Latest "Bird Flu" Psyop
replies
I am expert in influenza, and have consulted with the WHO over the past two decades on the topic of flu vaccines. This is one subject matter I am extremely knowledgeable about. This goes back to my medical school days, when I worked with Robert Lamb, one of the top influenza virus specialists in the world. It extended through much of my career,(snip)
What is happening now with "bird flu" is another psyops campaign being conducted by the administrative/deep state, apparently in partnership with Pharma, against the American people. They know and we know that the "vaccines" being produced will be somewhat ineffective, as all flu "vaccines" are
Researchers at Leiden University Medical Center, backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, have developed a new method of delivering malaria vaccines using genetically modified mosquitoes as “flying vaccinators.” The Blaze reports that in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists have demonstrated the effectiveness of using mosquitoes as “flying syringes” to vaccinate humans against malaria. The research, conducted at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) in the Netherlands with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, represents a new and potentially worrying advancement in vaccine technology.
RALEIGH, N.C. — In one of his final acts in office, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper commuted the death sentences of 15 men convicted of murder to life in prison without parole on Tuesday, reducing the state's death row population by more than 10%. Cooper, who was barred from seeking a third consecutive term, will give way to fellow Democrat Josh Stein on Wednesday when Stein takes the oath of office. Cooper, who was previously the attorney general for 16 years, said his commutation decisions occurred following a thorough review of petitions offered by defendants and input from prosecutors and victims'
The Biden administration’s toxic legacy continues to do grave harm to Americans and the national interest; the latest outrage is the renewed likelihood that the 9/11 masterminds will avoid the death penalty.
On Monday, an appeals court tossed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s move to quash plea deals offered to Khalid Sheik Mohammed and co-conspirators Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.
Those deals were signed in July by senior defense official and retired Brig.-Gen. Susan Escallier, an Austin appointee to the Office of Military Commissions.
Tren de Aragua gang members are rushing the Texas border and attacking Border Patrol agents with knives, tire irons and broken bottles before Trump takes office next month.
According to The New York Post, the Venezuelan gang members illegally entered the US through El Paso last week and attacked border patrol agents who tried to stop them.
An informant told law enforcement that the gangbangers are planning on breaking into the US every night at 3 am.

The PA has long suffered from leadership that obstinately refuses to recognize reality, all the way back to its PLO roots. Has that begun to change with Benjamin Netanyahu's reshaping of the region and Donald Trump's return to the White House? Fatah general secretary Mohammad Hamdan may have vested interests in talking down Hamas, but it doesn't mean he's not right.
Hamdan tells the New York Post that he expects Trump to crush Hamas, but not directly. Trump will take down Iran, which will put a stake through the heart of Fatah's bitter enemy.
The stock market is set to gain over 20 percent for the second year in a row - a remarkable feat it has not achieved since the late 1990s.
The S&P 500 is on course to rise over 20 percent this year, after gaining 24 percent in 2023.
Back-to-back rallies over this benchmark would be the best performance for the index since the dot-com bubble in 1997 and 1998, according to data from FactSet.

A Big Apple straphanger is in critical condition after he was shoved onto Manhattan subway tracks and struck by an incoming 1 train — with the horrifying attack caught in disturbing footage.
In what cops are calling a random attack, an unidentified 45-year-old man was at the 18th Street station shortly after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday when the hooded thug pushed him onto the tracks.
Cops responded to a 911 call and the victim was rushed to a local hospital, where he is in critical condition but stable, the NYPD said.

