Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are setting up a complex network of companies all based in the opaque tax haven state of Delaware – despite living and doing business in California.
Meghan's longtime lawyer and business manager have incorporated 11 companies and a trust for the couple since April 2020, state filings reveal, including a firm apparently set up for Harry's multi-million-dollar memoir book deal.
Names for the companies include an intriguing Japanese term for deal making, a reference to Meghan's freckles in Spanish, a South American river, and a possible allusion to a (snip)
The companies are all headquartered in the Beverly Hills offices of attorney Richard Genow,

CNN hired convicted thief Rex Chapman, who uses his popularity on Twitter to spread misinformation, this week to host a new show on the network’s digital streaming platform.
(snip)It comes as no surprise that CNN, which has lost multiple employees in recent months after they were arrested and charged with sex crimes involving juvenile victims, hired yet another criminal to join its staff.
In 2015, Chapman, a former NBA star, was sentenced to 750 hours of community service and forced to pay at least $15,000 to an Arizona-based Apple store after he pleaded guilty to shoplifting technology totaling more than $14,000 and then attempting to resell the products.

COVID-19 case counts have dropped across the United States in recent days, stoking optimism that the Omicron-fueled wave is subsiding.
Thirty-four states have recorded a decrease in cases in recent days, not including states that reported a single-day drop, according to an Epoch Times analysis.
That includes some of the states that saw huge Omicron-fueled increases, including New York, California, and Florida.
Omicron is one of the newest variants of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
Other states that have seen fewer cases recently include Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

Ashli Babbitt desperately tried to prevent rioters from vandalizing the doors leading to the Speaker’s Lobby at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, even stepping between one troublemaker and police officers guarding the doors, a video analysis shows.
Frame-by-frame video evidence analyzed by The Epoch Times paints a vastly different picture of Babbitt’s actions than that portrayed in media accounts over the past year. News media regularly painted Babbitt as “violent,” a “rioter,” or an “insurrectionist” who was angrily trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby.
Video clips appear to show she tried to prevent the attack, not join it.

It appears that another virus is spreading in China. It allegedly has patients bleeding from bodily openings, including the eyes and ears. Reports from Xi’an, where the government has locked down a city of 13 million people, some who are nearing starvation, claim there are now signs of community transmission of hemorrhagic fever. The state-run Global Times reported on this, and claimed the regime is urging quick vaccinations to stop the spread of the virus.

More people now identify as Republican than at any other time this century, according to Gallup’s latest political party preference report.
Republicans currently enjoy a 47% to 42% identification advantage over Democrats, tied for the highest lead Republicans have had since they first took over the House of Representatives in 1995. The only higher margin for Republicans occurred in 1991, shortly after the first Gulf War.… Democrats started 2021 with a 9-point lead over Republicans 49%-40%. But as President Joe Biden failed to end COVID as he promised, failed to prevent the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, and failed to stop rising inflation, the Democrats' edge over Republicans gradually sank along

I’ll keep this brief.
The first article focuses on Fauci’s anticipated federal payout:
Fauci Finances: Beyond the Record-Breaking Retirement Package
It was revealed recently that Dr. Anthony Fauci is entitled to the largest-ever federal retirement benefits package. After a senate hearing dustup this week, there may also be a bill named after the “uniquely compensated individual”
(snip)
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) announced Thursday he plans to introduce a bill named after Dr. Anthony Fauci after he clashed with the nation’s top infectious diseases expert at a Senate hearing earlier this week.
Fauci was caught on a “hot mic” calling Marshall “a moron” after Marshall asked him about his annual salary and financial disclosures.

Dr. Anthony Fauci invested in the Chinese regime’s corporate “national champions,” large Chinese companies that advance Beijing’s interests and benefit from state policies, in a 2020 investment portfolio, according to recently disclosed financial records.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) obtained the records (pdf) and published them on Jan. 14, which showed that Fauci had $10.4 million in investments, including holdings in several funds, at the end of 2020. One particular fund was named the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund.
The fund invested 42.7 percent of its investors’ capital on companies based in Hong Kong and China, according to a fact sheet (pdf) published by the private investment firm Matthews Asia in September 2021.

On March 8, 1983, in his morally crystalline “evil empire” speech, President Ronald Reagan issued a clarion call for the end of the inhuman ideology of communism and its most inhumane practitioner, the Soviet Union:

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin took executive action to ban critical race theory (CRT) and mask mandates in Virginia schools, as well as prohibit vaccine mandates for state employees during his first day in office on Saturday. The edicts came just hours after the Virginia Republican was officially sworn in as the state’s 74th governor.
“We’ll start where the future is determined in the classroom preparing Virginia’s children to be career or college ready,” (snip) “We will remove politics from the classroom and re-focus on essential math, science, and reading. And we will teach all of our history, the good and the bad.”

A new survey of Republican primary voters in South Dakota suggests that Sen. John Thune’s (R-S.D.) reelection chances were severely damaged by his public spat with former President Trump after the 2020 election.
The poll, conducted by pollster Fabrizio, Lee & Associates for the political action committee American Potential Fund, found that Thune, who just announced his reelection campaign on Saturday, would probably lose a primary challenge by Gov. Kristi Noem, or Dusty Johnson, a popular South Dakota U.S. representative. The survey also found that former president Donald Trump remains very popular with GOP primary voters (RPV).(snip)
John Thune had the lowest net favorability of the three,

The inept national security policies of Joe Biden during his first year in office caused a profound deterioration in American and global security that is certain to worsen in 2022 unless he takes aggressive steps to change course. (snip)First, fire Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. These officials have been weak advisers to an incompetent president and should be replaced with more experienced Democratic experts with gravitas and principle.

We have seen some cheerleading for Thune. Why? A member of McConnell’s Praetorian Guard, he has never done anything to benefit our country. Now he’s a really big deal? Nope.
