Fauci Admits He’s ‘Not Convinced’ COVID-19 Is Natural

Shortly after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., grilled a squirming Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing on gain of function research, Wuhan Institute of Virology funding, and a potential for a lab accident, Fauci quietly offered some stunning admissions to Politifact.

First, he now admits he is “not convinced” COVID-19 developed naturally; second, perhaps equally alarmingly, he admits the U.S. engaged with and helped fund Chinese scientists on studying coronaviruses.

“No, I am not convinced about that [COVID-19 having a natural origin],” Fauci told Politifact’s Katie Sanders at a virtual event called “United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking” (around 11 minutes in).

“I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened.

“Certainly, the people who investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else, and we need to find that out. So, you know, that’s the reason why I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.”

That latter point did echo Fauci’s comments to Paul during Senate testimony, but coincidentally, a Politifact forum actually did not fact check Fauci on some other admissions that did not jibe with his Senate testimony in the exchange with Paul.

Paul grilled Fauci on whether the U.S. helped fund and research coronaviruses with China, and Fauci admitted to precisely that, suggesting it would be “irresponsible” to not have done it.

“No actually, that’s the point that I said,” Fauci said of the need to investigate the origins of COVID-19, “and I think the real unfortunate aspect of what Sen. Paul did is he conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists, which is you almost have to say, if we did not do that, we would almost be irresponsible, because SARS-CoV-1 clearly originated in China and we were fortunate to escape a major pandemic.

Tom Cotton Shreds Military’s Woke New Direction, Reveals What Foreign Intel Services Are Now Seeing

It wasn’t too long ago that most Americans had no idea what critical race theory was. At least I didn’t.

Now, the term is everywhere. It is the idea that American racism has shaped every institution and norm in our lives. White people are the oppressors and have led lives of privilege and people of color are the oppressed who have always operated from a point of disadvantage in America. Suddenly this ideology is finding its way into every aspect of our lives.

It is divisive and destructive, but nowhere is it more dangerous than in the military.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas joined Breitbart News’ Alex Marlow on Marlow’s Friday radio show to discuss the impact of critical race theory on our military, our government and our foreign policy.

Cotton served as a U.S. Army officer for four years and afterward, in the Army Reserves. He also completed several overseas deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Marlow asked the senator to address the new woke direction the military has taken.

If you don’t ‘resign for diversity,’ does that make you racist?

A meme was shared as a joke, saying that white people who believe in social justice should “resign for diversity.” But while it seems insane right off the bat, it is not a new concept.

A meme was shared as a joke, saying that white people who believe in social justice should “resign for diversity.” It was taken up by conservative thinkers and free speech absolutists who undoubtedly believe the opposite. But while it seems insane right off the bat, something that would likely give the lie to a social justice movement advocated for by white people who are unwilling to give up their own power, influence, or even careers, it is not a new concept.

Social justice activists and pundits have been suggesting for some time that white people should not just step back from the public conversation to give space to diverse voices, etc., but should leave it entirely.

It’s not new, but it’s certainly kicked into high gear—this idea that white people, by virtue of the ancestral sins of their race and the contemporary crime of blindly accepting and acting on their societal privilege, should step back from their positions of leadership.

A column by Sohum Pal in a 2017 issue of Yale News instructed: “White students: Take a few steps back. You already know: when we enter white-dominated spaces, we take on the implicit roles of leadership, expending invaluable emotional and intellectual labor. It is time we were given the titles and power we deserve.”

An AMS blog in the same year told white people, specifically “white cis het” men: “Not to alarm you, but I probably want you to quit your job, or at least take a demotion. Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else. If you are a white cis man […] you almost certainly should resign from your position of power. That’s right, please quit. Too difficult? Well, as a first step, at least get off your hiring committee, your curriculum committee, and make sure you’re replaced by a woman of color or trans person.”

Confidence in Fauci Plunges: Quarter of Americans Say Coronavirus Pandemic is Over

Americans’ confidence in Dr. Anthony Fauci has plunged in the last year, according to a new poll from The Convention of States Action and The Trafalgar Group.

The survey of 1,093 likely general election voters conducted between May 16 and May 18 found that people aren’t as enamored with Fauci’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as they used to be.

