The deadly word games that brought us 'Gain of Function'

"This is where Fauci's word magic comes in because in biology, the jargon term "Gain of Function" refers not to human health, but to the health of the bugs that can kill you. So you thought the NIH was about YOUR health?"

 


 James Lewis  "Take the biggest headline lie today about the origins of COVID in an enormous U.S.-funded virology lab in Wuhan, China.  Your National Institutes of Health paid for the molecular trickery that made the virus more and more deadly to human beings until the armed-up virus somehow exploded out of Wuhan and spread around the world in a matter of days and weeks.

"Except that the bug didn't spread to Chinese government centers like Beijing, which simply blocked travelers from Wuhan.

"Even Nature magazine, the oldest science magazine in the world, has called attention to the tricky terminology of "Gain of Function."  But Nature's article is still shrouded in jargon.

"In the real world, the bug's Gain of Function is a horror story.

"The biggest single bug vector at the start of the pandemic went from Wuhan to Milan, where tens of thousands of Chinese workers carried the virus to overwhelm Italy's medical system overnight.

"Thousands of patients started to choke from an unknown cause, and their panicked doctors had no idea what they were dealing with.  They were caught unprepared, and China was not going to help them figure it out.

"China knew a lot about the virus, but nobody told Italian emergency doctors, who stood by helplessly while their patients suddenly died.

"The basic science that made the virus is now called "Gain of Function" research, but any American taxpayer who reads "Gain of Function" is likely to think a half-million dollars of U.S. money was spent for our "Gain of Function."

"It's called the National Institutes of Health, isn't it?  Why are we paying for the NIH if it isn't for human health?". . . Full article...

Tucker Carlson To Release BOMBSHELL Documentary on “The True Story Behind January 6th”...”The Left is HUNTING The Right!”

 100%FedUp  "Almost single-handedly, Tucker Carlson is doing the heavy lifting for the dishonest corporate media when it comes to shining a light on the truth behind what happened on January 6th.

"For months, 100 Percent Fed Up and the Gateway Pundit have been reporting on January 6th political prisoners, false flags, and how the Democrats in conjunction with federal agents potentially set up Trump and his supporters. Those who traveled to Washington DC to demand lawmakers take a closer look at the election in contested states before certifying the election for a man who, as it turns out, is the most dangerous person to ever occupy the White House (not counting his former boss, who is likely pulling all of the strings behind the curtain in the Oval Office) are being held in solitary confinement, they are being refused medical care and basic human rights.

"Tucker Carlson was the first person on a top-rated television show to call into question the role federal agents played in the so-called “insurrection” on January 6th. (See video here). Now, he’s following up with an incredible documentary that is certain to rock the Democrat Party and dirty federal agents, (like those we discovered in the uncovering of the Russian hoax scam with Peter Strozk), to the core."...

Tucker gave us a glimpse of his story back in June:

"Biden administration operating like 'a decapitated vessel on a tricycle:' 'There's no head' ' Gutfeld

 Fox News

Rich Terrell

" 'The Five" co-host Greg Gutfeld offered up a Halloween analogy on the show Thursday to describe the Biden administration's tepid response to skyrocketing inflation and the ongoing supply chain crisis.

" 'The White House is coming to Halloween as the headless horseman because the administration has no head. There’s no leadership," he said. "There’s no face of the administration. It’s not Jen Psaki. It’s a decapitated vessel on a tricycle, is what we have right now, and there are no ideas and only spending because there’s no head.' " . . .

Why is Al Sharpton batting for Kamala Harris?

Rajan Laad  "It's excruciating to watch the irrelevant strive for publicity by gravitating toward any recording device to make provocative statements.  Reverend Al Sharpton certainly belongs to this group of démodé, publicity-seeking individuals.  He was a pioneer in his field of racial demagoguery, a man who persistently and unhesitatingly played the race card to enrich himself.

"Today, the likes of BLM have cornered the market and made him obsolete.  Perhaps in an effort to reclaim relevance, Rev. Al Sharpton detailed his thoughts on Kamala Harris's job responsibilities so far in an exclusive interview for The Root.

