When Russia invaded Ukraine two weeks ago, some were quick to quip that Vladimir Putin had single-handedly killed Covid. As the story goes, worldwide collapse of public support for Covid restrictions, abysmal approval ratings for the Biden administration, and internal Democratic party polling warning of a political bloodbath in November necessitated a shift in the news cycle away from the pandemic. In characteristic lockstep, jurisdictions around the world began hastily walking back their mandates because, you know, science.
Putin’s war in Ukraine certainly provided a much-needed diversion from Covid woes. Yet we should not conclude that the unconscionable precepts underpinning the pandemic response have been definitively shelved, and content ourselves with gawking at the unfolding disaster in Eastern Europe. Indeed, the hoaxers who used the pandemic as an excuse to crush fundamental liberties are the same warmongers who want you riled up over Ukraine’s borders and transfixed by a regional dumpster fire that their own meddling, grubby hands have been pouring gasoline on for years.
Those behind the trucker convoy that has descended on D.C. have proven less easily distracted. As we mark the two-year anniversary of “15 days to slow the spread,” the truckers understand better than anyone that Covid is not dead until every child’s face is uncovered, every emergency order rescinded, every public health edict shredded, and every worker fired over vax mandates reinstated or compensated. To prevent the Covid cartel from ever pulling this stunt again, every lockdown-advocating, mask mandate-imposing, vax pass-wielding politician and public health mystic needs to answer for the destruction they have caused.
At a press briefing last week with Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and representatives of the People’s Convoy, one reporter seemed confused as to the point of the truckers’ protest, given that many mandated have now been lifted. Even conservatives like The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh have superciliously questioned what difference any of this makes.
Cruz explained it this way: “It makes a difference to everyone who’s lost their jobs over these mandates.” For Johnson, it’s about “bringing the truth to the American public.” He argued that although “our response has been a miserable failure … the people that foisted this response on us … will never admit they were wrong.” --->READ MORE HERE
White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci sees a storm cloud on the horizon.
No, it’s not a new COVID-19 variant, a study saying masks don’t protect anyone from anything or nailed-down proof that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab Fauci helped fund.
It’s those Republicans, who stand a chance of taking control of either part or all of Congress, depending upon the moment, and have vowed to investigate Fauci’s conduct from the time he was funding research in China to the days when he flip-flopped in the advice he gave the American people.
“It’s Benghazi hearings all over again,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told The Washington Post.
Those hearings, conducted when Republicans had control of Congress, focused on the 2012 attack on a U.S. compound in Libya in which four Americans were killed.
“They’ll try to beat me up in public, and there’ll be nothing there,” Fauci said.
He said Republicans already have become an annoyance and it would get worse. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
