Moms For Liberty BURIES 60 Minutes With Receipts After Program Runs Hit Piece on 'Banning' Books Let's start here with the bad news. The legacy media is every bit as manipulative and deceptive as you know they are. We already were aware of that, but Sunday night's 60 Minutes segment about 'banning books' in America put the problem in stark relief once again. But here's the good news. Conservatives are onto the game, and they know the corporate media cannot be trusted as far as you could kick them. So, when Moms For Liberty founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich agreed to appear on 60 Minutes to talk about the problem of gender ideology in schools, they were prepared. {snip} And sure enough, Scott Pelley did not disappoint in his segment, which was skewed from the very start, claiming that books are being 'banned,' which, of course, they are not. Anywhere. All concerned parents want is to limit their children's access to pornographic material and sexual indoctrination WHILE IN SCHOOL. And for that, Moms For Liberty gets labeled as 'right-wing extremists.' Pelley here claims twice that Justice and Descovich evaded his questions. Except Pelley has a problem. Moms For Liberty can prove that they did not dodge them. Sounds like a pretty comprehensive answer to us, 60 Minutes. Why didn't that air? We can't comment on what liability 60 Minutes might face here, that is a question for people well-versed in libel and defamation law, but it sure seems like Moms For Liberty has a case, given what they actually said to 60 Minutes versus what 60 Minutes aired. The editing 60 Minutes did isn't even very good. You can actually SEE some of the jump cuts. Reprehensible. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2024/03/03/moms-for-liberty-60-minutes-banning-books-n2393553

BREAKING: Full Speed Ahead on Fani Hearing, Judge Rules Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s decision to move forward with an evidentiary hearing on Thursday is a blow to Willis, who had asked the judge to cancel the hearing and reject motions from Trump and other co-defendants who are seeking to disqualify her over her claims she had an improper relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/georgia-judge-moves-forward-with-hearing-on-fani-willis-misconduct-claims/ar-BB1iaYlF

STICKING POINTS By Scott Johnson Reading about the ceasefire negotiations that the ceasefire negotiations with which the Biden administration hopes to engineer a Hamas victory requires a certain kind of immunity to savagery. Hamas seeks to trade kidnapped Israelis for terrorists who can help Hamas finish the task it undertook on October 7. The Hamas terrorists are murderers and genocidaires. The Israelis are, well, you know, Jewish. Hamas seeks ten terrorists in exchange for every kidnapped Israeli and Israel seems okay with the proposition and the ratio. However, the Israelis declined to show up in Cairo for further negotiations so long as Hamas refuses to provide a list of living kidnap victims. The Israelis assess that 31 of the kidnap victims taken by Hamas on October 7 are now dead. This is either elided in mainstream news accounts or referred to euphemistically as one of the “sticking points.” The Times of Israel summed up the status of negotiations yesterday: Israel has said that 31 of the 130 hostages held since October 7 are dead. The first phase of the mooted deal is reported to provide for the release of 40 of the living hostages, including women, children, the elderly and the sick, in the course of a six-week truce, and in exchange for some 400 Palestinian security prisoners. The outline reportedly provides for negotiations on the further phased release of the remaining hostages, living and dead, in return for longer pauses in the fighting and many more Palestinian prisoner releases. On Sunday afternoon, a Hamas official told CNN that the group will not agree to a deal without Israel consenting to an end to the war in Gaza, a non-starter for Israel. Citing “a highly placed source” in the terror group, CNN reported that the two other areas of disagreement holding up a deal are the withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza, and Gazan civilians being allowed to return to the northern Gaza Strip. Vice President Harris found this a good time to hammer Israel yesterday in Selma, Alabama (White House transcript here). Israel is apparently responsible for “the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” Why, “just a few days ago, we saw hungry, desperate people approach aid trucks, simply trying to secure food for their families after weeks of nearly no aid reaching Northern Gaza. And they were met with gunfire and chaos.” The savages of Hamas have their allies among the idiots, useful or otherwise, of the Biden administration. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/03/sticking-points.php https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-wont-send-team-to-cairo-after-hamas-refuses-to-offer-list-of-living-hostages/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/03/03/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-commemorating-the-59th-anniversary-of-bloody-sunday-selma-al/

