Who Is the Nonprofit Exec Who Sent U.S. Taxpayer Money to Wuhan Lab?; Report: NIH-Funded Military Scientist Filed Patent for COVID Vaccine Just After Contagion Emerged

By New York Post. The nonprofit exec whose organization sent nearly $600,000 in US taxpayer money to a Chinese lab that may have been the source of COVID-19 masterminded an effort near the start of the pandemic to squelch the notion that the coronavirus was man-made, a new report reveals.

Peter Daszak, president of the New York City-based EcoHealth Alliance, secretly organized a statement issued by the influential British medical journal The Lancet in February 2020, according to Vanity Fair.

A total of 27 scientists — including Daszak, 55, who trained as a zoologist — signed the statement, which expressed “solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China.” . . .

The nonprofit, which says it’s “dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergency of disease,” has received as much as $15 million a year in grant money from various federal agencies, Vanity Fair said.

EcoHealth has used those grants to fund controversial “gain-of-function” research — which can increase the infectiousness and virulence of viruses — at facilities that include the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to Vanity Fair.

Report: NIH-Funded Military Scientist Filed Patent for COVID Vaccine Just After Contagion Emerged

By New York Post. A Chinese Communist Party military scientist who got funding from the National Institutes of Health filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine in February last year — raising fears the shot was being studied even before the pandemic became public, according to a new report.

Zhou Yusen, a decorated military scientist for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) who worked alongside the Wuhan Institute of Virology as well as US scientists, filed a patent on Feb. 24 2020, according to documents obtained by The Australian.

The patent — lodged by the “Institute of Military Medicine, Academy of Military Sciences of the PLA” — was filed just five weeks after China admitted there was human-to-human transmission of the virus, and months before Zhou died under mysterious circumstances, the report noted.

“This is something we have never seen achieved before, raising the question of whether this work may have started much ­earlier,” Prof. Nikolai Petrovsky from Flinders University told the paper.

Adding to the intrigue, Zhou later died under mysterious circumstances in May last year — something being looked into as part of the international investigation ordered by President Biden, the paper insisted.

Facebook Bans Former President Trump Until 2023

Facebook is banning former President Trump from its platform for at least two years, after finding that his posts on January 6 stoked violence and posed a risk to public safety.

And, as part of a new enforcement policy for public figures, the social media giant isn’t guaranteeing that Mr. Trump will be allowed to return at the end of the ban.

“At the end of this period, we will look to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded,” Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs, wrote in a blog post. “If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded,” he added.ding permanent removal of his pages and accounts. . .

Mr. Trump called Facebook’s ruling “an insult” to his supporters. “They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing,” he responded in a brief statement. The two-year ban is considered to have begun on January 7, when Mr. Trump was initially suspended from Facebook, and it will keep him off the platform through the 2022 midterm elections.

Facebook’s new enforcement policy, which specifically applies to public figures during times of civil unrest and violence, incorporates a series of time-bound suspensions for policy violators. The two-year suspension is the harshest penalty available under Facebook’s new protocols. (Read more from “Facebook Bans Former President Trump Until 2023” HERE)

Obama Era Emails: Burisma-Linked Firm Offered Ukrainian Prosecutor ‘Access’ to Clinton Camp

Former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko told former Obama State Department official George Kent he had been “pitched” by a Hunter Biden and Burisma-linked lobbying firm to give him “access” to “high levels” of the Clinton campaign in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election, according to emails between former Obama State Department officials obtained by Fox News.

The lobbying firm, Blue Star Strategies, is reportedly under federal investigation for potential illegal lobbying. Politico first reported the investigation, which allegedly comes as the Justice Department is ramping up enforcement of foreign governments’ efforts to influence U.S. politics. Those efforts have been linked to work by Republicans, but the probe into Blue Star also puts firms and operatives connected to the Democratic Party under the microscope.

In an email released to Citizens United on Thursday as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) filing, and obtained by Fox News, former deputy assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eastern Europe George Kent wrote to a number of Obama administration officials about a meeting he had with Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko in September 2016 about Blue Star Strategies. . .

Kent, a key witness in the first impeachment proceedings against former President Trump in 2019, said the two discussed options of a trip Lutsenko had been planning to the U.S., and “confirmed he has been pitched by Blue Star, not sought them out.” . . .

“Blue Star CEO [Karen] Tramantano’s pitch was that she could gain him access to high levels of the Clinton campaign (GPK note: she was Podesta’s deputy as deputy COS the last year of Bill Clinton’s tenure), and that was appealing—to meet the possible next Presidential Chief of Staff,” Kent wrote.

County Bans ‘Left-Wing’ Coca-Cola Machines From Government Buildings

Officials in Surry County, North Carolina, voted to remove Coca-Cola machines from all government facilities in response to the beverage company CEO’s remarks about Georgia’s controversial new voting law.

The ban passed during a Board of Commissioners meeting on May 17 with a 3-2 vote as a direct response to Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey’s comments calling the voting law “unacceptable” and “a step backwards.”

Commissioner Ed Harris provided “TODAY” Digital with the copy of a letter he sent Quincey, calling out the company’s “corporate political commentary favoring the Democratic party” and announcing the decision to remove Coca-Cola machines from government facilities. . .

In the letter to Quincey, Harris said the beverage company supports “the out-of-control cancel culture and bigoted leftist mob” when it chooses the social issues it wants to speak up about.

