Despite his past affiliations with segregationists, his offensive, racist rhetoric, his cheating in law school, and plagiarism during his presidential campaign, “Liar-in-Chief” Joe Biden just keeps getting a pass with mainstream media, asserted BlazeTV host Mark Levin on the latest episode of “LevinTV.”
“He’s a man with a massive ego and a very low IQ … but he found that in politics that could work,” Levin said of Biden. “And this has carried him through most of his life.”
Levin exposed a laundry list of “Jim Crow Joe’s” lies, scams, cover-ups, and hypocrisy — not to mention his many blatantly racist statements and actions throughout his lifelong career in politics.
Then, with an eye-opening exposé about voter ID from Ami Horowitz, he revealed the disgusting lies and rhetoric spread by the Democratic Party and their contempt for people of color.

President Biden’s Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk spoke at a Chinese Communist Party-sponsored energy conference and gave an exclusive interview to a state-run media outlet where he praised the communist country’s efforts in energy development.
Turk, also an alum of the Obama administration, was the Deputy Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2018 at the time of the conference. The 2018 China International Energy Industry Expo (CIEI) was hosted in the city of Taiyuan and was “established with the approval of the State Council” and “jointly sponsored” by two Chinese government entities: the Ministry of Commerce and the Shanxi provincial government.
The event boasts it is”the only state-level, international and professional exhibition in the energy industry field approved by the State Council.” “With the instruction spirit of “striving to be the vanguard of national energy revolution”, ” in accordance with the new concept of innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing actively, the fair aims to become the a new platform for international energy exchange and cooperation,” a summary adds.
The Twitter account @blackhousenews posted a tweet calling looting and theft “[a]cts of material liberation,” and insisting that such acts “should not be filmed.”
Marxists.org defines Communism as “the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.”
“The Communist Manifesto had, as its object, the proclamation of the inevitable impending dissolution of modern bourgeois property,” reads the preface to Karl Marx’s Communist manifesto.
And the following terrifying line appears in the body of Marx’s work:
“In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”
There is no question that today’s political left is possessed by Marxist ideology, an ideology that has led to the death of 100 million people in the last century or so, according to the Wall Street Journal:
“If we add to this list the deaths caused by communist regimes that the Soviet Union created and supported—including those in Eastern Europe, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia—the total number of victims is closer to 100 million. That makes communism the greatest catastrophe in human history.”
Israeli researchers found people who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine were eight times more likely to be infected with the South African variant, and people who received one dose of the vaccine were more likely to get the UK variant.
A new study by Israeli researchers found that a South African variant of COVID may put people who have been vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at higher risk of breakthrough infection compared to unvaccinated people.
The study also showed an increased incidence of the UK variant in those who received one dose of the Pfizer shot.
A team from Tel Aviv University found that the South Africa variant among patients who received both doses of the vaccine was around eight times higher than those unvaccinated – 5.4% versus 0.7%. https://t.co/8QIdCVlnni

The study, released April 10, reviewed the positive COVID-19 test results of 800 people — 400 people who tested positive for COVID 14 days or more after they received one or two doses of the Pfizer vaccine against 400 unvaccinated people to see if those vaccinated were more likely to be infected with the UK or South African variant compared with unvaccinated individuals.
The South African variant, B.1.351, was found to make up about 1% of all COVID cases across all the people studied, according to the study by Tel Aviv University and Israel’s largest healthcare provider, Clalit.
But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variant’s prevalence rate was eight times higher than in those unvaccinated — 5.4% versus 0.7%, Reuters reported.
The research suggests the vaccine is less effective against the South African variant, compared with the original COVID variant and a variant first identified in Britain that had comprised nearly all COVID cases in Israel, researchers said.
“We found a disproportionately higher rate of the South African variant among people vaccinated with a second dose, compared to the unvaccinated group,” said Tel Aviv University’s Adi Stern, who headed the research. “This means that the South African variant is able, to some extent, to break through the vaccine’s protection.”
