[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] A physician’s message about low pediatric deaths from COVID-19 was blocked from Facebook for violating "community standards on spam."
Dr. Tracy Høeg, sports, spine, and regenerative medicine doctor responded to a poster’s question about the infant mortality rate due to COVID.
Dr. Høeg told users following her account that there were 19 infant deaths due to COVID in April, a number that is rapidly declining.
"Part of the reason I have (for the most part) left Facebook is they delete my post/responses that are factual, which I triple check," she wrote. "I was responding to a question about what the number of pediatric deaths were due to COVID in April. I don’t feel like directly citing numbers from CDC and AAP should be deleted as spam, but maybe that is just me. I have moved to Twitter FYI."
Dr. Tracy Høeg recently testified in a school safety hearing in New York that school-aged children were more likely to get COVID in their local community than at school.
Social media giants like Facebook have acted as arbiters of truth for COVID-related information, suppressing content that does not fit their doomsday narrative.
Congressman Roger Marshall M.D. (R-KS), a licensed physician, was previously censored by Facebook for discussing CDC information about the virus.
"A Facebook post published on Sunday afternoon by U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. discussing updated COVID-19 death data released by the CDC was removed Monday night by Facebook without notice or explanation," KNSS reported at the time. Marshall explained later on Facebook that his earlier post had "discussed the new data published by the CDC showing that only 6% of deaths were due solely to COVID-19, while the remaining 94% of deaths had two or more underlying health conditions."
Marshall slammed Big Tech’s watchdog filtering discussions about COVID, saying, "Social media companies should not be allowed to censor science that they disagree with." He added that such behavior was nothing less than "corporate censorship, pure and simple."

[AMGREATNESS] Is it illegal to enter the United States without permission? Or does unlawful entry warrant instant state subsidy and federal legal help to further violate the law? Is everyone or just a few anointed allowed to carve out an entire urban no-go zone that even the police dare not enter? Is there a crime such as arson or looting? Are there even criminals such as arsonists and looters anymore—or just those naïve enough to try torching buildings or stealing from pharmacies in small numbers and without ideological pretenses? Does attacking Jews and Asian Americans constitute "hate crimes"—or does it depend on the race, ideology, or ethnicity of the attacker? Is defacing a monument or tearing down a public statue a crime or just woke exuberance? Are there good riots and good looting and good arson that are not indictable, and then again bad riots and bad looting and bad arson that are?
There are plenty of dangers when our important institutions lose their traditional sources of support. The Left inherently distrusts the military to the degree it cannot quite turn it into a people’s army of social change and an ideological tip of the spear. It also has contempt for science that believes in absolute cannons and remains the lone atoll in the academic sea of relativism that long ago absorbed the humanities and social sciences. And the Left despises the law as an ossified obstacle to social change. "Critical theory" is the reductionist idea that equality of result and "equity" alone adjudicate whether murder is murder, theft is theft, and a border is a border.
Most conservatives and traditionalists have given up on their once cherished FBI that transmogrified into JamesThe spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey The disgraced, except in his own mind, former head of the FBI... ’s "I cannot recall" and "I don’t remember" ideological swamp. Ditto the CIA and NSA run by the likes of partisan wheeler-dealer John Brennan ...director of the CIA under the Obama administration. One of the deeper dwelling denizens of the Deep State, probably the guy who lit the match that launched the Russiagate coup attempt... and partisan incompetent James Clapper, who both lied under oath with impunity and politicized the very security agencies of the United States.
Our most important and cherished institutions are losing the trust of Middle America. I doubt they will easily recover it, or find any such loyal supporters among their new coterie of fair-weather, progressive sycophants—and to the detriment of us all.

The feet were actually made of clay mixed with iron. [Nebuchadnezzar's dream] Two different standards of law for different classes? And therein perhaps lies the answer to the questions asked.
[AMERICANTHINKER] Well, this isn't going to help the corporate media narrative that "insurrectionists" inspired by President Trump's rhetoric tried to overthrow democracy at the Capitol. Yesterday on ABC's This Week, George Will said, "I would like to see January 6th as burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11," and I don't think he meant as an example of agents provocateurs creating false flag incidents to discredit their political rivals.
But thanks to a court filing that has escaped corporate media notice, we now know that the Justice Department has seized over $60,000 from the bank accounts of John Earle Sullivan, who sold video he took of activities that day, including of the murder of Ashli Babbitt, under the theory that it was the fruit of a criminal act.

