Drive-by Shooting Near George Floyd Square Injures Man Hours Before Memorial Festival

By Yahoo News. A gunman fired shots near the Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd died a year ago just hours before a festival in honor of the black man who died during a police arrest sparking a global movement for racial justice.

One man was injured in the shooting by 38th Street and Chicago Avenue – informally known as George Floyd Square – with witnesses saying as many as 30 shots were fired. . .

A news broadcast reporting on the family-friendly street festival to mark a year since Floyd’s death at the hands of police was interrupted by the gunfire.

People can be seen falling to the ground to find cover and cycling away from the memorial as others shout to “get down”.

Police spokesman John Elder said authorities believe he was injured in the shooting by George Floyd Square. He was in critical condition but was expected to survive. (Read more from “Drive-by Shooting Near George Floyd Square Injures Man Hours Before Memorial Festival” HERE)

Actor Russell Brand Slams Media Censorship of Hunter Biden Exposé

Russell Brand is slamming the way both mainstream media and social media companies suppressed The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden just before the 2020 election — saying media gatekeepers “conspired to keep information away from you because it was not convenient to their agenda.”

Brand, host of the “Under The Skin” podcast, made the comments while speaking to investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, his guest for that episode. . .

“However, it seems to me,” he continued, “what reason is Hunter Biden … on the board of an energy company in … Ukraine? What reason is James Biden … on the board, or receiving payments from an energy company, in China?”

“For me, revelations that there are financial connections between energy companies in … Ukraine, energy companies in China, and the Biden family are troubling. That should be public knowledge. And it’s even more troubling that Twitter, and Facebook and the media at large deliberately kept it out of the news because they didn’t want it to influence the election,” Brand continued.

“As I’ve said, Donald Trump, you know, I don’t think Donald Trump’s the answer, but I’m sad to realize that I can no longer even claim to believe Joe Biden or the Democratic Party might be the answer, because look at how they behave. And look at the relationships between media, social media, and that party. They conspired to keep information away from you because it was not convenient to their agenda.” (Read more from “Actor Russell Brand Slams Media Censorship of Hunter Biden Exposé” HERE)

Congressman With ‘Severe Distress’ at Jan. 6 Riot May Have Another Problem

A lawsuit by Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of the organizers of the Democrats’ two failed impeach-and-remove campaigns against President Trump, in which he claims he suffered emotionally during the Jan. 6 events at the U.S. Capitol, should be dismissed, a lawyer for Trump has argued.

For one thing, lawyer Jesse Binnall explained in a court filing, the claims violate “well-established, important, constitutional doctrines” including the First Amendment.

Secondly, Trump, as president, has “absolute immunity” for the proceedings given his tenure in the Oval Office, the lawyer said.

The Washington Examiner reported Tuesday on the arguments against Swalwell’s claims for damages because of his suffering on that day in January, when some members of a crowd broke into the building and vandalized parts. . .

Binnall said, “Plaintiff’s theories run directly afoul of well-established, important, constitutional doctrines. Despite his pledge to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, Mr. Swalwell comes to this court directly attacking First Amendment doctrines which lie at the heart of the uniquely American traditions of free speech, free assembly, and freedom to petition the government without fear of reprisal.” (Read more from “Congressman With ‘Severe Distress’ at Jan. 6 Riot May Have Another Problem” HERE)

Doctor’s Warning: Don’t Get the COVID Shot

Dr. Peter McCullough, a prominent cardiologist, internist and professor of medicine who has testified to the U.S. Senate, has explained that he is not against vaccines, and many of his patients have been vaccinated for COVID-19.

But he said in a new interview this week that with increasing reports of adverse effects, it’s too risky for people who have a more than 99% survival rate to receive one of the experimental vaccines.

“Based on the safety data now, I can no longer recommend it,” he said in an interview with journalist and author John Leake.

“There are over 4,000 dead Americans, there are over 10,000 in Europe that die on days one, two and three after the vaccine,” said McCullough.