Ok, so you HAVE been living under a rock. Cool! I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt since you have generally good Bills takes. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/26/1159580425/newspapers-have-dropped-the-dilbert-comic-strip-after-a-racist-rant-by-its-creat https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/scott-adams-dilbert-newspapers-cancelled-comic-strip/ Also, statist? Really? Libertarianism is just as bad as communism.

I've been busy, so I didn't get a chance to finish watching this until this morning. Hopefully won't take as long for today's hearing. RECAP Rusty Bowers (GOP Speaker of the Arizona House): Wanted Donald Trump to win a second term of office, but Joe Biden won the election in Arizona Despite Trump’s assertions otherwise, Bowers never told Trump that he won the election nor that the election was rigged. Rudy called Bowers saying that he had proof of fraud, including illegal immigrants and dead people voting. Bowers asked for the evidence but Rudy never provided it. Rudy wanted Bowers to hold an official committee meeting to remove the electors and replace them with Trump electors. Bowers told them that they were asking him to violate his oath. Bowers asked Rudy and Jenna Ellis for the names of people who voted illegally, but they never provided any evidence. Giuliani: “We have lots of theories but we don’t have any evidence” Nobody every provided Bowers with evidence of fraud to question the outcome in Arizona John Eastman told Bowers to decertify the electors but Bowers replied that this would violate both his oath to the constitution and to the state of Arizona Bowers has received 20,000 emails and 10,000 voicemails and texts. On Saturdays, groups will come by his home with video panel trucks and blaring loudspeakers proclaiming him to be a pedophile, pervert, and corrupt. This was when his daughter was gravely ill and living with him. One man had a shirt with three bars on it, carried a pistol and threatened his neighbor. Brad Raffensberger (Secretary of State of Georgia): Wanted Donald Trump to win the 2020 election, but Joe Biden won. Ballots were counted three times: scanned, hand recount, and scanned again. All results were consistent. 28,000 Georgians skipped the presidential election and voted down ballot. The GOP congressmen got 33,000 more votes than Trump. Trump claimed that 5,000 dead people voted and filed lawsuits that 10,315 did, but the actual number was four. Trump claimed that there were 66,000 underaged voters, but the actual number was zero (17-year-olds can register so long as they will be 18 by election day). Trump claimed 2,424 non-registered people voted: actually zero Trump claimed 2,056 felons voted but it was really fewer than 75 Raffensberger offered to send Trump a link to the entire election counting video that would disprove his claims but Trump responded that he didn’t need it since he had a “better” link. Trump (audio from phone call): The real truth is that I won by 400,000 votes at least. So what are we going to do here folks?” Trump (audio from phone call): “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state” Raffensberger was doxed and got threats from all over the country. His wife got threats that were sexual in nature. His daughter-in-law’s home was broken into. Raffensberger followed the law and the constitution. At the end of the day, Trump came up short. Gabriel Sterling (COO in Georgia Secretary State of Georgia: in charge of voting systems and COVID voting): Received a call from a contact at Dominion who was audibly shaken. They were receiving threats. On the claim of suitcases full of ballots: Investigated it and found it was normal ballot processing If you watch the entire video, the election workers were under the impression that they got to go home around 10pm so they were packing up and putting ballots to be counted into tamper proof containers. The election monitors were still there. The Secretary of State’s office called and told them to stay, and you can see the director slumping at his desk, not wanting to tell people they can’t go home. He tells them, and they take their coats off and resume counting. On claims of double counting: Standard procedure for a miss-scan is to delete the count and rerun Any issues would be discovered during the manual tally Hand tallies can have a discrepancy of 1-2% but because of how Georgia runs elections, the hand tally was within 0.105% of the total votes cast and 0.0099% of the margin Kenneth