"As he always does, Sharpton began by taking credit for Biden choosing Kamala as his running mate:" . . .


. . . "Doesn't Sharpton know that more assignments are assigned only to those employees who are capable, adept, and demonstrably enthusiastic?

"How has Kamala fared so far?

"Biden tapped Kamala to tackle the migration challenge at the U.S. southern border.  She began with her passive-aggressive resistance to the job by taking ages to visit the border, for which she was criticized by both sides

"In her infamous interview with Lester Holt, Kamala struggled to answer a basic question of why she hadn't visited the border.  She traveled to the border only when President Trump announced that he would be visiting.  Her visits to Guatemala and Mexico yielded nothing. 

"The continued influx of illegal aliens proves that she failed quite miserably at her assignment.

"Following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, she once again struggled to answer elementary questions, and her poorly timed cackles continued.  A BBC correspondent rightly observed that Kamala made America appear "incompetent, uncaring and unreliable.' " . . .

My interactions with African-Americans are almost universally pleasant and even uplifting. Why must we be subjected daily to these represented in media such as these? 

New Jersey Professor on White People: ‘We Got to Take These Motherf**kers Out’ "Associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Brittney Cooper, made the shocking remark during an event in September titled, "Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory," hosted by the far-left website The Root."...  

"A student at Rutgers University, Stephen Wallace, said he sees Cooper's comments as an incitement of violence against a group of people.

"The people that want to teach kids about America and how racist and oppressed everyone is are the real racists and oppressors," Wallace said."...

America Gone Mad

A report from abroad: Knowledgeable British and Europeans not only do not think America is back, they think it has gone mad.


Conrad Black  "After three weeks in Europe and extensive discussions with dozens of well-informed and highly placed individuals from most of the principal Western European countries, including leading members of the British government, I have the unpleasant duty of reporting complete incomprehension and incredulity at what Joe Biden and his collaborators encapsulate in the peppy but misleading phrase, “We’re back.” 

"As one eminent elected British government official put it, “They are not back in any conventional sense of that word. We have worked closely with the Americans for many decades and we have never seen such a shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as we have seen in these nine months. We were startled by Trump, but he clearly knew what he was doing, whatever we or anyone else thought about it. This is just a disintegration of the authority of a great nation for no apparent reason.”

"From the European perspective, American leadership of the West has produced excellent results and very few unpleasant surprises since the United States stepped into that role under Franklin D. Roosevelt in World War II. At that time, the entire future of Western civilization rested essentially upon the shoulders of just two men, Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, and it was the epochal good fortune of all of us that they were more than equal to their great task. The level of acuity and success of the subsequent administrations, as the competence of government of any nation must, has fluctuated. But the emphasis was on continuity, and the containment policy elaborated in the Truman Administration was generally followed through to the great bloodless victory of the West, as the Soviet Union crumbled and international Communism as we had known it evaporated.

"No one could foresee that, just 30 years after the hammer-and-sickle was hauled down over the Kremlin and Russia reverted to the European borders that it had held when it was only the Grand Duchy of Muscovy 400 years ago, the international Left would have taken over the conservation and ecology bandwagon and manipulated the leading capitalist countries into a savage assault on their own economies to reduce carbon emissions. No one could have anticipated that some African Americans would have celebrated their emancipation and the elevation of an African American president by lionizing antiwhite extremists and producing policing policies that have facilitated a vertiginous spike in violent crime in America. ". . . 

Conrad Black has been one of Canada’s most prominent financiers for 40 years, and was one of the leading newspaper publishers in the world as owner of the British telegraph newspapers, the Fairfax newspapers in Australia, the Jerusalem Post, Chicago Sun-Times and scores of smaller newspapers in the U.S., and most of the daily newspapers in Canada. He is the author of authoritative biographies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, one-volume histories of the United States and Canada, and most recently of Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other. He is a member of the British House of Lords as Lord Black of Crossharbour.

