Bill Gates had no official public health authority, yet he was given a seat at the table in high-level COVID briefings and played a direct role in shaping America’s pandemic response. Private billionaires should not be steering national policy behind closed doors.

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

The strategy CNN management chose was silence. Just say nothing, and hope the controversy fades away.

It's been almost 10 days since Fauci diary entries revealed that two of CNN's top anchors were private pals with the man they were supposed to be objectively covering.

From "friendship building" dinner parties, backchanneling interview questions, to texting insults about Republicans, none of it has been addressed by Tapper, Bash, Stelter or anyone else at CNN.

Just pretend like it never happened.

And to many people who aren't on 𝕏 or don't consume right-leaning media — it never did.

Ethics. Transparency. Journalism.

This is CNN.

Racist Commie Mamdani is going to make you show ID in his markets. You want your government-subsidized arugula? Show your papers! Ask for ID to vote? BIGOT!!!

Are you starting to realize what disingenuous lying buffoons these commies are?

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@SecKennedy completely schools @DanaBashCNN again: "First of all, this is an international outbreak, and we're doing better at handling it than any country in the world... Canada has 4x the amount of measles. England has 2x the amount of measles. Did I cause those measles outbreaks?"

"Anthony Fauci, in his diaries, answers the question about why we're having a measles outbreak right now. The reason we're having a measles outbreak is because of the Covid lockdowns; because children, during that period, did not get vaccinated. And in his diaries, he says this is going to cause massive outbreaks of measles, and more children—he says this... are going to die from measles because of these lockdowns than Covid."

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

Dana Bash freaks out over RFK Jr telling her that she was part of the problem with the media coverage of Covid.

"No, I wasn't."

Fauci noted in a diary entry that Bash was texting him quotes bashing Republicans.

Bill Maher TORCHES Communists Democrats: “Two Democratic congressmen released an open pledge that they wanted their fellow Democratic members to sign. It said, ‘We are capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. We are proud, not ashamed of America.’”

“You know how many did [sign onto the pledge]? 8 out of 212.”

“Guys, really there’s got to be an easier way to LOSE the swing states.”

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

Bill Maher on Data Centers: “To put it in perspective… golf uses WAY MORE [water than data centers]. Golf and f*cking raising… almonds is the thing we raise here. Like almonds and golf, I’m against both of them.”

“I’m not against almonds I’m against raising them where we don’t have water to do it. And it’s like 7 TIMES the amount of water is being used on golf courses [than data centers].”

“So maybe the issue itself is water.”

[USAFVet @BollingerTodd]

And this is all you need to know about the MSM.

[Ian Miller @ianmSC]

Kudos to Bill Maher for reading the ridiculous stuff Fauci actually wrote in his diary because no other Democrat in the media is willing to admit their hero was dishonest and obsessed with being famous

Many more people should be held accountable. I will never forget these horrendous comments Jimmy Kimmel made, and neither should you.

[Rachel McAdams @RMcAdamsReports]

Report: After extending Marcus Scott a preferred walk-on offer, Kim English reportedly informed Scott the offer was being withdrawn after Scott had posted his commitment. Numerous PC preferred walk-ons had publicly announced their commitments in the past without any issues.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Bill Gates had a Q Clearance and a private editor at NIH.
Across nearly twenty years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation built a relationship with the federal government that ran on personal access as much as formal partnership. I'm releasing the documents. 🧵

Pacman Jones says he committed to Georgia Tech, then pulled out after hearing they’d have to go to class every day and do homework

“I was committed to Georgia Tech. I had offers from everywhere: Georgia, Notre Dame, NC State, Tennessee, Miami, Florida. I could have went anywhere besides Michigan and Ohio State.”

“First I wanted to stay home, then my grandma got sick with cancer and I was like, I got to get away from here… My boy who went to high school with me went to Georgia Tech, and he was like, ‘bro, this school hard as hell, we got to go to class every day.’ I said, y’all doing all the work? That one’s off the list.”

“Then I went on the visit to West Virginia, we wasn’t doing no work. Work was football.”

[End Tribalism in Politics @EndTribalism]

Joe Rogan just WENT OFF on CNN and the mainstream media for ignoring the Fauci hearing and claiming Americans do not care.

“If you don’t think that’s news, you’re out of your mind.”

“You shouldn’t be calling yourself the news.”

“You’re just a propaganda arm for whatever pharmaceutical company is paying for your advertisements.”

“This is a big issue for most Americans who went through that.”

“People who lost their jobs.”

“People who had to take a vaccine in order to go to work and got sick from it.”

“People couldn't fly, they couldn't travel, they were vilified.”

“They were called plague rats because they were questioning these things.”

“You’re not supposed to be the arbiters of what we can and can’t concentrate on.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

#lBREAKING: Former UNC assistant coach Kim English is under investigation by the NCAA after multiple former players and recruits accused him of inappropriate behavior, per sources

I’m told multiple athletes and staff members filed formal complaints against English, citing verbal abuse and serious conduct violations.

Sources also say English operated multiple burner accounts on social media that he used to defend his coaching ability while also calling out certain players and officials.

All of this came to light after a text exchange between English and a preferred-walk on was leaked this morning, wherein English tells the recruit to remove his commitment post on Instagram and then proceeded to revoke his offer.

My sources say these revelations were a long time coming, and are the reason he left UNC’s coaching staff so abruptly last Spring.

[Chris Crumpler @ChrisCrumpler4]

@mbdayztoo @PeteThamel seriously??? UNC has benefited from media turning a blind eye to everything they do, they've been getting the Biden pass!!!

"Today, when the country finally demanded answers, the man who never stopped talking suddenly went silent."

Spot on.

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

We are living through a massive information crisis in which at least half the population is being systematically misinformed, making any sane national debate increasingly difficult. Without a shared factual foundation, there is nothing to discuss. People are not merely drawing different conclusions from the same evidence. They are living in entirely different realities.

That is what makes the Fauci story so tragic. He caused untold harm, yet millions of people know almost nothing about it. We can debate precisely how large a role Fauci played in the creation of Covid, but half the country does not even know that Covid came from a lab. We are therefore several steps removed from the basic conditions required to have an intelligent discussion.

Other facts are even more black and white. Fauci’s private diary contradicts what he told the public. His own words reveal a man of almost limitless narcissism. These are not matters of interpretation. They are documented facts. Yet we still cannot have a national conversation about them because the media either refuses to report them or actively lies about them. Anyone who is not on Twitter, which is most people, may never encounter the underlying evidence at all.

The result is that I increasingly find it almost impossible to discuss any of this with ordinary people, whether family members, acquaintances, or people at events or birthday parties. Unless someone has followed the evidence closely, there is no common starting point. Before you can debate what happened, you first have to dismantle at least ten years of falsehoods and omissions.

I do not know how this ends, but it is not sustainable. A country cannot function indefinitely when its people are no longer capable of discussing almost anything beyond sports on the basis of shared factual knowledge.
