Fox News Disappears Lara Logan From the Air Following Fauci Attack
[GatewayPundit] On Thursday Dr. Fauci complained publicly about Lara Logan’s comments comparing him to the Nazi doctor. VIDEO at the link.

Following her comments about Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Fox News appearance on Monday, Lara Logan has been noticeably absent from the airwaves this week, having made zero appearances since.

"Has Lara Logan been quietly benched by Fox News? All indications are yes," CNN’s Oliver Darcy pointed out in the Reliable Sources newsletter. "Fox isn’t commenting on the matter, but prior to that Monday appearance, Logan was a mainstay on the network. Now she has disappeared."

Darcy may have a point. Looking into some immediately prior appearances, we found that for the week of November 21 to 27, Logan was on that Sunday on Fox & Friends, and that Friday on The Faulkner Focus. That week the network also aired the Fox Nation "Patriot Awards" show, where Logan was a presenter.

The previous week, Logan was on with Trey Gowdy, Sean Hannity, Fox & Friends, Fox News Primetime, The Five, and America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino, where she spoke with Sandra Smith about terror and promoted her special on Fox Nation. So she regularly appears both on the network’s opinion shows and the dayside news programs.

While Lara Logan is neither a contributor nor host on Fox News Channel, like many Fox Nation personalities she is on the network a lot. Or rather, she usually is. She wasn’t in the days following the Mengele comments.

#2  Like Dr Angelique Coetzee who said her patients have extremely mild cases of Omicro, Logan is an evil, white South African who must not be believed. The crisis and fear must continue.

#11  Lifelong Self-Promoting Lying Piece of Shit works for me.

When AIDS spread among gay men and intravenous drug users four decades ago, it became conventional wisdom that the plague would soon devastate the rest of the American population. In 1987, Oprah Winfrey opened her show by announcing, “Research studies now project that 1 in 5—listen to me, hard to believe—1 in 5 heterosexuals could be dead of AIDS in the next three years.” The prediction was outlandishly wrong, but she wasn’t wrong in attributing the scare to scientists.

One early alarmist was Anthony Fauci, who made national news in 1983 with an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association warning that AIDS could infect even children because of “the possibility that routine close contact, as within a family household, can spread the disease.”

After criticism that he had inspired a wave of hysterical homophobia, Dr. Fauci (who in 1984 began his current job, as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), promptly pivoted 180 degrees, declaring less than two months after his piece appeared that it was “absolutely preposterous” to suggest AIDS could be spread by normal social contact. But other supposed experts went on warning erroneously that AIDS could spread widely via toilet seats, mosquito bites and kissing.

#16  Here is what she actually said, “What you see on Dr. Fauci — this is what people say to me: that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Josef Mengele,” she said. “Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps. And I am talking about people all across the world are saying this, because the response from covid, what it has done to countries everywhere, what it has done to civil liberties, the suicide rates, the poverty, it has obliterated economies."

Government Corruption
Biden administration releases plan to combat corruption at home and abroad
[FoxBusinessNews] Strategy aims to leverage entire U.S. government to fight corruption.

"Corruption threatens United States national security, economic equity, global antipoverty and development efforts, and democracy itself," Biden said in a statement on June 3, 2021, as he established a fight against corruption as a core national security interest of the United States. "But by effectively preventing and countering corruption and demonstrating the advantages of transparent and accountable governance, we can secure a critical advantage for the United States and other democracies."

The strategy involves five pillars: modernizing, coordinating and resourcing U.S. government efforts to fight corruption; curbing illicit finance; holding corrupt actors accountable; preserving and strengthening the multilateral anti-corruption architecture; and improving diplomatic engagement and leveraging foreign assistance resources to fight corruption.

The strategy comes after federal departments and agencies conducted a review "to take stock of existing U.S. Government anti-corruption efforts and to identify and seek to rectify persistent gaps in the fight against corruption."

The strategy lays out a few different types of corruption:

  • Grand corruption: when political elites steal large sums of public funds or otherwise abuse power for personal or political advantage.

  • Administrative corruption: the abuse of entrusted power for private gain — usually by low- to mid-level government officials — in interactions with citizens and the private sector, including to skirt official regulations and extort citizens in exchange for their basic services.