I know AT is trying to stick to proven facts, but Brokeback Cowboy with his Australian Style Duster, Brand New Fencing Gloves, and wrists like Miley Cyrus' ankles is definitely suspect.
The only thing surprising is that Confederate Doughnut were able to get their fat asses away from the gaming table long enough to make it up three flights of stairs for a photograph.
[BREITBART] Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), told Breitbart News that revelations in a new book that President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?... ’s son Hunter Biden ......son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for himm..... took more than 20 trips through Joint Base Andrews are more proof of "utter corruption" of establishment media.
"The revelation of Hunter Biden’s trips through Joint Base Andrews is further proof of the corporate media’s utter corruption and blinding partisanship," Nunes told Breitbart News exclusively on Sunday. "They dismissed, ridiculed, and censored reporting on Hunter’s obvious conflicts of interest for the sole purpose of helping Joe Biden’s election prospects. The corporate media has fully merged with the Democratic Party, and their reporting is indistinguishable from crude Democrat talking points."
Nunes’s comments on this matter come after revelations about Hunter Biden’s travel practices, when his father was vice president to former President Barack Obama That’s just how white folks will do you.... , were published Saturday from the new book Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Secret Deals and Hidden Corruption. In particular, the book—from Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow—revealed Secret Service travel records that showed Hunter Biden took 411 trips, including to 29 foreign countries and 23 trips through Joint Base Andrews, from 2009 to 2014. During that time, his father—now the president of the United States—was vice president of the United States.
The reason why the Joint Base Andrews trips are important is because that is the home of Air Force One and Air Force Two. On Saturday, Breitbart News published a piece from Marlow adapted from the book that further explained the significance of the revelations:
Despite this evidence that there was not an "absolute wall" between Hunter and Joe when it comes to business endeavors, the establishment press has shown little interest in exploring whether Hunter was actually leveraging his father’s power to enrich himself. In fact, quite the contrary. The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , for example, published a story in 2020 portraying Hunter as a skilled artist who was mastering painting. The article, headlined "There’s a New Artist in Town. The Name Is Biden," un-ironically featured glossy photographs of a relaxed and polished Hunter Biden working away in his studio.
The American public has been told consistently that Hunter Biden is as pure as the driven snow. Joe Biden called his son "the smartest guy I know." Dr. Jill Biden (Ed.D.) and Joe both expressed confidence that Hunter had done nothing wrong. And, of course, Joe said he thought it was all Russian disinformation. And of course, Facebook and Twitter famously censored bombshell reporting by the New York Post on Hunter Biden that has not been proven to be "Russian" or "disinfo."

[American Thinker] The Biden administration is set to release three terrorists from the U.S.’s Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
Saifullah Paracha, a former Al Qaeda bagman and terror plotter who met with Usama bin Laden in the fall of 2000, is one of the three to be released. Paracha also offered up his textile company for Al Qaeda’s use. He suggested that AL Qaeda might use his company’s containers to bring chemical agents like sarin gas—and other weapons of mass destruction—into the United States.
Uthman Abdul al-Rahim, from Yemen, is another GITMO detainee to be set free. He was a guard for Usama bin Laden and was part of the "55th Arab Brigade" at Tora Bora. Al-Rahim’s brother is a member of Al Qaeda, and some of his buddies were responsible for the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in October of 2000.
Abdul Rabbani is also scheduled to be granted freedom. Rabbani is a long-time friend of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, a fellow GITMO inmate, and the principal architect of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 innocent souls and injured more than 6,000 others. He is thought to have helped KSM plan the infamous attack—and probably one or more previous Al Qaeda acts.
[Epoch Times] Election auditors Windham, New Hampshire, are saying that some of their latest findings are "large enough to account for discrepancies" in the Nov. 3 election results for four state representative seats.
Auditors said they found "experimental confirmation that if the contest is undervoted, a fold through a vote target can create a vote."
"Something we strongly suspect at this juncture, based on various evidence, is that in some cases, fold lines are being interpreted by the scanners as valid votes," Mark Lindeman, who is part of the audit team, told WMUR.
Harri Hursti, another auditor, wrote on Twitter that testing proved folded ballots were misinterpreted by machines.
"Test decks proved that foldings across a vote targets is misinterpreted as additional phantom votes or subtracts votes due to false overvotes," he wrote in a post.
The audit team said that more issues could be involved besides folded ballots being misinterpreted.
"The fold effect is large enough to account for discrepancies, but might not be all that’s going on," the team said on Twitter on May 22, adding that "75 folded ballots voted straight Republican. Only 48 votes recorded for them. Folds generated overvotes. This is machine used on Election Day [for] most absentee ballots."
Another machine was found to have "an even more dramatic problem" by the auditors, who said that only 28 percent of the votes for Republican candidates were counted.
"The work is not completed yet. While the folding seems to be a strong contributor it clearly is not the only factor," Hursti said on Sunday. "For example: We have observed vastly different error rates on two machines processing the same ballots. Work continues."

