Four innocent Americans kiIIed by foreign truck drivers in just the past two weeks.
Democrats sued Trump when he tried passing a rule to stop people we don’t speak English from getting CDLs
These deaths could’ve been prevented.
Insanely radicalizing
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: I uncovered documents showing a Berlin-based network steering foreign donors toward a $19 million, Hillary-linked voter operation designed to “change the outcomes of national elections” and generate 200,000+ votes in key U.S. races.

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when writing about infectious disease-based public health threats. There are real threats, such as multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis, but these are rarely discussed.
And then there is the psychological (eg. information) bioterrorism, the fear porn, a hyped narrative concerning an existential threat repeatedly injected into public discourse and then intentionally amplified to the point that it becomes perverse and, in some cases disabling obsession for many.
If you want a threat assessment on bird flu based on facts, not fearporn - go to:

There is seasonal flu going around - but that strain is not closely related to the "highly pathogenic" (to birds) bird flu that the government is panicked about.
Seasonal flu spreads mostly among humans through the air when infected people cough and sneeze. Most seasonal flu is clustered around winter, when vitamin D levels decrease and people's bodies are a bit more stressed.
In contrast, bird flu, or avian influenza, spreads among birds and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and rarely, other animal species, with the extremely rare case of human infection (61 cases in the USA from this outbreak). Most contracted it through close contact with infected birds or animals. Most cases have been mild - but one person died WITH avian flu, as they had many underlying health issues.
Remember, the more they test - the more cases they will find in birds, cattle and people.
Prior to this outbreak, avian influenza testing in the United States was primarily focused on wild birds and poultry. Avian flu is circulating among wild birds. So it is everywhere.
So, if cattle are contracting avian flu a new phenomena or just a case of if one tests thousands of cows, one might find out that cattle occasionally contract avian flu and that it gets spread via milking machines? Prior to 2022, cattle were rarely, if ever tested for avian flu.
As influenza is caused by an RNA virus, it mutates very rapidly. By next year - the strain of avian flu circulating will be different.
Still expect that coming soon, they will roll out RNA vaccines to "combat" avian flu for poultry, cattle and humans...
But there are a number of low tech ways to deal with dairy cattle getting infected, other than continually testing all the cattle in the USA over and over again. The easiest is to develop better milking protocols.
So, group think abounds in the government.
So, the government is overreacting again to an infectious disease "threat."
Is anyone surprised.
Keep reminding them when they start whining about child cancer funding that it was the Dems who’ve done nothing!
H.R. 3391: The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0.
Introduced in March 2024, passed by the Republican majority House.
But never voted on in the Democrat majority Senate.
🚨Mitch McConnell final words on the floor as Republican Leader:
“Folks come to Washington to do one of two things: either to make a point or to make a difference…it’s usually not that hard to tell who’s doing which, especially in situations like the one we’re in right now.”