The survey asked participants: “Has your confidence in Dr. Fauci gone up or down in the past year?” There were 42.2% of respondents who said their confidence in Fauci has “decreased significantly” or “decreased” in the last year. There were 26.1% who said their opinion of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was “unchanged” over the last 12 months.

There were 9.1% of those polled who said their opinion of the member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force “increased,” and 13% said their faith in Fauci “increased significantly.”

As expected, there was a major difference of opinion of Fauci along party lines. There were 61.1% of Republicans who had their confidence in Fauci “decrease” or “decrease significantly” in the past year. Meanwhile, only 20% of Democrats had their opinion of Fauci “decrease” or “decrease significantly” since last year.

“Since the beginning, Dr. Anthony Fauci has served as the face of, and has set the tone for, Washington’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Voters are wisely deciding for themselves and ignoring D.C.,” Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action, a nonprofit that aims to “bring power back to the states and the people,” said.

In February, Americans had a very favorable view of Dr. Fauci. A Morning Consult/Politico poll from February found that 60% of respondents said Fauci had handled the coronavirus pandemic “excellent” or “good,” while only 17% said he had done a “poor” job at the time.

One World Government Part 11

China Plans to Use Biological and Genetic Weapons in Next World War

Documents obtained by the Department of State (DOS) revealed that Chinese scientists have been preparing for a third world war fought with biological and genetic weapons, including coronaviruses, since 2015. According to the document, they will be “the core weapon for victory” in a conflict of that magnitude.

Titled “New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons,” the documents outlined the perfect conditions to release a bioweapon and documented the impact it would have on the enemy’s medical system.

Analysts determined that the set of documents has 18 authors working at “high-risk” labs.

Attacks using bioweapons should not be carried out in the middle of a clear day as intense sunlight can damage the pathogens while rain or snow can affect the aerosol particles, according to the authors. (Related: BIOWARFARE: Chinese communists “intentionally” unleashed “Frankenstein” COVID-19, says Wuhan scientist.)

Instead, it should be released at night, dusk, dawn or under cloudy weather with “a stable wind direction so that the aerosol can float into the target area.”

The authors also noted that such an attack would result in a surge of patients requiring hospital treatment, which “could cause the enemy’s medical system to collapse.”

Next world war “will be biological”

The documents’ authors insisted that the next world war “will be biological,” unlike the first two wars which were described as chemical and nuclear respectively. “Following developments in other scientific fields, there have been major advances in the delivery of biological agents,” the authors wrote.

“For example, the new-found ability to freeze-dry microorganisms has made it possible to store biological agents and aerosolize them during attacks.”

The reports made by People’s Liberation Army (PLA) scientists and health officials examined the manipulation of diseases to make weapons “in a way never seen before.”

This brings up China’s alleged gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Gain-of-function research refers to the serial passaging of microorganisms to increase their transmissibility, virulence, immunogenicity and host tropism by applying selective pressure to a culture.

The WIV has been collecting numerous coronaviruses from bats ever since the SARS outbreak in 2002.  The lab is just eight miles from the Huanan wet market, which is where the first cluster of infections erupted in Wuhan.

Scientists at WIV work with Chinese military

Scientists studying bat diseases at WIV were engaged in a massive project to investigate animal viruses alongside leading military officials – despite the country’s denials of any such links. A fact sheet released by the DOS stated that WIV “has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.”

DeSantis Against Critical Race Theory: ‘Offensive’ to Teach Taxpayers’ Kids to ‘Hate Their Country’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday vowed to take action against left-wing efforts to advance critical race theory — a divisive method of teaching focusing on race — explaining it is actually “offensive” to ask taxpayers to fund “teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other.”

Speaking to reporters in Pensacola on Friday, where he signed “tax holidays” into law, DeSantis expressed his vehement opposition to critical race theory and vowed that it will not be embraced in the Sunshine State.

“The Florida Board of Education is meeting and they are addressing this. And I told them they need to address this, and we’ve got to do it,” DeSantis said.

