessive focus on race, coupled with their attacks on moral law, criminal justice, and social norms will turn all of America into Chicago unless we refuse to go along with a program that affects every facet of American life, from the federal government down to the smallest school board.
The facts behind the horrific execution in Chicago are simple:
A DRIVER has been executed and his wife critically injured after they were both dragged from their car and shot by a gang of attackers.
Citing experts at the Meedan Digital Health Lab , Reuters Fact Check vigorously asserts that the spike proteins induced by the COVID vaccines do not kill or damage cells.
Perhaps so, but something from the vaccines is causing deformations and apparent inflammation in red blood cells, as evidenced by images from microscopy photos. Images of blood cells taken before and after the vaccines can be seen starting about two minutes into the five-minute video. Postvaccine red blood cells exhibit rough instead of smooth edges, irregular shapes, and grouping together over time which is described as the “beginning form of thrombosis,” or blood clots. More research is needed
The Washington Post has been branded 'neoracist,' and as promoting a 'pseudoreligious movement' for the latest episode of its podcast series urging readers to hold 'white accountability groups' and feel 'deep shame' over their race.
Its series, hosted by Nicole Ellis and called the New Normal, launched last spring, originally to discuss the coronavirus pandemic. The podcast shifted to conversations about race after the death of George Floyd last year.
New Normal's latest episode, launched on Friday, discusses how white people can combat white supremacy, among them were forming so-called 'white accountability groups.'
'An antiracist culture does not exist among white people,' Trauma specialist and author Resmaa Manakem says.

There aren’t many bright spots in American politics these days, especially when one is peering inside the Beltway. The performance of my senior senator here in Arizona — Kyrsten Sinema — has been refreshing so far.
Sinema wrote an op-ed on Monday for The Washington Post reaffirming her opposition to ending the filibuster. Predictably, libs all over are triggered by this common sense, moderate approach to governing. She’s a woman who sticks to her principles, which is something I need to set up here before I get to the stuff mentioned in the headline. From her op-ed:
It’s no secret that I oppose eliminating the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.
One in four adults age 18 to 39 in the United States "probably or definitely" will refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to survey data released Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Roughly the same percentage said they were "unsure" or "probably would" receive the vaccine, the data showed.
These percentages were both higher among Black people, with nearly one-third indicating that they would probably or definitely not get inoculated against the coronavirus and 28% suggesting they were unsure.
Among respondents who reported that they would likely refuse the immunization, just under 57% cited "lack of trust in COVID-19 vaccines"

‘Rig the Rules of American Elections
Permanently’ in Their Favor replies
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday torched the Democrats’ election takeover bill on the Senate floor as a purely “partisan power grab” by the left “to rig the rules of American elections permanently” in their favor. As the Senate looks to vote on the Democrats’ election bill this week, McConnell took to the Senate floor to explain what the Democrats are trying to accomplish with their radical agenda. “Senate Democrats entered June with an agenda that was designed to fail. The Democratic leader planned votes on a host of the left’s most radical priorities,” McConnell said.
Monday marked the 21st day of June, a month that Joe Biden hoped would see the passage of his extreme voting rights power grab, as well as a huge infrastructure bill. So far, neither has happened and CBS This Morning journalists began to fret about what to do next. In fact, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki seemed to indicate that the so-called “For the People” act was doomed.
