Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions.

Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

@TheRickWilson But if Tulsi is lying, isn’t that a story worth reporting on?

[Adam Carolla @adamcarolla]

They would be reporting on themselves

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

On her last day as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard declassified the COVID cover-up.
Never-before-seen documents. Fauci's fingerprints on the intelligence itself. A lie told to Congress under oath.
Here is what just dropped. 🧵

Don’t forget your photo ID!

@GadSaad Genuine question…..What if you just don’t pay it and leave?

The level of fraud here is mind-blowing

You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.

Happy Somali fraudster raid day for all who celebrate.

Dear President Trump, Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. Please consider honoring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I can’t think of a greater representative of American values.

Milton Friedman, 4 ways to spend money:

1. Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2. Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3. Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4. Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)

Hint: #4 is the government

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Rent, profit, and interest aren’t theft. They come from voluntary agreements involving property, risk, capital, and time.

Pretending only physical labor creates value is childish economics.

And if your rule were true, the first thing it would condemn is welfare, because that actually takes money from someone else’s labor by force.

So the slogan doesn’t expose anything profound. It just exposes how little thought went into the premise.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

If socialists truly believed high prices were caused by greedy owners, the obvious move would be to start co-ops and compete them out of the market. Pay workers more, charge customers less, and you’d quickly win people over.

But that rarely happens.

It suggests the real problem isn’t that co-ops are forbidden. It’s that running a productive enterprise is harder than denouncing one.

Meanwhile the same voices tend to demand price controls, subsidies, and central planning, policies that often make the very shortages and high prices they complain about more likely.

This is the hidden bill that comes with a free lunch.

@mr_coach_Larson Maybe you’re crazy? Have you checked?

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding

She did chores all week so I owe her $10

I hand her $7

> this isn't $10

"right, I withheld the rest"

> what does that mean

"I kept $3 of your money"

> but it's my money

"It was your money"

> what are you even doing with it?

"Funding household infrastructure"

> what

"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"

> you're charging me for the hallway

"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"

> you're my dad. you're supposed to---

"I'm also your government"

> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway

"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"

> it's a hallway. It's already there

"For now"

She asks what else the $3 covers

"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"

> dispute resolution?

"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"

> that's just parenting

"That's the Department of Justice"

> what about meals. You already feed me

"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"

> I'm your daughter

"Which is why you're currently enrolled"

She wants to see where the money goes

I tell her that would require a FOIA request

> what's that

"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"

> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?

"Could be longer. We're understaffed"

> there's two of you

She asks how she gets any of it back

"It's already spent"

> you spent my money already?

"We had a budget shortfall"

> you just took it 20 seconds ago

"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"

> so I'm not getting it back

"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"

> of my own money

"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"

> you know how much I made. You paid me

"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"

> so you already know the answer

"The point is compliance"

She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong

"Penalty"

> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?

"We could set up a payment plan"

> I'm 8

"Monthly installments. Very manageable"

> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me

"Now you're getting it"

> I want to talk to mom

"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"

She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion

Slammed the door

That's my little citizen

I've never been more proud

Why is Walz never angry at the fraudsters and never interested in recovering any of the stolen money?

[Dustin Grage @GrageDustin]

Democrats PASSED Driver’s Licenses for All.

Democrats BLOCKED a “Not for voting” indicator on those licenses.

Democrats PASSED automatic voter registration tied to driver’s licenses.

Democrats ADMITTED those licenses could be used for voting.

Not a fluke. It’s by design.

You almost have to give the @StarTribune credit. Despite all their financial problems and loss of readership, they continue to have an incredibly deep bench of truly awful people on their staff.
