EPIC! DC Resident Destroys Fauci And DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as They Go Door to Door to Track Down Unvaccinated (VIDEO)
[GatewayPundit] A Washington DC resident excoriated Dr. Anthony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as they went door to door in his Anacostia neighborhood encouraging residents to receive the Covid -19 vaccine

In footage going viral on social media, the DC resident blasts Fauci and the Democrat lawmaker for coercing the public to inject themselves with the Covid “vaccines,” a gene-editing technology that has taken more lives than any vaccine in history and prevents no transmission against the man-made virus.

“The people in America are not settled with the information that’s been given to us right now. So, I’m not going to be lining up, taking a shot or a vaccination for something that wasn’t clear in the first place,” the man admonished. “And then, you are going to create a shot in a miraculous time. It takes years to create vaccinations.”

#10  That little clip is apparently almost two years old -

The exchange was documented by PBS for an upcoming program on Fauci as part of its "American Masters" series, which aims to help viewers "discover insightful profiles of important figures in America's artistic and cultural life."

In a clip from the program titled "Dr. Fauci visits D.C. to battle vaccine hesitancy," Fauci and Bowser are shown in June 2021 walking the streets of Ward 8 of Anacostia in southeast D.C. – a historical African-American neighborhood that Fauci called "disenfranchised" with low vaccination levels.

Biden Signs Bill to Declassify COVID Origins
[Epoch Times] President Joe Biden on March 20 signed into law a bill mandating declassification of COVID origin-related intelligence, saying that he shares "Congress’s goal of releasing as much information as possible" on the issue.

"We need to get to the bottom of COVID-19’s origins to help ensure we can better prevent future pandemics," Biden said in a statement. "My Administration will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

He added that, in implementing the legislation, the administration will "declassify and share as much of that information as possible, consistent with my constitutional authority to protect against the disclosure of information that would harm national security."

#9  What justification could there have been to classify it in the first place?

Anything generated through the security services or foreign intel collection is just automatically classified. Generally it is declassified pretty quickly (1-2 years unless needed released asap).

Given that though, I have seen some things that are out there on wikipidea still classified and there is no fucking reason why it should be. Too much info classified and not enough people with the authority to release it.

Signature Bank Threw a Fundraiser for a GOP Congressman Now Probing How It Failed
[BBG excerpt] Ten days before Signature Bank collapsed, the House Republican overseeing an inquiry into the bank's failure was inside its boardroom on New York's Fifth Avenue. Patrick McHenry (R-CO) was there to raise thousands of dollars from bank executives.

Four Oath Keeper associates convicted of felonies for roles in US Reichstag Capitol attack
[GEO.TV] Four associates of the far-right Oath Keepers group were found guilty on Monday for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, but the Washington jury remained deadlocked on some serious charges for two other defendants who did not enter the building during the chaos.

Oath Keeper associates Sandra Ruth Parker, Laura Steele, Connie Meggs and William Isaacs were found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding - a charge that can carry up to 20 years in prison, as well as several other felony and misdemeanour charges.

Michael Greene and Bennie Parker, the two who did not enter the Capitol building, were acquitted on the most serious felony charges, though the jury remained deadlocked on one outstanding felony count for each man.

US District Judge Amit Mehta instructed the jury to go back and continue to deliberate on the two remaining counts.

Greene and Bennie Parker were found guilty, however, on lesser misdemeanour charges of entering a restricted building or grounds.

The verdict marks the end of the third major trial against members of the bad boy group, who were among the thousands of Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
supporters who attacked the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Democratic President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. A latter-day version of Romulus Augustulus, only more friendly to the barbarians at the gates...
's November 2020 election win.

Then-president Trump, a Republican, fired up the crowd on Jan. 6 with false claims that his defeat was the result of widespread fraud. He has continued to repeat those false claims, which have been rejected by multiple courts and members of his own administration, as he seeks the Republican nomination to run in 2024.

The Oath Keepers is a militia group founded by Stewart Rhodes in 2009 whose members include current and retired US military personnel, law enforcement officers and first responders.

Home Front: Politix
Dems will infiltrate Trump street protests to turn them violent
[THEASPENBEAT] Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
has characterized his impending arrest this week as a political vendetta, and has urged his supporters to take to the streets in protest.

I agree with him that it’s a political vendetta, but disagree about taking to the streets.

It is indeed a nakedly political act by the Manhattan District Attorney. Numerous other prosecutors including sophisticated federal prosecutors have reviewed this same evidence, and have declined to pursue this case.

Rightly so. It’s a lousy case. The legal theory is a stretch. Moreover, the prosecution’s fact witnesses are not credible. One is a former porn star who has been caught numerous times lying and the other is Trump’s former lawyer who is willing to say anything he’s told to say in order to save his own hide.