Email Shows Biden Ordered Afghanistan Evacuation Flights Be Filled With Unvetted Refugees

Free Beacon


"During America's chaotic exit from Afghanistan earlier this year, the Biden administration issued a directive that evacuation flights be filled to "excess" with refugees who had not been properly vetted before arriving in America, according to an internal administration communication disclosed on Tuesday by Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.).

" 'Total inflow to the U.S. must exceed the number of seats available. Err on the side of excess," reads an Aug. 16 email to U.S. officials involved in the exit from Afghanistan. "This guidance provides clear discretion and direction to fill seats and to provide special consideration for women and children when we have seats." 

 "Hawley, who says he obtained the email through a U.S. official who was outraged by the Biden administration's failure to vet Afghan refugees flown into America, 

"This email was shared [with] me by an American official present in Afghanistan during the evacuation who was shocked by administration's failure to vet Afghans before they were evacuated," Hawley wrote. "Email details orders from Joe Biden to fill up the planes—even without vetting." . . .

Teaching Children to Recognize Propaganda

Regardless of whether our children go to public, private, or homeschool, they will inevitably be exposed to propaganda. So how do we educate our children—and our own selves in the process—to think and wield the sword against this enemy? A few ideas come to mind.

Annie Holmquist Intellectual Takeout  "When the pandemic hit, school went online and learning seemed to be thrown to the wind. As the pandemic stretched on, many teachers were loath to return to the classroom because of apparent COVID fears. Parents began to question whether teachers were really concerned about or eager to foster their children’s learning, especially as they could see the learning loss that was happening … or rather, the learning that often wasn’t happening at all.

" 'Such fears were groundless, according to Cecily Myart-Cruz, head of the powerful United Teachers Los Angeles union. Myart-Cruz scoffed at the idea of learning loss in a recent interview with Los Angeles Magazine, claiming:

It’s OK that our babies may not have learned all their times tables. They learned resilience. They learned survival. They learned critical-thinking skills. They know the difference between a riot and a protest. They know the words insurrection and coup."

"To the discerning reader, it’s apparent that Myart-Cruz could have stated the above much more succinctly by saying, “Our babies learned propaganda.”

"And in fact, they have been learning that propaganda for many years. Unfortunately, we looked away, convincing ourselves that such propaganda was only in big districts such as Los Angeles, or New York, or Chicago, not in our own local, Middle American neighborhoods. For years we kept our children in those schools, convincing ourselves they were safe, that their teachers and the curriculum they were studying were teaching them good things. That those good things would prepare them for living in the free world, able to embrace truth and recognize error immediately." . . .

I'm gender dysphoric and my pronouns are...

Abigail Shrier in Imprimus    "In 2007, America had one pediatric gender clinic; today there are hundreds. Testosterone is readily available to adolescents from places like Planned Parenthood and Kaiser, often on a first visit—without even a therapist’s note. 

"How did we get to this point? How is it that we are all supposed to pretend that the only way you can know I’m a woman is if I tell you my pronouns? How did we get to an America in which a 13-year-old in the State of Washington can begin “gender affirming” therapy without her parents’ consent? How did we get to an America in which a 15-year-old in Oregon can undergo “top surgery”—elective double mastectomy—without her parents’ permission? And what can we do about it?". . .

. . ."The Court examined the medical protocols applied to Keira Bell—protocols identical to the ones we have in the United States—and was horrified that a young girl had been allowed to consent to begin a process of eliminating her future fertility and sexual function at an age, 15, when she could not possibly have gauged that loss.

"Hailed as a “landmark case” by The Times of London, The Economist, and even The Guardian, Bell’s victory was widely viewed as a serious condemnation of the effort to fast-track teen girls to gender transition. One of the appalling things the Court noted was that the national gender clinic had been unable to show any psychological improvement in the adolescents it had treated with transitioning hormones." . . . 

Is Jill Biden asking about a 'process' for removing Kamala Harris?

Monica Showalter  "It's been known for awhile that the honeymoon between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has pretty much congealed.