Chesebro (Trump Laywer) memo: Outlined a plan of competing slates of electors in the battleground states won by Biden. Then Pence can pick the Trump electors from those states. Cassidy Hutchinson (Aide to Mark Meadows): Giuliani, Meadows, and some members of Congress were involved in the dual electors scheme White House counsel told them that the plan for alternate electors was not legally sound Ronna Romney McDaniel (RNC Chair): Trump and Eastman called and told them it was important for the RNC to help with the dual electors. Robert Sinners (Trump Campaign Staffer): We were useful idiots and rubes at that point [for working to get the dual electors] After hearing testimony from others on the campaign he was angry that nobody cared about putting people like him in jeopardy Would not have participated had he known the three main campaign lawyers were not on board Laura Cox (Michigan Republican Party Chair): Was told the MI republican electors were planning to meet in the capitol and hide overnight so they could fulfill the law of casting their vote in the Michigan chambers Documents from campaign: Electors had to cast ballots in secret Electors asked for the campaign to pay legal fees Fake electors signed certificates that they were the correct electors Wisconsin officials texted that the Trump campaign wanted someone to fly their fake electors docs to DC Staffer for Sen. Ron Johnson texted Pence staffer that Johnson wanted to hand deliver fake electors. Pence staffer said do not give them Audio of call between Trump and Francis Watson (GA investigator): “I won by hundreds of thousands of votes. It wasn’t close” “Whatever you can do Frances it would be, it’s a great thing. It’s an important thing for the country, so important. You have no idea, it’s so important and I very much appreciate it.” “Do you think they’ll be working after Christmas, to keep it going fast? Because, you know, we have that date of the 6th, which is a very important date.” Shaye Moss (Fulton Country department of registration and elections): In a decade of service, she had never received threats before Loved her job because she was told by her grandmother how important it was to vote and that people in her family didn’t always have that chance. Giuliani called out her and her mother as part of a scheme to run ballots through multiple times. This was not true Giuliani said they were passing around USB drives like cocaine. It was a ginger mint. Checked Facebook and there were a lot of death threats, telling her that she’ll be in jail with her mother. “Be glad it’s 2020, not 1920” Her mother, Ruby Freeman, helped with the election. On Trump call to Raffensberger: “We had at least 18,000, that’s on tape, we had them counted very painstakingly, 18,000 voters having to do with Ruby Freeman, she’s a vote scammer, a professional vote scammer and hustler.” Moss: Felt it was her fault for wanting to be an election worker. Felt it was her fault to put her family in this situation where they were now getting threats Doesn't want anyone to know her name. She won’t go places with her mom in case she shouts her name. She won’t go out at all. Gained 60lbs. Second guess everything that she does. It has affected her life in a major way, all because of lies. People showed up at her grandmother’s house. Grandmother called her screaming at the top of her lungs that people were at her home. They knocked on her door, she opened it and they pushed their way into the house claiming they were making a citizen’s arrest, looking for Shaye and her mom. Shaye had to tell her not to go out or answer the door At night, people would continually send pizzas over and over and she was expected to pay Nobody from the video is still a permanent election worker or supervisor. Shaye left her position. Ruby Freeman’s recorded testimony: Used to wear a shirt with her name on it but now she won’t tell people her name. She’s worried about being identified or having to give her name in public. She’s lost her name and her sense of security Stayed away from her home for two months for her safety “There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States target you? The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target on. But he targeted me, Lady Ruby, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen who stands up to help Fulton County run an election in the middle of the pandemic.” TAKEAWAYS: This hearing mostly focused on the dual electors scheme and the threats made to the people involved in the