President-elect Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that Senate Democrats will “improperly” attempt to delay the cabinet confirmation process and implored Republicans to stand up to the opposition party’s “tricks.”
With Republicans taking control of the Senate by a six-seat majority in January, Democrats will be handicapped in any effort to tank a Trump cabinet nominee unless some Republicans join them. Multiple cabinet picks — including Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard — could face fierce pushback during their confirmation hearings. The first hearings are scheduled to begin next week.
Lost: The Art of the Handshake
replies
Why do so many people not know how to shake hands properly? In my life, I have occasion to shake many hands of all different ages and classes, and am astounded how strange hand-shaking has become. It can be jarring.
The handshake is the greeting we give to a new person entering our lives, however briefly. The handshake is supposed to convey some measure of delight or interest in meeting someone new. But the handshake seems to be a lost art, perhaps because parents don't teach their children how to shake hands properly. They need to.
It’s the last day of 2024, and we’re mere weeks away from Donald Trump’s return to the White House. It honestly can’t come soon enough. There’s just so much to be excited about. While the 2020 election screwed Donald Trump, he left a lasting legacy on the judiciary. Not only did he get three Supreme Court justices, but he also transformed the judiciary by nominating a record number of judges. Trump’s term may end in four years, but his impact on the judiciary will outlast his time in Washington.

Ridiculous Plea Deals for 9/11 Masterminds

In news that is sure to stir controversy, the plea deals the Biden administration worked out with 9/11 masterminds Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others are back in effect. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who was not made aware of the plea deals when they were put into effect, tried to step in and stop them. Unfortunately, a military appeals court ruled he overstepped his bounds in doing so.
A military appeals court has ruled against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's effort to throw out the plea deals reached for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants in the 9/11 attacks, a U.S. official said.
It’s Dec. 31, and we’re all busy contemplating just what lies ahead in 2025. Some of the changes will be predictable. For instance, we will have a president who will know he’s president starting on Jan. 20.
Some of the changes, however, aren’t as heavily advertised as others — and one of them might not be as welcome as you’d like, particularly if you don’t have a so-called “Real ID.”
You’ve probably forgotten about the “Real ID.” Back in 2005 — four years after 9/11 — Congress passed an act requiring new federal standards for identification, both making the cards more secure and harder to obtain.
President Trump is not letting his enemies off the hook so quickly when it comes to their disgraceful cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline for the past several years.
The 45th and soon-to-be 47th President on Monday shared an absolutely devastating nearly three-minute montage of Democrats repeatedly praising Biden’s ‘sharpness’ before they decided he was too incompetent to run for re-election and launched a coup.
The footage starts with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing indignant that someone would even dare question Biden’s mind as she speaks to Don Lemon on CNN.

During the Covid-ridden summer of 2020, amid widespread vandalization of public monuments triggered by George Floyd’s killing, President Donald Trump issued an executive order for the creation of a National Garden of American Heroes to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It would feature honorific statues of eminent Americans from varied walks of life. The order was promptly rescinded by President Joe Biden, but after his electoral victory in November Trump promised to reinstate it as a key component of “a most spectacular birthday party.” Where the garden will be located has yet to be announced.

Democrat Stacey Abrams, the renowned voting rights activist and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, argued the U.S. was nearly “evenly divided” when President-elect Trump won the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Harris. “Donald Trump won the election, but it wasn’t a landslide,” Abrams, who lost two election bids for governor in the Peach State, said in an interview Monday with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no.” “It was less than 50 percent of the electorate who said this

