Report: States That Cut Federal Benefits Have Lower Unemployment Rate

The unemployment rolls are shrinking faster in states that have axed federally boosted payments as the economic carnage from the COVID-19 pandemic eases, a new report said.

The 21 states that have ended or will end the beefed-up payments in June saw a 13.8 percent drop since mid-May in the number of people receiving unemployment benefits, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

The four states planning to end the benefits in July and September saw 10 percent and 5.7 percent drops, respectively, the Journal said, citing an analysis by Jefferies LLC.

“You’re starting to see a response to these programs ending,” Aneta Markowska, chief financial economist for Jefferies, told the outlet.

COVID-19 relief that boosted weekly unemployment payments by $300 per person will expire Sept. 6 but many states have plans to end the benefits earlier. (Read more from “Report: States That Cut Federal Benefits Have Lower Unemployment Rate” HERE)

Majority of Voters Believe COVID-19 Leaked From China

The possibility that the COVID-19 virus was created by scientists and leaked from a lab in China was dismissed by establishment media and politicians as a conspiracy theory, but amid growing evidence, a majority of Americans now believe it’s the best explanation for the origin of the pandemic.

Some 60% of American voters favor the lab-leak theory, which is nearly double the 31% who believe the pandemic started naturally, according to a Fox News poll.

The survey found 79% of Republicans and 58% of independents think the virus leaked from a lab, while 41% of Democrats agree. Among Democrats, 46% believe the virus evolved from nature.

The survey also found that people who are not vaccinated are more likely than those who are to say they feel “very” comfortable going out in public (49% vs. 38%).

The telephone survey was conducted June 19-22 under the joint direction of Beacon Research and Shaw & Company. (Read more from “Majority of Voters Believe COVID-19 Leaked From China” HERE)

Report: US Officials Confirm China Deleted Early COVID-19 Data

The US government confirmed that Chinese researchers erased early COVID-19 data from a shared international database — after an American scientist discovered the quiet removal and sounded the alarm on a potential plot by China to cover up the virus’ origins.

The data, which detailed the genetic makeup of early samples of the virus found in Wuhan, were logged into the Sequence Read Archive last March but were “requested to be withdrawn” by scientists in China that June, the National Institute of Health said Wednesday, according to Bloomberg.

The Chinese scientists who logged the data, and then requested it be removed, said the sequence information had been updated and was being moved to another database and they wanted “to avoid version control issues,” the federal agency said.

“Submitting investigators hold the rights to their data and can request withdrawal of the data,” NIH officials told the outlet. (Read more from “Report: US Officials Confirm China Deleted Early COVID-19 Data” HERE)

Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)

On Thursday, President Joe Biden made an appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina, to promote vaccinations against the Wuhan coronavirus.

During his remarks, the president discussed issues of “equity” with vaccines, noting that of a team of doctors, they have one working solely on that “equity” issue. This is to do with, in part how, as Biden claimed “it’s awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated as well.” The president pronounced it in such a way that “Latinx” rhymes with “Kleenex.” The reason why, he explained, was because “they’re worried they’ll be vaccinated and deported,” suggesting the president was equating the “Latinx” community with illegal immigrants.

Minutes later, the president used the term “Hispanic communities.”

Despite such hesitation from certain demographics, the president shared that “across the nation, people of color accounted for more than half the vaccinations in the last month.” He was met with applause when declaring “the more we close the racial gap in vaccination rates, the more lives we can save.” (Read more from “Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)” HERE)

Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon

When she was secretary of state, Hillary Clinton warned in a cable to French officials that research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could lead to a “biological weapons proliferation concern.”

The cable, obtained via Wikileaks, was addressed to all embassies in member nations ahead of a plenary session in Paris of the Australia Group, Sept. 21-25, 2009, reported Jack Posobiec for Human Events.

The international export control forum was organized to prevent the spread of chemical and biological weapons. Members include European Union nations, India, Japan and South Korea. But China is not a member.

“We believe it is important to focus on emerging chemical and biological technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related goods and threats,” Clinton’s cable said to France.

She said participants in the forum would benefit from hearing about France’s “experiences assisting China in setting up a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from the export control and intangible technology transfer perspectives.” (Read more from “Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon” HERE)

Nations That Relied on China’s COVID Vaccines Now Seeing Large Increases in Infections

The Chinese Communists had promised the world a safe, effective vaccine to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Before their vaccines had even hit the market, they were selling millions of doses to countries such as Mongolia, Bahrain, and Chile. They loaned a billion dollars to Latin America so countries there could afford the shots. They gave 100,000 doses to tiny, impoverished Bangladesh.

All of this was to build goodwill and improve strained relations that China had damaged so much in recent years. Indonesia — which never counted itself a “friend” of China — was being given vaccine doses when most of the west was still trying to get their own populations vaccinated.

