Great video, but I'm not sure how to grab it. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate Representative Jordan continuing to fight and tell the American people the truth. Thank you.
If I set the line at 2.5 boosters needed by people this year for 'reasonable protection' are anons taking the over or under?

Global Economy Heading For "Mother Of All" Supply Chain Shocks As China Locks Down Ports
Over the past month, as Wall Street turned increasingly optimistic on US growth alongside the Fed, with consensus (shaped by the Fed's leaks and jawboning) now virtually certain of a March rate hike, we have been repeatedly warning that after a huge policy error in 2021 when the Fed erroneously said that inflation is "transitory" (it wasn't), the central bank is on pace to make another just as big policy mistake in 2022 by hiking as many as 4 times and also running off its massive balance sheet… right into a global growth slowdown.
The Fed is going from one huge error (inflation is transitory) to another huge error (4 rate hikes and runoff won't crash markets).

And, as we have also discussed in recent weeks, one place where this growth slowdown is emerging - besides the upcoming deterioration in US consumption where spending is now being funded to record rates by credit cards before it encounters a troubling air pocket - is China and its "covid-zero" policy in general, and its covid-locked down ports in particular.
But what until recently was a minority view confined to our modest website, has since expanded and as Bloomberg writes overnight, the effects of restrictions in China as the country maintains its Covid-zero policy "are starting to hit supply chains in the region." As a result of the slow movement of goods through some of the country’s busiest and most important ports means shippers are now diverting to Shanghai, causing the types of knock-on delays at the world’s biggest container port that led to massive congestion bottlnecks last summer that eventually translated into a record number of container ships waiting off the coast of California, a glut that hasn't been cleared to this day.

US Embassy In Baghdad "Attacked By Terrorist" In Rocket Barrage
Thursday, Jan 13, 2022 - 01:33 PM
Update (1333ET): Bloomberg reports the US embassy in Baghdad was hit with rockets. Details about the incident are scant at the moment.
The US Embassy Baghdad's official Twitter account said the compound "was attacked this evening by terrorist groups attempting to undermine Iraq's security, sovereignty and international relations.
"We have long said that these sorts of reprehensible attacks are an assault not just on diplomatic facilities, but on the sovereignty of Iraq itself."
Forces at the US embassy in Baghdad are attempting to intercept what could be rockets or suicide drones with radar-controlled rapid-fire guns, according to the BBC's Nafiseh Kohnavard.
Multiple videos surfaced on Twitter around 1200 ET, one by Kohnavard of Counter rocket, artillery, and mortar (CRAM) weapons activated and firing large bursts into the night sky to combat incoming rockets and or suicide drones in the air before they hit the embassy.

NewsNation Poll: Voters’ trust in Biden, health officials eroding
Posted: Jan 13, 2022 / 04:00 AM CST | Updated: Jan 13, 2022 / 11:18 AM CST
(NewsNation Now) — President Joe Biden will address an American public Thursday that dislikes how he’s handled the pandemic, deeply distrusts him and his top health advisers and in its own way is moving on; they now think inflation is a bigger problem than COVID-19, according to new research by NewsNation.
This NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll of 1,000 registered voters, completed this week by Decision Desk HQ, also revealed this: More than half of the country thinks the pandemic will never end.
“What’s going on there is called COVID fatigue,” said Robert L. Murphy, a professor of infectious diseases at Northwestern University and the executive director of the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health. Murphy did not help with the NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll, but reviewed its findings in advance for this article.
“People are just tired of COVID,” Murphy said. “They’re tired of living with it. They’re tired of the restrictions, they are tired of the problems, and they’re just basically numb to the idea of COVID. Many people have just turned it off.”
Scott Tranter, an adviser for Decision Desk HQ, said its poll suggests, “The population does not have a positive outlook on COVID (or) the economy and it appears they blame Joe Biden.”
Still, many Americans remain very worried about COVID-19. Nearly 80 percent said the virus concerns them and 78 percent worry about new variants, according to the NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll.
But even as Biden plans Thursday morning to discuss his administration’s response to the COVID-19 surge, he faces a very skeptical and frustrated public, according to the NewsNation research:
Five takeaways from NewsNation’s COVID-19 survey
Nearly 55 percent of respondents disapprove of the president’s handling of the pandemic, while 45 percent approve.
Almost 52 percent of voters think the pandemic will never end, while 41 percent believe it will end in six months to a year. Seven percent think the pandemic is already over.
Americans are more concerned about inflation than COVID-19: 45 percent to 41 percent, respectively.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Slams Fellow Democrats’ Campaign To Nuke Filibuster ‘Guardrail’
Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona said that while she plans to vote for Democrats’ legislation designed to initiate a national takeover of U.S. elections, she does not support abolishing the filibuster to accomplish that power-grab.
“There’s no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals in federal policy. … It is the view I continue to hold,” Sinema told her congressional colleagues from the Senate floor on Thursday.
In her speech, Sinema said she felt “disappointment” that Republicans have not conceded ground in the Democrats’ attempts to weaponize the weaknesses of the 2020 election for their gain but noted that nuking the filibuster does not help anyone in the future.
“What is the legislative filibuster, other than a tool that requires new federal policy to be broadly supported by senators representing a broader cross-section of Americans, a guardrail inevitably viewed as an obstacle by whoever holds the Senate majority, but which in reality, ensures that millions of Americans represented by the minority party have a voice,” Sinema said.
While the Democrat repeated leftist talking points about former President Donald Trump, lied about election integrity, and used “disinformation” and Jan. 6 as examples to justify her support for the Freedom To Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, she also stated that getting rid of the process that protects minority voices in the upper chamber will not accomplish what Democrats want.