The figure for the United States comes from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. Between Dec. 14, 2020 and May 7, 2021, more than 190,000 adverse events were reported, with 4,057 deaths. (Read more from “Doctor’s Warning: Don’t Get the COVID Shot” HERE)

This Organization Will Lead the Investigation Into COVID Origins

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday the China-dominated World Health Organization (WHO) would lead phase two of an investigation into the origins of the novel Wuhan coronavirus.

Psaki’s remark came in response to a reporter at a White House briefing who pressed Psaki on what groups would be charged with another investigation of the virus’ origin after the WHO’s initial report was undermined by its own Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Ghebreuesus admitted more research needs to be conducted after the WHO concluded from its initial investigation under Chinese oversight last year ruled the lab-leak hypothesis, written off as a conspiracy in U.S. media, was highly unlikely. . .

“What role does the Biden administration think U.S. scientists or CDC scientists should play in that investigation?” a reporter asked.

“The WHO would be the body that would be overseeing a transparent, independent phase 2 investigation. That’s something we have strongly supported,” Psaki said. “That would require China finally stepping up and allowing access needed to determine the origins.” (Read more from “This Organization Will Lead the Investigation Into COVID Origins ” HERE)

White House Defends Biden’s Meeting With Putin

The White House says President Biden’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva next month is a “vital part” of defending American interests and not a “reward” for destabilizing behavior.

Biden and Putin are set to meet in Geneva on June 16, and are expected to discuss a range of issues, including Iran and North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, Syria, the Arctic, strategic stability, arms control, climate change, COVID-19 and more.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday was asked why the president offered to meet with Putin, to which she replied: “This is how diplomacy works.”

“We don’t meet with people only when we agree, it’s actually important to meet with leaders when we have a range of disagreements, as we do with Russian leaders,” Psaki said.

“We don’t regard the meeting with the Russian president as a reward, we regard it as a vital part of defending America’s interests and President Biden is meeting with President Putin because of our countries’ differences, not in spite of them,” Psaki continued, adding that the meeting will serve as “an opportunity to raise concerns where we have them, and again, move toward a more stable and predictable relationship with the Russian government.” (Read more from “White House Defends Biden’s Meeting With Putin” HERE)

Disgraced GOP Senator Says He ‘Would Support’ Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Commission

Sen. Mitt Romney says he “would support” the House-passed bill establishing a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, making him the first Senate Republican to come out in favor of the proposal, after House Republicans opposed it.

Speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Monday evening, Romney (R-Utah) made the revelation after being asked how he would vote if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) brought the legislation to the floor for debate.

“I would support the bill,” he responded.

The Senate is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, though Vice President Kamala Harris, as Senate president, has a tie-breaking vote. Still, 51 votes are not enough under current rules to break through the filibuster. (Read more from “Disgraced GOP Senator Says He ‘Would Support’ Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Commission” HERE)

Guilty Biden FINALLY Condemns ‘Despicable’ Attacks on Jews; Pro-Israel Rally Attacked: ‘KILL THE JEWS’; Dem-Run Cities Won’t Protect Jews and Asians from Hate Crime Explosion

By Daily Caller. After initial silence, President Joe Biden condemned the attacks against Jewish communities in the U.S., calling for an end to the violence Monday.

The rise in anti-Semitic attacks across the country coincided with an explosion of conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza earlier in May. The Biden administration spent time pushing “quiet, intensive diplomacy” with the Middle East in an effort to end the violence, the White House noted at the time.

At the same time, the president appeared to initially neglect addressing violence within his own country. He finally referred to the violence Monday and called the attacks “despicable” while urging Americans “to give hate no safe harbor.” . . .

Biden at Fault for Attacks

By Bob Unruh. [T]here is the surging instability that has been created in a region where former President Donald Trump’s administration successfully had negotiated four peace treaties between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

And all of the blame goes to President Joe Biden.

