Trump: China ‘Getting Away With Murder’

Just days after calling out China on Newsmax for “buying” President Joe Biden and son Hunter, former President Donald Trump warned the United States will see its economic and world power usurped by Beijing.

“We’re going to be dependent on China, if he doesn’t do something about it,” Trump said in an exclusive interview on Newsmax‘s “Dick Morris Democracy.”

“And China’s getting away with murder.”

Trump also said China is going to seize more economic power on Biden’s push for green energy.

“Well, we have to go elsewhere,” Trump told Morris. “We have to go to China or other countries, and that can’t be.

The green energy push by progressives will give China even more economic authority because of its current dominance in the world’s rare Earth mineral mining.

“And with rare Earth, this is so important,” Trump said, lamenting Americans closing rare-Earth mining down under the guise of environmental concerns. “We have a place in California, they shut it down for environmental reasons. It’s crazy.”

“This beautiful, big, large, many, many acres of land, it’s got great rare Earth, and we shut it down for environmental reasons.

“It is crazy what we’re doing in this country.”

Fauci-Linked Wuhan Researchers Aided China In Oppressing Uyghur Muslims

The Wuhan Institute of Virology – now believed by many to be a potential source for COVID-19 – collaborated on scientific research with the premier Xinjiang paramilitary force sanctioned by the U.S. government for “serious human rights abuses” against Uyghurs.

The revelation follows increased scrutiny over Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for funding research on bat coronaviruses at the controversial lab and sending scientists to advise on risky gain-of-function research. In addition to funneling taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, whose website previously listed the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a research partner, Fauci’s agency can now be linked to funding an entity collaborating with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC).

Both Biden and Trump’s Treasury Departments have sanctioned Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) leaders for “serious human rights abuse against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, which reportedly include mass arbitrary detention and severe physical abuse.” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also banned the entity’s cotton from entering the U.S., citing its links to prison and forced labor.

Hillary Clinton Spreads Fake News: ‘Angry Mob’ At the Capitol ‘Killed a Policeman’

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D) shared fake news on Friday, the day Senate Republicans blocked a bill aiming to establish a commission to investigate the January 6 protests and riots at the U.S. Capitol, asserting that the “angry mob” that rushed the U.S. Capitol that day “killed a policeman.”

“An angry mob attacked our Capitol, our lawmakers, and our election. They killed a policeman. And Republican leaders would rather we all not know more about what happened,” Clinton said:

Clinton is referencing Officer Brian Sicknick, as the establishment media originally advanced the narrative that he was fatally wounded by a fire extinguisher. That, however, was not true. The medical examiner found no evidence of blunt force trauma. In fact, the D.C. chief medical examiner ultimately ruled that Sicknick “suffered two strokes and died of natural causes.”

As the Washington Post reported:

The ruling, released Monday, will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. Two men are accused of assaulting Sicknick by spraying a powerful chemical irritant at him during the siege, but prosecutors have not tied that exposure to Sicknick’s death.

None of the deaths that occurred among participants were found to be caused by violence except Ashli Babbitt, who was “shot as she climbed through a broken door into the Speaker’s Lobby,” per NPR.

“The bullet struck Babbitt in the left shoulder, and she later died from her wounds at Washington Hospital Center,” the outlet reported.

Hillary Clinton Lies About What Happened on January 6

As Spencer reported on Friday, Senate Republicans successfully filibustered a bill which would create a commission to study the events of January 6, in a 54-35 vote. That the left would be unhappy isn’t surprising, but it really is unhelpful for leading figures like Hillary Clinton to use her platform to lie about what happened that day.

Clinton is talking about Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick who died on January 7, the day after the riot at the Capitol. It wasn’t an “angry mob” which “killed” him, but rather two strokes. We know this thanks to a medical examiner’s report, which Katie covered when it was made available on April 19. That this was released three and a half months after the fact certainly did not help to control the narrative.

According to The Washington Post report which revealed Sicknick’s cause of death:

Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.

The ruling, released Monday, will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. Two men are accused of assaulting Sicknick by spraying a powerful chemical irritant at him during the siege, but prosecutors have not tied that exposure to Sicknick’s death.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries.

Diaz said Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a clot in an artery that supplies blood to that area of the body. Diaz said he could not comment on whether Sicknick had a preexisting medical condition, citing privacy laws. 

Democratic House managers arguing for then-President Donald Trump’s impeachment said Sicknick was killed by rioters, citing a New York Times story that said police initially believed Sicknick had been struck with a fire extinguisher. The Times later updated the story saying there was no evidence of blunt-force trauma.

Such is a further reason why the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump–who had already left office by the time of the trial–has little credibility. 

New study claims China created COVID-19 in lab, then ‘retro-engineered’ to cover their tracks

“We think that there have been retro-engineered viruses created,” British Professor Angus Dalgleish said.

(Just the News) A new study alleges that Chinese scientists developed COVID-19 in a lab and then sought to obfuscate by reverse-engineering virus versions to cause it to appear the illness evolved from bats.

“For a year we have possessed prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China in early 2020,” British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen claim in their work, according to the Daily Mail.

“We think that there have been retro-engineered viruses created,” Dalgleish informed the outlet. “They’ve changed the virus, then tried to make out it was in a sequence years ago,” he said.

One issue they point to pertains to the presence of four amino acids in a row on the SARS-Cov2 spike: “The laws of physics mean that you cannot have four positively charged amino acids in a row. The only way you can get this is if you artificially manufacture it,” Dalgleish noted to the outlet.

