China Lied & Millions Died, A Tale Of Two Investigations, One Year Later

Gary Bauer

by Gary Bauer: China Lied & Millions Died.
When the coronavirus was ravaging America and the world last year, a debate erupted over its origin. One view was that someone in China ate an infected bat and caught the disease. A year and a half later, 600,000 Americans and 3.5 million people around the world were dead.

The Trump Administration raised a more likely possibility -- that COVID leaked from a bio-research lab known to be experimenting with these types of viruses in Wuhan, China, the same city where COVID-19 first appeared.

The Chinese Communist Party furiously rejected that idea. The media, Dr. Anthony Fauci and congressional Democrats immediately sided with the Chinese Communist Party. They mocked Trump and anyone else who dared to question communist China. When Trump referred to the disease as the "China virus," they accused him of racism.

As time passed, evidence for COVID's natural occurrence remained elusive. And numerous scientists and officials have continued to insist that the preponderance of evidence points to the Wuhan lab.

These aren't kooks and crackpots. I'm referring to statements from former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, former CDC Director Robert Redfield, former FDA Administrator Scott Gottlieb, former HHS Assistant Secretary Admiral Brett Giroir and former Director National IntelligenceJohn Ratcliffe.

This week, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that three workers at the Wuhan lab were hospitalized in November 2019 with all the symptoms of the coronavirus.

Even Dr. Fauci is changing his tune. Now he says he's not totally convinced that COVID developed naturally, adding, "We should continue to investigate what went on in China." And Politifact has retracted its "fact check" supposedly debunking the lab leak theory.

Once again, it appears that Trump was right. This episode is another sad example of the fake news media's failure to do its job of objective journalism. Our media spent four years reflexively opposing anything Donald Trump said and did. They attacked Donald Trump and gave communist China the benefit of the doubt!

In this case, the implications couldn't be greater. Communist China is not a normal country. It is engaged in genocide. It always lies. Our media repeated China's lies, and 600,000 Americans died. We must have a full American-led investigation into COVID's origins to discover the truth.

But we won't get that from the Biden Administration, which continues to insist that the World Health Organization (WHO) lead any investigation. That's right – the same WHO that is hopelessly compromised by communist China.

A Tale Of Two Investigations
The left is insisting that the breaching of the Capitol on January 6th by an unruly pro-Trump crowd was the greatest assault on Congress since the War of 1812 when the British set fire to the building. That is another lie. Whatever your view is on the events of January 6th, they were not a threat to our Republic. Nor were they unprecedented.

For example, in March 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the visitors' gallery and shot five members of the House of Representatives.

In the aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1968, riots broke out in 140 U.S. cities. In Washington, D.C., 6,100 people were arrested, over 1,000 were injured and 16 people were killed. U.S. Marines mounted machine guns on the steps of the Capitol, and the Third Infantry Regiment prevented the rioters from sacking the White House.

Over the last 18 months, America's Constitution and our liberty have been threatened, but not by conservatives.

When the coronavirus came roaring out of communist China, it delivered a horrible blow to our country. Nearly 600,000 Americans have died. Our constitutional rights were severely restricted, including freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and due process.

It is imperative that we get the truth about the origins of the virus and communist China's lies and disinformation, which contributed to a world-wide disaster.

Yet, the only investigation of interest to Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi is the January 6th investigation. That investigation helps the left smear and demonize the 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump. An investigation into communist China and COVID is of no interest to the left.

A thorough investigation of COVID's origins could uncover inconvenient truths and expose the deep reach of the Chinese communists into the highest levels of the U.S. government, business and academia.

Confronting Communist China
The Senate is expected to consider the Endless Frontier Act this week. This bi-partisan legislation will spend $100 billion at American universities to counter communist China's aggressive efforts to dominate the world in critical technologies like quantum computing, artificial intelligence and semiconductor manufacturing.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, praised the bill as a good start and a needed initiative. But Rubio warned:

"The problem is it pours all this money into research and development. But as of today, and I hope that will change, it doesn't have safeguards in place to keep that from being stolen. . . It's crazy. It's nuts."

Rubio is absolutely right. As we have previously reported, communist China has seriously infiltrated higher education in America.

For example, the chair of Harvard University's chemistry department was charged last year for lying about his work with communist China's Thousand Talents program. Earlier this month, a professor at Ohio State University was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the Thousand Talents program.

In fact, the problem is so severe that the National Institutes of Health recently admitted that it is investigating "over 500 scientists of concern." And FBI Director Christopher Wray testified last month that his agency is "opening a new investigation into [Chinese spying] every 10 hours."

We should do whatever it takes to maintain America's edge in critical advanced technology. But we should also do whatever it takes to maintain our national security and prevent communist China's espionage and the theft of our technology.

One Year Later
Today marks the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death, a horrific tragedy that triggered weeks of violent rioting and launched various social justice movements, some good, some bad.

While the debate over policing techniques has yielded some reforms, violent crime has surged. In Minneapolis, murders have doubled, and carjackings are up 222%. Now the left-wing mayor of Minneapolis admits that "defunding the police" was a disaster.

Unfortunately, the left's insanity wasn't isolated to Minneapolis. Other so-called "progressive" cities attacked their police departments with predictable results. As Heather Mac Donald notes:

"The U.S. saw the largest annual percentage increase in homicides in recorded history in 2020. That increase has continued in 2021. . . Through May 16, the number of shooting victims in New York City is up 78.6% over a year ago. In the Bronx, the number is up 165.7%."

Is this to be George Floyd's legacy – even more needless death and destruction?

If Black Lives Matter – and they do – why isn't Joe Biden lowering the White House flag for the 55 people shot and 12 killed in Chicago this past weekend?

The fact of the matter is that the police are not the enemy. Criminals are. We need police to maintain law and order, to keep our streets safe and, yes, to save black lives.

