Not Just China: The US Government, Universities Are Hiding Evidence on the Origin of COVID-19, Experts Allege

An article published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has ignited a new debate over the origin of COVID-19.

Renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs and Dr. Neil Harrison, a professor of molecular pharmacology and therapeutics at Columbia University, laid out one of the most comprehensive overviews of the evidence yet that COVID-19 could potentially have emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China. However, unlike most previous analyses, Harrison and Sachs point out that there are troves of untapped evidence potentially available right here in the United States that have not yet been investigated.

Attempts to investigate what was going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in the leadup to the COVID-19 pandemic have thus far been stifled by a lack of cooperation from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, the two authors allege that more than a half dozen institutions in the United States have evidence that could prove useful in finding where COVID-19 came from, if only they would make it public.

Most of these institutions are government agencies — the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The authors also name the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and University of California-Davis (UCD) as well as EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), the non-profit which worked directly with the WIV on bat-based coronavirus research.

Comedian Under Fire for Anti-Tranny Jokes in His Brand New Netflix Special

Ricky Gervais is facing backlash for anti-trans jokes in his latest Netflix special, Supernature. Although the title just dropped on the streamer earlier today, it has already garnered widespread criticism from the LGBTQ community and allies, who have slammed Gervais’ material as insensitive and harmful, Variety reports.

The comedian’s latest Netflix title includes multiple jokes about trans people, specifically trans women. Gervais rails against cancel culture, pronouns and gender identity, making jokes about “old-fashioned women” and “new women.”

He begins one joke by saying, “Oh, women! Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those f***ing dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they?,” per Variety. “The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and c***s. They’re as good as gold, I love them.”

Gervais continues, “And now the old-fashioned ones say, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘They are ladies — look at their pronouns! What about this person isn’t a lady?’ ‘Well, his p***s.’ ‘Her p***s, you f***ing bigot!’ ‘What if he rapes me?’ ‘What if she rapes you, you f***ing TERF w***e?’” (Read more from “Comedian Under Fire for Anti-Tranny Jokes in His Brand New Netflix Special” HERE)

Walmart Pulls ‘Disrespectful’ Juneteenth-Themed Ice Cream

Walmart was forced to pull its ice cream commemorating Juneteenth after it was blasted as “disrespectful” and “greedy.”

“Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation, and enduring hope,” the ice cream’s label read.

The product, which boasted red velvet and cheesecake flavors, also featured a trademark logo by the word “Juneteenth.”

But the dessert was quickly slammed on social media by critics who accused the retail giant of trying to profit off black people.

Dem Insanity: Blood on the Hands of Republicans

Director and actor Rob Reiner issued an extreme statement in response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, blaming Republicans for the horrific act that left 18 students and three adults dead.

“The blood of every child that dies of gun violence in this country is on the hands of the Republican Party,” the All in the Family star exclaimed on Tuesday.

Reiner also retweeted a statement from his daughter, Romy Reiner, who said in all-caps: “YOU CAN KILL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL IN TEXAS BUT CAN’T GET AN ABORTION.”

Romy Reiner and Rob Reiner mentioned abortion when decrying the horrific killing of children. At least half the country believes abortion kills a child in the womb. (Read more from “Dem Insanity: Blood on the Hands of Republicans” HERE)

Trump-Endorsed Candidate Wins Georgia Senate Primary

Less than an hour after the polls closed in Georgia on Tuesday night, former NFL player Herschel Walker, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, was declared the winner in the Republican primary by Decision Desk Headquarters. He will go on to face Sen. Raphael Warnock, one of Georgia’s two Democratic senators, in the November general election. . .

As of 8:13pm, Walker had 68.74 percent of the vote. The next closest contender, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black, had 14.37 percent of the vote.

Walker recently gained attention in the news for his pro-life position. As Madeline covered last week, Walker said “there’s no exception in my mind” when it comes to abortion. He was also endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) on April 19.

Uvalde, Texas School Shooting: 19 Children, 2 Teachers Killed, Suspected Shooter Dead

A mass shooting at a Texas elementary school killed 19 children and two teachers Tuesday and the suspected gunman was killed, Gov. Greg Abbott said.

Abbott identified the suspect as Salvador Ramos, a Uvalde resident, who is also dead and acted alone, authorities said. He had a handgun and possibly a rifle when he opened fire at Robb Elementary School, he said. Two police officers were shot and wounded but were expected to survive, Abbott said.

“Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde. Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering,” he said in a statement. . .

University Health in San Antonio said it received two patients – a child and a 66-year-old woman who is in critical condition. The condition of the child was not released. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been briefed on the shooting. (Read more from “Uvalde, Texas School Shooting: 19 Children, 2 Teachers Killed, Suspected Shooter Dead” HERE)

Alleged ISIS Member Arrested for Plot to Assassinate George W. Bush

An alleged Islamic State operative in the United States was plotting to kill former President George W. Bush, according to officials.