elections. On the latter, I don't have much to say other than it's heartbreaking and that forcing people out of their jobs through threats and replacing them with the kinds of people making those threats is a danger to our country. Especially since those jobs are responsible for our elections. On the dual electors scheme, it was clearly illegal, they knew it was illegal, and they tried it anyway. Some of the electors signed affidavits that they were the true electors. Those people should be prosecuted. As to Trump himself, I've thought that Georgia has been his most pressing legal exposure and the evidence here definitely puts him in jeopardy. He is on the record saying he won the election by 400,000 votes but that he just wanted Raffensberger to add 11,800 to his tally. This is telling the Secretary of State to input a number he knows is false (because he thinks the real number is about 400,000 more) and meets the prima facie case for election fraud under Georgia law. That does not mean he will be indicted, or if he is, that he'll be found guilty, but this seems pretty clear to be a crime. Finally, a lot of the pushback I've seen here on the hearing is that it is partisan because it's only the people who believe the Democrats. Given the actual witnesses, the two sides really seem to be who will testify under oath and who will not (which should give you a hint as to who is more believable). But most of the people testifying are Republicans that wanted Trump to win, people who worked to get Trump elected, or people appointed to their positions by Trump. Here is the list of some of the witnesses and authors of documents so far: Jared Kushner Ivanka Trump Bill Barr Jeffrey Rosen (Acting Attorney General) Richard Donoghue (Acting Deputy Attorney General) BJ Pak (US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia) Bill Stepien (Trump Campaign Manager) Jason Miller (Trump Campaign Senior Advisor) Matt Morgan (Trump Campaign General Counsel) Alex Cannon (Trump Campaign Lawyer) John Eastman (Trump Campaign Lawyer) Kenneth Chesebro (Trump Campaign Lawyer) Robert Sinners (Trump Campaign Staffer) Eric Herschmann (Trump White House Lawyer) Derek Lyons (Counselor to the President) Sarah Matthews (Trump White House Deputy Press Secretary) Mark Short (Pence's Chief of Staff) Greg Jacobs (Pence's General Counsel) Ben Williamson (Aide to Mark Meadows) Cassidy Hutchinson (Aide to Mark Meadows) Ronna Romney McDaniel (RNC Chair) Brad Raffensberger (GOP Georgia Secretary of State) Gabriel Sterling (GOP COO for Georgia Secretary of State) Shaye Moss (Georgia election worker) Ruby Freeman (Georgia election worker) Rusty Bowers (GOP Speaker of the Arizona House) Al Scmidt (GOP City Commissioner of Philadelphia) Laure Cox (Michigan GOP Chair) Ben Ginsburg (GOP Election Lawyer) Michael Luttig (Conservative judge) Chris Stirewalt (Fox News Politics Editor) Sean Hannity And here are just some of the people the committee has subpoenaed that we haven't heard from: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Rep. Mo Brooks Rep. Ronny Jackson Rep. Andy Biggs Rep. Barry Loudermilk Rep. Jim Jordan Rep. Scott Perry Jeffrey Clark (Acting Assistant AG) Kenneth Klukowski (Senior Counsel to Jeffrey Clark) Mark Meadows (WH Chief of Staff) Christopher Liddell (WH Deputy Chief of Staff) Stephen Miller (WH Senior Advisor) Michael Flynn (National Security Advisor) Peter Navarro (WH Trade Advisor) Daniel Scavino (WH Deputy Chief of Staff for Comms) Judd Deere (Deputy WH Press Secretary) Kayleigh McEnany (WH Press Secretary) John McEntee (WH Personnel Director) Brian Jack (WH Director of Political Affairs) Kash Patel (Chief of Staff to Def. Sec.) Nicholas Luna (Trump's Personal Assistant) Molly Michael (Special Assistant to the President) Max Miller (WH and campaign staffer) Keith Kellogg (Pence's National Security Advisor) Steve Bannon Jenna Ellis (Trump Campaign Attorney) Boris Epshteyn (Trump Campaign Strategic Advisor) Angela McCallum (Trump Campaign National Executive Assistant) Sidney Powell (Trump Campaign Lawyer) Michael Roman (Trump Campaign Director of Election Day Ops) Gary Michael Brown (Trump Campaign Deputy Director of Election Day Ops) Robert Peede Jr. (Met with Trump on Jan 4 to plan rally) Kimberly Guilfoyle If this was truly just a partisan witch hunt, any of these people could accept the invitation to testify and blow up the entire narrative of the Jan 6th committee. But most of them are fighting as hard as they can to avoid testifying under oath for some reason...

Rick Scott don't like the IRS? Imagine that!

Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who chairs the NRSC, has been attacked by Republicans for featuring himself in ads and releasing a policy agenda that caused trouble for the GOP, leading to quips that “NRSC” stands for “National Rick Scott Committee.” NRSC funds had reportedly reached $173 million this election cycle but were already down to $28.4 million by the end of June. The committee spent more than $12 million on American Express credit card payments with an unclear purpose, along with $13 million for consultants and $9 million on debt payments, the Post said.

What has Rick Scott done with the RNC's money? Ha ha, the Republicans put another criminal in charge of there money!! Ha ha

Trump nominated Scott Pruitt to head the EPA - and the typical commies lost their ***t because an agency under their thumb was going to have new management. You have to believe in the right science to head certain agencies. You have to acknowledge a certain number of genders to head them. Unable to define a woman? Straight to the SCOTUS. Less Federal Government is always the answer. You can recycle and ban all the plastic grocery bags you want in New York or California. Fumble all your groceries out of the store.

Abortion, racism, eugenics: Charles Payne and Sen. Tim Scott say the quiet part out loud by Monica Showalter https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/05/abortion_racism_eugenics_charles_payne_and_sen_tim_scott_say_the_quiet_part_out_loud.html

Thank you Senator. Tim Scott Gives Knock out Response to Biden's Treasury Secretary for Saying Abortion Helps the Job Market During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Scott was questioning Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who was in the midst of testifying on Tuesday about how abortion is beneficial to the economy. “Just for clarity’s sake, did you say that ending the life of a child is good for the labor force participation rate?” Scott asked. Yellen gave the typical drivel about how women could better serve the economy by being able to abort pregnancies at will, making it easier to navigate the job market and live their best life. She noted that financial security was a big part of satisfaction and that children throw a wrench into the gears. “And one aspect of a satisfying life is being able to feel that you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the world are wanted, and that you have the ability to take care of them,” she said. Among those getting abortions are teenagers and women in poverty, specifically those in black communities. “It deprives them of the ability to continue their education to later participate in the workforce,” said Yellen. “So, there is spillover into labor force participation, and it means the children will grow up in poverty and do worse themselves.” At that point, Scott had to cut her off. “I’ll just simply say that as a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I am thankful to be here as a United States senator,” said Scott. https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2022/05/11/tim-scott-gives-knock-out-response-to-bidens-treasury-secretary-for-saying-abortion-helps-the-job-market-n562908

Biden Administration Seeks to Subordinate U.S. Healthcare Crisis Management to the WHO By Scott Powell The Biden administration’s government against the people is visibly self-evident in burdens placed on American citizens from the open southern border, the high cost of fuel from the willful shutting down of domestic energy production, the disgraceful and hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan that unnecessarily cost American lives and surrendered some $80 billion in U.S. military equipment, and out-of-control federal deficit spending, debt growth and economic mismanagement resulting in high inflation and heightened risk of a U.S. dollar collapse. Now the Biden regime has facilitated the next critical stage toward the ‘Great Reset’ to be potentially consummated May 22-28, 2022. That is when the 75th World Health Assembly led by the World Health Organization (WHO) will be convening in Geneva, to vote on amendments formulated by the Biden Administration that would transfer the sovereignty of key functions of America’s health care administration to the WHO. These proposed amendments were developed by Biden administration officials during the first year in office, and they were quietly sent to the WHO on January 18, 2022, without an official statement or a single press conference. Very few are even aware of these critical developments. And now in a few days they will be voted on. Should these amendments get adopted they would empower the WHO to unilaterally intervene in the affairs of any nation, including the U.S., that is merely suspected of having a “health emergency” of concern to other nations. The Biden amendments eliminate the prior restrictive language in place from the inception of the WHO in 1948 that specifically limited the U.N. agency’s role to a consultative one and required consent from each individual state to allow intervention or adoption of outside recommendations. An increasing awareness among the public about the World Economic Form agenda has prompted concern that elites are anticipating and may even be planning the next pandemic to advance their globalist agenda. And it should be noted that the WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus along with many other heads of U.N. agencies are prominent participants in the World Economic Forum. If these amendments are approved, the WHO would have the power to declare an “international health emergency,” nullifying the sovereign powers of nation states, which is a key objective of the World Economic Forum. The WHO could then declare health emergencies at will and impose mandates that could justify ostracism of some countries or impose financial and economic restrictions—like lockdowns and business closures—on any country with an alleged public health problem. https://townhall.com/columnists/scottpowell/2022/05/19/draft-n2607474

