26 out of the 27 Lancet scientists who trashed theory that Covid leaked from a Chinese lab have links to Wuhan researchers
[DailyMail]
  • The Lancet letter published in March 2020 called claims that Covid-19 originated in lab 'conspiracy theories'

  • It was signed by 27 scientists from across the globe working in virology and other medical science fields

  • The widely-read letter effectively ended all debate about origins of the global coronavirus pandemic

  • Investigation by The Telegraph has found 26 out of 27 had connections to China's Wuhan Institute of Virology

Six Capitol Police Did Some Bad Things On Jan. 6
[Epoch Times] The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) confirmed on Sept. 11 that it has recommended "disciplinary action" for six officers over their handling of protesters on U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, following internal investigations.
Have they all committed 'suicide' yet?
Three officers were identified for "conduct unbecoming," one for failure to comply with directives, one for improper remark, and one for improper dissemination of information, it said.
It's only been eight months; I'm sure they're still investigating!
The wrongdoings aren’t criminal in nature, the department said, adding that a U.S. attorney’s office review concurred it "did not find sufficient evidence that any of the officers committed a crime."
Not surprising. Lt. Byrd didn't commit a crime, shooting unarmed Ashli Babbit.
The USCP had announced in January that it suspended six officers with pay over their actions on Jan. 6, and that more officers were under investigation based on video and other open-source materials showing instances of potential violations of department regulations and policies. It isn’t clear if these same six cases are the ones identified in the update.

One of the officers suspended by USCP was caught on camera taking a selfie with one of the protesters. Another suspended officer was reportedly seen wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat and was seen directing people around, Ryan said.
Those are crimes of insurrection! Ask the 500 people in capitol jails.
Other videos show police officers standing motionless as groups made their way into the Capitol building. Some of those who entered the building claimed that officers allowed them inside.

According to the Sept. 11 update, the department hasn't been able to identify all officers being investigated.

USCP operations aren't subject to freedom of information laws, given the sensitive nature of their mission to secure the safety of members of Congress, although some members have urged the department to make their reports available to the public given the importance of determining the events of Jan. 6 and the need for transparency to restore confidence in the police department.

19 Governors, 2 AGs Resist Biden’s Vaccine Mandates
[EpochTimes] More than a dozen governors and two attorneys general late on Sept. 9 issued statements defying the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
’s impending vaccine mandates for federal workers and private-sector workers.

President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....
earlier in the day signed an executive order to require all federal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. There would be no option to opt out via COVID-19 testing. The mandate also applies to government contractors and their employees.

The president later announced he would direct the Department of Labor to create a rule to have companies with over 100 employees mandate vaccinations or weekly testing, a move that affects more than 80 million workers in the private sector.

At least 19 governors and two attorneys general immediately issued statements disagreeing with the administration’s move, with several vowing to defy it.

They include the governors of Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. All are Republicans.

They were joined by at least two state attorneys general, both Republicans, as of that night—Sean Reyes from Utah and Todd Rokita from Indiana.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the chair of the National Governors Association, said in a statement: "I fully support continued efforts to increase vaccination rates across our nation, but the federal government mandates on private businesses are not the right answer.

"I have been consistent in freedom of businesses to require their employees to be vaccinated, and I have opposed the government from saying businesses cannot exercise that freedom. The same principle should protect the private sector from government overreach that requires them to vaccinate all employees."

Multiple Republican governors, including for Arizona, Georgia, and South Dakota, hinted or announced that they would seek legal avenues to resist the mandates.

"The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective tools to prevent the disease, but getting the vaccine is and should be a choice," Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said in a statement. "These mandates are outrageous. They will never stand up in court. We must and will push back."

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wrote on Twitter, "I will pursue every legal option available to the state of Georgia to stop this blatantly unlawful overreach by the Biden administration."

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote on Twitter, "South Dakota will stand up to defend freedom. @JoeBiden see you in court." She later shared another Twitter post saying her legal team is prepared to stand up to the Biden administration’s mandates.

The Biden administration didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

#1  Of course Gov. Mike Dewine, Ohio (R) still has his finger in the air deciding what's best for him.
Posted by: The Walking Unvaxed || 09/13/2021 6:05 Comments || Top||

#2  The legal vultures may indeed be circling.

"I am eagerly awaiting tort lawyers to contact families of dead high risk COVID-19 patients, whose PCP's never even offered them monoclonal antibodies at a time when the infusions might have helped. PCP's were either ignorant of the existence of the treatment (partly their own fault) or prejudiced against mentioning them since they were used to help Trump. Florida has been well ahead of this issue since the FDA first issued EUA's for these treatments in Nov. 2020."

Any COVID treatment used or endorsed by the Orange Man must be roundly rejected.

Posted by: Besoeker || 09/13/2021 7:04 Comments || Top||

#3  Strange that treatment doesn’t seem to be an option the swamp wants, yet it’s has been successfully used in Texas and Florida at the state government assisted infusion centers. Same goes for HQC and ivermectin and other modalities that actually save the lives of the infected. If this were so much a public health threat then why is there no “use all the tools we have” approach, including early treatment, being taken with equal vigor to vaccination, which apparently does not prevent the disease and has a waning effect over time? Look at Israel, they drank all the koolaide and they still are being whipped by this, whereas Denmark and Sweden did nearly the opposite and are not having near as many problems.

Hmm…

#4  Biden has issued his mandate. Now let him enforce it.

Places you do not need a vaccine to work:
- Whitehouse
- Congress
- FDA
- CDC
- NIH
- Pfizer
- Moderna
- J&J

Government Corruption
FBI fires Whitmer kidnap case agent Richard Trask
[DetroitNews] The FBI has fired one of the lead agents credited with thwarting a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after he was charged with beating his wife following a swingers party, The Detroit News has learned.