“Based on patterns in the general population, we would have expected just one case of the South African variant, but we saw eight,” Stern told The Times of Israel. “Obviously, this result didn’t make me happy.”
However, Stern said that the sample size was too small to put a figure on its increased ability. “We can say it’s less effective, but more research is needed to establish exactly how much,” she said.
The study also examined the UK B.1.1.7 variant’s ability to break through the Pfizer vaccine’s defenses compared to the original strain. No difference was found in the UK variant’s ability to infect fully vaccinated individuals — those who received two doses. However, the study showed an increased incidence of the UK variant in those who had received only one dose of Pfizer’s vaccine.
If vaccines don’t protect us or the people around us, why should we take them?
Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on MSNBC telling viewers that it’s still not ‘OK’ for people to gather indoors even if they’ve been vaccinated.
“And if you are vaccinated, please remember that you still have to be careful and not get involved in crowded situations, particularly indoors where people are not wearing masks,” Fauci said.

Anthony Fauci, one of President Joe Biden’s top COVID-19 advisers, admitted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not always rely on scientific data and evidence to inform its coronavirus mitigation guidelines.
Fauci conceded the fact on Wednesday after a CNN anchor pressed him on why the Biden administration and public health organization are still advising people who have received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine not to travel.
“They’re being careful, understandably. They want to get science, they want to get data, and then when you don’t have the data and you don’t have the actual evidence, then you’ve got to make a judgment call,” Fauci explained.
Fauci, asked “what’s the science” for denying vaccinated Americans a return to travel, can’t explain.

When people say “follow the science,” often what they’re really saying is “follow our plan.”
On his first day as president, Joe Biden, flanked by a portrait of Ben Franklin, called on the federal government to “advance environmental justice” and “be guided by the best science.”
In many ways, Biden’s words came as no surprise.
Throughout the 2020 campaign and after, Biden had often repeated the phrases “listen to the science” and “I believe in science,” presumably to contrast himself with his opponent.
Biden didn’t stop there, however. He included the mantra in one of the first executive orders he signed, noting that it would be his administration’s official policy to “listen to the science.”
The phrase seems harmless enough. The scientific method is highly trusted, and for good reason. It has been a boon to humanity and helped bring about many of the marvels of our modern world.
Yet distinguished thinkers new and old have warned us to proceed with caution when confronted with pleas to “listen to the science.”
"Never will man penetrate deeper into error than when he is continuing on a road which has led him to great success. And never can pride in the achievements of the natural sciences … have been more justified than at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries."- F.A. Hayek
The economist Ludwig von Mises once observed the problem with using scientific claims to shape the modern world. He suggested that in many cases people invoke science simply to tell people what they must do.
“The planners pretend that their plans are scientific and that there cannot be disagreement with regard to them among well-intentioned and decent people,” Mises wrote in his 1947 essay “Planned Chaos.”
Most people agree that science is a useful tool, and Mises was certainly one of them. The problem Mises was getting at was that science can’t actually tell us what we should do, which is the realm of subjective value judgments. Science can only tell us what is.
“[T]here is no such thing as a scientific ought,” Mises wrote, echoing a famous argument by David Hume. “Science is competent to establish what is.” (For a deeper dive on the is-ought problem, read Hume’s celebrated 1729 work, A Treatise on Human Nature.)
The economist continued:
“[Science] can never dictate what ought to be and what ends people should aim at. It is a fact that men disagree in their value judgments. It is insolent to arrogate to oneself the right to overrule the plans of other people and to force them to submit to the plan of the planner.”
“The planners pretend that their plans are scientific and that there cannot be disagreement with regard to them among well-intentioned and decent people. However, there is no such thing as a scientific ought. Science is competent to establish what is." -Ludwig von Mises, 1947
Former U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that his new book, “Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty,” will examine “hostility to religious tradition” in society.”
