In wake of President Biden huddling, on Thursday, with radical left-wing activists who pretend to be “civil rights leaders,” MSNBC on Friday touted National Urban League President Marc Morial coming out after that meeting and hurling the vile accusation that Republican-sponsored voting reforms and the U.S. Supreme Court were conspiring to create “American apartheid.” Rather than fact-check such a horrendous lie, the partisan cable channel endorsed the disgusting rhetoric instead. “Civil rights leaders gathering with President Biden....We know they want more action on federal voting rights,” anchor Chris Jansing announced

The 2020 presidential election is proving to be one of the most divisive and controversial in American history. But it wasn’t just the widespread anomalies and improbable record-setting numbers that have driven many Trump supporters to believe the election was “stolen.”It was the media that did this. The years-long Russia hoax with the complicity of nearly the entire U.S. corporate media primed Trump supporters to expect shenanigans. When the suspect reports came piling in, many leapt to the conclusion it was all rigged.

During a portion of an interview with BET set to air on Friday that was broadcast on Thursday’s “CBS This Morning,” Vice President Kamala Harris responded to a question on whether she’d compromise by agreeing to voter ID provisions to pass voting legislation by stating that we shouldn’t downplay the impact voter ID laws could have. Because to some, voter ID means, “you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove that you are who you are.” And many people live where “there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no OfficeMax near them.” Journalist Soledad O’Brien asked, “People are talking about potential compromises.
New Yorkers have been forced to wade through rat-infested waters to get home after torrential rain flooded the subway - as the Big Apple braces for Tropical Storm Elsa to strike and bring fresh travel chaos. Thunder storms have caused widespread flash flooding across NYC, with waist-high water deluging Washington Heights subway station and cops deployed to rescue stranded motorists. Several roads in the Bronx and Manhattan remained closed Friday, with up to 6 inches of rain predicted in some areas later. One creative Bronx resident was seen using a jet ski to cross a road under several feet of water.
Jill Biden's first husband Bill Stevenson has claimed for the first time that he spent the night with Robert Durst's murdered wife Kathie ten days before she vanished and that he may be the 'missing link in the case' that drove Robert 'crazy'. Stevenson was married to Jill Biden between 1970 and 1975. She met Joe towards the end of their marriage when working for him when he was a Senator, and they got married in 1977 - five years before Kathie Durst vanished in 1982. Bill, who previously accused Jill of having an affair with Joe while he was still married to her, was childhood friends with Kathie.
Recently at a gathering of 15 top conservative leaders, the question was posed: What does America think of the present political condition? The conversation rocked back and forth, reviewing the state of education, the wokeness of big business, the extremism of the Democratic Party, the politicization of sports, the disintegration of civil society, the war on religion, the assault on the family, and the like. Frank Cannon, chairman of American Principles Project, sat silent but finally erupted.“What the hell is going on here?!”The guests looked at him surprised, more than one certainly taken aback at his impatience with the discussion.

As we expected, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) issued its revised guidelines on stem cells and embryo experiments at the end of May 2021, and as expected, the ISSCR recommendations are rife with proposed experiments on young human beings.
The new guidelines discard the 14-day limit on human embryo experiments in favor of no limits whatsoever, and they allow virtually unrestricted manufacture of human-animal chimeras of any type, as well as creation of genetically altered human embryos and lab constructed human embryo “models.” Very little is left in the category of “currently not permitted.”
Thanks to a series of leaks from the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop computer, we know there is more than enough evidence to appoint a special counsel, or at least convene a grand jury to investigate bribery, tax fraud, and probably several other categories of crime involving the Biden Crime Family. (snip) A mildly curious US Attorney ought to be able to get a grand jury to subpoena the financial records of the Biden clan on this basis. (snip) We understand why none of this is happening – yet.

Knowing which Americans have been vaccinated is “absolutely the government’s business,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Thursday.
Speaking to CNN, the HHS secretary was responding to criticism of President Biden’s comments Tuesday about going “door to door, literally knocking on doors” to get wary Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus. “It is absolutely the government’s business, it is taxpayers’ business, if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra told the network, noting the government has had to “spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday and slammed unvaccinated Americans, telling them to “get over this political statement.”
“This is not complicated. We’re not asking anybody to make a political statement one way or another,” Fauci said during a segment of “All in with Chris Hayes” on MSNBC. “We’re saying, try to save your life, and that of your family, and that of your community.”
“We have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with that don’t have solutions,” Fauci continued. “It’s very frustrating. You don’t have a treatment, you don’t have a vaccine.

Health experts in the United States have raised the alarm that vaccinated individuals might be spreading the Covid-19 Delta variant, as cases surge in states across the country. The highly transmissible Delta variant now makes up more than half of new infections in the US.(Snip)Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told Insider that the spread of the Delta variant could actually be worse than current data suggests. “CDC guidance is not to test the vaccinated [unless they’re symptomatic], so we’re probably missing a bunch of transmission in vaccinated individuals,” Mr Murray said, who is the lead modeller at the IHME,
