ABC NEWS: “Put another way, hardly anyone thinks we’re more united now, and even fewer give Biden credit for it.” – Seth Dillon

CHESS: In 2017, the Adewumi family were forced to flee from Nigeria to escape Boko Haram. In 2019, while living in a homeless shelter, then 8-year-old Tani won the New York State Chess Championship. Now well housed, he has officially achieved the rank of National Chess Master. He hopes to become the youngest Grandmaster ever. The current record is held by Ukrainian Sergey Karjakin, who achieve the rank at the ripe old age of 12 years, 7 months, 0 days.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY: In Idaho, Governor Brad Little signed a new law banning the teaching of any theories that “exacerbate and inflame divisions on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, or other criteria in ways contrary to the unity of the nation and the well-being of the state of Idaho and its citizens.”

In the wealthy suburb of Southlake, Texas, anti-CRT Republicans blew out Democrats by a roughly 70% to 30% margin to take two seats and control of the Carroll Independent School District board. GOP candidates also took over the mayor’s seat and two seats on the city council. Voter turnout was about 3-times larger than in past local elections.

DEMOCRAT RACISM: The chair of the Lamar County, Texas, Democratic Party has officially resigned after posting a disgusting racial slur on his Facebook page.

He called Republican Senator Tim Scott an “Oreo,” which is a defamatory slang term used to describe a black person pretending to be white.

Following outraged push back from Republican leaders like Gov. Abbot, he has apologized and deleted the post.

FAUXTUS: [:25] – Is even one word of this true?

FLORIDA: Warning … this is disturbing. CLICK https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1388753368030617600 [:36] to see undercover video of a Clewiston, Florida, elementary school principal hitting a 6-year-old with a wooden paddle in a county where corporal punishment is illegal. She really whales on the kid, giving herself plenty of room for her back swing.

Police have turned the case over to the state’s district attorney, who will determine whether to bring charges against the principal. The Department of Children and Families is also investigating.

FROM THE DESK: On Tuesday, Trump launched his own one-way communications platform. The platform allows followers to share his posts to social media sites, but does not include a feature to let users reply or engage with Trump’s posts directly.

GATES: Bill and Melinda have announced they are getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage.

LEBRON: CLICK https://twitter.com/HoodieKD7/status/1389068337812938752 [:11] to see the racist b-ball superstar over-play the elbow that doesn’t appear to have even touched his face. HoodieKD7 notes in the next tweet that his text was meant to be sarcastic. Another tweeter noted, “faking being hurt to get extra foul calls? LeBron does this stuff constantly.”

LIFE: We’re only 1/3 of the way through 2021 and already 536 pieces of pro-life legislation have been introduced and a whopping 61 have been signed into law. The Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood’s research arm) calls these numbers unprecedented. We call them excellent news for the unborn!

MICHIGAN: [1:32] – Pure hypocrisy. Pure Whitmer.

NEW YORK: The caster of Chuckie Schmucker’s second vote is eager to fit in with the Left’s destruction of the nuclear family. This, of course, is one of the tenets of Communism. In 1972, I went with a high school tour group to visit Helsinki, Leningrad, and Moscow. Our Russian tour guide told us she wanted to stay home with her 3-year-old daughter, but the state didn’t allow it. She had been given two choices of career. She chose tour guide, because she thought she’d hate it less than the other one.

RANDOM ACTS: On Sunday afternoon, a collision on a bridge over Assawoman Bay in Ocean City, Maryland, caused one vehicle to teeter over the guardrail, throwing an 18-month-old baby girl into the water 25-feet below. A quick-thinking bystander immediately jumped in and saved her from drowning. The hero has yet to be identified.

ROMNEY: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/500948311267693 [3:33] to hear Michael Knowles report on and fact checked Mitt Romney, who was loudly booed by his own people.

TEXAS: On Saturday, the 6th congressional district of Texas had an jungle primary to choose a replacement for the seat vacated by Congressman Ronald Wright who died in February. Only one of the 23 candidates was an anti-Trumping Republican, so naturally CNN focused all its adoring attention on that guy. He came in 9th with just 3.2% of the vote.

The Democratic candidates, with a combined 36% of the total vote, were shut out. Nobody got over 50%, so there will be a run off between the top two winners, who are both Republicans – Trump endorsed Susan Wright (19.2%) and Rick Perry endorsed Jake Ellzey (13.8%).

TRANS: Wow … CLICK https://twitter.com/lavern_spicer/status/1388581820392955919 [:40] to hear Caitlyn Jenner say “it just isn’t fair” for biological males to compete in women’s sports. Caitlyn was formerly known as Bruce Jenner who won the gold medal in the men’s decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. What is especially notable about this clip is that Jenner recently announced she is running for Governor of California.

WASHINGTON: Chocolati in Seattle has earned a reputation for treating cops badly. On Tuesday, the girl behind the counter flatly refused to wait on an officer and his trainee.

From the company’s website: “We believe that it is a company’s duty to support the communities that keep us in business.” Riiiiight.

