Left Launches Effort to Win Midterms by Disqualifying Republicans for ‘Insurrection’

Some Democrats are using the anniversary of last year’s Capitol riot on January 6 to launch an effort to win the 2022 midterm elections by disqualifying Republicans who supported the effort to challenge the 2020 elections results as “insurrectionists.”

The effort, spearheaded by Russia hoaxer Marc Elias, aims to use a provision of the post-Civil War 14th Amendment that was crafted to disqualify former Confederates or anyone who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” from holding federal office. Elias has pushed the effort for months:

Elias is the main election lawyer for the Democratic Party nationwide and has worked closely with national party leaders.

Liberal groups — one even calling itself “Free Speech For People” — are following suit. In a press statement Wednesday, they said:

Nonprofit public interest organizations Free Speech For People and Our Revolution today announced a partnership to urge Secretaries of State to bar elected officials who engaged in the January 6, 2021 insurrection from appearing on any future ballot.

…

“Secretaries of State have a duty to ensure that candidates who seek to appear on their state ballots meet the constitutional qualifications for serving in public office,” says Alexandra Flores-Quilty, Campaign Director for Free Speech For People, “Those who violated their oath of office by engaging in the violent January 6th insurrection do not meet these terms. Thus, we are urging election officials to make clear that insurrectionists such as President Trump and his Congressional allies are barred from ever again holding public office, as is required under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.”

“On many levels, our democracy is under threat, and grassroots activists are ready to stand up to defend it,” said Paco Fabián, Director of Campaigns for Our Revolution. “We need to demand that our election officers follow the rule of law and ensure that current and former elected officials who participated in the January 6th insurrection are barred from appearing on any future ballot.”

Anyone who assisted President Donald Trump’s team in encouraging challenges to the election results in Congress is defined as “participating” in the insurrection, according to the coalition, which cites a Rolling Stone report as its source, and names several incumbent Republican members of Congress whom it would disqualify for doubting the 2020 election results.

Some Democrats have already begun demanding the disqualification of Republicans who merely signed legal briefs supporting election challenges in the courts. As liberal constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who opposes the disqualification effort, noted recently, the U.S. vehemently opposes such efforts in other countries, such as Iran.

Moreover, as has been shown repeatedly, many Democrats have objected to the certification of election results in the past, and Elias himself led the Democrats’ effort to plant the idea that Trump’s election in 2016 was illegitimate because of “Russia collusion.”

According to the Democrats’ new standard, many of their own — including President Joe Biden — would be disqualified.

Canada agrees to ‘historic reparations’ for 200,000 indigenous children

Billions of dollars will be paid in compensation to the victims of ‘discriminatory’ First Nations child welfare system

The Canadian government has reached a “milestone” $31-billion settlement to compensate indigenous children and families harmed by the “discriminatory underfunding” of the child welfare system on First Nations reservations.

Two in-principle agreements – relating to compensation for more than 200,000 affected children dating back to 1991, and to future reform of the system – represent the “largest settlement in Canadian history,” Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller said on Tuesday.

Noting that “historic injustices require historic reparations,” Miller said that “no amount of money can reverse the harms experienced” and described the deals as an acknowledgement that successive governments had failed indigenous children.

Once finalized, the settlement will conclude a long-running legal battle, which began in 2007 with a complaint by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT). In 2016, the tribunal ruled that Ottawa had underfunded services for First Nations children relative to those for non-indigenous children.

Horowitz: Manhattan DA to downgrade armed robbery to misdemeanor amid growing crime wave

Last year, New York City experienced its worst crime wave in recent memory. Naturally, the response of the Soros DA in Manhattan was to make a New Year’s resolution to keep even more criminals out of jail.

As the NYPD is patrolling businesses to enforce “vaccine passport” mandates and drag 5-year-olds out of restaurants, don’t think that real criminals will get the same attention from law enforcement. Alvin Bragg, the newly elected Manhattan district attorney, sent out a memo to his staff on Monday directing prosecutors to not seek prison time for most criminals.

“This rule may be excepted only in extraordinary circumstances based on a holistic analysis of the facts, criminal history, victim’s input (particularly in cases of violence or trauma), and any other information available,” wrote Bragg in the memo obtained by the New York Post.

So, this is just for low-level crimes, right? Wrong! Bragg ordered prosecutors to charge armed robbers with petty larceny, which would have the effect of downgrading the maximum prison time from 25 years to one year. He also abolished life in prison without parole, even for the worst murderers and sex offenders. He further seeks to dramatically downgrade charges for certain residential burglars, drug dealers, and convicted criminals caught with weapons.

In other words, he is stepping on the gas pedal of every policy that has turned around the Giuliani miracle and has made many parts of Manhattan, including the subways, dangerous for the first time in a generation. This decision comes at a time when crimes of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto in New York rose above 100,000 incidents for the first time since 2016. According to NYPD data, felony assaults rose nearly 10% in 2021 – to the highest level since 2001. Car thefts were at the highest level since 2010, and incidents of gun violence were up 101% since 2019.

Many of these people who steal or maim on the streets in broad daylight that we have seen all too often in viral videos put out by the NYPD are mentally ill or homeless. Yet Bragg’s memo intimidates assistant district attorneys into not pursuing those criminals. “ADA’s should use their judgment and experience to evaluate the person arrested, and identify people: who suffer from mental illness; who are unhoused; who commit crimes of poverty; or who suffer from substance use disorders,” wrote Bragg. In other words, they shouldn’t prosecute them.