this seems like something that wouldve been thought about and planned for in a machine that reads paper ballots. paper does get folded quite often.
of course, this could've been a feature, not a bug. or maybe just the result of awarding a contract to the lowest bidder.
[BIZPACREVIEW] Congressman Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) says his honeymoon in Dubai was more important than showing up to vote against trashy bills orchestrated by Democrats in the U.S. House."If I have a choice between voting with Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... or spending time with my beautiful wife, I’ll chose Cristina every time," newlywed Cawthorn declared.
On Real America’s Voice News, the politician responded to media reports that he has the worst voting record in the first-term class, missing 16.2 percent of votes among that cohort on the floor of the chamber, which is under narrow, but effective, control of the Democrats, and where the minority party — unlike in the Senate — has relatively minimal influence on legislation.
"It just shows how exactly the Democrats feel about the nuclear family in America right now. I would tell you I was doing the only thing that I find more important than my service here in Congress, and that was my service as a husband. I just got married about seven weeks ago, and so my wife and I, we went on our honeymoon," Cawthorn, 25, told The Water Cooler host David Brody in the clip embedded below.
"But during that time, I missed 15 votes in one week because that’s when they had the votes pile up. And I’ll tell you, every single vote that came up, it was some Democrat garbage, so I was happy to be able to not have to actually vote on those because [they] eliminated our voices, are not allowing us to debate on the House floor. And I’ll you, if I have a choice between voting with Nancy Pelosi or spending time with my beautiful wife, I’ll chose Cristina every time."
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Ted Cruz; ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet... and MSNBC anchor Brian Williams got into an epic war of words over a controversial post Cruz made comparing US and Russian military
Cruz shared a video clip contrasting a 'woke' US Army recruitment video with a Russian one as evidence of a what he called an 'emasculated military'
The clip quickly went viral and drew criticism from progressives and veterans
Others agreed his comments highlight fears America's armed forces are being softened by 'woke' principles
Williams called the Texas Senator 'Kremlin Cruz', and said he was 'peddling Russian propaganda'
Cruz hit back labeling Williams a 'pitiful example of corrupt corporate media'

Brian Williams?! That lying sack of shit still has a job?
How did that happen?
[NATIONALREVIEW] Austin, Texas, enjoys a well-deserved image as a cool and rapidly growing city, with great food, nightlife, a booming tech industry, the University of Texas, and major events such as Austin City Limits music festival, South by Southwest, and Formula 1. But over the past two years it has gained a new reputation: a city with a homelessness crisis, fueled by a misbegotten "camping" policy.
On July 1, 2019, a public-camping ordinance took effect that made unregulated, open public camping lawful in nearly all public spaces in Austin. The consequences were profound immediately. Homeless shelters emptied, homeless individuals began traveling to Austin, major intersections had large encampments form, and even Town Lake, among the most beautiful and cherished areas of our city, became overrun with tents and makeshift encampments.
Austin incentivized vagrancy as a lifestyle choice and did nothing to prepare for the consequences of the policy shift. The two of us do not agree on national politics whatsoever, but when we met about two years ago, we quickly realized that citizen-led grassroots activism would be the only way that we could save Austin from becoming a failed city like Los Angeles or the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...

The people in Austin are hostile to the industry I'm in and therefore my ability to make a living. But suuuuuure, they have a right to their dumbass neo-bourgeoisieshevik lifestyle.

Thirty-five Republicans defected from leadership and voted in favor of the bill that would create a bipartisan commission with subpoena power

[NYPOST] Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out.... on Monday defended having his CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who knows what it might stand for... anchor brother take part in high-level strategy sessions about his sex scandal — and stunningly claimed that he gets guidance from other journalists "all the time."During a news conference at Long Island’s Jones Beach, the governor confirmed a report that his younger brother, Chris, joined a series of conference calls to help the Democratic governor plan his response to the sexual harassment scandal that’s plaguing him.
"I had conversations with my brother. I always have conversations with my brother because he’s my brother and he’s my best friend," Andrew Cuomo said in response to a question from The Post.
"Obviously, he was aware of what was going on and I talked to him about it, and he told me his thoughts. He always tells me his thoughts. Sometimes I follow them, sometimes I don’t. He was not covering the story. He had recused himself from the story."

[NYPOST] As presidential blurbs go, this one was very short and enormously consequential. Eleven minutes after Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, the White House issued a two-sentence statement. The first said simply, "This Government has been informed that a Jewish state has been proclaimed in Paleostine and recognition has been requested by the provisional Government thereof."
The second sentence made history: "The United States recognizes the provisional government as the de facto authority of the State of Israel."

Having listened to Spencer in person in several small settings and meetings TW, consider that leaders may be aware of his viewpoints more than the wider conservative audience. He’s a pretty impressive voice.
