- Tony Blair: Digital Vaccine Libraries Now!
During a discussion about containing the next outbreak and preventing another pandemic, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair advocated for digital libraries that can store people’s vaccination status worldwide.

“In the end, you need the data: you need to know who’s been vaccinated and who hasn’t been,” he said...
Frightening read!-----The Elite Class Who Hates Life - The American Conservative

- Letter from a reader who knows the 'educated Red Guard class' driving America to the brink
I got it from, I kid you not, Walmart.com (see here!)
This is a post about the kind of people who put that sign in their yard.
A reader whom I know personally, and who knows what she's talking about, writes:"Your recent post about The Woke Tipping Point caught my eye, as it is something we've been wondering about quite a bit.
I have a lot to say on it, but to boil it down there is one thing in particular which really makes me doubt we're anywhere near it: the rising anti-natalism of the educated "Red Guard" classes.
- We recently hosted a much-loved houseguest who is part of the international NGO missionary class. But the way opinions are shared has changed. Now they handed down as edicts with a contempt and self-assurance they never were even ten years ago.
- The declaration that women everywhere must be liberated from "family values" was astounding...
...This crisis is only getting started.
The work is deeper than even being able to define a man or a woman: it is about being able to understand why human life is worthwhile.
Report: British Army Tracked, Monitored Lockdown Critics
Report: British Army Tracked, Monitored Lockdown Critics:
The British Army whistleblower told the newspaper: “It is quite obvious that our activities resulted in the monitoring of the UK population… monitoring the social media posts of ordinary, scared people. These posts did not contain information that was untrue or co-ordinated – it was simply fear.”

Whitlock: Yes, baby-mama culture explains the Tyre Nichols tragedy - TheBlaze - JASON WHITLOCK
- "...In fact, had I dishonestly blamed systemic, institutionalized racism for Nichols’ death, I would be the toast of Twitter, drowning in retweets, likes, and applause. I would be high as a kite on dopamine and swimming in interview requests.
- ...And, when surprisingly given an opportunity to provide an additional thought, I argued that the five police officers mimicked gang behavior and that the whole sad event is a byproduct of communities overrun with matriarchal values and controlled by single black mothers.
- I said that the conversation we should be having in reaction to Tyre Nichols centers on the cost of destroying the black family...
Sanctuary State CA Issues Driver's Licenses to over 1M Illegals Since 2015
Sanctuary State CA Issues Driver's Licenses to over 1M Illegals Since 2015:
The open borders lobby, with the help of elected Democrats, has made securing driver’s licenses for illegal aliens a key fixture of their agenda to eliminate privileges meant solely for American citizens and legal immigrants.
Lots here. Never trust liberal fact-check scammers. NEVER!-----Politifact is dishonest!
Politifact is dishonest
"...The first “fact check is a doozy, since their “Truth o Meter” and the content of their “analysis” contradict each other.
"...The first “fact check is a doozy, since their “Truth o Meter” and the content of their “analysis” contradict each other.
They rate a claim “false” while their explanation for coming to the conclusion shows that it is, in fact, true.
They just disagree with the implication.
The claim is manifestly true.

- The Biden Administration is making a big push for “gender-affirming care,” including surgeries, for teens and young adults.
Not only do they support the policy, they actively push it as a priority.
This is indisputable.
And, ironically, Politifact doesn’t even dispute it; they simply downplay it.

Medical Schools Bail on Academic Merit and Intellectual Rigor - WSJ
- Some refuse to be ranked by U.S. News, which weighs test scores and grades rather than diversity.
So far, U.S. News has resisted demands from the graduate schools to base the rankings on equity rather than on the grades and test scores of incoming students...
The dean of Stanford Medical School, Lloyd Minor, made a similar claim, announcing that instead of participating in the U.S. News rankings, the school would start issuing its own data “emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion.”...
George Santos: Legend
George Santos: Legend - Kurt
- Let’s make no mistake – perhaps the most important and consequential Republican of the current era is one George Santos. AKA Anthony Devolder. AKA drag queen Kitara Ravache. He is an absolute hero, and he has done more for the cause of conservatism than a thousand GOP suits parroting Cato Institute and/or Chamber of Commerce clichés...
- There’s Dick Blumenthal, the hero of the Tet Offensive. He was never near Vietnam...
- In the nearby pseudo-state of Rhode Island is Sheldon Whitehouse. He allegedly belongs to an all-white beach club. But that’s cool with his Democrat constituents...
- Let’s go across the fruited plain to California, where Eric Swalwell allegedly bared his Fang Fangs.
- Heading back, let’s stop in Minnesota to attend Ilhan Omar’s combination wedding anniversary and family reunion.
- And then back up north again to say “How” to Senate squaw Elizabeth Warren.
- Actually, for Massachusetts, reelecting a fake Indian is nothing. For decades they reelected Ted Kennedy and he killed a chick.