BUSTED: National Geographic Published Book Falsely Claiming Kyle Rittenhouse Killed Two Black Men

National Geographic published a book about ancient Egypt that mentioned Kyle Rittenhouse, and wildly mischaracterized the self defense shooting he was involved in nearly two years ago.

In the book “The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World” by Kara Cooney, published by National Geographic, the author falsely claims that Rittenhouse killed “two Black men” in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Rittenhouse never stood accused of murdering two black men, or one black man.

All of the men he shot in self defense had white skin.

Regardless, Cooney wrote:

“Or consider 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who used his semiautomatic weapon to kill two Black men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while waging a glorious race war on behalf of his inherited White power.”

“That’s not to mention the White people who rallied behind him to post his bail. Fear has gripped the patriarchy, and the threat of righteous violence—or the lethal use of it—is the patriarchy’s response.”

National File obtained a digital copy of the book and verified the claim exists in the text.

The claim is in the last chapter of the book, which is titled “Smashing The Patriarchy.”

This remark was written in the context of how ancient Egyptian authoritarian power structures are still seen in the 21st century.

It seems likely that National Geographic published Cooney because of her status as an academic. She is an Egyptology Professor at UCLA.

NBC Tells Parents to Double Mask Their Kids, Use N95 So 'Not A Lot of Air' Gets In

An NBC correspondent told Today Show viewers and hosts to double mask their kids before sending them to school if they can’t find the more heavy duty N95 mask in children’s sizes, so that “not a lot of air” gets through to their faces.

The instructions came from NBC journalist Vicky Nguyen, not a medical doctor, who appeared on the Today Show for a segment on renewed mask use and mandates as NBC and other corporate media outlets use their coverage to ramp up fears of COVID and its omicron variant, a mild version of the virus that persists in heavily vaccinated populations.

Despite massive amounts of medical research indicating mask mandates have likely been counter productive and developmentally damaging for children, Nguyen recommended that all Americans, especially children, wear as tight a fitting as possible or double up if heavy duty N and KN 95 masks are not available.

“They go all the way over your head,” Nguyen said of the heavy duty masks. “Not the most comfortable but very very snug. Not a lot of air is getting in between the sides of my cheeks or the tops of my cheeks.”

When asked to elaborate on masking guidelines for children, Nguyen doubled down on her tight-fitting mask advice, telling parents to use children’s sized N95 masks or to double up with a surgical and cloth mask if children’s sizes aren’t available, saying that she even outfits her own kids in two masks, making sure they stay on their faces all day long.

“Okay so we talked to [NBC’s] Dr. John Torres about this because I actually just sent my kids out the door this morning, minutes ago, with two masks,” Nguyen said.

“[Dr. Torres] says obviously the KN95 and N95 are the most effective but It can be really hard to find them in small kids sizes and also to keep them on your kids all day – they’re not the most comfortable.”

“So the second best option is to make sure you have a kids’ size surgical mask,” she continued, before telling parents to place the surgical mask on their child’s face before adding an additional layer of a cloth mask.

“So the surgical mask goes on first and then the cloth mask,” Nguyen said, going on to further convolute her instructions saying that if a second mask isn’t available, just one is fine too.

“If you can’t do that, surgical mask alone,” Nguyen said. “Dr. Torres says least best, but better than nothing, the two-layer cotton mask that fits your child. The best mask, certainly, is the one that your child will wear and keep on the whole day when they’re in the classroom.”

NBC seemed to think so much of the air restricting advice that they posted an article to their website following Nguyen’s Today Show appearance, containing a video recording of the segment and boasting that “experts” had weighed in on the matter.

Mayo Clinic Terminates 700 Unvaccinated Employees at Locations Nationwide

Mayo Clinic fired 700 employees on Tuesday because they were not vaccinated by its Monday deadline.

Employees had until Monday to receive their first dose of coronavirus vaccine if they were not granted a religious or medical exemption, according to the Star Tribune. The organization says it greenlit the majority of exemption applications.

Mayo Clinic employs about 73,000 people, so roughly one percent of its workforce was terminated Tuesday, according to CBS Minnesota.

Actions News Jax reports that the organization fired employees at locations nationwide.

Mayo Clinic released a statement, per KIMT, which reads in part:

While Mayo Clinic is saddened to lose valuable employees, we need to take all steps necessary to keep our patients, workforce, visitors and communities safe. If individuals released from employment choose to get vaccinated at a later date, the opportunity exists for them to apply and return to Mayo Clinic for future job openings.

The outlet spoke with Jessica Moore-Wright, who had worked for the organization for 14 years before losing her job on Tuesday.

“I believe in science and I also believe in a personal choice. I mean, I’ve had friends who have had cancer,” Wright-Moore said. “I’ve had friends that have had different viruses and they would do different things but I would never, ever tell somebody that you need to do this because I did. Ever.”

She says she applied for a religious exemption twice, but Mayo Clinic denied her request both times. Wright-Moore told KIMT that a representative informed her she could have her position back if she becomes inoculated within the next year.

She plans to stand by her decision.

“To be able to stand up for something you believe in is important,” she told the outlet. “I do think that every decision we make is important but if you believe in something strongly I don’t believe you should have to cave to keep a job.”

REPORT: Mexican Army Loses 30% of Weapons Purchased from U.S.

