Marilyn Mosby indicted for lying to get Covid cash, buying Florida vacation homes, despite $247k salary--American Wire News
"A far-left Maryland prosecutor infamous for going soft on crime and trying to railroad the police officers involved in the death of criminal suspect Freddie Gray has found herself on the other side of the law.
On Tuesday, Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors indicted Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby on charges of perjury and making false statements as per a series of unethical financial crimes she’d committed.

...DOJ, which points out that she “received her full gross salary of $247,955.58 from January 1, 2020 through December 29, 2020, in bi-weekly gross pay direct deposits of $9,183.54.”

CNN ratings collapse by massive 90% in first week of 2022 - TheBlaze: 

Worse still for CNN was the network's ratings among prime-time viewers, where it lost 89% in a key demographic year over year. Among viewers ages 18 to 49 years old, CNN lost 91% year over year. CNN has faced brutal criticism over its support of anchor Chris Cuomo, brother of disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Flashback May 2020 Assault On The White House: 60 Secret Service Agents Wounded, President Trump Taken to Secure Bunker

• Let’s put this crazy J6 “insurrection” lunacy into perspective.

"The Democrats’ January 6 clown show was worse than even I expected. 

Their hysterical, pearl-clutching, lie-filled response to the events on January 6th, what Democrats are clearly hoping will be their transformative Reichstag moment, is unseemly, phony to its core, and purely and solely political.
We know this because there was no outrage over the leftist rioters who attempted to stop the peaceful transition of power during President Trump’s inauguration. 

Not only did anti-Trump leftists riot, attack and injure police, set cars and buildings on fire, but they were later rewarded for this attempt to “subvert Democracy” to the tune of $1.6 million in taxpayer money...Read all.

Why has this been buried by the media??-----Fentanyl overdoses killing more 18 to 45 year olds than COVID

Fentanyl overdoses killing more 18 to 45 year olds than COVID

• 
  The potent narcotic is now the No. 1 cause of death among Americans 18-45.

Fentanyl overdoses have become the leading cause of death for adults ages 18 to 45, according to recent U.S. government data. 

The potent narcotic killed more Americans in 2020 than car accidents, gun violence, suicide, and COVID-19, according to the opioid awareness organization Families Against Fentanyl, which analyzed the CDC statistics.
Families Against Fentanyl found that between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people between 18 and 45 years old died of fentanyl overdoses. 

The frightening numbers also show that reported deaths due to the drug doubled from 32,754 fatalities to 64,178 fatalities in between April 2019 and April 2021...Read all!

What else are they lying about??-----Biden, Pelosi Include April Murder of Capitol Police Officer by a Black Nationalist in Fictional Capitol Riot ‘Death Toll’

Biden, Pelosi Include April Murder of Capitol Police Officer by a Black Nationalist in Fictional Capitol Riot ‘Death Toll’

• Democrats and the media need for the Capitol riot to look worse than it actually was because of narratives and whatnot.

One of the most persistently infuriating things about the media’s coverage and the left’s commentary about the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot is their repeated references to how “numerous people died” during the attack.
For instance, there was this October 24, 2021 tweet from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who falsely claimed there were “almost 10 dead” from the “terrorist attack”

• In reality, there was only one death that day related to the actual violence: 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and Trump supporter who was killed by Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd as she tried to climb through a glass-paneled door after parts of it had been shattered by an alleged rioter identified as Zachary Jordan Alam.
• The three other deaths that day were Trump supporters Kevin Greeson, 55, and Benjamin Phillips, 50, who per the D.C. medical examiner died from natural causes (heart attacks). Roseanne Boyland, 34, died from a drug overdose. 
• Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the next day, and per the medical examiner, Sicknick “suffered two strokes and died of natural causes.”...Read all!

"I do know Dr. Fauci’s been all over the map about it. He’s said yes masks, no masks, he’s said, ‘Oh, I lied to the American people because they couldn’t handle it.' You know, at some point, the American people ought to be able to exercise their own freedom and make their decision," Cruz continued. "If you want to wear a mask, God bless you; you can wear a mask for the rest of your life — that's your choice."

When democrat clerks control the top 10 largest jurisdictions in most every state and all democrat!-----How a Mark Zuckerberg-Funded Nonprofit Turned Wisconsin Blue

How a Mark Zuckerberg-Funded Nonprofit Turned Wisconsin Blue

• One of the biggest effects of the Center for Technology and Civic Life’s intervention in Wisconsin was to make its most populous counties significantly more Democratic than they had been in 2016.
  

"Now that Mark Zuckerberg-backed Center for Technology and Civic Life has released its federal tax forms detailing where its $350 million in election funding was spent, we would expect to see the usual claims of “nonpartisanship” and “money for safe elections in the midst of COVID-19” narrative being amplified by CTCL apologists.
...In addition, Ben Labolt, a spokesman for Zuckerberg and Chan, told Yahoo News that “nearly 2,500 election jurisdictions from 49 states applied for and received funds, including urban, suburban, rural, and exurban counties . . . and more Republican than Democratic jurisdictions applied for and received the funds.”
Claims such as these have been repeated ad nauseam, but they are absurd and deliberately misleading. 

It is like a wealthy man claiming that all of his 10 children were treated fairly in his will because they each received an inheritance from his $70 million fortune, when—upon closer inspection—it turns out that nine of his children received $5,000 each in Google Play cards, while one favored child received $69,955,000 in cash and securities...Read all!!

A Neuroscientist Explains Why So Many Children Can’t Read

• By now we’ve probably all heard the statistics. Just a little over 1 in 3 American 4th graders are able to read proficiently.

"Unfortunately, that statistic doesn’t get better as time goes by. Consider the following statistics:

• 14% of adults can’t read.
• Only 13% of adults can read at a proficient level.
• 28% of adults didn’t read a book in the last year.
• 50% of adults can’t read a book written at an 8th grade level.

So how did we get to this point?

...In his new book, Language at the Speed of Sight: How We Read, Why So Many Can’t, and What Can Be Done About It, Professor Seidenberg explains how his work in psychology and neuroscience has led him to believe that giving children the tools to read (through the medium of phonics) is so essential...Read all!

Columnist taken to woodshed for 'heartless' idea to mock people who die from COVID after not getting vaccine - TheBlaze: 

However, being vaccinated will not prevent you from transmitting the virus, thus harming "innocent people." After all, breakthrough cases happen every day, fully vaccinated people are still dying of COVID (although the majority have several co-morbidities), and the CDC even says that fully vaccinated people still transmit the virus.

"Readers are invited to spot the word that’s doing the heavy lifting. It appears 1o times in the article quoted above, excluding variations.

The red-light and speed cameras are, we’re told, “distributed roughly evenly among the city’s black, Latino and white neighbourhoods.” Despite which, “the ticketing rate for households in majority-Black ZIP codes” is “more than three times that of households in majority-white areas.” And so, explanations are searched out, including the width of a given road, the effect of passing vacant lots, and the geographical distribution of grocery stores...