The firing of Special Agent Richard Trask earlier this week comes amid questions about agent misconduct and whether as many as 12 informants were driving the alleged conspiracy.

Trask was fired, according to a source familiar with his case, while awaiting trial on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and allegations he smashed his wife's head against a nightstand and choked her after a dispute...

Last I looked there were 26 people involved in the "conspiracy" to kidnap Gov. Whitmer and set her adrift in a boat on Lake Michigan. (Seriously, who the f**k came up with that idea?)

Twelve out of twenty six were on the FBI payroll, including the #2 guy who provided money and hotel arrangements. Roughly half. It would be interesting to know how many Feebs were employed on the back end of this "conspiracy".

Rose McGowan, actress and Me Too founder, Slams Democrats, endorses Elder in Califonia
[DailyBeast] Rose McGowan began by announcing she no longer considered herself a Democrat because anyone who has "harassed, stalked, and stolen" from her in Hollywood has allegedly been a Democrat. After expressing her disgust for the party, McGowan spoke on the issue Larry Elder’s campaign had invited her for: allegations that Gov. Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, tried to bribe her in an attempt to hush her 2017 sexual assault accusations against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

In a YouTube interview last week, McGowan said Newsom’s wife had called her and asked "what it would take to make [her] happy."

McGowan added at Sunday’s press conference that Jennifer Siebel Newsom "inferred that she was a Weinstein rape victim to get into this private group of Weinstein rape victims."
Recall election is 14 Sept.

Hochul: National Guard members should qualify as veterans under state law
[NYPOST] Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed legislation today that would let members of the National Guard qualify as veterans under New York state law.

This would give them access to a slew of veterans benefits.

“In my opinion, they never got the recognition they deserved. It’s 20 years overdue, but I’m here to set that straight,” she said at the Javits Center. “I will continue to have your backs because you have ours every single day. And to ensure that you are not just recognized in word, but also in deed.”

Hochul appeared alongside the commander of the New York Army National Guard, Major Gen. Raymond F. Shields, Jr., to hand over a citation honoring National Guard members for their service on and after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Hochul thanked the members of the New York National Guard for deploying to “places like Afghanistan” and described her own visit to “a godforsaken country” where she saw them.

“I had the opportunity as a member of Congress, to see many members of the New York National Guard in battle fatigues in a godforsaken country. It looked like the moonscape when you flew over the mountains and you landed. It was just so colorless and out there,” she said.

Jerusalem Post Smears Black Republican Vernon Jones with Flaming Swastika
[BREITBART] The Jerusalem Post used a stock photograph of a flaming swastika and white youths giving a Nazi salute to accompany an article on Sep. 10 about Republican Vernon Jones, who is running for governor in Georgia and also happens to be black.

(Update: The Post replaced the swastika photograph with a photograph of Jones, following publication of this article.)

The article, by Ron Kampeas of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency wire service, described how a local Atlanta Jewish news outlet was pressured by leftists to drop an op-ed by Jones expressing solidarity with the Jewish community and Israel.

The Atlanta Jewish Times’ supposed reasons for dropping the article were the newspapers’ supposed policy against partisan political articles, and an allegation that Jones had associated himself with white supremacists at a protest against the 2020 election results. The paper’s leadership blamed junior staffers, and the rush of the High Holidays, for the supposed mistake.

Without drastic changes, Democrats are on track to lose big in 2022
[THEHILL] The marked decline in support for President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.......
and his administration nationally and in key swing states indicates that the Democratic Party could endure a blowout defeat in the 2022 midterm elections. Moreover, Biden is in a significantly weaker position now than both of his most recent Democratic predecessors — Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
and Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
— at this point in their presidencies, which suggests that Democrats could suffer even more substantial losses in 2022 than the party did in 1994 and 2010.

Indeed, voters nationally and in seven key swing states disapprove, rather than approve, of the job Biden is doing by a margin of 7 points or greater, according to a Civiqs survey released last week.

Nationally, 50 percent of voters disapprove of the job Biden is doing as president, while just 42 percent approve.

For reference, at the same point in Obama’s first term, Obama’s net approval rating was 19 points higher than Biden’s is right now. At the time, a majority of voters (52 percent) approved of Obama, while 41 percent disapproved, according to a Gallup survey released on Sept. 13, 2009.

That being said, in the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats lost a net of 64 House seats and Republicans gained six seats in the Senate.

Likewise, on Sept. 12, 1993, Clinton’s approval rating was recorded at 47 percent approve and 42 percent disapprove by a Gallup survey. To put that in context, Clinton’s net approval rating was 13 points higher than Biden’s is at the same point in his presidency.

Yet in the 1994 midterms, Democrats lost a net of 52 House seats and Republicans picked up eight seats in the Senate.


To note, Democrats’ blowout midterm defeats in both 1994 and 2010 can be attributed in large part to their passage of massive spending and tax bills in the years prior.

The Democrats’ 1994 defeat came after they pushed through Congress the then-largest tax increase in history without any Republican support. And in 2010, Democrats lost due in large part to voters’ perception of an ineffective economic stimulus as well as governmental overreach on health care and the economy by the administration and congressional Democrats.

To note, a number of recent polls show that voters have grown increasingly negative on the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
’s handling of major domestic issues, including the economy, COVID-19, immigration at the southern border and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

And now, with congressional Democrats having approved a budget blueprint in their $3.5 trillion dollar spending bill — which will bring massive tax increases and will likely increase the debt, deficit and inflation — the electoral backlash against Democrats could be even more substantial than in both 1994 and 2010.