But the radical left doesn't see it that way. The Marxist co-founder of the Black Lives Matter organization said that she has "always wanted to fight the police," whom she described as "terrorists."

Corporations giving money to her organization should be ashamed.

Our Flag Matters
The Biden Administration has given our foreign embassies permission to fly the BLM flag for the rest of the year. This is outrageous!

The only flag that should ever fly outside of an American embassy is the American flag. It says to the host country, "American Lives Matter."

The Supreme Court Sets the Stage for the 2022 Midterm Elections

by Mary Szoch: Instead of political party leaders setting the agenda for the mid-term elections, the Supreme Court decided to take over that role. The court's decision to review Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and answer whether all pre-viability abortion bans are unconstitutional, placed overturning Roe v. Wade at center stage heading into mid-terms. The problem is most Americas do not know what Roe did, and consequently, as Scott Rasmussen points out on "Washington Watch," most Americas do not know what overturning Roe would do. Education surrounding Roe v. Wade will have a major impact on how the issue plays out politically.

When Roe v. Wade and its companion case, Doe v. Bolton were decided in 1973, the Supreme Court's rulings overturned nearly every state law regarding abortion. The Roe decision prevented states from limiting abortion in the first trimester, allowed for state regulation in the interest of a woman's health in the second trimester, and allowed states to outlaw abortion in the third trimester except when necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother; however, the decision handed down in Doe has been interpreted to say that Roe's health exception must include mental health. As a result, unless a state passes laws stating otherwise, abortion through all nine months of pregnancy is the default state law.

Even in the 1970s, when it was virtually impossible for an average person to recognize an unborn child in an ultrasound, <79 percent of Americans disagreed with Roe's findings. Today, as Rasmussen mentioned, "A large number of people believe that it's too easy to get an abortion in America. In fact, that's the plurality position. So the idea of tightening some restrictions is not, as people on the political left would have you believe, something that is greatly opposed by the American people. There is a desire to place some restrictions."

In fact, 76 percent of Americans including 55 percent who identify as pro-choice, want abortion restricted to the first three months of pregnancy -- indicating that Americans want abortion laws significantly more restrictive than the one the Supreme Court is reviewing in Dobbs, which restricts abortions after 15 weeks.

Though 76 percent of Americans disagree with Roe's findings because of confusion over what overturning Roe would do, 70 percent of Americans say they do not want Roe overturned. As Rasmussen mentioned, "A majority of voters do not know what would happen if Roe v. Wade was overturned. Thirty percent think that abortion would be outlawed everywhere in the country. Twenty-six percent simply don't know what would happen."

Regardless, Rasmussen says, if abortion becomes a bigger issue (and the Supreme Court is certainly helping to make it one), the slight edge that Republicans have in their pro-life enthusiasm could come in to play in a major way in 2022. "The [intensity] is generally on the pro-life side." So, Scott said, depending on what happens, "I think it helps get Republican turnout even stronger. We're already seeing Republicans more fired up about the midterm elections than Democrats. Obviously, there's a very long way to go. But for many Democrats, the primary reason that turnout in 2020 was to get Donald Trump out of office. So that would remove from the equation." If the Supreme Court drops a bombshell, he acknowledged, all bets are off.

If Roe is overturned, state legislatures will make their own abortion laws. It would "allow states to...identify themselves as either pro-life or pro-abortion. And...if people feel strongly about it, they can move to another state." Tony Perkins stated. If this year's 536 pieces of state level pro-life legislation including 146 abortion bans, are any indication, people certainly feel strongly about abortion, and they are electing legislators who will reflect their views.

Of course, that was the intention behind the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. There is no "right" to an abortion listed in the Constitution. As such, the power to rule on the constitutionality of abortion should never have been in the hands of the Supreme Court.

Right now, America's laws on abortion are some of the most barbaric in the world, putting the U.S. on equal footing with human rights violators like China and North Korea. If the Supreme Court rules to overturn Roe in Dobbs, states will have the opportunity to change that. The future of pro-life legislation should be at the forefront of voters' minds during the upcoming midterm elections -- and during every election. Electing pro-life state legislators will result in pro-life laws, and for unborn babies in America, the stakes have never been higher.

How Texas Killed Covid

Dr. Ron Paul

by Ron Paul: In March, Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas would open for business 100 percent without a statewide mask mandate. The pro-lockdown “experts” were shocked. If a state as big as Texas joined Florida and succeeded in thumbing its nose at “the science” – which told us that for the first time in history healthy people should be forced to stay in their houses and wear oxygen-restricting face masks – then the lockdown narrative would begin falling apart.

President Biden famously attacked the decision as “Neanderthal thinking.” Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa warned that, with this order, Abbott would “kill Texans.” Incoming CDC Director Rochelle Walensky tearfully told us about her feelings of “impending doom.”

When the poster child for Covid lockdowns Dr. Fauci was asked several weeks later why cases and deaths continued to evaporate in Texas, he answered simply, “I’m not sure.” That moment may have been a look at the man behind the proverbial curtain, who projected his power so confidently until confronted with reality.

Now a new study appearing as a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, highlighted recently in Reason Magazine, has found “no evidence that the reopening affected the rate of new COVID-19 cases in the five-week period following the reopening. ...State-level COVID-19 mortality rates were unaffected by the March 10 reopening."

In other words, not only did the doom and gloom predicted by the lockdown fanatics fail to materialize, but the steady, seasonal downward trend of the virus toward extinction continued regardless of government action. As we have repeated for a year on the Liberty Report, the virus was going to virus regardless of anything we did about it. And Texas proved it.

However, some very important questions remain to be answered as the Covid panic across the United States is finally starting to recede.

First, will anyone be held responsible for the thousands who died because of the prohibition on safe treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin that have since been shown to be effective against Covid-19? As soon as Donald Trump mentioned that hydroxychloroquine might be effective against the virus, the “experts” circled the wagons. It was banned for use, until it later was quietly un-banned.