Layer on top of that a prosecutor who is not exactly a top-notch trial lawyer and is known to get money from George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
, and you have, as I said, a lousy case, even in New York where Trump has gone from loved to reviled. The prosecution will lose.

The result of that loss will be to boost Trump’s election chances because it will cast him as a wrongly persecuted martyr. Elon Musk — no dummy — declared that the case would guarantee Trump’s election. I wouldn’t go that far, but I do think it will help Trump.

Unless....

Unless there are violent mostly peaceful protests. If that happens, the Dems will portray it as a Jan. 6 redo. It’s certainly true that the Dems overplayed the mostly peaceful (as they would describe it if they were the instigators) Jan. 6 incident, but the point is that they overplayed it with some success. The midterms, for example, went surprisingly well for them.

The Dems and their media allies will do the same with another protest, and they will do it even better this time because it will start to look like a pattern with Trump and his supporters.

You think the protests won’t turn violent mostly peaceful? Consider this. The Dems want that violence in order to paint Trump and his supporters as violent mostly peaceful people. They are sure to infiltrate the protests in the guise of being on Trump’s side, just as the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
apparently did on Jan. 6, for the express purpose of inciting violence in otherwise peaceful crowds of Trump supporters. Trump, his supporters, and Republicans in general will get the blame.

It will be a case of Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
thugs costumed in MAGA hats.
Not FBI agents provocateur? Or perhaps both?

Trump Critics Slam Looming Indictment as ‘Nonsense’, ‘Partisan,' Say It Will Help Him in 2024
[BREITBART] As former President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
is preparing to be indicted by the Democrat District Attorney of Manhattan Alvin Bragg, some of his critics are slamming the indictment as partisan politics.

Andrew McCarthy, former chief assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who has never been a fan of Trump’s, over the weekend blasted Bragg’s case against the former president as "nonsense" and a "blatantly partisan exercise of raw power."

"This is a classic, invidious selective prosecution. It is being launched strictly for political purposes," he wrote in a column for the National Review Online.

"It is hard to think of anything that will more rile up Trump’s base and anger other Republicans who, regardless of their distaste for Trump, will find this maneuver despicable," he argued.

Trump said on social media over the weekend that he believes he will be indicted this week by Bragg.

Alan Dershowitz, who is also not a fan of Trump’s but has slammed politicized investigations and impeachments of the former president, wrote recently in the New York Sun:

All decent people, whether politically opposed to Mr. Trump (as I am) or supportive of his candidacy, should be concerned about this weaponizing of the prosecutor’s office for the political purpose of preventing a potential candidate from running for office.

Nolte: Ben Carson Says Charges Against Trump ‘Absurd, Embarrassing’
[BREITBART] Dr. Ben Carson
... a neurosurgeon who was under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president....
said the idea of arresting and filing charges against former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
is "absolutely absurd" and "embarrassing."

Carson, who served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Trump, was interviewed by Newsmax Sunday and did not hold back on the issue. He specifically pointed to Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...
and how quickly that once idyllic country collapsed under this kind of political corruption.

"Look how quickly Venezuela changed," he said. "That is high in my thinking because I’ve been there several times when it was a wonderful place to visit, with beautiful resorts and hotels." Carson pointed out that the "biggest thing that people argued about is whether they were the most beautiful people in the world." But once Venezuela’s government became corrupt, Carson said, "they went from ... number one economy in South America to the bottom almost overnight. This is what can happen when you allow these kinds of things."

The "these kinds of things" Carson is referring to is the likelihood of George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg arresting and charging Trump with a campaign finance violation—a misdemeanor charge that in the past has almost always resulted in a fine.

Biden issues first veto, taking on new Republican House
[APNEWS] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
issued the first veto of his presidency Monday in an early sign of shifting White House relations with the new Congress since Republicans took control of the House in January — a move that serves as a prelude to bigger battles with GOP politicians on government spending and the nation’s debt limit.

Biden sought to kill a Republican-authored measure that would ban the government from considering environmental impacts or potential lawsuits when making investment decisions for people’s retirement plans. In a video released by the White House, Biden said he vetoed the measure because it "put at risk the retirement savings of individuals across the country."

His first veto represents a more confrontational approach at the midway of Biden’s term in office, as he faces a GOP-controlled House that is eager to undo parts of his policy legacy and investigate his administration and his family. Complicating matters for Biden, several Democratic senators are up for re-election next year in conservative states, giving them political incentive to put some distance between them and the White House.

#2  I don’t expect to see many vetos. Schumer didn’t have to bring it to the floor. Everybody involved got to model their attitude. The soundtrack for this entire sham should have been Madonna’s Vogue. If the Republicans win the White House, they will only run this back if the Senate is set up for a filibuster. There are too many corrupt folks on both sides for this to be a serious effort.
