Fauci was apparently warned to save '$$' to tackle vaccine fallout: 'Will come back to bite you' | Blaze Media:
Anthony Fauci and other health officials who told Americans the COVID-19 vaccines were "safe and effective" had suspicions to the contrary, a new document drop from Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Rand Paul (Ky.) appears to show.
A newly released email from May 2021 seemingly reveals that the head of the Food and Drug Administration was so concerned about the novel mRNA vaccines that she advised Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins to create a contingency fund to deal with the fallout from them.
Must read!-----What If Communism Really Does Work?
In fact, the Democratic Socialists of America – essentially the borderless movement of global communism – have been making inroads in the Democratic Party for generations, but only recently have they felt comfortable dropping the mask, and saying, point blank, that they are indeed proud marxists. - John F. Di Leo
- Yes. Of course, communism works.
People wouldn’t keep pushing for its implementation if it didn’t work.
- People wouldn’t keep it going – for decade after decade of utter misery, in Cuba and Venezuela and China and North Korea and more – if it didn’t work for somebody.

And Canada's COMMUNISTS love Communist China!-----Beijing’s Voyage Through Frozen Waters Could Change Shipping Forever
China is preparing to establish a regular commercial shipping route through the Arctic, potentially giving Beijing a dramatically shorter path to Europe while reducing its dependence on some of the world’s most volatile maritime chokepoints. - Francis Kapper
- The company’s China-Europe Arctic Express plans to use seven ships across eight sailings, according to a Sea Legend schedule published by China-based maritime outlet Xinde Marine News in July...
- The route would send Chinese cargo north through the Bering Strait and across waters along Russia’s vast Arctic coast before vessels enter European waters, bypassing the traditional journey through Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal...
Here’s a point that many Canadians don’t want to admit.
For decades, Canada has benefited from privileged access to the United States. Economically, militarily, and through trade, we’ve depended on our closest ally while often pretending the relationship was an entitlement. - real.CTZN
- Now the rules are changing. President Trump is saying America will put America first, and Canada’s response has often been outrage instead of self reflection.
- Maybe it’s time to stop acting like we’re owed special treatment and start building a stronger, more self sufficient Canada.
Mark Cuban warns California billionaire tax could hurt investment | Fox News
Mark Cuban warns California billionaire tax could hurt investment | Fox News:
California voters are set to decide whether to slap a new tax on the state's billionaires as IRS data show thousands of taxpayers, and billions of dollars in income, are already flowing out of the Golden State.
The outflow is adding fuel to the debate over California's proposed billionaire tax, with Mark Cuban warning Saturday the measure could drive not only wealthy residents but investment and startups out of the state.
Cuban's warning came amid a heated back-and-forth with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who has defended the proposed tax. The billionaire investor threatened to steer future investments away from California if the measure moves forward.

Collins and Fauci and the GOP's Missed Opportunity
Collins and Fauci and the GOP's Missed Opportunity:
Sometimes history affords actors in its dramas multiple opportunities to do the right thing to achieve success or ward off disaster. Other times that opportunity comes but once, and missing it has fateful consequences. That truism comes to mind with the unfolding tale — or trial, perhaps — of Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Imagine today's "American" media in WW2!-----I’m calling out the BS being reported about the USS Abraham Lincoln.

It's a fake-parent "jobs" program with zero success in its fake "goals"-----Head Start Has Never Worked
The Trump administration should have stood its ground in its earlier effort to zero out the failed Great Society program.Heather Mac Donald
Since its inception in 1966, Head Start has spent more than $240 billion in taxpayer dollars on early education and anti-poverty services for low-income children up to the age of five.
- Now at a median annual cost of $20,000 per child in Early Head Start (for infants, toddlers, and pregnant mothers) and $15,000 per each pre-K student, it imposes detailed requirements for class size—one teacher cannot supervise more than four two-year-olds, for example—medical screenings, and in-home visits...
- A randomized controlled trial found that any early gains in school readiness among enrollees had faded by the end of first grade and were absent by third grade. The results were published by HHS in 2010 and 2012.
- Academic attempts to discredit this “fadeout” effect have failed...
Old news is fake news!-----USS Lincoln: Performance For the Ages - WSJ
On Saturday I addressed the crew, congratulated them on a magnificent job, and sent them home. - Admiral Brad Cooper
It was an amazing visit.
- I was blown away by this strong group of high-achieving Americans standing tall with justified pride in everything they have accomplished.
- I also saw the reality of more than 260 days at sea with more than 150 days in a combat zone, while speaking with sailors in spaces most guests don’t see.
Recent media reporting has portrayed varying perspectives on operational tempo, crew morale and the realities facing our deployed forces.
What I found aboard the Lincoln is that many elements of those stories are old news...
The crew is tired, but they continue to fire on all cylinders.
The crew is tired, but they continue to fire on all cylinders.
- History will record this deployment as one of the most operationally intense and consequential of the modern era...

'Not true': Watch Todd Blanche drop the mic on network news anchor pushing 'false narrative' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs:
"I swore to the Constitution of the United States like every Cabinet secretary before me has done and like every attorney general before me has done, and so this narrative that's mostly pushed by the left and pushed by the media, that the president's gonna pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is a completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen and hasn't happened."
