Joe Biden Claims Americans 'Yield' Rights to Government - Louder With Crowder

Joe Biden Claims Americans 'Yield' Rights to Government - Louder With Crowder: Joe Biden met with Putin on Wednesday. If I were a betting man, I'd say it was two hours of the Russian president saying "amoronsayswhat" and Biden blaming the smell coming out of his underpants on Anthony Blinken. The most popular American president lashed out at the press afterward. Where we found out he gave Putin a list of sixteen things he's not allowed to attack. Anything not on the list is apparently fair game. Then, of course, you have the president of the United States of America exposing to the world his ignorance of what it means to be American.

VIDEO: Australian news org mocks CNN, left-wing networks for 'gushing' over Joe Biden at G7 Summit - TheBlaze: 

In stark contrast to the way they covered former President Donald Trump's international trips, those same outlets fawned over Biden even as he stumbled through speeches and confused Syria with Libya — a whopping three times.

But the obvious bias toward Biden didn't go unnoticed.

In a segment that aired Sunday, Sky News Australia mocked left-aligning American media outlets like CNN for "gushing" over their "beloved" new president, calling it "quite appalling to watch."

Australia in ‘a terrible lot of trouble’ with $90b ‘con-job’ submarine p...

"The Australian’s Robert Gottliebsen says Australia is “in a terrible lot of trouble” with the $90 billion “con-job” submarine program.

“The French sent out here a whole series of negotiators – led by a very skilled female negotiator – and they sold us a deal that would have the ships here earlier, it would have Australian content,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“But as soon as we signed it, as soon as we said yes, they said ‘oh that’s not the deal at all, we’ve got a totally different deal for you, we’re going to do the lot and it’s going to cost you a lot more money’.

“It’s not going to cost $90 billion, it’s going to cost $120-150 billion … it is a nonsense and it has to stop.”

A Group Of Parents Sent Their Kids' Face Masks to A Lab for Analysis. Here's What They Found by Scott Morefield
"We've been told for well over a year that widespread forced public masking should be implemented because, even if only moderately to slightly to negligibly effective at curbing the spread of COVID-19, there are ZERO drawbacks.
"What's the harm?" they ask.
"It's only a minor inconvenience," they bleat.
"If it saves ONE LIFE, it's worth it!" they implore.

...Well, one group of Florida parents sent a batch of masks worn by their children to a lab to find out. And yeah, you'll probably need to make sure you aren't eating dinner anytime soon before you digest THESE results.

Via press release:

Gainesville, FL (June 16, 2021) – A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.

The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:

• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia) 

• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis) 

• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis) 

• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis) 

• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics) 

• Escherichia coli (food poisoning)

• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)

• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)

• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires' disease) 

• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates) 

• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria...Read all!

RAY: While Rome Burned, Harris Giggled | The Daily Caller: 

Let’s be crystal clear about this: This entire trip was an attempt to assign blame to specific countries in Central America – notably Guatemala – and Mexico for the sudden explosion in illegal aliens crossing the border. The Biden administration is trying to sell the narrative that this crisis is due to the “push factors” in those countries – like political corruption, poverty, climate change and gang violence – that have forced thousands to flee.

NAC Being Studied for Use Against Covid-19, So Of Course Amazon Just Banned It

• It's been on the market for 57 years without an issue. But suddenly the FDA is making threats and Amazon pulled it from their virtual shelves.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is suddenly cracking down on N-acetylcysteine (NAC), claiming it is excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement. As a result, Amazon has removed all listings featuring NAC-containing supplements..
• NAC supplements have been sold for 57 years, and the FDA has never taken action against it — until now, when 16 clinical trials are investigating its usefulness against COVID-19
• NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. There’s evidence glutathione deficiency may worsen COVID-19 severity...Read all.

CRT Can KMA by Kurt Schlichter

CRT Can KMA by Kurt Schlichter

"...Everyone hates CRT, critical race theory, that bizarre, ridiculous, and morally illiterate hodge-podge of Marxist mumbo-jumbo blended with a healthy dose of the kind of racial hash that would make Democrat David Duke beam. 

...The guys in the campaign business I talk to are giddy and often burst into spontaneous jigs of pure glee at the poll numbers they are seeing. 

Hey Congress, congratulations! 

Thanks to CRT, there’s something America hates even more than you!

Normal America is fighting back – on social media, at school board meetings, in the states, and even in Congress. 

People are sick of this crap, and its purveyors are baffled.

They thought enlisting in the cultural lynch mob was going to get them nothing but kudos and it’s not working out that way...Read all.

Joe Biden Offers Confused Silence to Putin Question - Louder With Crowder

Joe Biden Offers Confused Silence to Putin Question - Louder With Crowder: 

Jen Psaki, come get your man. When the Chucky look-a-like recently said they try to keep the president from the press, I foolishly assumed just like every other press shop has done in the past. With Joe Biden, there is a unique reason why. The most popular president ever is fundamentally unable to answer questions. And that's with the questions (allegedly) being pre-screened. His answer to the question about the hashtag Putin Body Count is further evidence. Most people are focused on the laughing. For me, Biden's silence was louder.

Incredibly, that's exactly what really happened!

 

"Has there been a single major story the progs have pushed since Trump was elected that has not turned out to be false?"

Clarice Feldman
"The great Iggy:

• Think about this; has there been a single major story the progs have pushed since Trump was elected that has not turned out to be false? 

Not just possibly false, but demonstrably false to anyone except a starry eyed prog True Believer?
It is well on its way with the Wuflu hokum. 

And now we're starting to see the Federal Bureau of Insurrection story begin to turn.

If these audits turn up significant fraud and irregularities it will as well.
That kind of record doesn't matter much once you've consolidated power and part of exercising that power is making the peasants eat your chit.
But they have not consolidated power.

Not even close. 

Premature prevarication is not satisfying to the one getting schtupped and can lead to unpleasant breakups if it persists."

It begins with only one man or one woman!

 

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ANTI-SCIENCE?

"Warnings about processed meat fail the test of science.

A new re-analysis of the science concerning links between processed meat and chronic disease indicates that studies showing a relationship between the two are very low quality and suffer from, as the authors put it, “serious risk of bias and imprecision.”

This conclusion is unsurprising, as it follows a recent set of analyses that rocked the nutrition world. That earlier set of studies, published in Annals of Internal Medicine earlier this month, concluded that guidelines warning us to consume less red and processed meat are based on evidence with very low certainty...Read all!

EU Signals New Mandatory ESG Due Diligence for Companies Operating in EU | Shearman & Sterling
"On March 10, 2021, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for mandatory human rights, environmental and governance due diligence standards across the value chain for companies operating in the EU internal market ...
If adopted, all EU Member States will be required to implement the Directive into their national laws. This will result in substantive due diligence requirements being imposed on companies, whether based in the EU or selling their products and services into the EU, across their entire value chain, with potential sanctions for non-compliance.
...The proposed due diligence framework targets three categories of “potential and/or actual adverse impacts,” namely, those on:

• human rights, as embodied in international human rights treaties, including social, worker and trade union rights;
  
• the environment, by reference to internationally recognized and EU environmental standards, including the right to a safe, clean, healthy, sustainable and biodiverse environment. The Resolution refers specifically to climate change, and stresses that corporate due diligence laws must be in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement; and
• good governance, including compliance with anti-corruption, bribery and money laundering laws...Read all.