Let me see if I can find some sources...👍 Here is what Wikipedia has to say about it...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Treaty_on_Pandemic_Prevention,_Preparedness_and_Response Here is another article about it...https://thecountersignal.com/governments-commit-to-who-pandemic-treaty/ Here’s an interesting tweet from Senator Rick Scott about the treaty...

That deep rooted supremacy underpinning Democrat elitism always shows itself when the ‘wrong’ party runs a person of color. It’s fascinating really. see also: Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Candice Owens, micheal steele, Ben Carson, Tim Scott etc

Where on earth did you get that from? I never said anything of the sort. Condi Rice is a life long Republican and a conservative, particularly of the old Cold Warrior sort - a sort that is going to come back into style thanks to Putin. Extremely smart and multi-talented, perhaps showing some bad judgement on Iraq, but that's kind of a common theme of most politicians who were there when it happened. Ben Carson has also spent at least his adult life as a conservative, which has nothing to do with his race. Clarence Thomas too. Tim Scott too. Some are extremely smart. Some not so much. Some have shown remarkably sound judgement on matters of public policy. Some not at all. Just like all people. The point I was rebutting was something about how "the libs" won't allow for a black person to be conservative. I said that point was nonsense, and clearly refuted by the very people cited to "prove" it.

Condi Rice was a Republican. She ran afoul of the Republican establishment based on her position on abortion. Her association with Bush 43 and his Iraq war killed any chance she had for a political future after the ascendancy of the Trump nativist wing. It had nothing to do with "Democrat elitism." Fellow Republicans ostracized her. Tim Scott? We'll see what the reaction is if he runs for President or is someone's VP pick. But right now I'm not aware of anything like you suggest regarding him Clarence Thomas? I'll grant you that re: his early years on the Court, although his nutcase wife is now a whole different thing. Ben Carson? I don't think he was treated any differently than any other wealthy outsider trying to run for President, including such forgotten luminaries as Democrat Tom Steyer. Or Trump for that matter. Candice Owens? Really? First you have to show me why I should take her seriously. Michael Steele? He gets a lot of airtime on MSNBC from what I've seen ... Oh, and Herschel Walker? A serial fabulist who is about to kill his party's chances in November.

Phillies' Realmuto: I won't let 'Canada tell me what I do and don't put in my body' Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto said he won't let Canada's restrictions on unvaccinated travelers change his stance on the COVID-19 vaccine. "I'm a healthy 31-year-old professional athlete," Realmuto said Monday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber. "I'm not going to let Canada tell me what I do and don't put in my body." Realmuto, who won't play against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday after being placed on the restricted list, called the vaccination issue an "extremely unfortunate situation." The three-time All-Star added that he consulted doctors before deciding not to get the shot. Realmuto will forfeit close to $260,000, which he called "a little bit of money," by not playing in Toronto, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. "It's just not worth it," the 31-year-old said. Realmuto signed a five-year, $115.5-million contract with the Phillies in January 2021. Alec Bohm, Aaron Nola, and Kyle Gibson will also miss the series after landing on the restricted list. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2384627 Just say....."I'm trying to protect and save democracy." "Guns shouldn't have more rights them me." Hit all the key buzzwords or talking points the libs are constantly repeating.

