Rand Paul: Fauci Should Be 'Removed from TV' for 'Fear-Mongering':
During a Tuesday appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called for White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci to be removed from his television appearances for “fear-mongering.” This comes a day after he referred to Fauci as a “petty” tyrant.
According to Paul, Fauci is spouting information that “isn’t even matched by the science of his own institute,” the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Yes, it's the Bee...or is it?-----SAT To Be Replaced With DNA Test To Determine How Oppressed You Are | The Babylon Bee
SAT To Be Replaced With DNA Test To Determine How Oppressed You Are | The Babylon Bee
NEW YORK, NY—The College Board has discontinued the SAT, replacing the long-standing college admissions exam with a DNA test that traces your ancestral history and determines how oppressed you are.
The new method of college admissions will just figure out how oppressed or privileged you are and assign you an oppression score based on your racial background.
Those with lots of marginalized ancestors will receive a high score, while those with evil, privileged ancestors will receive a low score.
Prestigious schools such as Ivy League institutions will only consider applicants with an Oppression Score of 1500 or higher.
Asian students start the test off with an automatic 500-point deduction, while white students are asked to leave the testing site immediately...Read all!

Project Veritas: CNN Director Admits 'Our Focus Was to Get Trump Out':
CNN invited “medical people” to undermine public confidence in Trump’s health via innuendo and speculation, Chester admitted.
He said, “[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He’s unfit to, you know, whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what, I think that’s propaganda.”
Sensing Online: Vaccine passports are white supremacist
Sensing Online: Vaccine passports are white supremacist
- Vaccine passports are white supremacist
"The Biden administration has proposed Covid-19 "vaccine passports," according to multiple news reports.
"The Biden administration is working on creating a set of standards for people to prove they've been vaccinated against Covid-19, according to an administration official...Multiple government agencies are engaged in conversations and planning, coordinated by the White House, as this kind of system will play a role in multiple aspects of life, including potentially the workforce, another senior administration official told CNN. "
Implementing vaccine passports would be a white supremacist measure.
This does not require a long explanation, so let's get straight to the point: poor people are much less likely to be vaccinated than higher-income persons, such as in these states:
...Any gap in vaccinating rich versus poor inevitably exacerbates racial divides.
Black and Latino people are far more likely to live in poverty than white people, and despite having died at higher rates throughout the pandemic, they are receiving fewer vaccines than white people.
According to Black Lives Matter and other civil-rights groups, it does not matter that this gap in immunization is not intended...Read all.

“I would like to just say how extremely emotional I am by anyone who’s been affected by me,” he said.

Biden Admin Puts Use Of Johnson & Johnson Vaccine On Pause As Six Of 7 Million Develop Blood Clots | The Daily Caller:
The Biden administration put a cautionary pause on the use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine Tuesday after a handful of recipients developed “rare and severe” blood clots.

The DOJ is Lying about the Ashley Babbitt case - The Reactionary
"Today, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia issued a press release explaining their decision to not prosecute the officer who shot and killed unarmed protester (and veteran) Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021.
...They explain:
“As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out. An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor.”
You’ll notice there’s no mention of a verbal warning to Ms. Babbitt or other efforts to subdue her without the use of deadly force.
Continuing on, the DOJ maintains that the “focus of the criminal investigation was to determine whether federal prosecutors could prove that the officer violated any federal laws, concentrating on the possible application of 18 U.S.C. § 242, a federal criminal civil rights statute.”...Read all.

Physical inactivity linked to more severe COVID-19 infection and death
Physical inactivity linked to more severe COVID-19 infection and death
"Physical inactivity is linked to more severe COVID-19 infection and a heightened risk of dying from the disease, finds a large US study published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Patients with COVID-19 who were consistently inactive during the 2 years preceding the pandemic were more likely to be admitted to hospital, to require intensive care, and to die than were patients who had consistently met physical activity guidelines, the findings show.
As a risk factor for severe disease, physical inactivity was surpassed only by advanced age and a history of organ transplant.
Several risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection have been identified, including advanced age, male sex, and certain underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease...Read all.
Everyone Spreading Lies About Georgia Voting Law Should Be Ashamed
Everyone Spreading Lies About Georgia Voting Law Should Be Ashamed:
Mark Twain observed that “a lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.” Today, powerful voices seem determined to prove him right.
In recent days, prominent members of the media, government, and big business have spread a wildfire of misinformation about a newly passed voting law in Georgia. Critics have panned the law as “Jim Crow 2.0” and “voter suppression.” President Joe Biden has denounced it as “un-American.”
Corporate executives have piled on as well.
