Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted there was no evidence to support social distancing to limit the spread of Covid-19 and failed to recall evidence for child masking, according to newly released transcripts of congressional testimony he gave earlier this year. Fauci testified behind closed doors over two days in January to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the subcommittee released the transcripts of his testimony ahead of his public testimony scheduled to take place next week.

While the left and its media acolytes have been busy squeeing the past 24 hours over the fact that former President Donald Trump is a "CONVICTED FELON!!1!!1!" (technically not true until the judge actually enters the judgment of conviction, but that will come shortly, no doubt), many have been speculating as to what that means in practical terms for the former president. Sentencing is now set for July 11 (four days before the start of the Republican National Convention), but setting aside the guesses as to what Judge Juan Merchan will do at that point, the conviction could impact some of Trump's rights,

For the second time in their ignoble history, the Democrats have fired on Fort Sumter. Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?
I wrote my initial thoughts on the Trump verdict yesterday afternoon. I want to add to them here.
If Joe Biden is re-elected following this outrage, he will be an illegitimate president. What does that mean? It means, I think, that no one should be obliged to follow his executive orders. All such orders will be illegitimate and should be disregarded, as appropriate. Likewise, residents of the sane states, and their public officials, should be free to disregard rules and orders

On Friday’s edition of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast, New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow argued that Democrats want to try to wear down 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump with the criminal charges against him and Trump can’t play into that goal by sacrificing his message on the economy to focus on relitigating his trial in New York.
Host Tomi Lahren said that Trump’s presser earlier in the day on the trial had about 25 minutes that he could have skipped because he spent too much time getting bogged down in the legalities of the case.

Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu declined Friday to confirm or deny explicitly U.S. President Joe Biden’s claim that Israel had proposed a deal for a ceasefire and hostage release that would keep Hamas armed and in power in Gaza.
However, Netanyahu’s response suggested that Israel’s “actual proposal” was different than the one Biden described. On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Biden proposed a three-part deal similar to proposals that Hamas had rejected in the past. The proposal never mentioned disarming Hamas and would effectively leave Hamas in power. Biden claimed that the Israeli government had proposed the deal — but then, bizarrely,

Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk is preparing to host a town hall on his social media website for former President Donald Trump after slamming Trump’s conviction.
A source familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal he would be partnering with NewsNation to air a town hall event where users on X, formerly known as Twitter, will submit questions that will be answered by Trump.
The source added that there would also be a town hall event hosted on X for independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On Thursday, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to payments

One week ago I wrote a post about how "right wing" AfD (All for Germany) party representatives in the European Parliament (called MEPs for Members of the European Parliament) had been booted from their EU coalition by Marine LePen's group. Whatever the alleged catalyst - a brouhaha over "unacceptable" remarks made by AfD's leader in an interview - the timing was certainly suspicious, coming as it did a mere 6 weeks before EU Parliament elections and in the face of rising panic by Brussels elites over surging populist fervor among Europe's citizens.
Things are quickly reaching a boiling point in the European ruling Left

Joe Biden is a disgusting human being.
He should have said nothing. His campaign should not have sent people to make a spectacle of themselves earlier in the week at the Trump trial in Manhattan. That was an incredibly ill-considered move, like so much of what Biden has done over his time in office. Then his team issued a disgusting statement, and there was even a report that they were cheering. But Biden — or whoever is in control at the White House — just couldn't stop themselves from having him say something.
First, there was the obligatory Biden confusion and despite the fact that he's going to talk about

President Biden announced the terms of an Israeli-led proposal Friday that includes a three-part roadmap toward an end to fighting and the release of all remaining hostages taken Oct. 7, giving the strongest indication yet of a potential end to the war between Israel and Hamas.
“After intensive diplomacy carried out by my team, my many conversations with leaders of Israel, Qatar and Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries, Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It’s a road map to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages,” Biden said.

Retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is leaving the Democratic Party and has formally registered in his state as an independent, stoking speculation he may run for elected office again in November.
“Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said in a statement issued shortly after West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval broke the news. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.”

Legal expert Jonathan Turley reacted with strong words to the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump, who was convicted on all 34 counts at his New York hush money trial after only two days of jury deliberations spanning over nine hours.
"I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others," Turley tweeted, saying that he believes that the case will be reversed "eventually" either at the state or federal level. "However," the George Washington University Law School professor added, "this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system than the former president.

Thursday, after a jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on 34 counts in his Manhattan criminal trial, Trump attorney Todd Blanche lamented the outcome and the circumstances that he felt led to the outcome.
Blanche told FNC host Jesse Watters he felt Trump’s constitutional rights were violated as well.
“You believe Donald Trump’s constitutional rights were violated?” Watters asked during an interview airing on Thursday’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “In many ways, yes,” Blanche replied.
“How so?” Watters asked.
“Well, if you look at, for example, the gag order that was put in place, and you had a situation where President Trump, who’s on the campaign trail and is trying to compete with voices