DeSantis Says He’ll ‘Enforce Florida Law’ Against Vaccine Passports After Cruise Line Unveils Plans

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has reiterated that his state won’t embrace so-called “vaccine passports” in the midst of confusion about whether a federally mandated system will be implemented for airplane and cruise travelers.

“We are going to enforce Florida law,” DeSantis, a Republican, said on May 30 in reference to a bill he signed earlier this month prohibiting passport-type systems.

Some cruise lines, which conduct a large amount of business in Florida, may be at risk of violating state law after Celebrity Cruises gained approval from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to require that cruise passengers and crew members show proof of vaccination.

Going a step further, DeSantis said Celebrity Cruises would be breaking Florida law if it attempted to require that passengers show proof of vaccination against COVID-19. The Florida state legislature passed Senate Bill 2006, banning passport-like systems being implemented in Florida in early May.

“You don’t pass laws and then not enforce them against giant corporations. It doesn’t work that way,” DeSantis said on May 28.

After the CDC shut down cruise operators last year during the pandemic, the federal health agency said cruises can resume under more stringent guidelines.

DeSantis said that the agency, however, “does not have the authority” to shut down cruise lines.

‘Stop the Monopoly Madness’: Biden Urged to Block Amazon’s $8.5 Billion Purchase of MGM

Critics of the deal, announced Wednesday, say it would harm workers, consumers and U.S. democracy.

Progressive opponents of corporate consolidation are pushing the Biden administration to intervene after Amazon announced Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire the Hollywood film and television studio MGM for nearly $8.5 billion, a deal that critics denounced as harmful to workers, consumers and U.S. democracy.

“In announcing plans to buy MGM, Jeff Bezos placed a big softball on a tee for the Biden administration to knock over the fence,” Barry Lynn, executive director of Open Markets Institute, said in a statement. “It should be immediately blocked.”

As the Wall Street Journal reported, Amazon’s purchase of MGM will net the e-commerce behemoth “a library of over 4,000 films, including iconic franchises such as ‘James Bond’ and ‘Rocky,’ and classics such as ‘The Silence of the Lambs,’ ‘Raging Bull,’ and ’12 Angry Men.’”

“The TV catalog includes critically acclaimed shows such as ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ ‘Fargo’ and ‘Vikings,’” the newspaper noted.

Made public just days after AT&T announced a $43 billion agreement to combine its content arm WarnerMedia with Discovery, Amazon’s purchase of MGM, according to the Financial Times, “propel[s] media dealmaking so far this year to its highest level since the turn of the century with more than $240 billion worth of transactions announced.”

The new acquisition prompted fresh calls for congressional action to break up Amazon, which in recent years has become what one observer described as “a sprawling array of loosely related businesses under one roof.”

117 Employees Sue Hospital Network Over Vaccination Mandate, Don’t Want to Be ‘Guinea Pigs’

More than a hundred healthcare workers have filed a lawsuit against a hospital network in Houston, Texas, arguing that they don’t want to be forced to take an “experimental” Covid-19 vaccine out of fear of getting fired.

Marc Boom, the CEO of Houston Methodist, a firm that runs eight hospitals with more than 26,000 employees, gave personnel a June 7 deadline to get vaccinated. The consequences of not getting the shot include “suspension and eventually termination,” he wrote in an April letter to doctors and nurses, which was cited in the lawsuit filed on Friday.  

A total of 117 plaintiffs are insisting that the hospital is “illegally requiring its employees to be injected with an experimental vaccine.” The hospital is forcing the staff to be “human ‘guinea pigs’ as a condition for continued employment,” the lawsuit says.

“It is a severe and blatant violation of the Nuremberg Code and the public policy of the state of Texas,” attorney Jared Woodfill, who filed the lawsuit in Montgomery County, told ABC News. Written shortly after WWII, the Nuremberg Code lays out the basic ethical principles of medical experimentation on humans.

A group of medical workers held a protest against the vaccination mandate outside Houston Methodist this month. “This is my body, this is my choice, and I don’t think employers, or anyone should mandate what goes into my body,” Kim Mikeska, a registered nurse, told the Houston Chronicle.

TRUMP: Democrats Are Fighting Georgia Audit Because ‘They Know The Vote Was Corrupt’

President Donald Trump issued a statement on Friday night slamming Democrats in Georgia for pushing back against 2020 election integrity efforts for a forensic audit of 150,000 absentee ballots in Fulton County.

President Trump issued the statement from his website amid reports that the Fulton County Election Board hired defense attorneys from a prestigious law firm who filed paperwork to halt the motion granted by a judge last week allowing the inspection of absentee ballots cast in the highly controversial 2020 election.

“Why are the Radical Left Democrats in Georgia fighting so hard that there not be a Forensic Audit of 150,000 absentee ballots in Fulton County? There can only be one reason, and that is because they know the vote was corrupt and the audit will show it,” wrote President Trump. “Republicans must fight hard and win!”

Federal Court Strikes Down Race-Based Restaurant Bailouts In Biden’s COVID-19 Spending Bill

A federal appeals court struck down racist provisions in President Joe Biden’s partisan $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package that designated billions of priority financial aid to restaurants largely owned by minorities.

In the 2-1 ruling issued on Thursday, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that showing favoritism to small restaurants at least “51 percent owned and controlled by women, veterans, or the ‘socially and economically disadvantaged” is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause which prohibits states from making or enforcing laws that “abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In the majority opinion, Judge Amul Thapar expressed concerns that the 21-day period slapped on the limited Small Business Administration money distribution did not offer equal opportunity to those hurt by government-mandated lockdowns including the plaintiff, Jake’s Bar and Grill which is owned by Antonio Vitolo, and his wife, who is Hispanic but did not qualify for the financial handout.
