Trump Hails ‘Trump Vaccine’ as ‘Greatest Bet in History’

Former President Donald Trump hailed his administration’s COVID-19 vaccine efforts – buying billions of vaccines before they were even tested for efficacy and safety – as the “greatest bet in history.”

“Most people understand we were the ones that did it,” Trump told Rita Cosby on 77 WABC AM-N.Y. in a wide-ranging interview Thursday night, noting President Joe Biden’s administration is gratuitously taking credit for the work of others.

Trump’s Operation Warp Speed pushed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to get the vaccines researched, developed, tested, approved, and distributed in nine months – and that work was not without risk.

“I did something which was maybe the greatest bet ever made in history, in a sense, because I bought billions and billions of dollars of the vaccine, before it was approved, before they knew for sure that it was going to work,” Trump told Cosby. “We had an idea, but we didn’t know for sure, and I bought billions. You wouldn’t have had your vaccines until October of this year, so nobody would have been vaccinated. I bought it before it was approved. And that was a big bet.

Liberals Should Learn From Weak Jobs Report That Incentives Matter

“Experts” predicted 1 million jobs would be created in April. The actual number fell far short, at 266,000. Republicans warned that overly generous COVID-19 relief benefits create a disincentive to work.

The day before this disappointing jobs report, Bloomberg wrote:

In earnings calls and business surveys, executives often blame stimulus checks and generous unemployment benefits for hampering hiring efforts. …

Friday’s employment report, which is projected to show the economy added 1 million jobs in April, should offer new insight into this mismatch and whether it’s deterring growth.

When the numbers came in, Biden administration officials lacked no shortage of excuses. Some potential workers, they argued, feared going back to work because of COVID-19; many schools had still yet to resume in-school learning, particularly burdensome for single parents; we’re still early in the bounce back from the COVID-19-stricken economy; one month’s worth of numbers does not a story tell; and employers just need to raise wages.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh urged perspective: “Well, you know, under normal circumstances, and certainly we’re not living in normal circumstances, the 266,000 job gain a month is a good number. Unfortunately, we’re still in the midst of a pandemic.”

President Joe Biden rejected the elephant-in-the-room possible explanation for the disappointingly low April job numbers—that the generous provisions in the COVID-19 relief packages, coupled with state and local aid, create a disincentive for people to go back to work. Biden dismissed “loose talk that Americans just don’t want to work. … The data shows that more workers are looking for jobs, and many can’t find them.”

Radio host corners Richard Dawkins for telling woman to abort baby with Down Syndrome — then forces him into an admission

Richard Dawkins is an outspoken atheist.

British radio host Brendan O’Connor confronted atheist Richard Dawkins last week over a controversial comment the world-famous scientist made about babies with Down Syndrome seven years ago.

In the end, O’Connor forced Dawkins into somewhat recanting.

What is the background?

Dawkins ignited controversy in August 2014 when he told a woman that it would be “immoral” to birth a child with Down Syndrome.

“Abort it and try again. It would be immoral to bring it into the world if you have the choice,” Dawkins said.

Biden tells Americans to ‘get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do’

A befuddled Biden flubbed while attempting to record a 4-word video message. He read the teleprompter incorrectly, delivering a strange, nonsensical declaration: “Vax-ed, or masked.”

After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidance allowing those who have received the COVID-19 vaccination to ditch their masks, President Joe Biden took to social media to issue a strongly worded ultimatum to the American people.

“The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do,” declared the President. “The choice is yours.”

In a subsequent Twitter video, Biden sat on the edge of his Oval Office desk and made his ultimatum clearer, saying simply, “It’s vaxxed, or masked.”

Alex Marlow’s Investigative Bombshell ‘Breaking the News’ Has Over 105 Pages of Source Material, 1,206 Endnotes

The forthcoming investigative blockbuster by Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, which details “the incestuous nature of the establishment media elite and America’s ideological Left,” contains 1,206 endnotes, resulting in 105 pages of source material.

The thoroughly researched book is based on hard evidence, including hundreds of articles, many of which were originally reported by Breitbart News, and direct quotes from key personalities across social media.

“I spent a year conducting deep-dive research to unearth the stories the Establishment Media doesn’t want Americans to know,” Marlow said. “That’s why the book contains 1,206 endnotes totaling over 100 pages of source materials.”

In a recent interview with America First radio show host Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Marlow explained his goal of exposing corporate media corruption.

