Senator Paul says Dr. Anthony Fauci should 'be immediately fired'

"He's been lying to us since the very beginning," Paul said during an interview on The Water Cooler.

Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci has repeatedly lied and should be fired.

Paul said on Just the News' "Water Cooler" show that Fauci lied to Congress when he said the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"He oughta be immediately fired," said Paul, who has repeatedly clashed with Fauci over numerous COVID-19 issues. "He's been lying to us since the very beginning. He first said no masks work, which wasn't true. Then he said all masks work and that wasn't true either. The N95 masks work, the rest of them don't. But he's been dishonest from the very beginning."

The Kentucky Republican Paul also said Fauci has lied "so-called with good intentions, noble lies, but he has been dishonest and he should be dismissed."

Trump Protesters Encircle Michigan GOP HQ, Demand Resignation of NeverTrump Executive Director Jason Roe

Trump Republicans protested at the Michigan Republican Party’s headquarters in Lansing, Michigan today. They were upset that the Executive Director of the State Party, Jason Roe, has made repeated dismissive and NeverTrump statements to groups and candidates and were hoping to get the attention of the new Party Chairman to fire Roe.

This past month Roe was at a Michigan political event where he got into arguments with several Republican activists and candidates for office about the Trump legacy and about allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Roe told conservatives they were idiots for supporting Trump, idiots for believing in voter fraud, and that the only way forward was by supporting moderate Republican candidates such as the many he has worked for in the past, including moderate California Bush-ally James Rogan, who lost his re-election to notorious Adam Schiff.

Michigan Republicans fired former State Chair Laura Cox, who mismanaged the 2020 elections in the battleground state and also failed to do anything serious to protect the integrity of the vote. Activists were forced to show up and fight at the TCF Center in Detroit when the ongoing voter fraud became apparent, the Michigan Republican state party was largely absent.

Cox was replaced with Ron Weiser, a real estate billionaire Trump fundraiser and ‘bundler’ who is a political moderate, but who promised to promote conservatives. Weiser ran with Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, who is a pro-Trump conservative, to offset the moderate image.

Mellissa Carone, the Dominion whistleblower who came forward as a fearless champion against voter fraud and is now a candidate for office, was at the protest and demanded the Michigan Republican Party “clean house.”

“Jason Roe is not right for Michigan,” Carone said.

“Imagine if someone applied to work for the state party in 2009 and said they hated George W Bush, hated everyone who voted for him, and wanted to work to undermine everything he did,” Carone continued. “If you were foolish enough to still hire someone like Jason Roe for the party, you would at least tell him to never speak in a group and openly disrespect activists and candidates.”

Arizona Rep. Mark Finchem Op-Ed: The Left Is So Convinced Biden Won the 2020 Election They Are Fighting Against a Forensic Audit in AZ

The display of PTDS —Persistent Trump Derangement Syndrome— in the national news filter is the most obvious sign of the ongoing attempt of the Marxist community to tell people that their vote matters, all the while telling those same people to sit down and shut up.

As the Arizona Senate forensic audit progresses with their mission to prove or disprove that there was either fraud or incompetence in the election just passed, promotors of propaganda like Joe Scarborough and Vanity Fair’s Eric Lutz recite the same threadbare narrative hoping that someone will believe the tripe that they serve up. What these mouthpieces of the unitary communist movement can’t seem to grasp is that the majority of Americans want to see verification and validation of an election surrounded with controversy. In a world where confidence in our institutions seems to have melted away like butter in the hot sun, individuals willing to stand up for the right of the PEOPLE to scrutinize their elections must be a part of the process. Secretaries of State are there to ensure your voting rights are protected, and that includes maintenance of the process.

The increasingly marginalized media refuses to acknowledge facts already provide evidence that something went wrong. They will tell you the claims are baseless, but they are a matter of court record [Antrim County]. In the world of systems analysis known by monikers including Process Excellence, Six Sigma, and LEAN, process engineers are diligent about answering process-oriented questions. Since the media cannot win the argument on facts, they rely on the worn-out tactic of “killing the messenger” by way of marginalization.

Secretaries of State in the various states play a significant role in making sure that elections are free and fair. But not all of those currently in office have the PEOPLES’ interests foremost in their minds. Arizona Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs for example, is on the record taking a position that she hopes to tighten laws to ensure this [the right to audit our election results] doesn’t happen again. On MSNBC she recently stated, she has been communicating with several Secretaries of State, Governors and Attorney Generals, “who are very closely watching what’s happening in Arizona to try to make sure it doesn’t happen in their states.”

Aside from the obvious hatred of the Legislature’s role to engage in oversight of elections, it seems the BIG LIE left loves the darkness and hates the light. While the radical leftist media complex obsesses over their BIG LIE, “this was the safest and most secure election ever” narrative, and their conspiracy theories about the events that ensued after November 3rd, 2020, they ignore the words of their own heroes.

Company Involved in Maricopa County Ballot Audit Departs After Contract Expired: Audit Spokesman

A technology company that assisted in the Maricopa County, Arizona, ballot audit has departed, although state Senate President Karen Fann said the firm completed its obligations under their contract. Officials said a new tech company based in Arizona has now taken up the responsibilities.

The contract with Wake Technology Services Inc. (Wake TSI), a company based in Pennsylvania, ended May 14, the original completion date for the hand count. The firm chose not to renew the contract, said Andy Pullen, an audit spokesperson and former Arizona GOP chairman, told The Arizona Republic.

“They were done,” he said of Wake TSI, without elaborating. “They didn’t want to come back.”