There is no space we need to be sharing with these people. They are insane. Clinically insane. The latest U.S. seven-day average of 118,323 new infections per day dropped 44% from a week ago, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Recognizing that improving case count situation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday it wants to give people a break from mask-wearing. The CDC is reviewing the agency's guidance, focusing on Covid hospitalizations, which are also on the decline, as a key metric for deciding on safety protocols. On CNBC earlier this month, Gottlieb called for the CDC to change its mask guidance, arguing it was time for schools to consider dumping mandates when considering the high levels of immunity the general U.S. population. He warned that prolonging the wait could result in a missed opportunity at normalcy before students go on summer break. When it comes to entering public places, however, Gottlieb told CNBC Friday he'll be keeping his mask on to ease others' worries about contracting the virus. "I'll probably continue to wear it a little bit longer than perhaps I need to based on the overall risk, just because I think it's a matter of etiquette," he said. "I think when I go into a store or pharmacy and other people are there who feel uncomfortable, who feel vulnerable, if they see a lot of people around them wearing masks it makes them more comfortable." https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/18/dr-scott-gottlieb-my-kids-wont-wear-covid-masks-in-school-when-mandate-lifts-later-this-month.html There is no coexisting with that.

NOTES ON THE TWITTER FILES (10) By Scott Johnson. FTA: None of Zweig’s revelations comes as a surprise. The work flies under the banner of misinformation/disinformation. Going back to the annus horribilis of 2020, Twitter acted as an arm of American political and public health authorities. Dr. Fauci, he was the science, so to speak. Jumping ahead to the Biden era, Zweig’s column strikes a familiar note: When the Biden administration took over, its agenda for the American people can be summed up as: Be very afraid of Covid and do exactly what we say to stay safe. In July 2021, then-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy released a 22-page advisory concerning what the World Health Organization referred to as an “infodemic,” and called on social media platforms to do more to shut down “misformation.” “We are asking them to step up,” Murthy said. “We can’t wait longer for them to take aggressive action.” That’s the message the White House had already taken directly to Twitter executives in private channels. One of the Biden administration’s first meeting requests was about Covid, with a focus on “anti-vaxxer accounts,” according to a meeting summary by Lauren Culbertson, Twitter’s Head of U.S. Public Policy. Alex Berenson had to go: By the summer of 2021, the day after Murthy’s memo, Biden announced publicly that social media companies were “killing people” by allowing misinformation about vaccines. Just hours later, Twitter locked Berenson out of his account, and then permanently suspended him the next month. Berenson sued Twitter. He ultimately settled with the company, and is now back on the platform. As part of the lawsuit, Twitter was compelled to provide certain internal communications. They revealed that the White House had directly met with Twitter employees and pressured them to take action on Berenson. The summary of meetings by Culbertson, emailed to colleagues in December 2022, adds new evidence of the White House’s pressure campaign, and illustrates how it tried to directly influence what content was allowed on Twitter. It wasn’t just Berenson. Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff had to be suppressed. Dr. Andrew Bostrom had to be suppressed. Opinions out of line with the political and public health authorities had to be suppressed. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/12/notes-on-the-twitter-files-10.php

I’m interested to see if DeSantis is the nominee in 2024 or if he’s just the next Scott Walker. In any case, looks like Trump has fully turned on him. That might hurt him or it might lead to the splitting up of the MAGA base. I’m fine with it either way, I’ll just be here eating popcorn.

Our boy is at it again! Then came the shocker: ”[A]fter the race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Sen. Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win.” Sarah Isgur, a Justice Department spokesperson at the time of the 2018 election, smacked down on Trump’s suggestion. “Never happened,” she tweeted.