GRAMMY NOTES: Bunny and Bootz gave me a big giggle when they were here last week-end.

May the Fourth Be With You!

ALYSSA MILANO: CLICK https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/1388577334429581312 [:51] to hear a powerful message to race-baiting Leftits who engage in the bigotry of low expectations.

AMVETS: For 32 years, AmVets, a Congressionally-chartered veterans service organization, has sponsored a Memorial Day event called “Rolling Thunder” that gathers together veterans and their motorcycles for a genuinely thunderous and physical show of advocacy and support. They have traditionally used the Pentagon parking lot as a staging area, but FAUXTUS’ DoD turned down their request for 2021 … but not before wasting months of time during which the group could have been looking for an alternate venue. AmVets says they’re coming to D.C. anyway.

COVID-19: The Left is busy, busy, busy telling us all about India’s Alarming Surge in COVID-19 cases. What they are not telling us is that India’s surge only started after they started vaccinating.

They’re also not telling us how India’s wide use of hydroxychloroquine has stopped the pandemic in its worst, most crowded slums or how one district even put together inexpensive ivermectin kits that doctors could easily prescribe.

They’re not telling us how India’s wide use of these safe, effective, and inexpensive drugs has resulted in India, which has four times the population of the U.S., having less than half of the coronavirus related deaths. In fact, 98 nations have higher coronavirus death rates than India’s puny 130/1 million population)!

But perhaps the most important thing they’re not talking about is the high recovery rate (99% of identified cases) which is automatically adding almost all of the new cases to the herd immunity the pro-vaxxers harp on.

Meanwhile, Tony “Dr. Death” Fauci is recommending that all of India lock itself down. India is a very poor country whose citizens cannot socially distance or work from home. Many live on the edge of starvation, so any economic slow-down is a literal death sentence for, I’d guess, a LOT more than the 1% the virus is killing.

FAUXTUS: [:33] … huh?

GIRAFFES: [10:36] – Two of my favorite things … giraffes and True Facts! … Oh EW, I had no idea they’re tongues were so nasty.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS: Builders sometimes change plans in very unacceptable ways! Pro Tip: Hire a local architect who has a good reputation with the people who enforce zoning/codes etc. Pay him to visit your job site often to ensure that construction is done to plan.

ILLINOIS: [4:39] – Dr. Brook Bellow pleaded with Illinois lawmakers to not repeal the state’s requirement that abortion providers notify a parent, guardian, or other designated representative when a minor girl is scheduled for an abortion. This is worth watching. Also, tissue alert.

KANSAS: In 2013, Kansas passed the law prohibiting “wrongful birth” that some parents inflicted on doctors for allegedly failing to provide information that would have led them to abort their unborn babies. On Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court upheld the law.

LIFE: After walking out on three abortion appointments, this young woman made one more. After that, they told her she’d be past the legal limit. She says she told God, “If you don’t want me to have this abortion then you have to physically stop me because I’m just gonna numb myself out and do it even though I’m totally against it.”

As she and her baby’s father headed to that appointment, they took an exit ramp that met the Planned Parenthood parking lot at the bottom. As they drove down the exit of the freeway, the car spun out of control and they ended up on the side of the road with a flat tire.

The baby’s father said he had a new spare tire in the trunk, but when he opened the trunk to get it out, he found that this new tire was completely deflated. She realized God had answered her prayer, so she now has her beautiful son here on Earth with her.

NEW YORK: Gov. Cuomo’s nursing home cover up was even worst than we thought. At the time Gov. Death was busy negotiating with his publisher for his “I’m the hero of ‘Rona” biography, his health officials were not only suppressing the truth about their own statistics, they also quashed a scientific paper that would have reported the true fatality total.

Cuomo insists he did nothing wrong in his handling of nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic and would not resign from his position.

PAUL HARVEY: Policemen [2:09].

PAVING: A Scottish engineer has figured out how to use recycled plastic to replace some of the bitumen in asphalt.

PELOSI: On May 1, the Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone published a lengthy document titled “Before I Formed You In The Womb, I Knew You.” the archbishop examined the implications of high profile Catholics who publicly support abortion. In it, he said to public figures like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, “If you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon your advocacy for abortion, you should not come forward to receive Holy Communion.”

He also said, “I tremble that if I do not forthrightly challenge Catholics under my pastoral care who advocate for abortion, both they and I will have to answer to God for innocent blood.”

The reason this is more notable than other statements of this kind is that Cordileone is Archbishop of Pelosi’s home district of San Francisco.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: Päivi Räsänen is a member of parliament in Finland, a former Minister of the Interior, a medical doctor, a grandmother and a strong Christian. She is widely known for defending conservative Christian views and speaking out against abortion and euthanasia.

She is now facing three criminal charges for alleged “hate speech.” She says, “I do not consider myself guilty of threatening, slandering or insulting anyone. My statements were all based on the Bible’s teachings on marriage and sexuality.”

If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison.

VAX: The World Health Organization’s European drug monitoring agency has received 19,916 reports of “eye disorders” following injection of a COVID-19 vaccine. These range from minor discomforts to blindness.

