Nolte: Biden Congressional Address Was an Anti-Vaccine Infomercial
Nolte: Biden Congressional Address Was an Anti-Vaccine Infomercial:
What struck me most about His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s Wednesday night address to congress was how it seemed as though the entire federal government had gathered to stage a nationally-televised piece of performance art with one blaring message: The coronavirus vaccine does not work! Do not get vaccinated! Look at us! LOOK AT US, we’re vaccinated and nothing’s changed!!!
Everyone from His Fraudulency to Her Vice Fraudulency to the Speaker of the House; absolutely everyone in that congressional chamber has been vaccinated, and yet, through their own actions they screamed out their belief that the vaccine is, at best, worthless.
Twilight in Paris - The American Mind
Twilight in Paris - The American Mind
The letter bears close attention on several grounds.
- Twenty French generals implore the government to take a firm hand against chaos.
"In France this week, 20 retired military generals, 80 officers, and 1,000 lower-ranking soldiers signed an open letter expressing concern over “mortal dangers” they say face the Republic.
President Macron’s government has instructed the army chief of staff to discipline the signatories for inciting insurrection.
- Although the signatories warn they wish to act only after the outbreak of civil conflict, Macron’s response shows the government understands the situation has already deteriorated to a point where a true coup or uprising—an event quite unlike the shambolic ordeal in Washington on January 6th—might erupt at the slightest provocation.
- This fearsome possibility is made all the more apparent by Harris Interactive polling that shows 58% of the French people support the letters’ signatories.
- Despite strenuous elite attempts to delegitimize even thinking such thoughts, 84% of those polled can see that violence in the country is increasing daily.
- A full 73% agree France is in decline...Read all!

Death due to COVID-19 parties could lead to manslaughter charges, experts warn | Globalnews.ca
- People who break health rules by holding parties that lead to death from COVID-19 should heed the warning from a British Columbia judge about facing a manslaughter charge, legal experts say.
- Provincial court Judge Ellen Gordon chastised Mohammad Movassaghi this week as she sentenced him to one day in jail, a $5,000 fine and 18 months’ probation. ...The court heard he held a party for 78 people in a penthouse condominium that was about 165 square metres in size that police described as a makeshift nightclub.
- Gordon called the event “a crime, not a party,” adding that it was something attended by people “foolish enough” to put their own and their grandmothers’ health at risk.
- “If someone who had been at your party was infected and died, as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty of manslaughter,” she said. “If someone who had been at your party was infected and passed it on to grandma, as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty of manslaughter.”...Read all.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Teacher fired after refusing to 'indoctrinate' students records principal's STUNNING admission - TheBlaze:
Paul detailed the fallout from questioning the "antiracist" education lessons that his school was forcing him to teach, why he decided to go public, and how Bari Weiss helped him. He also described how George Davison, the head of the school, admitted he thinks the school's curriculum is "demonizing" white students "for being born" and making white kids "feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for." Davison denied these claims, saying Rossi "misquoted" him, but an audio recording of the conversation tells a different story.
Internal Records: DHS Knew 'Sanctuary' Orders Would Free Criminal Aliens
Internal Records: DHS Knew 'Sanctuary' Orders Would Free Criminal Aliens:

2020 was the deadliest year for law enforcement officers in decades - CNN
2020 was the deadliest year for law enforcement officers in decades - CNN
"A report released Monday by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) found that 264 federal, state, military, tribal and local law enforcement officers to date died in the line of duty last year -- the highest since 1974.
The reason that number is so high: Covid-19.
Law enforcement officers died last year of numerous causes, among them vehicle crashes, heart attacks and gun shots.

This is why we loath the lying, liberal media.

A Record 34% Of All Household Income In The US Now Comes From The Government
InsanityWrap--A Record 34% Of All Household Income In The US Now Comes From The Government
A Record 34% Of All Household Income In The US Now Comes From The Government
The next time one of your progressive friends starts prattling on about sustainability, show them this:
We are referring, of course, to Personal Current Transfer payments which are essentially government sourced income such as unemployment benefits, welfare checks, and so on. In March, this number exploded to a mindblowing $8.1 trillion annualized, which was not only double the $4.1 trillion from February, but was also $5 trillion above the pre-Covid trend where transfer receipts were approximately $3.2 trillion.
We’ve been spending our way into oblivion for a long time — Wuhan Flu and Presidentish Biden are just speeding things up.
Really, we care very deeply about the coming fiscal panic/crash/worse… but if Washington doesn’t, why should we?"
