Joe Biden’s Disappearing Act is Not New. It’s How He Became President

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was a running gag throughout his candidacy for president. At 9 or 10 a.m. the Biden campaign would call a “lid” on the Democratic nominee. The once inside baseball term indicating there would be no appearances from the candidate that day came into the public parlance. Another day in the basement, we all laughed. Well, that joke isn’t funny anymore.

Last week as the Taliban stormed across the Afghanistan abandoned by Biden, he once again went into hiding. Somewhere amongst the looming trees and homey wood paneling of Camp David, he sat, most likely mulling over how his experts could have misled him so badly. The Americans he serves saw but a single image of their president, alone in a briefing room, staring at a Zoom call with those experts.

Finally Monday, amid growing pressure he emerged, to throw his predecessors, including Barack Obama, under the bus and pretend everything was going according to his plans. Except, he has no plans. He is barely even a president.

It was just a week ago that Biden was celebrating the Senate passage of his infrastructure bill. But even that, one of few victories in his seven months in the Oval Office, owed more to Democrats like Sens. Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema than to his leadership. His victory lap on roads and bridges wound up in a multi-car pile-up as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo abruptly resigned and the COVID-19 crisis reemerged.

Texas Requests Mortuary Trailers as COVID Precaution Amid Border Crisis While Readying for Afghan Refugees

/1 Comment/in , /by

Texas is requesting five mortuary trailers in anticipation of an increase in dead bodies as the delta variant spikes, while the state also prepares to house thousands of Afghan refugees in addition to coping with the border crisis.

“We are anticipating a need within the state of Texas for these trailers as COVID cases and hospitalizations continue to increase,” Department of State Health Services spokesperson Doug Loveday said Monday, adding that the trailers were requested on Aug. 4.

The trailers would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and be stationed in San Antonio, where they would then move to various Texas locations if local leaders request them, Loveday told NBC News.

“We haven’t gotten any local requests, but we want to be ready with the COVID cases in the state,” Department of State Health Services Chris Van Deusen added, according to the outlet. “We didn’t want to wait.”

The seven-day average of coronavirus deaths in Texas sits at about 80 per day. (Read more from “Texas Requests Mortuary Trailers as COVID Precaution Amid Border Crisis While Readying for Afghan Refugees” HERE)

Biden Walks Fine Line on Vaccine Mandates

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is walking a fine line on vaccine requirements, as it encourages employers to mandate shots for their workers but stops short of promoting other measures.

The White House, in an effort to boost a vaccination rate that has slowed from its April peak, has praised businesses that are mandating vaccinations for employees. Those steps in the private sector largely followed President Biden’s requirement last month that federal workers get vaccinated or submit to regular testing.

But there are several far-reaching measures Biden could impose — and that some experts are calling for. So far, the president has decided against implementing the kind of requirements implemented by U.S. allies.

For example, Canada on Friday announced it would require all airline passengers to be vaccinated, as well travelers on interprovincial trains and cruise ships — steps the U.S. has not taken, though a mask mandate remains in place for interstate travel.

In the U.S., New York and San Francisco are now requiring people to be vaccinated if they want to eat at indoor restaurants or go to the gym. (Read more from “Biden Walks Fine Line on Vaccine Mandates” HERE)

WATCH: Pentagon Spokesman Admits There’s No Plan to Help Americans Trapped in Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Army veteran Matt Zeller issued a strong rebuke Monday night on MSNBC to President Biden’s Afghanistan speech, saying he was “appalled” by the lies the commander in chief told the American people about having planed for every contingency. Zeller, a Biden supporter, said the administration completely ignored his organization’s actual plan for how to evacuate America’s Afghan allies safely. Even worse than that, however, it looks like the Biden administration still has no plan for how to evacuate American citizens safely.

Speaking to CNN, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby admitted he didn’t even know the number of Americans currently trapped inside Afghanistan due to Taliban checkpoints—only giving his “best guess” of between 5,000 and 10,000 near Kabul. He then acknowledged there’s no plan for getting those Americans to the airport safely.

“What is the plan to get these people to the airport?” CNN’s John Berman asked.

“From a military perspective our focus is at the airport,” Kirby said. “Right now though I don’t want to set the expectation that we are equipped and able to go out into the countryside and physically move people into Kabul. Our focus right now, the troops that we have there, are at the airport. The idea is that we can get the air operations, not only have they resumed, but to keep them in place for as long as possible.”