Mexico’s military is allegedly working to cover up its loss of weapons purchased from other countries.

Mexico’s Army (SEDENA) is losing approximately 30 percent of weapons purchased from the U.S., a report from Mexican journalist Carlos Loret De Mola revealed. The report comes as Mexico’s federal government litigates against firearm manufacturers in a U.S. court, blaming them for the raging cartel violence.

Those missing weapons are showing up in crime scenes. Mexico’s military has also allegedly misplaced weapons bought from Germany, Australia, Italy, Romania, Spain, and Belgium.

In Mexico, the Army is the only entity that can purchase weapons from other countries. Further, all weapons bought by federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well as private citizens, are sold by SEDENA. Loret De Mola reports that a national center called CENAPI within the Attorney General’s Office keeps track of weapons found in crime scenes or seized from criminal organizations — but because of the lawsuit, they are suppressing information about Mexican Army guns in the hands of cartels. The CENAPI even denied requests for information about those weapons as a way to protect the military as being partly responsible in Mexico’s illicit gun trade.

The new allegations come at a time when Mexico’s military is plagued by scandals. State authorities in Oaxaca arrested a former general who was a candidate for secretary of defense on extortion charges in December.

Also in December, Canadian authorities arrested General Eduardo Leon Trauwitz on an extradition warrant from Mexico over his alleged role in the widespread theft of fuel, CBC reported.

In October 2020, U.S. authorities arrested former Mexican Secretary of Defense Salvador Cienfuegos on drug trafficking charges. Mexico’s government was able to secure his release claiming they would investigate and prosecute, but ultimately dismissed the case.

Rally Against Lockdowns Sees 100,000 Germans Protest, Ruling Party Demands Clampdown

More than 100,000 took to the streets in Germany on Monday night to protest the nation’s lockdown rules, as eastern members of the ruling Free Democratic Party demand a clampdown.

A number of protests have taken place in Germany, with estimates putting the number of anti-lockdown protesters attending events at over 100,000 in total nationwide. According to reports, 50,000 turned out in Baden-Wurtemburg, “tens of thousands” in Saxony, and 17,000 in Thuringia.

While a number of protests took place in the country with the permission of relative authorities, others went ahead despite non-compliance, with thousands attending so-called “unannounced” rallies despite being threatened with fines by police. Monday night ‘strolls’ have a history in Germany reaching back to the Communist era where protesting could be a dangerous occupation but simply going for an evening stroll after work on a Monday gave a level of plausible deniability.

While protests in a number of regions last night remained relatively peaceful, according to a report by Berliner Zeitung, others did experience some levels of violence.

Emergency services in Lichtenstein, Saxony, were attacked, resulting in 14 injuries. One officer reported being bitten.

Meanwhile, rioters in Saxony-Anhalt threw bottles and pyrotechnics at officials, though the police have reported that no officers were injured.

ast German members of the ruling Free Democratic Party (FDP) have expressed a desire for security authorities to clamp down on violent protesters.

A strategy paper by the group’s eastern head, Hagen Reinhold, has called for better coordination between security authorities in dealing with internet bubbles and chats that he claims are used to mobilise people, according to a report by Der Spiegel.

Chris Wray Lied: Secret Service Admits They Knew 13 ‘Counter-Protest’ Groups Were Organizing to Attend Washington DC Jan. 6 Protests

In March 2021 FBI Chief Chris Wray went in front of the US Senate and lied. Wray claimed there was no evidence Antifa members played a role during the January 6th US Capitol protests.

Chris Wray was not being honest.

Chris Wray also said there was no evidence of Antifa members dressed as Trump supporters at the January 6th protests.

This was another lie.

Antifa organizer John Sullivan posted images on Twitter dressed as a Trump supporter before the Jan. 6 protests.

The disparity between how federal prosecutors apply the law to Trump supporters and those associated with Antifa is anything but equal.

It appears government prosecutors have a propensity to drop the charges of those associated with leftist groups like Antifa and overcharge those on the right who support President Trump.

Here is an example:

One Antifa member was caught with a gun and arrested on January 6th on weapons charges. But Leslie Grimes was later released despite lying to officers about the gun in their vehicle.

Via NBC News:

Leslie Grimes and two fellow antifa members drove to Washington from Michigan to counter-demonstrate during the Trump rally. According to one of Grimes’ friends, the group walked around for a while but returned to the car after Grimes was roughed by some Trump supporters.

As the trio were getting into the car, they were surrounded by officers who said someone had reported that they were seen “putting weapons in the trunk,” according to a video of the encounter posted on Facebook.

One of the three denied that there were any weapons in the car, but officers found a handgun in the trunk.

Grimes was taken into custody on a charge of possessing an unlicensed gun after she told the officers the firearm belonged to her. She spent the night in jail, but authorities declined to move forward with charges, according to her attorney.

The friend said he does not understand how police knew there was a gun in the car. “It was in the trunk the whole time,” the friend said. “How would they know? It doesn’t make any sense.

Similarly, two Trump supporters were caught with a gun in their car. But they were not released. The two were arrested after telling officers they had a gun in their car.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported Antifa organizer John Sullivan organized an Antifa rally across from the US Capitol on January 6th an hour before the violence started.

He even promoted the rally on Twitter.

It is clear now that Chris Wray cannot be trusted. He openly pushes falsehoods under oath.

