Fauci Pension Would Be Largest in Nation’s History

/0 Comments/in , /by

If octogenarian COVID-19 czar Anthony Fauci ever decides to retire, he should have plenty of income to enjoy what’s left of his golden years.

The doctor will be making at least $350,000 per year after he leaves his job as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci could have retired in 2005 but stayed in his job, which is now paying $434,312 a year, the highest of any federal employee, including President Joe Biden.

“There’s no way I’m going to walk away from this until we get this under control. I mean, that’s the purpose of what we do. That’s our mission in life. In the middle of it, I’m not going to walk away,” Fauci told ABC News. “It’s kind of like we’re halfway through World War II and you decide, ‘Well, I think I’ve had enough of this. I’m walking away.’”

His eye-popping retirement will be the largest in U.S. history. Open the Books calculated his retirement earnings at 80% of his highest three-year average plus cost of living increases. (Read more from “Fauci Pension Would Be Largest in Nation’s History” HERE)

Clinton Voter Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison Over Fatal Argument About 2016 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Associated Press reported today that a California man who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after shooting his bandmate and killing his bandmate’s wife after being teased about backing Clinton.

According to the AP, “John Kevin McVoy Jr., 40, of Corona, received the maximum sentence Monday after being convicted of murder last month.”

Though his lawyers claimed self-defense, McVoy was found guilty of murder, as well as bringing a loaded weapon into a residence and pointing it at somebody last November after he shot his bandmate, Victor Garcia, and killed his wife, Susan Garica, who was holding their small child:

“McVoy was in a garage band with Victor Garcia. During practice on Jan. 10, 2017, the two got into an argument over politics at Garcia’s home in North Long Beach, prosecutors said.

McVoy pulled a gun after he was teased for saying he had voted for Hillary Clinton and Garcia told him to leave, prosecutors said.

Five Men Accused of Plotting to Kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Want Charges Dismissed Because FBI ‘Invented Conspiracy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Five men associated with the far-right Wolverine Watchmen militia group have asked a judge to dismiss charges of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after claiming that the FBI fabricated the plan and tried to trap them in the conspiracy.

Barry Croff, 44, Adam Fox, 40, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, 23, and Brandon Caserta were arrested on October 8, 2020 after allegedly hatched the plot because they were upset with Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions. All five men are currently in custody.

According to a federal complaint, they planned to snatch Whitmer from her vacation home and secret her away in an undisclosed location.

‘The government initiated this case, despite the fact that it knew there was no plan to kidnap, no operational plan, and no details about how a kidnapping would occur or what would happen afterward,’ defense lawyer Scott Graham wrote in his 20-page motion.

The attorneys claimed in their December 25 filing that if it weren’t for an FBI informant embedded with the group, known only as ‘Dan’, who encouraged the plot and promised to fund it through a charity organization, the men would never have done it on their own.

These Are the Most Important Senate Races in 2022

/0 Comments/in , /by

With the Senate tied 50-50, just a few key races will decide which party controls Congress’ upper chamber for the last two years of President Joe Biden’s first term.

In addition to key pieces of legislation, executive and judicial nominees will depend on whether Democrats can maintain control, or Republicans take over. Here are five of the most important Senate races to watch during the midterms:

Republican Pat Toomey is retiring after two terms, and his seat is one of just two up for election where the current holder is of a different party than the candidate who won the state in 2020. Army veteran Sean Parnell, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, dropped out of the race in November following a contentious custody battle that included accusations of domestic violence. State Sen. Jeff Bartos and television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz are the two highest-profile Republicans in the race, although Bridgewater Associates CEO David McCormick is also considering a run. . .

In the other state won by Joe Biden where a Republican currently holds a seat up for re-election, incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson has publicly considered retirement. Johnson won re-election in 2016 against Russ Feingold by less than four points, leading some Democrats to view the seat as a pickup opportunity. . .

Sen. Mark Kelly, who defeated Martha McSally in a 2020 special election, will run for a full six-year term. Following the statewide victories of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in 2018, and Kelly and Joe Biden in 2020, many Democrats have begun to view Arizona as a key swing state. Biden was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since Bill Clinton in 1996, and Sinema was the first Democratic senator elected by Arizonans since Dennis DeConcini in 1988.

Joe Rogan Names One Person He Thinks Could Beat Donald Trump in 2024

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Joe Rogan said former First Lady Michelle Obama could beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election if she decides to run.

Rogan spoke with comedian Tim Dillon on his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Dec. 24. The pair discussed a variety of topics, including COVID, vaccines and the 2024 election.

Rogan segued into the election by mentioning how the press is “trying to ice out” Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Michelle Obama and they’re gonna bring Harris,” said Rogan. “Michelle Obama and Harris. Harris comes back as the vice president, Michelle Obama’s the president. We get a double dose of diversity.”

Is a Domestic Vaccine Requirement Coming?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday said public health officials are maintaining an “open mind” when it comes to the prospect of implementing a domestic vaccine requirement, although he echoed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky by asserting that it is not happening at this “particular time.”

Fauci made waves this week after suggesting that officials are open to requiring vaccines to travel on domestic flights.

“When you make vaccination a requirement, that’s another incentive to get more people vaccinated,” he said during an appearance on MSNBC on Monday. “If you want to do that with domestic flights, I think that’s something that seriously should be considered.”