“Michael Jordan once said ‘Republicans buy sneakers too’ when asked why he didn’t make public comments about politics,” Harris wrote. “Citizens of Surry County and across America are growing increasingly tired of large multinational corporations and their CEOs pushing an increasingly intolerant, bigoted, left-wing, divisive political agenda on its customers.” (Read more from “County Bans ‘Left-Wing’ Coca-Cola Machines From Government Buildings” HERE)

Unearthed Hunter Biden Laptop Messages Reveal How Badly He Treated His Baby Mama

By New York Post. Hunter Biden’s laptop keeps providing proof of the kind of man he is. As Samuel Chamberlain reported for The New York Post, “Hunter Biden’s ex-stripper baby mama was on his payroll while pregnant: texts.”

Biden allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a stripper, Lunden Roberts, who worked at the Mpire Club where Biden frequented. Roberts ultimately became pregnant with Biden’s daughter, who was born in August 2018. Biden not only denied that the child was his, but that he had even met Roberts. He also had to be taken to court before he agreed to pay child support, though he made things as difficult as possible for all parties involved. In 2019, Roberts’ daughter was proven to be Biden’s via a DNA test.

Chamberlain’s reporting indicates that Roberts was on his payroll during her pregnancy but then was booted off once she gave birth to their daughter. He points to messages from Hunter Biden’s laptop as proof:

The messages, which are contained on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, shed new light on the relationship between him and Lunden Roberts, who gave birth to their daughter Navy Joan Roberts in August of 2018, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

Roberts messaged Biden on July 24 of that year to let him know that their child’s due date was Sept. 8. (“Amoeba DD Sep 8, 2018 All Good,” she wrote.), the Mail reported. The message received no response from Hunter.

Hunter Biden’s Ex-Stripper Baby Mama Was on His Payroll While Pregnant: Texts

By New York Post. The former stripper who bore Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child — and who he claims that he has no memory of meeting — was on his consulting firm’s payroll during her pregnancy, text messages retrieved from his laptop reveal.

And the first son made sure she was booted off the company insurance plan months after she gave birth, according to the texts. . .

That December, Hunter Biden messaged assistant Katie Dodge asking for information about his firm, Rosemont Seneca.

“And just for clarification who is pay roll paid to now and for past nine months?” he asked, adding in subsequent messages, “So when you took what’s her name off and re directed her income did it also End my insurance.”

Dodge later reassured Hunter: “No, Lunden’s removal doesn’t jeopardize insurance.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s Ex-Stripper Baby Mama Was on His Payroll While Pregnant: Texts” HERE)

RNC Threatens To Pull Out of 2024 Debates Unless ‘Significant Reforms’ Made

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel says she may advise 2024 presidential candidates not to take part in future debates unless “significant reforms” are made.

In a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, dated Tuesday and reviewed by The Post, McDaniel laid out the GOP’s grievances with how forums during the 2020 race were conducted.

“The CPD’s repeated missteps and the partisan actions of its board members make clear that the organization no longer provides the fair and impartial forum for presidential debates which the law requires and the American people deserve,” the RNC chairwoman began by noting.

“Unless the CPD adopts significant reforms to ensure that it better fulfills this important, nonpartisan function, the RNC will have no choice but to advise its future nominees against participating in CPD-hosted debates.”

Demanded changes include placing term limits on the commission’s board of directors, and barring staff and board members from making public comments — positive or negative — about any candidate. (Read more from “RNC Threatens To Pull Out of 2024 Debates Unless ‘Significant Reforms’ Made” HERE)

Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium

A group of Alabama landlords is asking the Supreme Court to strike down a nationwide eviction moratorium put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

The request, filed late Thursday evening, came after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., declined to end the policy, which was instituted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year. The group, led by the Alabama Association of Realtors, said CDC officials had overstepped their authority by halting evictions.

The group asked Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles requests from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to grant an emergency order allowing evictions to resume. . .

The CDC’s moratorium is set to expire in June. Its expiration date has already been extended several times. The order was originally instituted to prevent the spread of the pandemic in overcrowded buildings. (Read more from “Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium” HERE)

Here’s How Wealthy Some of America’s Most Prominent Socialists Are

Some of America’s highest-profile advocates for socialism live quite luxurious lifestyles compared to average, working-class Americans. The average income for individual Americans is $35,977; for a household, it’s $68,703. . .

Bernie Sanders burst into the national consciousness in 2016 when he ran for the Democratic presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton by railing against millionaires and billionaires. He’s since dropped the “millionaires” part in many of his speeches and proposals, perhaps in part due to the fact that he is one himself.

Sanders released tax returns in 2019 which confirmed he is a millionaire, and his income spiked substantially after his fairly successful run for the White House. “These tax returns show that our family has been fortunate,” Sanders said at the time. “I am very grateful for that, as I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck and I know the stress of economic insecurity.” . . .

[Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse] Cullors was an original co-founder of Black Lives Matter, and she’s a self-described Marxist.

Despite her devotion to the father of socialist theory, Cullors had no issue making up to $20,000 per month as the leader of a Los Angeles-based jail reform group, and she’s purchased at least four homes worth a combined total of more than $3 million across the country since 2016.

Witnesses: Surge in Illegal Aliens From Muslim Terror-Linked Nations

President Joe Biden’s open border policies are attracting a historic surge of potentially dangerous illegal immigrants, many from non-Central-American Muslim nations, according to new eyewitness reports.

“It’s up 300%, 400%. Be prepared. They’re coming,” according to a new report from border expert Todd Bensman, who has been charting the historic traffic of illegal immigrants since Biden took office.

His report highlighted a ‘record 10,000 so-called ‘extracontinental’ migrants” — or those not from Latin America.

While journalists have been focused on the crossings of Latin Americans at the U.S.-Mexico line, Bensman’s latest report for the Center for Immigration Studies comes from a well-known passage area in Panama where suspected terrorists and others unable to legally get into the United States travel through. He quoted a House lawmaker and two journalists who charted the trafficking surge.

“The numbers are the highest ever this month. They have dramatically, dramatically, dramatically increased,” journalist Michael Yon told him from Panama.
