There's been another internal email leak from a Pfizer ‘whistleblower’ to top off the testimony from Pfizer reps to Senator Malcolm Roberts at a recent Senate hearing in Australia. I tend to be more persuaded by the latter, but confirmations are always valuable. Click on the photo below to hear the Pfizer reps admit to this, and interestingly, what they say is almost verbatim what is written in the ‘internal email’. Pfizer undertook to import a batch of vaccines specifically for the employee vaccination program. Theroux and Hewitt - Pfizer reps. (Forgive me if the names are mis-spelled.) Here’s a...

Comedian Josh Ocean Thomas mercilessly mocked a Biden Admin staffer in the audience during his stand-up segment. Thomas delivered a slew of brutal jabs at The Laugh Factory when he abandoned his comedy skit to respond to a political confession from the crowd. Thomas asked an audience member where they worked, to which he replied, “I work for the Biden administration.”

Even though US District Court Judge Terry Doughty found the FBI's efforts to pressure social media companies to censor content the government maintained was disinformation violated the First Amendment and issued an injunction barring federal agencies from continuing the practice, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says "FBI spokesman William Truncheon informed me that they are gearing up to resume these efforts heading into the 2024 election season. Though Judge Doughty's ruling was upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court lifted the injunction until it rules on the Murthy v. Missouri case...

On this date in 1956, the British hanged two members of Cyprus’s nationalist resistance underground, the EOKA. Michalis Karaolis murdered a local constable; Andreas Dimitriou (or Demetriou) hadn’t managed to kill his target, and only injured the British intelligence agent he shot. This, however, occurred two days after the enactment of draconian emergency regulations to counteract EOKA terrorism, under which merely possessing a firearm could be a hanging offense, never mind discharging it into someone. The two of them weren’t connected to one another save in their common support for expelling the British from the Mediterranean island and reuniting it...

In a slap to Israel’s face, the United Nations General Assembly voted by an overwhelming 143-9 margin Friday to grant new “rights and privileges” to Palestinians and also reconsider its request to become the 194th member of the U.N.

VIDEOSenator Robert Casey Jr. who inherited a political career from his father Governor Robert Casey, Sr. has managed to get by for almost 20 years in the U.S. Senate by doing basically nothing but meaningless shuckin' and jivin' which, along with strong support from the Democrats, has managed to keep him in office. However, this year poor Casey is up for re-election and the Gaza issue threatens to divide his Democrat constituency especially since Joe Biden plans to resettle many Gazans in the USA, including Pennsylvania. Unfortunately for the Senate's Robby the Robot, he has not yet been programmed on...

On CNN This Morning, CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston said that porn star Stormy Daniels claiming in court that Donald Trump didn't use a condom ("protection") during their alleged sexual encounter constitutes a "sordid detail" that will hurt Trump with women voters in swing states. Host Kasie Hunt gleefully agreed with Preston, chuckling as she said, "It's all very sordid." No qualifiers from anyone on the panel about the porn star's claims being "alleged." The veracity of her testimony was seemingly taken as a given. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Kudos to FOX News reporter Bill Melugin for going where no FOX News reporter has dared to venture before. Melugin asked the most obvious question on overy Republican voter’s mind – why should we keep voting for these cowards and liars? In April, Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to send another $95 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel and NOTHNG for securing our own border with Mexico. This was the last straw for millions of Americans who thought they were voting for politicians who actually cared about America First and the global community second. On...

Nazi Germany wasn’t the first nation to be enamored with racial purity and a master race. It was America. Proponents of eugenics gained immense influence here in the early 20th century. They hoped to incarcerate millions of “unfit” Americans in colonies, forbid them from marrying, or forcibly sterilize them so that, within several generations, only white Nordics would remain. For them, this was ultimately a global enterprise. Historian and prolific author Edwin Black chronicles this dark phase of American history in his extensively researched book War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race. He charts...

Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he felt betrayed by President Joe Biden after learning that he is willing to withhold offensive weapons to Israel and accused the president of reneging on the deal they made to pass aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan last month. Johnson also said he hoped that Biden’s threat to cut off American weapons, made in a CNN interview, was “a senior moment.”

Israel has spent months cleansing Gaza of Hamas terrorists following the Oct 7 massacre. Today an Israeli spokesman said there were 4000 terrorists remaining- all holed up in Rafah. Israel intended an incursion into Rafah to put a just end to Hamas. At least that was the plan. Joe Biden just threw Hamas a lifeline. Biden, despite his and his regime's assurances that their support of Israel was "ironclad", has decided to not support the only real US ally in the Middle East. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would not supply offensive weapons that Israel...