‘A Real Threat’: Terrorists May Exploit Migrant Surge — and Enter the US, Ex-Border Honcho Warns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The former ​Border Patrol chief is warning that President Biden’s mishandling of the surge of illegal immigrants at the southern border has caused more than a humanitarian crisis — it’s also created a national security threat because of the number of known or suspected terrorists crossing into the US.

“Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission, and the context of it being immigration or the current crisis today being an immigration crisis,” ​Rodney ​Scott ​said in a video message to his agents before retiring on Aug. 14, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis. Immigration is just a subcomponent of it, and right now, it’s just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southwest border — to include TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat​,” Scott said, referring to the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database. ​​

Scott, who was pushed aside by Biden ​in June after serving as the head of Border Patrol since 2020, ​urged the agents to remain vigilant.​ (Read more from “‘A Real Threat’: Terrorists May Exploit Migrant Surge — and Enter the US, Ex-Border Honcho Warns” HERE)

Bioaerosol Research Performed by China’s Military May Have Started the COVID-19 Pandemic in October 2019

/1 Comment/in , /by

In an article recently published on [Restoring Liberty], a source inside China during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and familiar with the operations of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) claimed that a test release of the virus was conducted during the 2019 Military World Games, which was held in Wuhan from October 18–27, 2019.

According to that source, the subsequent outbreak in Wuhan was entirely unexpected. That is, there was no accidental laboratory leak, but the unintended COVID-19 spread among the Chinese population of Wuhan for which the PLA had vastly underestimated its transmissibility.

If there was an environmental test of COVID-19 by the PLA, whether at the 2019 Military World Games or elsewhere, expertise in the areas of environmental microorganism surveillance and the analysis of the spread of viral disease in human populations would be essential.

In recent years, the PLA has made extraordinary efforts to fulfill those requirements, starting with the fusion of military and civilian bioaerosol research, which was initiated at a joint symposium between the PLA and Peking University held on January 8-9, 2017.

Everyone should accept the fact that in China there is no difference between military and civilian research. The fusion of those research and development sectors was mandated by the 2016 Chinese Communist Party’s Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.

The January 2017 meeting entitled “Peking University Military-civilian Fusion Bioaerosol Symposium” was organized by Mao-sheng Yao of Peking University and Shun-xiang Huang of the PLA’s Institute for Chemical Defense.

The news report of the symposium cited over two dozen different Chinese universities joining the PLA Institute of Chemical Defense, the PLA Veterinary Institute, the PLA Academy of Military Medical Sciences and the PLA 302nd Hospital to establish a strategic plan for bioaerosol military-civilian integration and avenues of cooperation.

If there was a test release of COVID-19 into the environment, one that precipitated the pandemic, Mao-sheng Yao and Shun-xiang Huang were likely involved.

Mao-sheng Yao is an expert in the surveillance and measurement of microorganisms in the environment, who, incidentally, was entirely educated in U.S. universities, receiving a Master’s degree from the University of Alabama, a doctoral degree from Rutgers University and postdoctoral training at Yale University.

In December 2019, Mao-sheng Yao was granted a Chinese patent entitled “Method for rapidly detecting pathogenic microorganisms in air and respiratory tract on site.”

Shun-xiang Huang is an expert on the spread of viral disease in human populations. In December 2020, he and his colleagues at the PLA Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Institute published an article on how an influenza epidemic would spread in the U.S.

Both Mao-sheng Yao and Shun-xiang Huang have received high honors and awards from the PLA, which indicates the importance China places on military bioaerosol research and development.

China’s military-civilian bioaerosol research consortium, including Chinese commercial companies, are closely connected to the PLA’s Military Veterinary Institute in Changchun and its affiliated research centers, which we have previously identified as key elements of China’s core secret military biowarfare program and their potential roles in the creation of COVID-19.

The contribution of the PLA’s Military Veterinary Institute to China’s biowarfare program and the U.S. universities affiliated with it and funded by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense have been described in previous Gateway Pundit articles, here and here

Yu-Wei Gao of the PLA’s Military Veterinary Institute has no less than nine patents in the last eight years dealing with various aspects of microorganism aerosols.

Together with other colleagues at the PLA’s Military Veterinary Institute, such as Director of the Institute General Xianzhu Xia, Yu-Wei Gao performed animal experiments testing the environmental airborne transmission of influenza viruses capable of infecting humans, as well as genetically-engineering the same viruses to enhance their infectivity.

Clearly, the PLA had the capability of conducting an environmental test of COVID-19. The task ahead will be to gather evidence specific to COVID-19 to corroborate the information provided by the source inside China claiming that such a test did in fact occur.

