Experts Demand Our Silence While They Experiment on Us, Dogs & Humans | National Review: 

Oh, and the puppy thing — that’s not all. The National Institutes of Health issued a letter last week confirming that Fauci, knowingly or unknowingly, lied to Congress when he denied that his office had funded, through grants, research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) on how to make bat coronaviruses more infectious in humans.

THEY’RE THE RIGHT SORT OF DEFENDANTS:

Instapundit-THEY’RE THE RIGHT SORT OF DEFENDANTS:

"Remember back when the U.S. government was confining hundreds of captured terrorists at Gitmo and actually, you know, even prosecuting some of them?
There were dozens of law firms offering those defendants pro bono legal services because otherwise they would be without a competent defense.
But more recently, there are hundreds of Trump supporters who were captured January 6 who have been confined for months since then at D.C., some of whom are being prosecuted and all of whom have been branded as “domestic terrorists” by influential government officials and media figures.
Many of these defendants need pro bono legal services, too. 

But curiously, as Allison Schuster of The Federalist writes, “not one of the legal firms that assisted Gitmo terrorists have helped any of those charged with ties to January 6.” 

Surely this must be coincidental, right?

In case at center of political firestorm, judge finds teen committed sexual assault in Virginia school bathroom - The Washington Post

In case at center of political firestorm, judge finds teen committed sexual assault in Virginia school bathroom - The Washington Post
"In a case that has generated a political firestorm, a Virginia juvenile court judge found sufficient evidence during a trial Monday to sustain charges that a teen sexually assaulted a classmate in the girls’ bathroom of a Loudoun County high school in May.
The teenager, now 15, is also charged with the sexual assault of another student that occurred months later at a different Loudoun school. 
...The case generated local and national attention after the parents of the girl assaulted in May said the charged youth was “gender fluid,” prompting renewed backlash against a policy in Loudoun County schools that allows transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity...Read all!

"...And as it turns out, this event would foreshadow one of the biggest economic issues….that we are currently witnessing today.

But to explain why this event was so important, and why its creating a global crisis today...you must know that this crisis that we are currently experiencing... may have actually started with a small bird, just a few decades ago.

Lying! Cheating! Election theft!-----Whitmer campaign raises $3.1M, continues to collect contributions over the normal limit - mlive.com

Whitmer campaign raises $3.1M, continues to collect contributions over the normal limit - mlive.com
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s campaign on Monday filed a campaign finance report showing she had raised $3.1 million this period, a number bolstered once more by jumbo contributions that exceeded what would normally be the contribution limit.
Typically, Michigan campaign finance law limits contributions from individuals to $7,150. 

However, the Whitmer campaign has relied on some 1980s guidance from the Secretary of State’s office indicating the limit doesn’t apply when a candidate is facing recall.
Recall petitions have been filed against Whitmer, though none appear poised to succeed in gathering enough signatures to move forward.
...Whitmer’s top donors were William Parfet, a businessman and heir to Upjohn Co. founder W.E. Upjohn, and retired Western Michigan University Professor Timothy Light, who each gave $50,000.
Other large donors included New York Democrat George Soros, who gave $25,000, and U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-California, who also gave $25,000....Read all!!

Democrats Want U.S. More Like E.U. | National Review

Democrats Want U.S. More Like E.U. | National Review: 

More destructive than any specific policy item that modern Democrats are pushing this year are the ideas they use to justify their agenda.

The $3.5 trillion bill that President Joe Biden and Democrats are now attempting to cram through Congress via reconciliation is meant to create a European-style cradle-to-grave welfare state here in the United States. Bernie Sanders, the bill’s Senate author, has for years praised systems across the Atlantic. As have many other Democrats.

"Tormented them with fear". Why?????

• Solar And Wind Are Forcing Poverty On Africa--WRITTEN BY YOWERI K. MUSEVENI- Mr. Museveni is the president of Uganda.
• Africa can’t sacrifice its future prosperity for Western climate goals.

"The continent should balance its energy mix, not rush straight toward renewables—even though that will likely frustrate some of those gathering at next week’s global climate conference in Glasgow.
...This earns them praise in the U.S. and Europe but leaves many Africans with unreliable and expensive electricity that depends on diesel generators or batteries on overcast or still days.

  There is an inherent racism built into the assumptions if climate hysteria.

  Even if the super rich can survive on solar or wind or whatever for the poorer nations of the world it is a recipe for disaster.

    That’s in addition to the class issues within individual countries. Sure the rich and upper middle classes won’t feel a pinch. But the aggregate effects of increased energy costs disproportionately impact the lower and what passes for middle classes.

    These climate policies really are the worst type of virtue signaling.

The only way their scheme can "work".

  Without the suppression tools, Breitbart’s traffic would increase “an estimated 20%, Washington Times’ 18%, Western Journal’s 16% and Epoch Times’ by 11%.”

"...It’s weird how people only name conservative news outlets when talking about fake news and hate-filled reports. 

...The Wall Street Journal reviewed internal documents that contradict the left and the supposed internal documents the “whistleblower” has in her possession.
...The study, dubbed a “political ideology analysis,” suggested the company had been suppressing the traffic of major far-right publishers, even though that wasn’t its intent, according to the documents.
...People inside the company warned those in charge they should not even use these tools in a test run...Read all!

The Left-Wing Bias in Economics Textbooks - El American

• 
  Academia is largely a left-wing bubble, full of people who teach because they can succeed at nothing else

“Economic illiteracy is dangerous,” warns economist Todd Buchholz...if I ignore basic economics, I could go broke. 

 And if a country ignores basic economics, it could go bankrupt.”
...Why else do you think the Biden administration officials would claim that some $4 trillion in proposed new government spending would cost “zero” (as the President himself has claimed)?
 They’re hoping that enough people will know so little economics that they can get away with it.

...In my memory, one of the worst examples of bias in economics textbooks came from Principles of Economics, 12th Edition (1985), written by the late Paul A. Samuelson and William D. Nordhaus. 

Writing about the economy of the Soviet Union (which died an overdue death six years later), the authors claimed that “there can be no doubt that the Soviet planning system has been a powerful engine for economic growth.”...Read all.

Laughing at climate hysteria - CFACT

• 
  "We should laugh at climate hysteria, especially the fantasy proposals for stopping evil climate change. Electrify everything, running it on wind and solar? 
• Restructure the economy? 
• Restart the world in a green image? 
  
• Stop eating meat and drinking milk? 

These proposals are all laughable, so feel free to laugh at them, as it will do a lot of good.
...Why laugh? 

There are several good reasons. 

First of all, ridicule is a powerful form of criticism. 

Properly used it is far more effective than anger. 

Laughing at the green fantasies also makes them a lot less scary, especially the end-of-days climate scares...Read all!