Starr said on “National Report” that “there’s so many governors who decided hey, for whatever reason, I’m not going to get into motivation, you know, we’re really gonna crack down on churches’ religious worship. One of the worst was New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He actually limited, in certain sections of the city, attendance to 10 people. Well, that’s practically a house church or a home church, and even the governor of California was trying to limit of the home bible studies all in the name of public health.”
He added, “But they went too far and the good news is, and this is this is a news flash for all of us, we’ve got to be prepared to stand up, to be courageous, and to fight for our religious liberty. The good news is the Supreme Court of the United States has been very responsive, sometimes unanimously, to claims of religious freedom. But the culture has become quite hostile to religious liberty … The purpose of the book is to give individuals, pastors, but also just individuals, the tools to say, ‘no, here are the principles in our constitutional order. This isn’t just my opinion. I’m speaking, with all due respect, from the voice of the Supreme Court of the United States over decades, including the voice of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.'”
When asked about what he meant by the culture becoming hostile to religious liberties, Starr said, “We’re seeing objections to the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic order, not providing contraceptives to their employees.”
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said that Costco has stopped selling his products, becoming the latest in a string of retailers to do so.
Lindell told the New York Post that Costco has not provided him a reason for the move. According to a search of Costco’s website, MyPillow products are not listed.
“Costco basically did a slow cancellation, slower than the other stores,” Lindell said, adding that Costco’s decision will cost MyPillow between $4 million and $10 million annually.
What’s more, he said, about 40 sales staff will be affected by the decision.
Lindell, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, said he believes Costco is engaging in “cancel culture” and following the influence of other companies that won’t sell his products anymore.
Costco “said they were going to discontinue us but they were going to honor their contract, which I’m not sure what that means,” Lindell said, according to the NY Post.
The Epoch Times has contacted Costco for comment.
Previously, the Kirkland, Washington-based retailer told Newsweek that it has “contractual commitments to MyPillow that we intend to honor, as we seek to do with all of our suppliers.”
In February, Lindell told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that two-dozen retailers have pulled his products from their shelves.
Sam’s Club, Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kroger, and JCPenney have also reportedly stopped selling MyPillow products.
Former President Donald Trump reacted to White House plans to create a commission that would, among other proposals, study potentially expanding the Supreme Court.
Trump said that because the high court did not hear election-related cases after Nov. 3, the justices on the Supreme Court will “get what they deserve” if it is expanded.
Of the Supreme Court, “Now there is a very good chance they will be diluted (and moved throughout the court system so that they can see how the lower courts work), with many new Justices added to the Court, far more than has been reported. There is also a good chance that they will be term-limited,” Trump said, as he made claims of election fraud during the Nov. 3 election.
“Our politically correct Supreme Court will get what they deserve—an unconstitutionally elected group of Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country,” he added in his statement.
Last week, the White House released a statement saying President Joe Biden would create a commission that would look into possibly expanding—or “packing”—the Supreme Court and term limits for justices. The commission is headed by two former Obama administration officials.
“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals,” said the White House. “The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices.”
Deficit for first half of budget year was up from $743.5B in the year-ago period
The U.S. budget deficit ballooned to a record $1.7 trillion in the first half of the fiscal year as a third round of stimulus checks included in President Biden’s coronavirus relief package sent federal spending skyrocketing.
The deficit for the first half of the budget year, from October through March, was up from $743.5 billion in the year-ago period, the Treasury Department said Monday.
In March, the gap between what the government spent and what it collected hit $660 billion, nearly four times what it was one year ago. Revenue rose to $268 billion last month, while spending increased by 161% to $927 billion – the third-highest total on record, after June and April of last year, Treasury data shows.
The figure comes on the heels of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package passed by Congress in March, which sent a one-time payment of up to $1,400 to most Americans, expanded unemployment benefits by $300 a month and temporarily expanded the child tax credit. The stimulus payments in March totaled $339 billion.