The politicization of medicine is anti-science, anti-human, and anti-American. Will those who needlessly died due to this politicization finally get their justice?

Second, though Abbott deserves credit for taking the bold step, shouldn’t he be held accountable for closing the state in the first place? After all, when someone has been punching you in the face and then they stop, do you thank them for letting up or do you ask why they punched you in the first place? Will all the tyrannical rule-by-decree orders across the United States be stricken from the books? Or will they just be allowed to do this again for any reason they choose?

Third, thanks to Senator Rand Paul, we are now all aware of Dr. Fauci’s role in funding gain-of-function research on viruses in China. Will we be able to find out exactly why we are being forced to pay for the mad scientist research into how to create more deadly viruses? Can we opt-out of this funding?

Though Greg Abbott deserves much criticism for shutting Texas down, his re-opening decree effectively ended Covid tyranny across the country. We are thankful for that. Now we must resolve to never let this happen again.

Biden's 'Gas Tax' Is a Pain at the Pump

by Stephen Moore: One of my early memories, and not a happy one, is sitting in gas lines in the 1970s. My parents would rustle me out of bed early on frigid February mornings, and we'd pack into the Ford and speed over to the gas station.

When we got there, there would often be six or seven cars in front of us. Sometimes, we'd wait 20 or 30 minutes for a fill-up. And we'd notice that every few weeks there would be someone on a ladder posting a higher price on the 20-foot-high sign. It always sticks in my memory because even though I was only about 12 years old, it was a shocking indicator that something terribly wrong was going on in our country. I couldn't understand how a bunch of Saudi oil sheikhs could hijack the greatest nation on earth.

Fast-forward four decades, and for the first time in my life, we had a president, Donald Trump, who made America energy-independent again. In the last week of December 2020, the United States imported zero oil from Saudi Arabia. Hooray! In the wake of the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline, one of our major domestic energy pipelines, the 1970s malaise was brought back into focus. In many parts of the Southeast, there was no gas to be had at any price because of the supply disruptions. Alas, this wasn't just a result of some evil foreign hackers. This is the predictable outcome when we have a president who teams with the radical green left and declares war on American energy.

President Joe Biden has said that he wants to eliminate American fossil fuels over the next 15 years. He's doing his best to keep that promise, starting with his cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline. (How deranged does that seem today?) A few weeks later, he stopped oil and gas drilling on federal lands. We have some $30 trillion to $50 trillion of energy resources underneath federal lands and federal waters.

This "America last" energy policy is not just a frontal assault on our economy, transportation system and national security. It is a policy that imposes a hefty tax on the poorest people. According to AAA, when Biden was elected, the average gasoline price across America was $2.20 a gallon. Since then, the price has risen every month, and on May 15 of this year, the average gas price hit $3.04.

Make no mistake: this 84-cent-per-gallon price hike is a highly regressive "tax" on motorists, just as lower gas prices during the Trump administration were the equivalent of a tax cut for consumers. I doubt that billionaire Democratic donors such as Mike Bloomberg, Tom Steyer or Bill and Melinda Gates, who are significant financial supporters of the war on fossil fuels, care much that gas prices are rising.

But for the rest of us, when the price of a fill-up rises by $10 or $12, that's a genuine financial hardship. That's especially true for those on fixed incomes or earning less than $50,000 a year. Yes, indeed, gas prices are often out of the direct control of the president. Biden didn't cause the Colonial Pipeline sabotage. But if you want people to stop using oil and gas, what better way to achieve that than by making it much more expensive to buy? What did the White House brainiacs think would happen to gas prices if we stop building pipelines, erect new Environmental Protection Agency regulations designed to kill oil and gas exploration from Texas up to North Dakota, and outlaw drilling in many areas of the country?

Biden seems oblivious to all this pain as he visits electric car plants and gleefully test-drives these new vehicles. That's fine. But even if every car bought starting tomorrow was battery-operated, and even if people could afford the $50,000-plus price tag, we'd still need gas for vehicles already on the road for at least the next 20 years. Where are we going to get it? The Saudis?

Meanwhile, the poorest people are now paying his green tax at the gas pump. Most amazingly, Biden still has a straight face while saying that no one with an income of less than $400,000 a year will pay higher taxes under his economic plan. Come on, Joe. Get out of the Washington bubble, and go to a gas station. People of all incomes are paying your gas "tax."

Merkel Flips Off Biden's Protest -- to Buy Putin's Gas

by Patrick J. Buchanan: When the U.S. created NATO, a primary purpose of the alliance was to serve as a western wall to defend Germany against the 400,000 Russian troops on the eastern side of the Elbe River.

Seventy years later, Germany has decided to double its dependence on Vladimir Putin's Russia for the natural gas needed to run the German economy, despite the opposition of her great protector, the USA.

The Biden administration decided to waive sanctions on Matthias Warnig, the ally of Putin whose company, Nord Stream 2 AG, is laying the pipeline beneath the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany that is now 95% complete.

When done, Nord Stream 2 will make Moscow Germany's principal supplier of natural gas, and cut Kyiv out of hundreds of millions in transit fees it annually receives for letting Russian gas pass through Ukraine to Germany.

Previously, Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken had seemed resolute in opposition. Said Blinken:

"We think the (Nord Stream 2) pipeline is a bad idea. It advances Russia's interests and undermines Europe's interests and our own. It actually goes against the very principles that the EU has set out in terms of energy security and not being too dependent on any one country, notably, in this case, Russia."

As late as March, the Biden administration had made clear its commitment to complying with sanctions legislation put in place with bipartisan support in Congress, and had called on companies involved in Nord Stream 2 to "immediately abandon work on the pipeline."

Ukraine is stunned and outraged. Its parliament, the Rada, has passed a resolution urging Congress to "use all available tools provided by US law to completely and irreversibly stop the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline by applying blocking sanctions against all participants in this Russian geopolitical project."

Why did Biden and Blinken fold? Was it to set the table for the Biden's June summit with Putin?

The decisive factor was probably that Nord Stream 2 is just about complete and America's principal continental ally, Germany, is wholly committed to the project. Prime Minister Angela Merkel, who is leaving office this year, approved the deal with Putin's Russia and her legacy is now tied to its completion.

Germany's dependence on Russian gas is certain to grow as Berlin, as it plans to do, phases out its coal and nuclear power plants.

This raises a question about NATO, and the commitment of its 30 members to treat an attack against one as an attack against all.

Would a Germany that is doubling its dependency on Russia for the natural gas that fuels its economy be willing to go to war against that same Russia, and send German troops to fight alongside NATO?

Would Berlin be willing to declare war on its own gas station?

Biden's climbdown on opposition to Nord Stream 2 is startling from another standpoint. He and his team have shown themselves to be true climate change zealots who want to see gas and oil rapidly phased out.

On his first day in office, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, enraging the Canadians and killing off 11,000 American jobs. Biden then outlawed any new drilling permits for oil or gas on federal lands.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer just told a Canadian energy company, Enbridge, it must shut down a controversial oil and gas pipeline that passes under the Straits of Mackinac, amid rising fears that a spill would be catastrophic to the region.

For 67 years, Enbridge has moved oil and gas from western Canada through Michigan and the Great Lakes to refineries in Ontario.

But Michigan now says that this one section of the pipeline is too risky to continue operating.

Earlier in May, America got a wake-up call about the vulnerability of its energy supply. Colonial Pipeline, which carries refined gasoline and jet fuel from Texas up the East Coast to New York, was forced to shut down after being hit by ransomware.

The attack was apparently the act of a criminal group, not a nation-state. But the damage done was considerable.

Half the gas stations in several states on the Eastern seaboard had to close when their gasoline pumps were exhausted by long lines of panicked motorists. To get their pipeline fully operating again, Colonial had to pay millions.

This demonstrated the vulnerability of the U.S. energy system and its new technology to the kind of cyberattacks that enemies far more serious than the criminal gang who launched the attack on the Colonial Pipeline could launch.

Fifty years ago, we confronted a grave threat to U.S. energy security and independence: an oil embargo imposed by the Saudis and other Arab OPEC countries in retaliation for Richard Nixon's military aid that enabled Israel to survive and prevail in the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

Are we still prepared for something of that magnitude?

Bongino is a Welcome Voice in our Fight for Liberty

Dan Bongino

by Rick Manning: While no one will ever replace Rush Limbaugh, conservative commentator Dan Bongino now fills Limbaugh’s mid-day radio slot in many cities across the country.

Bongino kicked off his new radio show this week by interviewing former President Donald Trump, who gave listeners a glimpse into his thoughts about 2024.

“Well, I’ll tell you what. We are going to make you very happy, and we’re going to do what’s right. And we’ve done a great job for the country, rebuilt our military, and had the greatest economy ever twice,” Trump said when told by Bongino that people were “dying to hear” if he’d make another bid for the White House. “You know, we rebuilt it — then the world collapsed. … Then we built it again, with the stock market was higher than it was even the first time. But we’re going to do the right thing.”

“We’re very proud of what we’ve done, and we’ll let you know at the right time, Dan, but certainly I’m looking at it very seriously,” Trump concluded.

Dan has been a good friend of mine personally and a loyal friend and support of Americans for Limited Government for many years. I’ve watched him work extraordinarily hard to build a national brand for his hard-nosed, common-sense defense of liberty. His success is a triumph for all of us who fight to protect liberty and freedom, and nothing could make me happier. Few people have worked as hard for their “overnight” success as Dan. Dan will provide the kind of fresh perspective that they came to expect from the man behind the Golden EIB microphone.

Bongino is a former Secret Service Agent, NYPD Officer and New York Times best-selling author.

If you missed Bongino’s debut show, you can find it here at Bongino.com when it is posted.

Jew-Hatred On The Rise, Stop Importing Hate, Our Open Borders

Gary Bauer

by Gary Bauer: Jew-Hatred On The Rise
We now know the full extent of the anti-Semitic savagery that has swept the United States. From coast to coast, synagogues have been vandalized. American Jews have been chased down by cars, attacked by mobs and verbally harassed in the worst outbreak of anti-Semitism this country has seen in decades.

In virtually every case, the attacks took place in large cities. They were committed by Middle Eastern men waving Palestinian flags. Left-wing extremists frequently joined in the attacks.

These are Democrat-controlled cities from top to bottom. Any president would have an obligation to condemn anti-Semitism, but Democrat Joe Biden, who is always eager to wag his finger at alleged bigotry and police misconduct, has a particular obligation to do so.

This morning, Biden finally did denounce anti-Semitism – in a tweet. That's too little too late. Where's the forceful, passionate statement from the White House podium that should air on the evening news to seen by millions of Americans?

The sad reality is that there is a growing hate-Israel movement on the left.

• You can see it in the halls of Congress when so-called "progressive" politicians like, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Omar and Tlaib spread lies about Israel.
• Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and even Barack Obama, love getting their pictures taken with Louis Farrakhan, America's leading anti-Semite.
• The Black Lives Matter organization has cast its lot with anti-Semitic Palestinian extremists too.
• Even the gay rights movement isn't so tolerant when it comes to Israel.
• Remember the left-wing Women's March group that protested against Donald Trump after his inauguration? It banned pro-Israel Jewish women from its leadership. Later key co-founders were fired for their raw anti-Semitism.

Biden and leading Democrats must find their voice. This hatred will consume the party of FDR, Harry Truman and JFK unless brave Democrats condemn it and expel the haters from their ranks.