But there was one, small problem with the vaccines. They don’t work very well.

New York Times:

In the Seychelles, Chile, Bahrain and Mongolia, 50 to 68 percent of the populations have been fully inoculated, outpacing the United States, according to Our World in Data, a data tracking project. All four ranked among the top 10 countries with the worst Covid outbreaks as recently as last week, according to data from The New York Times. And all four are mostly using shots made by two Chinese vaccine makers, Sinopharm and Sinovac Biotech.

Nearly 4,000 Fully Vaccinated People in Massachusetts Test Positive For COVID

Nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for Covid-19, according to state health officials.

As of 12 June there had been 3,791 cases among more than 3.7m fully vaccinated people in the state, data from the Department of Public Health shows.

That means that around one in 1,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts are still becoming infected despite getting their shots. . .

The Centers for Disease Control has stated that the three vaccines available in the US prevent most people from getting the virus.

But the CDC has also recognized that there will be “a small percentage of fully vaccinated people who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from Covid-19”. (Read more from “Nearly 4,000 Fully Vaccinated People in Massachusetts Test Positive For COVID” HERE)

This Country’s President Warns He’ll Arrest Unvaccinated, Inject Them ‘in Your Butt’

. . .The president of the Philippines has taken another route in convincing his population to be vaccinated.

He’s threatening to round up and arrest the noncompliant and inject them “in the butt.” . . .

A report published at Cadillac News said President Rodrigo Duterte, already known for his public outbursts, unleashed another on Monday.

“There is a crisis being faced in this country. There is a national emergency. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, I’ll have you arrested and I’ll inject the vaccine in your butt,” he threatened.

“If you will not agree to be vaccinated, leave the Philippines. Go to India if you want or somewhere, to America,” he said. (Read more from “This Country’s President Warns He’ll Arrest Unvaccinated, Inject Them ‘in Your Butt'” HERE)

Google’s Reported Ties to Wuhan-Linked Scientist Points to One of the ‘Biggest Scandals’ of Our Time

By Fox News. A new report revealing that Google and the USAID-funded Wuhan scientist Peter Daszak’s virus experiments for over a decade unearthed what could be considered one of the “biggest scandals” of our time, Steve Hilton said on Monday.

“It’s honestly one of the biggest scandals for, I don’t know, a hundred years.” Hilton said during an appearance on “Fox News Primetime.” “I can’t think of a bigger one.”

“The Next Revolution” host referenced the “shocking” report published by the “The National Pulse” which reveals financial ties between Google and Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, understood to be “a controversial group that has openly collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on ‘killer’ bat coronavirus research.”

Daszak served on what The National Pulse called the World Health Organization’s “wildly compromised” COVID investigation team and reportedly personally “championed efforts” to debunk the growing Wuhan lab-leak theory as the origin for the virus.

The report, Hilton said, only lends further credence to his belief that Big Tech had been personally invested in silencing the origins speculation and other questions surrounding COVID-19.

Jon Stewart Says It’s Obvious COVID-19 Came From Wuhan Lab

By New York Post. Jon Stewart is getting attacked by his usual lefty admirers after fully throwing his support behind the belief that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab.

The former “Daily Show” host started going viral after a blistering appearance on “The Late Show” Monday in which he scoffed at anyone who doubted that the pandemic originated in Wuhan could not be tied to the major coronavirus-studying lab in the same city.

“The disease is the same name as the lab!” he repeatedly said, saying, “That’s f–ed up.”

His support of the theory — long rubbished by the left after being touted by former President Trump and his administration — appeared to irk host Stephen Colbert, who flailed around for comebacks.

“And how long have you worked for Sen. Ron Johnson?” Colbert asked, comparing Stewart, 58, to the Republican Senator who last week said that evidence of a lab leak “has been hiding in plain sight for months.” (Read more from “Jon Stewart Says It’s Obvious COVID-19 Came From Wuhan Lab” HERE)

Gov’t Helicopter Discovers ‘Unauthorized’ Church Service, Pastor Put in Handcuffs (VIDEO)

. . .This week, Pastor Tim Stephens of Fairview Baptist Church was arrested outside his home as his distressed children cried, all for holding a church service discovered the day before by a police helicopter.

The conservative Canadian website Rebel News reported that it is unclear if the helicopters were searching for unauthorized church services or just happened to notice the gathering. The outlet said that while police vehicles were later seen circling the service, which included group worship and a sermon from Pastor Stephens, they did not move in and attempt to stop the gathering.

The minister was arrested the following day for violating a court order that restricted him from holding services. Rebel News notes that the weekend prior, the church was effectively seized by Alberta Health Services for failing to adhere to local regulations regarding attendance, social distancing, and masks.