“I mean, first of all, it’s offensive — here we are celebrating tax savings — it’s offensive to the taxpayer that they would be asked to fund critical race theory,” DeSantis said, “that they would be asked to fund teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other,” he continued, prompting applause.

The Republican governor also highlighted the fundamental flaws in critical race theory, explaining it is based on “false history.”

“It’s also based on false history when they try to look back and denigrate the Founding Fathers, denigrate the American Revolution, doing all these different things that even very liberal historians say is not supported by the facts,” he explained, stating the Constitution needs to be brought back into classrooms.

“We need to make sure civics is a priority, but it needs to be taught accurately. It needs to be taught in a fact-based way. Not an ideological-based way, and if we have to play whack-a-mole all over this state, stopping this critical race theory, we will do it,” he said, triggering another round of applause.

“We’ll be taking action,” he promised. “Don’t you worry.”

Judge Rules Against Christian College Suing Biden Administration Over Trans Mandate

Judge: Biden’s co-ed dorm mandate trumps religious freedom

A district judge rejected a challenge to the Biden administration’s order to force co-ed bathrooms and dorms on a Christian college over the school’s religious objections.

In February, the Department of Housing and Urban Development directed collegesto eliminate single-sex facilities. The directive came after President Joe Biden issued an executive order in January directing federal agencies “to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,” which would mean targeting religious institutions that maintain single-sex accommodations. The College of the Ozarks, a small Missouri Christian college, challenged the Biden administration for violating its religious rights in April.

On Wednesday, Western District of Missouri judge Roseann Ketchmark declined to temporarily halt the policy’s implementation in the face of the school’s religious objections. Alliance Defending Freedom, the religious liberty law firm arguing the case on behalf of the school, expressed dismay at the ruling and said the decision is likely to be appealed.

“Following the whims of special interest groups, lobbyists, and politicians, the administration is attempting to redefine the word ‘sex’ in federal law to mean sexual orientation and gender identity, rather than biological sex as that word has always been understood,” ADF senior counsel Ryan Bangert said. “As this case demonstrates, the administration’s twisting of words is threatening foundational liberties.”

Antifa Activist Who Sold Footage Of Jan. 6 To CNN, NBC, Had $90,000 Seized By Feds

John Sullivan, the Antifa activist who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and sold footage to CNN, had $90,000 seized by authorities.

John Sullivan, the Antifa and BLM activist who stormed the Capitol on January 6 while disguised in Trump 2020 gear and captured video of the Capitol Police shooting of Ashli Babbitt has had $90,000 – ostensibly the funds he was paid by mainstream media outlets for his viral footage from the day – seized by the federal government.

Sullivan, who posted videos watermarked with Jayden X on social media, claims he stormed the U.S. Capitol – disguised as a supporter of President Donald Trump – in an effort to “document” the civil unrest. “I wanted to be able to tell a part of history,” Sullivan claimed in January. Speaking to the media, he seemingly acknowledged that Black Lives Matter and Antifa were present during the civil unrest, but claimed that “It’s just recording, solely, and not being active in it.” It was later reported that Sullivan sold his footage of the civil unrest to both CNN and NBC for $35,000 apiece.

Grandmother arrested after not wearing face mask at school board meeting: ‘You’re not enforcing laws’

Kate Bossi, a grandmother and Sunday school teacher from New Hampshire, was arrested on Thursday after refusing to wear a face mask at a school board meeting.

Just moments after Bossi arrived at the Timberlane Regional School Board meeting to demand that children no longer be required to wear face masks in school, police arrested Bossi for refusing to wear a face mask.

Video of the incident shows police officers forcibly arrest Bossi after she entered an auditorium without wearing a mask.

“You are violating my rights right now. You are remiss,” Bossi said.

Another man shouted, “Come on Sgt. Porter, you know this is wrong what they’re doing to our kids,” according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.

Jackie Wydola, the daughter of Bossi, also told officers, “Are you seriously doing this you guys. This is law enforcement. You’re not enforcing laws, you’re enforcing policy. That doesn’t matter.”

The meeting was planned to be held in-person, but was ultimately held remotely. “I didn’t want to jeopardize the health of the staff and the students,” school board chairwoman Kimberly Farah told the Union Leader, referring to maskless people.