I have a friend who has lived in Paris for a while, and often commented on what life must have been like before and during World War II. He recently noticed people marching through his neighborhood chanting, "Death to the Jews!" He saw an Israeli flag with the Star of David replaced with a swastika.

Instead of wondering whether he would have hidden Jews in his attic in the 1930s or 1940s, he's wondering what he will do now. All of us must ask ourselves that same question now.

Stop Importing Hate
Every day the left and its media allies are telling us that America is systemically racist, that whites are especially racist, that blacks like Justice Clarence Thomas, Sen. Tim Scott and Dr. Alveda King aren't really black because they refuse to engage in the left's smear of America.

With all this emphasis on hatred and violence, why is it so difficult for the American left to find its voice and call out anti-Semitism? Perhaps it is because the victims and perpetrators don't fit a convenient leftist narrative.

The attacks aren't happening in "Trump country," but in urban, liberal America. And the perpetrators are Muslim Palestinians, part of the left's coalition.

All of this raises serious questions about our globalist-driven immigration policy, which is bringing into the country millions of people from the most anti-Semitic nations.

When President Trump called for a moratorium on immigration from countries linked to terrorism, the left attacked him as a bigot. While I was pleased to support the president's position, I thought he should have gone further.

We should be calling for an immigration moratorium not only on nations infected with terrorism, but also nations with statistically provable high-levels of hatred for Christians and Jews. Instead, the flood gates are wide open, and we are bringing every ancient hatred right here into the United States.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has written extensively on the need for Western nations to control immigration and seriously vet the commitment of immigrants to the values of free speech, religious liberty, respect for women and the rule of law. Allowing millions of people to come here who hate our values, and Jews and Christians in particular, is suicidal.

The failure to address this shows how the whole "hate crimes/white supremacy" narrative is a just a political farce intended to silence conservatives without any real commitment to stopping hate in America because we continue importing more of it.

Our Open Borders
A Fox News video taken this weekend shows exactly what's happening at our southern border. A group of 40 illegal aliens were chased by two Border Patrol agents – one on foot and one in his vehicle. Not surprisingly, most of the migrant men escaped.

America is the greatest nation on earth. We are the most powerful nation on earth. We sacrifice our blood and treasure to secure the borders of countries in far off places. We encircled the Capitol building with National Guard troops for months to ensure the security of our elected officials.

But we leave our border wide open, with just a few Border Patrol agents trying to figure out which of the dozens of illegal aliens they should pursue. This is beyond stupid.

Are we to assume that our enemies are also this stupid?

You name the enemy – North Korea, radical Islamists, the drug cartels, Chinese communists, Vladimir Putin. Pick one. Are they really too stupid to see that video and not realize the obvious – that the easiest way to infiltrate the country is across the southern border?

The Iranian government has bragged it has terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. How is that possible? Well, with liberal immigration laws and an open border, it would be impossible for that not to be true!

As I have noted many times before, border security is national security, and people are dying because of our open borders.

Gov. Greg Abbott said yesterday that Texas border officials have seen an 800% increase in the amount of fentanyl seized at the border this year, "enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman and child in the entire state of New York."

Biden Bails On Notre Dame
There's a tradition of sorts for a new president to deliver the commencement address at Notre Dame – Jimmy Carter in 1977, Ronald Reagan in 1981, George W. Bush in 2001, Barack Obama in 2009 and Mike Pence on behalf of President Trump in 2017. This year, Notre Dame extended an invitation to President Biden, but he declined due to a scheduling conflict.

The backstory is much more complicated. Biden's invitation was tremendously controversial due to his aggressive support for abortion and other policies that are hostile to religious liberty. There is a debate raging now among the nation's Catholic bishops as to whether pro-abortion politicians should be allowed to take communion.

Of all the outrages our eyes are forced to see and all the false claims our ears are forced to hear, at least we won't be forced to endure Joe Biden standing at the podium of America's leading Catholic university, with the blood of unborn children dripping from his hands, as he talks about bringing us all together.

Eisenhower Also Predicted Fake Science, Virus Lockdowns, Big Tech and Leftist Colleges

Nostradamus with Five Stars

by Seton Motley, Contributing Author: In 1961, on his way out the White House door, President Dwight Eisenhower gave his Farewell Address. Or what has come to be known as the “Military-Industrial Complex” speech.

It became thusly known – because historians are almost entirely Leftist. Leftists don’t like the military. And Leftists like (while only selectively presenting) what Eisenhower had to say about it:“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.”This was Eisenhower warning about the military sinking into the Swamp. With its leaders becoming slaves to the Deep State. Very, very prescient.

Our military procurement process has largely transmogrified from what’s best for the nation’s defense – to what’s best for weapons-makers. And what’s best for the most powerfully-bribed members of Congress – many of whom have often-obsolete military bases in their districts.

And our military advancement process has gone from merit-based – to “woke”-based. The more Leftist you are – the higher up the ladder you go. Traditional military personnel who believe in original military priorities – are now actually driven out of the armed forces.

Our Leftist historians stopped there in Eisenhower’s speech. Eisenhower did not:“Akin to and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial military posture has been the technological revolution during the recent decades. In this revolution, research has become central. It also becomes more formalized, complex and costly.

“A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by or at the direction of the federal government. Today, the solitary inventor tinkering in his shop has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields.

“In the same fashion the free university – historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery – has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

“Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

“It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”This is Eisenhower being even more visionary than he was about the Deep State Swamp military. But because he preemptively outs several Leftist takeovers of major US institutions – our Leftist historians never, ever mention it.

We often warn of Leftist money warping and poisoning. Government money is worse. Government money pretends to be non-partisan. But as we’ve seen for many decades, it is almost always pro-Left – and is ALWAYS pro-government. Government will only spend government money on things that expand government.

Eisenhower first warns of government money in science – which has now politicized and thus ruined science. And with it the colleges and universities – where much of our scientific research is conducted.

Decades of government money have poisoned entirely the science well.