  • Kleptocracy: a government controlled by officials who use political power to appropriate the wealth of its nation. Can include state capture.

  • State capture: when private entities improperly and corruptly influence a country’s decision-making process for their own benefit.

  • Strategic corruption: when a government weaponizes corrupt practices as a tenet of its foreign policy.

Home Front: Politix
Another Liberal Media Outlet Just Ran a Brutal Story on Kamala Harris
[Townhall] Days after news came out that Vice President Kamala Harris would be losing not only her top adviser, Symone Sanders, but two other staffers, The Washington Post ran a piece noting the departures "[reignite] questions about her leadership style—and her future ambitions."

The article comes less than a month after CNN ran a brutal story on the "entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus" by the VP and her staff.

In the report published Saturday, WaPo details how former staffers who worked with her prior to her becoming VP, said a "consistent problem" with the Democrat is that she would "refuse to wade into briefing materials prepared by staff members, then berate employees when she appeared unprepared."

"It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," one former staffer told the Post. "With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why."

One defense of Harris came from Sean Clegg, a political consultant who once advised Harris—but in doing so he compared her to Donald Trump.

#3  Turns out after you sleep your way to the top, people expect you to actually perform. Combine this with affirmative action hire, and is it any wonder she's incompetent? She's vice president, an easy job if there ever was one.

#4  Yet more evidence of the effort to push her to accept the SCOTUS nomination and the back-channel Pelosi lifetime insider-information and special access awards. The demokrats and the Central Committee at Kalorama know they have a rapidly declining puppet show in Bidet et al, and the Cackle-Jackal has now been seen as a huge impediment to 2022 and beyond. They know the additional scrutiny on even their best voter fraud can't cover the mega-gap in the mid-terms, let alone 2024. So the faucet of insider stories and negative publicity will slowly increase until even a dullard like Kamala sees the dead end. The problem is she is just a tenacious and obdurate assh*le who knows she will be President if she just hides and waits...I look for something criminal to be revealed an insider hint piece and the hardball threat behind closed doors of a criminal impeachment to kick her into accepting h SCOTUS deal. The collateral damage to the whole democrat brand is mounting, but they are facing a Hobson's choice.

In Georgia, Stacey Abrams relies on new voters to buck history
Because the old voters remember her antics.
[NBCNEWS] As Stacey Abrams
...the pudgy, sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Stacey nominated herself to be Joe Biden's vice president nominee, to widespread national apathy. She has a very keen eye for Racism in any form, to include the imaginary...
builds her second gubernatorial campaign in four years, she is looking at a Georgia electorate that is far larger, younger and less white than the one that handed her a narrow defeat last time around, according to an analysis her aides provided exclusively to NBC News.That's one reason Abrams is confident that the result will be different this time, despite a national political wind that has shifted to Republicans' backs following the election of Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...
to the presidency in 2020 and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the Senate in January.

Nearly 1.3 million Georgians have registered to vote since her first bid in 2018. Forty-seven percent of them are people of color, 31.6 percent of them are Black and 43 percent of them are under the age of 30 — cohorts that traditionally skew heavily toward Democrats — according to the Abrams campaign's analysis. Almost 250,000 of them have registered since the 2020 election.

One thing is for sure about her and her staff..

They sure can "CREATE" voters out of thin air.
They were caught last election with 1000's of "extra ballots"they had not turned in yet.
-----------------------------------------------

GA has 7,234,431 registered to vote. Only roughly about 8.87% is not registered. Of which felony convictions account for 8 percent of the overall population and 33 percent of those African-American males (source UGA.) so roughly 0.87% still need to register? ☺

Fulton Co. ONLY has 793,198 registered as of Nov. 22, 2021
45% White / 44% Black / 11% other

BTW: Here is a list of every REGISTERED Voter for GA.

#6  Like Beto, Planet Abrams makes a profession out of being a candidate. It feeds the enormous and weight-appropriate ego, opens doors and connection that a gravity-impaired dirigible otherwise couldn't even approach, and pays a salary and expenses to a coterie of associates whose under-the-table kickbacks and gifts make for a comfortable lifestyle.
