Oh, Come On! NOW Media’s ‘Surprised’ Fauci Lied About Social Distancing?

Every once in awhile, when I’m on the radio, I tell the story about how I first heard of so-called social distancing during COVID. Early in the pandemic, at a White House presser, the scarf queen, Dr. Deborah Birx, said they just sorta kinda made up that whole six-foot thing. Birx said something like, Well, we thought we’d just double the distance suggested for most illnesses. Fauci was in on the conception of the life-altering lunacy. They were spitballing, pure and simple. The media were there for the presser. But that origin story was sucked into a Super Massive black memory hole to make room for more Fauci worship.

Canadians worry U.S. democracy cannot survive Trump’s reelection … but Trump is more popular among Canadians than Trudeau

Canadians worry U.S. democracy cannot survive Trump’s return to White House, poll finds

OTTAWA – About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.

The November U.S. election is likely to pit President Joe Biden against Trump, who is the clear frontrunner to win the Republican nomination as voting in the presidential primary race kicks off in Iowa on Monday.

FIRST READING: Trump is more popular among Canadians than Trudeau (and what that means)

Biden was the clear victor at 67 per cent, but Trump came in with the unusually high support of 33 per cent of Canadian respondents.

That’s higher than the current approval rating for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which the Angus Reid Institute last pegged at 31 per cent. It’s also slightly higher than the percentage by which Trudeau won his last federal election; the Liberals secured their minority government in 2021 with just 32.62 per cent of ballots cast.

White Men Don’t Want To Join An Army That Tells Them They Aren’t Wanted

The U.S. Army is experiencing a sharp decline in the number of white recruits it’s bringing into the service, a new report found.

According to data analyzed by Military.com, “A total of 44,042 new Army recruits were categorized by the service as white in 2018, but that number has fallen consistently each year to a low of 25,070 in 2023, with a 6% dip from 2022 to 2023 being the most significant drop.” The report further noted how “[n]o other demographic group” has experienced such a downward trend in recent years, and that the “rate at which white recruitment has fallen far outpaces nationwide demographic shifts.”

Small Town, USA learns the hard way that welcoming lawbreakers has negative consequences

At this point, Joe Biden and the Bidenites don’t just have a little blood on their hands, they’re bathing in it.

A few days back, AT published an essay by contributor C.S. Boddie that highlighted a recent tragedy in Colorado: an illegal alien, who had been deported four times before, killed a mother and her 16-year-old son, as he drove (allegedly) completely inebriated near a high school. The illegal had four “alcohol-related driving” convictions under his belt, and just days before, he’d received probation, community service, and work release from a Colorado judge; Boddie’s piece also included a number of other “chilling” examples underscoring the deadly consequences of admitting millions of scofflaws.

Phony Fauci fesses up on fake science and COVID flim-flam

Former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci gave closed-door testimony before Congress last week, so it’s time yet again for the Fauci Follies!

The pint-size patron saint of the failed restrictionist policies that lefties and COVID crazies love simply can’t admit he’s lost a massive argument with reality.

The Not-So-Good Doctor got off to a weak start in DC, surprising House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) with “how much he doesn’t recall” from the start of the pandemic.

Barbra Streisand’s film company pocketed $200K in small business pandemic cash — and paid gardener at her $20M mansion

Barbra Streisand’s film company, which pays the groundskeeper at her $20 million mansion, got $200,000 in PPP money intended to help small businesses make payroll written off, The Post has learned.

The multimillionaire star’s Barwood Films Ltd. received loans from the Paycheck Protection Program in 2020 and 2021 — then had them written off by the federal government.

Understandable, she’s a wealthy Hollywood Democrat party donor so it’s natural she feels entitled to tax payer money.

A Legitimate Justice System Would Jail ‘Intifada’ Vandals, Not Pro-Lifers

Muslims desecrate American War Memorial

The Biden administration’s two-tiered justice system struck again this week when it did nothing to punish pro-Hamas protestors who defaced a U.S. military cemetery.

The vandals were caught on camera spray-painting the walls of the Los Angeles National Cemetery memorial with anti-Israel rhetoric such as “Free Gaza” and “Intifada.”

This once-safe, picturesque, all-American Wisconsin town has turned into an unsafe sh*thole, thanks to illegals…

Another one bites the dust, and we’re not referencing the classic Queen song here. This time, it’s about yet another nostalgic, quintessentially American small town losing its charm. This time, illegals have taken over and destroyed the town of Whitewater, Wisconsin, a once lovely place to call home that has turned into a den of grime and inequity.

Must ‘Western Civilization’ Be Synonymous With Decline?

There’s a funny clip from the TV series The Young Pope, in which Pius XII, a brash, cynical American played by Jude Law, hosts in his office the Vatican’s new marketing chief. She tells the pontiff that she was educated at Harvard.

“The word ‘Harvard’ may impress people around here,” the pope sneers, “but to an American, it means one thing only: decline.”

Millionaire conwoman, 57, is accused of bilking US Army out of over $100 MILLION

A millionaire conwoman has been accused of swindling the US Army out of $100million over six years by putting cash into her fake military youth business and splurging it on 31 homes and more than 70 supercars and motorcycles.

Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, allegedly took military funds and spent millions of dollars on jewelry, clothing, luxury vehicles and real estate in one of the biggest fraud cases the military has ever dealt with.

Mello worked for the US Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas as a CYS Financial Program Manager.

Will Iraq finally push US troops out because of Gaza?

The Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza offers Iraq “a historic opportunity,” Hassan Nasrallah, the influential leader of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, said in his speech late last week.

Hezbollah is a political and military organization based in Lebanon and is opposed to Israel. As such, it is part of a network of groups in the region, which Iran supports to one degree or another, that feel the same way about Israel. That includes the Houthis in Yemen and various paramilitary groups in Iraq.

As Nasrallah said in his speech, all of these groups have been “distracting the enemy” during the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Taming the media – Handle the press on your terms, not theirs

The Bezos Post sent Meryl Kornfield to the cornfields of Iowa to get a quote from Vivek Ramaswamy so she could write that he’s a white supremacist. She made the mistake of asking him the question in public, at a Ramaswamy rally, because that gave him the opportunity to humiliate her in public.

And he did.

The Cuban spying case that has shocked the US government

When the former US ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, was arrested in Miami recently and charged by his previous employer – the US government – with having spent more than 40 years as a Cuban agent, it amounted to one of the biggest spying scandals involving the communist-run island this century.

The US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, called Mr Rocha’s alleged crimes “one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the US government by a foreign agent”.

While Manuel Rocha is yet to enter a plea, many observers remain baffled as to how he could have risen so high in the US diplomatic service while evading detection for so long, apparently honing a reputation as a hard-nosed conservative while secretly harbouring a deep-seated allegiance to the Cuban Revolution.