“I didn’t want to write just a memoir — and there’s a small amount of memoir in this — but for the vast majority of it is new information based off of deep dive research into our corporate media establishment,” Marlow said.

  • Notably, Princess Michael had already battled COVID in November but took the jab anyway.

Amid ongoing global vaccination efforts, the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has stood out for its side effects, with health authorities around the world reporting dozens of cases of potentially lethal blood clots in the brain. Dozens of nations have temporarily restricted the jab’s use, or issued updated guidelines for the preparation’s use.

Princess Michael of Kent has been ill for a month and is suffering from blood clots after getting her two doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, The Sun reports, citing a source close to the princess.

Liberal hosts Shep Smith, Chris Cuomo and Trevor Noah rip CDC Director on mixed mask messaging BEFORE agency relaxed indoor guidelines for vaccinated people

  • Liberal hosts grilled CDC Chief Dr. Walensky on the point of masks after vaccination  
  • Interview’s were hours before CDC’s announcement that it’s now safe for vaccinated Americans to take off their masks inside and out
  • CNN host Chris Cuomo accused CDC Director Dr. Walensky of ‘playing it too safe’
  • Right-wing hosts like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have been calling for guidance for the end to masks

CDC Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, was grilled by liberal hosts about the agency’s mask guidelines, one day before it said fully vaccinated people don’t have to wear them indoors anymore.

MSNBC’s Shep Smith, CNN‘s Chris Cuomo and The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah all slammed the mixed messaging that has been coming out of the CDC in recent weeks, despite 45 per cent of U.S. adult population being fully vaccinated, with nearly 60 per cent having had at least their first dose.

Indeed, just yesterday, a new report accused the CDC of exaggerating the risk of outdoor transmission, saying it was 10 per cent, when in fact it is really less than one per cent.

US Historian Who Consulted Reagan Says US Media Untrustworthy, ‘All Lies’

US media are not trustworthy at the moment, telling “all lies now, all the time,” Suzanne Massie, a US historian who advised President Ronald Reagan on Russia, told Russian media.

“We cannot read our own media because it is all lies now, all the time,” Massie said, as quoted by the broadcaster.

The historian is critical of incumbent US president, Joe Biden, too.

“He is someone who is not a president. He is a puppet,” she said, adding that Washington is “a swamp” now.

Suzanne Massie, has traveled to Moscow to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin for a Russian passport.

“I devoted many years of my life to bringing the peoples of the United States and Russia closer to one another. It is utterly important and necessary for me today to stay in Russia in order to continue my cause. If President Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] finds it possible to grant me Russian citizenship, it will be an honor for me,” Massie said in an interview.

She believes that the current US administration has no interest in and intention of trying to mend ties because they need Russia to serve as an “external enemy” figure. Vocally critical of US President Joe Biden, Massie accused his administration of keeping own citizens in the dark and allowing major US media to manipulate information.

Jayapal: Republicans Denying Capitol Riot Is ‘Biggest Threat to Our National Security’

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that Republicans who deny the severity of the riot inside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6 was “the biggest threat to our national security and our democracy that we’re facing now.”

Capehart said, “Your reaction to statements that were made durning hearings early last week about the January 6 insurrection?”

Referencing Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) saying last week at a House Oversight Committee hearing that some people inside the Capitol behaved as if they were on “a normal tourist visit,” Capehart said, “I can’t remember a particular member of Congress who said it was no big deal, it was like any old other day of  people taking tours of the Capitol.”

Tesla Hit With Class-Action Lawsuit Over Huge Solar Roof Price Hikes

Last month, Tesla revealed to its Solar Roof customers that it would be raising the price of the feature due to “added adjustments for individual roof complexity.” Since then, a number of customers have taken the company to court, including one Pennsylvania couple who claimed their initial contract went from $46,084.80 to $78,352.66.

Tesla, Inc. was slapped with a class-action lawsuit on Thursday claiming the California-based electric vehicle and clean energy company pulled a bait-and-switch on Solar Roof customers, Business Insider reported. 

The suit detailed that plaintiff Matthew Adams, an associate professor of clinical radiology at the University of California San Francisco, initially signed a Solar Roof contract in June 2020 and agreed to pay $71,662.06. 

However, when April rolled around, Tesla informed him that he would have to pay $146,462.22 – more than double the original amount.

Adams told Insider that a Tesla representative reached out to him about his contract and offered a free Powerwall storage battery – Tesla’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery. 

“Basically a $5,000 price cut off of the $76,000 price hike,” he said.