YAHOO: “Yahoo” has at least two meanings. One is “hurray.” The other is “a rough, brutal, uncouth character.” I’m guessing the company wanted to evoke the first, but their behavior is leaning far more toward the second.

“At this point I trust Joe Rogan over Bill Gates.” – Kevin Sorbo

AMERICAN FAMILIES PLAN: As per usual, Democrats have given a backwards name to an initiative. One might think that something called an “American Families Plan” would promote the family. One would be wrong. It is set to disincentivize marriage and childrearing while allowing government systems to take over the family.

ANTIFA: CLICK https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1387946175563591680 [2:01] to hear anarchists declare their intention to destroy. Oh, and Mayor Ted, resign or die.

CATHOLICISM & ECONOMICS: Thirty years ago today, Pope John Paul II issued a landmark encyclical on economics called Centesimus Annus. Catholic scholar Stephen White notes that John Paul recognized that socialism had a fundamental error in reducing the human person to a cog in a machine that denied the transcendent destiny of every person.

But the pope also warned: “[I]nsofar as [the affluent society] denies an autonomous existence and value to morality, law, culture and religion, it agrees with Marxism, in the sense that it totally reduces man to the sphere of economics and the satisfaction of material needs.”

FAUXTUS: “Devout Catholic” Joe has officially removed the United States from an historic pro-life declaration initiated by the Trump administration and co-sponsored by 34 other countries representing regions all over the world.

The declaration is “not consistent with our current Administration’s policies, including those relating to women’s health, LGBTQI equality, and gender equality.” IOW, it’s not consistent with Catholic doctrine.

LIFE: CLICK https://twitter.com/Camellia_Alexan/status/1387795056698937348 [:06] to see a 24-week premie flex its perfectly formed hand.

MASKS: [1:51] – Oregon has revised mask mandate for outdoor athletics after a high school runner collapsed at the finish line.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: [3:09] – A cop in Nashua, New Hampshire, purchased this basketball hoop so the kids could play along with him and his buddies.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: On Friday, April 23, 2021, Pastor John Sherwood (71) was dragged off by three police officers and detained overnight for engaging in “homophobic hate speech” – i.e., teaching what the Bible says about marriage.

SYSTEMIC RACISM: CLICK https://twitter.com/Adam4d/status/1388309921230360579 [:54] to hear Florida Gov. Ron de Santis explain why critical race theory is banned in Florida’s schools.

VOTER FRAUD: A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to five years’ probation after admitting to casting an illegal ballot during the Nov. 3 election. The 70-year-old man cast a mail-in ballot for Trump on behalf of his mother who had been dead for more than ten years. During his probation, he will not be allowed to vote in an election or serve on a jury.

GRAMMY NOTES: During their visit this week-end, our Mascots spent hours playing in Nonno and Grammy’s awesome sand pit. 🙂

FEDERAL THUGGERY: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/813927235922845 [10:19] to hear Rudy Giuliani tell Tucker Carlson about the FBI’s raid on his home. The warrant was for “electronic devices” but they refused to take Hunter Biden’s hard drives.

HOLLYWOOD: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/thewillwitt/videos/511053876936264 [2:34] to hear Kevin Sorbo talk about the hypocrisy and intolerance.

INDOCTRINATION: [1:56] – Two professors from Roosevelt University in Chicago got caught celebrating how openly they can teach “social justice all day every day.”

When they were told they were on a hot mic, they celebrated it. There’s no need to hide the fact that they’re indoctrinating young people to become Marxists. It’s mainstream now.

JUSTICE: A Minnesota man has been sentenced to four years in prison and fined $12 million for setting fire to a Minneapolis Police Department precinct station during last summer’s social justice protests.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: The media simultaneously labeled FAUXTUS’s far-left, mega-bucks proposals “big,” “bold,” “ambitious,” and “according to our polls” even “popular.” They clearly all got the memo. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/newsbusters/videos/458728912066193 [1:23] if you have any appetite for MRC’s montage of horse hockey.

Morning Joe claimed a poll showed “overwhelming support from a majority of Americans” for the radical agenda FAUXTUS laid out in his speech. But if the ratings numbers are accurate, less than 4% of the U.S. population actually saw the speech.

The Daily Signal (URL below) fact-checked seven claims FAUXTUS made during his speech. And Not the Bee (URL below) compiled clips of the “best soundbites.”

PAWLOWSKI: [4:32] – Calgary police have obtained a warrant authorizing police and health officials “to use such reasonable force as they deem appropriate to gain access” to Pawlowski’s church to sniff out who is violating public health orders.

Pastor Pawlowski, who grew up under the jackboot of the Soviets behind the Iron Curtain in Poland, has been sounding the alarm about the growing level of tyranny in supposedly free Western nations.

RACISM: As this “pastor” so colorfully illustrates, “antiracism” is nothing more than actual racists discovering a way to shout their racism in civil society without being silenced … because it allows them to accuse anyone who disagrees with them of racism! – Adam Ford

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: So sweet! 🙂

TWITTER: On Friday, Twitter’s stock dropped about 13% after the firm issued weak second-quarter guidance on revenue growth while its user numbers fell short of expectations.