Several days ago, reports said that Wake TSI previously carried out an audit in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, at the request of Republican state Sens. Doug Mastriano and Judy Ward. The lawmakers had asked county officials to allow Wake to conduct the rural Pennsylvania county’s audit, according to Ward, who told the Arizona Mirror that she passed their request to county officials on Mastriano’s behalf. Mastriano notably was heavily involved in November 2020 in pushing the state Legislature to make a bid to overturn Pennsylvania’s election certification in favor of former President Donald Trump.

Pullen added that Scottsdale, Arizona-based company StratTech Solutions has taken over Wake TSI’s hand count process and is using Wake TSI’s procedures.

Fann, a Republican, suggested that the move was routine and said the firm completed its obligations under its contract with the state.

“They finished up with their contract, so they don’t need to be there anymore,” she said, according the Republic.

The GOP-led state Senate’s liaison for the audit, Ken Bennett, said earlier this month that Wake TSI “probably [has] two to 300 people that are under their employ or volunteers.” Pullen responded to Bennett’s statement on Tuesday and said that many of the same people will work under StratTech Solutions, according to the paper.

Wake TSI, StratTech Solutions, Fann’s office, and Bennett’s team did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The news about Wake TSI’s departure came as workers in Maricopa resumed their audit of 2.1 million ballots that were cast in the county during the Nov. 3, 2020, election. Approximately 500,000 ballots from the nearly 2.1 million cast in Maricopa County in the presidential election have been reviewed by the audit team, which was hired by the state Senate.

The Arizona Senate has control of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix through June 30 to complete the audit, according to an agreement obtained by The Epoch Times.

“We have a lot more tables and people that they trained during the one week off, and so we think the throughput is going to pick up significantly,” Bennett had told The Epoch Times. “We have the colosseum this last week of May and all of June, so we’re confident that we can get it done during that time.”

Fauci Headlined Panel With Wuhan Lab ‘Gain Of Function’ Adviser.

Dr. Anthony Fauci – who has denied collaboration between his federal agency and the Wuhan Institute of Virology – spoke at an event alongside the researcher advising the controversial lab on “gain of function” research, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director spoke at the American Association of Immunologist’s May 2021 event, Virtual Immunology, alongside Professor Linda Saif. Despite Fauci’s attempts to distance NIAID funds from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, his affiliation with Saif adds to a long list of evidence proving otherwise.

Saif was invited as a special guest to speak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2017 at the “2nd China-U.S. Workshop on the Challenges of Emerging Infections, Laboratory Safety and Global Health Security.” According to the Wuhan lab’s summary of the conference, it hosted five academic sessions, the first of which was “gain of function research, gene editing, targeting and delivery and other novel biotechnology.”

Saif and Fauci’s panel – COVID-19 and the Science of Pandemics—Lessons Learned – also follows a long history of NIAID funding Saif’s research since 1985. She has received a total of 56 grants from the National Institutes of Health, 43 of which came from Fauci’s NIAID.

The unearthing of the panel follows a heated exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Fauci, who attempted to distance NIAID from the Wuhan lab.

Beyond establishing a working relationship between the NIH and the Wuhan Institue of Virology, now-deleted posts from the site also detail studies bearing the hallmarks of gain-of-function research conducted with the Wuhan-based lab. Fauci, however, asserted to Senator Paul that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Hollywood Panic: ‘F9’ Star John Cena Could Have Cost NBCUniversal, WWE Billions Without Apology to China

Hollywood star and WWE champion John Cena has apologized to China for correctly calling Taiwan a “country” during the recent press tour for the movie Fast & Furious 9. His groveling mea culpa highlights the degree to which Cena’s career has become intertwined with Communist China — and how his employers at NBCUniversal and the WWE could have lost billions of dollars if they angered Beijing.

In a video posted to China’s Weibo, John Cena acknowledged that he recently made a “mistake.” Though he didn’t elaborate, Cena appeared to be referring to a recent interview with a Taiwanese TV network during which he reportedly said Taiwan is “the first country to watch the movie.”

His remark set off a wave of social media criticism in China, with some fans demanding the actor acknowledge that Taiwan belongs to China.

Cena delivered his apology in Mandarin, which he has learned as part of the WWE’s efforts to expand into China.

“I made one mistake. I have to say something very, very, very important now,” Cena said in the Weibo video, “I love and respect China and Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologize, I apologize, I’m very sorry. You must understand that I really love, really respect China and the Chinese people. My apologies.”

Universal had a vested interest in Cena’s apology. His act of contrition appears like a necessary PR move to protect one of the studio’s most valuable movie franchises. Fast & Furious movies have consistently grossed more money in China than any other country, including the U.S.

The last F&F movie — Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, released in 2019 — derived more than 26 percent of its worldwide box office gross from China, compared to 22 percent from the U.S. The Fate of the Furious (2017) garnered 32 percent of its worldwide gross of more than $1 billion from China, versus just 18 percent from the U.S.

China recently surpassed the U.S. to become the largest movie market in the world — an accomplishment made possible in part by the coronavirus pandemic, which forced the closure of U.S. cinemas for several months.

Since China limits the number of foreign movies that play domestically, Hollywood studios have gone to great lengths to stay in Beijing’s good graces. Paramount removed a reference to Taiwan in its upcoming Top Gun sequel, while Disney changed a Tibetan character to a white woman in Doctor Strange.

Disney has also refused to comment on China’s human rights violations in the western province of Xinjiang, where the studio partnered with local authorities to shoot parts of its live-action Mulan.