“Global Warming” – oops, I mean “Climate Change” – is a quintessential example. Government self-justifies getting bigger when “Climate Change” research says this fake problem is real. So guess which “Climate Change” research and researchers get government money – and which do not?

We are only now beginning to emerge from a year-plus of titanically stupid government lockdowns in fear of a flu. This happened in large part because We the Sheeple entirely outsourced our thinking to these unimpressive, corrupt, government-funded “scientists.” Who keep saying things that are obviously wrong – and imposing policies that are obviously antithetical to Reality.

With these fake scientists providing “justification,” government mass-expanded its powers – and We the Sheeple suppliantly submitted. Even now, after delivery of the Donald Trump vaccines – government still refuses to give up the powers it grabbed.

And Eisenhower foresaw government poison – spreading to poison the private sector. Again:“(W)e must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”A “scientific-technological elite?” Big Tech, anyone?

As if we are living in a Godzilla movie, government poison has spawned all sorts of massive private sector monsters. Amazon and Google, Apple and Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter – Big Tech has now nigh entirely captured our society – and its public policy.

Government doesn’t make a move – unless and until that move is pre-approved by our Big Tech elite.

Section 230 is the massive-cronyism government poison that created these beasts. So of course these beasts will never allow it to be altered in any way – let alone be ended.

Big Tech gets the trade and immigration policy they want. They get to export as many jobs as they can – and import cheaper foreigners to fill the ones they can’t.

Big Tech gets the tax policy they want. They often pay literally ZERO tax – while insisting upon tax increases for We the Sheeple.

And of course the area where Big Tech most dominates our public policy – is its domination of our public discourse. Speech precedes deeds. Before Congress does something – it hears about it from We the People.

Not anymore. If Big Tech doesn’t approve of your speech – your speech is erased by Big Tech. If Big Tech doesn’t like you – you are erased by Big Tech.

Real news that is damaging to Big Tech’s preferred policies and political candidates – is erased. Fake news that helps Big Tech’s preferred policies and political candidates – is amplified.

And when Big Tech erases you – you are as good as gone. Ask Parler. Because Big Tech is now the gatekeeper on all things speech.

Google dominates 92% of the Web Search and attending advertising market. And Google doesn’t like conservatives – so their Search results don’t return conservatives.

I’m sure this isn’t outsized influence of our public policy….Here’s How Google Can Shift 15 Million Votes Without Anyone Realizing ItBig Tech takes news outlets’ content – and with it their audiences and revenue. Before you read a news story – you see it on Big Tech. (Unless, of course, Big Tech decides you shouldn’t read it – Hunter Biden’s laptop, anyone?)

Many conservative people and groups looking to…speak – pay Big Tech billions of dollars to run ads to acquire Follows and Likes. And then Big Tech rewrites its algorithms – and nigh all traffic to these pages instantaneously evaporates. Bait and switch, anyone? But Big Tech keeps the money. Because of course.

Dwight David Nostradamus Eisenhower predicted all of this Big Tech-Government dominance of our public policy. And warned us about it.

If only We the Sheeple had listened.

Dishonoring Martin Luther King's Legacy

Martin Luther King

Bill Donohue comments on how Rev. Martin Luther King’s work is being undermined:

The legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King is being dishonored on a daily basis. Those who are trashing his noble record are not white supremacists; rather, they are professionals who claim to be fighting racism. These people work primarily in education, law, and the media. Regrettably, they are as heavily populated in the for-profit sector of the economy as they are the non-profit sector.

It was in King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech where he articulated his vision of America. While he made several references to problems that blacks were faced with, ranging from discrimination in public accommodations to police brutality, he did so against the backdrop of respect for the American commitment to liberty, equality and justice for all. Indeed, his “dream” was based on his conviction that these goals would eventually be reached.

Unlike today, where street anarchists and professional agitators are tearing down statues of American icons, King was celebrating these heroic figures. He opened his speech by referencing the Emancipation Proclamation, calling its author (Lincoln) “a great American.” He also credited the Founders, whom he called “the architects of our republic,” for writing “the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.”

King knew that the goals of these documents were a work in progress, but he was wise enough to know that the Founders gave us “this promissory note,” without which appeals to liberty, equality and justice were impotent. “America has given the Negro people a bad check,” he noted, but “we refuse to believe the bank of justice is bankrupt.” He never gave up hope, insisting that “Now is the time to make justice for all of God’s children.” That was a very Christian response.

Now contrast what King said with what our new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations recently said. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told reporters in New York City that “the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles.” Wrong. It was our inalienable rights that were weaved into our founding documents and principles.

King would have been appalled. He had nothing but praise and admiration for our founding documents and principles. His problem was with our failure to make good on what they embodied, namely the contents of the American creed.

Indeed, it was precisely the documents and principles that galvanized him to act—they were the “promissory note.” If anything, the existential reality of white supremacy at the time of the founding was the complete opposite of what our creed entailed, and it was this inconsistency that he used, to great effect, to leverage the civil rights movement.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

This classic statement by King is now seen as contemptible by those who promote critical race theory. The proponents expressly judge people by the color of their skin, treating the content of their character as meaningless. Their demonization of white people—asking them to repent for their alleged positions of privilege—is patently racist. To them, the individual does not count; only his collective ascribed status does. Ironically, that’s what the slavemasters believed about blacks.

Martin Luther King would be very happy with legislation recently passed in Idaho. This law prohibits public schools from teaching that “any sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior.” Who objects? Critical race theory advocates. This explains why the entire Oklahoma City School Board of Education slammed a law that is based on the Idaho legislation. One critic said the non-discrimination law was done to “protect white fragility.”

The governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, sounded very much like King when he said, “I firmly believe that not one cent of taxpayer money should be used to define and divide Oklahomans by their race or sex.” He added that “We can, and should, teach this history without labeling a young child as a ‘oppressor’ or requiring he or she feel guilt or shame based on their race or sex.”