Supreme Court: All nine justices got COVID-19 booster

All nine members of the Supreme Court have received a COVID-19 booster shot, the court said Tuesday, days before the justices hear arguments over President Biden’s vaccine requirements at workplaces.

CNN reported in March that all of the justices had been fully vaccinated, though scientists say a booster is needed to provide robust protection against the omicron variant that is driving a surge in coronavirus cases.

Justices will hear oral arguments Friday in cases that challenge Mr. Biden’s vaccine mandate on certain health workers and his rule requiring companies with 100 or more workers to test unvaccinated employees weekly.

The Supreme Court worked remotely at the start of the pandemic before resuming oral arguments in October.

Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh tested positive for the virus in October, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett recovered from a bout of COVID-19 in 2020, before the vaccine drive began.

CNN : ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Dad Deserves to Have Life RUINED

Dean Obeidallah, a SiriusXM radio host and CNN opinion columnist, has issued a decree that Jared Schmeck deserves to have his life ruined, NewsBusters reported.

Schmeck is the man who called into the NORAD Santa Tracker Live Stream and wished hosts Joe and Jill Biden a “Merry Christmas.” He followed his holiday well wishes with a “Let’s go Brandon!”

To which President Biden responded: “Let’s go Brandon, I agree!”

Obeidallah, whose career is built on woke comedy and matchsticks, took to CNN to rail against Schmeck for using “coded phrases” to curse at the president.

Obeidallah conceded that free speech often dictates criticism towards sitting government officials, but believes that in this specific case, Schmeck’s joke was “despicable.”

He then goes on to say that Schmeck should not have censored himself at all:

“If you want to curse out a sitting POTUS, at least have the courage to do it outright rather than playing politically correct games and hiding behind coded phrases.”

He says this despite his apparent horror that this “coded phrase” was used on a livestream thousands of children were watching.

Finally, Obeidallah mocked Schmeck for defending himself after receiving threatening calls as a result of his phone conversation with Biden:

“Aww, poor ‘victim’ Schmeck,” Obeidallah said. “Apparently, he thinks he should be able to tell Biden to basically go f**k himself while on a family friendly holiday call, but no one should be able to take issue with his actions.”

Obeidallah, a left-wing tele-activist who writes propaganda under the guise of “comedy” and constantly retweets his own tweets, ends the article with a meager attempt at a joke:

“I don’t have any ill wishes towards Jared Schmeck. Instead, I just hope he enjoys Biden’s upcoming second year as president. And oh yeah, I hope no one tells him: “Let’s go Jared!”

If you would like to wish Obeidallah a cheerful “Let’s go Brandon!” please feel free to contact him through his email, Facebook, or Twitter accounts.

REPORTS: SEIZED SCYTL DATA SHOW LANDSLIDE WIN FOR PRES. TRUMP

So Now It Has Been 666 Days Since A Pandemic Was Officially Declared…

Isn’t it funny how certain numbers just seem to come up over and over again? On March 11th, 2020 the World Health Organization officially declared that the COVID-19 outbreak was a global pandemic. According to timeanddate.com, moving forward 666 days brings us to January 5th, 2022. Over the last 666 days, we have seen an extremely alarming rise of authoritarianism all over the globe, and all of our lives have been changed permanently and dramatically. So I think that it is quite appropriate that we commemorate the 666th day of this pandemic, because governments all around the world have certainly been behaving in ways that are unspeakably evil.

And I find it quite interesting that one day after January 5th is the one year anniversary of the dramatic events that played out in Washington D.C. on January 6th, 2021.

How do you think Ray Epps will be celebrating that anniversary?

Of course that is a topic for another article. In this piece, I want to take a look at the current state of the COVID pandemic.

After everything that Dr. Television and his minions have done over the past two years, the COVID pandemic is worse than ever. In fact, it is being reported that America “has set a seven-day-average record for Covid cases every day over the last week”…

The U.S. has set a seven-day-average record for Covid cases every day over the last week, according to an analysis of NBC News’ case numbers and Department of Health and Human Services hospitalization data. In that time, 33 states, Washington, D.C., and two territories have set records for cases, hospitalizations or both.

Interestingly, the Omicron variant is hitting blue states with very high vaccination rates particularly hard. Here are just a couple of examples…

New Jersey set a case record every day in that period, with the average count ballooning from 15,000 cases a day to more than 27,000, while New York’s average number of cases set six records, from 37,000 to a peak of more than 71,000 average cases per day.

But instead of letting recent data change his message, Joe Biden continues to stick with his original narrative…

“You can still get COVID, but it’s highly unlikely that you’ll become seriously ill,’’ Biden said. “If you’re vaccinated and boosted, you are highly protected. Be concerned about omicron, but don’t be alarmed. And if you’re unvaccinated, you have some reasons to be alarmed. You’ll experience severe illness in many cases.’’

Unfortunately for Biden, more Americans than ever have lost faith in his leadership.

In fact, the percentage of Americans that disapprove of his job performance just hit another new high…

Fifty-six percent of voters now say they disapprove of the job Biden is doing, the worst such reading of his presidency as he approaches the end of his first year in office, according to new CNBC/Change Research poll. Prior polls in the series showed Biden’s disapproval rating at 54% in early September and 49% in April.

I think that it would actually do Biden a lot of good if he would be willing to admit that he has made major mistakes during this pandemic.