That investigation and an analysis of Chinese military documents are currently underway.

Man Films Himself as He Faces Certain Death While Clinging to US Plane as It Leaves Afghanistan (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Dramatic video shows a man recording himself and other Afghans clinging to a US Air Force plane taxiing for takeoff at Kabul’s airport in a desperate attempt to flee from the Taliban-controlled country.

The footage, which was taken Monday, shows the smiling man waving to a crowd of people lining the tarmac a day after the insurgents toppled the government — sparking a mad scramble to find outgoing flights.

At least two people were seen plunging to their deaths after the giant C-17 Globemaster jet gained altitude over the fallen capital.

US officials said seven people were killed, including two shot by US troops, after the crowds stormed the international airport and swarmed the tarmac.

Whistleblower: I’ve Seen More People Die From COVID-19 Vaccine Than Virus

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A board certified occupational therapist in Hawaii said he has seen more people die from COVID vaccinations than from COVID itself.

“I’ve seen 32 elderly people pass away immediately after taking the Moderna vaccine. None of that is being talked about on the news. It doesn’t fit their narrative,” Abrien Aguirre told Hawaii Free Speech News, a citizen-journalist video channel.

“I’ve seen more patients die from the vaccine than from COVID,” he said.

Aguirre said he works for Oahu’s largest skilled nursing facility and has worked in three separate COVID units with geriatric patients.

“The people moved to the COVID unit, didn’t have COVID. They tested positive with the PCR test, but most of them were asymptomatic and only suffering from their pre-existing conditions,” he said. (Read more from “Whistleblower: I’ve Seen More People Die From COVID-19 Vaccine Than Virus” HERE)

Liberal Doctor: It’s Time to Start Denying Anti-Vaxxers Access to Major Medical Treatments

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Dr. Vin Gupta argued why anti-vaccine activists should be denied major medical treatments.

As he explained it, if someone is waiting on the liver transplant list and has a drink of wine in six months, they don’t get a liver — and he wants to apply that same sentiment to other major treatments.

“You should be fully vaccinated if you get ECMO, dialysis, we can go into greater detail, but we need to have that paradigm,” he told Joy Reid. “Elective procedures across the country, here in the pacific northwest are being delayed again, and people are tired of that. Also what we’re noticing is the rise of other health threats are real and emerging in a big way. Respiratory virus, a big virus that can affect kids, usually December to February is causing children’s hospitals to fill up with RSV patients. This is a critical time for us to rethink, how do we think about care rationing.”

It’s a similar sentiment some have argued in the past several months in opinion columns and letters to the editor. The thought is that if anti-vaxxers refuse to get the vaccine and they end up dying with astronomical medical bills, that money doesn’t disappear, it’s passed onto other insured people with high premiums and higher hospital costs.

Tucker Carlson Call to Action: American Citizens Must Speak Up or Become Complicit in ‘Soviet Society’ of Censors, Conformists

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, author of The Long Slide: Thirty Years in American Journalism, warned that America is becoming a “soviet society” prioritizing conformity and obedience to government over freedom of behavior and thought.

“I do think, marginally, people can be more brave and more honest just in their personal lives,” Carlson remarked on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “There’s no reason to sit at a dinner party and be browbeaten by somebody and not pipe up. You don’t have to argue, but you can quietly speak your conscience in public.”

He continued, “The society has become so incredibly conformist. I see it in my kids and their friends. My kids don’t agree with a lot of this crap, but the spirit of the age is, ‘Well, I don’t really want to step outside the herd.’ We don’t celebrate mavericks at all. … It’s such a soviet society, now. What we celebrate is team joiners. ‘Oh, look, this guy got the vaccine. He’s a hero. He took his medicine.’ It’s insane.”

A culture of conformity praises compliance while condemning dissidence, Carlson stated. He said dissidents rejecting corporate and government immorality in the vein of Rosa Parks are persecuted in the modern era. . .

He stated, “The saddest realization that I’ve made in the last couple years is that propaganda works. Look at the polling. You can tell people almost anything, and some percentage of them will be like, ‘Yeah, I saw it on NBC News,’ and of course that’s why they do it, but if you thought this was a really independent-minded country with a bunch of flinty mavericks in it, it’s kind of distressing to see that.” (Read more from ” Tucker Carlson Call to Action: American Citizens Must Speak Up or Become Complicit in ‘Soviet Society’ of Censors, Conformists” HERE)