Rev. Martin Luther King sought to bring the races together. Today’s brand of “anti-racism and discrimination” activists seek to drive the races apart. In doing so they are at odds with the principles upon which our nation was founded. Indeed, they are fomenting racism, thus dishonoring King’s legacy.

Wooden Noses

by Paul Jacob: “The core of the dispute is this,” declares The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” column: “Did the virus emerge from nature — ‘zoonotically’ from animals — or was it the result of a lab experiment gone awry?”

Ah, modern journalism: even when dealing with some actual facts, is the real point to maneuver the reader not to consider possibilities?

In “Fact-checking the Paul-Fauci flap over Wuhan lab funding,” the Post’s fact-checkers seem most concerned to tell readers that while it is now OK to question the origin of SARS-CoV-2, still, only within limits: as between normal viral evolution and an accident regarding gain-of-function research into viruses.

Outside this Overton Window, though, readers are still being instructed not to think about sabotage, conspiracy and biochemical warfare.

The upshot of the Post piece?

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) gets “two Pinocchios” for his alleged overstatements about NIH funding of Wuhan gain-of-function research.

After the Post’s listicle treatment of relevant facts, though, if you came to a different distribution of wooden noses — say, giving a few to Dr. Anthony Fauci, instead — you could make a plausible case.

After all, when Fauci himself says that he’s not convinced that the pandemic was not human-created — despite telling Rand Paul that the senator’s facts were “entirely and completely incorrect” — we should take that not merely as a cue to accept the Post’s latest Overton Window placement.

I say, open up that window all the way.

On Medium, science writer Nicholas Wade treated the actual evidence seriously, discovering that “the science” we were fed early on — the “science” that insisted that the gain-of-function story was highly unlikely — was actually orchestrated by the NIH’s subcontractor at Wuhan.

If you smell a rat — or a bat — at this point?

Your schnozz is in working order.

This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Note: While trying to put this story to bed, The Wall Street Journal broke news that “Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.” Previous coverage: here. --------------------------------

Nancy Pelosi again caught without a mask. Will she fine herself like she did Republicans?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi schmoozes with Democrats while unmasked after fining GOP lawmakers for not masking.
by Frank McCaffrey: According to a story in the Post Millennial, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued fines to Republican lawmakers who insisted on following CDC guidance and remained unmasked on the House floor. Pelosi then went to an event at the White House where she and other unmasked Democrats talked together within spitting distance, shook hands, and even embraced.

The Post Millennial reports:“Pelosi could be seen schmoozing it up with other Democrat lawmakers, when only two days before she had been issuing orders for GOP legislators to mask up.“Earlier on Thursday, Pelosi had issued fines to six GOP lawmakers for not masking on the House floor. South Carolina’s Rep. Ralph Norman was one of those congressmen. So was Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Pelosi’s rules demand compliance from representatives, only allowing them to show their full faces when they are speaking during debate, the New York Post reports. The breaking of those rules results in fines of $500 for first time rule-breakers, and $2,500 if they go for round two.

“Pelosi’s House Sergeant-at-Arms sent a letter to representatives after their Tuesday behavior, telling them to mask up or they would be forced to pay up. Two reps chucked the letters, and suffered fines. Six members of the House GOP refused to mask while voting on bills on Tuesday.

“Members Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Kentucky’s Thomas Massie, Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene, Texas’ Chip Roy of Texas, Virginia’s Bob Good, Texas’ Louie Gohmert and Illinois’ Mary Miller all received letters. Fines were issued to Florida’s Brian Mast, Iowa’s Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and Texas’ Beth Van Duyne.Massie and Greene were both publicly defiant, showing what they thought of the letter by dumping it in a waste bin and posting the picture on Twitter.

— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) May 19, 2021

Greene shared video of her defiance, saying “You can’t discriminate against people simply because they won’t wear a mask, and today, I refused to wear a mask on the House floor and I received a warning from Speaker Pelosi that leads to fines if I continue to refuse to wear a mask. Well, here’s what I think of your warning, Speaker Pelosi,” and then she ran the pages through a shedder.

This is what I think of Speaker Pelosi’s letter. #FreeYourFace pic.twitter.com/9uujzmtCCP

— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) May 19, 2021

According to the Post Millennial, the Speaker wants everyone in the House to get vaccinated before she’ll lift the requirement. About 75 percent of representatives are vaccinated.

But the GOP has said that they are following CDC masking guidance, which says that vaccinated folks don’t need to mask, inside or out. Pelosi’s rule is only for the House chamber, too, and in the rest of the Capitol people can roam mask-free.

“We have a responsibility to make sure the House of Representatives’ chamber is not a petri dish,” Pelosi said. “Until they are vaccinated, we cannot have meetings without masks.”

How the UN Stole Jewish Homes in Occupied Jerusalem and Set Off the Latest Conflict

After_Evacuation

by Daniel Greenfield: In 1948, the armies of seven Arab nations invaded Israel. They failed to wipe out the newly reborn nation, but Jordan occupied part of Jerusalem and ethnically cleansed its Jews.

Among the former Jewish neighborhoods was a small area named Shimon HaTzadik or Simon the Righteous after a high priest who became famous for talking Alexander the Great out of putting up an idol in the Temple. The Arab Muslim colonists who had occupied the area however called it Sheikh Jarrah after an associate of the Iraqi invader Saladin.

Saladin had invaded Israel some 1500 years after Shimon HaTzadik’s death. His associate settled in Jerusalem and died there. A mosque was built over the house of the invader, Jarrah, which later gave its name to the neighborhood when the Husseini family set up shop there in the 19th century. Hitler’s Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, grew up in the first house in the neighborhood.