When asked about this controversial topic during Wednesday’s press conference with the White House COVID-⁠19 Response Team and Public Health Officials, Fauci backed off a bit, making it clear that such a requirement is “on the table” but adding that they do not believe it is necessary at this moment due to masks and filtration on planes.

“I had said, and I’ll say it again, that we — when we talk about keeping America safe and keeping our citizens safe, everything that is an intervention is always on the table and always discussed. And we discuss it regularly on — literally on a daily and a weekly basis,” Fauci began. (Read more from “Is a Domestic Vaccine Requirement Coming?” HERE)

New Bill Would Allow Criminals to Choose Military Service Over Prison Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida legislators may soon make it possible for individuals convicted of certain criminal offenses to choose military service instead of serving time in prison.

Florida Senate Bill 1356 was filed on Dec. 21 by Democratic Sen. Darryl Rouson. The bill would enable eligible individuals to join the military instead of going to jail. To be eligible, a convicted criminal would have to be 25 years old or younger and have a sentence that does not exceed four years for all total charges. Also, the offender cannot and must not be charged with multiple felonies or be a violent career criminal.

The proposed bill would require that the convicted person satisfy any financial obligations that have been imposed as a result of his sentence and achieve a satisfactory score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test. If the convicted individual fails to satisfy their imposed obligations, he must appear in court for resentencing, according to the bill.

Judge in Ghislaine Maxwell Case Fears One Thing That Might Derail Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. The judge for the Ghislaine Maxwell trial informed the jury Monday that deliberations would be extended to 6 p.m., an hour longer than normal, due to concerns about the surge in the Omicron variant in New York City.

“We are seeing an astronomical spike in the number of COVID-positive cases in New York City,” Judge Alison Nathan said, according to ABC News.

“We are very simply at a different place regarding the pandemic than we were only one week ago and we now face a high and escalating risk that jurors and/or trial participants may need to quarantine,” she added, according to CNN. “Accordingly, extending deliberations by an hour gives the jury more time each day to continue to engage in its thoughtful deliberations.”

Nathan noted that she would also ask jurors to continue their deliberation through New Years without a break for the holiday, citing the risk that the trial could be disrupted by the rising coronavirus cases.

“In light of the variant, my concern about the interruption of the trial, given the increasing daily risk of exposure to either a juror or trial participant requiring quarantine — it is time to think about having the jury make plans to deliberate until a verdict is reached,” she said, according to ABC News.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Judge May Have Jurors Deliberate Every Day This Week Until They Reach a Verdict

By New York Post. The jury weighing Ghislaine Maxwell’s fate revealed late Tuesday afternoon that it is “making progress” after its fourth full day of deliberations – and the judge said she may ask the panel to huddle every day this week till it reaches a verdict.

The jurors sent a note to Judge Alison Nathan about 4:45 p.m., writing they were making headway in reaching a verdict.

“Our deliberations are moving along, and we are making progress. We are at a good point,” they wrote.

They then asked to be dismissed at 5 p.m. and return Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Nathan agreed to the request — but also warned the panelists that they should be prepared to deliberate every day this week, including Friday, New Year’s Eve, until they reach a verdict.

Dem Civil War: COVID Enthusiasts Furious After Biden CDC Shortens Quarantine Requirements

/0 Comments/in , /by

Not everyone is pleased with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Monday decision to relax the quarantine and isolation requirements for people who catch COVID-19. . .

For others, the shift in policy represented the Biden administration caving in to big business.

Specifically, some to Biden’s left are pointing to a report from one week ago that Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian wrote a letter to CDC director Rochelle Walensky requesting that the quarantine and isolation periods be reduced. Requirements to quarantine and isolate have been disruptive to businesses of all kinds that have lost employees, but the airline industry has been particularly affected this holiday season.

“So we find out that Delta CEO Ed Bastian asked the CDC to reduce the recommended quarantine time from 10 days to 5 for vaccinated people because of workforce impact,” wrote former Democratic Congressional candidate Russell Foster. “This change has nothing to do with the virus or your health & everything to do with the profits of corporations.”

Others went as far as to suggest that Biden’s CDC was going to get people killed. That group includes former Hillary Clinton adviser Peter Daou, who asked “WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F*CK IS THIS?”

Study: COVID Vax Makes Omicron Infection More Likely

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Worried about Omicron? Guess what? After 90 days, the vaccine they gave you is going to make you MORE likely to get infected from Omicron, not less. The longer you stay on the vaccine treadmill, the harder to get off in the future and the easier you’ll make it for the virus.

In short, we’ve been lied to about the vaccine. It is protecting you less and less over time. While you may get a benefit for earlier variants, the benefit for other variants (and likely other diseases) is going to be negative. In short, you are getting a short term benefit against Delta, but at the expense of a degradation of your overall immunity to everything else.

These vaccines may help you win the war against a variant that may soon be rare, but the price you pay is that you make your immunity to everything else worse. It’s a dumb tradeoff (especially since early treatments work so well). But the people making the laws won’t believe any of the science referenced in this article, so it will continue.

Alix Mayer alerted me to this game changing tweet about a study in Denmark which instantly went viral as you can see from the number of retweets:
