Beijing (pop. 24 million) was the site of an absolutely remarkable happening. This may very well be a first in the history of communist China.
Last week, the CDC Director finally stated the obvious. During an interview, Rochelle Walensky said her agency mishandled significant parts of its responsibilities during COVID. I would say that the damage that’s been done to public trust in the CDC simply cannot be overstated. It will take a very long time before trust in the CDC will be restored.
At every step along the way, the CDC has appeared inept and flatfooted, even during the Trump administration. It’s only gotten worse under Walensky’s leadership.
So where do we begin with this?
Perhaps Walensky should step down. At least that would take her out of the running for the most inept appointment of the current administration.
There is every reason to question the motives behind this raid. This is especially true when you consider the lack of attention to Hillary’s email server, the Carter Page warrants, the Russian “collusion” hoax, the utterly damning evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop that still has not been properly pursued by investigators, and on and on.
This raid on a former President’s home is unprecedented and has all the markings of a total abuse of political power. It looks like Deep State malfeasance at its best and a complete descent into totalitarianism at its worst. Every American ought to be alarmed and outraged over this.
This will be an attempt to outline the story behind how we have gotten to where we are today in this country. And, to be clear, that story is the fact that the DOJ and the FBI are now weapons being used by the administration in power to target political opposition.
Sundance over at CTH is fond of quoting that once you have seen the marionette strings, you cannot unsee them. Mike Turner, a Republican congressman from Ohio, took the place of Devin Nunes as the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) when Nunes left Congress.
On Sunday, Turner was interviewed on CBS by Ed O’Keefe about the illegal and unconstitutional raid on PDJT’s home at Mar-a-Lago. These men are two puppets who play their roles in trying to indict PDJT in the public’s mind. This is the only approach where the characters behind the curtain have any hope of being successful.
There have been many opinions offered about the raid on Mar-a-Lago. The backlash that the DOJ and the FBI have gotten over this raid is phenomenal. Attorney Robert Barnes has weighed in.
One Alec Rawls has written an excellent piece on what is going on with the Mar-a-Lago raid. It does not address all the issues but does an excellent job on the intent of the Demo-Communists who would turn the country into a totalitarian state.
“Woke” areas continue to suffer from the leftist’s antics since 2020. This covers both health issues as well as industries. The results in some industries have been catastrophic.
“The result of preaching totalitarian doctrines is to weaken the instinct by means of which free peoples know what is or is not dangerous.” — George Orwell, Animal Farm
Perhaps no quote is more apropos for our times about what is going on in western countries right now. Bob Livingston has written an essay that pours sunlight on this idea.
Those of us who pay attention to the political and economic scenes in this world are often appalled at what we see. In some respects we can become like some police officers who see too much evil and not enough good. It is always refreshing to find a story about the good in people particularly our younger people.
New York City is closing “Infant COVID Vaccination Sites”, citing lack of demand! This has happened because parents refused to give their children the COVID vaccine.
This is a win for science. There never was a reason for kids this young to be jabbed. 90% of parents of kids under 5 have refused to allow their children to be jabbed with the COVID mRNA therapy. The facts of the huge numbers of adverse events from the jabs has slowly seeped out into the public consciousness. This is reflected in the declining numbers of people who are getting “boosted.” ...