Despite Fiery Defense replies
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has shifted his stance on the H-1B visa program, now calling for a “major reform” of the system just days after vowing to “go to war” in a fiery defense of the immigration program.
In a surprising reversal, Elon Musk has labeled the H-1B visa system as “broken” on Sunday and said it needs significant changes, despite loudly defending the program which allows skilled foreign workers to be employed in the U.S. The Tesla chief had clashed with supporters of former President Donald Trump in recent days over the issue of H-1B visas and immigration.
As editorial writers for a combined 90 or so years, we’ve found ourselves often trying to divine the future in addition to insightfully commenting on the present. So we thought with only a few hours left in the year, we’d look back and see if our foresight was sharp, or maybe just a bit blurry, and if our assessment of current events was on the mark.
What We Got Right
We suggested in February that Joe Biden wasn’t going to be the Democrats’ nominee in 2024. “In short,” we said, “given that the establishment left is now insisting that Biden will be the nominee makes it more likely that he won’t be.”
Puerto Rico suffered the latest in a string of widespread power outages Tuesday that has left 1.3 million customers, some 80% of the entire island, in the dark.
More than 1 million energy customers were without power across the U.S. territory since 5:30 a.m. due to an infrastructure problem at a power plant on the island's southern coast, energy company LUMA said in an update on X. LUMA said in a statement that the fault appeared to be an underground cable and that it was working with partners to restart the island's power network.
"LUMA will be restoring power to customers in phases. We’ve already begun the process of reenergizing some customers
According to Tom Fitton, General Milley met with Merrick Garland and pressured him to target domestic threats and alleged far-right militia groups. They discussed Donald Trump. Milley wanted Donald Trump and his supporters, his fellow Americans, targeted.
This is an entirely unprecedented meeting and request. What he calls far-right militia ended up being parents, Christians, and Trump supporters in general. Milley and Garland had no concern about communist-anarchist groups of Antifa and Soros-funded Black Lives Matter.
We have the military conspiring with the DoJ. They flouted FOIA to hide information about the meeting.
The Canadian government pledged to crack down on student visa abuse after Indian officials complained about a “well-planned conspiracy” that used Canadian student visas to smuggle Indian nationals into the United States.
According to India’s Directorate of Enforcement, an umbrella agency that coordinates interdepartmental investigations of money laundering, a sophisticated criminal operation in India has been systematically abusing student visas to smuggle Indians into Canada. The criminals allegedly targeted a hundred Canadian colleges and universiti
As desperate, phony, and even dangerous of a campaign Democrats ran this year, and as embarrassing as the outcome was for all of them, nobody came out looking more pathetic than Barack Obama. From 2024’s vantage point, is there any way to look at his legacy but as a tragic blight on American history?
In the final months of the campaign, Obama seemed to know the outcome of the election would say just as much about him as it would about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Donald Trump. And, like all realistic Democrats, he knew that the nominee he supported was on track to lose.
For the first time since FDR and the Great Depression, voters who identify as Republicans outnumber Democrats by a significant margin, according to data released this week by Gallup. Not just Gallup, either. Political analyst Patrick Ruffini noted Monday, "After the exit polls were reweighted to reflect the final popular vote result, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 5 points in the AP VoteCast survey and by 4 points in the network exit polls."Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1928.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order closing the federal government on Jan. 9 "as a mark of respect" for the late President Jimmy Carter.
In his proclamation announcing the passing of the 39th president, Biden also called on the American people to pay their respects on Jan. 9, the day of Carter’s funeral. “I do further appoint January 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States,” the executive order states. “I call on the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President James Earl Carter, Jr. I invite the people

As a conservative proud of the traditions and uniqueness of my nation, I have always been a monarchist. Nations which removed their monarchies rarely substituted greater political stability by doing so, and I always felt that they had lost something of themselves in the process. (Snip) Charles is a Globalist puppet who thinks he is an independent man. It’s a devastating combination both for Britain and for the monarchy. All of his views are those of the Globalist middle and upper class. All of them are harmful to the interests of Britain and the British people.
The DOGE Brothers Meet the Swamp
replies
We are coming into a New Year with a lot of excitement of feeling regarding a change of governing philosophy, from one of grotesque and profligate federal spending to one of rational cost cutting headed by the “DOGE Brothers.” The hope is that the nation will find its way out of having a federal government that acts, as it has for our lifetimes, as an abyss of plunder, and becomes instead a guardian of our property and liberty, as it should always be.
It seems President Biden won’t stop at letting his convicted son Hunter off the hook. The White House staff is reportedly pondering an unprecedented, pre-emptive set of presidential pardons for numerous officials who haven’t been formally charged or convicted of federal crimes but may be liable for indictment or conviction under the incoming Trump administration.
Prominent on that list is Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
Why Fauci? Team Biden is mum. But the most likely rationale is a possible perjury charge: Fauci testified under oath in congressional inquiries. At issue: Fauci’s responses to the crucial question of whether American
A political war on the Hudson erupted Monday over New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the MTA’s controversial $9 congestion toll.
The MTA can now begin collecting the first-in-the-nation congestion fee on Sunday, Jan. 5, to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street — following a federal judge’s ruling in Newark.
While Judge Leo Gordon said environmental mitigation concerns on the Jersey side of the Hudson have to be addressed, he chose not to issue a preliminary injunction to block implementation of the toll in his 72-page ruling.
Climate alarmists like President Joe Biden assure us that all we need do to avert the destruction of hurricanes—or at least to lessen it—is to sacrifice offerings to the climate gods by giving up our gas-guzzling internal combustion engines and paying indulgences to Al Gore or something.
You see, humans as a species have sinned, and we must sacrifice our prosperity to prevent the end of the world. Unfortunately for the alarmists, the world stubbornly refuses to end, and even the supposed evidence they trot out as proof of impending doom doesn’t exactly mean what they think it means.
Take hurricanes, for example