Israel advancing UN General Assembly resolution aimed at combating Holocaust denial

Envoy confident measure will pass overwhelmingly later this month; it won’t have enforcement mechanism, but Erdan says effects of new international standard will be significant

Israel will bring a resolution aimed at combating Holocaust denial for a vote before the United Nations General Assembly later this month, Ambassador Gilad Erdan announced on Wednesday.

The resolution will provide a specific classification for Holocaust denial, using the working definition put together by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. It will provide actions expected of signatory countries in order to address the phenomenon, and will demand social media networks remove posts that fall under the IHRA definition, Erdan said in a briefing with reporters.

The vote will be held on January 20, the 80th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference organized by the Nazis to coordinate the implementation of Hitler’s Final Solution.

The envoy said the decision to advance the resolution followed a “dramatic rise in antisemitism and Holocaust denial” in recent years, particularly following last year’s Gaza conflict.

Erdan acknowledged that like all GA resolutions, this latest one will not come with an enforcement mechanism. However, he expressed hope that by setting a new “international standard” for what constitutes Holocaust denial and how social media companies are expected to act in response, the resolution will have significant ramifications on the discourse moving forward.

Jerusalem advances thousands of new homes in Jewish areas of East Jerusalem

Over 1,400 new units planned for area between Har Homa and Givat Hamatos, which critics say would block Bethlehem from capital; over 2,000 more homes okayed in French Hill

A Jerusalem municipal planning committee advances 1,465 housing units in East Jerusalem, in an area that left-wing groups say would make establishing a contiguous Palestinian capital in the city far more difficult.

The new neighborhood is being planned for the land between the Jewish neighborhoods of Givat HaMatos and Har Homa, both of which were themselves controversial due to their location.

Left-wing Israeli groups and Palestinians oppose Israeli construction in East Jerusalem, which they hope will one day become the capital of a Palestinian state. Right-wing Israelis, who oppose Palestinian independence, support an “undivided” Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

According to Peace Now, the planned units would “conclusively prevent territorial contiguity between East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhoods and Bethlehem.”

The committee’s approval is merely the first stage in the planning process. The proposal will be formally discussed at the Jerusalem District Planning Committee on January 17, 2022; if it passes there, the plan will go on to the “deposit” stage, at which point it will be far more difficult to suspend.

Another 2,092 housing units are advanced in the Jewish neighborhood of French Hill, which also lies over the Green Line.

China Abuses US Diplomats

“Is this just an opportunity for China to mess with our diplomatic personnel by shaming them or embarrassing them?”

Judicial Watch is front and center in the effort to hold the Biden administration accountable throughout the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Last year, Judicial Watch sued the administration for information on the Chinese government’s reported abuse of U.S. diplomatic personnel. Specifically, Judicial Watch sought documents on the Chinese government’s use of anal swabs COVID-19 tests on U.S. diplomats. As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton states, “is [the use of anal swab testing] just an opportunity for China to mess with our diplomatic personnel by shaming them or embarrassing them?”

This lawsuit forced the release of documents from the State Department that reveal, as Fitton notes, there were concerns in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing about what was going on:

As Fitton comments in the Judicial Watch Weekly Update: it’s disturbing that the Biden administration didn’t seem to do anything about this publicly… Our diplomats were harassed with no pushback…when you realize … that China was … playing games with the United States and international investigators … [and] were targeting their own people to make sure they wouldn’t talk, this is a big issue.”

“Our diplomatic personnel were harassed in a reprehensible way by the Chinese government, and the Biden administration seems to have done little in response – except to cover it up,” Fitton said.

The Biden administration’s “cover up,” Fitton contends, is broadly related to a cover-up of the gain-of-function research carried out by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) prior to the virus’ outbreak. In fact, “as Judicial Watch has uncovered, China was engaged in gain-of-function research thanks to the ‘good offices’ of people like Anthony Fauci and other government agencies who funded it,” Fitton states. “They were very nervous that gain-of-function research resulted in the emergence of COVID.”

Biden Withholds Annual Report on Deportations

ICE fails to produce annual report for first time in more than a decade

The Biden administration has yet to release a report that details the number of illegal immigrants removed from the United States in 2021, keeping the public in the dark about its handling of the immigration crisis.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not release its annual report in 2021, a departure from standard agency practice since at least 2011. In each of the last nine years, ICE released the report in the final weeks of the calendar year, most recently on Dec. 23, 2020 during the Trump administration.

It is unclear whether ICE has completed the report, which provides a lengthy summary of the agency’s enforcement and removal operations, as well as immigration-related security threats. A spokeswoman for the immigration agency told the Washington Free Beacon a release date for the report has not been determined.

The absence of the 2021 annual report has prompted outrage on Capitol Hill. Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) questioned the motives behind the White House's secrecy on the topic of immigration.

"During record-breaking levels of illegal immigration, DHS and ICE have taken steps to dismantle interior enforcement operations that keep our communities safe from criminal aliens," Hawley told the Free Beacon. "I’ve been calling for transparency into these radical policy changes for months. If ICE is intentionally hiding their annual report from the public, then it’s safe to assume it doesn’t show any improvement; it shows failure."

The administration's decision not to release the ICE report marks the latest example of Biden's failure to live up to transparency standards set by both its Democratic and Republican predecessors. The Free Beacon in November reported that the White House violated a congressional statute with its failure to release its report on the number of illegal immigrants in the United States. The 2021 fiscal year saw more recorded illegal border crossings than any time in U.S. history.

