The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, is a devastating 445-page exposé some readers might find intimidating. Fortunately, the book also works as a thriller, with author Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the trail of a dangerous criminal. “Dealing with Tony Fauci is like dealing with organized crime,” Dr. Jonathan Fishbein tells Kennedy. “He’s like the Godfather. He has connections everywhere. He’s always got people that he’s giving money to in powerful positions to make sure he gets his way, that he gets what he wants.” The National Institute of...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday during her weekly press briefing called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "tyrant" and said it was "stunning" to see him enter Ukraine. "It's stunning to see in this day and age a tyrant roll into a country. This is the same tyrant who attacked our democracy in 2016," Pelosi said during the briefing.

It didn’t need to be this way. The Liberal years from 2015-2017 broadly fulfilled the promise of the first Trudeau mandate.... Then, imperceptibly at first, the great scourge of our political age began to make appearances within the Trudeau Liberals: identity politics. With astonishing speed, opponents of government action could quickly be labelled racist, misogynist, homophobic or any other of a litany of insults intended to personally scar opponents and discredit them as the worst society has to offer, without addressing the substance of their argument.... While Trudeau talked tolerance and openness, his actions were marching towards control and conformity.......

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that globalist tyrant Justin Trudeau feels comfortable admitting that one of the countries he most admires is China. It’s clear he loves power, styles himself as an elite not worthy of interacting with the peasantry, and despises anyone who disagrees with him. In a newly rediscovered video, Trudeau addresses a room of friendlies about banal leftist talking points. However, he takes it a step further when asked what country he admired and why. Did he mention his neighbors to the south? His neighbors and nominal figureheads across the pond? Anyone that values freedom? No,...

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) issued an order Wednesday mandating healthcare workers be fully vaccinated and receive a booster or face being fired, NorthJersey.com reported. The order removes the state’s previous option for unvaccinated workers to test regularly for the coronavirus instead of getting vaccinated. Medical exemptions and exemptions for “deeply held” religious beliefs will still be granted, Murphy said. The order includes all workers in congregate settings such as prisons and group homes.

GOP Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, more commonly known as "Dr. Oz" from his TV program "The Dr. Oz Show," called infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci a “petty tyrant” and challenged him to a debate on COVID-19. “It's past time Fauci faces the fact that he got COVID wrong. So, doctor to doctor – let's debate. This Doctor is in, are you?” Oz said in a tweet Thursday while posting a campaign ad attacking Fauci.

Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on Monday called on President Biden to use executive action to unilaterally enact pieces of Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda, just one day after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) derailed the party’s signature climate and social spending package. “[N]o one should think that we are going to be satisfied with an even smaller package that leaves people behind or refuses to tackle critical issues like climate change," Jayapal said on a conference call with reporters. "That's why it is now incumbent on President Biden to keep his promise to us and to the American people...

Imagine if China or Russia did this. An Orange Vest demonstrator in Australia claims Facebook is deliberately preventing activists from livestreaming protests. Melbourne has been rocked with unrest all week after a construction workers union demanded that all employees get the mandatory jab or face losing their jobs.

VIDEOThe collapse of China's second largest property developer, Evergrande, has yuuuuuuge implications including the signal that Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping has lost the mandate of heaven. This video will bring you up to speed on this Chinese financial crisis which threatens to rival the 1929 stock market collapse in America. Also note that fugitive Chinese businessman Guo Wengui prophetically warned of the Evergrande collapse back in 2017.

Maybe President Biden should handle COVID-19 the way he’s handled Afghanistan. It’s a strange thought, given how badly he botched the US withdrawal. But at least Afghanistan Joe had a clear idea about what we needed to do. COVID Joe has no such exit strategy. He’s making it up as he goes. SNIP Biden relishes this fight. He’s already achieved one of his goals — to change the subject from handing Afghanistan to the Taliban in time for the anniversary of 9/11. But the other political calculation is that he doesn’t need the support of people ideologically (and foolishly) opposed...

President Joe Biden visited New York and New Jersey on Tuesday to view flood damage from Hurricane Ida that killed 52 in the Northeast – and had to endure angry hecklers as he sought to provide comfort to suffering families. -snip- After landing at John F. Kennedy airport in Queens, Biden was met by jeers and profane signs from a group of angry Trump supporters as his motorcade rolled through New Jersey One red, white and blue flag said "F*** Biden' with a sub-heading that read: 'And F*** You for voting For Him.' A school-age boy at a protest along...

Will He Resign?Let Us Pray for an End to this Pontificate.Rumors are swirling to the effect that Pope Bergoglio’s recent colon surgery was not due to mere obstructive diverticulitis but rather colon cancer, that his condition is progressive and degenerative, and that, according to Antonio Socci, Francis has suggested that by next spring there may be a new Pope due to his resignation on account of health. That would create an unheard-of triad of Popes: one in office after the next conclave and two still-living Popes emeritus. At that rate, the Vatican would need to establish a 401K account for...

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host weighs in on the push for mask regulations in some U.S. cities despite vaccination status

Op-Ed: With 'Traditionis custodes', Francis Promotes Disunity (by Archbishop Aguer, Emeritus of La Plata, Argentina)A Regrettable Step BackwardsThe current Pontiff declares that he wishes to pursue even further the constant search for ecclesial communion and to make this purpose effective, he eliminates the work of his predecessors by placing arbitrary limits and obstacles to what they established with intra-ecclesial ecumenical intention and respect for the freedom of priests and faithful! It promotes ecclesial communion in reverse. The new measures are a regrettable step backwards.I was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires on November 25, 1972; I...

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, you dictatorial son of a bitch.You have been at war with your state's residents since the day you swore in, and the only downside of your departure is that it comes a decade too late.

ONE of Jill Biden’s top aides has been accused of “berating” other staffers and creating an abusive office environment like The Devil Wears Prada, according to reports. Trusted staffer Anthony Bernal is accused of a “mean streak” that has made co-workers cry, as it's claimed he bad-mouths other members of "Team Jill" behind their backs.