UnitedHealth Group is expected to smash financial records this year amid a fraught environment at the company following the cold-blooded murder of the insurance division’s CEO, Brian Thompson, according to a report.
The healthcare company’s CEO, Andrew Witty, has quietly been informing executives that the company will see record figures by the end of the year, the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend – even as he works to boost morale at the company that has faced backlash following Thompson’s Dec. 4 slaying in New York City.
“The environment we find ourselves in is a complex one, not one that was ever designed by anybody,”
The Labour government apparently does not care about Hamas terrorists promoting Hamas in London. What they do seem to care about is shutting down all criticism of Hamas. One elderly pensioner -- who expressed his disappointment that Palestinian flags were being flown all over Bethnal Green Road in East London -- was arrested for it.
Then there are the mosques where hatred and violence are preached. At Birmingham's Green Lane Mosque, for instance, the imams give lectures on how to properly stone a woman – you first bury her up to her waist – and how to kill homosexuals and apostates. Evidently, that did not bother the British government one bit.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that it is important to study MAGA to expose “the movement’s vulnerability” and defeat it.
Wallace said, “I think the study of MAGA is essential to defeat MAGA. Right? And if you want to go to the country in four years with the political movement that defeats MAGA, you have to understand MAGA. And so to me this is a story that is, the personalities in conflict, you just can’t look away, right? But the idea that one figure, and I think it’s Bannon in this case, is trying to preserve something that to him as a MAGA enforcer is,
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday that she had a “great meeting” with President-elect Trump.
“Today, President Trump and I had a great meeting to discuss our shared priorities for the President’s second term,” Bowser said in a statement on X. “President Trump and I both want Washington, DC to be the best, most beautiful city in the world and we want the capital city to reflect the strength of our nation.” It wasn’t Bowser and Trump’s first meeting.
In 2016, Bowser met with Trump at Trump Tower, where they discussed his first transition into the White House, Axios reported.
At the time, Bowser said the pair had a “wide-ranging conversation”
Gov. Hochul last week signed a new climate bill forcing fossil-fuel companies to pay $75 billion in “recovery” assessments over the next 25 years for their alleged role in causing “extreme weather.”
“It’s time for large polluters to pay their fair share,” she declared.
But the claim is an unscientific joke — and the law, passed by some of the nation’s most obtuse and know-nothing legislators, means the political class in Albany just hit the gas pedal on the Empire State’s economic demise.
Under this law, New York will “impose cost recovery demands” for extreme weather events “on responsible parties,” or fossil fuel companies,
A sure sign that New York leaders have utterly failed to made riders feel safe: The Guardian Angels are returning to the subways.
Founder Curtis Sliwa announced Sunday that the volunteer force will patrol the underground after a four-year hiatus in response to sky-high crime in the system and the vile arson murder of a suspected homeless woman on Dec. 22.
The Guardian chief said he wants to boost the group’s recruitment back up to 1970s numbers and increase training, claiming he’d “never seen” subway crime “this bad.”
As if to prove Sliwa’s point, a man’s throat was slashed during an argument on a C-train platform the next day.
A simmering debate over work visas exploded over the last days of the year, exposing a rift over immigration among President-elect Trump’s closest supporters.
The H-1B visa — a temporary, nonimmigrant work permit — is at the center of the MAGA-on-MAGA strife, with one faction claiming it’s a necessary tool to attract professional talent to the United States and the other deriding the visa program as a burden on American workers. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — the incoming chiefs of Trump’s nascent “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) — took the mantle of H-1B defenders,

