Fauci’s First Year Of Retirement Was A Money Making Bonanza, Docs Show

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal.

Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.

The documents do not describe the source of the deposits.

Fauci leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023, just as newly empowered Congressional investigators sharpened their focus on the ways Fauci betrayed the public’s trust at the pandemic’s height.

Fauci sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for a reported $5 million in March 2023. That news coincided with a March 2023 congressional memo showing Fauci had privately “prompted” an influential paper dismissing the theory that COVID could have resulted from a lab accident. On July 1, 2023, Fauci began an appointment at Georgetown University as distinguished university professor in both the School of Medicine and School of Public Policy. Roughly two weeks later, two of the coauthors of that paper testified to Congress about the extent of their collaboration with Fauci.

Exercising During This 3-Hour Window Linked to Lowest Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Most people know that exercise — especially a combination of cardio and strength training — is good for your heart.

But a major study tracking over 85,000 adults suggests it’s not just what you do at the gym — it’s when you do it — that counts.

The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that people who worked out either early or late in the morning had an 11% and 16% lower risk, respectively, of heart disease and stroke than those who didn’t lace up their sneakers until the afternoon.

Specifically, researchers identified 8 to 11 a.m. as the ideal sweet spot for exercise — at least when it comes to heart health.

Women in particular saw the strongest benefit, as those who hit the gym in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke and 24% lower risk of coronary artery disease compared to their afternoon counterparts.

The Gospels Say Jesus Crucified in Jerusalem: Why Does Revelation Say Sodom and Egypt?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s no secret to millions of Christians that Jesus was put to death in Jerusalem, according to the New Testament gospels.

But many often wonder about a cryptic statement at the end of the Bible indicating He was crucified in “Sodom and Egypt,” two other locations, neither of which is Jerusalem.

How can this be? Is the Bible somehow being inconsistent with itself? . . .

“There is a very simple answer to this which reveals Scripture is completely true and consistent,” says Joe Kovacs, author of the inspiring book, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.”

“We all need to realize the Word of God is not always broadcasting on the physical, human level. It’s often airing its message on a higher level, often called the parable or spiritual level. It’s the method in which Jesus exclusively spoke.”

Scripture notes: “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.” (Matthew 13:34 NIV)

“So in addition to the physical meaning, there’s that higher parable meaning as well. I call it ‘God speed,’ as we’re all getting up to speed on the way God thinks, operates and broadcasts His glorious message,” Kovacs explains.

Fauci Refuses To Take Media Questions At Protested Florida Speaking Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

Floridians gathered to protest Anthony Fauci’s two lectures at the acclaimed Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota Monday, in a two-part rally across southwest sections of the state. The event demonstrates increasing public skepticism about Covid lockdowns and Fauci, lockdowns’ foremost champion.

Fauci refused to make himself available to media at the Florida event, another reversal for the famous TV and publicity hound. While Fauci retired in 2022, his wife was recently laid off by the Trump administration’s cuts to Fauci’s former agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Five years on from unprecedented lockdowns, the evidence of their damage continues to grow. A new book documenting those harms for school children comes out on April 22.

The Florida event is the latest in a string of lectures Fauci is giving this spring to rehab his image and promote his book. Demonstrators held anti-Covid-vaccine posters just outside the building where the former NIAID director spoke before a sold-out crowd. One man in a Fauci mask wielded new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.”

In a parallel event dubbed “FreedomFest,” physicians, health freedom advocates, and community leaders spoke at Five Points Park, calling out the devastating directives that cost livelihoods, freedoms, and lives during the Covid outbreak under Fauci’s misguided leadership.

How Easter Transformed The World Like Nothing Else Ever Could

/0 Comments/in , /by

Across cultures throughout human history, people have sought to flee oppression and escape persecution. A recurring theme in Western literature and in modern classics such as Superman and Disney originals, which revolve around the struggle between good and evil, is the need and critical role for a rescuer or savior.

Easter is the celebration of the finished work of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the ultimate rescuer and savior for mankind, who sacrificed his life to provide forgiveness of sin — enabling all who believe in Christ to have a direct relationship with God.

That no other religion makes the claim that it was founded by a messiah makes Jesus the most revolutionary figure of human history.

Still, some assume Christianity is like other religions that require followers to perform certain works and rituals acceptable to God. Not so with Jesus, for he implores us in Matthew 11:30, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” When a learned Jewish Pharisee, whose life required living up to stressful “dos and don’ts” of the Mosaic law, asked Jesus which was the greatest commandment in the law, Jesus answered simply that if we love God and love our neighbor as ourselves, we will have fulfilled all the laws.

Christ is absolutely unique in other ways. First, he is the only person in history who was pre-announced starting a thousand years before he was born, with eighteen different prophets between the 10th and the 4th centuries B.C. predicting his coming birth, life, and death. Hundreds of years later, the details of Christ’s coming birth, life, betrayal, and manner of death validated those prophecies in surprisingly accurate and minute detail. One thousand years before Christ, David prophetically wrote about the crucifixion of Christ, at a time when crucifixion was unknown as a means of execution.

Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent report from an education watchdog has found that colleges and universities across the nation are still operating diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and programs, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding an end to DEI initiatives among any organizations that receive federal funding.

Defending Education, the higher education arm of Parents Defending Education, published a report this week detailing how nearly 400 colleges and universities in the U.S. still operate DEI offices and programs. Only 16 colleges and universities have shuttered their DEI initiatives.