An unsealed FBI search warrant from March 23 revealed that two confidential informants and surveillance of the suspect’s WhatsApp profile reportedly determined that an Ohio man named Shihab Ahmed Shihab wished to kill Bush due to his role in the Iraq War.

“President Bush has all the confidence in the world in the United States Secret Service and our law enforcement and intelligence communities,” a spokesperson for the Office of George W. Bush told Forbes.

Shihab has lived in the U.S. since 2020, was based in Columbus, Ohio, and had an asylum application pending, according to the FBI’s documentation. The person claimed to be part of a unit named “al Raed,” which was reportedly led by a former Iraqi pilot for Saddam Hussein and operated out of Qatar until the pilot’s recent death. There may be up to seven different members of this unit, according to the warrant request. Shihab’s identity was kept anonymous in initial reports but was reported by NBC News after he was taken into custody. (Read more from “Alleged ISIS Member Arrested for Plot to Assassinate George W.

A Major New Development in the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal

The Washington Examiner’s new reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop saga marks a giant leap in the public’s understanding of a significant story of national import. A story that was reprehensibly suppressed in the run-up to the 2020 election.

For one thing, the Washington Examiner has put to rest the risible claims that the laptop’s digital contents are not authentic. Plainly, the contents were produced by Biden’s operation of the laptop and nothing else. An exacting technical analysis performed by a highly qualified expert, retained by the Washington Examiner based on his decades of government and private work in the field, confirms what has been patent since the laptop emerged as a public controversy in the weeks just prior to the 2020 election: The laptop belonged to Hunter Biden.

The thousands of emails, memos, ledgers, and photos contained on the laptop were generated by his use of it. To have suggested the laptop’s contents were the result of a hack, a plant, or (most preposterously, Russian intelligence service disinformation) was grossly irresponsible. There was scant evidence that the information could have been fabricated, in comparison to overwhelming evidence that the information, though startling in many particulars, was what one would reasonably have expected to find on a Hunter Biden laptop. Expected to find, that is, given the younger Biden’s notoriously shady foreign business entanglements, his network of family and friends, his history of trading on his father’s political influence, and his demons.

Contrary to what the public was told, it is not difficult to authenticate evidence for purposes of use in court. The rules of evidence indulge a presumption in favor of the admissibility of probative evidence. If an item appears to be what the proponent represents it to be, the rules provide for its admission into the evidentiary record even if there are gaps in the chain of custody or other indications of possible irregularities. Our law’s theory is that such questions go to the weight of the evidence, not its admissibility. The party against whom the evidence is admitted gets to demonstrate any weaknesses through cross-examination; the jury or court then decides how much credibility and significance to attribute to the item. Hunter Biden’s laptop always appeared to be what its proponents claimed it was: Hunter Biden’s laptop. (Read more from “A Major New Development in the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal” HERE)

Stacey Abrams Trashes Georgia on Campaign Trail: ‘Worst State in the Country to Live’

Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams ridiculed the state of Georgia Saturday, dismissing rival Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) claim that the Peach State is the best place to live and do business in the United States.

“I am tired of hearing about how we’re the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live,” Abrams said in a speech at the Gwinnett Democrats’ Bluetopia Gala in Norcross, Georgia. . .

Abrams ran a failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign against Kemp and has since refused to concede, stoking conspiracy theories of a stolen election. This time around, Kemp is also facing another Republican in Tuesday’s primary election — Sen. David Perdue (R), who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

In Rebuke to Pentagon, Navy Board Finds 3-0 for Vax Objector Amid Questions of Mandate’s Lawfulness

In a stinging rebuke to the Pentagon, a Navy administrative separation board voted unanimously to retain an officer who refused to comply with the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Navy Lt. Billy Moseley, who has been an officer for 22 years, could have chosen to retire from the military when he was ordered to receive the COVID vaccine. He also could have submitted a Religious Accommodation Request, since he objected to the vaccine for religious reasons.

Risking his retirement, Moseley chose instead to take his case to the administrative separation board after learning “that the Navy and the other services intended to implement a blanket denial policy,” according to a press release from his attorney, R. Davis Younts.

Moseley consulted with legal and medical experts and “became convinced that as an officer he had an obligation to take a stand against the unlawful order and be a voice for thousands of enlisted Sailors,” the press release continued.

Younts told Just the News Moseley is one of the first Navy service members — maybe even the first officer — to go to the board over the COVID vaccine mandate. (Read more from “In Rebuke to Pentagon, Navy Board Finds 3-0 for Vax Objector Amid Questions of Mandate’s Lawfulness” HERE)