Alien Criminals Will Save Taxpayers More

In testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, American Immigration Council (AIC) Senior Fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick remarked last week that mass deportations would cost “at a minimum” $316 billion.
The AIC estimates that there is an annual cost of $88 billion to deport one million illegal aliens each year. That breaks down to $7 billion for arrests, $66 billion for detentions, $12.6 billion to go through the legal process, and $2.1 billion to transport deportees out of the country. It works out to $88,000 per deportee, but the council claims this is a “highly conservative estimate.”
A top Palestinian leader told The Post he expects that President-elect Donald Trump will “destroy Iran,” which will cause remaining Hamas influence to crumble.
Hamas has been decimated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, but in the West Bank the terror group has been rising up against the Palestinian Authority, which is run by the rival Fatah party.
The Palestinian Authority is supported by western governments including the US, and Hamas and other Islamist groups accuse it of cozying up to Israel.
Palestinian security forces have been cracking down in particular at refugee camps in the West Bank town of Jenin,
A New Jersey law that removes a requirement for teachers to pass a reading, writing and mathematics test for certification will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. The law, Act 1669, was passed by Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy as part of the state’s 2025 budget in June in an effort to address a shortage of teachers in the state, according to the New Jersey Monitor. Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass a “basic skills” test administered by the state’s Commissioner of Education. “We need more teachers,”
As what’s left of the Biden administration winds down, I’d like to offer an end-of-days reminder: Joe Biden wasn’t just a terrible president.
His Attorney General Merrick Garland was an equally terrible leader of the Department of Justice.
Garland, you may recall, was nominated for the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly a few months before the 2016 election.
Republicans sat on Garland’s nomination, maintaining that the seat should be filled by a new president. We were told that this was hideously unfair and partisan, especially because, as the Obama administration
Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes is spending his time in federal prison planning legal action against the Justice Department.
Rhodes, one of the most prominent Jan. 6 defendants, is serving an 18-year sentence for seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding and destruction of evidence.
President-elect Donald Trump, however, has changed the outlook for Rhodes and others in similar circumstances, having promised pardons for Jan. 6 defendants.Rhodes told The Washington Times he is approaching his legal options “one step at a time.”
“If President Trump pardons me, I would love to sue [the Justice Department] for a 1983 claim. That’s a potential violation of civil rights. That’s a false imprisonment,”
In a move that signals a shift in priorities, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the termination of two programs aimed at providing social services to illegal immigrants, citing unsustainable costs and misalignment with the agency's core mission.One of the discontinued programs, the Wraparound Stabilization Service (WSS), was designed to offer psychosocial and behavioral health support for migrants. However, ICE noted that the program showed minimal effectiveness, with only a 2% improvement in compliance rates compared to those not receiving services. Describing the program as "immensely cost with little improvement," ICE ended referrals in July.
Across the non-left media world, it’s now an article of faith that Donald Trump’s emphatic victory is a woke watershed.
After asking petulantly for year upon year, “Now have we hit peak woke?” like children on the back seat nagging daddy “are we there yet?” we learn repeatedly from conservative outlets that the progressive lunacy that has tormented us since about 2014 (if not since 1965) has been roundly defeated.
A decisive death knell for identity politics dangles the blessed possibility of no longer squandering our brief duration on this Earth on stupid conversations and debates over whether:
This weekend, CBS News journalist Jan Crawford predicted that Trump will have the opportunity to appoint a fourth justice to the United States Supreme Court, this coming year or in the next.
If this happens, we will see another full-blown meltdown from the left. No one who was around for Trump’s first term will forget the temper tantrum the left threw over all of Trump’s prior appointments to the court.
This will simply solidify the conservative majority on the court, making it impossible for Democrats to legislate from the bench.