According to the report, 242 universities still operate DEI offices or programs, as do 162 schools or colleges. Defending Education also found that 26 universities or colleges have simply “rebranded” or “renamed” their DEI offices and programs, in an apparent effort to avoid detection. Examples of new names used to hide DEI initiatives include “Access,” “Advocacy,” “Belonging,” “Community,” “Compliance,” “Inclusive Excellence,” “Institutional Excellence,” “Resilience,” and “Success.”

The report is “not exhaustive,” but it surveyed colleges and universities in 46 states and the District of Columbia. California had the most schools with DEI programs at 27, followed by New York at 24, Illinois at 17, and Massachusetts at 15. Many universities run multiple DEI initiatives, including offices or programs within specialist or graduate schools. The majority of these projects identified by Defending Education are located within medical schools, nursing schools, and engineering schools.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon said, “It would be naive to think that reforming educational institutions could be accomplished by the stroke of a pen.” She explained, “DEI is rooted in a belief system that is enforced, but more than that, it is accepted and believed. The hearts and minds of people running colleges and universities must change if we want true reform. It will take generations to transform higher education.” Kilgannon added, “Prayer, fasting, and the engagement of Christians in the process is necessary.” (Read more from “Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices” HERE)

‘Let RFK Try To Help Us’: Families Of Severely Autistic Americans Come To Kennedy’s Defense

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this past week that he’s commissioning a series of studies to investigate potential environmental causes for autism, and underscored how the rate of autism, including severe autism, is continuing to increase.

Speaking specifically of severe cases of autism, RFK Jr. noted that some children may never grow up to play baseball or even use the bathroom by themselves.

Some Democrat politicians, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA) and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, criticized Kennedy for allegedly standing against people with autism. RFK, however, was met with support from family members of Americans who suffer from severe autism.

“I am not an RFK jr. fan but he just described children with what some would call ‘profound’ or ‘severe’ autism at a press conference and I have already seen so much pushback about how ‘their kid who has autism isn’t like that’ and like……….congratulations???? mine is,” one X user posted.

“For my daughter, autism is not a super power. It makes her life very difficult. She struggles to communicate her needs, it’s hard for her to participate in things with other children. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am not anti vax, and ‘love on the spectrum’ is not my life,” she continued. “Like on one side you have people telling you that your kid’s disability essentially isn’t that big of a deal and on another they’re saying, ‘We believe you.’ Even if I disagree with their conclusions, they have empathy for me. For my child.”

Woman Arrested for Sending Poisoned Easter Eggs to Ex’s Family in Alleged ‘Revenge’ Plot, Killing 1 Child

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jealous ex allegedly sent poisoned chocolate Easter eggs to the home of her love rival, killing a 7-year-old boy and leaving two people in critical condition in Brazil.

Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, allegedly purchased the chocolate eggs in a disguise at a supermarket and spiked them herself before they were delivered to the home of her ex-boyfriend’s new partner, 32-year-old Mirian Lira, according to reports.

Barbosa left a note with the gift that read, “With love, to Mirian Lira. Happy Easter,” the Daily Mail reported.

Lira received the gift and shared the eggs with her children, 7-year-old Luis Silva and 13-year-old Evelyn Fernanda, last Wednesday.

Little Luis fell ill “immediately” after eating the chocolates and died at a nearby hospital the following day. Evelyn and Lira are still in critical condition at the same hospital, according to The Standard.

Defense SEC. Hegseth Shared War Plans in Second Signal Chat: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent details of the March attack on the Houthis in Yemen in a second group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer — the latest scandal out of the Pentagon in a chaotic few weeks, according to a report.

Hegseth reportedly shared the sensitive details about the strikes to his spouse before the US carried out the March 15 attack, the New York Times reported Sunday, citing four sources with knowledge of the chat.

The information he shared was nearly identical to what was sent in another chat that mistakenly included a lefty journalist, according to the sources.

Last month, Hegseth allegedly texted the same information regarding the attack in a Signal group chat that included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, among numerous Trump administration senior national security officials.

The revelation of a second sensitive group chat in just a few weeks after news of the first one broke adds to the apparent dysfunction inside the defense department, in which multiple top Hegseth advisors have been shown the door and a probe into alleged leaks is underway.

Vice President JD Vance, Pope Francis Brush Off ‘Public Tiff,’ ‘Rift’ Media Claims At Easter Sunday Vatican Meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance met with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday, a diplomatic high water mark amid his ongoing April 18-24 trip to Italy, Vatican City and India.

The meeting lasted “some minutes and they exchanged Easter greetings,” according to a Vatican statement. The visit occurred at 11:30 a.m. local time in the pope’s residence in the Casa Santa Marta as Easter Sunday Mass was celebrated nearby in Saint Peter’s Square. Since Pope Francis, 88, is convalescing from double pneumonia after a 38-day hospitalization, the role of celebrant of the liturgy commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ was delegated to Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the retired archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica.

The second family attended a separate, private Mass at the Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside-The-Walls, according to a Sunday press release from the Office of the Vice President.

“It’s good to see you in better health,” Vance told the Holy Father. The pope gifted him with a Vatican tie, blessed rosaries and three Easter eggs for his children. Before departing the brief encounter, Vance revealed to the bishop of Rome, “I pray for you every day.” (Read more from “Vice President JD Vance, Pope Francis Brush Off ‘Public Tiff,’ ‘Rift’ Media Claims At Easter Sunday Vatican Meeting” HERE)
