An overlooked study published recently by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that cloth face coverings or masks are mostly ineffective in preventing the spread of the Chinese coronavirus as promoted by public health officials. The CDC conducted the study, largely ignored by the media, in the U.S. in July and made its findings public in September. It compared 154 “case-patients,” those who tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease), and a control group of 160 “control-participants,” those who were symptomatic but tested negative.
...Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, tweeted the video that claims to show the teacher, Patrick Casey, on a Zoom conference call saying, “White men…white men miss the old day when they can just be a white dude and walk down and grab women by their genitals and nobody said anything. Right? But you can’t do that now..So that’s why there’s all these people, ‘Make America Great Again.’ What they mean is make it kind of racist and sexist again. That’s what they’re talking about.”
The video identified Casey as an English teacher at Oxnard Union High School.
The class he was teaching was Freshman Honors English and the video was recorded last month, the report said....
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a full blown melt down on CNN after anchor Wolf Blitzer pressured her on securing a deal for coronavirus relief for the American people.
...everybody was all stunned to learn that “sexual preference” had suddenly turned into homophobic hate speech because Amy Coney Barrett used it (even though we’ve got clips of democrats and gay rights orgs and publications using it up until now without issue) but within hours of that straw grasping bullshit getting tossed out by the dumbest senator in America, many of my liberal acquaintances were gas lighting everyone that the term had always been hateful AND THEY EVEN HURRIED AND EDITED THE DICTIONARY.
...anyways, Joe Biden potentially doing sleazy shit isn’t the point of this post. ...the really Orwellian thing was what came next, when the big soulless social media megacorps tried to squash the story in the most ham fisted way imaginable. They didn’t just squash the story.
They squashed the story and then bragged about it in public.
They declared the story to be “harmful” (as in harmful to the election prospects of their chosen candidate). ...Supposedly they can’t allow the sharing of a story that makes Biden look bad because the information was “leaked”… except they were gleefully sharing Trump’s leaked tax info last week, and before that Russia Collusion nonsense wasn’t so much a leak as a high pressure lawn sprinkler.
Newly obtained emails from a Hunter Biden business partner lay out in detail how the Vice President’s son and his colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in the White House. These never-before-revealed emails outline how a delegation of Chinese investors and Communist Party officials managed to secure a private, off-the-books meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Facebook has reduced the distribution of a New York Post story containing bombshell information indicating that — contrary to his previous denials — Joe Biden allegedly did meet with an adviser to the board of Burisma while he was vice president, arranged by his son Hunter, who was then working as a lobbyist for the company. Twitter followed suit soon after, labeling links to the story “unsafe.”
Police raid homes of French officials in coronavirus probe | Reuters PARIS (Reuters) - Police raided the homes and offices of France’s health minister, its public health director and former prime minister on Thursday as a judicial investigation into the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis deepened. ...The probe was launched in July by France’s Court of Justice, established in 1993 to handle cases of alleged ministerial misconduct in the wake of the country’s contaminated blood scandal of the 1980s and 1990s. The court received some 90 complaints lodged by doctors, nursing homes and local authorities over the government’s handling of the pandemic. The complaints included accusations of involuntary homicide and endangering life.
All but nine were dismissed by the prosecutor. The remainder were wrapped into a single probe which aims to establish whether those in charge at the outset of the outbreak showed a “lack of will to fight a disaster”. ...Francois Mitterrand established the Court of Justice in the wake of scandal which saw haemophiliacs receive blood transfusions infected with HIV. Former prime minister Laurent Fabius and two of his ministers faced manslaughter charges after the government allegedly delayed its response, waiting for a French test to be authorised, even through a foreign company had one available.
Fabius and his social affairs minister were acquitted.
His health minister was found guilty but received no sentence. In total the court has handled some ten cases.
It has never handed out a prison sentence...Read all.
'Spontaneous' Street Violence Is Well Organized, Pursuing Radical Agenda "Add up everything we know about the ongoing violence in America’s cities, and you get a troubling picture.
It has nothing to do with law-abiding, peaceful demonstrations in favor of civil rights and police reform.

Following The New York Times’ attempts to prove President Donald Trump paid little to no taxes, the paper had to admit that the president doesn’t owe money to Russia.
In an amazing development Thursday morning, Twitter restricted user access to an official government website in order to censor a bombshell report on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
New York Post business reporter Noah Manskar says that the Post's primary Twitter account has been locked after publication of a bombshell report on Hunter Biden.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will investigate newly released emails that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, to an executive at Ukrainian gas firm Burisma. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), the chairman of the committee, told Fox News that the committee had contacted the source who provided the emails. The New York Post revealed that Hunter Biden introduced a Burisma executive to Joe Biden less than a year before he lobbied Ukrainian government officials to fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company.

Mackey said that the world is getting fat but that Americans are leading the way.
He also said that the U.S. has had "more of a problem" with COVID-19 due to obesity-related comorbidities like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Mackey has come under fire for saying that obesity is not an access problem, and instead said that ignorance and poor choices are to blame for obesity. ..."I don't think there's an access problem. I think there's a market demand problem. People have got to become wiser about their food choices..."...Read all.
"There is no relationship whatsoever between the number of reported deaths on a specific date and the number of actual deaths on that date. The number of actual deaths has been steadily declining since early August. Nothing alarming is going on in Florida.
Fox News ticker says no conclusive proof that surviving COVID makes you immune. Wouldn't that also apply to a vaccine? If we require conclusive proof of immunity, everyone will be assumed to be contagious forever. We're going to have to take back our lives."