Twitter’s CFO blamed it on the COVID-19 lockdowns, which makes no sense. Being locked down has forced us all to use the internet a lot MORE not less.

VAX: After receiving her second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, a Nashville wife and mother of three is now unable walk. After spending ten days in the hospital, she has regained the ability to wiggle her toes. The hope is that she may walk again someday with the aid of intensive physical therapy.

In 2019, VAERS received 48,000+ adverse vaccine incident reports. Since this mad rush to inject untested vaccines into millions of arms, VAERS is posting tens of thousands a week. Pro-vaxxers say it doesn’t matter how many adverse reactions there are; what matters is how many people have been vaccinated (against a disease that is 99.85% survivable).

Well, if you or one of your loved ones is among the damaged or dead, then that matters a whole helluva lot.

XENOPHOBIA: Also racist.

GRAMMY NOTES: The Mascots have Carolina wrens raising babies in their open shed. And Grammy has mascots playing in her back yard, but you’ll have to wait for those pics. 🙂

ABORTION: “Devout Catholic” Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package made $467.8 billion available for abortion and abortion businesses.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has announced that they will vote at their meeting this summer about denying communion to Biden and other pro-abortion Catholics like him. The Church teaches that a person in the state of mortal sin cannot receive communion, and the Church is clear that abortion meets this criteria of mortal sin.

BIG TECH CENSORSHIP: Judicial Watch has obtained documents from the office of the Secretary of State of California that shows how a whole group of government officials in multiple states colluded with social media giants Facebook, Twitter, and Google to suppress anti-Biden and pro-Trump speech.

BLM CON: Get Rich Quick With Karl! – Avowed Marxist and Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, made headlines recently for her purchase of multiple luxury homes. In 2019, she got paid upwards of $20,000 a month serving as chairwoman of Reform LA Jails, which also spent $26,000 hosting “meetings and appearances” at luxury resorts in Malibu where guests enjoy $600/night pet-friendly rooms, a bar and restaurant, three pools and five acres of private Pacific beach.

BORDER: [5:42] – FAUXTUS’ official line is that the majority of adults are being turned back at the border. This OANN report suggests this is a lie and that smugglers are making big money.

CATHOLIC: Love the sinner, hate the sin. – When Vienna’s oldest Catholic church draped the rainbow “pride flag” from its bell tower as a sign of defiance to the Vatican’s recent declaration that banned blessings for same-sex couples, young faithful Catholics responded by creating their own banner in support of Church teaching, clandestinely pinning it to the same church.

The banner says “Roma locuta, causa finita” at the bottom, which means “Rome has spoken, the case is closed.” When doctrinal matters are settled by the Church’s teaching authority and that authority has spoken, the matter is settled and Catholics not only can be confident that this is God’s truth and will in the matter, but also must assent.

CHERRY PICKING: The report that Booker used for his so-called facts falsely classified dozens of hate crimes as “terror attacks.”

For example, a single member of the Aryan Brotherhood murdered a man, then murdered another man sometime later; a man with far-right political beliefs murdered a homeless man; and six white supremacist prison inmates beat another prisoner to death. Each of these four events were counted as a “major terrorist attack.”

Matt Palumbo searched the list and found only seven (not 62) genuine incidents of right-wing terror. These were carried out by five perpetrators who self-identified as either a neo-Nazi style White supremacist or as an anti-government survivalist type. These seven attacks resulted in a total of 22 victims dead (excluding perpetrators).

In the same time frame (which conveniently excludes 9/11), there have been 23 domestic terror incidents committed by Islamic extremists. Each resulted in much higher death counts. In fact, only two of them (2009 Fort Hood, 2015 San Bernardino) resulted in more deaths than all seven, genuine right-wing attacks. You can view the list for yourself at the link below.

COMEDIANS: [6:28] – K-VON exposes the hypocrisy of unfunny Leftists talking about how sad they are that there’s just nothing at all about Joe Biden that they can ridicule.

COVID-19: Ditto coverage of inexpensive, effective early treatments to prevent hospitalizations and allow natural immunity to occur.

FAUXTUS: “The man who totally received more votes than any president ever addressed Congress last night. Millions did not watch.” – Don Surber

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/whitehousebrief/videos/951933378972204 [14:38] to hear Sen. Tim Scott’s commentary on FAUXTUS’ first address to a tiny subsection of Congress. The address was by invitation-only and excluded many COVID-immune members.

If you need a dose of nausea, click the Twitchy links to read what good little Leftists said about Senator Scott for having the audacity to state that “this is not a racist country.”

FIRST 100 DAYS: “From abortion to racial politics, to the politicization of science and a humanitarian crisis on the border, the first 100 days of the new administration have indeed brought a partisan wrecking ball to the priorities of religious voters.” – Brian Burch, president of Catholic Vote

FEDERAL THUGGERY: On Wednesday morning, seven FBI agents arrived at the Manhattan apartment of Rudy Giuliani and remained there for about two hours. They seized laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices. Giuliani has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

His lawyer, Robert Costello, called it “legal thuggery,” noting that he had offered to answer investigators’ questions, but that they had declined. “It’s like I’m talking to a wall,” he said.