That’s the conclusion from Con Coughlin, the Telegraph’s Defense and Foreign Affairs editor and a distinguished senior fellow at Gatestone Institute.

“Full responsibility for the latest upsurge in Arab-Israeli violence goes to U.S. President Joe Biden as a result of the policies of appeasement and capitulation he has pursued in the Middle East,” he concluded.

“When Mr. Biden took office in January, the Middle East was enjoying one of its rare moments of optimism, mainly due to the successful approach adopted by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump.” (Read more from “Attacks on Jews are Biden’s Fault HERE)

Pro-Israel Rally Attacked in Illinois: ‘Kill the Jews’

By Breitbart. A “Walk for Israel” rally in Naperville, Illinois, was disrupted by violent protesters from the “Naperville Protest for Palestine” Sunday. Naperville Police Department allegedly told the pro-Israel group to go home due to safety concerns, as the pro-Palestinian protesters stopped cars, physically attacked the pro-Israel demonstrators, and burned a stolen Israeli flag before. . .

The “Walk for Israel” was organized by high school junior Talia Raab on May 13, and days later the “Naperville March for Palestine” was created in response. . .

As the pro-Israel demonstrators were leaving, Daniel said they could hear the counter-protesters marching closer and chanting, “Intifada! Intifada! Long live the Intifada!” and “Khaybar Khaybar, ya yahud, Jaish Muhammad, sa yahud,” which means, “Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Muhammad is returning.”

When four teenage pro-Israel boys were driving away, Daniel said they “got caught in the mob at a traffic light. They were surrounded by the mob with people jumping on and into their car, spitting and punching.” An Israeli flag was stolen from the car and burned:

When the Raabs and another family left, their cars were allegedly attacked by a pro-Palestinian mob. Daniel said a mob of 20 people “began pounding and shaking the car, trying to break the windows and enter through the sunroof. They were cursing at us and saying ‘kill the Jews.’” Both families were able to get away from the mob. (Read more from “Pro-Israel Rally Attacked in Illinois: ‘Kill the Jews’” HERE)

Democrat-Run Cities Can’t or Won’t Protect Jews and Asians from Hate Crime Explosion

By Breitbart. Every time I write something like the following, it feels silly and obvious, but sometimes the silly and obvious still must be said: Imagine the media landscape today if roving bands of white supremacists were flying the confederate flag out of their vehicles and stopping only to assault Jews.

Imagine CNNLOL, imagine NBC News, the New York Times, the Washington Post… If that were happening, we would be at Defcon 1 in this country, and yet this is exactly what’s happening to American Jews and we’re not at Defcon 1, but only because the roving band of antisemitic thugs are middle eastern.

Remember CNNLOL, NBC News, the New York Times, and Washington Post after a report was released showing an explosion in hate crimes against Asians? Remember how they all went to Defcon 1 when they thought they could blame it on former President Trump and his white supremacist supporters? . . .

Well, not because hate crimes have ceased against Asians. Nope, the narrative disappeared because almost every time one of these anti-Asian bigots was arrested or caught on video, the bad guy wasn’t white.

We live in a world where the establishment media are willing to spend years flat-out lying about Trump saying Nazis are very fine people, but are all but covering up an actual and very real hate crime crisis.

Massive COVID Origin Coverup Campaign Has Begun; WATCH: Fauci Does 180 on China’s COVID Origins; 3 Wuhan Lab Workers Had COVID in 2019?

By The Federalist. The Atlantic’s David Frum appears to be first out of the gate in what will likely become a coordinated, aggressive media campaign to defend the people and institutions that got the COVID-19 origin story wrong — and absolve them of all responsibility, however complicit they might be — and instead blame it all on Trump and his supporters.

It sounds stupid, I know, but it’s true. Frum thinks Trump and his tens of millions of supporters “are not interested in weighing the evidence” of the virus’s origins, and only want “payback for the political and cultural injuries inflicted on them by the scientists.” The whole thing, for them, is just “a weapon in a culture war here at home.” . . .