Seven years after he got a pledge from Hitler to invade and kill all the Jews, the Islamic leader tried to finish the job with the Army of the Sacred Jihad backed by thousands of Muslim Brotherhood Jihadis. Aside from blowing up the newspaper that would later be known as the Jerusalem Post, the Jihadis performed poorly in battle and fell apart when their commander, another Husseini, was killed trying to cut off Israeli supply convoys to the siege of Jerusalem.

The Jordanians desecrated the synagogues of East Jerusalem, used Jewish tombstones to pave roads, and seized Jewish property through their Custodian of Enemy Property.

In 1956, UNRWA worked with the Jordanian occupiers to settle “Palestinian refugees” in this Jewish neighborhood. The UN agency had been entirely dedicated to caring for the Arab Muslim settlers who had failed in their invasion of Israel and was settling them in violation of international law in the homes of the Jewish residents who had fled the illegal occupation.

Once the UNRWA had “resettled” its “refugees” in homes stolen from their Jewish owners through ethnic cleansing, it deemed them to no longer be refugees. The actual refugees however were the Jewish residents who had their homes stolen by the UNRWA.

The only thing more disturbing than a UN agency collaborating in ethnic cleansing was that after Israel liberated and unified Jerusalem, the illegal Arab Muslim occupiers of the homes not only refused to leave, but their right to remain in homes stolen from their Jewish inhabitants was taken up by the UN and the international community. Not to mention a lot of lawyers.

It took the original Jewish owners five years to even win legal rights to the homes in court. But they didn't actually get the property back. In an attempt to avoid just the kind of international incident going on now, the Israeli authorities brokered a deal in which the Muslim squatters would pay rent and accept the legal rights of the Jewish owners of the trusts.

The rent on the homes was a fraction of what they would go for on the open market. But even that money was never actually paid. The next three decades were spent trying to evict the illegal Muslim settlers who wouldn't pay rent or leave.

The recent court decision on evictions, which was used by Hamas and the PLO as a pretext for the war that they had been planning on starting anyway, is the latest in a string of legal decisions over these homes going back 50 years.

These decisions came from independent courts, not the Netanyahu government, in a legal battle that began when he was a college student studying at MIT. There isn’t a single argument for why the Jewish trusts that owned the homes should have lost the right to them when Jordan invaded and seized those homes, or why the UNRWA’s decision to illegally collaborate in ethnic cleansing by settling members of an occupying nation in those homes was legal.

All their arguments come down to shouting, “apartheid” and “ethnic cleansing” when the only time there was apartheid and ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem was under Arab Muslim occupation.

Every anti-Israel radical in public office from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and the rest of the gang have denounced evictions from ‘Sheikh Jarrah’.

"We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem. Israeli forces are forcing families from their homes," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tweeted.

"The evictions of Palestinian families must not go forward,” Bernie Sanders ranted.

“The Administration should make clear to the Israeli government that these evictions are illegal and must stop immediately,” Senator Elizabeth Warren declared. Despite being a lawyer, she declined to identify how the Israeli court ruling was "illegal".

The Biden administration also got into the act.

“We are deeply concerned about the potential eviction of Palestinian families in the Silwan neighborhood and in Sheikh Jarrah, many of whom have lived in their homes for generations," State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter, a former cheerleader who had falsely accused America of genocide, claimed.

The only way to argue that the homes were “theirs” is by recognizing the legitimacy of occupation and ethnic cleansing, at least when it’s practiced by Muslim invading armies.

The moral principle for which AOC, Sanders, Warren, and the State Department are fighting is that when Arab Muslims drive out the Jews and seize their homes, it’s their property now.

The entire legal basis for the court case by the squatters is their claim that the property had been given to them by Jordan’s Custodian of Enemy Property office. This claim has standing in Israeli courts which chose to wrongly recognize those seizures. And so the court cases have revolved around whether the squatters could ever prove that an illegal occupying power had transferred title to them during its ethnic cleansing campaign. The squatters couldn’t even meet this low bar because they were never given title to the homes, but the vicissitudes of local real estate law aside, there’s still the invasion, the illegal occupation and the ethnic cleansing.

When AOC, Warren, Sanders, Tlaib, Omar, the UN, and the Biden administration treat the occupiers of Sheikh Jarrah as the rightful owners, they’re defending ethnic cleansing.

And it should be called what it is.

The fundamental issue at stake in Shimon HaTzadik and Sheikh Jarrah are crystal clear. Unlike some parts of Israel where territory changed hands in more complex ways, we know exactly what happened and why it happened. And those simple facts tell a story of the UNRWA’s complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Jews, not just today when it serves as a storehouse for Hamas missiles and an employment agency for Hamas propagandists, but back in the 50s.

Jews were ethnically cleansed from Jerusalem after an invasion and occupation. The United Nations, through UNRWA, violated international law by taking part in population transfer by an occupying power which had expelled the indigenous population. This is the charge that the UN and the anti-Israel politicians and media have repeatedly lobbed at Israel.

And they’re the ones guilty of it.

Their Sheikh Jarrah argument is that ethnic cleansing and occupation are moral and legal when Arab Muslim armies do it. It’s that Arab Muslim squatters who moved into Jewish homes in 1956 had gained an immutable moral right to live in them by 1967 that outweighed those of the Jewish trusts which had owned them since the 19th century.

There’s no better way to show the hypocritical double standards of an anti-Israel movement that cries about occupation, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid while practicing those very things.

AOC, Sanders, Warren, the UN, the Quarter, the EU, and the Biden administration are demanding that the Arab Muslim occupation of Jerusalem continue. They are ordering a free country to overturn the legal ruling of a court in case that goes back to the 1970s because they believe that Arab Muslim occupiers have a right to live in Jerusalem… and Jews don’t.

That’s what this was about in 1948. That’s still what it’s about in 2021.

The occupiers cry about the “occupation” and the ethnic cleansers cry about “ethnic cleansing” as they fight to bring back the state of apartheid that drove the Jews out of Jerusalem.