“Why would you do this to anyone, let alone someone who was the associate attorney general, United States attorney, the mayor of New York City, and the personal lawyer to the 45th president of the United States.”

GROOMING: Parents with traditional values need to be careful what their kids watch, because LGBT activists have made huge inroads into children’s entertainment. Disney, Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network all have bisexual, homosexual, and trans characters, storylines, and messaging. And now Pixar has joined the kiddie woke train, issuing a voice casting call for a new project that will include a 14-year-old transgender character.

IVERMECTIN: [16:22] – In the video, Dr. Benigno Agbayani, a doctor from the Philippines, strongly defended the use of ivermectin for preventing and treating COVID-19, pointing to “80 clinical studies” which support his arguments, and alluding to “bias” and conflicts of interest, which have led medical bodies to be reluctant about promoting the drug.

More than once, the interviewer tries to slander the Ivermectin protocol, referring to a “whole cocktail of other drugs” recommended by the FLCC for use along with Ivermectin. The FLCC’s “Early Outpatient Protocol” (aka, MASKplus) is at the last URL below. It gives the amounts of Ivermectin for various ages, body weights, stage, comorbidities/risk, etc. It also suggests adding Fluvoxamine, which is an anti-anxiety medication, not an antiviral, and which apparently is helpful for some patients in some situations.

Beyond that, the only actual drugs mentioned in this alleged “whole cocktail of other drugs” are aspirin, chlorhexidine/benzydamine for mouthwash gargles and Betadine for nasal sprays. NONE of them are anti-virals. The other recommendations – Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Melatonin and Quercitin (herbal supplements), essential oil inhalations (e.g., VapoRub), and oxygen saturation monitoring – are not even drugs.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: A new CBS poll claims 85% of Americans liked Joe Biden’s speech to Congress. Of the nearly 1,000 people polled, only 169 were Republicans.

NEO RACISM: Idaho has become the first state to ban the use of the controversial “critical race theory” in its state public education system. The new law will prohibit schools from promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and neo-segregation.

RUSSIA-GATE: [3:22] – Watch this to hear about new developments in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Also watch Hannity’s report at the link below. If we couldn’t get truth and justice under Trump, we surely won’t see it now. I am grateful that God will have the final say.

SCHOOL CHOICE: CLICK https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey/status/1387542672911474688 [1:44] to hear a Democratic state senator in Nebraska talk about how “the only people who are opposed to school choice are people who have school choice and exercise it.”

VAX: I took a screenshot of the beginning of the thread at the link. Click to read the rest.

GRAMMY NOTES: Eating is a huge problem for many autistic kids. I’m so grateful our mascots have skilled, loving therapists to help them! Eating a new food is broken down into many, many tiny steps. New foods are chosen by “chaining” them via similarity of color, taste, texture, with a food that is already accepted. And when two foods have been conquered, they move on to mixing foods. In the photo, Buzz is working on touching, making little mashed potato boats for his peas. It wasn’t all that long ago that Bunny would freak out if a food she didn’t trust even touched her plate!

BABY BODY PARTS: A 20-week abortion costs between $1,000 and $2,000. The price chart above shows the body parts harvested from just one such procedure adds more than $2,000 more in profit for the abortuary.

Under the Obama-Biden administration, an estimated $77 million in taxpayers’ money went into procuring aborted baby body parts for researchers with federal grants.

BORDER: FAUXTUS’ border czar hasn’t actually visited the border yet, but she has been sending copies of her book to put into unaccompanied minor swag bags. Like Sgt. Schultz, the White House knows “noooothing” about this. When asked if VFAUXTUS is making a profit at the expense of tax payers, Jen Psaki said she didn’t know, but had heard it’s a good book.

In Texas, four counties have declared locals states of disaster as a result of the surge of illegals brought on by FAUXTUS reversing every good thing Trump had done. They say the “health, life, and property” of their residents are “under imminent threat of disaster from the human trafficking occurring on our border with Mexico.”

COVID-19: You won’t hear this from the Slime Stream Media, but the data shows that new cases have been steadily declining over the past two weeks. And on Sunday, the CDC reported only 294 new deaths nation-wide, which is the lowest single-day number since Sept. 7.

Despite the fact that we’ve known for many moons that the ‘rona is rarely ever transmitted outdoors, the CDC has only just now gotten around to telling people who are fully vaccinated that they don’t need to wear masks OUT of doors, while the unvaxed can unmask while walking, running, biking or attending small outdoor gatherings.

DEMOCRAT CULT: [8:44] – “I do believe Democrats most especially are in a deep cult that they really don’t know about and aren’t really aware of.”

