This is a must watch clip from the pandemic.

2021. CNN hunts down and confronts a doctor for spreading "misinformation" online. What was some of the "misinformation" he was spreading? Masks may not work and vaccines can be dangerous.

CNN hunted this guy down at his home and told him he had blood on his hands because he was questioning the safety and effectiveness of the experimental vaccine.

This is such a good reminder of the pressure, the viciousness, the attacks, the censorship, and the shaming.

The same CNN is telling us now that Fauci wasn't really responsible for anything that happened during the pandemic.

BTW after the pandemic even CNN has reported on studies that showed masking didn't work at all. Did they issue an apology to this doctor?

The Center for Countering Digital Hate, (a corrupt, left wing attack group that puts out bogus studies that are used to censor people) put out its "dirty dozen" report in early 2021. The Biden Admin used this report to pressure social media companies to censor people who were questioning the vaccine. Early 2021 was the same time that Fauci, Biden, Rochelle Walensky, and others were lying about the effectiveness of the vaccine to get people to take it.

This is infuriating on a personal level and let me tell you why:

My wife was pregnant and in her clinical year of PA school at this time. She’d already had covid. Her doctor--and even the doctors teaching at her PA school!--said it was totally reasonable to not get the vaccine since she had the antibodies and was pregnant.

But virtually none of the hospitals or doctors offices in the DFW area would accept PA students for clinical rotations if they weren’t vaccinated—even if they were pregnant, even if they had the antibodies—because they were following Fauci’s advice.

My saint of a wife put our baby daughter first and still didn’t get the shot because she didn’t want to risk anything that might mess with the baby, but we had to spend months and months living out of Airbnbs in various rural small towns across Texas—the only places in the state where hospitals couldn’t afford to turn away help from PA students, vaccinated or not—while eating the rent on our empty apartment at the same time. It was worth it but it literally cost us tens of thousands of dollars while we were a one-income household living on a journalist salary.

And so now, to see Fauci had the same concerns she did? Infuriating.

“Chuck is really an excellent journalist and although he must maintain his objectivity in reporting, it is very clear that he is really being a friend….” - A. Fauci

[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.

So embarrassing.

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

He enlisted an entire army of journalists to lie for him and smear anyone who suggested this virus came out of a NIAID funded lab.

They all willingly went along with it.

While Obama, Hillary, and Panetta were at Andrews AFB on September 14, 2012 putting on the dignified transfer show for our brothers…

The Annex team and DS team was still in Germany. We got left there on purpose so we couldn’t be at that ceremony.

When we landed at Ramstein, the USO was waiting on the tarmac. They knew we left everything behind in Benghazi, so they had clothes, shoes, socks, and toiletries set up for us.
The Tripoli Embassy people who had all their luggage and plenty of time to pack went through the line first. As we sat there just watching, they took every last damn thing. Socks, Underwear, Pants, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Mouthwash, all of it. Looked like flies hoarding on a fresh pile of shit. They couldn’t get to the stuff fast enough. Nothing left for the guys who still had blood on their boots.

As the whole team from Benghazi just sat there looking at these flies, the @The_USO team came up, talked to us, and asked if we were the guys from Benghazi. They left and came back with a couple hundred bucks each on a card so we could go buy clothes and toiletries the next morning, thank GOD!

We got debriefed again in Germany and asked if we wanted to talk to the FBI. We looked at each other this was a terrorist attack. The military should be handling it, not treating it like some criminal case.

We learned about the ceremony and had to watch that whole thing from Germany. Then once their ceremony was over, they came to us and said, “You can go home now… but you got to find and buy your own plane ticket back.”

We watched the whole “it was a video protest that turned into a riot” lie from Germany as well and knew every word of it was bullshit.
That’s what we were doing while they put on the show.
Never forget.
Never stop telling the truth.

In all seriousness, a vital part of salting the earth and ensuring that peak woke never returns is making “serious” people answer humiliating questions about it that they never want to hear again.

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

We actually looked at California.

A preliminary @DHSgov review found 81,336 California registrants whose name, date of birth, address, and Social Security number MATCH a non-citizen in our files.

Not to mention, it takes California four weeks to count ballots in a mayor’s race. Third-world countries do it better.

So establishing a national requirement for (fairly low) proof that an individual may lawfully vote is tantamount to the destruction of the Democratic Party?

This begs an obvious question:

Exactly what percentage of *certified* Democratic votes are felons, illegal aliens, minors, the deceased, and/or multiple votes "cast" in the name of a single voter (or any of the aforementioned categories)?

Follow-up rhetorical questions:

Q: Which states voted for Trump in 2016, went Biden (over Trump) in 2020, then reverted back to Trump in 2024?

A: Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia - 73 electoral votes combined.

Q: Of these five, which ones were historically R strongholds for Senate seats, but exhibited outlier behavior in the 2020 election cycle by changing both Senate seats to D through anomalous surges in major metro-area vote totals, but not in the rest of the state?

A: Arizona (1 Senate seat flip in 2020, with 1 flip in 2018) and Georgia (2 Senate seat flips in the 2020 hangover special elections).

(Last) Q: In which state did the D's Senate candidate(s) show a GREATER skew towards D versus the already unusual tilt towards D in the presidential race totals?

A: Georgia.

Now, if I were wondering where the strongest evidence of potential election integrity issues might have been in 2020, in which state might I logically start the analysis?

(Bonus chart - the major metro areas with the greatest skews in 2020 versus 2016, with positive numbers being percentage increase in D votes from 2016 to 2020)

The Democrat Party is the largest criminal organization in the history of the world. Wherever they achieve power, they will use said power to work with all manner of people to loot the treasury.

He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!!!

Michigan Senator Elisa Slotkin says if the SAVE Act passes then Democrats wouldn’t win another election in any state

She just accidentally blurted out the entire scheme…

Democrats can’t win without illegals voting. Democrats can’t win without cheating.

[Brandon Gill @realBrandonGill]

Why would Democrats not be able to win elections if only American citizens are allowed to vote?
