Fauci: US Covid Lockdowns 'No Mistake'

Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday, Fauci was asked whether, given that lockdown states did no better than non-lockdown states in preventing Covid deaths, the lockdowns were a mistake in retrospect. Fauci answered, "I don't think so." New data is emerging suggesting the lockdowns may have led to more deaths than they saved. What's Fauci's game? Also today, Germany's Merkel backs down from lockdown and Sweden does best on excess mortality.

Beware The Monopolistic Narratives

By Chris Rossini

Imagine walking through the park on a nice sunny day and an unanticipated event occurs. All of a sudden you see in the distance a giant dog racing towards you at full speed. This is not a little toy dog that you can pet should it come up to you. No, if this dog were any bigger, it would be classified as a horse.

Quickly you look for an owner and you don't see one. No one is yelling for this creature to stop and come back. Just as quickly, your mind searches for a way to safety. Yo...

'Border Crisis' - Conspiracy...Or Bad Philosophy?

Suddenly we are facing a "crisis" at the border, with tens of thousands pouring in illegally. Democrats are starting to see the crisis in humanitarian terms and Republicans are seeing the crisis in political terms. Both are partly right, but both are missing the point. Also today, new PEW study shows shocking rate of depression and anxiety due to Covid lockdowns.

Want a Job? Get a Shot!

​Mask tyranny reached a new low recently when a family was kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight because their four-year-old autistic son was not wearing a mask. The family was removed from the plane even though the boy’s doctor had decided the boy should be exempted from mask mandates because the boy panics and engages in behavior that could pose a danger to himself when wearing a mask.

Besides, four-year-olds do not present much risk of spreading or contracting coronavirus. Even if mas...

Sen. Rand Paul Spars With Fauci: 'Noble' Lies And Political Theater

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) had a heated exchange with CDC's Fauci in the Senate late last week, where the Senator pushed the bureaucrat to provide a single study showing that the possibility of re-infection among those who had Covid or had been vaccinated justifies current orders to continue wearing masks. What about the variants? Also today...even Fauci is admitting the six foot rule is not "science." Finally, protests in Europe.

Democracy Cannot Be A License To Steal

Democracy is useful for the peaceful transfer of power. However, in an of itself, Democracy does not equal "Freedom." In fact, neither the Declaration of Independence, nor The U.S. Constitution mention the word "Democracy" anywhere. Is it a coincidence that the U.S. Constitution is almost completely ignored at the same time that America is considered a "Democracy"?

Tucker Vs. Pentagon: Is The Military A Social Justice Factory?

Fox News Host Tucker Carlson ignited a firestorm last week when he questioned the use of pregnant women as fighter pilots. Though his comments focused on readiness, he was immediately slammed - and even threatened - by official Pentagon social media accounts for "denigrating" women in the military. Are "woke" senior military officers more interested in waging war against non-"woke" Americans, or preparing to defend this country?

Russiagate Resurrected: Biden's Spooks Claim Putin Election Meddling...Again!

A conveniently timed new "Intelligence Community Assessment" - declassified yesterday, claims that the Russian president directed his spies and proxies to throw the US election to Trump. All the claims and evidence of Biden family corruption were actually just Kremlin spy tricks. Also today, are you ready for your vaccine passport?

The Futility of Busybody Authoritarianism

By Chris Rossini

​Events --> Interpretation --> Action 

All day, every day.

Events take place, we individually perceive and interpret their meanings, and then act in a way that we believe will be beneficial to our lives.

Let's take an event as simple as the wind blowing. One person perceives and interprets the wind, and decides to put on a jacket. Wearing a jacket is believed to be more beneficial to this person's life than not wearing one. So he acts, and puts the jacket on.

Another individual perce...

Blockbuster! Washington Post Admits Using Fake Trump Quotes!

Two months after reporting on former President Donald Trump "pressuring" Georgia election officials to find fraud in the process - long after that narrative had been accepted as fact - the Washington Post yesterday announced that the quotes were made up. Who made them up and why? Shouldn't the Post have investigated thoroughly? Is there no pushback when the mainstream media continues to print biased falsehoods? Also today, one school district in Texas said a strong "NO!" to shutting down and onl...