From the “Children of God Cult” article linked below – “Actress Rose McGowan lived with her parents in a COG group in Italy until she was nine years old. In her memoir, ‘Brave’, McGowan wrote about her early memories of being beaten by cult members and recalled how the group advocated for sexual relationships between adults and children.”

FACTCHECK: Facebook’s “independent fact checkers” work for factcheck dot org, an organization whose vaccination “facts” are provided by a group that holds 15% of Johnson & Johnson’s stock ($1.9 billion worth). Despite their best efforts, only 46% of Americans consider the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to be safe, compared with more than 70% for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. And nearly 1 in 4 Americans are disinclined to get any of the coronavirus vaccines.

IRONY ABOUNDS: I only watched 36 seconds of this and that was too much. [10:39] – YouTube, which is notorious for censoring right-wing speech, the platform’s CEO has received a “Free Expression” award at an event sponsored by YouTube.

This is not satire. If you want a giggle, click “Watch on YouTube” and check out what actual YouTube viewers’ thumbs have had to say. ::snork::

JEFFREY EPSTEIN: CLICK https://twitter.com/EoinHiggins_/status/1386849380863414274 [2:13] to see a couple of cringe-worthy minutes from a 2007 episode of The Fabulous Life Of Billion Dollar Wall Street Ballers that didn’t age well.

LIFE: Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has signed a law that prohibits abortion of babies with Down Syndrome, ensures that abortion drugs cannot be shipped through the mail to women who have not had an in-person medical exam, prevents taxpayer dollars from being used for research that involves fetal remains from an abortion, and requires dignified and respectful treatment of the remains of aborted children.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: MSNBC’s Joy Reid recently announced that, despite being fully vaccinated, she wears not one but two masks while jogging. Does she also have a St. Fauci shrine in her apartment? Inquiring minds want to know.

The SCIENCE says there is little to no correlation between mask-wearing and the spread of the virus, that outdoor transmission is virtually non-existent while running or walking, that wearing even one mask while exercising causes oxygen deprivation, which is harmful to your health, and that the vaccines seem to work for most people.

Bonchie at Red State opines, “If you are vaccinated and wearing two masks while running, you are probably mentally ill, and I don’t mean that in a snarky way. I mean that literally. To do that means you are suffering from a level of unfounded paranoia that likely needs professional help. … Reid is more likely to get killed by an octopus than to get the virus while running and perish from it. …

“That MSNBC continues to put someone in prime time that is as absolutely crazy as Reid boggles the mind. I know they are a liberal network, but that doesn’t mean you have to actively promote delusion and conspiratorial nonsense. Yet, here we are, with Reid spending her show promoting one of the dumbest practices known to humanity. It’s a cry for help at this point.”

MICHIGAN: Queen Gretchen locked her state down tight, banning all smiles and sunshine. Thousands of businesses collapsed or are on life support. Education and psychological health is in horrible condition.

Somehow, despite having done every single thing WRONG, Gretchen Khan’s state is having a totally explicable surge in COVID-19 cases. Naturally, since small children don’t seem to be much affected by the virus, Jackboot Whitmer has extended the state’s mask mandate to include children between the ages of two and four. That means they are now required to wear a mask in all public places, including schools, childcare centers and camps.

Best comment: “For once, Illinois isn’t the worst state.”

You can hear people yelling, “Stop it”, but it looked to me as if the only things that ended the thing were fatigue among the all-Black assault squad and the White members of the airport police who showed up to intervene. Cuz “systemic racism” or something.

I’m hearing Black Conservatives speak up more often these days about the undeniable fact that the only thing wrong with Black culture is Black culture. “We need to fix our own problems,” say the sensible heads. I remember back in the day when Bill Cosby tried to say these things. He got called all kinds of bad names for speaking about this truth.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: SCOTUS overturned another 9th Circus Court ruling this week, striking down the last of California’s bans on indoor worship.

Previous SCOTUS ruling struck down the state’s restrictions on small group Bible studies and prayer meetings and lifted California’s capacity limits on churches that were stricter than those on commercial buildings. This one shot down restrictions on congregational singing and chanting in church.

REMOTE WORK: According to a new survey from Flexjobs, 65% of remote workers want to keep working from home when the pandemic is over. Just 2% said they would prefer to return to the normal office model. Another 33% said they would prefer the hybrid model that combines office and remote work. The survey found that 58% would look for a new job if they had to return to the office full-time.

SATIRE: Here is a must-watch educational video from Trey Kennedy that will help you navigate the ever-changing COVID rules and regulations that you might come across these days. This is a very important guide to the logic around the ol’ COVID-one-nine. It is certain to clear up any confusion on what is allowed or not allowed in 2021.

SETH ANDREW: Former Obama adviser Seth Andrew (42) has been arrested and charged by the FBI with stealing $218,005 from charter schools he helped found. The charges include wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to a financial institution.

SYSTEMIC RACISM: According to a UCLA student, automatic soap dispensers are racist, because they force those with “black and brown bodies” to show their palms, which are the only areas of their skin light enough to trigger the soap to come out.

