In recent days, a number of stories have surfaced regarding the origins of COVID-19. These stories are coming out in advance of an official government report on the same subject from the Directorate of National Intelligence.
The only reason the DNI is issuing its report is because congressional Republicans forced the issue earlier this year.
Democrats could have done it in the first two years of the Biden Administration. But discovering the truth about the origins of COVID just wasn’t a big priority for them. Why not?
They didn’t want to upset communist China. They didn’t want to embarrass Dr. Fauci. And they really didn’t want to admit how much they lied to the American people.
So, what’s the big news from these new stories?
Patient Zero, the first person to be infected by a new virus, has been found. In this case, COVID-19’s Patient Zero is actually three people: Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu.
What do they have in common? They were all researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. They all got sick in November of 2019. And they were all working on gain-of-function research involving SARS viruses.
They didn’t work at a wet market. They weren’t eating bat sandwiches. They were scientists in the communist Chinese lab that Anthony Fauci funded!
Democrats Lied & People Died
Common sense told us that the Wuhan lab was the most logical source of the pandemic. But when Donald Trump and many conservatives said that, they were blasted as “bigots” responsible for anti-Asian hate crimes.
Responsible doctors and scientists who said, “Everything suggests COVID came from the lab” were condemned as “crackpots” by the media, blackballed by colleagues and banned from scientific journals. Their medical licenses and research grants were threatened for resisting the establishment mindset.
Fauci and other top officials spent considerable time, effort and political capital to discredit the “lab leak theory.” They were determined to shut it down.
Dr Francis Collins, Fauci’s boss, said the lab leak theory had to be crushed quickly in order to avoid “potential harm to science and international harmony.”
Never mind the REAL HARM to science.
Never mind the REAL HARM to the truth.
Never mind the REAL HARM to our lives.
Never mind the REAL HARM done to the country by their lies and deceit.
It will be interesting to see whether the DNI report is actually released on time, and how much is redacted. It will be even more interesting to see how much coverage it gets. My bet is next to none.
Will the Biden White House intervene to shut it down? There is evidence it might.
Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) told CNBC Wednesday that the Biden Administration is sitting on an FBI report about the damage done to our national security by communist China’s spy balloon.
Why would they do that? Because the Chinese have threatened to boycott talks with the United States if the FBI releases that report.
Well, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is going to Beijing this weekend. Don’t hold your breath expecting to see the FBI’s spy balloon report any time soon.
The Left’s War On Normalcy
Soros-funded prosecutor Alvin Bragg has indicted hero Marine Daniel Penny. As you may recall, Penny intervened to protect passengers on a New York City subway who were being threatened by a career criminal. Penny is reportedly facing 15 years in prison.
The liberal elites in Manhattan who are chauffeured to work every day will just shrug and move on. But I suspect many subway riders are looking for other ways to get to work today. Alvin Bragg just put a huge bull’s eye on the back of everyone who rides the subway. He just declared “open season” on law-abiding passengers.
Once again, I’m struck by how the left is using every means possible to destroy normalcy and average Americans.
It’s not enough to host huge “Pride” events at the White House. It’s not enough to try to frame a president as a traitor and then try to lock him up for the rest of his life.
They’re also going after parents at school board meetings. They’re going after mothers.
They’re going after peaceful pro-life activists. They’re going after conservative churches.
Now, when they’re not defunding the police, they’re going after Good Samaritans who protect vulnerable women and the elderly.
They want the mentally ill and criminal thugs to freely roam the street, and if a man dares to fight back, he’s the guy they’re going to throw in jail!
2024 Update
Yet another candidate is jumping into the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez filed his official paperwork Wednesday. He is the first Hispanic and third Floridian to join the 2024 race.
It will be interesting to see how Suarez runs his campaign. He’s not much of a DeSantis fan. And maybe not much of a Republican at all.
But this much seems certain: Donald Trump has a solid base of support. The Morning Consult poll shows Trump leading the GOP field by 40 points. And the more candidates who divide and split up whatever “anti-Trump” vote there is, the better for the former president.
Meanwhile, radical Professor Cornell West announced that he’s running for the Green Party’s presidential nomination. Political analysts see this as a real threat to Biden since the Green Party is on the ballot in more than a dozen states.
Speaking of Biden, he announced major new infrastructure projects Wednesday night during an address before the League of Conservation Voters.
Biden said he wants to build one of the world’s largest solar plants … in Angola (that’s in Africa!), along with a new Transcontinental Railroad, only this one is going to cross the Pacific Ocean to India. That’s more than 8,000 miles of track — across an ocean!
Sounds like Joe wandered off script again.
A Nation In Jeopardy
Numerous studies in recent years have tracked the decline of Christianity in America. At the same time, more and more Americans believe our nation is “out of control” and “headed in the wrong direction.” But if a recent game of Jeopardy! is any indication, America is in real jeopardy.
It’s not easy to get on Jeopardy! You’ve got to be fairly smart to be one of the three contestants. You have to pass a test and audition before you can appear on the stage.
But Tuesday night, the contestants were given this clue from the category of “Dadjectives”:
“Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father, which art in heaven,’ THIS ‘be thy name.”
Sadly, none of the contestants knew the answer!