The need for such a campaign has become apparent in recent days because the question of COVID’s origins isn’t going away. There are two main theories: either the virus naturally jumped from animal to humans, or it was being studied — and perhaps manipulated or enhanced — in a lab and accidentally escaped. . .

Then last week, a group of prominent scientists published a letter in the journal Science calling for a deeper investigation, including the possibility that the virus escaped from a lab by accident. The letter’s signatories include some of the world’s leading coronavirus researchers. One of them is Dr. Ralph Baric, who collaborated with Dr. Shi Zheng-li, China’s foremost expert on bat viruses, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. They were trying to enhance the ability of bat viruses to infect humans. . .

So why did the entire corporate media dismiss the lab leak theory as some crazy conspiracy theory last year? Well, because Trump and his supporters suggested it. When Sen. Tom Cotton last February had the temerity to note on Fox News that the virus emerged not far from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, The New York Times ran with the headline: “Senator Tom Cotton Repeats Fringe Theory of Coronavirus Origins.” (Read more from “The Media’s COVID Origin Coverup Campaign Has Begun” HERE)

Three Wuhan Researchers Hospitalized in 2019

By Samuel Chamberlain. Three researchers at a Chinese lab that has been scrutinized as the possible origin point of the coronavirus pandemic went to the hospital due to an illness in November 2019, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal, which cited current and former US officials, reported that the intelligence gathered by “an international partner” expands on a State Department document confirming that workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill with symptoms “consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness” in fall 2019. . .

The theory that the coronavirus accidentally leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology into the wider population has gained credence as a viable explanation in recent weeks, following a World Health Organization-led investigation and report — compiled with the help of the Chinese government — that left many other nations dissatisfied.

China has contributed to the suspicion, with the lab not releasing records related to its work on coronaviruses in bats. Meanwhile, Beijing has pushed a series of wild theories, including that the coronavirus spread through imported frozen food packaging and originated at a biomedical research facility at Fort Detrick in Maryland. . .

Meanwhile, Republicans are pressing federal health officials to detail what the Wuhan Institute of Virology did with grant money from the National Institutes of Health NIH. (Read more about COVID origins HERE)

WATCH: In Surprising Reversal, Fauci Calls for Investigation Into China’s COVID Origins

By The Blaze. Dr. Anthony Fauci is now calling for more investigation into China to uncover the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a dramatic reversal from his earlier position in which he dismissed theories that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. . .

In a recent interview that received little attention, Fauci was asked by PolitiFact editor Katie Sanders whether he is “still confident that [COVID-19] developed naturally?” . . .

“No, actually,” Fauci said. “No, I’m not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened.”

“Certainly, the people who’ve investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could’ve been something else, and we need to find that out,” he continued. “So, you know, that’s the reason why I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.”

Election Auditors Find Problem: Scan Counted 28 Percent of Test Ballots for GOP Candidates

Auditors who are examining votes in Windham, New Hampshire, may have discovered why initial results showed a discrepancy in the vote count for a Democrat candidate.

Republicans in Windham, New Hampshire won all four seats in the legislative election on Nov. 3, but a Democrat candidate, Kristi St. Lauren, requested a recount, which was granted because she lost by just 24 votes.

However, during a hand recount, it was revealed that she didn’t lose by 24 votes. Instead, the effort revealed that the GOP candidates had actually received 300 additional votes, while St. Laurent lost 99 votes. . .

The auditors, in another tweet, found that another machine had an “even more dramatic problem,” only counting 28 percent of the 75 votes for each Republican candidate in the contest. . .

One of the auditors cautioned that their work evaluating the election isn’t finished yet, saying that folding may not be the primary reason for the discrepancy. (Read more from “Election Auditors Find Problem: Scan Counted 28 Percent of Test Ballots for GOP Candidates” HERE)