Doc Holliday at Not The Bee commented, “Like, were you planning on having the hand soap dispense from its container and land somewhere other than the palm of your hand? Where, if I may ask? Your eyeball, perhaps? Your elbow? Your earhole? Your foot?”

UK: [6:21] – Tens of thousands of unmasked Brits marched through London demanding freedom from the U.K. government’s extreme COVID-19 restrictions.

GRAMMY NOTES: Army Prince Junior is doing a lesson on economics. His mom reports, “They have to create a product to sell, develop a business plan, work with a budget, do a cost estimate, produce their product and then sell it.

“He had two products in mind. Pillows in kid patterns polled better. So we gave him a budget and took him to the store where we focused on target audience to decide what fabrics to purchase. Now we are learning how to wash, iron, and trim the fabric, cut the pieces, and sew and stuff the pillows.

“The only thing we still need to figure out is how much to sell them for. The kids are earning tickets in school which they can use on market day to purchase the goods their friends are manufacturing and will be selling.”

He’s in second grade, but as you might have guessed already, it’s not a public school. I am SO excited about this project!

The (Undercover) Epicenter Nurse

April 2021: COVID nurse explains becoming a whistleblower: ‘I recorded them murdering patients’ [8:38]

Erin Maria Olzewski, the whistleblower nurse who made headlines last year documenting “fraud, negligence, and greed” that “led to unnecessary deaths” during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, sat down with LifeSiteNews during the Health & Freedom Conference to share her experience and reflections.

Olzewski revealed how patients who repeatedly tested negative for COVID-19 were being described as “COVID confirmed” in their charts, which triggered a higher compensation from government payouts.

She contrasted the treatments that they had provided in Florida to what was happening in New York.

“[In Florida] we treated our patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc … sent them home and they were fine.” In New York, “they were banning alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine. The only thing they could do was to put people on ventilators.”

At the time, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provided what some called “perverse incentives” instituted by government COVID-19 relief funding, which awarded significantly more compensation to hospitals should patients be classified as COVID-19 positive ($13,000) or if they are put on a ventilator ($39,000).

Olzewski indicated these incentives dramatically impacted what was happening at Elmhurst. “You know, $13,000 to admit [COVID-19 classified] patients, and they were just admitting everybody.”

She further alleged that with the $39,000 incentive, the hospital would then put admitted patients “on a ventilator that they knew would kill them.” In addition, “in some cases” there was an incentive of “$10,000 [for] every death.” With families kicked out and not being able to monitor, it was “the perfect storm, and people took advantage of it.”

June 2020: Perspectives on the Pandemic: Episode Nine [1:10:34]

Erin Marie Olszewski is a Nurse-turned-investigative journalist, who has spent the last few months on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, on the inside in two radically different settings. Two hospitals. One private, the other public. One in Florida, the other in New York. And not just any New York public hospital, but the “epicenter of the epicenter” itself, the infamous Elmhurst in Donald Trump’s Queens. As a result of these diametrically opposed experiences, she has the ultimate “perspective on the pandemic.“

“I recorded them murdering patients. I recorded just the complete and absolute disregard for human life,” she said.

BASEBALL: CLICK https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1386471746723794944 [:32] to see how patriotic baseball and sports reporting used to be.

BETRAYAL: The New York Slime reported on a leaked audio tape in which it was revealed that Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry (now FAUXTUS’ “climate envoy”) ratted out Israel to Iran at least 200 times.

This revelation echoes reports that, in 2015, Obama officials saved the life of terrorist and Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani by notifying Iran about an Israeli plot to assassinate him.

Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East. Iran’s leadership wants to see us both wiped off the face of the Earth.

BORDER: FAUXTUS’ “border czar” s planning on making a trip to South America that will not include a stop at the U.S. border amid the growing crisis. Both Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey have invited VFAUXTUS Harris to their states to take a tour of the situation at the border, but she has given no indication she plans to take them up on the offer:

Slow Joe put Kamala in charge of handling the border crisis more than three weeks ago; she has yet to hold a press conference or address the issue publicly. Instead, she has assured Americans she is working on the issue behind the scenes. Right. I can just imagine the kind of reaction that would’ve gotten if Trump had tried it.

Harris has a lower approval rating (49) than Trump’s VP, Mike Pence (50), had during his first 100 days. This is especially remarkable when you factor in the vicious media coverage suffered by anyone associated with Trump vs. the slobbering media covered enjoyed by anyone associated with Biden.

CENSUS: Apportionment changes resulting from the 2020 census were announced yesterday. The reshuffling gives Republicans a clear advantage.

COVID-19: Texas and Florida, both red states that opened up early, are continuing to report fewer new cases per capita than blue states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York that have imposed harsh lockdowns and mandates.

ELECTRIC CARS: [1:09] – Lefties pat themselves on the back for their “green” electric car that is being charged with power generated about 95% by coal.

EMPTY PROMISES: Joe Biden campaigned on being the candidate who could “shut down the virus and not the economy” while mocking Trump’s supposed lack of leadership on the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yeah, no. It turns out he was just blowing smoke.