This latest evasion comes as just 35 percent of voters approve of Biden's handling of immigration, according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent polls. Critics of the president's immigration policy accused Biden of hiding statistics as a way to avoid bad press.

"It's absolutely shocking that the release of the ICE report hasn't happened," former ICE chief of staff Jon Feere told the Free Beacon. "I assumed, at worst, they'd put it out on New Year’s Eve when nobody is paying attention, but even that didn’t happen."

"I can't imagine the outcry if we had not produced this report under the Trump administration," Feere said.

Much of the information provided in the agency’s annual report goes beyond deportation statistics. The 2020 report, for example, summarized results from operations related to stopping COVID-19 relief fund abuse. In fiscal year 2020, ICE and its law enforcement partners seized more than $18 million linked to pandemic-related fraud and criminal activity.

An individual familiar with the production of the report in past years, who asked not to be directly quoted, speculated that White House dysfunction may be responsible for the delay. The individual said more left-wing members of the Biden administration, such as Domestic Policy Council deputy director for immigration Esther Olavarria, may have disagreed with more "moderate" staff, such as domestic policy adviser Susan Rice, on a strategy for releasing a report that could be seen as unfavorable to Biden.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Treasury Department slaps sanctions on Bosnian leader, citing 'destabilizing corrupt activities'

'The United States will not hesitate to act against those who pursue corruption, destabilization, and division at the expense of their own people,' said Treasury

On Wednesday, the Biden administration announced sanction on Milorad Dodik, a member of Bosnia and Herzegovina's tripartite presidency. The sanctions were imposed due to Dodik's "destabilizing and corrupt activities," in the Western Balkans.

Biden's Treasury Department has accused Dodik of undermining a 1995 peace accord, in addition to facilitating bribery. The Balkan leader will be barred from entering the United States. The department additionally announced sanctions against a media platform, Alternativna Televizija, which it says are under the control of Dodik.

In a statement, Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, Brian Nelson said, "Milorad Dodik’s destabilizing corrupt activities and attempts to dismantle the Dayton Peace Accords, motivated by his own self-interest, threaten the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entire region. The United States will not hesitate to act against those who pursue corruption, destabilization, and division at the expense of their own people, as well as against those who enable and facilitate this behavior."

Dodik has been an advocate for separating the Bosnian Serb entity from the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina – a move that could generate significant conflict in the Balkan nation. He has threatened to create a Serb army separate from the Bosnian military, which would be a clear violation of the 1995 peace agreement that ended thee conflict between Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia.

This is not Dodik's first dance with the Treasury Department, which enacted sanctions on the leader in 2017 for "actively obstructing" the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords.

Scientific Studies prove the Covid-19 Vaccines damage the Immune System, and suggest it may be permanent

Worried about Omicron? Guess what? After 90 days, the vaccine they gave you is going to make you MORE likely to get infected from Omicron, not less. The longer you stay on the vaccine treadmill, the harder to get off in the future and the easier you’ll make it for the virus.

In short, we’ve been lied to about the vaccine. It is protecting you less and less over time. While you may get a benefit for earlier variants, the benefit for other variants (and likely other diseases) is going to be negative. In short, you are getting a short term benefit against Delta, but at the expense of a degradation of your overall immunity to everything else.

These vaccines may help you win the war against a variant that may soon be rare, but the price you pay is that you make your immunity to everything else worse. It’s a dumb tradeoff (especially since early treatments work so well). But the people making the laws won’t believe any of the science referenced in this article, so it will continue.

By Steve Kirsch (Executive Director of Vaccine Safety Research)

Alix Mayer alerted me to this game changing tweet about a study in Denmark which instantly went viral

I want to tell you what this really means and how it is being attacked.

Summary: Refuse to comply with mandates. Now.

This paper means we will need to inject people every 30 days if we want to “protect” them. Based on the harm that the vaccines do to our immune system, it’s likely that the needed interval will shorten with each booster.

If people don’t get boosted as required, they will be MORE vulnerable to Delta and Omicron than if they weren’t vaccinated. That’s what NEGATIVE vaccine efficacy means. It doesn’t mean the protection wears off (like we were told). It means the OPPOSITE of what you were told: it means the vaccines helps the virus to infect you (by suppressing your immune system, probably permanently each time we are injected according to Dr. Ryan Cole). It means we were lied to.

Company Stands Ground Over Claim That Nasal Spray Treats, Prevents COVID-19

A lead researcher in a study that showed the use of an all-natural over-the-counter nasal spray is effective in treating and preventing COVID-19 said the U.S. Department of Justice is covering up the truth with a lawsuit it has filed against the Utah company that makes and promotes the spray as a treatment for the disease.

GETTR Repeatedly Bans America First Streamer for No Reason, Refuses to Explain

America First streamer Nick Fuentes has been repeatedly banned from GETTR, the platform ran by former Trump advisor Jason Miller, for seemingly no reason.

Fuentes, the host of the popular nightly show “America First,” was initially banned from GETTR, a supposed free speech alternative to Twitter, at the end of last month.

Earlier this week, Elijah Schaffer of The Blaze contacted GETTR, who Schaffer says told him Fuentes violated their terms of service, did not note specific violations or what posts contained them.

“My inquiry was extremely professional and predicated on the basis that the public deserves the right to know GETTR’s threshold for banning users, largely in part due to their users joining to avoid the very censorship practices they seem to be implementing,” Schaffer added, saying that the obtuse nature of Fuentes’s banning made him “suspicious” of the platform.

Fuentes attempted to rejoin the platform multiple times on Tuesday evening, but was banned shortly after each time, even as viewers watched on his live stream.

“If I go on there, and they ban me for being me, well what is that? It’s arbitrary, it’s discretionary, and when they ban groyper, that takes it to a different level,” Fuentes said on his stream, referring to previous reports from the Daily Beast and others that GETTR had banned the term “groyper” from their platform, a name used to describe supporters of Fuentes.

The ban would seem to stand in direct contrast to GETTR’s supposed free speech mentality.

In October last year, Miller was asked on Twitter if he would ever cancel anyone “for their political opinions.” Miller proudly responded in the negative, claiming that “cancel culture doesn’t happen at #GETTR!”

==Swedbank ex-CEO Indicted for Financial Crimes =

Swedish prosecutors indicted on Tuesday the former CEO of Swedbank with aggravated swindling for downplaying suspected massive money-laundering through the bank’s operations in the Baltic states.

Birgitte Bonnesen’s lawyer said his client is looking forward to prove her innocence.

”The former CEO deliberately or recklessly, to the public and the bank’s stakeholders, disseminated misleading information about the bank’s efforts to stop, discover, preempt and report suspicious money-laundering in Swedbank’s operations in Estonia,” chief prosecutor Thomas Langrot said in a statement from the Swedish Economic Crime Authority.

The case relates to a scandal that erupted when media revealed major money-laundering through Swedbank’s Baltic branch. The bank’s so-called high-risk clients funneled more than US$40-billion through its Baltic operations between 2014 and 2019, an investigation from law firm Clifford Chance, commissioned by the new Swedbank board, concluded in 2020.

Some clients were Russian oligarchs. Another high-profile, high-risk customer was Ukrainian ex-president Viktor Yanukovych who had been accused of massive corruption. Some money flowing through the bank could be traced to companies allegedly tied to the so-called Magnitsky fraud in Russia. Many clients featured also in the Panama Papers, had well-known proxy directors and were registered offshore. All of this should have raised several red flags.

Bonnesen, a Danish national, said repeatedly in 2018 and 2019, in relation to a similar scandal involving Danske Bank, that between 2007 and 2018, Swedbank did not have money-laundering problems such as those associated with the Danish counterpart.

But Bonnesen’s information was false and ”intended to affect the assessment of the company financially,” causing serious damage to the bank, Langroth said. Because the truth was withheld, the bank’s share later fell sharply after the money-laundering scandal was revealed by investigative reporters at Swedish Television in 2019.

The scandal resulted in the dismissal of both Bonnesen and Swedbank’s board. The shareholders gave the bank the task to clean up its act and in 2019 installed former Prime Minister Göran Persson as new chairman.

The information from the former CEO gave the false impression that Swedbank did not have any problems with money-laundering in Estonia, Langroth argues. But in fact, Bonnesen was aware of non-publicized information about rampant and serious flaws in the bank’s anti-money laundering processes and knew of major suspicious transactions and clients, the prosecutor said.

”There is proof that this was a cover-up,” he said.

Leaked Biden Plan Would House Violent Men In Women’s Prison Cells

President Joe Biden is preparing to give every rapist and molester in federal prison a get-out-of-jail-free card. Specifically, Biden is offering to transfer any and all male criminals to women’s prisons. All the men will have to do is say that they feel like a woman, and the Biden administration will take them at their word.

This policy may be the worst part of a proposed executive order on law enforcement, a draft of which was obtained by The Federalist. Most of the proposal is devoted to, if not defunding the police, at least disarming and disabling them.

But buried toward the end of the extensive planned action to get soft on crime is a small paragraph of anodyne bureaucratic language that orders the U.S. attorney general to “within 30 days of the date of this order, begin the process of identifying any necessary changes to the [Bureau of Prisons] Transgender Offender Manual … to enable BOP to designate individuals to facilities in accordance with their gender identity.”

In short, under this executive order, the federal government will house criminals based on subjective, self-declared “gender identity” rather than biological sex. Male rapists, child molesters, and other sexual criminals will be allowed to live in women’s prisons, and because the transgender ideology embraced by the Biden administration claims gender identity is purely internal, they will be allowed in regardless of whether they still possess fully functional male genitalia.

This move toward co-ed prisons will result in male sexual predators exploiting the system in order to abuse and rape female prisoners. We know this because it has already happened in places these proposals have been enacted.

For example, Caroline Downey of National Review Online recently published a piece detailing alleged rapes and sexual assaults within the Washington state prison system, which has begun housing men in female prisons. The story suggests that such incidents are being covered up, presumably due to prison officials eager to placate their political overlords.

The same problems have arisen in California, which houses male prisoners who claim a female “gender identity” in women’s prisons. In response to reports of rape and abuse, the feminist Women’s Liberation Front, which rejects transgender ideology, has filed a federal lawsuit against the state.

As Brittany Bernstein reports: “Plaintiff Krystal Gonzalez says she was sexually assaulted by a biological male who was transferred to Central California Women’s Facility under the law. According to the suit, when Gonzalez filed a complaint and requested to be housed away from men the prison’s response called her alleged attacker a ‘transgender woman with a penis.’” Perhaps no phrase sums up the current state of liberal ideology as “woman with a penis.”

In the United Kingdom, placing the phallically-endowed in women’s prisons has produced such horrific results that even the leftists at The Guardian admit that some “mistakes were made.” But that has not been enough to stop the trend, and now female prisoners are being threatened with extra time for calling “transgender inmates ‘he’ or ‘him.’”

Now, Joe Biden and his officials are eager to follow these examples. The Democratic Party, along with most of our nation’s ruling class, has embraced transgender ideology and is eager to enforce it. The public, meanwhile, is realizing that what was sold as just being nice as Bruce became Caitlyn extends to transitioning children, allowing men to dominate women’s sports, and now allowing male rapists and murderers to write their own ticket into women’s prisons.

Soviet Canada: Doctor Locked in Psych Ward Who Exposed Stillbirth Explosion in 'Vaccinated' Moms

The Soviet Union often claimed that dissidents had “mental issues” and would lock them up in asylums, keep them drugged, and eventually they would die.

In November, Dr. Melvin Bruchet and his friend, Dr. Daniel Nagase, filed criminal charges against elected and appointed Candian government officials in British Columbia over a possible conflict of interest regarding provincial lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports. The doctors exposed a severe spike in stillbirths at a Vancouver hospital. The women were injected with the experimental Covid “vaccine” in all cases. In December 2021, reminiscent of the Soviet Union’s treatment of dissidents, the Canadian government targeted Dr. Melvin Bruchet and unlawfully placed him in detention against his will.

Stillbirths Explode in Canada

In November 2021, RAIR Foundation USA reported that stillbirths in fully “vaccinated” women are exploding in Canada,

….in Waterloo, Ontario, 86 cases have been reported in six months, compared to typically five to six per year, says doctor Daniel Nagase. “That is highly unusual.”

At Lions Gate Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, 13 stillbirths were recorded over 24 hours, reported the doctor. Until recently, Dr. Nagase worked at an Alberta hospital but said he was fired after treating three covid patients with ivermectin at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre.”

Soviet Style Detention

On December 8, Dr. Bruchet had an argument with a tenant over loud music in his apartment building (a relatively common occurrence). It is unclear whether the tenant reported him as a candidate for the mental health act or someone else. Suddenly, Dr. Bruchet was targeted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

While Dr. Nagase was being interviewed in his home, three RCMP squad cars and six RCMP officers descended on Dr. Bruchet and hauled him off in handcuffs for a “psych evaluation.”

The first diagnosis made by the hospital was “frontal lobe dementia” after taking a PET scan. According to Dr. Nagase, such a situation normally does not warrant detention – just diagnosis and sending the individual home. Since Bruchet is 81, anyone outside the situation might assume that was correct. It was not.

Dr. Nagase was apprised of the situation and managed to get him out of the Psych ward on a day pass with the promise of returning on his own recognizance. Dr. Bruchet returned due to the hospital’s threats they would send the police after him.

The hospital then did a second evaluation and diagnosed him with “mania,” a condition that presumes the person may have outbursts and perhaps even be dangerous. They then took away the doctor’s phone access.

Dr. Nagase was concerned that the hospital might have given him Abilify, a medicine often used to treat mental and mood disorders that should not be given to elderly patients. In addition, the doctor was concerned because Dr. Bruchet was abnormally slurring his words. A common side effect of the powerful anti-psychotic medication.

The Soviet Union notoriously used psychiatric medicine to discredit dissidents. The Soviets often claimed that dissidents had “mental issues” and would lock them up in asylums, keep them drugged, and eventually they would die. How is this any different?

The question remains: was Dr. Bruchet unlawfully detained because he exposed the connection of stillbirths to the Covid vaccines? Or because he argued with his tenant over loud music? Or was Dr. Bruchet’s age a convenient excuse? “Dr. Mel,” as he is affectionately known, practiced medicine for many years in British Columbia.

The following is an exclusive interview with Dr. Sam Dube, a Canadian doctor who informs RAIR of the troubling situation:

MI Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Isolation After Fully Vaccinated Husband Tests Positive for COVID-19

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is in isolation at her Lansing home after her husband tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. The governor’s entire family is fully vaccinated and has received a booster shot.

Whitmer took the rapid test on Tuesday and came back negative but she is still waiting for the PCR result. Until then, she needs to isolate herself.

According to the statement released by the governor’s office, the entire family is fully vaccinated and has received a booster shot. The tyrannical governor is not experiencing symptoms.

Here is the full statement from the Governor’s office:

Today, the first gentleman tested positive for COVID-19 after feeling under the weather. After the positive test, Governor Whitmer took a rapid test, which came back negative, and is awaiting the results of a PCR test out of an abundance of caution. Like so many families around the country, the governor and her husband took extra precautions to limit contact with others to stay safe over the holidays as they celebrated Christmas with their immediate family members in Michigan. Thankfully, the entire family is fully vaccinated and boosted, so the governor has not tested positive and is not experiencing symptoms. Until the PCR test comes back, the governor is isolating in a separate area of the house and has taken steps to complete contact tracing to keep others safe. Governor Whitmer will continue working with top medical experts and health professionals at the state and federal level to increase access to testing, secure additional lifesaving treatments like monoclonal antibodies and new Pfizer pill, and always encourages every Michigander to get vaccinated and wear a secure mask, like an N95. We wish the first gentleman a speedy recovery and hope he feels better soon.