"In August, Kamala Harris was reportedly asking about how to get rid of failing old Joe:

Jill Biden Inquiring How to Remove Sitting Vice President: Jack Posobiec Reports


. . . "Not only is Harris not doing her job, she's not even been appearing with Joe at his major speeches anymore. She's refused to appear at several critical ones --- see the tweets on this item here. What's more, Joe's copious praise of her hasn't been heard for months. No more talk about a 'co-presidency.' No more talk about Kamala being the last person in the room -- seems she's not in the room at all." . . .

. . ."Last September, she announced a high-level meeting of U.S. and Mexican officials, which presumably, she'd either lead or be a part of. Somehow, she didn't go, even though the issues she'd put forward as border czar -- such as root causes of illegal immigration -- were on the table. It might have been a matter of her own laziness in not wanting to do her job, which we've seen repeatedly from her. But it also may have been that the Bidenites didn't want her going there. . . "

PETA is down on Doc Fauch!

Fauci under fire from lawmakers after reports of US taxpayer money spent on cruel drug experiments on dogs  Even the masters of the Gulags think Fauci was cruel!  . . . "Dubbing the controversy ‘BeagleGate’, WCW said US-funded research at the Tunisia lab involved drugging puppies and locking their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies to infect them with disease-causing parasites. Researchers also locked beagles in cages overnight in the desert to use them as bait to attract sand flies.

"The aim was to test an experimental drug on the diseased beagles. The dogs were six to eight months old, and they were all killed and dissected upon completion of the tests, according to WCW. NIAID-backed research at the University of Georgia involved injecting beagles with experimental vaccines and infesting them with parasites, the group has said.". . .

Are Vaccine Mandates For Kids Next?

 

Issues & Insights  "It goes without saying that parents almost always know what’s best for their kids. But the FDA and woke officials in the White House and Congress don’t agree. They intend to force COVID vaccines on your kids, whether you like it or not. Don’t let them. It’s politics, not science.

"In a desperate bid to find more COVID victims to save with experimental vaccines, the Federal Drug Administration just gave the Pfizer anti-COVID vaccine “emergency use” authorization for children aged 5-11. Get ready for a big propaganda push.

"The unanimous vote by the 17 members of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee wasn’t without misgivings, though.

“ 'It is reassuring to me that we are giving a lower dose,” said Dr. Paul Offit, head of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The dose is a third of the full adult load.

“ 'I am just worried that if we say yes, then the states are going to mandate administration of this vaccine for children to go to school and I do not agree with that,” added Dr. Cody Meissner, a professor of pediatrics at Tufts University School of Medicine. “I think that would be an error at this time.” 

“ 'One big issue was the theoretical risk of myocarditis – an inflammatory heart condition,” a CNN news story noted. “It’s been seen in some people who got Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and is more common among young men, although it’s usually mild. Not enough young children were tested to show whether they’re also at risk.” (Emphasis ours.)". . . 

'Any man who takes six months of leave for a newborn is a loser': Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur slams Pete Buttigieg for taking paternity leave and says 'correct masculine response' is for men to 'work harder to provide for kids' future'

Hey, that guy said it; not me. Didn't someone comment that Pete was gone and nobody noticed? TD

 UK Daily Mail  "A Silicon Valley venture capitalist says that men who take six months of paternity leave are ‘losers’ and that ‘in the old days men had babies and worked harder to provide for their future’ which was ‘the correct masculine response.’

"Joe Lonsdale weighed into the raging debate sparked by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s decision to take paternity leave after he and his husband, Chasten, welcomed adopted twins into their family.

"Buttigieg was criticized for taking paid time off while the country continues to suffer from the effects of a major logjam at ports that has exacerbated the supply chain crisis."...

"Buttigieg, 39, has been on paid leave since mid-August to spend time with his family. 

"Lonsdale, a co-founder of global software giant Palantir Technologies and current managing partner of 8VC, was reacting on Wednesday to a segment on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is streamed daily on Spotify.

"Rogan agreed with Lonsdale’s view that men should not be entitled to paid time off to spend with their newborn children.". . .