As I recall, we pointed out during the campaign that he had a long history of making and breaking campaign promises and of flip-flopping repeatedly on important issues.

GREEN NEW DEAL: [2:21] – Marjorie Taylor Green and AOC have agreed to debate the GND. She says if AOC doesn’t show up, she’ll show herself for what she is – i.e. “A scared little girl that is pretty stupid and doesn’t know anything about the economy or economics. She doesn’t have enough common sense to actually be able to produce anything in the real world.”

MICHIGAN: [2:30] – Democrat State Representative Jewell Jones and his unidentified female passenger were driving so recklessly that the 911 calls poured in. Police arrived after the intoxicated Jewell had rolled his car into a ditch.

When police and paramedics arrived at the crash site, both Jewell and the woman both had their pants down. The woman was vomiting and “unable to stand on her own and was essentially unresponsive” as paramedics tried to administer care.

Police engaged in a struggle with Jones, who at one point shouted the N word at one of the officers. When asked to identify themselves, Jewell refused, saying only that they were “people of importance.” As police attempted to subdue the combative politician, he said, “I’ll call Governor Whitmer right now. When I call Gretchen I need y’alls IDs and badges.”

Officers finally managed to get Jones into handcuffs and take him away. He was held overnight at the county jail. His blood alcohol was more than twice the legal limit.

NEW MEXICO: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is lifting limits on indoor worship. “The change was made in light of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions that enjoin states from enforcing capacity limits on churches that are more restrictive than other entities like factories and schools,” Nora Meyers, the governor’s press secretary, said in a statement over the weekend. Schools in the state were allowed to completely reopen on April 5.

RACE: From 2001 to 2014, majorities of Americans, including supermajorities of blacks and non-Hispanic whites, told Gallup pollsters that race relations were either very good or somewhat good. Since then, this perception has changed dramatically.

Q. So what happened in 2014?

A. The Black Lives Matter movement.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: Robert Carter spent years in the foster care system. “My mom had nine kids, and I didn’t see my youngest [sibling] again. He was two. I didn’t see him again until he was 16.” Last year, he adopted five siblings.

TROLLING LEBRON: [1:23] – A witty cop trolled the mouthy, know-it-all, racist basketball player. LOL

VALEDICTORIANS: Bellaire High School in Houston, Texas, has nine seniors with matching 5.0 GPAs who are all graduating first in their class. Seven are Asian-Americans; two of these, Shirley and Annie Zhu, are sisters. The other two are named Alkiviades Boukas and Miles Mackenzie.

Funny how there only appears to be one white male and zero white females. It’s almost like white supremacy is a myth or something.

VAX: The European Union plans to reopen its borders to American tourists this summer … but only those who can prove they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

ALABAMA: On Friday, Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into law banning biological males from competing against girls in K-12 school sports. I guess that’s a good way to protect girls competing for college scholarships, even if the NCAA is making it difficult for states to protect them after they get to college.

This appears to have been recorded right after the verdict. Since then, we’ve heard at least one juror say they were all so frightened of being doxxed that they wouldn’t even share names among themselves, but rather referred to one another by numbers.

KANSAS: Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly has vetoed a number of bills recently that were passed by large margins in the Republican-majority state legislature.

The election reform bill would have required counties to verify signatures on early voting ballots and make it illegal for any person to knowingly alter a postmark on a mail-in ballot. Kelly alleged the bill would have suppressed votes and was “a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.” She also mentioned that “hundreds of major companies across the nation have made it abundantly clear that this kind of legislation is wrong. Antagonizing the very businesses Kansas is trying to recruit is not how we continue to grow our economy.”

The gun bill would have let teenagers conceal carry guns if they had a proper permit. She complained that it would allow more guns on school grounds, which would “drive prospective students away from our schools.”

The sports bill would have banned biological males from participating in women’s sports.

OSCARS: Link to nominees and winners … in case you care.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: Lassie isn’t the only animal smart enough to go get help! After Hickory the Mule’s 60-year-old owner fell of and was injured, Hickory took off down the trail until he found two hikers who he convinced to follow him to where the man had fallen. “He seemed very determined to get us to follow him,” said one of the hikers.

RENEWABLES: Wind and solar will never meet our energy needs. For one thing, they are too fickle. For another, they require massive amounts of materials, including steel, concrete, copper, and rare earth elements.

But the biggest barrier is the amount of land each requires to produce even a tiny fraction of the power we need. But just try saying, “Nuclear is the answer,” to an Enviro-Whacko and watch them melt down.

SCIENCE: The National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services has identified more than 500 “scientists of concern” at 90 institutions that receive federal grants. Ninety percent of them have received funds from Communist China.

“We’ve seen scientists tell their American institutions and the NIH that they’re spending 100% of their time here in the U.S., when in fact they’re spending 50-60% of their time in China, so they’re lying about where they’re spending their time.” – NIH’s Michael Lauer

VAX: [3:18] – Thousands of Americans have caught the coronavirus after being fully vaccinated and some of them have died. Meanwhile, there are at least three safe, inexpensive treatments.
